Chapter 261: The Western Border of the Tang Dynasty, the Land of Liangjie Mountain, General Xue Dingshan Suppresses the Demonic Monkey

“Haha…Brother Di Xiao, you have good aptitude. After you have mastered the first stage of the Cleansing Technique, you can automatically draw in spiritual energy. It seems that you have thoroughly cleansed the impurities in your body.”

"For ordinary humans, even if they have achieved the first level, they still need methods of cultivation, or rely on their spiritual thoughts to attract spiritual energy, so that spiritual energy can enter the body. And you are directly introducing spiritual energy, it is obvious that your body is now very pure."

"However, at this time, Brother Di Xiao, you should also make a choice. Give up practicing the Slashing Pollution Technique and practice other methods instead. Or continue to practice the Slashing Pollution Technique!"

After half a year of practice, Di Xiao already knew what Xue Ping meant by the choice. If he gave up practicing the Slashing Pollution Technique, he could choose other methods of practice, and then use his spiritual energy to practice and reach the peak.

But if he continued to practice the Cleansing Technique and remove impurities from his body, his cultivation level wouldn't improve much, but it would improve his aptitude and have many benefits for his future cultivation.

In response, Di Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Can't we practice at the same time?"

"Practice at the same time? Haha, Brother Di Xiao is really greedy. However, if you practice like this, it is possible. But practicing like this will not please both sides. After all, no matter what method you practice, it is to draw spiritual energy into the body and then cultivate magic power. Then use the magic power to activate spells and magic weapons to fight."

"The Pollution-Slaying Technique also requires the use of spiritual energy to continue tempering the body and removing impurities. However, with your current level of cultivation, the amount of spiritual energy you can draw is limited. Although you can rely on resources to make up for it, let's not talk about whether you can find so many resources. Even if there are a lot of resources, it is difficult for you to refine so many resources with your current level of cultivation."

"So, practicing both at the same time seems feasible. But it will only slow down your practice and eventually make you mediocre. Practicing in this way will not be worth the effort."

Xue Ping had seen many similar situations and wanted to practice together. However, there was only so much spiritual energy and resources that could be drawn. If he divided it in half, half would be converted into mana, and the other half would be used to practice the Slashing Pollution Technique.

If you practice in this way, your progress will be very slow and it will not be worth it.

After hearing this, Emperor Xiao also knew the problem. In fact, Emperor Xiao also knew that he should specialize in one method. However, Emperor Xiao longed to obtain more methods of cultivation to enrich his wisdom.

But seeing Xue Ping's expression and words, he also knew what Xue Ping was thinking.

As Di Xiao said, Xue Ping saw Di Xiao in deep thought and said to him, "Brother Di Xiao, with your aptitude, you don't need to pursue cultivation too early. It's best for you to build your foundation now. This way you can get higher aptitude, and it will be easier to cultivate in the future, and you will be able to go further in the future."

"Besides, the military also has regulations. The method of cultivation must be exchanged for merit, so..."

Xue Ping obviously wanted Di Xiao to continue practicing the Art of Cutting Off Pollution, and didn't want Di Xiao to waste his talents.

Di Xiao understood and nodded: "Okay, then I will continue to practice the Slashing Pollution Technique."

There is no way. Judging from Xue Ping's attitude, he doesn't want to expose himself to more cultivation methods for the time being.

What could Emperor Xiao say about this? He could only choose to continue practicing the Cleansing Technique.

Thinking of this, Di Xiao continued to practice.

The second level of practicing the "Zhanwu Jue" is to draw the spiritual energy into the body, blend the spiritual energy with the qi and blood, and then use a special method to make the qi and blood brush one's own bone marrow.

Thinking of this, Di Xiao also began to practice.

The vast and surging qi and blood penetrate into one's bone marrow, starting a new round of blood transfusion.

If the pain brought by the first level of cultivation was at most bone rupture, but now that the spiritual energy has entered the body, the pain brought is like throwing a person into an oil pan or a volcano. The spiritual energy seems to be born holy and cannot see filth. So after the spiritual energy is integrated into the bone marrow, it is like encountering an enemy. They start fighting each other, and the pain is really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Di Xiao was determined and quickly put aside the pain and continued to practice.

Xue Ping looked at Di Xiao, who practiced the second level of the Slashing Dirt Technique so easily without even screaming in pain, and could not help but admire him: "Good, good... As expected of you, brother Di Xiao. Even practicing the second level of the Slashing Dirt Technique did not affect you due to the pain it brought. You are a real man, and a genius."

Having said this, he also ordered the veterans to bring a lot of food and resources.

In the blink of an eye, the three years of training for the recruits have come to an end.

After three years of training, many new recruits have grown a lot. Most of them have perfected their Qi and Blood and started to practice the "Cut the Pollution Technique".

However, among the countless new recruits, only a few were able to cultivate the first level of the Waste-Slaying Technique to perfection within three years.

In this regard, Xue Ping could only sigh that the path of cultivation for the human race was becoming increasingly difficult.

Of course, this difficulty is nothing to Di Xiao. Di Xiao is also the most valued and favored recruit in this recruit camp.

Not only does it provide all-round training, but it also has many resources to bless it. Of course, most of these resources are very ordinary resources and are of little use to real practitioners.

Emperor Xiao ate dragon meat and the flesh of the demon race that was very nourishing and tempered every day, plus many medicinal herbs full of spiritual energy, to complete blood transfusions time and time again.

Drawing in spiritual energy to temper the bone marrow and then causing self-blood transfusion, the various effects brought about are absolutely incomparable to the first level.

Every blood transfusion now is a rebirth for Emperor Xiao. Every time, Emperor Xiao's flesh and blood will explode, shattered to the ground, and finally pieced together into a dilapidated old body.

It can be said that the current Emperor Xiao has lived his life one hundred and eight times.

Yes, that's one hundred and eight times. Emperor Xiao looked at the wreckage, felt the scattered blood, and felt a faint fragrance and spiritual energy: "Huh... The second level of the Slaughtering Technique has been cultivated to perfection. In this way, my Slaughtering Technique can also be considered to have been cultivated to perfection."

"But these 108 transformations are really torture."

Although he said this, he could feel the closeness of the spiritual energy and the large amount of spiritual energy flowing into his body, and he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied. Obviously, Di Xiao, who had cultivated to the first level, could only draw a small amount of spiritual energy at a time.

The amount of spiritual energy that can be attracted now is definitely hundreds of times more than before.

The surging spiritual energy made Di Xiao perfect and also raised Di Xiao's qualifications to a very strong level.

Xue Ping was extremely satisfied as he watched, and was filled with emotion: "In just three years, he has cultivated the Art of Slaying Pollution to perfection. This speed is rarely matched by the human race. Moreover, after cultivating to perfection, the aptitude of the Dixiao brothers far exceeds that of 90% of the human race today. And with such aptitude, it should be no problem for them to cultivate to the realm of Xuanxian."

"What do you mean?" Di Xiao asked in confusion. Speaking of which, in these years, Xue Ping rarely mentioned the method of cultivation and the cognition of cultivation in order to make Di Xiao persist in practicing the Slashing Pollution Technique.
