"It seems your cultivation is still shallow, you can't even withstand this little bit of demonic energy."
Master Feng raised his hand and waved it, and a burst of spiritual energy spread out in all directions, instantly warming up the previously cold cave.
Master Feng stared at Xi Xizhi and said in a calm tone, "You are too young. In order to ensure that your Dao heart is not affected, you should avoid going to places filled with demonic energy in the future. Although you are on the path of cultivation, you are still in the body of a beast. Once the demonic nature in your body is aroused, you will be a demon for the rest of your life. Do you understand?"
As Master Feng walked, he spoke, hoping that Xi Xizhi would be strict with himself and not stray into the path of evil.
That road is ultimately a road of no return; once you embark on it, there is no turning back.
Xi Xizhi listened attentively to Master Feng's teachings and suddenly felt that this person was not bad.
Although she is old-fashioned and stubborn, she is a good person.
"I will keep in mind Master Feng's teachings."
"I hope you can do it, and not just talk about it." Master Feng took two steps forward, then suddenly spoke again: "Do you know what kind of fruit is growing on the trees outside?"
Xi Xizhi frowned, remembering that many people in the Imperial Guard had eaten that fruit, and wondered if there would be any problems.
"What harm would it do to humans if they ate it?" Xi Xizhi wasn't curious about the name of the fruit; instead, she was worried about the safety of the group.
This successfully dispelled Master Feng's initial aversion to her being a demon beast, "That fruit is called the 'Demon Transformation Fruit'..."
Those three words made Xi Xizhi's small body tremble.
Thanks to An Honghan for supporting her, she didn't show too much embarrassment.
The Demon-Transforming Fruit is a very insidious fruit.
It won't cause much harm to humans, but it's a deadly 'poison' for demons and spirits who cultivate the Tao.
Xi Xizhi had heard her master talk about these kinds of fruits before. Because of this, her master had repeatedly warned her not to pick wild fruits whenever she saw them, or she would suffer a loss and be deceived one day.
At the time, she didn't think much of it, thinking to herself, "The wild fruit is ripe, what a waste it would be not to pick and eat it. Besides, as a human, if she ate that fruit, at most her spiritual energy would be reversed, and she would be in pain for half a day, but she could recover by meditating."
Unexpectedly, in this second life, I almost met my end because of this very fruit.
She thought it was just a fabricated story by her master about the "Demon-Transforming Fruit" to scare her, but she never expected to actually encounter such a fruit in a different world.
"Do you know the use of this fruit?" Master Feng continued to ask.
An Honghan remained silent throughout, showing no expression except for a couple of furrowed brows.
Xi Xizhi said, "Any spirit that cultivates will lose all its cultivation by taking a bite of the Demon Transformation Fruit. If the person who planted the tree catches it and refines it into a pill, then the spirit can gain a hundred years of cultivation."
That's why Xi Xizhi called it 'poison'.
In short, if a spirit eats the Demon Transformation Fruit, it will be doomed and watch helplessly as it is refined into a spiritual medicine to enhance the cultivation of others.
For cultivators, their spiritual cultivation is everything. To strip them of everything overnight is nothing short of the most potent and insidious poison.
Thanks to Master Feng for stopping me, otherwise I would never have been able to ascend.
If she cannot ascend, then Xi Xizhi is destined to never return to her original life trajectory.
She will never see her carefree and unreliable master again.
Xi Xizhi's answer did not disappoint Master Feng. He nodded approvingly, "You do have some insight. Remember... no matter what you do, you must think about the consequences beforehand. Acting rashly usually results in more harm than good."
An Honghan frowned instantly. He hated it when anyone lectured Xi Xizhi except himself.
Xi Xizhi was about to reply, but before she could speak, An Honghan interrupted her, saying, "Master Feng, my people don't need your discipline. Your task today is to subdue demons and monsters, not to be a teacher."
The cold words made the dark cave even more eerie.
Fortunately, all three of them were worldly-wise and did not feel afraid because of the awkward atmosphere.
Master Feng glanced at Xi Xizhi, then at An Honghan, seemingly deep in thought, his gaze unfathomable.
His Majesty's attention to this little vixen seems to exceed expectations by far!
They had only known each other for a day, but Master Feng could tell that the two had a very close relationship.
If this little demon were to ascend to immortality, given His Majesty's cruel and obsessive nature, who knows what he might do?
Perhaps, letting this little vixen stay by His Majesty's side is also a very risky thing!
"I was merely offering a reminder; I did not instruct anyone," Master Feng replied to An Honghan almost instantly.
At the same time, he secretly thought that even if he wanted to get involved in this matter, His Majesty might not let it go so easily.
Oh well, let nature take its course.
An Honghan narrowed his eyes coldly, "If it is as Master Feng said, that would be best. Master Feng also knows my temper, so please do not try to anger me. Otherwise, once I get angry, it will be difficult to quell the anger in my heart."
If Master Feng couldn't understand the subtle warning in his words, then he wouldn't be worthy of being called a human being.
It's just that Your Majesty's ability to see into people's minds is truly remarkable.
"How dare I? Your Majesty is almost at the depths of the cave. Let's take a look at that monster first." With a wave of his hand, Master Feng, holding the demon-detecting mirror, leaped into the depths of the cave with the mirror as light as a swallow.
An Honghan had learned martial arts, and although he was not as skilled as a cultivator like Master Feng, his speed was extremely fast, almost on par with Master Feng.
The depths were pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The light from the Demon-Detecting Mirror diminished rapidly, and within seconds it quickly became dim and disappeared, merging into the surrounding darkness.
Seeing this situation, all three of them became alarmed.
Master Feng chanted the incantation once more, stroking the mirror with his palm, trying to use the Demon-Detecting Mirror again. However, although the mirror was intact, it was no longer of any use.
Seeing this, Master Feng stopped trying and put the demon-detecting mirror into his pocket. "It seems there is an array here to prevent the detection of demonic energy. Your Majesty should be careful."
