232: Chapter 30: Can enjoy internal benefits 232: Chapter 30: Can enjoy internal benefits If I had a choice, I’d like to be a good person.
That was the true thought in Li Mumu’s heart.
What the heck are demons?
There are twelve pathways to immortal cultivation, with forty career paths combining the Righteous Path and the Heretical Path, and you want me to cultivate the Path of Demons?
Why on earth?
Just because I look like a demon or evil spirit?
I’ve made contributions to the party and the country!
I want to see the director!
Seeing Li Mumu’s eyes widen with a look of wanting to leap up and devour someone, Yaoqin explained helplessly, “This is just my personal suggestion, and it’s also for the purpose of revising and perfecting the ‘demon’ cultivation technique since it’s difficult to find live demons and evil spirits these days…
Okay, I know what you want to say.
You’ll get to choose for yourself in a bit.”
What does it mean that live demons and evil spirits are hard to capture?
So you are still insulting me, aren’t you?
Li Mumu was very angry, feeling her dignity had been insulted.
It wasn’t until Yaoqin took her to the general affairs office and called Sister Gu to use the key to open the vault door, pulling out the treasured items from the bottom of the trunk.
Four large cardboard boxes, filled with thread-bound books.
The words “Azure Dragon,” “White Tiger,” “Vermilion Bird,” and “Black Tortoise” were written casually in pencil on the outside.
Are your Divine Skill Secret Manuals sold by the box here?
Suddenly they seem so cheap!
But thinking about the “The Sutra of Guiding the Deceased to the Afterlife” she bought from the Hall of Peace for not much money, Li Mumu couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.
“Let’s see, Dharma Gates that are more suitable for you include…
Demon, Priest, and Witch Doctor, all from the White Tiger series.
Ranger and Uncivilized People…
you might be interested, but I really don’t recommend them.”
Yaoqin rummaged through the boxes for a while, and pulled out a whole stack of books for Li Mumu to inspect.
Demon – Righteous Path “Beiming Heart Method”
Demon – Heretical Path “Blood Transformation Divine Skill”
Priest – Righteous Path “Nine Songs of Hedgerow”
Priest – Heretical Path “Red Lotus Life-Transference Scripture”
Witch Doctor – Righteous Path “Prayers for Heaven’s Secret Technique”
Witch Doctor – Heretical Path “Lustrous Original Wish Sutra”
Ranger – Righteous Path “Imperial Sword”
Ranger – Heretical Path “Water Moon Heart Resolution”
Uncivilized People – Righteous Path “Great Wilderness Savage Skill”
Uncivilized People – Heretical Path “Modern Physics”
…
Wait a minute, isn’t there one book that seems a bit out of place?
Are you sure you didn’t grab the wrong one?
No, now is not the time to be picking that out.
Sister, are you really doing wholesale here?
Can I just look through these as I like?
Li Mumu simply picked up a book and flipped through two pages before she knew the content was definitely not just filler—it was packed with solid material.
But wasn’t it too dense?
These were Divine Skill Secret Manuals over which people would fight tooth and nail, not a $12 buffet with forty dishes!
I can’t handle this; my fear of making choices is kicking in.
“Go ahead, pick one!
Don’t be shy!”
Yaoqin crossed her arms and looked down from her superior position at the bewildered Li Mumu, “No worries, just browse.
Whichever book you can understand, start learning that one.
If you find it unsuitable, there are other cultivation methods within the same Dharma Gate, and you can keep choosing.”
Li Mumu thought to herself, what’s there for me to choose.
Don’t the protagonists in the novels start cultivating as soon as they get their hands on the Divine Skill Secret Manuals?
Why do I have to learn it letter by letter?
This is far too inconsiderate.
Don’t you know the portable systems of the future directly impart knowledge…
If only I could take all of this takeout.
I might not want to study them, but having so many Divine Skill Secret Manuals stuffed in my home’s warehouse definitely warms the heart.
Seeing Li Mumu undecided, Yaoqin reached out, took back the books, and left behind only the Demon’s “Beiming Heart Method” and “Blood Transformation Divine Skill,” as well as The Red Lotus Life-Transference Scripture from the Priest.
“I think these few are more suitable for you.
Just by looking at the name of The Red Lotus Life-Transference Scripture, you can tell it’s a continuation of the Taoism from the Holy Mother of Red Lotus.
After removing the Western elements and recompiling it into a book, the advantage is that you have a foundation and will achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating this technique.
The downside is that it’s a Heretical Cultivation Technique that emphasizes skills rather than the Way.
It’s easy to start but has a low ceiling.
If you get along well with the Holy Mother of Red Lotus and like her Taoism lineage, you will eventually have to cultivate the Western ways.”
“As for the Beiming Heart Method, this was the cultivation technique I was originally planning to recommend to you.
Don’t be fooled by its common name; its author is quite prominent…”
“No, no, no, I think this one is very good.
The term ‘Beiming’ has a very profound connotation!”
Li Mumu thought: With the ‘Beiming’ term in it, why wouldn’t I choose it?
Just like how people with the surname Zhuge would be considered wise, no matter what their name is, even if it’s Zhuge Donkey Egg.
With the ‘Beiming’ term included, at the very least it’s a genuine Taoist cultivation method for immortal cultivation—sounds very advanced indeed.
Just don’t know why a cultivation method with such a serious name would be categorized under “Demons.”
Could it be that this Beiming…is the Beiming of the Demon Master Kunpeng?
“And this Blood Transformation Divine Skill, even though it’s a Heretical Cultivation Technique with significant flaws that require someone to revise and complete…”
“I’m not interested in that.”
“But it allows for rapid success, and as long as you meet the requirements, you can begin the same day.”
Oh, well…
“Let’s just go with these three; it’s not too many, I believe in you.”
I really can’t!
I can’t digest so much!
Li Mumu asked cautiously, “Can I start by choosing just one to study first?”
“Of course, no problem at all.
Which one would you like to start with?
The Beiming Heart Method?”
“Yes!”
“Alright, come back to my office, and I’ll give you a brief overview.”
Sister Gu took the other books to the vault, and from inside she pulled out a questionable-looking vial with no label, as well as a metal rod the size of a finger, made of unknown material.
Yaoqin took Li Mumu back to the office and began to explain the contents of the Beiming Heart Method.
The methods of Demons and the Righteous Path consider one as a demon, while the Heretical Path sees one as a devil.
This demon doesn’t refer to a race but to the self-cognition of one’s self.
The core essence of the Twelve Laws is twelve different ways of constructing a worldview, life philosophy, and set of values.
The cultivation methods of the “Demon” law stem from the concept of “Only Me,” which means “I am the center of the universe.”
The next question is—how do you define the concept of “me”?
Originally, the term “demon” was used to describe people with unique thoughts and behaviors or exceptionally beautiful women.
Its essence lies in “being different from the rest.”
The philosophical ideology and self-cognition of “I am different from the rest” are the basic premises for cultivating the Demon Dharma Gate.
This self-cognition is talent.
In ancient times, there was a phrase called “Ye Gong Hao Long,” the details of which need not be explained.
Just like Ye Gong who professed his love for dragons but in reality was terribly frightened by them, he lacked the natural talent to be close to dragons.
Forcing oneself to cultivate a technique that doesn’t align with one’s principles will only lead to disproportionate effort and minimal gains.
Derived from the Demon Dharma Gate, the Heretical Path of “devil” represents a different understanding of “Only Me.”
In one sentence, it’s summed up as “Only I Am Supreme!”
