Chapter 34 Teaching
Zhou An left the mountain that had been cut in half, jumped off the flying sword, and used Qinggong to fly through the woods.
He didn't know the situation of Purple River Demon Lord. Flying in the sky was too conspicuous, so he could only hide his body with the help of the tree canopy here.
After getting away from this area, he flew carefully in the central area. The little demon would not actively attack the innate cultivator unless he was forced to do so.
As for the big demon, one glance from Zhou An's magical eyes would make him fall into an illusion, which was enough time to make him leave.
It was unprecedented for him to carry a beautiful woman around to sign in all night. Finally, they found a cave and put Hua Wu Yue on relatively flat ground.
He sat on the other side, eager to take a look at the thing he had just snatched from the Blue-Eyed Ghost Bat King. According to the system introduction, it was called Vermillion Fruit, and it had been growing for a thousand years. Its red color represented maturity.
Each pill can increase your cultivation by 60 years. You can only eat it once. Eating more than that will not only be useless but will also cause poisoning to your body.
There were 26 red fruits on this plant. He immediately picked one and ate it. He felt the overbearing fiery energy in his abdomen. He quickly used his internal energy to absorb it and disperse the heat to avoid being burned. No wonder only one of these fruits could be eaten. Moreover, unless one was an innate cultivator, he would not be able to absorb it at all and would instead die from fire poisoning.
After he absorbed the energy of this red fruit, his cultivation level reached 310 years and he finally reached the second level of innateness.
For others, it takes a hundred years of cultivation to advance to one mirror realm, but he only has three hundred years of cultivation. So, by this calculation, when he reaches the fourth level of innateness, will he be able to compete with others at the tenth level of innateness?
However, when he thought of the triple heavenly tribulation, he was still a little worried. Based on the information he had currently, the tribulation was quite dangerous.
When he finished absorbing it, Hua Wu Yue suddenly said, "Congratulations to you for your breakthrough."
Zhou An took out some drinks and food and placed them in front of her and said, "You are awake now. Eat something so that your injuries can heal faster."
When she saw Zhou An taking out the steaming food and the eight-treasure porridge made of flowers and fruits, she was filled with disbelief.
Zhou An smiled and said, "I have storage treasures. These are bought from restaurants in various places and stored. They are all fresh."
"You are really rich." Hua Wu Yue smiled slightly, without too much politeness, picked up the eight-treasure porridge and started eating.
Storage items are relatively rare, and I didn't expect Zhou An to be able to buy them with money. However, when I thought about the astronomical sum of money he took out this time, I felt relieved. That much money could really allow some people to sell treasures that have no direct relationship with cultivation.
Although practitioners have few opportunities to use money, there are always times when it is useful. Many practitioners will also participate in mortals' chamber of commerce transactions. Some good things can appear in the chamber of commerce, so money is also very useful.
Although the ascetics can steal these items without anyone noticing, they will have to pay a heavy price for doing so when the heavenly calamity comes, so the ascetics dare not do such a thing.
After they finished their breakfast, Zhou An said, "Your injury is very serious. I will take you to Qianjing to meet up with everyone."
“No, now that I know that Purple River Demon Lord is still here, he already knows that I am the new Lord of Flowers, and he will definitely chase me. If I go to Qianjing, wouldn’t that be like harming my fellow apprentice sisters?
It's safe here for the time being, I'll heal my wounds here. Fellow Daoist Zhou Nan, thank you for your care this evening, you'd better leave soon, I don't want to implicate you.
This is the Hundred Flowers Order, as well as the laurel wreath and robe of the Hundred Flowers Valley. Please give them to my junior sister." Hua Wu Yue's clothes turned into colorful lights and flew onto her hands. The laurel wreath fell on top of the clothes, along with a Hundred Flowers Order.
When Zhou An saw Hua Wu Yue’s white middle coat, his heart beat faster involuntarily. This was really very tempting.
He could only shift his gaze elsewhere and said, "I still have some unfinished business here, so I can't leave right away. I'll come and bring it to you when I leave."
"Okay, you must be careful. My master took me to train in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest before. There are many demon kings with high cultivation here. Don't try to be brave. The innermost part here is the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings. Even my master doesn't dare to step in easily." Hua Wu Yue reminded.
"Okay, then I'll go do some work first and come back in the evening. You stay here to recuperate." Zhou An stayed for lunch and dinner.
After leaving here, he continued to sign in in the central area. The things here were better, and he signed in many treasures, such as Millennium Ginkgo, Red Sun Spirit Pomegranate, and Millennium Jade Spirit Dew, which could increase his cultivation by decades.
After eating all of it, his cultivation level increased by a total of 140 years, and he currently has 450 years of cultivation level.
The only pity is that there is only one copy of these. If they were brought back, they could be used to train a group of innate masters.
There are also some minerals, spiritual woods, fairy bamboos and other treasures for refining flying swords.
When we came back, it was already around seven or eight in the evening.
Just came back and saw Hua Wu Yue meditating and practicing martial arts, but there was a demonic aura on his face and he showed a painful expression.
Zhou An immediately asked: "You were invaded by demonic energy?"
Hua Wu Yue finished her training, panting and nodding, saying, "The Purple River Demon Lord is too strong. If it weren't for the Hundred Flowers Robe and the Hundred Flowers Crown, I wouldn't be able to take even one of his moves. Zhou Nan, take the sect's treasures and leave. I'm afraid that if I become possessed, I might hurt you."
Zhou An frowned and asked, "Is there any way to dispel the evil spirit?"
“My demonic energy is not deep. If there is a righteous cultivator who has reached the seventh level of innateness, he can force the demonic energy out of my body. How many people in the world can reach the seventh level of innateness? Apart from the Zhengyi Sect and the Tiandao Sect, we don’t have much contact with other cultivation sects. No one will help a flower spirit.
Besides, now that Purple River Demon Lord is outside, it would be extremely difficult for me to leave. As the new generation of the Lord of Flowers, maybe only if I die, Purple River Demon Lord's obsession will disappear, maybe this is the best." Hua Wu Yue smiled, as if she didn't care much about death.
Zhou An thought for a moment and said, "The seventh level of innateness requires seven hundred years of cultivation."
"Almost. Zhou Nan, you should have just entered the innate realm not long ago, and you are still a casual cultivator. Didn't Senior Zui Dao Ren accept you as his disciple?" Hua Wu Yue asked back.
"No, he said that we are just friends regardless of age difference, not master and disciple. My sword-flying skills are still the basic skills of a casual cultivator, so my sword-flying skills are so poor." Zhou An laughed at himself.
Hua Wu Yue smiled and said, "Let me teach you. We flower spirits don't have as many rules as humans. The mental method is only suitable for us flower spirits. You can't practice it, but you can practice the moves and methods."
"Really! That's great." Zhou An was happy. This was what he lacked most now.
Hua Wu Yue smiled and said: "The basics of sword control techniques are the same, and the differences are all prepared for the advanced sword techniques of each sect.
You just happen to be using our sacred wood sword, so it's just right for you to use our magic."
Listening to Hua Wu Yue's instructions, Zhou An practiced sword-controlling techniques here, and only then did he understand that advanced sword-controlling techniques are to integrate magic or swordsmanship into the flying sword to unleash greater power.
The most difficult thing is to achieve the unity of body and sword. One needs to completely refine the flying sword and take it into the body, and then combine the soul and the flying sword. In this way, the flying sword becomes one's second life.
Once the flying sword is hit, the flying sword itself will suffer great damage, but the power of the flying sword will be very strong.
For the next five days, Zhou An would go out to sign in during the day, and come back in the evening to study with Hua Wu Yue. In order for Hua Wu Yue to recover sooner, he gave Hua Wu Yue a Zhu fruit, which would improve her cultivation and suppress the erosion of the demonic energy.
The central area of the Ten Thousand Demons Forest is the largest. It took him five days to sign in completely and he got a lot of good things.
After 600 years of cultivation, the Mirror Realm also reached the peak of the second level of the Innate Realm.
Later on, he was somewhat afraid to improve further. Assuming that the first level took 300 years, if he reached 900 years of cultivation, he might attract a heavenly tribulation. He knew too little about the heavenly tribulation and did not dare to try it lightly.
After five days of studying with Hua Wu Yue, he finally mastered the art of wielding a sword and was able to perform sword techniques in a decent manner.
On the evening of the fifth day, he came back and took out a piece of 3,000-year-old ** and handed it to her, saying, "Wu Yue, I found this. If you eat it, your cultivation will improve, and maybe you can dissolve the evil spirit yourself."
Hua Wu Yue marveled at Zhou An's good fortune. This kind of thing might not be something others would encounter in their entire lives. In the past few days, Zhou An actually found two treasures in a row. Even she was a little envious of his good fortune.
However, she still shook her head and said, "I am now at the peak of the third level of innateness. If I eat more, it is likely to bring about the third level of heavenly tribulation. You should keep it for yourself.
In addition to cultivation, cultivators also need to practice techniques, refine magic weapons, and hone their minds. None of these can be missing, otherwise they will not be able to survive the heavenly tribulation. So you must also control these things. Now, your cultivation is improving too fast, and the other things have not kept up. Once the heavenly tribulation comes, you will definitely die."
"I understand. Thanks for your advice." Zhou An clasped his fists in thanks.
"What a great lady of flowers. Living in the same room with a human man, Grandma Baihua will probably die with regrets."
Suddenly, the voice of Zihe Demon Lord was heard from outside, and then a red light flashed, and his figure appeared. His clothes were a little torn, and it was obvious that he was also injured in the battle a few days ago. He was probably hiding and recuperating these days.
