006 Stormy Sea
The cultivation of demon cultivators is different from Taoist cultivation, demon cultivation or Buddha cultivation, because these three types are human cultivators, while demon cultivators cultivate objects into human form.
There are generally three ways of practicing demon cultivators. One is to directly absorb the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth. This method is the simplest. Zhan Jiu used this method before. But equally, this is also the stupidest method. There is no big difference in practicing in this method before the Qi Refining Period, but the more it is, the more obvious its disadvantages are. Because the more you improve your cultivation, the greater the demand for spiritual energy, which will increase dozens of times. The speed of directly absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is too slow. If you use this method, you will never break through the late Qi Refining Period and enter the Golden Elixir Period for a thousand years.
The second method is to practice exercises, an authentic demon cultivator. If the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is compared to water, then the practice exercises are to use a water pump to pump it directly, and it is like holding it in your hand. The difference is naturally self-evident. Moreover, a martial art not only has ways to practice and increase cultivation, but also has various powerful magics that can exert the power of destroying the world. There is no doubt that practicing exercises is the path to demon cultivation. In fact, for every monk, a martial art is indispensable.
But unfortunately, although Zhan Jiu had the late stage of the Golden Pill before, he practiced the serious Taoist practice and knew nothing about demon cultivation techniques. If he didn't want to open his mouth and swallow it as quickly as before, he could only use the last method.
The last method is actually a compromise method, swallowing flesh and blood!
The so-called world and everything has spirituality. This is not the nonsense of poor Confucian scholars, but it is true. If the world is filled with free spiritual energy, all things that live between heaven and earth will instinctively absorb spiritual energy into their bodies without realizing it. This is also the reason why the demon cultivator appears.
Because of not knowing how to practice and solidify, most of the spiritual energy absorbed into the body is often lost, but a small part remains in the body and is completely dissolved in the flesh and blood. As a result, as time goes by, the strength accumulated in the body will increase, and its concentration is far greater than that of the outside world.
By directly devouring the flesh and blood of other creatures, you can take the spiritual energy accumulated in the other party’s body for yourself!
Generally speaking, unless it is some natural alien species, the older the average creature, the more spiritual energy it contains in its body, the more benefits it will be for swallowing their flesh and blood. And if some demon cultivators have a certain level of cultivation, the greater the gain. And the body of the demon cultivator can no longer be called ordinary flesh and blood, but spiritual bodies!
In fact, the method of swallowing flesh and blood is not only unique to demon cultivators, but also various cultivators have similar cultivation methods. For example, refining other people's golden elixir Nascent Souls, which is a kind of swallowing with a higher level. The devouring flesh and blood and spirits is only relatively more barbaric and direct.
Zhan Jiu does not have any magical skills in his hands. If he wants to make a breakthrough, he can only take the path of swallowing flesh and blood. Fortunately, it is on the edge of the Storm Sea, with rich marine products and enough creatures to swallow themselves.
Since entering the early stage of Qi Refining, Zhan Jiu left the original mud pond and entered the Storm Sea directly. He built a simple cave a hundred miles away from the coast. He went out to hunt some sea creatures during the day. He returned to the cave at night, combining the absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to stabilize his own cultivation, while digesting the spiritual energy from blood food and turning it into its own use.
In a blink of an eye, Zhan Jiu had been to the Storm Sea for three months. Today, as usual, after a night of cultivation and stability, he went out to hunt blood food again.
Stepping on the fine waves in the sea and carefully avoiding some undercurrents, Zhan Jiu slowly moved forward in the clear seabed in a human form. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness spread nearly a hundred miles to search for prey. Although Zhan Jiu only had the cultivation level of the early stage of Qi Refining, he was in the late stage of the Jindan period before, and his true essence and magic power were completely lost, but his spiritual consciousness was preserved intact. Therefore, with his current strength, he can reach such a large search range, and this advantage also brought great convenience to him to hunt.
For three months, Zhan Jiu was able to swallow groups of fish, shrimps, or some large sea beasts every day. The spiritual power obtained from it made his cultivation gradually deepen and he had completely stabilized his early stage of Qi Refining.
But uncontrollable predation also brought bad consequences to Zhan Jiu, that is, the prey is becoming increasingly rare. In recent days, he has been unable to swallow it until it is completely saturated as usual, and often uses some small fish and shrimp to charge. Today, it is even more weird. After half a day, he hasn't even encountered a turtle.
It seems that the prey nearby has been hunted by him and must walk into the deep sea, Zhan Jiu thought to himself.
This is the storm sea of storm, which is famous in the cultivation world. It is one of the three major demon realms alongside the Great Prehistoric and Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. There are many hidden demon cultivators, and the deeper they go, the more dangerous they are. Zhan Jiu is naturally very clear about this, but out of his urgent desire for power, he had to take this step.
Zhan Jiu moved slowly, and soon he had already penetrated deeper into the depths of three hundred miles from the shore base. At first, he was extremely cautious, and his spiritual consciousness also shrank to a range of fifty miles to avoid violating the territory of some powerful demon cultivators.
Gradually, when there were more and more large fish and old turtles over a hundred years old, he couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately started hunting heavily, and at the same time, no danger occurred as time went by, and he began to gradually relax his vigilance.
"Bold! Where did you come from the young boy?"
Just as Zhan Jiu was catching excitement, he had just opened his mouth and swallowed a group of sea fishes, and a sudden shout came from the front. Immediately afterwards, two demon cultivators with thin and short bodies, black faces as mud as the seabed, and two fish beards floating on their lower lips.
"Oh no, I'm careless." Seeing these two demon cultivators acting like they were trying to provoke a rioter, Zhan Jiu understood that he might have accidentally entered someone else's territory.
As for this little demon, he must have transformed in a hurry and random manner, and he can only be the characters of some minions. At this time, Zhan Jiu also realized that the two demon cultivators were the same as himself, and they were just in the early stage of Qi refining.
"It must be resolved as soon as possible to leave here!" Zhan Jiu secretly had murderous intent.
"Where did you come from? You dare to go to our Unicorn Cave to hunt blood food. You are really impatient to live!" The two little demons pointed at Zhan Jiu with a short cross and shouted, looking arrogant.
"Oh, it turns out they are two fellow Taoists from the Unicorn Cave. They are just a casual cultivator. They don't understand the rules after they first became humans. They accidentally stepped into the precious land. I hope they will forgive their sins." Zhan Jiu smiled and bowed, but he was thinking about the name Unicorn Cave.
"Well, boy can speak. I'm very helpful to you, Grandpa I, haha~~" One of the little demons nodded pretending, and then he laughed strangely.
"Those two fellow Taoists, can you let me go now?" Zhan Jiu said with a smile.
"Leave? Haha..." The two little monsters looked at each other, but laughed at the same time.
"It seems that you really don't understand the rules." Hei Yi looked at Zhan Jiu with deep meaning and said with a smile.
"Rules?" Zhan Jiu was stunned, but he laughed in his heart. Could it be that he was asking for bribes?
"No, when you reach the territory of Heiyi and Hei Er, why don't you leave if you don't leave some filial piety?" Another little demon named Hei Er said deliberately with a dark face.
"Oh, so that's the case. Of course, we can't let the two fellow Taoists suffer a loss!" Zhan Jiu pretended to realize it, and then began to touch it in his arms.
Seeing Zhan Jiu taking out the things, the two little monsters couldn't help but lit their eyes. They could naturally see that Zhan Jiu was just in the early stage of refining Qi like them, and they didn't expect anything to be on him. What they originally planned was to kill people and swallow spirits. But they didn't expect that this delicate boy had really good things on his body. Since that's the case, he naturally cheated out the things first and then...killed them!
But after taking a long time, Zhan Jiu almost searched his body, but he still took out nothing.
"Hurry up!" The two little demons were afraid that other patrol demons in the cave would come here to get a share of the pie, so they couldn't help but urge Zhan Jiu in a hurry, and at the same time they couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"Oh! I remembered it. I was afraid of losing the baby, so I didn't take it with me, but swallowed it in my belly!" Zhan Jiu suddenly slapped his forehead and said.
"Then you spit it out quickly!" Seeing that Zhan Jiu had opened his mouth, the two little demons couldn't help but feel excited. At the same time, they were curious and couldn't help but come forward again to see what was going on.
