My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 32 Half a Year Has Arrived
Xu Mo was slightly startled when he heard this, "Isn't this recorded in history books?"

Ji Cangsheng shook his head, "There is no record."

Xu Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I really can't say it.

Brother Ji, you asked this question, I think you have your own opinion, right? I wonder why Brother Ji thinks so?

Ji Cangsheng laughed dumbly, shook his head and said:
"Brother Xu's words are quite cunning, but never mind.

Since you, Brother Xu Dao, have said so, I will venture to express my opinion."

Xu Mo clasped his fists and said, "I'm all ears."

Ji Cangsheng thought for a moment and spoke slowly:
“We all knew at the beginning of our cultivation that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be absorbed directly because it contains the laws of heaven and earth.

This is the first step in cultivation, laying the foundation.

Only after building the foundation of Taoism and transforming the human body into a spiritual body suitable for cultivation can one officially begin cultivation.

If so, what was the mood in the ancestors of mankind that made them resolutely absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become a cultivator, regardless of the risk of exploding and dying?

"Oh?" Xu Mo's curiosity was immediately aroused.

Ji Cangsheng saw Xu Mo's expression and laughed, then continued:

“As the saying goes, one cannot live without madness.

People who are possessed by demons are crazy because of the obsession in their hearts.

They often try to protect the one they love but are unable to do so, and go to extremes in despair.

It is precisely because there is something in my heart that I strongly protect that I have the determination to abandon everything.

Risking his body exploding and dying, he resolutely absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, and luckily survived in the end.

He became the first cultivator in the world.

Of course, this is just my humble opinion and should not be taken seriously.”

Xu Mo replied thoughtfully, "Brother Ji's perspective is quite peculiar, perhaps it's just as you said.

In that case, the demonic cultivators are indeed worthy of admiration. Perhaps I can make more friends with them in the future."

Xu Mo was just saying it casually, to make up for his previous doubts about the magic path.

But he never expected that after hearing his words, Ji Cangsheng shook his head and warned in a serious tone:

"I don't recommend Brother Xu to do this."

"Why is this?" Xu Mo was puzzled.

Seeing this, Ji Cangsheng patiently explained:
“Most of the cultivation methods practiced by demonic cultivators take an extreme approach.

Perhaps at the beginning of entering the path of evil, there is no difference between them and ordinary people, or there are obsessions and things they love and want to protect in their hearts.

However, as the level of cultivation becomes higher and higher, some negative emotions will gradually magnify and emotions will become indifferent.

Apart from the one you love in your heart, you don't care about anything else in the world.

In serious cases, even the original intention of protecting something may be forgotten.

Of course, this is just a general statement, and the specific situation depends on the person.

There are also many demonic monks who are not controlled by the skills and are the same as ordinary people.

As time goes by, many righteous monks will lose their emotions and become indifferent to all living beings and everything.

It can only be said that those who take extreme paths are more likely to become like this."

Xu Mo nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ji. I can save myself the trouble now."

Then he joked: "But someone like Brother Ji, who cares about the people of the world, should be worthy of close friendship."

Ji Cangsheng narrowed his eyes, a strange smile appeared on his face and said:

"Brother Xu Dao, you must know that universal love means being heartless.

Anyone who may endanger the people of the world, I will eliminate them without hesitation.

Even if that person is the one closest to me.

So, do you understand, Brother Dao?"

Xu Mo looked at Ji Cangsheng's indifferent eyes, and felt a chill on his back and shuddered all over.

But he quickly adjusted himself and continued:

"In that case, I can definitely become good friends with you, Brother Ji.

After all, Brother Ji, you just said that I did something beneficial to the people of the world."

Ji Cangsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Indeed, it is my honor to be friends with Brother Xu."

…………

With the arrival of Old Man Wanmo, the grafting experiment soon resumed.

Because Xu Mo and Elder Ouyang had already done experiments on first and second grade spiritual plants earlier.

This experiment started directly with the third-grade spiritual plants. Generally speaking, whether a new theory can be feasible in the cultivation world depends most importantly on whether it works on the third-grade spiritual plants.

Because the third-grade spiritual plant is a watershed.

Although the first and second grades are called spiritual plants, they have not completely escaped the scope of ordinary products.

Only those of the third grade or above can truly be considered spiritual plants.

Therefore, to define the theory of cultivation, it is basically enough to conduct three-level experiments.

As for higher goals, although we will continue to work on them, it will take too long.

After all, the higher the grade of the spiritual plant, the longer its growth and maturity cycle.

Even a third-grade spiritual plant would take at least ten years to mature.

The longest one will take dozens or even hundreds of years.

The ones Xu Mo and his team chose were all those with a growth cycle of less than a hundred years.

When a person is immersed in his own things, time always passes by very quickly.

Xu Mo felt like half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Then, with a stern face, the old man Wanmo put his hand on his shoulder and said to him seriously:

"The six-month period has come to an end, young man, it's time for you to start your Shennong journey."

His brain froze for a while before he realized that it was time for the Shennong Conference to begin.

Xu Mo didn't know how to complain in his heart. He could only say that this old man Wanmo was too good at it. Could this be a case of a second-year syndrome?
Demonic technique? That's it?
What made him even more speechless was that he glanced at Elder Ouyang and found that he was also nodding at him.

It seemed that he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Old Man Wanmo said.

In an instant, Xu Mo understood.

Okay, okay, no wonder you two can get along well.

I just didn't expect that I had never noticed that there was such a side hidden under Elder Ouyang's fierce face.

I really misjudged you.

After greeting the two of them, Xu Mo left the experimental field and prepared to attend the Shennong Conference.

But there was one thing that surprised him.

I originally thought that my road to the Shennong Conference would be from the Continental Championship to the Domain Championship, and finally to the World Championship, crushing my way all the way.

As a result, Elder Ouyang and others just told him that he didn't need to participate in the Taixuanzhou preliminaries at all.

Lingmiao Peak of Tianxuan Sect recommended it in the name of the sect, and Elder Ouyang and Elder Wanmo recommended it in their personal capacity.

He directly skipped the Taixuanzhou preliminaries and, together with the top ten in the preliminary round, represented Taixuanzhou in the Eastern Dao Domain Competition.

After hearing the news, Xu Mo was stunned. How could it be like this?

The old man Wanmo waved his hand indifferently and said as a matter of course:
"This is meant to increase your qualifications. If that's the case, then you naturally have to utilize the rules to the fullest extent.

It's such a waste of time to participate in the preliminary round with your level.

This is why I can't directly appoint you. Otherwise, it would be much easier if I just announced you as Shennong."

When Xu Mo heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Although what you said makes sense.

But after hearing what you said, I want to just boycott the game!
Are you sure that this Shennong Conference can increase my qualifications instead of discrediting me?

Originally, Xu Mo would not have thought so because Elder Ouyang nodded in agreement.

But after seeing that Elder Ouyang could play with Old Man Wanmo, he suddenly felt that Elder Ouyang was not so reliable after all.

After all, birds of a feather flock together. Birds of a feather flock together.

With a seemingly unreliable friend like Wanmo Elder, then Elder Ouyang...

Hey, forget it.

Xu Mo shook his head vigorously, decisively stopping himself from continuing to associate it.

He felt that it was a bit rude to think so.

As soon as he came out of the experimental field, Xu Mo saw seven disciples waiting there in front.

As soon as they saw him, they came up to him excitedly.

"Junior Brother Xu, you are finally here?" said a sturdy young disciple in the lead.

Xu Mo was slightly stunned, then bowed and asked, "Are you brothers and sisters waiting for me?"

The disciple nodded, "Yes, Junior Brother, aren't you going to attend the Shennong Conference?
We are your family and friends, and we are going with you."

"What?" Xu Mo widened his eyes in shock and shouted in disbelief.
