The woman wanted to beg for mercy, but Ding Guihe was so cruel that he beat her to death in just a few hits.
After beating his concubine to death with his own hands, Ding Guihe raised his head and looked at Meng Wan again with a friendly smile on his face.
"My dear Meng Wan, it's all a misunderstanding."
Meng Wan smiled slightly and said politely.
"Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just talk it out. But the seniors have taken over my place, so how do we settle this?"
"Haha, it can be said that Meng Xiaoyou and I are acquainted with each other through fighting."
Ding Guihe pondered for a moment and said sincerely.
"I was indeed the one who wronged you first. How about this? I'll give you five thousand spirit stones as an apology, to compensate you for your loss. How do you think?"
"No need for spirit stones. I have some doubts and would like to ask Senior Ding to help me. Senior Ding, please just answer a few questions."
Meng Wan said considerately.
"Okay, okay. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Ding Guihe took out the table, chairs and tea sets, brewed tea himself, and handed the teacup to Meng Wan, acting like a host.
Meng Wan asked the first question after the Heart-Eating Bug began to read her mind.
"I want to know what tribulations a cultivator will experience after establishing his foundation."
"It turns out that Young Master Meng has already started preparing for foundation building."
Ding Guihe sighed, a trace of barely perceptible jealousy flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven, and cultivating demons is even more intolerable to heaven and earth. Ordinary cultivators who are building their foundation will only endure three heavenly thunders and a mental tribulation lasting about an incense stick.
However, it will definitely be more difficult for a demon cultivator to build his foundation than for an ordinary cultivator.
Not only will they have to endure nine heavenly thunders and half an hour of inner demon tribulation, but they may also suffer from karma tribulation, five elements tribulation, physical tribulation, and many other tribulations.”
As he spoke, he showed an expression of lingering fear, obviously remembering the difficulties he had experienced when he was overcoming the tribulation.
The cultivation speed of demonic cultivators is many times faster than that of ordinary cultivators, and is not affected by their spiritual roots.
However, everything has its limits, and the difficulty for a demon cultivator to overcome the tribulation is almost three to five times that of an ordinary cultivator, or even ten times.
Meng Wan didn't show much fear when she heard this.
If she was really struck into ashes by thunder, or couldn't survive other tribulations such as the inner tribulation, the worst that could happen was that she would change her life and try again.
"According to what Senior Ding said, it is extremely difficult for demon cultivators to establish their foundation. So what should we do when we face these disasters?"
She had to put on a full show. Although Meng Wan had already learned about these things from the Heart-Eating Bug in advance, she wanted to hear Ding Guihe's opinion.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and perhaps the environment of heaven and earth has changed, and the heavenly tribulation may not be the same as before.
"Friend Meng, you've asked the right person. I put a lot of thought into building my foundation back then."
Ding Guihe smiled slightly, showing a hint of confidence.
"First is the thunder tribulation. The thunder of the demon cultivators is more ferocious, but there are still ways to deal with it.
You can look for some magical weapons that can absorb or weaken lightning. Although they can't block all the thunder, it can relieve some of the pressure.
Seeing that Meng Wan seemed to have listened carefully, Ding Guihe took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued speaking.
"The second is the inner demon tribulation. The inner demon tribulation tests your heart. Only when your heart is as calm as still water can you avoid being disturbed by the inner demon."
"He's lying! Master, his inner voice is cursing you, hoping you'll die in the calamity of the inner demon!"
As soon as Ding Guihe finished speaking, the heart-eating worm started to cry.
“People have the desire to build a foundation for the Dao with their mortal bodies. This is desire!
What bullshit is a calm mind? Only by following your inner desires and fighting against the heavens, the earth, and people can you successfully overcome the inner demonic calamity! "
Meng Wan lowered her eyelids and took note of it in her heart.
Great, no wonder he agreed so readily and was actually waiting for her here.
Ding Guihe had no idea that his thoughts were being overheard and his true ideas had been completely exposed, yet he continued to talk about it with the attitude of a person who had experienced it.
“Karma is related to your past actions.
If you do more good deeds and accumulate good karma during the process of cultivation, the power of karmic calamity will naturally weaken.
On the contrary, if one commits many evil deeds, the karmic calamity will be extremely severe."
Ding Guihe instructed with the attitude of a senior, "For us demon cultivators, this stage is the most difficult. Most demon cultivators who pass the tribulation die in this tribulation!"
Meng Wan nodded, thanked him gratefully, and continued to ask, "What about the Five Elements Tribulation?"
"The Five Elements Tribulation is related to your spiritual roots. If you can prepare some Five Elements spiritual objects in advance based on your Five Elements attributes, you might be able to alleviate the pressure to a certain extent."
"Haha, this is also wrong, Master, this kid is clearly trying to trick you.
What this guy said was a mixture of truth and lies. If it were an ordinary person, he might have really been deceived by him. Unfortunately, I, Uncle Chong, see through everything. Hehehe..."
While the heart-eating worm was laughing strangely, Ding Guihe was still talking loudly.
“As for this final physical tribulation, it tests the cultivator’s physical strength.
You can deal with it by taking some spiritual medicine that strengthens your body, or practicing some physical strengthening techniques."
Meng Wan nodded, looking like she had gained a lot.
"It's true that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. With Senior Ding's guidance, I am now 70% confident in building my foundation."
"It's good to be able to help little friend Meng."
Ding Guihe nodded with a smile, but he was sneering in his heart.
He was still 70% sure that as long as she did as he said, she would be dead for sure!
Meng Wan listened to the Heart-Eating Bug's retelling of Ding Guihe's thoughts without any emotion.
She sighed softly, a trace of worry flashing across her face.
“Unfortunately, I don’t have any five-element spiritual objects or spiritual medicines that can strengthen the body. Otherwise, I would be 90% sure that I can successfully build my foundation!
Right now, it seems there's no other way but to wait a few more months until Senior Blood Lotus Seed returns, and then I'll ask him to find some treasures for me."
Ding Guihe was shocked when he heard this.
What he said before was just to deceive the Qi Refining cultivators who had not yet established their foundation.
If this lie really reached Blood Lotus's ears, it would be exposed in minutes.
This Meng Wan must reach the foundation-building stage before the Blood Lotus Seed returns, and die in the heavenly calamity!
Otherwise, once the blood lotus seed comes back and the two facts are confirmed, I will be the one in trouble.
Thinking of this, Ding Guihe already had a plan in mind and spoke with a smile.
"Isn't it just a few Five Elements Spiritual Objects and a pill to strengthen the body? Why bother Senior Sister Blood Lotus Seed? I have them right here."
As he spoke, Ding Guihe took out a wooden box and a porcelain bottle and placed them on the table.
"Inside this wooden box is a piece of low-grade yellow earth essence. Although it's not top-notch, it's still quite rare.
And what is contained in the porcelain bottle is the Diamond Body Tempering Pill that I carefully refined, which has a miraculous effect on strengthening the body."
Ding Guihe smiled and spoke sincerely, as if he was really thinking about Meng Wan.
