Junior sister, I really need to control you

Chapter 125 The Tribulation of Cultivation, Bloodstained Capital

One month later, early morning, in Li Yinsheng's small courtyard.

He sat cross-legged under a plum tree in the courtyard, playing with the jade slip containing his divine sense, his brows slightly furrowed.

During this month, aside from supervising his junior sister's weapon crafting and occasionally strolling around the mortal world to experience its everyday life, he spent his time studying the two cultivation techniques in the jade slip.

The "Dao Sheng Jue" technique's ability to simultaneously cultivate two cultivation methods and refine two natal magic treasures is truly heaven-defying.

Especially for True Persons who have not yet cultivated their Dharma Form, cultivation techniques and natal magic treasures are the most important foundation for condensing their Dharma Form.

Having an extra cultivation technique and a natal magic weapon will greatly enhance one's foundation and greatly benefit the condensation of one's Dharma form.

Of course, this secret technique is also extremely important for cultivators who have already condensed their Dharma form. In terms of value, it is undoubtedly higher than immortal lineages such as the Six Resolves of Withering and Flourishing and the Five Poisons True Scripture.

Otherwise, Meng You'er's fellow disciples would not have launched such a sneak attack and relentlessly pursued her.

Li Yinsheng even suspected that this secret technique was valuable even to immortals.

But after studying it for a few days, he realized that he could not possibly master this secret technique normally.

too difficult.

This is so damn hard!

This thing is not meant for human practice.

When a True Person cultivates any spell, their speed is much faster than that of a cultivator who has not yet achieved True Person status.

However, when Li Yinsheng practiced this secret technique, he could hardly move an inch, as if a snail were pulling a cart.

He estimated that mastering this secret technique would take at least several decades.

It is estimated that only those cultivators with exceptional comprehension or those who are extremely compatible with this secret technique can master it in a relatively short period of time.

For him, it would be better to focus his energy on nurturing his junior sister and then enter the cave to cultivate this secret technique when the next tribulation of cultivation occurs.

Although the tribulation of cultivation has only occurred once so far, it seems more reliable than the decades of cultivation time.

Moreover, when he practices the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword in the cave, his junior sister's mirror image will chase and slash at him.

So, if he's learning a secret cultivation method like the "Dao Sheng Jue," which is meant to aid in cultivation, then surely his junior sister's mirror image can't be chasing after him.

After temporarily setting aside the Dao Sheng Jue, he also studied the Five Poisons True Scripture.

Logically speaking, he would never touch such a demonic art that directly and seriously affects a cultivator's character, no matter how many advantages it might have.

However, this shortcoming of the Five Poisons Manual is not unavoidable.

From a rather extreme perspective, one could even say that the Five Poisons Scripture itself has no flaws; the flaw lies in the way the Five Poisons Sect practices it.

The Five Poisons Sect's cultivation method involves actively stimulating one's corresponding poisonous thoughts whenever one cultivates a specific type of poison from the Five Poisons True Scripture.

The stronger and purer the poisonous thoughts that are aroused, the faster one will cultivate the corresponding poison.

If the poisonous intent is extreme enough, it can even increase the cultivation speed to several times the original speed.

Even cultivators practicing other techniques might not be able to catch up, even if they take drugs.

However, by cultivating in this way, the poisonous thoughts become integrated with one's cultivation level and foundation. Therefore, the higher one's cultivation level, the deeper one is affected by the poisonous thoughts, and one's mind will be controlled by the poison one cultivates.

However, the Five Poisons Scripture is essentially a reverse practice of Buddhist scriptures, and its foundation is still Buddhist scriptures.

Conversely, one can consciously eliminate related harmful thoughts during cultivation and simply cultivate step by step on one's own.

Therefore, the Five Poisons Scripture will not only not affect cultivators, but will also help them resist the corresponding poisonous thoughts.

The Five Poisons True Scripture cultivated in this way is even superior to the Five Poisons True Scripture cultivated in a faster way in terms of the quality and quantity of its magical power.

The only minor drawback is that this method of cultivating the Five Poisons Scripture will greatly reduce the cultivation speed.

Even a prodigy like Meng You'er would have found it difficult to reach the True Person realm if she had started cultivating the Five Poisons True Scripture normally from the beginning.

If it were any normal cultivator, without relying on poisonous thoughts to cultivate the Five Poisons True Scripture, they would never be able to become a True Person in this lifetime.

As for eliminating poisonous thoughts, but relying on rare and precious materials to enhance cultivation and exploit bugs...

It's not like no one has tried it out of wild ideas; the result is that at least 80% of the efficacy of these rare and precious materials is wasted.

In a sense, this is the most fatal flaw of the normal path of cultivation.

Once you choose normal cultivation, you can no longer use rare and precious materials to improve your cultivation level. You can only rely on your own hard work and step-by-step cultivation. The future is a darkness that you can see the end of at a glance.

Therefore, for members of the Five Poisons Sect, the Five Poisons True Scripture does not actually have a normal cultivation path.

No one who chooses this path is without regret; almost all of them will give up in time and switch to cultivating with poisonous thoughts.

But after careful consideration, Li Yinsheng realized that this shortcoming was not only not a shortcoming for him, but seemed to be...

advantage?

The rewards given by the grotto are fixed, and the number of years specified is fixed. The cultivation level required to receive the rewards will not be reduced if the cultivation method is slow.

For example, one reward is fifty years of cultivation. He cultivates the Sixfold Path of Withering and Flourishing, and the actual years of cultivation in the cave should be twenty or thirty years. After having fifty years of cultivation, he is kicked out of the cave.

If one were to cultivate the Five Poisons Scripture normally, they would still be kicked out after fifty years of cultivation.

However, the actual time spent cultivating will increase significantly, possibly from twenty or thirty years to fifty or sixty years or even more.

Although this would mean he would spend a longer time in prison, it would greatly increase the time he had to refine magical treasures, condense moon dew, and cultivate the Three Yang Spiritual Fire.

In fact, he had considered this issue when he was cultivating.

If he intentionally slows down his cultivation speed, for example, by halving it, then what would normally take twenty or thirty years to complete his cultivation and leave could become fifty or sixty years.

Although the cultivation level gained in this way did not increase, it greatly benefited the magic treasures, moon dew, and the Three Yang Spiritual Fire.

However, the cave didn't allow him to exploit this bug, so he could only cultivate normally.

If he intends to slow down, then after a short while, Jinzi will warn him not to slack off, or he will be kicked out of the cave.

So he had no choice but to give up on the idea.

But the Five Poisons Manual showed him another possibility.

If my cultivation is this slow because of the cultivation method, and it will take a very long time for me to reach the level that matches this reward, then the grotto-heaven can't say that I'm slacking off and kick me out early, right?

Wouldn't that be a way to indirectly fleece Dongtian?

I gained the same amount of cultivation, but I have more time to do other things. It's a huge win!

Of course, the cost is that the time spent in prison will be doubled accordingly, and the level of torture each time will also be greatly increased.

The dew and fire he earned were actually the result of his own hard work.

Therefore, Li Yinsheng himself was somewhat hesitant.

The fact that it would increase his time in prison and make him more tormented is only a secondary reason; the main reason is that this is a demonic art.

Although the Five Poisons True Scripture has many advantages and is indeed more powerful than the Six Liberations of Withering and Flourishing, it is ultimately a demonic art. As a righteous cultivator, it would be difficult for him to explain to his lineage that he should focus on this.

Although the Six Explanations of Withering and Flourishing are not a lineage of transmission, they are at least very legitimate, so no one can say anything about them.

Replace it with the Five Poisons Scripture...

Meng You'er herself said that the Five Poisons Sect was so infamous in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that everyone who saw it would curse it as a heretical sect.

Unless one first masters the Dao Sheng Jue and then cultivates the Five Poisons True Scripture, one should still present oneself to others using the Six Dissolutions of Withering and Flourishing.

Of course, even if he wanted to switch to another major right now, he couldn't.

The Five Poisons Scripture is, after all, derived from Buddhist scriptures, and is also profound and obscure. Although it is far less exaggerated than the Dao Sheng Jue, it is by no means easy to understand.

He estimated that it would take him a long time just to understand this technique.

This month of research only allowed him to understand less than 30% of it.

He would absolutely not dare to attempt even the slightest attempt at this kind of demonic skill without thoroughly understanding it.

Moreover, even if you understand it in your mind, it's not that easy to actually master it.

At this point, further consideration is needed. For now, he only intends to continue studying the Five Poisons Scripture and will not touch it for the time being.

"Senior brother! Senior brother!"

Mu Xiaoyu's voice came from the neighboring courtyard and she walked towards it.

Li Yinsheng put away the jade slip and looked at the wall. Mu Xiaoyu jumped over the wall and came over, then ran towards him impatiently.

"Why didn't you use the door there?" Li Yinsheng was somewhat amused and exasperated. "What kind of princess would climb over the wall in her own home?"

"Hehe, I can't wait!"

Mu Xiaoyu ran to Li Yinsheng's side, grabbed his sleeve with one hand and his hand with the other, and shook him, saying, "I want to go to the Loose Cultivator Exchange Meeting!"

After learning about the existence of the Loose Cultivator Exchange Meeting from Changchunzi, Li Yinsheng asked Mu Xiaoyu if she wanted to go together.

As a result, she stubbornly waited for a whole month.

"Alright, alright, tomorrow is the exchange meeting. Let's invite our young friend Changchunzi and set off together," Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

Although the exchange meeting is scheduled to begin tomorrow, cultivators from various places have already arrived in the capital several days ago, or even earlier.

So you can join in the fun if you go now.

In fact, if it were just Changchunzi alone, he would have already set off long ago.

The Great Yong Dynasty was vast, and Yanzhou and the capital were far apart, so even cultivators had to spend some time traveling.

However, Li Yinsheng was not in a hurry, nor did he dare to urge him.

……

In the heart of the capital city of the Great Yong Dynasty, a street that is usually quite deserted is now filled with many strange people.

A eccentric old Taoist priest holding a compass.

A burly man carrying a massive hammer.

A girl surrounded by seven or eight snow-white fierce dogs.

Groups of two or three cultivators, their waists adorned with various grotesque instruments of torture, their faces grim and sinister...

Among the strange people on the street, the trio of an old man, a young man, and a teenager seemed perfectly normal.

"This place is called 'Treasure Appraisal Street,' and it belongs to a highly skilled rogue cultivator from the capital. He usually rents it out to ordinary people, but he will suspend the rental during the exchange meeting and use his magic to ensure that ordinary people in the surrounding area will not get lost and wander in by mistake."
