Chapter 73 The Genius Cultivator Used as Cannon Fodder (Part Two) Demon Cultivation...
Demons cultivate by stealing the spiritual energy and life force of cultivators. If he succeeds, the Ye family alone has enough people to help him cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.
Nowadays, there are very few cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage in the entire cultivation world. Succubuses' methods are hard to defend against, and the cultivation world will likely suffer heavy casualties.
When Ye Xinglan looked at Lin You again, her gaze softened considerably. Seeing her frail appearance, she casually took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a drop of moonlight-like liquid, and made a complex hand seal with her fingers.
The liquid dispersed into a mist, as if carried by the wind, enveloping Lin You.
After the wind stopped, Lin You found that she had become like a real person. She could even smell the lingering smell of blood and the fragrance of grass and trees in the air.
She's regained her sense of smell!
Lin You secretly pinched herself, but she pinched too hard and immediately felt a sharp pain that made her eyes red. However, she looked at Ye Xinglan with great excitement.
She suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Ye Xinglan's arm: "Miss, you're amazing!"
Ye Xinglan coughed lightly and subtly withdrew her arm. "This is a drop of spiritual essence, which can only last for three months. You should cultivate diligently. Once you pass the threshold of cultivation, you will no longer need external aids."
"Huh? Can I cultivate in this state?" She's just an artificial system, she doesn't even have a physical form.
“In the cultivation world, even a stone can cultivate, so why can’t you?” Ye Xinglan’s words were very straightforward.
Lin You: ...That seems to make some sense.
When Ye Zhen returned carrying the iron scythe, she discovered that there was an extra... ghost in the hazy moonlight on the back mountain!
Although Lin You is already solid, Ye Zhen has at least been in this world for a year, and the aura around her is clearly not that of a living person.
Ye Zhen glanced cautiously at the person on the ground. It didn't seem to be this person; the gender didn't match. But the one on the ground was really handsome.
Having both lived in the modern world, Lin You knew what Ye Zhen was thinking from just one gesture. "I'm not that guy. He's a demon, and a big demon at that."
Ye Zhen immediately stopped lusting after that handsome man. Pretty boys are pleasing to the eye, but her life is the most important thing.
"Then I'll dig a hole now." Ye Zhen had just dug a small hole with an iron hoe when she suddenly looked at the demon again: "Why do I feel like he's still alive?"
Ye Xinglan frowned slightly, then stabbed the demon's vital points a few more times with her sword, until the area was almost riddled with holes, before stopping: "And now?"
Ye Zhen and Lin You looked at the blood-soaked demon and both shrank back, but Ye Zhen still whispered, "It seems to still be alive."
Even a Nascent Soul stage ancestor, after being ravaged like this, could only disintegrate and become a wandering immortal. This demon race doesn't seem to have that much power.
Ye Zhen glanced cautiously at Ye Xinglan's expression. Did her senior sister think she was deliberately picking a fight?
Some mysterious and profound things are more easily accepted in the cultivation world. Ye Xinglan calmly accepted the fact that she could not kill this demon, and handed the sword to Ye Zhen, saying, "You do it."
Seeing Ye Zhen's pale face, she softened her voice and comforted her, "Don't be afraid."
Holding her sword, Ye Zhen, relying on her senses, stabbed fiercely into the demon's left arm. A strange scream came from the demon's left arm, the sound shrill and piercing. Ye Zhen's hand trembled, and the sword almost fell to the ground.
Ye Xinglan reached out and took the sword, then struck Ye Zhen again at the spot where Ye Zhen had stabbed her. The scream suddenly rose in pitch, then grew weaker and weaker until it could no longer be heard.
"Senior sister, it seems he's completely dead this time." Ye Zhen looked at the demon and felt that his face wasn't as alluring as before.
"Well done!" Ye Xinglan praised, her face calm and composed, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin You glanced at the blood-soaked demon and whispered, "Just in case, let's not bury it, let's just burn it."
Ye Zhen, whose legs were already too weak to dig a hole, hurriedly nodded in agreement: "After burning it, just scatter it in the woods. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, it can even serve as fertilizer for the small trees and grass."
Ye Xinglan looked at the two of them with a strange expression. It was the first time she had ever seen people talk about "crushing bones to ashes" in such a refined and unconventional way. Were people from other worlds all so eccentric?
She waved her hand and released a burst of spiritual energy, causing the demon's corpse to burst into flames. Lin You was startled. "You can't play with fire in the woods! Be careful not to start a fire."
After he finished speaking, Lin You realized that the fire seemed to have eyes, only burning the demons' corpses, while the grass beside them didn't even wilt.
Okay, this is an unscientific world.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen couldn't help but stare at Lin You for a while, then noticed Ye Xinglan standing to the side, sword in hand, lost in thought. She leaned closer to Lin You and whispered, "Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"
The familiar code made Lin You's lips twitch, and she couldn't help but think of that stupid drug dealer that Shen Zechen had sent in.
She rejected this method of communication, complaining, "You might as well ask how many colors a traffic light has!"
Ye Zhen's eyes lit up immediately. Ignoring her weak legs, she rushed over and hugged Lin You. "Fellow villager! Fellow villager, you're in such a bad situation! Did you just arrive? How did you become a ghost? Did something go wrong during your landing and you died on the spot?!"
Lin You: ...It seems the protagonist is a game enthusiast.
In the end, Lin You managed to tear the person off her body with a bag of spicy strips and three pieces of chocolate. Seeing Ye Zhen's tearful face, Lin You gave her a bottle of cola.
Ye Xinglan was not fooled by their subtle movements. She glanced at them briefly before continuing to stare at the demon that was about to be burned to ashes.
Lin You and Ye Zhen were like students who had been daydreaming in class and then got caught by the teacher. They stood up straight and stared intently at the demon.
Mingyou is a succubus with low combat power. Although she has reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, she is still easily beaten up when fighting a demon in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Fortunately, he had a special spatial talisman, which allowed him to tear through space and escape, only to fall into the cultivator's back garden.
He initially planned to lure the cultivator in front of him to save him, and had already activated his talent skill to the maximum. However, the person was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and was completely unaffected, and immediately attacked.
Fortunately, Mingyou had a fortuitous encounter. When Ye Xinglan confirmed that he was dead and planned to bury him on the spot, he tried his best to compress his primordial spirit and hide it in the position of his left arm.
They thought everything was foolproof, but little girl in the Qi Refining stage discovered it.
If he had simply run away when he encountered Ye Xinglan, Ye Xinglan would have been absolutely unable to stop him. However, he trusted his charm too much, and the future great demon king who would bring disaster to the world was killed so easily.
After the demonic cultivator was burned to ashes and his ashes were scattered, Ye Xinglan led Lin You back.
Holding her snacks, Ye Zhen waved her paw at the two people's backs. Meeting a fellow countryman in this strange world was something to be happy about.
Especially since this fellow villager seems to have some kind of cheat code!
She peeled open a chocolate and eagerly popped it into her mouth. The familiar and nostalgic taste melted in her mouth, rich and smooth.
As she unscrewed the Coke bottle, the unique spiciness of the carbonated drink exploded in her mouth, and Ye Zhen was so moved that she almost shed tears.
Heaven knows why cultivating immortality requires fasting. I'm just a newbie in the Qi Refining stage, and I'm practically dying of hunger from eating fasting pills every day.
I wonder how much food this fellow villager brought. She also wanted to eat potato chips and drink milk tea, and it would be even better if the milk tea had coconut jelly and sago pearls.
Lin You, whose inventory was being eyed, followed Ye Xinglan back to the courtyard. Seeing that Ye Xinglan had gone to the room with the futon again, Lin You tactfully stopped at the door.
"Come in." Ye Xinglan tapped a few times against the wall, and several hidden compartments opened. She took out three jade slips and handed them to Lin You. "There are introductory cultivation techniques for spiritual bodies here. Take a look first."
Lin You took it and examined it for a while before tentatively asking, "Miss, how should I look at it?"
"Use your divine sense." Seeing that she still didn't understand, Ye Xinglan changed her words: "It's the mental link you used when you were bound to me."
"Also, don't call me 'sister,' you have to call me 'master' from now on!" Ye Xinglan instructed before continuing to meditate with her eyes closed.
"Okay, okay, Master." Lin You hugged the jade piece and obediently squatted in the corner, feeling a little sentimental about her increasingly lower seniority.
Lin You tried to use his mental link to access one of the jade slips and read a detailed introductory explanation of cultivation techniques.
She wasn't familiar with the text in the jade slip, but she easily understood its meaning and also grasped the meaning of the concepts of Qi sensation, meridians, and various acupoints throughout the body.
This is amazing! Lin You looked at the next jade slip, which was an introduction to the cultivation levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Tribulation Ascension. It was somewhat similar to the novels she had read.
She flipped to the last one, which was the cultivation method. Lin You sat cross-legged and, following the instructions, searched for the so-called Qi sensation in the meridians.
After Ye Xinglan finished practicing, she discovered that her newly accepted little disciple had sat cross-legged for the first time and his legs had gone numb so much that he couldn't stand up.
Ye Xinglan helplessly reached out and pulled her up from the corner, "...There's no need to meditate when you're looking for the Qi sensation."
Although Lin You couldn't find the Qi sensation, she was still very happy. Her legs were numb! She could clearly feel that her legs were numb!
Looking at his new apprentice, who was smiling innocently, Ye Xinglan sighed inwardly. Didn't he say he had experienced two worlds? How come he still has the same personality?
Ye Xinglan explained the questions Lin You didn't understand, then led her around the courtyard to familiarize herself with it. She pushed open the door to the east wing of the courtyard and said to Lin You:
"This will be your bedroom from now on. The south side is the study, and the north side is the quiet room for practicing martial arts. I still need to set up an array for you. You can practice in the bedroom for the time being."
"Thank you, Master!" Lin You said happily. Even if she couldn't sleep, having a bed was still very nice.
Ye Xinglan suddenly reached out and touched Lin You's head, saying in a calm tone, "Get some rest. I'll introduce you to people tomorrow."
Lin You watched her master turn and leave, then reached up and touched the top of her head. She had encountered another excellent task target, but was it her master? Was she trusting her a little too much?
After returning home, Ye Xinglan meditated for several hours until her mind was calm. Then she raised her hand and threw out a handful of copper coins. The coins jingled as they fell to the ground and spun around for a while before stopping.
She fiddled with the copper coins in one hand and kept calculating with the other. Only after she stopped doing so did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The ominous divination that had plagued the Ye family for half a month has now turned from danger to good fortune. Her newly accepted disciple is indeed the ray of hope that has broken through the Ye family's calamity.
With her worries gone, Ye Xinglan began preparing gifts for her apprentice.
The spirit sword I used back then was pretty good; it was perfect for learning beginner sword techniques. I'll equip it.
The alchemy furnace I got from my adventure a few days ago is pretty good; it's perfect for learning alchemy. I'll install it.
The weapon-refining tips given by the Second Elder were quite good and very suitable for beginners. I'll equip them.
They also found some jade slips containing formations, talismans, spells, and movement techniques suitable for beginners, as well as some spirit stones, pills, spiritual herbs, ores, and so on.
Ye Xinglan stopped only when she had filled two storage bags completely.
Lin You was unaware that her kind and beautiful master had already filled her schedule with classes, and she was staring at her system page, on the verge of tears.
The cheat abilities in the first two worlds were bizarre, but at least they were somewhat useful. But what about this time?!
Looking at the four big characters "College Entrance Examination Training," Lin You felt her head buzzing. How was she supposed to tell her immortal cultivation master to help her get 10,000 perfect scores on the college entrance examination papers?!
Lin You looked at her hands and sighed deeply, feeling that there was probably no one in the world with worse luck than her!
She lay on the bed, pulling at her hair in frustration. What should she do? Was it even necessary to tell her master about this amazing ability?
Both Chu Nanfeng and Shen Zechen repeatedly told her to make sure she told the new mission target about the cheat ability!
Lin You rolled over in a dilemma, accidentally getting herself wrapped in the blankets. The soft blankets had a pleasant scent, and the bed was so cozy that she didn't want to get up at all.
She yawned softly, her eyelids felt heavy, and a wave of weariness washed over her, so she drifted off to sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight. Lin You rubbed her eyes and sat up abruptly. She had actually fallen asleep!
Her legs go numb, she can sleep, and she has a sense of smell and touch. What about her sense of taste? Will it have recovered as well?
Lin You swallowed hard, then quickly took out a lemon candy from her spatial storage. Excitedly, she unwrapped the candy and smelled the refreshing lemon scent.
