My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 31 Is This Appropriate?

Seeing Xu Mo staring at him strangely, Ji Cangsheng asked in surprise:

"Brother Xu, why do you think so highly of me?"

"Nothing." Xu Mo shook his head, without saying what he was thinking, and quickly changed the subject:
"Brother Ji, you are the current chief of the Demonic Sect, while I am just an ordinary disciple of Lingmiao Peak.

Is it appropriate for you to call me Brother Dao?"

He was indeed not quite used to the other party's address. He always felt that the other party was a particularly polite child from another family, while he was like his own naughty child who didn't know etiquette.

Wouldn't that bring shame to Lingmiao Peak?

This is not possible!

There is no small matter in sect diplomacy.

He had to reverse the other party's address.

Ji Cangsheng smiled dumbly, "What's the big deal? With your achievements, it's only natural for me to call you Brother Dao."

not to mention……"

"What's more?" Xu Mo couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Ji Cangsheng restrain his smile and look extremely serious.

Under his gaze, Ji Cangsheng said seriously:
"When you meet a disciple of the same generation, it is basic courtesy to call him Brother."

"Uh..." Xu Mo felt a little embarrassed. Is this what you want to say?

He was a little speechless and said: "What kind of truth is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

Ji Cangsheng waved his hand and said, "This is what I ask of myself. Brother Xu Dao doesn't need to worry about it."

"But I'm curious, can Brother Ji explain this?"

Ji Cangsheng lowered his head upon hearing this and replied in a low voice, "It's mainly because I met people of the same generation from other sects. I don't know when they started practicing or what their status is in the sect.

Moreover, they are from different sects, so what generation would they be if converted?
Should I call him senior brother or junior brother?
What if he is my senior brother, but I call him my junior brother, wouldn’t that be rude?

As the chief of the Demonic Sect, I represent the face of the sect.

If the sect loses its composure because of a title, wouldn't that be my fault?
Therefore, I require myself that when I meet people of the same generation from other sects, I call the male ones "Daoist Brother" and the female ones "Senior Sister".

That way, there won’t be any problems.”

Xu Mo listened to Ji Cangsheng's chattering and couldn't help but think in his heart, could this child be socially anxious?

However, even though he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it directly.

So he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Great! But Brother Ji, you are the chief of the Demon Sect after all, and it is not appropriate for me, an ordinary disciple of Ling Miao Peak, to call you junior brother.

In that case, let’s just talk about our own affairs. You call me Brother Xu Dao, and I call you Brother Ji.

That way, everyone will be polite.”

Ji Cangsheng thought for a moment, then bowed and replied, "I'll do as you say, Brother Xu."

After deciding on the name, Xu Mo couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Brother Ji, you said before that the person you admire most in your life is Elder Ouyang, right?"

Ji Cangsheng nodded, looked at Elder Ouyang with admiration in his eyes, and said slowly:
“Yes, Elder Ouyang has devoted his life to increasing the production of spiritual rice.

Even though everyone in the cultivation world was not optimistic about him, some people even mocked him behind his back.

But he still maintained his belief, worked hard and never wavered.

The technology to increase the production of spiritual rice is not only vital to the entire cultivation world, but if it is further extended to the mortal world, it can also benefit all people in the world.

Since the beginning of my practice, I have made a vow that my practice in this life is to protect the people of the world and let everyone in the world live a happy and fulfilling life.

Therefore, I admire people like Elder Ouyang the most, who can do practical things for the people of the world."

He then looked at Xu Mo and said, "Of course I am fortunate to meet Brother Xu on this trip and know about your achievements.

Brother Dao is naturally someone I admire.

And if my admiration for Elder Ouyang is because of his convictions, then my admiration for Brother Xu is because of your achievements.

I am a down-to-earth person. I admire those who do things that benefit the people of the world."

Xu Mo felt a little embarrassed by the praise. In fact, the grafting technology was developed in ancient times in the previous life.

However, because this world allows people to practice cultivation, they tend to think more from a Taoist perspective, which has led to the failure to develop the grafting technique.

Of course, he would not be so hypocritical as to say that he had no credit for bringing over the grafting technology.

However, the other party directly elevated himself to the level of all the people in the world and the heroes of the time, which made him a little dazed for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.

Every small change is an important step in the progress of history.

Of course, what surprised Xu Mo even more was Ji Cangsheng.

Although he felt it was a bit rude, Xu Mo couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Brother Ji, you are a cultivator of the magic path, but you always talk about the common people in the world. It always makes me feel a little weird, and I can't adapt to it for a while.

Or are all of you demons like this?"

Ji Cangsheng obviously didn't expect Xu Mo to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before replying:

"Brother Xu, why do you say that? Although protecting the people of the world is my personal wish.

But why does Brother Xu feel that it is weird to hear these words coming from the mouth of a cultivator of the demonic path?
Or does Brother Xu have some feelings towards demonic cultivators like me..."

"No, no, no, no."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Mo interrupted him and told him not to continue.

Although he is not particularly clear about the relationship between good and evil in this world, he thinks it should be pretty good.

He didn't want to be labeled as someone who sowed discord between good and evil.

You still have to be careful.

Then he began to explain:

“Because I’ve always been doing research, I don’t know much about other things.

Especially the demonic monks, who had never come into contact with them before, couldn't help but feel curious.

After all, you see... the word "demon" doesn't seem to give people a particularly good impression, right?"

"So that's how it is." Ji Cangsheng nodded in sudden realization.

Then he cast an admiring look at Xu Mo, "Brother Xu Dao has no other thoughts besides Dao. No wonder he can create such a great theory. It is truly admirable.

As for the magic path, perhaps Brother Xu Dao was mistaken and confused the demons in the legends of the mortal world with me, the magic cultivator.

This is normal.

Just as ordinary people have good and evil, Tao also has right and wrong.

But pure evil is only one of the great ways of heaven and earth. The only difference between it and the righteous and mysterious cultivation is in concept.

If it is evil, then whether they are righteous cultivators or demonic cultivators, they are all evil."

"So that's how it is. I was wrong." Xu Mo nodded in sudden realization.

Ji Cangsheng chuckled, but didn't care about Xu Mo's previous attitude.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Xu Mo and spoke slowly:
"I have an interesting question here, and I'd like to ask Brother Xu for your opinion. Is that okay?"

Xu Mo was slightly stunned, then cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ji, please feel free to speak."

Ji Cangsheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother Xu, what do you think, among the ancient sages of mankind, was the first cultivator to appear a righteous or evil cultivator?"
