A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 357 Inner Demon

"So strong?"

Xin Jue's expression changed slightly. He had just made a breakthrough not long ago. Although he could see that something was wrong with Lu Luan, he didn't expect that his cultivation was so high.

But he was just stunned for a moment, without moving at all, only the corners of his clothes kept rustling.

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Lu Luan withdrew his breath and said calmly: "Monk, I am very curious about you. You are only in the early stage of foundation building, how did you tell?"

Indeed, this monk's cultivation was far inferior to his.

"Every profession has its specialties, and this is my job. If I'm not mistaken, the donor has only been practicing magic for a short time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see any clues." Xin Jue said with his hands clasped together.

Lu Luan understood that this monk, like the underground Yaksha, was much more sensitive to demonic cultivators or the aura of demons than immortal cultivators. Or maybe he had his own unique methods, similar to Xiao Chan's ability to refine the six qi.

"Since you practice Buddhism, why do you still want to be a casual cultivator? In this Wudu Sea, no matter which immortal force it is, they will accept you, and treat you as a distinguished guest." Lu Luan asked.

"Isn't it the same for you, fellow Daoist?" Xin Jue looked at him with a smile, and then said, "I am following the path of asceticism in Buddhism. Only by practicing in the world of mortals can my cultivation be improved."

"So...what about my inner demon?" Lu Luan said in a deep voice.

"The donor's inner demon is the most terrifying I have ever seen." Monk Xinjue's eyes became solemn.

"Is that so? But my faith in Taoism is firm now, and I can't sense any change in my state of mind. Even if I have a mental demon, it's not as serious as you said." Looking at his expression, Lu Luan felt that he was exaggerating.

But it is easy to understand. After all, the other party has just entered the foundation-building stage. Lu Luan is one of the few masters who can see through his inner demons, which is equivalent to never having seen the world.

"Donor, your true heart has begun to be obscured by your inner demons. Isn't this terrifying?" The monk revealed the secret in one sentence.

Hearing this, Lu Luan couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. It wasn't that his inner demon was too weak, but that it was too strong!

"Donor, I will show you a glimpse of the inner demon."

Xinjue paused, and then a layer of golden light appeared on his left hand, and layer upon layer of scriptures appeared on his plain gray clothes.

Lu Luan was bathed in this golden light, and it seemed that the dirt hidden deep inside his body was revealed. Black air began to emanate from the corners of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Roar!

Lu Luan shook his head, then suddenly raised it and roared like a wild beast. His eyes were red, his appearance was ferocious, and his long hair was flying. He had completely turned into a monster.

Thoughts of killing, hatred, and greed instantly filled his eyes.

call……

But a breeze blew by and the golden light disappeared.

The world is pure and clear.

On the sea, Lu Luan quietly opened his eyes, his gaze deeply solemn.

"Donor, do you see the evil thoughts in your heart?"

The person on the other side spoke calmly.

Lu Luan took a deep breath, calmed his restless mind, and whispered: "Monk, let's find a place to talk."

"Just go to my little room."

The way of heart awareness.

Lu Luan nodded, and then flew towards Xuanling Island while chatting.

After a while, they reached the outskirts of the island.

Xinjue took him to the inn where he lived.

Maybe it was because he had just made a breakthrough and was short of money, so all the cultivators in the inn where he lived were at the Qi Refining level.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, fellow Daoist." She looked at him with a bitter heart.

"No problem."

Next, the two came to a house with a good location. The window faced the sea and offered a boundless view.

The two sat down at the table.

"Fellow Daoist, do you have a way to dispel this inner demon of mine?"

Lu Luan asked urgently, thinking back to the time when he saw himself in that crazy look in his mind, and his mind couldn't calm down.

"Demons are born from the heart. You can only rely on yourself. However, I have a way to trigger your inner demons in advance before they are fully mature, and suppress them with Zen light to help you destroy them."

Xinjue spoke slowly and gently stroked his hand, and two cups of light tea appeared on the table.

"Fellow Daoist, aren't you afraid that by then I will be controlled by my inner demons and become possessed by evil, and kill you?" Lu Luan's eyes became sharp.

"I came to you because I have some confidence. Although you have done bad things and practiced magic, there is still a glimmer of hope in your heart. You are not a wicked person, otherwise your inner demon would have erupted long ago and would never have accumulated to this extent." Monk Xinjue didn't care about his gaze at all and drank his tea on his own.

"Why are you helping me?"

The person in front of him came out for no reason and wanted to help him. Although he followed the Buddhist path, he didn't believe that the other party had no purpose.

"I'm helping the donor because he can still be saved. Cultivators who go astray often lose their minds, so I don't want a demon who harms lives to appear in the world in the future. Besides, as long as I can save the donor's inner demon, my cultivation will also improve."

Xinjue put down the teacup, drank it, and refilled it for himself.

"Are you sure you can suppress my evil thoughts?"

Lu Luan looked at him suspiciously. After all, his cultivation was too weak. Even if he had the means, he still couldn't rest assured.

"Donor, please don't underestimate our Buddhist and Taoist magical powers. What I suppress is your evil thoughts, not your cultivation." Xin Jue was very confident in himself.

What he meant was that I can't beat you, but I can't beat your evil thoughts?

"How long will it take?" Lu Luan asked.

Xin Jue thought for a while and looked at him, "At least two months."

"Two months," Lu Luan shook his head gently and said, "It's too long."

"The Falling Star Valley will open in a month, and I have to go in."

"Master Shi, why are you going there?" Xin Jue looked at him in shock. It seemed that he also knew the reputation of that place.

"One month, can't it be solved?" he asked.

"No, after all, I have just made a breakthrough in my cultivation..." Xin Jue shook his head.

"Well, if I can get out of that place alive, I'll come to find you again. If I die in there, there's no need to trouble you, fellow Taoist." Lu Luan smiled indifferently.

"Donor, do we have to go to that place?" Xinjue looked at him with a frown.

Lu Luan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"The evil thoughts in the donor's heart have just taken shape but have not yet matured. As long as there is no killing, it will not erupt in a short period of time. As long as you come, I will wait for you," Xin Jue said.

"Thank you very much."

Lu Luan cupped his hands.

Then he talked to him about other things and they became familiar with each other.

Gradually, he learned some things from the monk. He learned that he broke through to the foundation-building stage by capturing more than a dozen demon cultivators of the tenth level of Qi Refining, and then spent two years in a secret place to convert them all and completely eliminate their demonic nature, which greatly increased his cultivation and allowed him to successfully build his foundation.

This method of improving one's cultivation by defeating demons amazed him, but he also knew that this path was difficult and dangerous.

Xinjue seemed to trust him very much and shared some of his own stories of exorcising demons and monsters.

Half an hour later, Lu Luan left.

The Falling Star Valley is about to open, so he has to prepare early.

"Do you want to buy a teleportation charm?"

Walking alone on the street, Lu Luan thought to himself.

A top-level teleportation talisman can allow a person to move instantly to a place hundreds of miles away. If one had one, one could even escape from the hands of a half-step golden elixir expert, and the previous experience underground would not have been so thrilling.

But when he thought of the price of 1,500 spirit stones, he sighed secretly. The spear was worth a lot, and there were more than 2,000 intermediate spirit stones in the storage ring, but if he really used them to buy it, he would not be able to prepare other things. Moreover, although the talisman was good, it could only be used once.

"The Falling Star Valley is as strange as the Tianjue Island. It is full of dangers and has some strange rules. If this kind of talisman is used in it..."

He calculated in his mind that if he really used the teleportation talisman, the teleportation distance would definitely be reduced, and there was a high possibility that he would be directly teleported into some natural formations and restrictions.

"If you really encounter danger, you don't know it..."

Lu Luan touched his chest with his hand.

"By the way, I can actually buy the Powerful Puppet Talisman." He suddenly remembered the talisman that Zhao Kaishan and others had used on Tianjue Island before.

That kind of powerful puppet talisman seems to be very effective against the entanglement restriction.

"They should be sold on Tianxuan Island. Just buy a high-quality one and use the rest to prepare some pills to restore your true essence."

Two thousand intermediate spirit stones were still not enough for him.
