Chapter 138: Collecting and Replenishing (Part 1)

"I'm still a child, how can I know?" Mo Hua said confidently.

Zhang Lan's expression froze, full of helplessness, and he had to explain:

"The so-called Cai Bu is actually a kind of dual cultivation."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he paused and said, "You should know about dual cultivation."

Mo Hua blushed, "I know a little bit."

Zhang Lan didn't know whether he really didn't know or pretended not to know, so he continued:

"In fact, it's a matter between men and women, to put it bluntly, that's it. But dual cultivation can improve some cultivation, and the process is beautiful, so many cultivators are obsessed with studying the way of dual cultivation."

Mo Hua had a question, "Can dual cultivation really improve cultivation?"

"It can only improve a little bit, but it's better than nothing. If you have time to study this unorthodox way, you might as well spend more time meditating and practicing." Zhang Lan said.

"What's the difference between dual cultivation and absorbing essence?"

"Dual cultivation is normal, but absorbing essence is vicious. Evil practitioners will absorb the blood, essence, and spiritual power of others through absorbing essence. The person whose cultivation is absorbed will regress at the least, or even collapse the foundation of Taoism, or even die from absorbing essence. These things happen all the time."

Mo Hua was awed.

"Did the flower thief you are chasing also absorbing essence to death?"

"He must have done this, but not now. We are chasing him because he absorbing essence from a healthy woman last month, and he became emaciated and his qi sea was completely destroyed. He is also in a trance every day and is in a state of panic all day long..."

Zhang Lan sighed and gritted his teeth.

Mo Hua felt sorry for what he heard and asked, "If we catch him, will he be sentenced to death?"

Zhang Lan nodded, "The Daoting Division has always been strict in sentencing for things like rape, with a sentence of more than 100 years and a maximum of death penalty. The one we are chasing will inevitably be sentenced to death."

Mo Hua was relieved.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and said,

"I forgot to tell you that dual cultivation is also prohibited."

Mo Hua looked puzzled.

I am still a child, why are you telling me this?

Zhang Lan felt a little embarrassed by Mo Hua's gaze, but since he had spoken, he still explained:

"The Dao Ting Division doesn't care about normal male-female relations. But dual cultivation is not allowed. All dual cultivation techniques and secrets will be burned immediately once discovered..."

"Once a cultivator practices dual cultivation and is discovered by the Dao Ting Division, he will be held accountable. Although it is not as serious as the conviction of Cai Bu, it will also be recorded in the Dao Ting Division's criminal record, which will affect your future apprenticeship and marriage..."

Mo Hua asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that dual cultivation is not a problem? Why is it banned? "

"That's the theory, but it's another matter in reality."

Zhang Lan sighed, "Although dual cultivation is fine and does not violate the Dao Law, if dual cultivation is not banned, some people will practice dual cultivation in the name of collecting and replenishing, which is indirectly equivalent to letting collecting and replenishing go. Moreover, if dual cultivation is not banned, it will be difficult for the Dao Tingsi to investigate. Once they investigate, others will claim that they are dual cultivation instead of collecting and replenishing, and you will have no way to deal with them..."

Zhang Lan was a little upset as he spoke, "The most annoying thing is that some cultivators are still unaware of being collected and replenished, and they are still enjoying it, and even defending those who collect and replenish them. It's simply stupid!"

"If they say it's consensual, then you can't do anything about it?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan snorted coldly, "In front of the Dao Law, there is no consensual. If you violate the Dao Law, you will be arrested and you will not be able to escape."

Mo Hua nodded.

Zhang Lan said, "This is the first reason."

Mo Hua was stunned, "What else?"

"Of course," Zhang Lan said, "The cultivation world has been around for more than 20,000 years, with hundreds of millions of cultivators. What messes haven't happened?"

"Oh."

Zhang Lan continued, "The second reason is that the dual cultivation between Taoist partners will also become a practice of collecting and replenishing energy."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, "Isn't it because of a good relationship that they become Taoist partners?"

"What do you know?"

Zhang Lan looked like you were still young and didn't understand.

"The closer the Taoist couples are, the easier it is for them to have rifts. Today they love each other to death, and tomorrow they want to kill each other. Once there is a disagreement, it is easy to turn into hatred. Then the previous dual cultivation will now become a collection of supplements..."

Mo Hua was amazed and couldn't help saying:

"Uncle Zhang, you know so much, you won't be collected..."

Zhang Lan immediately pulled Mo Hua's ears and said:

"Don't talk nonsense! I am a serious cultivator!"

Mo Hua rubbed his ears and whispered:

"Who I don't know if it's decent or not..."

Zhang Lan was helpless, and then looked at Mo Hua and said:

"You should be careful in the future."

"What should I be careful about? I won't go to collect energy..."

Zhang Lan smiled evilly, "Although you won't go to collect energy, you will be collected."

Mo Hua was dumbfounded, "No way..."

"Not only female cultivators will be collected by male cultivators, male cultivators will also be collected by female cultivators." Zhang Lan smiled and said: "Especially someone like you who is handsome and cute."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

Zhang Lan patted Mo Hua's shoulder: "When you see those coquettish and dissolute female cultivators in the future, you should be more careful, because they may want to take your essence."

Mo Hua pondered for a long time and nodded seriously.

Then he found another blind spot and asked curiously:

"Female cultivators will be taken by male cultivators, and male cultivators will be taken by female cultivators. Then will male cultivators be taken by male cultivators, and female cultivators be taken by female cultivators?"

Zhang Lan's eyes went dark when he was asked.

What a mess!

What's in your little head? How can you ask anything? !

Zhang Lan was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed weakly, "Go to sleep, I'm tired."

After that, he closed his eyes and ignored Mo Hua.

Mo Hua wanted to ask again, but seeing that Zhang Lan's expression was a little haggard, he knew not to ask again.

The lights in the camp flickered and gradually became quiet.

Mo Hua took the formation book and read it for a while. At midnight, he entered the sea of ​​consciousness and practiced the formation, then closed his eyes and rested for a while.

The next day, at Mao time, the sky was slightly bright, and Mo Hua woke up.

Mo Hua got up, and at the same time, Zhang Lan and the other two also opened their eyes.

The three of them had a simple meal, then left the camp and continued on their way.

When they arrived at Guyun Peak, Mo Hua checked the terrain and circled a few places on the map.

These places are relatively hidden, monsters are rare, and it is not easy for other cultivators to find them.

Zhang Lan instructed: "Try to be careful and don't reveal your traces, so as not to alert the enemy. If you meet the thief, don't act rashly, stare at him from a distance first, and wait until we are all together before taking action."

Several people nodded, and then went to look for the places circled by Mo Hua separately.

Mo Hua followed Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan's cultivation is high, so it is safer for him to follow Zhang Lan.

After searching for a while, several people finally gathered in a forest. There was a camp not far from the forest.

Mo Hua said, "There are traces around. The thief should be hiding in that camp."

"Could it be another demon hunter?" Situ Fang asked.

Mo Hua said, "This camp has been abandoned for a long time. Demon hunters will not stay in it."

Zhang Lan nodded and said, "Let's surround the camp and attack together. Mo Hua, it will be a little dangerous here. Run away."

"Yes."

Mo Hua nodded, and then ran away immediately.
