Five Poison Gates.
Ascend to the Immortal Platform.
A temporary welcoming courtyard.
More than ten members of the Li clan sat together, and the roaring bonfire reflected everyone's faces.
At this time, everyone was dressed in black robes with wide sleeves.
Just by looking at their attire, they were no different from the Five Poison Sect disciples who received them.
Li Shuidao could clearly feel that the palm-sized jade toad was sticking to his waist and abdomen, cold and slippery...
Everyone sat together to have dinner, which was meat wrapped in bread and served with fine wine.
While everyone was eating, Li Haimo coughed slightly and said loudly: "Disciples, now you have successfully obtained Tongshen. Tongshen is a necessary thing for practice. You must protect Tongshen and don't be like me. Without my companions, I can’t make any progress in my cultivation, and I can only be stuck in the middle stage of Rongling, waiting to die of old age.”
"Master Patriarch, can't I renew my membership card if I lose it?" Li Shuilang asked, cupping his fists.
"Of course it can be renewed, but my Tongshen is a sea fish. To renew the Tongshen, you need to find a sea fish of the same species, and sea fish cannot live without the sea. Unless I have reached the realm of Naxu and can incorporate sea fish into my body." Otherwise, you cannot walk freely inland." Li Haimo explained.
After hearing this explanation, everyone felt more relieved.
"Although your colleagues can catch snakes, insects, rats, and ants on their own, it will be difficult for them to grow if they only eat these things. They must eat spiritual things. Only by eating spiritual things can they grow. This is common sense in the world of immortality. Only fellow practitioners can grow. You The cultivation ability will be improved accordingly..."
"You have been practicing in the training hall for two years, and you should be familiar with the cultivation method after obtaining the companion. I will tell you again, don't bother me." Li Haimo said with a serious face.
"I would like to thank the patriarch for his teachings." Li Shuilang and others responded in unison.
A trace of warmth flashed across Li Haimo's eyes, "Okay, listen to me in detail. After obtaining the Tongshen, you are no longer mortals. Now you are already monks in the early stage of the Psychic Mirror. The Tongshen will change your physique and sense the world. Aura, after up to five years, you will have mana and enter the middle stage of channeling. From now on, you must feed the Tongshen by yourself, and the resources consumed for feeding need to be prepared by yourself."
"If you want to obtain cultivation resources, you have only two ways. Either learn to please your master and get rewards from him, or you can participate in the sect trial and risk your life!"
"The Five Poison Sect is quite ruthless. There are cruel sect trials at any time. As long as you sign up, you can participate. However, I advise you that it is best to have a certain level of magical power before participating in the trial. At least you can survive. The chance is greater." Li Haimo reminded with a solemn look.
"Clan leader, don't worry! We will be cautious and never act rashly." Everyone said in unison.
"Boys! What I say next is the most important thing. It is related to whether you can survive after becoming a disciple. You must remember it!" Li Haimo said with a serious face.
After hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
Li Haimo patted the clothes of Li Shuilang next to him and asked, "What is this?"
Everyone took one look and immediately replied: "This is the costume of the Five Poison Sect."
"Why do the Five Poison Sect's costumes look like this?" Li Haimo asked again.
Li Shuilang said: "It's for the convenience of hiding the ginseng."
Li Haimo nodded, and then continued to ask: "Why do you need to hide the ginseng in your clothes? Instead of exposing it."
"Is this...could it be because it's indecent?"
"It should be a surprise when attacking the enemy."
…
Everyone speculated.
Li Shuidao nodded solemnly. He knew why he was undressing like this, but he didn't think twice about saying it out loud.
"You all guessed wrong!" Li Haimo said: "I just said that Tongshen needs to swallow spiritual objects in order to grow quickly. Do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember."
"Okay! Then I will tell you that the so-called spiritual substance is not the Purple Poison Powder you refined. The Five Poisons are also spiritual substances, and they are the most effective ones."
"As you can see, the five poisons are spiritual creatures and can devour each other. A scorpion eating a gecko can greatly improve its cultivation, because the five elements of earth produce gold; a snake eating a centipede can also improve its cultivation, because the five elements of wood produce fire; a centipede eating a toad, Because the five elements are water and wood... Even if the attributes are not incompatible, swallowing the opponent's poisonous insects can slightly improve the cultivation level. However, this small improvement is not worth the risk of your senior brother to kill you and snatch your fellow ginseng. After all, the Five Poison Sect's The rules are not decoration."
"But if your senior brother's companion happens to be a golden scorpion, and he happens to be stuck in the late stage of channeling and cannot get out, when he knows that your companion is a gecko, you say he can't kill it. Kill you? He is trying every possible means to kill you, eat your body parts to improve his cultivation, and break through the shackles in one fell swoop!" Li Haimo's tone was calm, but there was a hint of warning in his words.
Everyone looked at each other in amazement, all sighing at Li Haimo's profound wisdom. As a result, they also understood why people from the Five Poison Sect wore such loose clothes, and there were Tongshen hidden in the clothes. This is for self-protection and to prevent conflicts between fellow sects and the resulting killings.
"I dare to ask the clan leader, if his colleagues are really exposed and he is forced by his fellow disciples, can he sacrifice his colleagues to save his life?" Li Shuidao asked softly.
"If you do this, the road will be cut off." Another person said with a look of astonishment.
When people of the same clan heard these words, they immediately cast contemptuous looks, and some even ridiculed directly: "Yes! You sacrifice your fellow ginseng when forced. How can you become an immortal if you are such a coward? You can live longer if you go back to farming. Woolen cloth."
"Yes, yes, how can you be so bloodless!"
"If someone really does this, come back and tell us. We, the Li family, will fight with him!"
"Yes! This kind of bully must be killed." The crowd was furious for a moment, and the Li family members looked ferocious, shouting about beating and killing.
Li Shuidao suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question. He was a member of the Li family, a member of the Immortal Cultivation Family. If others really wanted to take advantage of his fellow practitioners, they would definitely kill him and silence him. How could they let him live?
Totally impossible!
Asking for mercy is also a death.
Li Haimo raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then chuckled: "Your flexible character is not bad. If you join together, you will be destroyed, and your path will be cut off..."
"Don't think about renewing your membership. Do you think you are a mortal and can go to the Five Poison Cave again?"
"If you go to the Five Poison Cave again, you will immediately explode and die without a burial place. But now you have no mana at all, and you don't know any divine channel skills. You have the ability to capture a monster-level jade toad in the wild. ?"
Li Shuidao immediately clasped his fists and said, "I know I was wrong."
"My sons! You must remember not to expose your colleagues easily, unless you have become a master on the ground list and have enough self-protection power!"
"This is not a family. No one will treat you unconditionally. You must be more open-minded so that you can live longer."
"Fortunately, the wide black robes of the Five Poison Sect are not only wide enough to hide poisonous insects, but can also isolate the breath of poisonous insects. As long as you hide the same ginseng in it, people with hostile intentions will not be able to tell the type of your ginseng."
