I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

She held her head, feeling a bit of a headache. Her older brother was indeed intelligent, but he was a little too greedy.

However, considering that Lin Yi didn't have a skilled master to guide him, she had no choice but to take over.

“Brother, you are exceptionally intelligent and have gained insights into the Five Elements Dao. I admire you for that. However, it is extremely difficult for a person to reach the end of even one Dao in their lifetime, let alone multiple Daos. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Brother, you should make some choices soon.”

"Can't we have them all?"

Lin Yi really felt it was a pity. Was cultivation really this troublesome? What would someone with decision-making difficulties do?

"Of course not!"

Xiao Se spoke with great conviction, but fearing that Lin Yi might not understand, she suddenly thought of a common way of putting it and said, "Brother, a cultivator's comprehension of the Great Dao is like a mortal taking a wife."

You may have insights into many great principles, but you can only have one principal wife; all others can only be concubines. Among the many great principles, you can only choose one.

Lin Yi: "..."

Well, he was already having a hard time making a choice, and Xiao Se's example only made Lin Yi's situation even more difficult.

Fire is a passionate, unrestrained girl who always makes you feel warm;

Water is so soothing and gentle; its care for you needs no words to be felt.

Jin, sharp and cold, but all her indifference is only to protect you;

Wood, full of vitality, though it doesn't have any special abilities, has always been silently giving its all for you;

Earth, she can bear everything for you, and she can also protect you from everything.

These five girls can only be chosen as the main wife; the other four must be given up. Who wouldn't be heartbroken if they lost them?

What's even more outrageous is that Lin Yi initially only anthropomorphized the Five Elements, but gradually he incorporated the people around him into the characters.

hiss……

Lin Yi immediately retorted, "I think the monogamous system is very unreasonable. As long as the feelings are deep and both parties are willing, I don't think there's any problem with marrying five wives!"

Xiao Se: "..."

Brother, I never expected you to be this kind of person!

“Since ancient times, it has been a monogamous system, which is in accordance with the natural order. Brother, don’t be too greedy. If you love someone, you should be faithful to them from beginning to end. How can you be fickle, let alone five!”

When Xiao Se heard Lin Yi say he wanted to marry five women, she felt inexplicably angry, as if she had taken on the role of the principal wife while her husband was supporting four other women to be on equal footing with her.

That's ridiculous!

Seeing that Xiao Se was a little angry, Lin Yi quickly smiled and said, "Second brother, don't be angry. I didn't really mean to marry five. What I meant was that cultivation doesn't necessarily have to be bound by conventional rules."

Lin Yi had never expected Xiao Se to care so much about etiquette. He assumed she had broken a taboo and quickly tried to appease her.

Xiao Se was still a little angry, but after hearing Lin Yi's words, his anger subsided. He just stubbornly said, "Brother, you should listen to me. I've been through this before, and I won't lie to you. You can comprehend many paths, but you can only choose one to comprehend. A person's energy has its limits."

"you?"

Lin Yi looked at Xiao Se with some suspicion. He had previously thought that Xiao Se was just someone who had read a lot of books and had a lot of theoretical knowledge. After all, Xiao Se had said before that comprehending the Dao was something that one had to do to break through from the fourth rank to the third rank.

Since Xiao Se has already done it, could it be...?

"You've reached the third rank too?"

Lin Yi was somewhat shocked.

It's no wonder he didn't believe it; Xiao Se was assigned to the Jingye Division as an outsider, and the highest cultivation level among his peers was the eighth rank.

At that time, the strongest sects, large and small, around Xingsha County were only at the fourth rank.

The master of Lushan Mountain was famous far and wide, but he was only a third-rank official.

Xiao Se's act of pretending to be weak while actually being strong is really well hidden.

Seeing Lin Yi's shocked expression, Xiao Se couldn't help but feel a little smug.

She tried hard to keep a straight face and didn't laugh. She said calmly, "Since you asked, I'll just tell you the truth. Actually, I've never hidden anything from you. It's just that you've never asked me before."

I specialize in cultivating the divine soul, and I am now a Seventh-Rank Celestial Master.

Now that we've covered our strength, Xiao Se might as well lay all his cards on the table. And while we're at it, let's also talk about our farewell in three days!

Xiao Se felt a little lost, but she knew that the best option now was to leave Lin Yi before the Black Demon made a move against him.

"There's something else I haven't told my elder brother yet. Actually, I'm not some fallen royal prince. On the contrary, my father is the most powerful prince in the Great Qi Dynasty, the Prince of Liang."

Lin Yi's expression remained calm.

Now it was Xiao Se's turn to be puzzled.

Why aren't you shocked anymore?

Chapter 167 Why are your flowers different from others'?

Compared to the shock that Xiao Se's cultivation level brought to Lin Yi, Lin Yi didn't care so much about which prince's child she was.

Moreover, he saw parts related to Xiao Se in the Black Demon's memories.

He even discovered a tremendous secret.

So, the ability to see memories is really too powerful. As long as he kills enough demons and monsters, there will probably be no secrets in the world that he doesn't know.

However, seeing Xiao Se's puzzled expression, as if asking, "Why aren't you shocked?", Lin Yi quickly chimed in, "Ah, you're actually the Prince of Liang's heir? That's amazing!"

Xiao Se: "..."

Okay, let's just assume Lin Yi was too shocked and became a little dim-witted just now!

Xiao Se didn't talk much about this topic. If he seemed too concerned about this identity, it would seem like he was showing off. If he said he didn't like this identity, it would seem like he was being hypocritical.

“My father sent someone to tell me that the assassins who tried to kill me have been dealt with, and that I should return to Xingsha City as soon as possible. So, from now on, brother, be careful on your own.”

Xiao Se didn't expect that she could say these words so naturally, but after she finished speaking, she still looked at Lin Yi with considerable nervousness.

She was somewhat worried that Lin Yi would misunderstand her. On the run, she suddenly said she wanted to leave, which naturally aroused such suspicion. Moreover, not long ago, she had hinted to Lin Yi to abandon Wang Jinxuan.

Besides being afraid that Lin Yi would misunderstand, she also wanted to see in Lin Yi's eyes his reluctance to part with her.

However, Lin Yi just smiled slightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have your sister-in-law with me, so it's alright. You can go back without worry!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se felt a tightness in her chest, and her gaze towards Lin Yi became more resentful.

How could he be so calm? Didn't he feel even a little bit reluctant?

Xiao Se quickly added, "I'm leaving in three days."

It's only three days left!

Once you leave, who knows when we'll see each other again? Don't you have anything to say?

Xiao Se mentally ranted, but naturally she dared not say these words to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi read a different meaning into her gaze.

In Black Demon's memories, besides the fact that Black Demon harmed others and obtained a large number of martial arts techniques and secret arts, there was also his deal with King Liang.

He submitted to King Liang and served him, in return for King Liang's protection and assistance in helping him overcome his tribulations.

Humans are the ones favored by Heaven. It is already difficult for demons and monsters to overcome tribulations. If they have done too many evil deeds, the heavenly tribulations will become stronger.

The only way to resist a heavenly tribulation is through one's own cultivation, spells, and magical treasures. Any other method will only make the heavenly tribulation more ferocious.

However, there is one exception: using the dynasty's fortune to resist the heavenly calamity.

However, Heaven is impartial. If someone in the imperial court uses the dragon vein's fortune to help someone overcome tribulation, it is not the person undergoing tribulation who will be harmed, but the dynasty's fortune. If the dynasty's fortune is damaged, natural disasters and man-made calamities will occur one after another.

By making this deal with the Black Demon, King Liang was essentially betraying the entire Great Qi in order to seize personal gain.

In some of Hei Mo's memories, Lin Yi also saw that Xiao Se had an older brother.

But even Black Demon didn't know much about Xiao Se's brother. He only knew that the King of Liang had two sons, one in the open and one in the dark. The one in the open was the heir apparent, Xiao Se, and the one in the dark was only known to be named Xiao Jin. Black Demon had never seen that person.

Now, King Liang plans to completely transform his two sons, one in the open and one in the dark, into one son.

The plan was to kill the one who appeared to be in power, seize the opportunity to launch an armed rebellion, and then support another son to take over after the rebellion was successful.

Even knowing the ruthlessness of the imperial family, Lin Yi still felt sorry for Xiao Se after seeing all this.

This little guy is a bit pitiful!

Although he didn't quite understand why King Liang insisted on Xiao Se dying in Xingsha City, Lin Yi wouldn't stand idly by and watch them complete their plan.

He had already planned what to do next, but he noticed that Xiao Se's eyes were strange, and when he looked at him, there was a hint of sorrow in them.

Lin Yi then realized that perhaps Xiao Se wasn't entirely unaware of what was happening, but even if she had, she wouldn't have been able to resist.

My poor little brother!

Lin Yi couldn't help but comfort him, "Second brother, don't worry, I'll take care of everything here."

Xiao Se: "..."

She wasn't worried about whether things were going well here!

Well, my brother has always been so straightforward, there's no need to get angry.

Xiao Se adjusted his mindset and smiled, "Alright, brother, let's not talk about these things for now. Let's continue talking about the path of cultivation. As a third-rank Celestial Master, I can still impart some experience to you!"

"Absolutely."

Lin Yi quickly chimed in, asking, "Now that I've grasped the Daoist principles, how can I condense and absorb them?"

"Of course, the first step is to separate the primordial spirit from the body. Only the primordial spirit can absorb the Dao essence."

The Daoist essence permeates the world, and only the primordial spirit can resonate with it. However, the primordial spirit is confined to the physical body and isolated from the Daoist essence. Only by stepping out of the physical body can one come into contact with the Daoist essence.

However, the primordial spirit is inherently weak. Once it leaves the protection of the physical body, it will instantly dissipate. Therefore, the difference between the two schools lies here. One is to cultivate qi and transform it into spirit, cultivating one's own essence and qi to the point that it is enough to cover the primordial spirit with a protective membrane outside the physical body, so that the primordial spirit can naturally leave the body.

The idea of ​​the Refining Spirit school is to strengthen the primordial spirit itself, so that when it leaves the body naked, it will not be blown away by the yin wind or burned by the yang fire.

The two approaches differ, and their methods are naturally different as well, but the result is the same: both can absorb the essence of Tao and reach a higher level.

Being able to separate one's primordial spirit from the body is considered half a step into the third rank.

Xiao Se guessed that Lin Yi might not know the method of astral projection, so he explained to him: "Sink your mind into your spiritual platform, like planting seeds in the soil in spring, and the sprout will break through the soil."

Lin Yi did as instructed, pushing upwards with all his might. He soon felt the thin membrane and continued to push upwards until he finally broke through the soil.

The world perceived by the primordial spirit is completely different from the world seen by the naked eye.
