Whose heretical cultivator relies on a rich woman to attain enlightenment?

"The evil spirit is currently the only power I can absorb, and it can also improve the quality of my spiritual root..."

Lu Cheng, who was cultivating, was deep in thought.

As his cultivation time increased, he could feel his foundation becoming more and more solid. In addition, after absorbing the spiritual roots and demonic energy of the Refining Void Child and the Ghost Cultivator during the rainy night, he now had the potential to break through to the second realm.

However, he is still pondering the mysteries of his body. It's not that his body can only absorb demonic filth; according to Lu Cheng's analysis, it's simply that he's picky about what he eats.

In layman's terms, low-level demonic energy is beneath my spiritual roots. Therefore, no matter what kind of power I absorb, it must be pure enough to qualify for absorption.

Things have been peaceful these past few days. Ever since Susu coerced him into taking her around Jingnan City, the woman has kept her promise and hasn't bothered him.

Life remained the same as before. Every three days, he would go to Zhennanguan to dispose of corpses. In the early morning, he would cultivate at home, practice various Taoist arts and sword control techniques in the morning, and in the afternoon, he would go to the Demon Suppression Bureau. If there was no work assigned to him, he would go to a brothel to listen to a song, flirt with rich women, and trick them into taking some Qi-inducing pills.

At least his life won't be affected by those rumors.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, his upper body completely naked, exposing his strong muscles. He had been trying to condense spiritual liquid repeatedly for the past few days, but he still couldn't find the secret.

He searched through the memories of the other people, because two of them were evil cultivators, whose paths were completely different from his own, and the methods of the other two were impossible to imitate, as their elders in their families used pills to help them break through their cultivation levels.

To put it bluntly, this is no longer about giving you the answer to copy; it's about directly changing your grade, eliminating the need for you to even copy it.

How the hell am I supposed to learn this?

According to Han Guang, if one takes the pill after gaining some understanding, it can indeed save a lot of trouble. Taking it directly and roughly may break through the realm, but it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future. It is the same as skipping grades to learn equations without understanding addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Moreover, according to the cultivation guide, everyone's understanding of condensing spiritual liquid is slightly different, and there is no universal solution.

"That fox spirit's words are very important. If I cultivate according to my fellow villager's method, I definitely won't go astray. If you ask who understands my fellow villager best... Hanguang?"

The thought that flashed through my mind was immediately extinguished.

Lu Cheng now naturally refers to the extraterrestrial demons as his fellow countrymen. Although he doesn't have a good impression of these fellow countrymen, at least they are from his own family, and he can at least refer to their cultivation methods.

Judging from the hateful tone in which Han Guang mentioned the extraterrestrial demons, it's not hard to guess that the reason she became a fallen fairy was probably because of her fellow villager. But if she were to ask the question herself, it would be an admission of guilt.

Frustrated and scratching his head, based on the keywords Susu provided, it wasn't hard to deduce that the fellow villager was practicing a cultivation method that combined the four elements of demon, evil, monster, and ghost.

In other words, one can accelerate cultivation by absorbing sufficiently pure evil energy, ghost energy, or even demonic energy?

Suddenly, my eyes lit up.

He didn't necessarily want to follow the path of evil cultivation to the bitter end; rather, he simply had no other choice.

I and that fellow villager are from the same lineage, and our physiques are probably very similar. Moreover, the reason I was able to cultivate was because these so-called "demonic energies" illuminated my spiritual roots, which gave me the qualification to cultivate. Otherwise, I would have been stuck in the same place forever.

Besides, I don't use these crooked methods to do bad things...

At least not now.

"Don't think about those things for now. Let's try again. Breaking through to the second realm is more important right now."

It's easy to see the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with his underlings. After meeting Su Su and Ji Xiaoxiao, he understood this principle. Many times, those in power and those in high positions will not take the initiative to make things difficult for you. Given their social status, no one will bother with you. The real trouble is that group of ordinary cultivators who take a trivial matter too seriously.

Just like Lianxuzi, according to the memories he saw, it was nothing more than the corpse refining method mentioned by that "Demon Lord", and he also mentioned that he had to find a way to break through Jingnan and force Ji Xiaoxiao out of her seclusion.

Then they came up with this insidious method.

If one successfully reaches the second realm, one will at least have the ability to protect oneself. Most cultivation techniques and Dao methods can only be formally studied after reaching the second realm, because pure spiritual energy simply cannot support such high-intensity use. It must be liquefied or solidified before it can exert its due power.

He has already absorbed a lot of souls and memories, and he can master all the unique skills of these cultivators without a teacher. He can also use the things that Lianxuzi and ghost cultivators possess.

That's right, Lu Cheng stripped these two evil cultivators naked, including the Five Directions Soul-Summoning Flag, the Soul-Guiding Lamp, and the Ghost Mask Mirror. He even tucked the Yin-Yang Sword into his belt and brought it back with him.

He now possesses all the necessary magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and Taoist arts, lacking only the cultivation level.

Take a deep breath.

The spiritual energy stored in the dantian surged continuously. Breaking through to the second realm is the process of liquefying the gaseous state. This stage is called condensation. As long as all the spiritual energy can be liquefied, it means that you have reached the second realm.

The spiritual energy circulated rapidly, flowing in from the left and out from the right. Under the high-speed circulation, the spiritual energy began to become viscous, and even when it separated, it showed slight signs of being drawn into strands. However, no matter how he tried to make the spiritual energy circulate in his body, he could not achieve the effect he wanted.

"No, no, this shouldn't be like this, let me think..."

He began to search his mind for memories of his past life.

Based on the knowledge I learned in my previous life, there are generally two ways to liquefy a gas. One is the more common low-temperature liquefaction, such as water vapor turning into dew when it cools down. This is also the principle behind foggy days, which are quite common.

Another method is volume compression, which is pressurized liquefaction.

When the temperature is below the critical temperature, the gas volume is compressed to increase the pressure, causing the gas to liquefy. Common examples include lighters, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and oxygen cylinders operate on a similar principle.

Dead memories are attacking my brain relentlessly. The first possibility is unlikely; I can't freeze myself into an icicle, otherwise, even if I break through, I'd probably be half-dead. But the second possibility…

Try?

Just do it.

All the spiritual energy was compressed into the narrow dantian. A dark, demonic aura surged from the spiritual root, blocking all the entrances and exits from the meridians to the dantian. Then, the energy was forcibly circulated, forcing the spiritual energy to rotate wildly within the dantian.

At this moment, his body was like a compressor, unable to even clear the blockage, because the rapidly rotating and compressed spiritual energy could no longer smoothly enter his meridians.

The intense stimulation nearly made Lu Cheng faint on the spot, his eyes rolling back. Even his dantian was squeezed into various shapes, as if it were about to explode at any moment. This suicidal act made him... on the spot...

Tick ​​tock!

"puff--"

As a drop of liquid fell into his dantian, the boy finally spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

It's so good to be young; you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.
