Bai Xiaowen's question was a little low-end.
However, Chen Rong also knew that Bai Xiaowen was not a professional, but an itinerant cultivator. She was not surprised, but explained in detail.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Wang, whether a demon's demonic arts can be cultivated depends on the type of demon. The Tree Demon is an ancient scholar tree. Its demonic power is inclined toward the wood attribute and is rich in vitality. It is actually somewhat similar to the elemental energy of us cultivators. Of course, we can cultivate the demonic arts it cultivates. "
Bai Xiaowen understood Chen Rong's unspoken words.
The Tree Demon was a living demon, so the Wood Incarnation could be learned. If it were a demon with a negative energy body, such as the vampire from before, their skills could not be learned by cultivators.
Chen Rong obviously did not think highly of the Wood Incarnation skill. This was because the Wood Incarnation was weak to begin with. Its movements were stiff and slow, and it could not even use skills. It was only a decoration.
Normal cultivators were more cautious about the choice of Dao techniques. They would rather go without than have something substandard. This was because learning Dao techniques would take up a lot of time and energy. It was better not to bite off more than one could chew. It was better to only choose a few Dao techniques and study them carefully.
The world of evolvers was extremely realistic. Skills basically had no cooldown time. It was very normal to be able to dominate the world with one skill. So what if you learned a lot of skills? If you were sloppy in all of them, you could only be at the mercy of others if you were seriously injured in one move.
Bai Xiaowen accepted the Wood Incarnation demonic arts cultivation book. His comprehension ability was extremely strong, and his learning speed was much faster than normal cultivators.
Although the Wood Incarnation's combat power was relatively weak, it still had its advantages. It would definitely come in handy in certain dangerous situations during the exploration of the Spirit Realm.
The Tree Demon's incarnation could deceive Bai Xiaowen's Eye of Evolution. Although it was because Bai Xiaowen did not use his elemental energy to activate the Eye of Evolution to scan, it was enough to see the ingenuity of the Wood Incarnation demonic art. If Bai Xiaowen's eight priority elemental energy was combined, the possibility of being seen through would be lower.
Unlike the Awakened's plane, the Wood Avatar's cultivation book couldn't be learned in one go. Instead, it had to be slowly comprehended and studied.
After Bai Xiaowen took away the Wood Incarnation's cultivation book, some of the spiritual materials and treasures in the Ancient Locust Tree Demon's lair belonged to Chen Rong. Bai Xiaowen had no objections to this.
Back at the inn, Chen Rong taught Bai Xiaowen how to cultivate the soul.
The foundation of the spiritual sense method was "thought".
Cultivators were able to separate a trace of their consciousness and leave their bodies. For example, Bai Xiaowen had already learned illusionary Dao techniques and puppet-controlling techniques. They were all about using a sliver of consciousness to control illusions and puppets.
This trace of consciousness was a "thought", also known as "spiritual sense".
To cultivate spiritual sense, one only needed to refine one's spiritual sense into thousands of scattered thoughts. When they were combined into one, it would become spiritual sense. This was the so-called "thousands of thoughts in a single thought".
It was worth mentioning that only evolvers who possessed elemental energy could learn spiritual awareness.
What kind of evolvers possessed elemental energy?
It was very simple. Evolvers who specialized in mental strength.
The rest of the evolvers, regardless of whether they were strength-type, agility-type, or physique-type, possessed warrior-type energy such as "earth energy" or "battle energy".
Although warrior-type professions (martial arts masters) like Chen Meng couldn't learn spiritual awareness, their combat intuition was very strong. They could often sense approaching danger in advance. However, they couldn't use this intuition to search and sense a large area. This was inferior to spiritual awareness.
Because Bai Xiaowen had a foundation, he quickly learned the spiritual sense method. This was the same as the Inner Vision method. It was a knowledge-based ability. There was no beginner, advanced, or proficient level of mastery.
Chen Rong praised him repeatedly, "Brother Lyu, your aptitude is extremely high. I am ashamed of my inferiority. Among the younger generation of Shangqing school, I'm afraid that only two seniors are comparable to you. It's a pity that you already have the cultivation foundation of another school, so you can't join Shangqing school. "
Chen Rong changed his way of addressing him as "Brother Lyu". It sounded more intimate than "Fellow Daoist Lyu".
Bai Xiaowen cooperated and revealed a regretful expression.
Chen Rong said again, "Brother Lyu, Shangqing school will be holding a Dao discussion next month. I wonder if you would like to come and watch the ceremony?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "If I have time, I will definitely go."
Chen Rong smiled and nodded. He took out a jade tablet that was two fingers wide and handed it to Bai Xiaowen. "This is the invitation for the Dao discussion. When the time comes, Brother Lyu just needs to show it to the gatekeeper and you will be allowed to enter."
Bai Xiaowen took it and thanked him again.
Chen Rong said again, "It's really a blessing to meet such a talented person like Brother Lyu on this trip to the north to eliminate demons …"
Bai Xiaowen's charm was very high. Although this young cultivator girl wasn't an ordinary woman, she couldn't help but be attracted by Bai Xiaowen's appearance and temperament.
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
A martial artist from the caravan rushed over and said anxiously, "Young Miss, bad news!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Rong and Bai Xiaowen looked at each other and asked as they got up and went out.
It was a mess outside the door. A large group of commoners with tattered clothes and emaciated faces blocked the inn's door with manure forks, kitchen knives, and other objects. They were noisy and agitated.
The martial artist said angrily, "Young Miss spent a lot of effort to help Old Scholar Town get rid of the demons. Instead of thanking us, these foolish commoners want to chase us away!"
Chen Rong frowned and quickly stepped forward.
At this moment, Chen Meng was leading a group of workers and confronting the townspeople.
Chen Rong came to Chen Meng's side and angrily scolded the townspeople, "What are you doing? Don't you know that our caravan got rid of the demons from the Ancient Buddhist Temple in the western suburbs last night and saved everyone in town? Are you trying to repay our kindness with ingratitude? "
The leader of the townspeople said loudly, "Who needs your help?"
A few voices echoed behind him.
"If you get rid of the demons and leave, even fiercer demons will come later. More people will die!"
"That's right! The demons from the Ancient Buddhist Temple are considered law-abiding. They eat less than ten people every month and can even protect the town from other demons. "
Chen Rong was so angry that he laughed. "You say that the demons are law-abiding? We're killing demons, but we're the ones breaking the rules? "
"That's right!"
"It's you who harmed Old Scholar Town!"
The townspeople shouted in unison.
Bai Xiaowen understood and extended his hand to stop Chen Rong. "It's not hard to find the reason why these townspeople are hostile to us."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "First, the demons from the Ancient Buddhist Temple only eat passersby and caravans. If there's enough blood, they won't eat the locals of Old Scholar Town. Second, the demons are running rampant now. With the death of the Ancient Scholar Tree Demon, there might be many other demons in the surrounding areas who will quickly come to seize the Ancient Scholar Tree Demon's territory. The new demons might not be as restrained in eating humans as the Ancient Scholar Tree Demon. "
