“Heh, the Qi Refining Method I gave him was incomplete. It’s pretty good that he managed to Cultivate to this point. As for wanting to go further, how is that possible?”
Regarding the Rat spirit’s question, the Weasel sneered, appearing unconcerned.
Since it knew that Songfeng Daoist had some talent in comprehension, how could it give him the complete Qi Refining Method?
If it had done so, wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble?
“Since the Superior was already prepared to guard against him earlier, why didn’t you modify it, like this time, and just give him an incomplete Qi Refining Method? Why let him succeed in Qi Refining?”
This time, it was the Rat spirit’s turn to be puzzled.
At first, it thought the Weasel hadn’t considered that aspect, which was why it gave him the Qi Refining Method.
But now, it seemed the Weasel had clearly considered it and planned it out.
If that was the case, why not just not give him the complete Qi Refining Method from the beginning?
It believed that this way, the other party would no longer be a threat.
Listening to this, the Weasel shook its head.
“I originally thought the same, but after some thought, I felt this method wasn’t appropriate. This Songfeng Daoist isn’t a fool. If I didn’t give him something real, something he could learn and have some hope from, he wouldn’t continue to comprehend those Taoist magic later.”
“I still have many Taoist magic that I haven’t comprehended. If I don’t use his hands, it’s probably impossible for me to comprehend them through my own efforts in this lifetime.”
“Furthermore, I heard that the taste of a Cultivator’s Physical Body after Cultivation is unforgettable; it’s much more delicious than an ordinary person’s and greatly beneficial to one’s Cultivation. Therefore, I let him Cultivate. Once he succeeds in Cultivation, I’ll find an opportunity to kill him and then eat his flesh and blood.”
The Weasel’s words left the Rat spirit stunned.
It hadn’t expected that the Weasel had already thought of so many things beforehand.
If that was the case, then this Songfeng Daoist would likely not escape this calamity.
The Rat spirit thought about the Weasel’s words, then about Songfeng Daoist’s appearance, and suddenly couldn’t help but sneer.
“I often hear how great Cultivators are, but now it seems that these Cultivators are nothing special. In the end, aren’t they just playthings in the hands of a Superior?”
At this point, the Rat spirit was sneering endlessly.
Its earlier reverence for Cultivators had long since been filtered away during this period.
In its view, these Cultivators were truly so foolish that it made one laugh internally.
...
Guo Yun County.
He Xiuyuan was sitting on a stone chair, looking at the Jade Slip in his hand, when he suddenly felt a shadow fall over him.
When He Xiuyuan looked up, he saw Songfeng Daoist beside him.
At this moment, Songfeng Daoist looked at He Xiuyuan with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to speak but couldn’t.
He Xiuyuan found it strange but still sat up straight, motioned for Songfeng Daoist to sit down, and then asked with a puzzled look.
“Fellow Daoist, what is this…?”
He Xiuyuan looked at Songfeng Daoist, his face full of surprise.
Songfeng Daoist looked at He Xiuyuan, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, “Fellow Daoist… I have already seen that Superior. The Superior didn’t give me a chance to speak, so I suppose he doesn’t want to see you…”
“I thought it was something important. Since that Superior doesn’t want to see me, then I won’t see him. No problem, no problem.”
He Xiuyuan felt a slight regret upon hearing this, but he didn’t think much of it.
Songfeng Daoist saw that He Xiuyuan was not angry because of this, and his heart immediately relaxed. He then smiled broadly, as he had been worried that He Xiuyuan would blame him.
Now seeing He Xiuyuan so calm, he also felt relieved.
“This time when I went to see the Superior, he imparted a Taoist magic to me. I still need to carefully comprehend it, so I won’t be in Guo Yun County during this period.”
Songfeng Daoist thought for a moment and then bid farewell to He Xiuyuan.
During this time, he planned to go outside Guo Yun County to carefully comprehend the Taoist magic he had obtained.
He Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this.
Since the Superior mentioned by Songfeng Daoist didn’t want to see him, He Xiuyuan also felt that he should leave.
Anyway, Songfeng Daoist had no time now, and he could also return to Mount Shi Fang to carefully comprehend the Spell of cutting paper into human figures.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan stood up, and just as he was about to bid farewell, his gaze paused slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
“Fellow Daoist… this time you went into the mountains, did you encounter a demon?”
He Xiuyuan looked at Songfeng Daoist, somewhat surprised.
He observed that Demonic Qi seemed to be entwined around the other party, and from the looks of it, it seemed he even had something from a demon on him.
Otherwise, the Demonic Qi on him wouldn’t be so obvious.
But why would Songfeng Daoist encounter a demon after going into the mountains this time?
The person he was going to see should be the Superior. Could there be demons around that Superior?
“Uh… Fellow Daoist, you noticed?”
Hearing He Xiuyuan’s words, Songfeng Daoist was stunned for a moment, then his gaze slightly froze.
He hadn’t expected that even though he had concealed it so well, He Xiuyuan still discovered it.
From the looks of it, this Daoist in front of him seemed to have a very high Dao practice!
“Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me what exactly happened?”
He Xiuyuan looked at Songfeng Daoist’s expression and felt that things were getting a bit strange.
He originally wanted to calculate with his fingers, but seeing the other party’s appearance, He Xiuyuan still felt that it would be better for the other party to speak voluntarily.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan’s gaze towards the other party also became serious.
Seeing this, Songfeng Daoist let out a bitter laugh, knowing that if he didn’t speak, it probably wouldn’t work.
After thinking for a moment, Songfeng Daoist sighed softly, “Daoist, you must have guessed that the Superior I met is a demon.”
“What?”
He Xiuyuan’s eyes widened upon hearing this, his face full of surprise, “A demon? You worship a demon as a Superior and seek its guidance?”
He Xiuyuan didn’t have any prejudice against demons, but he had chatted with Qing Yunzi before and knew that there were relatively complete Taoist magic classics within the Daoist sect.
If that was the case, why would Songfeng Daoist need to worship a demon as a Superior and seek its guidance?
Songfeng Daoist smiled bitterly upon hearing this, “I’m not afraid to make you laugh, Fellow Daoist, but the Qi Refining Method in my Daoist temple is truly difficult to Cultivate. I Cultivated for a long time and never even got started.”
“Soon after descending the mountain, I encountered this demon. This demon seemed to know many Taoist classics. I thought that since the demon knew so much, if I could seek its guidance, I would also be able to learn many things.”
“Thus, I stayed there.”
“In my humble opinion, as long as I can achieve something and increase my Dao practice, even if I worship that demon as my teacher, I am willing.”
At the end, Songfeng Daoist had a serious expression.
