The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Jiang Qingyi asked again, "So why do normal cultivators become possessed by demons?"

"Don't just stand there asking, start setting up the formation right away!" Si Xiu urged.

Jiang Qingyi directly reached out to him, "Give me some spiritual stones."

Si Xiu glared at her and said, "Can you please stop being so stingy? Can I be short of your spirit stones?"

"Then Master, please give it to me first. It doesn't matter if it's mid-quality or top-quality." Jiang Qingyi said without hesitation.

Si Xiu handed a bag of spirit stones to Jiang Qingyi, "Take it and get to work."

Jiang Qingyi took out the spirit stones to set up the formation and said, "Master, you haven't told me why a normal cultivator would be possessed by a demon."

Si Xiu spoke slowly, “Normal cultivators are born with spiritual roots, but some are good and some are average, and everyone is born different.

Therefore, some people cultivate quickly while others cultivate slowly.

This will inevitably lead to comparisons, and some people with unstable mentality will experience various bad emotions such as jealousy.

When this emotion reaches the critical point, that is, when the cultivator can no longer control it, he will be possessed, and his original spiritual roots will become evil dark spiritual roots.

The evil thoughts in the mind of a possessed monk will be infinitely magnified, and he will do bad things as his strength increases.

Therefore, the monks who have been possessed by demons are on the opposite side of normal monks, just like the demons."

Jiang Qingyi nodded in understanding, "So it means that cultivators with unstable emotions and bad intentions are more likely to be possessed by demons?"

"You're right."

"But there should be other ways. There are so many cultivators in Zhongzhou. According to what Master said, there should be quite a few who are possessed by demons. But in reality, I haven't heard of many."

"Your guess is not wrong. A long time ago, many people were possessed by demons. After all, human hearts are uncontrollable, and those dark emotions are even more difficult to control. But now everyone can practice the art of refining the mind, so the situation of cultivators being possessed by demons can be controlled."

"But Master, I don't know how to practice mind skills." Jiang Qingyi said calmly.

Si Xiu looked at Jiang Qingyi in surprise, "What did you say?"

"I said I don't know how to cultivate my mind, and no one has ever taught me before."

When Si Xiu heard this, he gasped, "You... why!"

"Master, I am not from Zhongzhou."

"But, I thought that the art of refining the mind was the most basic thing for a cultivator, and you don't look like you haven't learned it."

"Forget it, it's not important. Master can just teach me when the time comes. I'm not at risk of becoming a demon for the time being."

The more Jiang Qingyi said this, the more nervous Si Xiu became. If he didn't practice the mind-refining technique, the chance of him becoming possessed by a demon would increase ten times.

She is the only extremely talented and intelligent disciple, how could Si Xiu not be worried.

He wished he could teach Jiang Qingyi the art of mind training right now, hoping that she could learn it in the shortest possible time.

Jiang Qingyi didn't continue talking, and Si Xiu was pacing around anxiously.

The system in space suddenly spoke, [Host, a super simple task is coming! ]

Jiang Qingyi's hands did not stop moving at all, [How come there is a new task so soon? Tell me about it.]

[Host, please set up a defensive formation at the four gates of Feng'an City. After completing the task, you will be rewarded with a light attribute spell. Do you accept it? ]

[I thought there was no light attribute magic. You came at the perfect time. Let me take over the task first. It should be completed in no time.]

[The host has accepted it. Please complete the task as soon as possible. 】

[Got it. Thank you, Tongzi.]

[There is one more thing. Host, you do not need to practice the Heart-Refining Technique. The Chaos Technique produced by the system is not vegetarian. You will not be in danger of being possessed by a demon! ]

This surprised Jiang Qingyi. [Chaos skills have such benefits?]

[Host, please do not underestimate the power of the system. 】

[I see. I understand. I won’t learn it.]

After finishing the conversation with the system, Jiang Qingyi quickened her movements. She just needed to complete the task given by Elder Taiqing.

Now she is completing the task assigned by the system, which comes with rewards, so Jiang Qingyi has no intention of slacking off and is working very hard.

Si Xiu was watching Jiang Qingyi's changes from the side, thinking that she was stimulated by something in an instant, otherwise her movements would not be so fast.

He wanted to ask, but found that Jiang Qingyi's eyes were not on him, so he gave up.

After speeding up, Jiang Qingyi didn't spend too much time to complete the arrangement of a formation.

Jiang Qingyi looked at the array pattern on the city gate, put the last array stone in place, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, Master, do you want to try it?"

Si Xiu did not hesitate at all and launched two powerful attacks directly at the city gate.

However, his attack only caused ripples on the formation, and the formation was not damaged at all.

"Old Six, how long can your formation withstand attacks?"

Jiang Qingyi said proudly, "Master, this formation can only be broken by normal methods. Your attack just now will only make the formation more stable. How about you try again, Master?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"To put it simply, this formation will absorb spiritual energy to strengthen itself. Unless the center of the formation is removed, this formation cannot be broken."

"There is actually such a formation!?"

"Maybe Master doesn't understand the formation, so he didn't notice it."

Si Xiu nodded, and he launched a stronger attack on the formation.

As a result, the formation still had only a slight fluctuation, and there was no other movement.

Si Xiu nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, let's leave it like this here. There are still three doors. Let's go over and set up the formation first."

Jiang Qingyi is much more proactive than Si Xiu thought. She will get a reward if she completes the task, so she has no choice but to be proactive.

When setting up the second formation, Jiang Qingyi was still a little confused.

This is obviously something she can accomplish on her own, so why did Elder Taiqing let Master come along?

Overseer? Protector?

Jiang Qingyi believes it is both.

But there is no need to worry too much, as long as the work is done.

It took Jiang Qingyi less than two hours to set up the four formations.

This also includes the time that Si Xiu uses for testing.

After Si Xiu finished the last test, the system said that the reward had been placed in the space, along with the sound transmission skill that was the reward for the previous task.

Jiang Qingyi is very interested in the art of sound transmission, but it is not convenient to learn it outside now.

On the way back, Si Xiu said nothing and his expression couldn't reveal his emotions.

Jiang Qingyi walked beside Si Xiu. She didn't say anything, and her mind was full of all kinds of random thoughts.

Halfway through the journey, Jiang Qingyi realized that they were not on the way back to the inn, so she asked, "Master, where are we going?"

"Teleportation array."

"What are you doing there?"

"You don't have to worry about so much. I will just take you to have a look."

Jiang Qingyi said "Oh" and didn't say anything else. She obediently followed Si Xiu to the location of the teleportation array.
