Chapter 303 Ji Lingruo’s Troubles
Ji Lingruo has been troubled recently.
Senior brother and sister will always leave Lotus Peak from time to time to eliminate evil guardians everywhere.
But she could only practice silently on Lotus Peak, secretly thinking that when she breaks through the water condensation realm, she would also join the Evil Exorcism Department so that she could join them in adventure.
In fact, her entry into the country has reached an outrageous level.
When she was in Izumo City, she was just a little demon with a channel connection. She didn't even have the smell of a demon. Yu Su didn't even realize that she was actually a demon cultivator.
And now, her eighteenth birthday is coming soon, and she has already half-stepped across the threshold of the Condensing Water Realm. In terms of talent, she was even a year ahead of You Sudu overall, which was enough to put the geniuses of Xuanxiao Sect to shame.
Of course, this is also inseparable from her diligent practice. Overall, her time of hesitation and ups and downs was even longer than the time she spent meditating.
But the source of her troubles is also here. A normal person breaks through the condensation water and retreats for three to five days. It is normal for ten and a half months to reach the sky. But since she had signs of a breakthrough, it has been almost 20 days now and she still hasn't succeeded, which really makes her panic.
She mentioned her situation to He Shutong and the third elder, but they found nothing strange after checking her body.
This situation is very rare. If you were a human cultivator, you could basically declare the breakthrough failed. But after all, if Ji Ling is a demon cultivator, she cannot be compared with human cultivators. Moreover, she is full of demon elixirs and her Qi is rising steadily, so there is no failure. omen.
In order to make the girl feel at ease, the third elder not only prescribed her golden fritillary, five-color angelica and other medicines to stabilize the demon elixir, but also invited a powerful demon from the demon tribe stationed in Zhongyuan Continent. its analysis.
This great master of the demon race, Nai Huayu, has perfected his cultivation. His true form is a six-armed monkey. He is also an old man from the Evil Exorcism Department of Xingzhao Mountain. He has extensive knowledge and seniority.
Even so, she was extremely surprised by Ji Lingruo's situation.
"This demon pill...is it really yours?"
Ji Lingruo was lying on the bed, looking at the shining eyes of the demon old woman with a little fear, and then nodded heavily.
The third elder stood quietly by the side, also showing fear. She understood the reason why the old woman asked this question.
She has also heard about the situation of the demon clan. Although they are united and civilized on the surface, the bestiality of the demon clan itself has not completely dissipated. The demon pill is different from the spiritual platform built by human monks. The demon pill is an innate thing.
A top-quality demon pill is very likely to be competed by powerful demon clans, who may commit infanticide or even genocide. As a result, strong tribes will always be strong, weak tribes will always be weak, and the solidification of classes will be far more terrifying than that of the human race.
“Do you dare to swear to me that this demon pill was not stolen by your snake clan?”
The old woman put on a serious face.
"Senior, no matter how weak we are in the Snake Clan, we will never raise our swords against those who are weaker. You know better than me the monsters who can really do this kind of sinister deeds."
Ji Lingruo also frowned with a serious expression, and would never allow anyone to slander the name of the Snake Clan.
Although snatching demon pills by force has been explicitly prohibited, the people who can enjoy the benefits brought by the rules are often the ones who make the rules. Who can restrict the behavior of those powerful clans who have been occupying the Xingzhao Mountain for thousands of years?
"It's not that I look down on your Snake Clan, but it's just that since your Snake Clan has declined, it's really not easy for you to hide this demon pill so well."
The old woman is low. He sighed, seemingly helpless about the situation of the Monster Clan, and then smiled with relief and said:
"Your Snake Clan has been in decline for a long time. I thought it would just decline. I didn't expect that not only would a genius like your sister emerge, , and you who are hiding deeper. It seems that there is hope for your Snake Clan’s revival.”
Even within the Snake Clan, few people know that the eldest lady’s previous demon elixir was actually taken from the useless second lady. body, not to mention foreign monsters.
"I will definitely do it." Ji Lingruo nodded, "Senior, is it because of the demon elixir that I can't break through?"
"Yes. The demon elixir is based on the purity of color. Pros and cons, and your demon pill is the purest blue color I have ever seen. Not only is it as pure as crystal and has no impurities, it is also extremely spiritual and has a natural attraction for Xuan Qi.”
The old woman was still smacking her tongue in amazement, and continued, "This demon pill can help you practice like walking on the ground, but it is also more difficult to transform it. In the past few days since your breakthrough, have you always felt that your demon pill You have a big appetite, and you are obviously exhausted physically and mentally after meditating, but your demon elixir is still not satisfied?”
Ji Lingruo’s beautiful eyes were shining, and she nodded frequently: “That’s right, that’s right! No matter how much Xuan Qi I consume, I can’t feed it enough! Not only the demon pill, I also feel that I have a huge appetite recently, and I have to eat a lot to satisfy it. Is this normal?”
“Yours?” Do you have a big appetite?" the old woman asked in surprise.
"Hmm, sometimes I still feel nauseous and retching when I wake up in the morning, and I often feel tight in my chest. Is this normal?"
Ji Lingruo also didn't hesitate to put her own The symptoms were spelled out.
The old woman's eyes were shocked, and she felt that the symptoms the girl mentioned did not seem like a breakthrough, but like she was pregnant...
"Do you...have a Taoist companion?"
Everyone here is a woman, so naturally they all understand instantly.
Ji Lingruo's face turned red and she nodded slightly.
In fact, when she told the third elder about this symptom, the third elder already guessed that she might be pregnant.
She was very nervous at that time and told the third elder that her belly had grown bigger. It used to be very flat, but now it is a little fleshy.
The more the third elder listened, the more frightened he became. However, after careful examination, the third elder finally came to the conclusion——
She was simply fattened by You Su, and there was no pregnancy at all in her body. signs.
The old woman received a positive reply, her kindness disappeared, and she asked seriously:
"Is it a human monk?"
"It's my senior brother..."
< br>The old woman took a deep breath: "He broke your body?"
Ji Lingruo looked shy, but it was impossible to hide it from the doctor: "We occasionally practice double cultivation..."
>The old woman's eyes widened, and then she raised her head and glanced at the third elder who was standing silently beside her, and said angrily:
"Isn't it that Venerable Bihua doesn't know that humans and monsters have different paths? How can you condone your sect's disciples to do this?" Damn it! I have always advocated harmony between humans and monsters, but you, the human race, want to ruin such an outstanding talent like ours!”
The scene suddenly became tense and embarrassing. Venerable Bihua was suddenly criticized and he had trouble saying that. For the sake of Lingruo, she could not have an attack. She secretly cursed:
It was obviously the thirteen elders who did the good deeds. I'm not You Su's mother, why are you yelling at me...
Ji Lingruo naturally couldn't bear to see Venerable Bihua being blamed because of her, so she quickly explained:
"Senior brother and I We really love each other... I know that my senior pities me, but I am willing to do so. He is really very good to me..."
"That can't be done...Oh!" The old woman hesitated to speak. , angry and unspeakable, "You are so young, and you are in the period of soaring in your cultivation, won't your future path be limited by your children?"
Ji Lingruo sipped her cherry red tissue. Lip, hesitantly said, "I pay close attention to it and remember it every time..."
As for You Su, he is also very responsible and will stay with her and remind her after she regains some strength.
"What if there is a fish that slips through the net?"
"Fellow Daoist Hou, don't rush to a conclusion yet. You should listen to Lingruo's pulse first before speaking." The third elder reminded.
The old woman surnamed Hou raised her gray eyebrows and put her hand on the exquisite wrist that Ji Lingruo stretched out.
She checked carefully and discovered that there was really no second life in the girl's body, only a pure demon core flowing freely. "Not pregnant?!"
The old woman couldn't believe it, checked again, and then said silently:
"Breaking through the realm, the physical body will become stronger, and the appetite will become stronger. It's reasonable to think it's bigger. I think the dizziness and chest tightness are also the result of the misalignment between your consciousness and your body due to too long a breakthrough."
Ji Lingruo patted her towering chest and said. She felt relieved, secretly thinking that it would be fine as long as she wasn't pregnant...
"So what Hou Daoyou means is that Lingruo's consciousness feels that he should break through, but his body doesn't feel the same way yet, so there is a misalignment. ?" the third elder asked with concern.
“Yes, it took too long to think about it, which made Miss Lingruo too anxious. However, the difficulty of the demon tribe’s water condensation is inherently more difficult than that of the human race, because the demon tribe still needs to master the power of transformation. Again In addition, it is harder to satisfy your demon pill, so your breakthrough will take a lot longer, so you need to relax your mind and avoid anxiety."
The old woman seems to have completely forgotten about this demon girl. Being a Taoist couple is a matter for people to cultivate.
Ji Lingruo thought secretly, it seems that it is like this no matter whether it is a human or a demon, the psychology will decline. Once something even more unacceptable happens, then the unacceptable thing will not matter.
“So that’s it…”
The third elder didn't know much about the cultivation of demon monks. After hearing these words, he finally felt relieved, "Then let Lingruo go back to rest and quietly wait for the breakthrough to succeed?"
"Okay. , but..." The old woman hesitated to speak again.
“But what?” The third elder asked again.
“But the transformation of the demon clan is by no means a child’s play. Transformation is also the key to the demon clan’s ability to generally defeat human cultivators in frontal battles. It is crucial to the future path. Miss Lingruo has a great opportunity. , is crucial to the revival of the snake clan. Of course you can realize your form here, but I still suggest that it is best to return to your clan and transform."
"I also reminded her, but this child is. Refuse to leave." The third elder shook his head helplessly and quickly put the matter aside.
Ji Lingruo lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.
She could feel that the senior demon clan's concern came from the heart. After all, the two of them were alone in a foreign land. It was like a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman. She burst into tears. She felt that the old man was really her snake. Just like the elders of the clan.
"What I can do by myself...isn't it just to turn into a snake? What's so difficult?" The girl was still arrogant.
"How could Miss Lingruo be so perfunctory? This is a major event for demon birth. Once the transformation is successful, it will be difficult to change it in the future. You are not a little person who has no clan and no clan and can only rely on yourself for everything. Demon, although your snake clan is now in decline, your heritage is still there. Returning to the clan will at least ensure that you will not transform into a demon body that does not match your talents."
The old woman's tone was extremely correct. The envoys assigned by Xingzhao Holy Mountain to Henggao Holy Mountain have seen too many evil thoughts from the human race towards the demon race, and now they really hope that every descendant of the demon race will not take detours.
Ji Lingruo buried her head even lower, so she didn't know that the key to the demon clan's transformation was the word 'visualization'.
Viewing is to learn from the experience of the predecessors and get a rough prototype of the monster body from the specimens and images left by the clan.
I think it is to make my demon body more suitable for my needs within a reasonable range.
Those extremely creative monster geniuses can get a unique monster body by thinking. For example, a hedgehog spirit has practiced transformation, and it is good at poison skills, so it can use imagination to transform itself. The nail thorns are loaded with toxins.
But this is not something you can succeed just by thinking about it, but you must be cautious. The result of not overestimating one's own capabilities is to ask for trouble. The shapes created with a beautiful vision are ultimately just castles in the air, and in reality they are not even as good as the most basic shapes.
For demon cultivators who lack creativity, instead of thinking about it themselves, it is better to find someone with similar talents and then imitate him.
"But... so many days have passed. Instead of letting Lingruo rush around on the way to breakthrough, why not let her rest and rest in the sect?" asked the third elder.
The old woman shook her head, "I'm beginning to suspect now that Miss Lingruo hasn't made a breakthrough for a long time. In fact, she doesn't know what she should become and that's why she stopped moving forward."
The third elder heard this. Liu's eyebrows suddenly frowned, "Lingruo, why don't you take your future seriously?!"
Ji Lingruo's eyes flashed and she quickly shook her head, "Third Elder, I didn't take it seriously. I have an idea, but it’s just more difficult..."
It's a pity that the image of her as a love brain has been formed in the minds of the two elders. No one believed what she said, they just thought she was being tough.
"Venerable Bihua, don't blame the children... It's normal for young people to be conceited. Many children of the demon tribe feel that they can visualize unique shapes to help them cross this road. It’s a pity that there are countless geniuses, but how many of them can succeed?”
The old woman shook her head. She had seen countless geniuses of the demon clan fall in the transformation, and she was indeed qualified to say this:
“Fortunately, Miss Lingruo’s demon elixir is not in full condition yet. It is estimated that this child still has about ten days before she can break through, which is enough for her to rush back to the Snake Clan. Even if Miss Lingruo is really strange, If you think about it, returning to the Snake Clan can help you realize it better."
The third elder sighed. She naturally knew where Ji Lingruo was conceited and was clearly reluctant to leave You Su.
“I understand, it’s hard work, fellow Taoist Hou. I will start preparations and send her back to the Snake Clan.”
“It’s not hard work, so I’ll leave first. Miss Lingruo must be calm. , take a closer look at your own body and find the demon body you want."
The old woman stood up and warned her, then she excused herself.
"Pack your things, and I will take you to the boat now." The third elder was very concerned about Ji Lingruo's affairs.
“Third Elder, there are ten days left...it’s not that urgent, right?”
Ji Lingruo was cautious, knowing that returning to the Snake Clan was inevitable, but she didn't want to leave immediately.
"Why, are you still planning to say goodbye to your senior brother?"
Ji Lingruo felt bitter in her heart. She thought that she would be inseparable from her senior brother when she came to the sacred mountain, but the sweet days were still short-lived. Everyone is busy.
After the senior sister joined in, her emotional exchanges with You Su became even less, basically in front of and behind the bed...
Although the relationship between the two has long been close, even No need to maintain it. But women are always more emotional, and it is inevitable that she still misses the gradually warming feeling in the past.
"Today is my birthday. I want to celebrate my birthday before leaving..."
Ji Lingruo's voice was gentle, as if begging.
"He promised you that he would come back?"
The third elder's tone also softened. She also knew that You Su had no choice but to go on missions everywhere.
“Well...”
The third elder sighed lightly and stroked the long hair on the back of the girl's head with his jade hand:
"Then tomorrow, we have to leave tomorrow. I will send a message to the snake tribe first to let them prepare."
"Thank you, Third Elder!" Ji Lingruo smiled like a flower.
The third elder shook his head again, but in his heart he threatened You Su:
You, you, you are rich in beauty, but you can't just enjoy it.
Even if you are busy with business affairs recently, you should not ignore the emotions of Taoists.
You'd better come back today!
