Cultivating immortals is a hard job

Mo Xun stood up slowly, with a bit of displeasure on his face.

To be honest, the other party's words were quite threatening.

Of course, from Ye Ping's perspective, this is nothing more than a bargain!

But if the two of them are in an equal realm, there is nothing wrong with that. But the key point is that bargaining with high-level monks is inherently risky.

As Mo Xun's expression gradually became colder, the temperature of the room seemed to begin to drop.

There were sudden bursts of brittle bones in Ye Ping's body. He groaned in pain and his whole body trembled. A large amount of sweat dripped down his forehead and fell to the ground.

But despite this, Ye Ping still didn't beg for mercy and just struggled to support it.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the ram's voice suddenly sounded.

"Boy, it's not your style to bully the young!"

Mo Xun sneered in his heart, this was indeed not his character.

"You are calling the demon inside your body!"

Hearing these words, the expression on Mo Xun's face froze, and the pressure he exuded slowly dissipated. At the same time, Ye Ping felt his body loosen up and almost fell down.

"What's the meaning?"

"Don't be so nervous. Once you step into the golden elixir, everyone will have inner demons, just more or less!"

Mo Xun had heard that there would be inner demons when condensing the Nascent Soul, but he didn't know that this kind of thing would start to appear after the elixir was formed.

"Will it have any impact on me now?"

"In terms of cultivation, it's okay for the time being, but in terms of mental state, you need to pay more attention. In fact, this situation is normal. As your realm improves, your magic power will become more powerful, so the people you meet will be weak. There will be more people, which will gradually weaken your sense of awe of life. In your eyes, there will probably be only two types of people left, one is high-level monks who are stronger than you, and the other is just... They are like ants!"

Although it sounded a bit convoluted, Mo Xun still understood the gist.

Mostly like a child, when first seeing chickens and ducks that are about the same size as themselves, they will feel that they are the same beings as themselves, and they will become playmates.

But as I grow older and my knowledge becomes wider, one day I will realize that those are just beasts, but I am a superior human being who takes life and death.

From then on, he got out of control, killing and cooking without any inappropriate thoughts, as if it was natural.

This is a disregard for life!

Thinking of this, Mo Xun realized that, seemingly unknowingly, his temper was becoming increasingly difficult to control.

"You mean, this is the inner demon?"

"It is considered one of them. Falsehood, compassion, sorrow, greed, anger, hatred, even joy can be possessed by demons. Not only humans, but also gods, cannot avoid the impurity in the seven emotions and six desires. It is really impossible to be demon-free. , it can only be a dead thing, so you can’t avoid it, it’s just a matter of depth!”

There was a hint of thoughtfulness on Mo Xun's face. Not to mention other things, even if he said goodbye to all his desires, he would never give up just on his persistence in immortality.

After a long time, Mo Xun asked inquiringly: "Do you mean to accept him?"

"I can't make the decision for you about this kind of thing. After all, I haven't survived the inner demon. I just found some clues and reminded you. As for how to do it, that's your business."

Mo Xun nodded understandingly. Since forming the pill, his state of mind has indeed undergone many subtle changes.

If it hadn't been for Gongyang's reminder this time, I'm afraid there might have been problems if it had been allowed to develop.

It seems that in the future, in addition to practicing, we also need to reflect on ourselves all the time!

During this period, Ye Ping knelt on the ground persistently and remained silent.

Mo Xun sat back on the chair and stared at Ye Ping, lost in thought.

"Can you briefly introduce the family secrets you mentioned to me?"

…

After about a stick of incense, Mo Xun held his chin in one hand and walked a few steps left and right.

If it is true as Ye Ping said, this set of weapon refining techniques called "Hundred Refiners and Ten Thousand Treasures" does have some unique features, and the most rare thing is that it contains the secret techniques learned by dozens of generations of Ye family's ancestors.

Ye Ping looked at Mo Xun, who was frowning, and did not dare to rush him. He just stood quietly with his hands behind his hands and waited aside.

"Well, I can't give you the formal master-disciple status for the time being. If you think it's okay, how about you become a registered disciple under my sect first?"

Hearing this, Ye Ping immediately felt happy. He knelt down again and was about to kowtow, but Mo Xun stopped him from bowing with a hand from the distance.

"Before that, there are a few things that I need to explain clearly to you. If you don't have any objections, it's not too late to salute!"

Ye Ping said quickly: "Master, please tell me, Ye Ping should remember it!"

Mo Xun gave a helpless smile, what on earth is going on with this kind of exchange of interests between master and apprentice?

"The first thing I want to say is that since I have been practicing Taoism, although I have joined sects, in the final analysis, I am still a casual cultivator. It can still be said that I have no sect and no sect. Since you join my sect, you must still make an agreement!"

At this point, Mo Xun's expression became serious.

"First, you are not allowed to use my name casually and cause trouble outside!"

Ye Ping nodded solemnly.

"Secondly, you are currently only a registered disciple. Apart from the regular training resources, I will not teach you other skills and secrets for the time being. In addition, your family feuds and grudges should not be implicated in my body. Of course, I will also take care of your safety during the period of following me."

Ye Ping knew in his heart that such a result was probably the greatest benefit he could strive for.

"Third, you must swear by your inner demon that you will not do anything to betray your master and ancestors during the period of our master-disciple relationship."

Ye Ping had no objection to this point.

At that moment, without the need for the Three Pure Ones to be witnesses, Mo Xun accepted the three kneelings of his first disciple in his life in the room, with the fragrance of the fragrance, the heavens and the earth watching, and at the same time accepted the secret art of refining as a gift to his master.

...

Three days later, after the last meeting with Chen Sangui, the two packed their bags and left the city of refining.

In the sky, Mo Xun looked at Ye Ping, who could hardly open his eyes under the strong wind, and smiled faintly. Then he brushed his sleeves over his body, applying a layer of spiritual power to protect his body.

Although it was not the first time for Ye Ping to fly at high altitude, it was the first time for him to be carried by a Jindan cultivator!

The ancestors of the Ye family did have Jindan cultivators, but in the past hundred years, they gradually declined.

Ye Ping's father only stopped at the late stage of foundation building, and could barely be called a seventh-level weapon refiner. He could refine some low-level magic weapons. Although the yield rate was not high, he finally maintained the weapon technique.

Half a month later, in front of Xuanyuan City, the two slowly landed.
