She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 37 Demon Cultivator
Xie Lian's question caused the demons to fall into silence.

Even the lame Taoist who was eavesdropping frowned subconsciously.

True intention?

pride?

This Senior Xie is really a weirdo, actually talking about these things with a bunch of little demons.

After a long time, the golden monkey broke the silence with a wry smile.

"But that was decades ago... When Bai He was first captured, we were all very scared and panicked. We didn't want to see such a fate. But as the days passed, we gradually began to envy him. Perhaps being a mount wouldn't be so bad. At least there would be Taoism to practice, and there would be a backer behind us. The road ahead would be smoother."

As if he had opened up a new conversation, Hu Li sighed and said.

"It's better to be controlled by others than to hide in this small Qingping Mountain and not dare to reveal even the slightest trace."

Only then did Xie Lian fall silent.

She looked at Bai Su and asked.

"Do you think so too?"

Bai Su shook her head and said.

"I never thought of it that way before, until I met Senpai."

"Met me?"

"Yes, Senior is kind and modest, and has great magical powers. I have been waiting for such a great opportunity to meet a person like you... So, I secretly thought that I should not miss it no matter what."

"I see."

Xie Lian nodded. No wonder the proud and opinionated Bai Su would let go of her pride and be willing to be led.

It turns out that the illusion she gave to the monsters was too great!
It would not be so easy for Bai Su to get close to an ordinary master.

It was only after meeting Xie Lian that she let go of her pride and felt that she would regret it for the rest of her life if she missed him.

"If you want to blame someone, blame my charm?"

Xie Lian laughed at himself in his heart, there was nothing to be proud of, it was just that he had made a mess of things.

She did feel a little sad. Through the little white fox as a bridge, although she and Bai Su had never met, she had already developed admiration for each other.

I didn't expect this to be the case when we first met.

It's not that I'm disappointed, I just feel that Bai Su shouldn't be like this, and the monsters shouldn't look down on me like this.

In Xie Lian's opinion, they were really different from other demon tribes. They knew etiquette, knew when to advance and when to retreat, had loyalty and perseverance...

Whether it is a human or a monster, if you have such qualities, you should be successful.

Instead of losing his ambition and being willing to be someone else's lackey, even if that person is Xie Lian himself.

So she still didn't accept it, but continued to ask Bai Su.

"The little white fox said earlier that you taught the demons the truth and restrained them from eating people, right?"

Bai Su was stunned, as if she didn't understand why Xie Lian would ask this, but she still answered truthfully.

"When I was cultivating and becoming a demon, I awakened some blood inheritances, one of which clearly stated that I could not eat humans... Although it is the nature of demons to eat humans, and eating human flesh can improve one's cultivation, it can be considered a shortcut to cultivation, but human hearts are complicated, with love and hate intertwined. If I eat too many people, I will be infected by them, which will add all kinds of difficulties to my future cultivation. Moreover, if I kill too much, I will go down a path of no return. Not only will it be extremely difficult to survive the tribulation in the future, but it will also easily attract the guardians of the Tao and the demon catchers."

"Besides, eating humans as a shortcut to cultivation will also mess up your mind."

"Although I don't know the role of the mind, I still feel that it is very important. That's why I restrained them, told them to stick to their original mind, practice hard, and not eat humans."

These words not only surprised Xie Lian, but also shocked the lame Taoist priest.

"Little white snake, although you are not very advanced, your insights are quite remarkable. Did you get them from your bloodline? It seems that your ancestors are not simple. If you can go back to your ancestors, perhaps..."

The lame Taoist even developed a love for talent, and his eyes glanced at Xie Lian with suspicion.

Could it be that Senior Xie took such good care of the Qingping Mountain demon clan because he saw the potential of the White Snake?
Of course he was overthinking it, Xie Lian was no less surprised than he was.

"So all of your knowledge is inherited from your bloodline. This shows that you have great potential. How can you be willing to be controlled by others?"

The white snake sighed inwardly.

"Since you said that, I really think I have potential. But having potential and realizing it are two different things... The monsters in Qingping Mountain all recognize me as their eldest sister, but I know that I can't give them a bright future, so I dare to ask you to accept me!"

After hearing this, the monsters suddenly realized what was going on.

"Miss!"

In an instant, tears couldn't stop flowing.

So White Snake has this meaning as well.

She knew that she had great potential, so she bound her fate with the other monsters, so that she could increase her chances of being noticed by Xie Lian.

There is no need to explain this friendship.

After the demons understood, they were almost heartbroken. "What a kind and righteous white snake!"

The lame Taoist expressed his praise and even made a decision that if Xie Lian refused to accept her, he would accept the White Snake.

If we take it back and train it well, maybe it can become the guardian beast of Danxia Mountain in the future.

"You are wrong. You are wrong again. You should not belittle yourself, and you should not belittle your brothers and sisters."

Xie Lian was moved by the White Snake's kindness, but he did not approve of her behavior.

"Every living being is unique, you are like this, and so are the other demon races."

"In my opinion, you are already better than most of the demon tribes in the world. You have already made a good start and have suffered so much for so many years. Why do you want to give up?"

"I don't know the path of cultivation for the demon race, but I think it's the same as cultivating immortals. The word immortal means one person, one mountain. The process of becoming an immortal is a process of climbing to the top of a mountain!"

Xie Lian took a deep breath and said.

"You were originally on the right path, but you chose to give up because of me. Don't you think it's a pity?"

"Eating people is a shortcut, so if you don't want to eat people, isn't it also a shortcut to become my disciple?"

"When Bai He was captured, you definitely didn't want to become the second Bai He. At that time, you still had aspirations. The most difficult thing for you as a human or a demon is not anything else, but to catch up with the self that you once had high hopes for!"

These heartfelt words once again awakened my ears.

The monsters were stunned; they had never thought of this before.

Even the lame Taoist was like this, with a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Xie Lian.

"Based on what this person said, I have the urge to make friends with him... However, the City God is indeed exaggerating."

He shook his head.

The City God praised Xie Lian almost to the sky, but now it seems that he is a little disappointed.

Because he had been observing Xie Lian for a long time, eavesdropping on their conversations, and even boldly scanned him with his divine sense, but Xie Lian still did not react.

"Senior Xie, do you really think that if we persist in practicing, we will be able to see a way out?"

Bai Su was greatly shocked and asked tremblingly.

"Mortals can become immortals through hard practice, so why can't you?"

Xie Lian asked back.

"Yes, mortals can become immortals, but we are demons... Immortals are usually used to describe humans, can demons also become immortals?"

Bai Su's eyes were full of tension.

This question was not only for herself, but more like a question from the entire demon race to Xie Lian.

"Why not?"

Xie Lian chuckled and said.

"There are three thousand great ways and eight hundred side paths. When you cultivate to a high level, they all lead to the same destination. Whether it's the human race or the demon race, how can there be a difference in superiority or inferiority?"

"In my opinion, there is more than one path to spiritual practice. What kind of seeds you plant will determine what kind of flowers you will bloom."

"The immortal in my mind is definitely not an empty shell that has only power but no state of mind, and only knows how to show off its martial arts by fighting and killing. A true immortal, in addition to his own Taoism, must also have an immortal heart. If you stick to your original intention and keep going step by step, when your state of mind is perfect, you will already be an immortal! Maybe there has been no precedent of demons becoming immortals in the past, but it does not mean that you cannot take this path. Once you succeed, you will be a demon immortal!"

Fairy!!!

Bai Su couldn't describe the shock she felt at the moment. She just felt that all the entanglement, inferiority, confusion and other emotions in her heart over the past few days were swept away.

An indescribable throbbing quickly covered her whole body.

It turns out that demons can also become immortals!
It turns out that Senior Xie is so optimistic about us!

It turns out that our past persistence was not meaningless!

At this moment, she seemed to have a sudden realization, and seemed to see clearly the path she had been insisting on moving forward!
She has the highest cultivation level among all the monsters, but also has the most difficult bottleneck to break through.

Even the Thousand Character Classic written by Xie Lian did not help her to break through.

Because she has mental blocks.

But at this moment, the thoughts are clear and the Tao is established!
The bottleneck that had troubled her for many years was suddenly shattered.

Her huge snake body was covered by purple spiritual light, and below her neck, snow-white and translucent skin appeared again. Two bulges grew on both sides of the snake body, and flesh buds emerged from the bulges, turning into two snow-white arms, with slender and long fingertips also appearing.

An extraordinary charm also emerged from her...

Xie Lian, who was responsible for all this, was also in great shock.

The bronze tripod sleeping in her body began to vibrate like never before!
