Lanyun River, 300 li west of Haishi.
After leaving the Dragon Palace Sea Market, Bai Cang went straight through Lan Yuan Prefecture City and traveled upstream along the Lan Yun River.
However, he did not go far; he only traveled three hundred miles before stopping.
"This place is perfect. If there is any movement in Lanyun City, I can detect it without being easily implicated."
Bai Cang turned his head to look in the direction of Lanyun City, his phoenix eyes reflecting the shadowy buildings.
Then, looking around, I suddenly felt my heart expand.
The Lanyun River meanders through the land, its surface spanning hundreds of miles, and its length at both ends seems endless, stretching for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of miles.
Standing here, Bai Cang couldn't help but feel a sense of vastness and boundless freedom.
Feeling the vastness of heaven and earth, I am but a grain of millet in the boundless ocean.
Compared to this vast天地 (heaven and earth), what are the intrigues, joys and sorrows of human life?
Especially during this period, Bai Cang has been scheming against people and manipulating their hearts.
Although fighting with others is endlessly enjoyable, now that I have left Haishi, I can't help but feel a sense of pride that "the sky is high enough for birds to fly and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap." Coupled with this situation, I suddenly have some insights, and my heart for the Dao has become more firm without me even realizing it.
In a daze, Bai Cang had been standing on this solitary peak for three days and three nights.
Suddenly, it swayed and disappeared into the Lanyun River, finding a monster's lair and disappearing inside.
What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand.
All insights and a sense of the Dao ultimately require solid, gradual practice to transform into real and tangible strength.
Bai Cang stopped here at this time for the purpose of cultivation.
His trip to Lanyunhai City was incredibly lucrative.
Leaving aside all kinds of resources, the various cultivation techniques alone are comparable to the foundation of ordinary unorthodox sects, making it a truly huge and lucrative opportunity.
However, if one cannot organize and digest these ideas, one will ultimately remain nothing more than a rootless duckweed.
It's like a miser guarding a mountain of treasures, unable to transform it into his own inner resources.
Among them, the most precious and the one that Bai Cang values the most is the "Black Water True Method".
This divine and demonic cultivation technique, which leads directly to the "body of gods and demons" and is comparable to the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Spirit, is not only his most important gain from this trip.
It was also the only way for him to glimpse a better level of scenery and gain a commanding perspective.
Only by mastering the "Black Water True Method" and gaining more insights can he integrate his own foundation, combine the spiritual light of various techniques, and create a unique technique of his own!
With this in mind, Bai Cang immediately sat cross-legged, and as his mind calmed down, countless Daoist principles naturally surged forth.
"Refine the profound aperture with Qi, cultivate the essence aperture with strength!"
"The former focuses on God, while the latter cultivates himself alone."
"They seem to be opposites, but in fact they complement each other."
"One method is to refine essence into qi, and the other is to refine qi into spirit."
"No wonder so many great cultivators, even those at the Nascent Soul Dao Lord level, like to cultivate both Dao and Demonic arts!"
After a long while, Bai Cang slowly opened his eyes, his heart filled with endless insights.
Some might ask: Since the benefits of cultivating both Taoism and demonic practices are so great, why do people focus on specializing in one path instead of embracing both?
The answer is actually quite simple: setting aside the opposition between the orthodox Xuanmen sect and the demonic Shenmen sect, the biggest reason is not that they don't want to, but that they simply can't!
Whether it is the Taoist arts or the magical techniques of gods and demons, they are all profound and extensive. Obtaining one can grant immortality, but the Tao is infinite while human power is finite.
While being inclusive is good, it inevitably leads to being a jack of all trades and master of none. Trying to be proficient in everything often results in being mediocre at everything.
If you force those "ordinary people" who can't even reach the highest level of Dao Foundation to walk the path of cultivating both Dao and demonic arts, wouldn't that deprive them of even their last glimmer of hope?
Those who cultivate both the Dao and the Demonic path must be exceptionally talented geniuses and unparalleled prodigies to be worthy of this title!
Ordinary "mediocre talents," or even ordinary geniuses, already find it difficult to specialize in one path, let alone have the "leisure and inclination" to pursue two paths simultaneously.
Bai Cang, however, believed himself to be "perfect for the task"!
"boom!"
With a thought, Bai Cang activated the "Black Water True Method".
But the Lan Yun River was surging with turbid waves, its true water essence extremely abundant.
As soon as Bai Cang activated his cultivation technique, an immense and unparalleled surge of true water essence gathered and flowed into his body, penetrating his cultivation and pouring into his body.
This stream of true water essence, once it converged into the essence orifice three inches below his navel, unleashed a powerful suction force, sweeping through his entire body's qi and blood, and merging into a drop of dark and profound Xuanming true water.
Then it spun around again, ascending along the flesh and bones, and opened up another orifice.
but,
"Little White, is Li Zaigan a god or demon?"
Bai Cang suddenly felt a pillar supporting the sky, and her tender face couldn't help but blush slightly.
The images of Xiao Nie, Fang Baoliu, Xin Ershibaliang, Ye Lan'er, and even Xiao Shuang, all of whom were exceptionally beautiful, flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
"It seems that the power-based cultivation method is not without its drawbacks. Too much energy can easily affect a person's mind and shake their resolve to pursue the Dao."
"No wonder the big shots of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect always like to keep hundreds or thousands of fairy concubines. It's true that the stronger you are, the greater your desires are, right?"
Bai Cang quickly dispersed the "Black Water True Method" and circulated the Chaos Divine Light several times before finally suppressing the lust in his heart.
Just a moment of lust, and my hunger is aroused.
That hunger, as if it wanted to devour him, instantly swept over his entire being.
"Damn it! One problem after another, huh!"
Bai Cang thought to himself, and hurriedly grabbed another handful of elixirs and stuffed them into his mouth, but they could only slightly relieve his hunger and thirst, and could not completely solve the unbearable hunger and thirst in his empty stomach.
A violent and unrestrained emotion made him crave fresh blood food.
This time, however, Bai Cang did not succumb to his body's instincts. With a thought, his divine sense, like a sword, slashed away all his distracting thoughts.
Then, with a flick of his finger, five-colored light suddenly appeared and disappeared, engulfing a large, green-scaled fish.
Despite his hunger and thirst, Bai Cang processed and prepared the large blue-scaled fish before wolfing it down.
Only after swallowing the large fish, which was over a meter long and weighed dozens of kilograms, did Bai Cang finally recover completely.
Then he gently stroked his flat stomach, his face showing disbelief: How could such a small stomach hold so much food?
But Bai Cang didn't feel anything at all. It was as if the fish meat had been transformed into qi and blood as soon as it entered his stomach, leaving no residue behind.
"Strong digestive ability, that should be good news, right?"
Bai Cang chuckled self-deprecatingly, "At least I don't need to worry about the problem of the more I eat, the more I poop."
However, this experience also taught him a lesson: physical strength training and qi training are ultimately two completely different paths, and the taboos and tricks within them are also incomparable.
The "True Method of Black Water" would not record such "trivial tips".
"Compared to the torment of burning lust, the craving for blood and food is the problem I need to solve first."
Thinking this way, Bai Cang immediately stopped in a hurry to cultivate the "Black Water True Method".
Instead, he leaped up and hunted down over a hundred monsters of all sizes, refining them all into "flesh and blood essence" before resuming his cultivation of the "Black Water True Method".
Compared to eating raw blood or the loss of "nutrients" after cooking, which necessitates compensating for quality with quantity, refining blood into "blood pills" and consuming them is undoubtedly more acceptable to Bai Cang.
Three days later, Bai Cang circulated the complete "Black Water True Method" once, and all of the more than one hundred "Blood Pills" were completely consumed.
He also opened nine of the "essence apertures" recorded in the "Black Water True Method".
【Ten Thousand Snakes, Thousand Pythons, Hundred Dragons: The Divine Fist】
The great Daoist sound resounded, and countless Daoist principles rose up.
Bai Cang couldn't help but show a look of joy: there was an unexpected gain!
