Chapter 261: Sense Acupoint (2/2)
”So do you know what's that Pure Yang Celestial Device? I heard it's a pagoda-shaped weapon.”
”Necromancers were everywhere in antiquity times and they would create all kinds of celestial devices, so Pure Yang Celestial Devices aren't anything extraordinary. There were so many pagoda-shaped Pure Yang Celestial Devices, how would I know which one is it!”
”No wonder we're lacking so many resources now. They're all wasted by necromancers and Grand Demons like you.”
”Though you're not wrong, it's not all our fault. You can blame this on those necromancers. They were the ones who wasted the most resources!”
”Never mind. There's no use talking about something that happened so long ago. Since my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, I'm no longer in a hurry. What about it?”
”Your puppet is pretty good. It's promising. Its cultivating speed is fast, too. But what do you think it can do with the low concentration of the essence in this world?” Green Spirit said mockingly. ”Compared to human cultivation, the most important thing for Demonic Cultivation is arousing spiritual intelligence. Once that's achieved, its cultivating speed would far surpass a human's cultivating speed but only if there's enough essence of the world. In the beginning, Demon Cultivation would need huge amounts of essence, dozen times more than a human would need. Your puppet is already lacking in essence since it didn't arouse any spiritual intelligence. With such small amount of the essence in this world, it'll need at least 800 or even a thousand years for it to successively finish its cultivation even with its speed advantage. I suggest that you stick to the old way and concentrate on cultivating your natal magic weapon. Maybe you can achieve something in a short time!”
”You offer no solution after saying so much!” Junior Leopard laughed, but there was a hint of challenge in his tone.
”There's no need to challenge me! It's useless. Everything is born out of this world, so we need to go by their rules. This includes cultivation. It's not impossible to break the rules and gain benefit from it, but there's always a price that you have to pay. This has been proven by necromancers again and again in ancient times. You should give up trying to take a shortcut.”
”But the world's changing so rapidly these days. I need strength to protect myself. Though I'm strong, it's not enough. It's likely that someone is targeting me!”
”What's your plan?”
”If there's no other way to promote cultivation, I can only cultivate the Pure Yang Celestial Device. But there's another troublesome thing!”
”What is it?”
”The Earth Fire Yuan Essence. My fist intent has a special function. It can summon the Qi of Earth Fire Yuan Essence from the underground fire vein. I know a place with fire vein and it was incredibly helpful at the beginning of my cultivation. But I've received letters from the Central Plains telling me that the fire in the underground fire vein is for some reason dying as if the fire is being quenched. Even the lava river is cooling down. Since the lava river stretches everywhere, it'll block the passageways to the center of the geocentric fire vein once it's frozen. I think it's because…”
”Of course it's all thanks to you! If you extract too much Earth Fire Yuan Essence, the geocentric fire vein will naturally cool down. Even fools know this in our times. Not even the craziest necromancer would do something like this for the Earth Fire Yuan Essence!”
”So I need to find another geocentric fire vein!”
”And extract the Earth Fire Yuan Essence again?” Green Spirit sneered. ”You said the practitioners of our times were immoral to use up the resources. What a hypocrite! Aren't you the same? You're going to use the limited resources just for your personal interests! What right do you have to blame us?”
”Looks like you've been unhappy with all my complaints about people from antiquity times!” Junior Leopard laughed.
”Of course! I'm one of them!” Green Spirit said. ”For you, it's a world in a legend. For me, it's my wonderful times. That's enough nonsense for today, kid. I can't satisfy your request for increasing your cultivation rapidly and it's rather difficult too. You better think of some other way!”
”What can you offer me?”
”It's different now. You should clearly know that many things have changed. There's not a lot that I can help with. But if I absorb enough of the Sun and Moon Essence and the Nine Heaven Thunder Qi, I'll recover some of my pneumas and trigger the power of the green lamp. Perhaps it'll be of some help to you.”
”The Tusita Fire inside the green lamp has already died. What other use does it have?”
”Of course there's use for it! It's too bad you're practicing the Internal Qi of fire. If yours is of wood, then you can use the green lamp to purify your Internal Qi!”
”My Internal Qi is pure enough!”
”It's not enough, far from enough. Speaking of which, I can give you a suggestion and advice!”
”What is it?”
”Build a solid foundation. Don't rush to reach Level Eight. A solid foundation will help you greatly when you try to enter the Mysterious Realm and get Individual Immortal Karma Rank. Or even Genuine Immortal and Human Immortal Karma Rank. Your Internal Qi is pretty pure thanks to the help of the Demonic Fire from Primitive Dragon Chimera, but it's because of this that your Internal Qi is turning into Demonic Fire. Your body is a human one. It may seem powerful now but eventually, it'll become incompatible with your Internal Qi and slow down your future cultivation.”
”Then what should I do?”
”Didn't you manage to cultivate one of the Nine Forms of Real Dragon? If I were you, I'd start with Sense Acupoint to figure out about Real Dragon's Nine Acupoint and merge my nine acupoints with it. After all, you have congenital god bloodline in your body. If you're lucky, you may figure out one or two congenital god acupoint. Then you'll be reaping a crazy amount of benefit from it!”
