[Ancient Swordsman] As You Like It

I don't know how long it has passed, but Lin Xixue suddenly heard Xiangling's voice coming from beside her ear: "Sister Xixue, get up! Let's go find Grandpa Shu!" Only then did Lin Xixue open her eyes, only to see a furry The head was dangling in front of her, and a pair of big black eyes were staring at her.

Lin Xixue had to believe that what happened yesterday was not a dream, she sighed helplessly, and then said to Xiangling: "Xiangling, get out of the way, I'll get up right now, you're crushing me!" Xiangling Hearing this, Ling jumped away and said, "Sister Xixue, are you okay!" Lin Xixue shook her head and said, "It's okay, Xiangling is very light."

Lin Xixue still maintained the position she fell asleep last night, and finally turned over and got up. The movement was very funny, and Xiangling next to her couldn't help asking: "Sister Xixue, why are you sleeping like this? You look so good. It's weird! It's different from my sleep, are you comfortable?" Lin Xixue also felt very embarrassed, and secretly rejoiced that she probably couldn't see any expression on her face now, but she said to Xiangling calmly on the surface: "We All alpacas sleep like this, it’s our custom, and sleeping like this is good for cultivation.” And she was thinking in her heart: who knows how alpacas sleep, my back hurts so much now!Be sure to sleep in a different position at night! "Oh," Xiangling nodded half-understood, looked at Lin Xixue adoringly, and said, "Sister Xixue is so powerful, she can practice even while sleeping!" Lin Xixue continued calmly: "It's nothing, you can try it too. "Someone, oh, a certain alpaca, who deceived a simple animal, said cheekily.

Afterwards, Lin Xixue and Xiangling started to walk towards Grandpa Shu after tidying up a bit. On the way, the two chatted, but to outsiders it sounded like "Zhizhi" and "Mmm~mmmm~".Lin Xixue asked Xiangling how old she was now and when she awakened to her spiritual wisdom.Xiangling told Lin Xixue that she heard from Grandpa Shu that she had just awakened her mind this year, but she was quite a few years old, but demons are generally very old, and she was still in her infancy, and it would take a long time to grow up big.And like Xi Xue, she was in Hongye Lake when she woke up, and she had never seen her parents.Lin Xixue thought to herself: Should I tell Xiangling about her parents, but how should I explain how I knew about it?Alas, forget it, little Xiangling, I will tell you later when you want to find your parents.But Lin Xixue didn't expect that she and Xiangling's parting is just around the corner, and it will be a long time before they meet again.

The two came to Grandpa Shu while they were talking. After Xiangling woke Grandpa Shu up, Grandpa Shu smiled and asked, "You two little fellows, you're here so early!" "Yes, yes, Grandpa Shu!" Xiangling shouted cheerfully.Grandpa Shu continued: "Looks like we didn't run around last night, so let's start! Xiangling, although you have the cultivation base passed down to you by your father, you must listen carefully, and don't be as lazy as before. Did you hear that?" "Got it, Grandpa Shu, Xiangling won't do it anymore!" Xiangling said seriously.Lin Xixue also said: "Grandpa Shu, I will study hard."

Grandpa Shu nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Then I will start with the most basic ones. As we all know, everything has a spirit. This kind of spirit refers to the soul, not the wisdom. The practitioners in the world are mainly human beings. Because human beings are the master of all spirits, this kind of spirit refers to spiritual wisdom. The unique advantage of human beings in cultivation is that human beings are born with spiritual wisdom. However, almost none of us monsters are born with spiritual wisdom, most of them are acquired Awakened ones, of course, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other natural beasts are exceptions.

When we monsters awaken our intelligence, we have the qualifications to practice.Compared with human beings, the cultivation method of monsters is not much different. They all absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth and use it for their own use. Humans cultivate spiritual power by meditating and practicing Qi, while we monsters strengthen ourselves by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon .But because the lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans, the speed of cultivation of monsters is also much slower than that of humans.The cultivation realm of our monsters can be divided into nine levels. Generally speaking, very few people have cultivated above the eighth level. For example, Grandpa Shu has cultivated to the sixth level and stagnated.The same is true for human beings, most of whom cannot cultivate to the highest level.

This is because when one reaches the last level of cultivation, one is qualified to become an immortal, and it is very difficult for humans or demons to reach this stage.When human beings are successful in cultivation, they will form a Nascent Soul in the dantian, and then cultivate into a fairy body and live forever.For example, Ziyin, the sword-holding elder of Tianyong City, is the only sword fairy in the world today. He has become a fairy for nearly 300 years, but he has not ascended to the fairy world for some unknown reason, and is still stranded in the mortal world.The same is true for us monsters. The difference is that what we practice is inner alchemy. Generally, as long as we cultivate to the fifth level, we can form inner alchemy. When becoming a fairy, you also need to go through the thunder disaster.And human beings only need to be able to survive the thunder calamity once, but what they survive should be called the immortal calamity. As the name suggests, it is the thunder calamity that they overcome when they become immortals.It can be said that there are many difficulties to survive the thunder calamity. Many cultivators and monsters with sufficient cultivation will fall under the thunder calamity. Among these human and demon cultivators, none of them can become immortals.One can imagine how difficult it is to become a fairy!

In addition, some immortal cultivators who claim to be righteous people often hunt and kill demons in the name of eliminating demons and defending the way, and use our inner alchemy to refine medicine to improve their cultivation.On the contrary, there are some evil spirits who will devour the Nascent Soul of the cultivator to improve their cultivation, but you must bear in mind: none of the demons who improve their cultivation in this way will achieve positive results, and most of them will go crazy and die.Therefore, you must not do this.

There are also cultivators who will take some monsters with a certain level of cultivation as their own spirit beasts and drive them, and they will never be free.Therefore, until you are successful in cultivation, you must not go out alone to avoid danger. "

Speaking of this, Grandpa Shu looked at Xiangling and said, "Xiangling, I know you have gone out of the Zirong Forest to play more than once. Although Hongye Lake is inaccessible, it does not mean that you can protect yourself now. If you are in danger, you can't resist at all, and it will even bring disaster to the entire Hongye Lake, and it will be too late to regret it!"

When Xiangling heard what Grandpa Shu said, she hurriedly said: "Grandpa Shu, I was wrong, I will never run around again, I will definitely practice spells and protect Hongye Lake!" Grandpa Shu smiled with satisfaction, and said: " It’s good that you know the seriousness,” and then said to Xixue, “Xixue, do you understand what I’ve said so much? Do you have any questions?”

Lin Xixue listened to the contents of Grandpa Shu, not only mentioned the real Ziyin, but also many of the same places as those written in the immortal novels she had read. Transformation, will there be thunder calamity when transforming into form, so I asked: "Grandpa Tree, I want to know, if we succeed in cultivation, can we transform into human form? If we can transform into form, will we also have to overcome thunder calamity?"

Grandpa Shu praised: "Xixue is really smart, and all the questions I'm going to talk about are asking. After the monsters have cultivated the inner alchemy, they can generally transform into forms. They don't need to go through the thunder calamity when they transform into forms. Human form is the dream of every demon, but different demons need different time to transform into form, generally it takes hundreds to thousands of years.

But there are exceptions, like Xiangling, who has hundreds of years of cultivation, as long as she masters it a little, she can transform into form.There are also some heaven and earth spirit beasts, their cultivation speed is very fast, and they can often transform into form in just a dozen years, so as long as they have enough cultivation, they can transform into form.Xixue, do you understand? "

Lin Xixue nodded, thinking to herself, it seems that this world is not the same as in the novel, at least there is no need to go through the transformation.However, I don't know how long it will take for me to transform, don't wait until hundreds of years later!

However, she looked at Grandpa Shu, hesitating to speak, Grandpa Shu saw this, and said, "Xixue, do you want to ask why I don't have a form?" Lin Xixue nodded and said, "Yes, Shu Grandpa, your age seems to be more than a few hundred years old, why haven't you transformed yet?" Grandpa Shu sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to transform again in this life!" "Why?" Xiangling and Lin Xixue asked in unison.

Grandpa Tree shook the branches and leaves, and said: "Grandpa Tree was seriously injured and failed to transform into the current form because he did not have the guidance of his predecessors when he transformed. Later, because Grandpa Tree's body became bigger and bigger, The mana is too scattered, and it is impossible to concentrate the power to transform again. Although Grandpa Tree is a rare long-lived tree species, because he cannot transform, his cultivation has stagnated, and I am afraid that time is running out."

Xiangling shed tears and said, "No, Grandpa Shu won't die. Grandpa Shu also said that he wants to see Xiangling grow up. Grandpa Shu can't lie to Xiangling!" In this world, I have met Xiangling and Grandpa Shu, and they both care about her very much, so she doesn't feel lonely in this strange world, but at this time she doesn't know what to say, so she has to be like Xiangling. Looking at Grandpa Tree.

Grandpa Shu looked at the two of them, smiled helplessly, and said, "Little Xiangling, why are you crying! Grandpa Shu won't lie to you, Grandpa Shu still wants to watch Xiangling grow up and find Mr. Ruyi!" Grandpa Shu will live for a long time, so long that Xiangling might not want to see Grandpa Shu anymore!" Hearing this, Xiangling laughed through tears, shook her head again and again, and said, "No, no, Xiangling will always be with you. Grandpa Shu is together!" This made Grandpa Shu smile and made Lin Xixue laugh. At the same time, it also reminded her of her mother. She also said that she would stay with her for the rest of her life and never leave her.Thinking of this, Lin Xixue couldn't help sighing, and then concentrated on listening to Grandpa Shu.

Seeing that Xiangling and Lin Xixue already felt something, Grandpa Shu continued: "The first transformation of a monster is very important and dangerous. Generally speaking, the appearance of the first transformation is the appearance of the future. This is the case regardless of beauty or ugliness. In fact, most of the monsters look very good after transformation, except for a few monsters whose prototypes are very ugly, so Xiangling and Xixue can rest assured that you will still be very cute after transformation. But because the first transformation takes a long time and the process is dangerous, it must be guarded by someone close to you. Otherwise, you may be like Grandpa Tree and never be able to transform again. Do you remember? "

"Remember, Grandpa Shu!" Xiangling and Lin Xixue replied together.Grandpa Shu saw the two of them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, so he comforted them: "But you don't have to worry too much, Hongye Lake is inaccessible, and it is relatively safe to transform here. Besides, Grandpa Shu is still here, and Grandpa Tree will Protect yours."

Xiangling and Lin Xixue looked at each other and said, "Thank you Grandpa Shu, we are not afraid!"
