Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 237 Yong'an City, small conflict, help

Many low-level monks, after realizing that their practice is slow and their paths are cut off, will turn their attention to demonic techniques.

Although it is very difficult to obtain general cultivation resources.

But the demon cultivator only needs the blood essence energy in the living beings.

As long as you swallow it, you can increase your cultivation.

Therefore, when faced with this kind of temptation, there are countless monks who choose to take risks.

Although becoming a demonic monk is something that is not recognized by the public.

And once their identities are exposed, they will be pursued endlessly in many places.

But on the one hand, there is no hope of practicing cultivation for a lifetime, and on the other hand, if you give it a try, you may still become a high-level monk.

The road ahead is broad.

After all, practicing this kind of thing is addictive, and you can gain more powerful power through a certain way.

Of course I'm willing to give it a try

Therefore, places like the Western Region are extremely suitable for demonic monks to survive.

It wasn't until this moment that Luo Yan understood more or less.

Why is the life and death of sect disciples so important within the sphere of influence of Five Elements Concept?

"Magic monk"

Luo Yan frowned and kept tossing the jade slips in his hands, his thoughts complicated.

He knew very well that the reason why his sect was able to do so was to be so strict.

All because of the remote geographical location and the small number of mortals, they are almost all clustered together.

And almost all the monks within the sphere of influence are from their own sect.

Because the mountains and forests in the wilderness are not like the plains, they have a wide enough area that can produce enough food to support the survival of mortals.

The place of residence is inherently restricted.

There are also countless raptors and beasts, which further restrict the reproduction of mortals.

For these reasons, within the scope of Five Elements Concept, the environment for the growth of demonic cultivators is very small.

After all, once a sect disciple is killed, the people from their Law Enforcement Hall will arrive as soon as possible.

But places like the Western Region are different.

The terrain here is flat, with few deep mountains and old forests, and no soil for ferocious beasts to inhabit.

It is most suitable for cultivating fertile land, and the number of mortals is very large.

This also resulted in the number of monks born in this land being many times that of the Southern Territory.

When the number of monks increases, the resources for cultivation will naturally be insufficient.

Most sects select disciples, only those with outstanding talents.

The remaining ones, such as the four or five miscellaneous spiritual roots, can only join some small sects with two or three big cats and kittens.

The cultivation resources that can be distributed are also very limited.

After all, the geographical location of the sect and the strength of the spiritual veins are not very good.

Only some common elixirs can be planted.

The areas filled with spiritual energy are basically occupied by their own elders.

Their cultivation level is higher and they need more spiritual energy.

There are even some wild monks who failed to join the sect and can only become casual cultivators.

Wander around various markets.

Running around for a few spiritual stones all day long.

Under such circumstances, there are naturally not a few people who choose to become demonic monks.

In fact, when Luo Yan was in Youyangfang City, he noticed that there were very few monks.

It had an aura that made him very uncomfortable.

It's like the mouth of an abyss, swallowing up everything around it.

But at that time, although he noticed something was wrong.

But he did not choose to cause trouble.

Luo Yan searched for a long time on the geographical map and finally locked on a specific geographical target.

Yong'an City!

This is a relatively large gathering place for monks, and there are even old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage guarding it.

It is far from being comparable to a remote city like Youyangfang City.

Yong'an City is located at the junction of the Western Region and the Central Region.

There is an endless mountain range between the two.

By climbing over this mountain range, you can go from the Western Region to the Central Region.

Because of this, Yong'an City is very chaotic.

Not only do monks from the Western Region gather here, but there are also monks from the Central Region who often come here.

There are even shops here opened openly and honestly by monks from the Soul Refining Sect.

This is also the reason why Luo Yan has set his next stop here.

Because he always felt that there should be some connection between the Soul Refining Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect.

More than two months later.

Luo Yan sat on the back of Linghe, and after a long flight, he finally saw part of the outline of Yong'an City.

This is a huge city entrenched on a mountain peak, with an entrance and exit running through endless mountains.

The speed of Linghe was very fast, like a meteor passing by.

It didn't take long before Yong'an City came into sight.

Just ten miles away from Yong'an City, a soft ripple spread silently.

Block the flight of the crane.

Luo Yan knew very well that this was the defense formation of Yong'an City.

Once you step into the formation, you are in a no-fly zone.

Although Luo Yan roughly understands the principle of this kind of restriction, he still can't learn it directly now.

At least he has to wait until his cultivation reaches the Golden Core stage, then he will have the opportunity to come into contact with this type of forbidden knowledge.

"This is like a larger gathering place for monks."

"Compared with this place, Youyangfang City looks like a shabby settlement."

Luo Yan put away the spiritual crane and jumped down from the air.

He turned into a stream of cyan light, stepped on the ground, and ran forward.

There were many people like him along the way, all running quickly towards the city gate on the mountain.

After a while, we arrived at the city gate.

This place is guarded by the monk guards of Yong'an City. Everyone who enters the city needs to pay an entry fee of ten spirit stones.

Luo Yan observed that many monks with low cultivation level did not pay the entry fee, but only showed an iron token.

Then he entered the city.

It seems to be some kind of identification.

Luo Yan walked slowly inside, using his consciousness to monitor the conversations around him.

Only then did I understand what those iron tokens represented.

Although Yong'an City does not belong to any sect, it is actually jointly controlled by several nearby sects.

Among them is the Soul Refining Sect!

Because of this, the monks who dare to stay here are relatively strong.

Even if he is a casual cultivator, his cultivation level is not lower than the middle stage of Qi refining.

Those iron tokens are actually equivalent to a proof of identity.

As long as you regularly accept tasks in Yong'an City, or buy a cave there, rent a shop, etc.

You can get an iron token.

Represents his identity as a resident of Yong'an City.

It is very much like a complex of sects, but it lacks cohesion.

The monks in the city are a mixed bag, and there are all kinds of monks.

There are many demonic monks here, and every one of them is vicious.

It looks very scary.

But at this moment, they are all lining up to enter the city.

Right in front of Luo Yan was a monk in black robes, his whole body exuding a cold air, as if there were countless wronged souls surrounding him.

He was surrounded by an area of ​​tens of meters, which felt like entering an ice cellar, and the temperature dropped a few points.

No one dared to get too close.

"Uncle, I'm scared!"

"Will he eat us?"

There were low voices of inquiry from the crowd.

A young man in brocade clothes who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old looked at the black-robed monk with a pale face and his eyes flashing with spiritual light.

It must have been through the spiritual eye technique blessed in advance that he saw the evil aura on the black-robed monk.

And countless resentful souls.

Only when the harmed creatures reach a certain level can they be manifested like this.

Obviously, this black-robed demon cultivator is not simple.

"Ping'er, shut up!"

"What did I tell you before you came here?"

A middle-aged man with slightly white hair on his temples and a vicissitudes of life on his face, who had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, shouted in a low voice.

His face was anxious and he was sweating profusely:

"I'm sorry, senior, children are ignorant."

"Your Majesty has a lot, don't argue with him."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took out the storage bag hanging on his body, and handed it over respectfully.

"Uncle, that is our spiritual stone."

Before the young man in brocade could finish his words, he was glared hard by the middle-aged man.

Shut it up!

The man in black robe glanced at the city defense formation above his head with his sinister eyes, then looked at the middle-aged man, but did not take the storage bag.

He just grinned and said in a dry voice:

"It's such a sloppy age, and childish words are unbridled."

"I hope he can still be like this in the future."

Seeing that the man in black robe did not accept his apology, he just said something incomprehensible.

The middle-aged man thought that he didn't want to argue with his juniors, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly:

"I'm sorry, senior, for causing you trouble."

The middle-aged man then pulled the young man in brocade clothes half-bent and bowed deeply towards the black-robed monk.

"On the way here, I reminded you many times that although Yong'an City is very peaceful, it is different from the former Imperial City."

"Let you pay attention to your words and deeds, and maintain due respect for senior monks!"

The middle-aged man pulled the young man in brocade clothes to his side and began to scold him in a low voice.

Luo Yan, who was witnessing all this, subconsciously noticed that there was a faint light on the young man in brocade clothes.

At this moment, it was drilling into the body of the young man in brocade clothes bit by bit.

There were several people who saw this scene, but they all remained silent.

They are all monks in the foundation building stage, so there is no need to add extraneous matters.

Luo Yan sensed it and found this faint light of mana, although there was no subsequent spiritual power replenishment.

But with the strength of the magic power of the monks in the foundation building stage, I am afraid that it can remain in the body of this young man in brocade for more than half a year.

This kind of high-level spiritual power will be deeply engraved in the body of the young man in brocade clothes, just like bone erosion.

If you don't find someone to dispel that aura, it will exist for a long time.

The future path of this young man in brocade clothes may be cut off due to this.

After all, with the strength of the magic power of a monk in the foundation-building stage, a random bit of spiritual power fell into the body of a young man who had just stepped onto the threshold of cultivation.

It's like adding a ladle of water to a boiling pan of oil.

The ending is a huge explosion, and people might die.

The middle-aged man's cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so he was naturally unable to detect this little hidden trick used by the monks in the foundation-building stage.

So until now, the middle-aged man thought that the black-robed monk was too lazy to argue with them.

Luo Yan didn't want to care about the black-robed monk using such cruel methods.

But when he sensed that the black-robed monk was filled with aura of blood.     Cold, dark.

Luo Yan's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a possibility.

In an instant, he changed his mind.

"Child, come."

Luo Yan waved to the young man in brocade clothes not far away. When the middle-aged man saw this scene, he hurriedly protected him:

"Senior, why do you call me nephew?"

"If Ping'er's nonsense earlier disturbed you, I will apologize to you."

Luo Yan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him lightly, without explaining.

Just stood there quietly, saying nothing.

The boy in brocade clothes hesitated for a moment, then jumped out from behind the middle-aged man and trotted over.

"Ping'er, you."

The middle-aged man wanted to stop him at this time, but he couldn't.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Luo Yan looked at the little guy who ran up to him and asked curiously.

"Big brother doesn't look like a bad person."

Hearing this, Luo Yan smiled casually.

He shot a flash of spiritual light at him, dispelling the ghostly light left by the black-robed monk.

"Okay, go back quickly."

"Don't be so reckless in the future. It's not always possible to meet kind-hearted people."

"Although you are still young, you must know that trouble comes from your mouth. Some words cannot be said in public, otherwise people will die!"

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man who hurriedly followed him narrowed his pupils, and then thought of something.

His face turned livid.

However, he did not dare to turn his head and look at the man in black robe, so he could only pull the young man in golden clothes away quickly.

He knew very well that this place might become the center of the whirlpool.

"Fellow Taoist, don't you think it's a little nosy?"

At this time, a cold voice sounded, full of chilling meaning.

"I don't think so. I'm used to being a good person and like to help others!"

"What do you care about what I do? Stop me if you can."

"Isn't it shameful to do evil things to a child?"

"Or do you want to fight? I'll accompany you!"

For the first time, Luo Yan changed his usual indifferent character and responded directly.

He showed no mercy and showed an arrogant and domineering look.

"I don't know where he came from, but he's an ignorant boy. He likes to meddle in other people's business, right?"

"Okay, great!"

The hoarse voice of the black-robed monk sounded like a pile of old firewood, very stiff.

The momentum all over his body exploded violently, stirring up the sand and rocks in the area, as if he was about to take action at any time.

In the end, the black-robed monk still did not take action.

He raised his head and glanced at the formation restriction above his head, and the fear in his eyes flashed away.

"Boy, let's wait and see!"

After saying these words, the black-robed monk walked away.

Just because private fighting is prohibited in Yong'an City.

Regardless of any reason, anyone who dares to fight privately will be killed by the city's guards.

No exceptions!

And because of the city defense formation, flight is prohibited, which can limit the speed of the monks to the minimum.

Once energy fluctuations erupt, they will be sensed by the guarding monks in Yong'an City.

Then without asking any reason, without looking at any identity, kill directly!

After thinking for a long time, the black-robed monk could only give up.

However, he and the Qing Yi Taoist in front of him had formed a relationship.

As long as this person dares to leave the city, he will definitely settle the score with him!

It is precisely because of Yong'an City's strict system and the behind-the-scenes control of the Demonic Sect.

In this special city, you can see many shops opened by demonic monks, as well as all kinds of terrifying evil cultivators, walking openly and openly in the city.

Good and evil have reached a delicate balance here.

The reason why the middle-aged man from before came here with the young man in brocade clothes.

I just want to settle in Yongan City.

The spiritual energy in Yong'an City is far from what the outside world can compare with.

Secondly, it is adjacent to the Endless Mountains, making it easier for monks to obtain resources.

In addition, the environment in the city is relatively stable and suitable for practice.

Therefore, Yong'an City attracted many casual cultivators to settle down.

As long as you don't leave the city at will, it's actually very safe here.

When he first saw this scene, Luo Yan was still stunned.

I don’t understand why the demonic monks get along so happily with the monks from various major sects.

Later, after careful observation along the way, Luo Yan almost figured out the reason.

A demonic monk, not a madman!

They are not cold-blooded and have no self-awareness!

In fact, they are normal people, no different from ordinary monks!

If we have to talk about the difference, it is their cultivation system and that of normal monks.

It's not the same system.

Normal monk practice relies on breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then feeding it back to oneself.

And then achieve the purpose of transformation.

Demonic monks are different.

Their technique is very simple, they rely on the blood essence energy of devouring living beings.

Then improve your cultivation.

In the process of a monk or a monster swallowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy will continuously nourish the body.

After a long period of spiritual energy washing, whether it is a monk or a monster, the physical body will get closer to the spiritual body.

The practice of demonic monks is very simple, which is to devour these spiritual beings in order to achieve the purpose of transforming themselves.

Although in the eyes of many people, demonic monks do all kinds of evil and harm monks, they are abominable big devils.

In fact, the magic system is indeed a system that leads directly to the great road.

It is quite similar to the way monks exhale spiritual energy.

There is no difference between the two.

Many people, because of sect policies, or their own experiences, etc.

To a certain extent, there are great misunderstandings about demonic monks.

I think he is not a normal person who kills indiscriminately.

In fact, the demonic monks are just murderous, rather than killing indiscriminately.

Their rationality is not inferior to others.

He is a monk with a very normal mind.

Not crazy!

The practice of the demonic path is a path of panic that can lead to the stage of spiritual transformation and even higher realms.

Far less unbearable than imagined.

It's just that the practice of demonic monks relies on devouring spiritual beings to improve their cultivation.

The spiritual creatures in Cangwu Realm are either monsters or sea beasts.

For these two types of creatures, ordinary ones are fine.

Once a monster reaches the second level, its intelligence will soar, and it is often accompanied by innate spells, which are very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, many demonic monks will focus on the third type of creatures.

That's the monk!

Not an ordinary mortal!

Ordinary mortals are almost of no use to demonic monks.

Because mortals cannot practice cultivation, naturally their blood will not be contaminated with spirituality.

Therefore, a true demonic monk will not be interested in mortals.

They will kill innocent people indiscriminately, and this 'innocent' is not an ordinary mortal.

But it refers to monks who can practice!

After all, compared to monsters and sea beasts, they are not only difficult to find, but they are also extremely powerful. If you are not careful, you will be in danger.

In comparison, cannibalism is the simplest.

Although the practice of a demonic monk seems to be very simple, regardless of spiritual root qualifications.

You will get started.

But there are still very few people who can truly cultivate into great demons.

In the final analysis, it is also because it is difficult to advance in this system.

Extraordinary people cannot advance at all.

They may even indulge in the desire to continuously increase their strength and become a machine that only knows how to kill.

Finally died in the fight.

Because when the demonic monk devours the blood essence of a creature, he himself will also be affected by the will of the creature during his lifetime.

Once or twice is okay, but over time, the number of times accumulates.

These scattered conscious feedbacks will affect the magic cultivation itself.

At this time, if the state of mind cultivation cannot keep up and suppress it, it is easy to lose self-awareness.

In the end, death is not far away.

It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that in fact there is a demon living in everyone's heart.

It depends on how you control Him.

In fact, there are many cultivation paths that are different from the normal cultivation system, such as those of demonic monks.

For example, in ancient times, physical enlightenment was popular for a while.

At that time, becoming an immortal was very simple, just choose a skill that specialized in cultivating the physical body.

Then continue to temper, and finally become a saint physically!

But as time goes by, the path to physical sanctification has also been washed away by the years.

It is becoming increasingly unsuitable for today’s practice.

This kind of method to sanctify the physical body, even now, does not mean that it cannot be practiced.

But it’s not suitable!

Because taking this path requires not only great perseverance and perseverance, but also huge resources to repair the physical body!

A monk who takes the physical form consumes almost ten times more resources than a monk at the same level!

Every time you advance, you even need to integrate spiritual objects that are a higher level than yourself.

In ancient times, spiritual energy was strong and there were many kinds of spiritual objects.

There are many elixirs growing in any corner of the mountain.

But as the sun and moon change, the concentration of spiritual energy becomes increasingly thinner.

The grand occasion of the past naturally no longer exists.

Without the blessing of spiritual beings, I would no longer want to take the path of physical sanctification.

It's getting harder and harder.

Over time, this 'backward' cultivation system was naturally eliminated artificially.

Although the current mainstream practice method is to breathe in natural spiritual energy and supplement it with elixirs.

But in fact, there are many systems that are different from this path.

For example, the famous Buddhist practice!

They are also different from the current mainstream practice system.

Buddhism emphasizes entering into the world and refining the mind!

That is to refine the origin of the soul and spiritual power.

They believe that only the body is immortal, but once the human soul is gone.

Even if the physical body lasts for thousands of years, what’s the point?

Even if spiritual intelligence is finally born in the physical body, will this newly born spiritual intelligence still be the same Him?

Therefore, in ancient times, when the method of sanctifying the body was rampant, Buddhism found its own path.
