After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she turned and walked into the cave.
Wang Wu and Zhang Quan looked at each other and saw ecstasy in each other's eyes!
——Will they really have a chance?!
"Go, go, hurry up and catch up with the Demon Lord!"
"Demon Lord, you really have a chance for us, are you cultivating the devil or the Tao?"
"Demon Lord, we can't use the resources of the demon cultivators."
"Shut up right now! The Demon Lord was also a Taoist cultivator back then, so of course this is a Taoist cultivator's opportunity!" Besides, the Demon Lord doesn't need the Taoist cultivator's things anymore, so should he just give them away for free?!
…
The two of them chattered and followed in excitedly.
However, as soon as they stepped into the cave, they were stunned.
This cave is completely different from the bare cave half a month ago!
There were some messy and incomprehensible things placed inside, which took up most of the space. On the contrary, the treasures of high-level monks were piled in the corner, thrown around very casually.
Especially some magical instruments, which were thrown into the corner like garbage.
The two were stunned, their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief.
If this were to be left outside, other cultivators would be so jealous that they would be envious!
This is the treasure of Fairy Sang, the former number one fairy of Changtian Immortal Sect, a disciple of Master Wu, and the junior sister of Master Xuanyuan!
It was just thrown on the ground so casually!
"Are you going to give us your treasure?!" Zhang Quan was excited, rubbing his hands, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Wang Wu's eyes also lit up.
Bai Zhi sneered: "You are dreaming."
Zhang Quan and Wang Wu: "..."
Well, these are all treasures that Sang Baizhi has collected for so long, and they are carried in her storage bag. They are of utmost importance. It is normal not to give them...
etc!
That’s not right. Fairy Sang’s dantian has been destroyed and she is just a mortal. How did she open the storage bag?
Even if it was her storage bag, it was still a high-level cultivator's storage bag. How could she open it without cultivation?!
The two men suddenly looked at her and examined her carefully, only to find that she really did not have any cultivation skills!
Zhang Quan stammered, "How did you open the storage bag?!"
Bai Zhi had no expression on her face. She raised her foot and kicked a storage bag under her feet into the corner. In the distressed and shocked eyes of the two people, she said lightly -
"Who said that opening a storage bag requires cultivation?"
"Ah?" The two were dumbfounded.
Don’t need it?
Mortals cannot open the storage bag!
Bai Zhi raised her hand and conjured up a bed and a very bright lamp next to her. She then placed them next to the bed.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, her eyes excited. "The world of cultivation is a magical world. There is a magical substance in it that can directly affect people's consciousness! This substance does not need to be processed or purified, it can be used directly. Its energy is enormous and can achieve everything that consciousness can imagine!"
Wang Wu: “???”
Zhang Quan: “???”
Bai Zhi didn't care about the two people's confusion and shock. She conjured up a large blackboard and a pen, and wrote as she spoke -
"You call it aura, and aura is what I call a magical substance! This substance is something I have never seen before. It is shocking and delightful that such a thing exists in the universe. I can research all my puzzles here, and aura can help me do it! I have always wondered what higher consciousness dimensions are like. Now, this world has given me a glimpse of it!"
Wang Wu: “…”
Zhang Quan: “…”
The two looked at each other——
“…”Is she crazy?
“…”It’s possible, after all, he suffered such a big blow.
“…”What about our chance?
"..." Wait! She can actually transform things directly, she doesn't have a storage bag on her!
“!!!”
Bai Zhi continued, calculating frantically, "You have a cognitive error. Opening storage bags, using magical instruments, moving mountains and filling seas, and so on, aren't actually using mana! It's spiritual energy! Mana is just a means, and cultivation is just the criterion. This world is so pitiful that cultivation is the only means to utilize this magical power—spiritual energy."
"According to the judging criteria, the one who uses the most spiritual energy has the highest level of cultivation. The more spiritual energy they can use, the more problems they can solve! For example, to open a storage bag, the spiritual energy required to open a low-level storage bag is..."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I've introduced a new measurement method here, which I call the Baizhi Formula. If the spiritual energy required to open a low-level storage bag is one Baizhi Formula, then opening a medium-level storage bag will require two to three Baizhi Formulas. My storage bag is a high-level storage bag, and it only takes five Baizhi Formulas to open it!"
She seemed to enter a state of ecstasy and continued to write——
"Of course, similarly, the use of magical instruments, the power of spells released, and so on can all be calculated using the Baizhi formula! Dantian is not important, and cultivation is not important. What is important is spiritual energy! As long as there is spiritual energy, you can achieve anything!"
Zhang Quan: “…” Fainted.
Wang Wu didn't understand what she was saying, but he understood the last sentence.
He frowned, suspicious, "So what you're saying is that even mortals in places with spiritual energy can be like cultivators?"
Zhang Quan: "How is that possible?!"
Bai Zhi turned around, looked at them, and said firmly: "Of course, cultivators are the medium. Spiritual roots allow cultivators to have the conditions to be the medium! As long as there are other mediums who can use spiritual energy, then mortals can also be the same as cultivators!"
"Impossible!" Wang Wu didn't believe it.
How is that possible?
How can monks and mortals be the same?!
What Sang Baizhi said completely overturned his cognition, overturned the thousands of years of tradition in the world of immortal cultivation, and even overturned their beliefs!
Bai Zhi smiled and raised her hand: "Look, I don't have a Dantian anymore, and my spiritual roots are destroyed along with the Dantian, but I can still control spiritual energy."
She raised her hand and waved it downwards. Wang Wu and Zhang Quan were shocked by the pressure from the high-level cultivator. In an instant, it was as if a thousand mountains were pressing down on them. Their legs went weak and they knelt on the ground.
They were trembling all over and beads of sweat were falling from their foreheads.
Bai Zhi slowly squatted down in front of them, revealing a devilish smile: "Well, does what I said make sense?"
Zhang Quan nodded hurriedly.
Wang Wu persisted, saying in disbelief, "What's the point of cultivation then? What's the point of practicing meditation? What's the point of advancing through the levels? Is there no point to all this?!"
She shook her head, looked at him, and raised the corners of her mouth——
“Of course it makes sense!”
However, before Wang Wu could breathe a sigh of relief, she immediately said, "The purpose of cultivation and ascetic meditation is to cultivate the body and mind."
Wang Wu was stunned.
Bai Zhi took off her glasses and wiped them, as if she didn't realize that what she said would shake other people's faith. She whispered in a hoarse and magnetic voice:
"Of course, both cultivation and meditation are meaningful. They can improve your body, cultivate your character, and bring your body and spiritual energy into closer harmony... But you don't need to spend more than two-thirds of your life on cultivation, and it's certainly not necessary to spend it on cultivation and meditation! After all, you can completely achieve everything that cultivation can achieve by utilizing spiritual energy!"
"This world has such great resources, with spiritual energy unseen in other worlds, yet you only know how to bury your heads in hard cultivation, wasting spiritual energy! Your cultivation is meaningless, a waste of time! Cultivation can only be a supplement, not the main thing. In a world like this, there's no need for continuous advancement, yet you insist on spending most of your life doing such meaningless things!"
"Living in a world like this, it's meaningless to practice diligently for years. Proper practice, meditation, enjoying life, and everything that Reiki brings, or delving into the mysteries of Reiki and exploring more and more rational uses for it, are the meaningful things to do! Reiki, a treasure, is only used as a medium by a certain group of people, and is divided into different classes. This is a waste of resources!"
Quiet, extremely quiet.
Zhang Quan and Wang Wu were stunned.
The two were not very smart people and had never thought about these issues, but what Sang Baizhi said still shocked and astonished them.
It can be said to subvert all cognition!!
After a long while, Wang Wu swallowed his saliva and said, "Then...even if you are right, there is one thing that doesn't make sense. If you don't practice, your lifespan can't be increased! Improving your cultivation can increase your lifespan!"
Bai Zhi heard this and slowly stood up, put on her glasses, and looked down at them.
"This is the first opportunity I give you, to increase your lifespan."
The two were confused.
Bai Zhi asked Zhang Quan to lie down, and she slowly stretched out her hand, with demonic energy lingering around it.
Then, her hand slowly approached Zhang Quan, and the demonic energy transferred from her hand into his body, as if controlling something.
Wang Wu, who was watching nearby, was stunned. He raised his voice, "Demon Lord! What are you doing? We are Taoists. How could you allow demonic energy to enter his body?!"
Demonic energy may harm Taoist practitioners!
Zhang Quan was shivering on the hospital bed.
But under Bai Zhi's control, he couldn't move at all and couldn't get up.
Zhang Quan was about to cry.
Bai Zhi explained calmly, "Demon energy and spiritual energy are the same. Demon energy is just a manifestation of spiritual energy. They are also mysterious substances belonging to this world."
As she spoke, her hands kept moving.
Bright lights shone on Zhang Quan's body all around. Bai Zhi's lenses reflected the light, but there was a more excited light in her eyes.
That is excitement and thrill!
Bai Zhi was indeed very excited. She took a deep breath and her voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Sure enough, my calculations were correct. Restricted telomere growth is extremely easy in this world! So I can deduce that the so-called advancement not only manifests itself in the release of more spiritual energy, but also includes telomere growth! That's why it manifests as an increase in lifespan after advancement."
Wang Wu: “…”
I don’t understand what this woman is saying again!
Bai Zhi quickly withdrew her hand, a look of disappointment in her eyes: "Sure enough, the medium for using spiritual energy that I just made is not enough. The extent of growth is very limited. So, the new medium..."
Next to him, Wang Wu was already dumbfounded.
Zhang Quan was also dumbfounded.
He could clearly feel that his lifespan had increased to three hundred years! !
He's two hundred years older than before!
They hadn't practiced at all, hadn't advanced in any way, and with their lowest level of cultivation, they had the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, who lived three hundred years!
This is more effective than longevity elixirs, but Sang Baizhi... seems still not satisfied?
Oh my god!
Their world was completely turned upside down, and they fell down, unable to get back up!
Bai Zhi touched her chin and fell into thought.
Zhang Quan was no longer suppressed and sat up excitedly, feeling his own lifespan, his face full of excitement.
"Oh my god, that's great! I can live another two hundred years!"
Beside him, Wang Wu, who was a little calmer, fell forward, hugged Bai Zhi's thighs tightly, and howled -
"Demon Lord! I want one too!!"
Wang Wu and Zhang Quan went down the mountain excitedly.
They were going to complete the task assigned to them by the Demon Lord - to recruit some disciples to go up the mountain.
"Brother Wang, what does the Demon Lord mean by looking for someone to help with the experiment?" Zhang Quan asked.
Wang Wu actually didn’t understand either, but he couldn’t let himself appear too confused.
So after thinking about it, he said, "The Demon Lord must want to prosper the Demon Cult and ask us to recruit followers and bring glory to the Demon Cult for her!"
Zhang Quan suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is!"
“That’s right!”
"Brother Wang, do you find the Demon Lord a little... scary? Her methods are truly terrifying..."
"Shh! Stop talking about the Demon Lord!"
"Oh, okay, but I think following the Lord might be very promising. It's only been half a month, and we've already gained over two hundred years of lifespan. There won't be many benefits in the future..."
…
The two chatted as they walked down the mountain briskly.
They arrived at a small market next to the Changtian Immortal Gate. Before following the Demon Lord, they lived here. Xia Cheng also took them away from here and asked them to help him with things.
The low-level cultivators live here. They depend on the Changtian Immortal Sect, but are also exploited and ordered around by the people of the Changtian Immortal Sect.
When they arrived at a familiar place, they were quickly recognized.
"This isn't Zhang Quan and Wang Wu. Where have you been all this time? I thought you were dead somewhere, hahahaha."
"Did you find some opportunity? You haven't come back for so long!"
"Tsk, what kind of opportunity could there be? Look at them, their cultivation hasn't improved at all."
"Wait—look at their lifespans!"
"Oh my god, have they established their foundation?!"
"No, they haven't established their foundation yet, but they have the lifespan of the foundation-building period!"
…
Not everyone can easily tell the lifespan of others; it requires special skills, but if one has a high level of cultivation, one can easily tell the lifespan and cultivation level of those with a lower level of cultivation.
The two of them originally had low cultivation bases, and many people present could see that they had a long lifespan.
"Oh my God, Wang Wu, Zhang Quan, have you really found a great opportunity? Increasing your lifespan, this is an extremely great opportunity!" Those with high cultivation levels couldn't wait to come up.
There was curiosity and envy in his eyes, and many people around him were looking at them with greedy eyes.
Lifespan...
This is the most desired thing for cultivation!
"This is not an opportunity we sought for ourselves, it was given to us by the Lord!" Zhang Quan said respectfully and looked serious.
"My Lord?" Everyone was surprised.
Wang Wu nodded: "Yes, it was given to us by the Lord. Our Lord is all-powerful. If you are willing to join us as his disciples, she can also help you increase your lifespan!"
Everyone looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Someone asked tentatively, "Does your Lord still have elixirs that can help people live longer?"
Zhang Quan was about to say something, but Wang Wu stopped him and spoke first: "Of course!"
If they knew that Sang Baizhi could extend their lifespans by simply raising her hand and manipulating their bodies with demonic energy without needing any pills to extend their lifespan...
That's horrifying!
They certainly won't believe it.
In fact, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it themselves. It was so shocking.
The others looked at each other again and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
Most of these people are independent cultivators. The sect does not accept them at all, and they are exploited by the people from Changtian Immortal Sect here.
If I could become a disciple of a certain venerable and extend my lifespan, that would be a great deal...
"Oh, that's great, Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, thank you for still thinking of us!"
"Hahaha, we are just casual cultivators, would the Lord be willing to accept us?"
"Yes, does the Master have any restrictions on who can be accepted as disciples?"
"Does everyone have access to pills that increase lifespan? Are there no restrictions?"
…
At this time, someone sneered indifferently: "This is ridiculous! The main ingredient used in the Longevity Pill is Longevity Grass. Nowadays, Longevity Grass is becoming increasingly scarce. Even high-level cultivators find it difficult to obtain. How can it be used on low-level cultivators like you? I think this is a trap!"
Everyone else looked over suddenly, but fell silent after noticing that the other person was wearing the clothes of Changtian Xianmen.
People from Changtian Immortal Sect...
Zhang Quan was furious. He didn't care about offending the people from the Changtian Immortal Sect at the moment. He cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Our Lord is very powerful, and she really did increase our lifespans. Otherwise, how could the two of us brothers have lived for over two hundred years?"
Someone nearby asked weakly, "Excuse me, Brother Zhang, what is the name of the Honored Master?"
"The leader of the Demon Cult, Demon Lord Sang Baizhi!"
Zhang Quan raised his chin and asked loudly, "Dear, do you want to join the Demonic Cult?"
“…”
Wang Wu slapped his head and wished he could strangle Zhang Quan to death.
It's over!
As expected, there was only a pair of old people, an old man and an old woman, who were both low-level monks who were nearing the end of their lifespan and were about to pass away!
No one else followed them.
But they all looked at them with greedy eyes, and the greed in their eyes was almost undisguised.
Sang Baizhi, she was once the most beautiful fairy in the world. Now that her dantian is destroyed, she's like a walking Tang Monk. Who wouldn't want to take a bite?!
Wang Wu and Zhang Quan took the two old men and struggled to avoid countless people and shake off many of those who were following them. It took them ten full days to get back to the mountain.
When they saw Sang Baizhi, the old man in the old couple was about to die!
"My Lord, I'm sorry!" Zhang Quan knelt on the ground, feeling guilty. "I accidentally mentioned your name, so I couldn't recruit disciples! And I almost attracted those who were chasing me, and it was very difficult to shake them off..."
Along the way, Wang Wu had been scolding him for a long time.
Bai Zhi looked into the distance and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You didn't get rid of those people..."
"What?!" Several people were shocked.
Obviously, there are high-level monks following them!
Bai Zhi waved her hand and pointed at the old man: "It doesn't matter, ignore them, the things on the mountain now are enough with just a few of you."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the hand surrounded by demonic energy stretched out towards them in front of their horrified gazes.
Soon, both of them became visibly younger.
The gray-haired old man instantly turned into a middle-aged man in his forties, both of them.
The two stared at Bai Zhi with wide eyes in disbelief.
“This, this, this…”
"I'll add two hundred years to my lifespan!"
"Me too. Oh my god, I've actually become younger."
"Our Lord, our Lord's grace is so great, we will never forget it!"
"I will definitely..."
Bai Zhi waved her hand: "Alright, everyone, get up and help me."
She led the four confused people into the cave.
There were some noises coming from inside from time to time, and half a day later, they came out again.
They moved a bunch of big guys out of the cave and moved to the junction of the fairy mountain and the barren mountain.
Baizhi assembled these big guys together, and the assembled guys became even bigger, at least ten people tall!
It was big and strange, and looked strange, like a magical weapon, but they had never seen such a strange magical weapon before.
Zhang Quan asked curiously, "My Lord, what is this?"
Bai Zhi climbed up and fiddled with the machine while saying, "A machine, well, it can also be called a magic tool, but it's something I improved, so it's not a magic tool in the traditional sense. As for its function... there's still too little spiritual energy here."
Zhang Quan nodded in agreement: "That's right, this is the border of the wilderness, the spiritual energy has always been thin, and the spiritual energy can't stay here at all, so this place has always been-"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Because Baizhi started the machine.
"Boom--" The machine had just been turned on and the sound was a bit loud.
A strong spiritual energy came towards me.
Zhang Quan: “!!!”
Wang Wu: “!!!”
Old couple: “!!!”
Bai Zhi smiled: "Okay, now the spiritual energy is rich."
"This, this, this...what's going on?! Where does the spiritual energy come from?!" Zhang Quan stuttered.
Bai Zhi: "It was sucked in from the Changtian Fairy Mountain next door."
Wang Wu: “…” He had already seen it.
The spiritual energy from the neighboring Changtianxian was sucked in by this machine like a vortex, and then spit out towards them. Under the continuous operation of this machine, this wild border actually had a rich spiritual energy environment!
The four of them looked up at the huge machine in awe.
After a while, Zhang Quan murmured, "My Lord... you can actually refine weapons? Refining weapons is so difficult to learn!"
Wang Wu closed his jaw and swallowed, "Even the most powerful spirit gathering array wouldn't make such a big noise!
The old lady looked up and said, "I have lived for one hundred and twenty years, and this is something I have never heard of or seen before!"
As for the old man...
He was rubbing his eyes, wondering if he was still dreaming!
Bai Zhi slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at them with disdain——
"It's just math, physics, and chemistry. The people in your world have such a low level of education!"
