Tianhuo sat on the stone platform, feeling a little depressed.

He told Ah Li everything that happened yesterday, and then seriously discussed the supernatural events that happened to him with Ah Li, but there was no progress, and no one could tell what happened.

Tianhuo passed through the canopy, and watched boredly as Ah Li found the green vine, retied the birch bark, and ran out of the dense forest in the direction of the Tianmang Forest.

"Stop, stop, Ah Li, don't you want to ask me where I'm going?" Tianhuo shouted anxiously.

Ah Li didn't stop: "I don't know where you're going, but I'm going back to the Fox Fairy Forest." ”

Tianhuo cowardly asked, "Before you go back to the Fox Immortal Forest, can you send me back to the master's gate, or help me find my master."

You don't want me to stay in your consciousness all the time, do you? I can see what you're doing, and I can even know what you're thinking at the first time, it's so inconvenient.

My master is a primordial infant monk, and there must be a way to get me out of your consciousness space. ”

Ah Li stumbled and thought of the wet leg, and immediately felt ashamed, stopped and asked, "Okay, how far is your master from here?" ”

"It's not far, less than three thousand miles, but my master should be nearby, he received my distress Fu He yesterday, and he should have rushed over. ”

"It's not far off!Tianhuo, you let me be a little demon cultivator who has just entered the forging stage and go deep into the territory of the human race for three thousand miles, are you lying to me to send me to death?"

Tianhuo scratched his head: "Well, you have some truth in what you said, so do you have any good way to get me out?"

Ah Li thought about it and said, "We will return along the normal route, and if your master can find you, we will all be very happy." If you can't find you, you can go back to the Fox Immortal Forest with me first, the ancestor of our branch is about to break through the Jindan period in the near future. After she refines the golden pill and successfully transforms, she will definitely be able to help you. ”

Tianhuo pouted: "My master is a monk in the infancy stage, and he is good at all kinds of miscellaneous studies, so he has to go far and near. It's a pity that when I ran for my life yesterday, I used up all the Fu He who sent the message, and now I can't contact his old man. ”

Ah Li said angrily: "First, it's not that I invited you to come to my consciousness; second, you human race likes to wantonly slaughter demon clan monks the most, I can't send you to death in vain; third, I really don't have time to send you to your master, the ancestor breakthrough is imminent, and I urgently need the elixir, I must send the ginseng back as soon as possible, there is no time to delay; fourth, the body is mine, I have the final say."

In addition, I warn you to stay on the stone platform honestly, and you are not allowed to forcibly control my body without permission in the future. ”

Tianhuo raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I listen to you, but can you lend me your body for a quarter of an hour before leaving?"

"What are you going to do?" asked Ah Li warily.

Tianhuo smiled helplessly: "I want to go and see if my body is still nearby, in case I can find my body, maybe it can help us separate."

In addition, I have to go and pick up some things, which are good things that can help us reach the Fox Fairy Forest safely. ”

"Okay, just a quarter of an hour!

"A quarter of an hour is enough. ”

Tianhuo quickly found the place where he was injured and unconscious yesterday with the help of the little fox's keen sense of smell, but unfortunately his body was gone.

However, Tianhuo smelled a familiar smell in the air, and he didn't feel secretly happy in his heart:

"Master, the old man has really come, so don't worry about my body being destroyed, Master will always find me and let me return my soul. It's hard to come out once, why don't you meet with Ah Li's demon clan, it can be regarded as an increase in knowledge. ”

After confirming his physical safety, Tianhuo felt a sense of relaxation, ran west along the mountain road for more than a mile, groped for a long time behind a big rock on the side of the road, and finally found a small yellow cloth bag.

Tianhuo laughed: "Yesterday I fled here and secretly threw down a Qiankun bag, I originally thought that if I was caught by Lao Niu, I would have to yin him again, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now." ”

Ah Li stood on the red stone platform, looked at the yellow cloth bag through the sky, and asked curiously, "What's the use of such a small cloth bag?"

Tianhuo showed off his appearance, took out a handful of charms from the Qiankun bag, took out a bunch of bottles and cans of pills and a dozen small magic weapons, and took out tents, sleeping bags, pots and pans, red clay stoves, all kinds of condiments, needles and threads, and even a few boxes of snacks and a few wild fruits picked on the side of the road, piled a small pile on the ground, and then conjured the tricks and generally put them into the cloth bag.

"Ah~~~~!" Ah Li screamed excitedly, with brilliance in his eyes, the demon clan has always lacked space magic weapons, only high-level demon cultivators can have a high-level magic weapon, even the ancestors of the fox fairy forest do not have such treasures.

Ah Li asked heartily: "Is this Qiankun bag for me?"

Tianhuo rolled his eyes: "My master is particularly good at refining space magic weapons, these Qiankun bags are all the most rudimentary, most of them only have a storage space the size of one zhang, he practiced a lot when he was young, and later gave them to me."

Yesterday I was chased and killed by the green bull spirit, and I hid one here, and I gave it to you if you wanted, but there was one condition. ”

At this time, Ah Li couldn't hold back his curiosity, pressed the stone pillar, took over the body, and couldn't help but touch the Qiankun bag with his claws, and said, "You said, as long as the conditions are not too much, I can promise you!"

Tianhuo sat on his stone platform, looked at the sky and said, "Ah Li, when you are done with your business, find a way to send my news out."

My master has a lot of friends in the demon clan, and as long as you find any of them, you can send the news out, so that you don't have to send me back to the sect, and there won't be so much danger.

When my master finds us, I beg him to give you more and better magic weapons. ”

Ah Li happily hung the Qiankun bag around his neck: "Okay, this condition can be agreed, then now this Qiankun bag is mine." ”

Tianhuo covered his forehead and said: "It's yours, you can put your mountain ginseng in the Qiankun bag, which will save you from worrying about bumps, and you can avoid other demon cultivators from coveting it, now it's too big to carry the target on your back." ”

"That's right!" Ah Li, under the guidance of Tianhuo, smoothly put the mountain ginseng into the Qiankun bag.

Without the restraint of birch bark, Ah Li immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Thinking about running three thousand miles with such a large piece of birch bark on his back, it is difficult not to attract the attention of other demon cultivators, and at this moment, the biggest hidden danger is lifted, and Ah Li's mood has become very happy.

"Ah Li, is the fox fairy forest far away?"

"It's not very far, over the Boundless Mountain, through the Benwolf Plain, the Qingzhou Fang and the Tianmang Forest, the Fox Fairy Forest is on the northwest periphery of the Tianmang Forest, a small woodland, almost fifteen hundred miles away from here. ”

"Isn't that almost to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest? I heard that it is the holy land of the demon clan, a sacred place of the same level as the spiritual domain of the Daomen, and only demon cultivators above the transformation level can live there. ”

"The Ten Thousand Demon Forest is still far to the west of the Tianmang Forest, and you need to climb over the Broken Sky Mountain Range to reach it. I heard that the Ten Thousand Demon Forest is very large, ten thousand times larger than the Tianmang Forest, I really don't know how big our Dongsheng Continent is!"

Tianhuo said: "I heard my master say that this great world in which we exist is called the Earth Realm, and Dongsheng Continent is only one of the four continents of the Earth Realm, and many monks below the age of Yuan may not be able to reach other continents in their lifetime. ”

Ah Li talked to Tianhuo while running: "Your master is so powerful, he actually knows the affairs of the whole world. The greatest wish of the ancestors of our clan is to be able to advance to the Yuan Infant Realm before the age of three thousand, so that they can go to the Heavenly Demon Forest to see it. ”

Tianhuo thought of the master who was as impatient as fire, as cunning as a fox, and who especially liked others to flatter him, and who was also the master who treated him like his own son, and he didn't feel it:

"Ah Li, if I have the opportunity in the future, I can take you to meet my master. ”

"Okay, but I'm afraid that your master will hold his own identity and refuse to see me, a little demon cultivator. ”

My master is a very easy-going person, who has no racial or family opinions, and never looks down on others. I personally saw my master drinking and bragging with the mortals under the mountain, drinking too much and fighting with mortals, and as a result, the mortals were bruised and swollen, and you didn't believe it. ”

"Haha, Tianhuo, your master is really funny, he is so highly cultivated, why doesn't he use mana?"

"My master cultivates the 'Law of Nature', paying attention to the natural way of Taoism, advocating spontaneity, and when the state of mind arrives, the mana will naturally increase. When he interacts with mortals, he will solve problems in a mortal way, which is also a kind of cultivation. ”

"Tianhuo, what kind of exercises are you practicing, is it also a natural method?" Ah Li asked curiously.

Tianhuo smiled awkwardly: "Master said that my fate was too heavy to kill, and it was not suitable for cultivating the law of nature. My exercise is called 'Knowing the World Style', and it is very difficult to practice, and Master said that I may be the only one in the entire world of the earth realm who can practice this exercise.

But I haven't been able to understand this method, and after practicing for ten years is the third layer of the Qi cultivation period, if I had changed to other exercises, I would have already built a foundation. Ah Li, what exercises have you practiced?"

"I don't have a good master like you, the ancestor of my clan has been in retreat and cultivation in the cave for a long time, and he has no time to guide us, the last time I saw her was at the Fox Immortal Forest Festival twenty years ago.

So what I practice is the Fox Clan's own bloodline exercises, which are average in power, but the advantage is that as long as the level is promoted, the bloodline power will be automatically stimulated, and I will naturally master the next stage of the exercises, and I don't need to study it specially. ”

Tianhuo sighed: "Actually, your exercises are also very powerful, naturally inherited, innate, and most suitable for the cultivation of your own race, which is really admirable."

Your ancestors are so diligent! My master himself is very lazy, and he likes to study refining and alchemy miscellaneous, so he has been stuck in the Yuan Infant Stage and has not been able to advance to the Transformation Stage.

But he said I was a hundred times lazier than him, that I was ruining my genius qualifications, but I had to work hard. ”

Ah Li sighed: "That's because your master has placed too much hope on you, and you should feel lucky to have a master who cares about you so much." Like me, I've been cultivating for three hundred years, and it's not as high as you, so when you go back this time, you must cultivate well and don't let your master down. ”

"Ah Li, what realm are you in now? I'm not familiar with the cultivation system of the demon clan, can you tell me about it?"

Ah Li said, "Okay." In fact, the cultivation systems of the demon race and the human race are similar, but some of the names are different.

Because our demon clan was born without intelligence, we had a muddy life, and the initial cultivation could only rely on individual talents, and naturally absorb the aura of heaven and earth, which we called the Gathering Spirit Period.

The human race is called the "primate of all things" and is born with wisdom, so there is no such realm.

The demon clan in the spirit gathering period will form demon crystals in the body, and the size, quality, and condensation aura of the demon crystals are also different depending on the race and talent.

The demon clan that has successfully gathered spirits is called a 'demon beast', but it cannot be called a 'demon cultivator'.

If you can't even condense the demon crystal, then you can only be called a beast, in fact, the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks domesticated by you humans are all domesticated by beasts.

When the demon crystal is conceived to a certain extent, some of the demon beasts in the spirit gathering period will enter the general wisdom period, which is equivalent to the extension period of human monks, and the demon beasts after the general wisdom period can be called 'demon cultivation', and only then can they really cross the threshold of cultivation.

The monks before the formation of the golden pill were called low-level monks. ”

"Before the Jindan period, the realms of demon cultivation were the Tongzhi period, the forging period, the bone quenching period, the demon pill period, and the transformation period; ”

"Demon cultivation in the Tongzhi period begins to have a certain amount of intelligence, and begins to accumulate and compress demonic power, and the intelligence will also increase with the growth of demonic power; ”

"The above the Tongzhi period is the forging period, I am now in this realm, the forging period demon cultivation is mainly to temper the body, and the body enters the bone quenching period after the nine layers of the body; ”

"After the demon cultivates gold, silver, copper, and iron, it enters the demon pill period after the fourfold quenching of the bones, and the person enters the foundation building period after cultivating the qi for nine turns.

After the demon cultivates the Dan, he can speak human words, and after the person cultivates to build the foundation, he can practice the Great Zhou Tian Gong Method. ”

"Demon cultivators use their own demon fire to quench the condensed demon pills, remove impurities, and turn into golden pills;

Because after the demon cultivator successfully condenses the golden pill, he can obtain the magical power of changing the human form, so the demon clan calls the golden pill period the transformation period. ”

Tianhuo said: "I know this, when the demon clan reaches this stage, it can transform into a human form, enter and exit the world, and experience the red dust, and many of the demons described in Zhiwei novels are the shape-shifting demons of the Jindan period, right?"

Ah Li frowned slightly and said: "You are only partially right, the demon cultivators who can transform into human beings have all gone through many trials to succeed, and they have a certain sense of awe for the Heavenly Dao and the Terran Race, if they go to the territory of the Terran Race to experience, they are still relatively restrained and restrained, and generally do not deliberately do evil."

And most of the evil demon cultivators who were criticized by the human race were demon cultivators in the demon pill stage, who had never seen the true power of the Heavenly Dao, and were extremely hungry for power, unwilling to cultivate seriously, and just wanted to find a shortcut.

They are not willing to be lonely and anxious to go out of the mountain, so they will kill people and take skins, pretend to be human beings, and hide in the world to collect yin and yang qi and all kinds of cultivation resources, because they can speak human words, and there is a secret method of refining human skin, as long as they are usually cautious, few people have seen through, and all the human race has the legend of 'painted skin'. ”

Tianhuo saw that Ah Li didn't want to talk about this, and hurriedly said, "What about Jindan, how to divide the ranks?"

Ah Li exhaled a turbid breath: "The monks of the Jindan period are called 'immortals' in the world, and they are divided into 'scattered immortals' and 'ghost immortals' according to the different degrees of exercises and knots.

The monks who normally have a golden pill are called 'scattered immortals', which only account for 20% of the monks, and there is the possibility of further promotion to a higher realm.

And the so-called 'ghost immortal' is actually a monk who failed to condense the golden pill, because he did not break the pill on the spot, he condensed the inferior 'gray pill'.

All the 'gray pills' have lost the possibility of further promotion, and can only find ways to prolong their yang life, constantly improve their own strength, and resist endless thunder tribulations, and eventually inevitably disappear in the thunder tribulations, hence the name 'ghost immortals', ghost immortals account for about eighty percent of the monks in the Jindan period. ”

"In the realm after the Jindan period, the names of the human and demon clans are unified, and they are the Yuan Infant Period, the Transformation Period, the Cave Void Period and the Mahayana Period.

After the monks of the Mahayana period have survived the heavenly tribulation, they can fly to the immortal realm and become true immortals. ”

Tianhuo listened very seriously, and exclaimed: "Ah Li is really powerful, Tianhuo has been taught, in fact, I am particularly interested in these cultivation secrets, but Master and his old man always don't tell me, I think it's useless."

Listening to Ah Li's words today is better than reading a book for ten years, which really opened my eyes. ”
