Hidden moth

Chapter 294: Cultivating the body to be immune to wind evil

He Kao spoke frankly, "The matter is very complicated, involving so many aspects that I haven't thought it through yet. But since Xiaomeng has done such a thing, the Zongfa Hall should make its crimes public."

Li Xiuyuan reminded: "Nowadays, many disciples of the Shu Sect have never heard of the Xiao League."

He Kao: "Then let's take this opportunity to tell them everything, so they can be more vigilant in the future."

Li Xiuyuan: "So, according to you, we should just disclose the truth. What's so difficult about that?"

He Kao: "Some things involve the secrets of the sect, so it's better not to let Xiaomeng know. Since we are enemies, we can't reveal all our cards.

Besides, there are some situations that are not good either. How to explain them specifically needs to be considered...

Especially since the former head of Danding Sect, Qi Nansheng, the former deacon, Yu Pingzhou, and the current deacon, Geng Yanxin, are all Xiaomeng sorcerers who infiltrated the Shu Sect. This is no ordinary scandal!

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "This isn't a scandal, this is the Shu Sect! If there's a scandal, it's their own scandal, not the Shu Sect's."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "The fact that Qi Nansheng came from the Xiao League was just an inference made by Elder Jiang, the main figure in the Zongfa Hall. He never said it explicitly, and we never pointed it out."

He Kao wondered, "Didn't Elder Jiang expose it today in the Immortal Pot Cave Heaven?"

Li Xiuyuan: "That master and disciple pair didn't make it out alive today, and I also cast a spell to temporarily cut off the senses of several other Danding Sect disciples. What happened in the Immortal Pot Cave Heaven is unknown to outsiders.

When Elder Jiang opened his mouth to reveal it, judging by the reaction of the little Danzi, it was indeed confirmed... Now that you know, don't tell anyone."

Some people, such as great cultivators, may not be able to be extorted into confessing even if they are captured alive, but that does not mean that no clues can be obtained from them. I believe that based on the words and deeds of Lord Danqiu, the clan law hall has been able to make many judgments.

He Kao asked again, "You won't even tell Elder Mei?"

Li Xiuyuan: "I will only inform Mei Guyu in person."

He Kao spread his hands and said, "It seems that the clan law hall has already made a decision. Why are you still asking me?"

Li Xiuyuan: "Can't I just test you? If you can't answer, then study hard. If you need anything in the future, you can't always rely on us old guys... Is there anything else you want?"

He Kao was in no hurry to send the man away; it was obvious he had other matters before him. He hesitated and said, "Master Li, Elder Mei temporarily entrusted the Falling Rain Divine Sword to me for safekeeping, and told me to practice sword control techniques diligently. This is the steel ruler."

Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "No wonder he was carrying a bag when he came to pick me up. It's not like he killed someone and then went back to work overtime?
It seems that the Plum Blossom Fairy thinks that your cultivation is not enough and that you can't help much when you take action, so she wants you to improve! Since you have this opportunity, you should practice swordsmanship well.

The "normal form" of the Falling Rain Sword is of course not a steel ruler but a sword, but the artifact can change with its shape, spirit and mind. In order to make it easier to carry, Mei Guyu refined it into the shape of a steel ruler.

When it came into He Kao's hands, although He Kao could barely activate it, he could not refine it and change it. It could only remain in the original shape of a steel ruler. What's more, he had not yet had the time to refine it.

When he left the house earlier, he was worried he might have lost the Falling Rain Sword in his apartment, so he still carried it with him. But carrying only a steel ruler seemed too awkward, so he also put on his bag, with the steel ruler still stuck in the side of the bag.

The magical object was hidden and no one was activating it. In addition, He Kao usually carried a similar steel ruler in his backpack, so even Li Xiuyuan did not recognize it, or did not realize it at all.

This also shows that He Kao's worries are unnecessary. Who would come to steal his steel ruler that costs 28 yuan per piece on the market? But this artifact is so important that He Kao has to be cautious.

He Kao promised not to tell anyone about Mei Guyu's attainment of the vacuum state, so he could only say this, which was also somewhat of a hint to Elder Li that Mei Guyu needed protection now.

Elder Li didn't know if he understood. Seeing that He Kao still had no intention of opening the door, he asked in confusion, "Do you have something else to say? Then hurry up and tell me. I'm in a hurry!"

He Kao: "It's like this, I was sitting and practicing tonight, and I seemed to have glimpsed the way to break through the barrier. It seems that if I take one step, I can break through to the fifth level of cultivation, but I also feel that this move will bring danger.

According to the ancient tradition, when a fourth-level cultivator breaks through to the fifth level, they will be attacked by wind evil. Wind evil refers to demons and ghosts that take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but there are no demons and ghosts in this world... What happened when you broke through to the fifth level?

Li Xiuyuan was really surprised. He looked him up and down and said, "Have you improved so quickly? I was thinking of finding a chance to give you some advice in a couple of days, but I almost didn't make it in time.

You asked me last time why there are no demons or ghosts in the world today, and I don't know the reason. But demons and ghosts can also refer to other things. You have already encountered them today. Don't Fabre and his group count?

In fact, you are already going through a tribulation, and what you need to consider is how to get through this stage safely.

Fabre had simply escaped. Who knows where he might be right now? He might suddenly appear and do something bad to you. Even if he was afraid of Elder Mei and didn't dare stay nearby, others might not know what was going on.

With the Xiaomeng operating on such a large scale, Qiyuan must have their own people lurking to assist. Furthermore, the area around Sesame Apartments is a hodgepodge of good and bad people these days, and there are undoubtedly many with ill intentions. If you take that step in your cultivation, suddenly becoming one with the universe, a state of selflessness and desirelessness, you'll be completely defenseless, triggering spiritual changes in the universe, and those with spiritual perception will experience inexplicable sensations..."

According to Li Xiuyuan's explanation, when a cultivator breaks through the fifth level, his physical, spiritual, and energetic energy resonate with the heaven and earth, which cannot be concealed.

If it were in the mountains, all sorts of mountain spirits and ghosts would be alarmed, and even if there were no mountain spirits and ghosts, there would be attacks from ferocious birds and beasts. They might not have intelligence, or even malicious intent, but were just driven by instinct to join in the fun.

But for a cultivator who is in the process of breaking through, this is a disturbance to his body and soul. Not to mention ferocious beasts, even mosquitoes, snakes and ants will be disturbed, and the process of breaking through will most likely be interrupted.

If this state is interrupted, one is likely to suffer physical and mental injuries. Even if one is not injured, fear and hesitation may leave behind mental demons, making it difficult to enter the same state again.

Sesame Apartment isn't a mountainous area, so there aren't any ferocious beasts roaming around. But there might be some ferocious birds passing by, and there are also all kinds of mosquitoes and insects. Even more troublesome are all kinds of people...

So how did the disciples of the Shu sect solve this problem? The answer is very simple: they broke through the barriers in the cave temple and had fellow disciples to protect them from being disturbed. This also shows the importance of "companion" and "ground" in cultivation.

Li Xiuyuan finally said: "The fundamental technique you are practicing is the Hidden Moth Technique. Although you can break through it elsewhere, I will give you a suggestion based on my personal experience. It is best to break through to the fifth level in this Piaocai Cave Heaven.

Now that you have gained some understanding, you can try it now. I will personally protect you."

He Kao: "I don't know how long it will take me to enter this state of meditation, and you, old man, have to hurry to show up at Qiyuan, so let's forget about it today."

Now that he knew the details, He Kao was not in a hurry. He was already busy and tired today, so it was indeed not a good time. He would try again another day after adjusting his body and mind to the best condition.

Li Xiuyuan, of course, understood that matters like this depended on one's state of mind, so he nodded and said, "Just make your own decisions. If you ever need my protection, just ask... By the way, since you have questions, why don't you ask Mei Guyu?"

He Kao: "Isn't this just in time? I haven't had time to ask her yet... I'll send you out now."

After opening the cave portal, he arrived at the Citizen Park near Sesame Apartment without being noticed. Elder Li also rented an apartment in Sesame Apartment and was staying there temporarily for the past few days.

He Kao suddenly felt relieved, as if a heavy, inexplicable pressure had been lifted off his shoulders. He was truly worried, fearing that Mei Guyu, after achieving the True Vacuum Realm, would encounter unexpected situations that he wouldn't be able to handle with his own cultivation.

Now it’s good, Elder Li is finally here.

When saying goodbye, Elder Li turned back and said something meaningful: "Xiao Kao, we cannot only see today's affairs today, otherwise tomorrow will inevitably be hasty. We must plan for the long term in order to have a long-term vision.

Elder Jiang and I gave you the Spiritual Nourishing Pendant twenty-four years ago. Even with this arrangement, you may or may not become a Hidden Moth; fate is unpredictable.

But without this arrangement, you wouldn't have become the first True Moth in a thousand years, let alone rebuilt the Hidden Moth lineage."

Li Xiuyuan turned and left. He Kao stood there for a long time, pondering what the old man meant. He probably meant that today's events had been anticipated and planned long ago, and that various arrangements had been made to cater to this situation many years ago.

If you think about it more deeply, some things are unavoidable in the long run, so you should prepare early and let it happen as much as possible in the way you guide... such as today's conflict with Xiaomeng.

Although a lot of things happened today, it was just midnight. When He Kao was walking back, he ran into a man and a woman. They looked like a couple who came out for a late-night snack.

After passing by each other, He Kao's spiritual perception was still able to sense that the two people were still paying attention to him. He used the method of controlling the weapon to quietly activate the spiritual nourishing pendant, and indeed he sensed obvious malicious intent.

What does it feel like? If you put yourself in their shoes, it’s like you really dislike someone, but at the same time you are full of fear.

He Kao wore two animal claws on his chest with a thin silk rope. One of them was the Hidden Moth's Item, and the other was the Spiritual Nourishing Spirit Pendant. It was not until today that he knew the name of this magic weapon.

The name is not important, the magical effect is the key. The Lingji Yangshen Pendant has two magical effects. "Nourishing Qi and Calming the Mind" is self-evident, and it must be worn close to the body for a long time to be effective.

However, the usefulness of "malicious detection" is not obvious before breaking through the fourth level. It is nothing more than feeling inexplicably uneasy and alert when being maliciously spied on.

But this feeling was very vague, and He Kao didn't know where the uneasiness came from.

This wonderful use is even somewhat useless in many situations, because there are many malicious intentions that you can detect yourself. For example, if the other party is doing something bad to you or has already taken action, do you still need any magic weapon to sense it?

However, after breaking through the fourth level and mastering the method of controlling weapons, it becomes very useful in such occasions. He Kao can actively use this magic weapon and can clearly detect the source of malicious intent.
