The bonfire shone on his face, and Li Banfeng slowly opened his eyes.
The peddler's face suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at Li Banfeng with a smile that looked very concerned.
"Are you awake? Come, have a bowl of fruit juice to perk up."
Sherbet, an old drink, looks like juice, but in fact has nothing to do with juice. It is a drink made from pigments and saccharin.
This bowl is orange flavored.
Li Banfeng's mouth felt dry and bitter, so having a bowl of drink was quite nice.
Li Banfeng finished the fruit juice and when he asked about his entry into the Dao, the peddler's smile was full of sincerity: "Congratulations, young man, you have escaped the threat of Tianguang and become a cultivator, which is what other states often call a dark energy cultivator."
Why does the peddler's tone sound so strange?
There was an official tone in his voice, but the common air from before was gone.
Li Banfeng asked again: "Which sect did I enter?"
"Didn't you want to become a travel cultivator before? This wish has come true!" The peddler poured another bowl of fruit juice for Li Banfeng.
"That's good." Li Banfeng picked up the fruit juice and took a big sip. This bowl of fruit juice was pineapple flavored. The golden drink had the unique rich aroma of pineapple.
Seeing the golden color, Li Banfeng remembered the scene before he fainted. He saw golden yellow medicine powder mixed with a little blue halo.
"Is he just a traveler?" Li Banfeng looked at the peddler again.
The peddler's smile was still sincere: "You just asked another customer if he could practice two Taoist sects at the same time. I will answer this question for him. It is possible to practice two Taoist sects at the same time!"
really!
There really was a problem!
Li Banfeng asked: "Which two sects do I practice concurrently?"
The peddler hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the travel repair and the home repair."
The blue powder is travel repair.
The golden powder is for home repair.
Li Banfeng was silent for a long time, then asked, "How can I practice at home and on the road at the same time?"
There is an obvious irreconcilable contradiction between these two sects.
The peddler patiently explained, "The customer just now said that it is difficult to achieve success by practicing two different ways of Taoism. I think this idea is incorrect.
If a person practices two sects at the same level, his combat power should be stronger than that of a practitioner from only one sect.
Even if you are one level lower than the opponent, you can still use the means of the two sects to compete with the opponent.
Isn’t this an advantage? Isn’t this potential? I think the future of dual practitioners is bright!”
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I also think it is bright, so how can we practice both home cultivation and travel cultivation?"
"Let's talk about home cultivation first," the peddler patiently explained, "Due to its special nature, home cultivation can be combined with many other Taoist practices, such as peeping cultivation.
Peeping skills are good at spying and tracking. If a home-based cultivator also practices Peeping skills, he can track a person's whereabouts while sitting at home. Even if the matter is exposed, the home-based cultivator is very safe under the protection of the home spirit.
Moreover, the house spirit can enhance the ability to spy on the cultivators, chase the enemy from thousands of miles away, or even tens of thousands of miles away, and even break through the barriers.
Therefore, home cultivation is very suitable for dual cultivation."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It's very suitable. So, how can we practice both home cultivation and travel cultivation?"
The peddler continued to explain: "Let's look at the traveler. The traveler is also very suitable for dual cultivation. Let's not talk about those far away. Let's talk about Han, the shopkeeper of Baisheng Medicine Store in Yaowanggou.
Everyone in Yaowanggou knew that she was a medicine practitioner, but few people knew that Manager Han also practiced as a traveler.
He traveled thousands of miles, crossed thousands of rivers, and collected countless rare treasures before he was able to run Baisheng Medicine Store.
You say, isn't this traveler suitable for dual cultivation?"
"Suitable, very suitable," Li Banfeng agreed very much, "So, how can home cultivation and travel cultivation be combined?"
"Both home cultivation and travel cultivation are very suitable for dual cultivation. Isn't it great to put these two sects together..." The peddler's voice became smaller and smaller.
Li Banfeng asked seriously, "What's good about it?"
"Listen to me telling you..." The peddler wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, I'll listen and you edit it." Li Banfeng was still very serious.
After a few minutes of silence, a cold wind blew and sweat broke out on the peddler's forehead: "I can't make it up."
"Then what?" Sweat also broke out on Li Banfeng's forehead.
Something big happened.
The peddler forced a smile, as if to comfort Li Banfeng: "It is impossible to practice both home cultivation and travel cultivation at the same time. These two sects are natural enemies, but you can think of the good side."
"What's the benefit?"
"The good thing is that you are still alive," the peddler put away his smile. From now on, every word he said was related to Li Banfeng's life.
"Home cultivation and travel cultivation, the two sects have nothing in common, their characteristics are seriously contradictory. Logically speaking, if you use the powders of these two sects at the same time, you should die on the spot.
But the fact that you are still alive today proves that you have a special constitution. Of course, this is mainly related to the sunlight you received.”
"What exactly is Skylight?"
The peddler shook his head: "This matter is too profound, but I can't explain it to you."
"Please speak slowly, just in case I understand!" Li Banfeng must find out what happened to him.
The peddler pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know what dark matter is?"
"Of course I do."
In fact, Li Banfeng didn’t know that with the current level of human technology, no one knew what dark matter was.
But Li Banfeng is also a highly educated person, and he has heard of the term dark matter.
"Do you really know?" the peddler confirmed again.
Li Banfeng nodded: "I know, I have received higher education."
"But I don't know!" The peddler puffed out his chest, "I don't know what dark matter is, so I can't explain this clearly!"
Li Banfeng scratched the back of his head, thinking that what the peddler said was right: "Then let's not talk about dark matter for now."
The peddler continued, "The so-called light shining in the sky, in your language from other states, is called dark matter ray flow.
Dark matter is everywhere, but some dark matter is special. In Nei Jiuzhou's words, this is called Daoyuan burst.
If you use the correct method to absorb the Dao Yuan, it won't hurt your body too much, but the Dao Gate's burst is too fierce and it is not something that ordinary people can resist.
If hit by the burst, the body will explode quickly, and the remaining Dao Yuan may continue to hurt people.
So, if you want to survive, you must enter the Dao as soon as possible, and through the medicine for entering the Dao, follow a certain direction to dredge the Dao affinity in your body..."
The peddler tried to explain the mechanism of skylight in simple language, and Li Banfeng quickly understood the key points.
Dark energy users, or cultivators as they are called here, are actually extraordinary people who have mutated after special dark matter invaded their bodies.
Mutations are disorderly and most likely fatal.
The peddler's medicine can guide disordered mutations into orderly mutations.
For those who ingest dark matter in small quantities and regularly, like Ma Wu and Qin Xiaopang, the mutation will occur relatively slowly. Only when the mutation reaches a certain level can the peddler's medicine be used to guide them to become dark energy users.
Li Banfeng encountered a dark matter ray flow, and his body was eroded by a large amount of dark matter in a short period of time, posing a direct risk of exploding on the spot, so it had to be guided immediately.
There are many kinds of drugs, leading in different directions and paths, and thus bringing different extraordinary abilities.
Li Banfeng has enough dark matter in his body, so he can choose any path, and it is also possible to choose two similar paths at the same time.
But he chose two opposite paths.
But this was not chosen by Li Banfeng!
Li Banfeng's eyes widened as he asked, "Where's Qiao Yuesheng, the guy who bumped into me just now? This is all because of him..."
The peddler pointed to the straw mat beside him and asked, "Are you talking about him?"
Li Banfeng had never noticed the straw mat next to the peddler, thinking that it must be wrapped with some sundries.
Now when he pointed, it seemed that there was a person wrapped inside.
Li Banfeng was surprised: "Is this Qiao Yuesheng?"
The peddler nodded and said, "This matter was caused by him, and he has already given me enough compensation.
And you had an accident at my stall, I am also responsible, so I must also give you some compensation, this is my duty as a business,
Judging from your situation, you should have made it through the first stage of entry, but the subsequent practice will be very difficult for you.
According to the characteristics of travel cultivation, even if you don't seek to improve your cultivation, you must walk at least 20 miles every day.
According to the nature of home cultivation, you have to go home at least once a day and stay at home for at least two hours. "
Li Banfeng calculated the time and said, "This isn't that difficult!"
It’s not that difficult indeed.
If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. Twenty miles can be considered a ten-kilometer jog.
Go home and take a nap, or read a novel or watch a TV series, two hours is really relaxing.
It seems that the conflict between these two sects is not that serious.
The peddler shook his head and said, "This is the initial stage of cultivation. When you reach a higher level, the distances that the traveling cultivators have to travel are getting farther and farther, and the time that the staying cultivators spend at home is getting longer and longer. The two will soon become incompatible.
Moreover, after the travel cultivators have reached a certain level, they cannot always stay in one place, while the residence cultivators are fixed and cannot move around everywhere, so these two sects are natural enemies.
Of course, this is a matter for the future. We will think of a solution later. Right now, there is still one difficult matter. If Lu Xiu wants to pass the level and advance to the next level, he must stay in a dangerous place for a day and a night.
This is a very troublesome matter. Zhai Xiu has to go home every day. If he doesn't go home for one day, he might suddenly die. How can you live outside for a day and a night?"
Li Banfeng blinked and asked, "What do you mean by a dangerous place?"
The peddler was surprised and said, "Didn't you study? Don't you know what a dangerous place is? It's a place where you can lose your life at any time."
"How do we define this place? Sleeping in the middle of the road could result in a car running over you at any time!"
The peddler nodded and said, "This is really a good idea. You can try it in the middle of the road. If your cultivation level admits it, you can really move up to the next level!"
"Will you admit your mistakes after you've cultivated your abilities?"
"Why not? Cultivation is now a part of you. You have perception. Cultivation naturally gives you perception. Have you decided to sleep on the street?"
"I'm just talking..." Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.
Zhaixiu has to go home every day.
But what about people like me who have no home?
I don’t have a home to begin with, so which home do you want me to go back to?
Thinking of this, Li Banfeng asked directly: "I don't have a house right now, and I have no home to return to. Even if I sleep outside, it doesn't violate the rules of house repair, isn't that right?"
The peddler nodded: "That's right."
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll go to the dangerous place first, survive a day and a night, and become a first-level travel cultivator. Then I'll buy a house. Isn't this problem solved?"
The peddler shook his head: "That won't work."
"Why not?"
"This is tantamount to abandoning home cultivation. Dual cultivation requires the cultivation of both disciplines. If you give up one of them, you will lose your life."
Li Banfeng hurriedly said: "I didn't give up, I first repaired the brigade, then repaired..."
"What's the point of just talking?" The peddler interrupted Li Banfeng directly, "Cultivation is a part of your body, and your actions represent your thoughts.
You have cultivated to the first level of travel cultivation, and have made some progress, but you don't even have a suitable house, and your house cultivation has not yet been put on the right track. Isn't this the same as giving up on house cultivation?"
"Isn't that a bit far-fetched? That's not what I mean!"
The peddler shrugged and said, "It's no use telling me. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."
"Try... I can't try that," Li Banfeng fell into deep thought again, then gritted his teeth and said, "I might as well not go up a level, just wait like this for now, and think of a solution first!"
"Like him?" The peddler lifted the straw mat, revealing Qiao Yuesheng's bloody body.
To say it was a bloody mess would be an understatement; it was just a mass of minced meat.
If the peddler had not said before that this was Qiao Yuesheng, Li Banfeng would not have recognized him at all.
"How did he become like this?"
The peddler covered the mat with straw: "He is a dark power, a glutton, that is, a food cultivator;
Compared to travel cultivators, food cultivators are not particularly fast, but as long as they are full, they can run much faster than ordinary people.
According to the rules of other states, dark energy users cannot participate in sports competitions, which is considered cheating, but this kid is willing to risk it all for fame and fortune.
Dark matter cannot be observed, so no one can discover his cultivation, but he is worried that someone will discover his abnormality.
Shi Xiu had to eat five kilograms of rice every day. He was afraid of being exposed, so he dared not eat, let alone gain any level.
He kept using his physical talent, but he didn't practice in the right way. Just like you said, he wasted his time like this, and ended up like this.
You can't keep wasting time. You need to cultivate at least one of your home and travel skills to a certain level. If you delay for too long, your fate will be the same as his."
"Can we stop practicing after reaching the first level?"
"No, even if you don't want to make progress, you still can't slack off in your daily basic practice."
Li Banfeng looked at the straw mat wrapped around the corpse and asked, "When will this practice end?"
"There is no end," the peddler shook his head, "since you chose this path, you are destined to walk it for the rest of your life."
Li Banfeng looked up at the peddler and said, "Then tell me, how can I pass this test?"
The peddler looked back at Li Banfeng and said, "There are two paths. Choose one. The first path is to find a dangerous place to settle down. I will buy you a house."
