Chapter 19 Water and Fire Cannot Compatible
The fire shone on his face, and Li Banfeng slowly opened his eyes.
The peddler's face suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at Li Banfeng with a smile that looked very concerned.
"Are you awake? Come, have a bowl of fruit juice to refresh yourself."
Fruit juice, a kind of beverage in the old days, looks like juice, but in fact it has nothing to do with juice. It is a beverage made by mixing pigments and saccharin.
This bowl is orange flavored.
Li Banfeng's mouth was dry and bitter, and it was not bad to have such a bowl of beverage.
Li Banfeng drank the fruit juice, and when he asked about entering the Tao, the peddler's smile was full of sincerity: "Congratulations, young man, you have gotten rid of the threat of Tianguang and become a cultivator, which is what other states often call a dark energy cultivator."
Why is the peddler's tone so strange?
There is an official tone in his speech, but the previous market atmosphere is gone.
Li Banfeng asked again: "Which Taoist sect did I enter?"
"Didn't you want to become a traveling cultivator before? This wish has come true!" The peddler poured another bowl of fruit juice for Li Banfeng.
"That's good." Li Banfeng picked up the fruit juice and took a big sip. This bowl of pineapple flavored, golden yellow drink with the unique aroma of pineapple.
Seeing the golden color, Li Banfeng remembered the scene before he fainted. He saw the golden powder, mixed with a little blue halo.
"Just travel cultivation?" Li Banfeng re-examined the peddler.
The peddler's smile was still sincere: "You just asked another customer if he could practice two Taoist sects at the same time. I will answer this question for him. It is possible to practice two Taoist sects at the same time!"
Sure enough!
There was a problem!
Li Banfeng asked: "Which two Taoist sects should I practice at the same time?"
The peddler pondered for a while and said: "It is travel cultivation and home cultivation."
The blue powder is travel cultivation.
The golden powder is home cultivation.
Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and asked: "How can home cultivation and travel cultivation be practiced at the same time?"
There is an obvious contradiction between these two Taoist sects.
The peddler patiently explained: "The customer just now said that it is difficult to achieve anything by practicing two Taoist sects at the same time. I think this idea is incorrect.
A person who practices two Taoist sects at the same level should have stronger combat power than a cultivator of one Taoist sect.
Even if he is one level lower than the other party, he can still compete with the other party through the means of two Taoist sects.
Isn't this an advantage? Isn't this potential? I think the future of dual practitioners is bright!"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I think it is bright too. So, how should home cultivation and travel cultivation be practiced together?"
"Let's talk about home cultivation first," the peddler patiently explained, "Due to its special nature, home cultivation can be practiced with many Taoist sects, such as peeping cultivation.
Peeping cultivation is good at spying and tracking. If a home cultivator practices peeping cultivation at the same time, he can sit at home and track a person's whereabouts. Even if the matter is exposed, the home cultivator is very safe under the protection of the home spirit.
Moreover, the house spirit can enhance the ability of spying cultivators, chase enemies thousands of miles away, even tens of thousands of miles away, and even break through barriers.
So, house cultivators are very suitable for dual cultivation.
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Very suitable, so how should house cultivators and travel cultivators practice dual cultivation?"
The peddler continued to explain: "Let's look at travel cultivators. Travel cultivators are also very suitable for dual cultivation. Let's not talk about those far away. Let's talk about Han, the shopkeeper of Baisheng Medicine Store in Yaowanggou.
Everyone in Yaowanggou knows that she is a medicine cultivator, but few people know that Han is also a traveler.
She walked thousands of mountains and crossed thousands of rivers, and collected countless rare treasures. Only then did she run Baisheng Medicine Store.
You say, isn't this traveler suitable for dual cultivation?
"Suitable, very suitable," Li Banfeng agreed very much, "So, how should house cultivators and travel cultivators practice dual cultivation?"
"Both house cultivators and travel cultivators are very suitable for dual cultivation. Putting these two Taoists together is not also very good..." The peddler's voice became smaller and smaller.
Li Banfeng asked seriously, "What's good about it?"
"Listen to me and I'll tell you..." The peddler wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, I'll listen, you tell me." Li Banfeng was still very serious.
After a few minutes of silence, a cold wind blew, and the peddler's forehead was covered with sweat: "I can't tell it."
"Then what?" Li Banfeng's forehead was also covered with sweat.
Something big happened.
The peddler forced out a smile, as if to comfort Li Banfeng: "It is impossible to cultivate both the home and travel sects. These two sects are natural enemies, but you can think of the good side."
"What are the benefits?"
"The benefit is that you are still alive," the peddler put away his smile. From now on, every word he said was related to Li Banfeng's life.
"Home cultivation and travel cultivation, the two sects have nothing in common, and their characteristics are seriously contradictory. Logically, you should have died on the spot if you used the powder of these two sects at the same time.
But you are still alive, which proves that your physique is still somewhat special. Of course, this is mainly related to your exposure to the skylight."
"What exactly is the skylight?"
The peddler shook his head: "This matter is too profound, but I can't explain it to you clearly."
"Tell me slowly, just in case I understand it!" Li Banfeng must figure out what he encountered.
The peddler pondered for a moment and said: "Do you know what dark matter is?"
"Of course I know."
In fact, Li Banfeng didn't know that with the current level of human technology, no one knew what kind of existence dark matter was.
But Li Banfeng is also a highly educated person, and he has heard of the term dark matter.
"Do you really know?" The salesman confirmed again.
Li Banfeng nodded: "I know, I have a higher education."
"But I don't know!" The salesman puffed up his chest, "I don't know what dark matter is, so I can't understand this matter!"
Li Banfeng scratched the back of his head and felt that what the salesman said was correct: "Then let's not talk about dark matter for now."
The salesman continued: "The so-called light from the sky, in your foreign language, is called dark matter ray flow.
Dark matter exists everywhere, but some dark matter is more special. In the words of Nei Kyushu, this is called the burst of Tao Yuan.
Ingesting Tao Yuan in the correct way will not harm the body too much, but the burst of Tao Yuan is too violent and cannot be resisted by ordinary people.
If hit by the burst, the body will explode quickly, and the remaining Taoist fate may continue to hurt people.
Therefore, if you want to survive, you must enter the Tao as soon as possible, and through the medicinal guidance of entering the Tao, follow a certain direction to unblock the Tao fate in your body..."
The salesman explained the mechanism of skylight in as simple a language as possible, and Li Banfeng quickly understood the key points.
Dark energy practitioners, also known as cultivators in this place, are actually extraordinary people who mutate after special dark matter invades their bodies.
Mutation is disordered and has a high probability of being fatal.
The peddler's medicine can guide disordered mutations into orderly mutations.
For those who take in dark matter in small amounts and regularly, like Ma Wu and Qin Xiaopang, the erosion of mutation is relatively slow. Only when the mutation reaches a certain level can the peddler's medicine be used to guide them to become dark energy users.
Li Banfeng encountered a dark matter ray flow, and his body was eroded by a large amount of dark matter in a short period of time. There was a direct risk of exploding on the spot, so he had to be guided immediately.
There are many kinds of drugs, leading to different directions and paths, and thus bringing different extraordinary abilities.
Li Banfeng has enough dark matter in his body, so he can choose any path, and he can barely choose two similar paths at the same time.
But he chose two opposite paths.
But this was not what Li Banfeng chose!
Li Banfeng's eyes widened and he said, "Where's Qiao Yuesheng, where is that birdman who hit me just now? It's all him..."
The salesman pointed to the straw mat beside him: "Are you talking about him?"
Li Banfeng never noticed the straw mat next to the salesman, thinking that there should be some sundries wrapped there.
Now looking at him pointing like this, it seems that there is a person wrapped inside.
Li Banfeng was surprised: "Is this Qiao Yuesheng?"
The salesman nodded: "This matter happened because of him, and he has already given me enough compensation.
And if you had an accident at my stall, I am also responsible, so I must also give you a compensation. This is my duty in business.
Judging from your situation, you should have passed the entry level, but the subsequent practice will be very difficult for you.
According to the characteristics of travel training, even if you do not seek to improve your cultivation, you must walk at least twenty miles every day.
According to the characteristics of home repair, you have to go home at least once a day and stay at home for at least two hours. "
Li Banfeng counted the time: "This is not difficult!"
It's really not difficult.
If you have nothing to do, go for a walk. If you go twenty miles, treat it like a ten-kilometer jog.
Go home and take a nap, or read a novel or watch a TV show. Two hours is not too relaxing.
From this point of view, the conflict between these two sects is not that serious.
The salesman shook his head and said: "This is the early stage of cultivation. After reaching a higher level, traveling cultivators will have to go farther and farther, while home cultivators will spend more and more time at home. The two will soon be incompatible.
Moreover, after traveling cultivators reach higher levels, they cannot always stay in one place, and the house is fixed, and home cultivators cannot run around, so these two sects are natural enemies.
Of course, this is something for later. We will figure out a solution later. There is still one difficult thing at the moment. If the traveler wants to advance to the first level, he must live in a dangerous place for one day and one night.
This matter is troublesome. The home repairman has to go home every day. If he doesn't go home for a day, he may die suddenly. How can you live outside for a day and a night? "
Li Banfeng blinked and said, "What is a dangerous place?"
The salesman said in astonishment: "Didn't you go to school? You don't understand dangerous places? They are places that can kill you at any time."
"How do you define this place? You can be run over by a car at any time even if you sleep in the middle of the road!"
The salesman nodded and said: "This is really a good idea. You can try it in the middle of the road. If your cultivation level is acceptable, you will really be able to move up a level!"
"Will you still admit your fault for your cultivation?"
"Why not? Cultivation is now a part of you. You have feelings. Cultivation naturally has feelings. Have you decided to sleep on the street?"
"I'm just saying..." Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.
Zhaixiu has to go home every day.
But what about a homeless person like me?
I have no home to begin with, which home do you want me to go back to?
Thinking of this, Li Banfeng asked directly: "I don't have a house now, and I have no home to return to. Now even if I sleep outside in the open air, it doesn't violate the rules of the house. Is that true?"
The salesman nodded: "That's right."
Li Banfeng laughed when he heard this and said, "Wouldn't this be easier to handle? I'll go to a dangerous place first, survive a day and a night, and become a first-level traveling cultivator. Then I can buy a house. Won't this matter be resolved?"
The salesman shook his head: "This won't work."
"Why not?"
"This is tantamount to abandoning home cultivation. Dual cultivation requires practicing both disciplines. If you give up on one of them, you will lose your life."
Li Banfeng hurriedly said: "I didn't give up. I first cultivated the travel cultivation, and then cultivated..."
"What's the use of just talking?" The peddler interrupted Li Banfeng directly, "Cultivation is a part of your body, and your actions represent your intentions.
You have cultivated the travel cultivation to the first level, and your cultivation has achieved some success. As a result, you don't even have a suitable house, and the house cultivation has not yet been put on the right track. Isn't this equivalent to giving up the house cultivation?"
"Isn't what you said a bit far-fetched? That's not what I think!"
The peddler shrugged and said: "It's useless to tell me. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
"Try... That can't be tried," Li Banfeng fell into deep thought again, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I simply don't go up a level, just waste it like this, and then think of a way!"
"Like him?" The peddler lifted the straw mat, revealing Qiao Yuesheng's bloody body.
To say that it was bloody was an understatement, it was just a pile of minced meat.
If the peddler hadn't said that this was Qiao Yuesheng before, Li Banfeng wouldn't have recognized him at all.
"How did he become like this?"
The peddler covered the straw mat: "He is a dark energy user, a glutton, that is, a food cultivator.
Compared with travel cultivators, food cultivators are not particularly fast, but as long as they are full, they are much faster than ordinary people.
According to the rules of other states, dark energy users cannot participate in sports competitions, which is considered cheating, but this kid is willing to do it for fame and fortune.
Dark matter cannot be observed, and no one can discover his cultivation, but he is worried that someone will discover his abnormality.
Food cultivators have to eat five kilograms of rice every day. He is afraid of being exposed, so he dare not eat, let alone gain a level.
He keeps using his physical talent, but does not practice in the right way. Just like you said, he just wastes it, and ends up like this.
You can't just... Keep going, at least one of the home and travel cultivation must reach a certain level. If you delay too long, your fate will be the same as his. "
"Can you stop practicing after reaching one level?"
"No, even if you don't want to make progress, you still can't slack off in your daily basic practice."
Li Banfeng looked at the straw mat wrapped around the corpse: "When will the practice end?"
"There is no end," the peddler shook his head, "Since you chose this path, you are destined to walk it for a lifetime."
Li Banfeng looked up at the peddler: "Then tell me, how can I pass this level?"
The peddler looked back at Li Banfeng: "Two roads, you choose one, the first road, find a dangerous place to settle down, I will buy you a house."
