Chapter 243 Cultivation and Magic
Chapter 243 Cultivation and Magic
Da Mu ran into the tribe first, and soon he could be heard crying loudly: "Mom, mom, why did you die? Woo woo..."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly during the day. This was really embarrassing. People started dying as soon as he arrived here!
Before he could think about it, two men from the tribe came over. Bai Tian still told them that he was a Taoist who got lost in the mountains.
Hearing that Bai Tian could speak Mandarin and was a Taoist, the people of Jishan tribe were very excited and brought him to the center of the team.
There were three people lying on the ground, two men and one woman, their faces blue. Needless to say, the woman was Damu's mother, and she was dead.
On the contrary, the other two men were not dead yet, but they were dying.
During the day, I squatted down to examine the two men's bodies and quickly discovered bite marks on their ankles. Judging from the wounds, it was probably a snake, but it was unlikely to be a large one.
Bai Tian didn't know much about snake venom, but he knew that the best way to deal with it was bloodletting!
During the day, he asked for a dagger and bled the two men, but later found that the poison was so strong that both men had difficulty breathing.
This really made Bai Tian feel troubled. Since bloodletting didn't work, the only option he could use was spiritual energy or feed them blood.
But he hadn't recovered his strength during the day, and there wasn't much spiritual energy left in his body. Using spiritual energy to heal injuries was very risky and could easily kill him.
He couldn't feed him blood in front of so many people during the day. If they found out his blood was special, they might attack him...
Just when Bai Tian was in trouble, Ji Xuan squeezed over and whispered, "I, I know what to do."
The adult next to him immediately became dissatisfied: "Ji Xuan, stop talking nonsense, what do you know?"
Ji Xuan was anxious: "I really understand. I was bitten before, and I fixed it myself."
Seeing the adults scolding Ji Xuan, Bai Tian intervened in time: "Since it has come to this, let Ji Xuan give it a try."
Then Bai Tian looked at Ji Xuan and asked, "Ji Xuan, do you have any good ideas?"
Ji Xuan explained in a low voice: "They were bitten by a very small snake, a very small flying snake. But there is a kind of grass that flying snakes are very afraid of... I will go find it."
Ji Xuan ran into the woods and came back after about five minutes, holding a grass that looked like seven leaves.
Ji Xuan chewed the herbs first, then applied them to the wounds of the two people. After that, Ji Xuan continued to press on the two people, from their hearts to the bite points on their calves.
I was amazed when I saw this during the day. The young man's technique was very skillful and he was truly a promising medical student.
While Ji Xuan was rescuing them, he went into the woods during the day to find some herbs. When he came back, the two men's conditions had not improved, but they were not dead either.
During the day, he took the herbs he had found, combined them with the herbs Ji Xuan had given him, squeezed out some medicinal juice and fed it to the two of them.
Soon, the two finally stabilized. Although still unconscious, their complexions had improved considerably, and their breathing had evened out...
Fearing the appearance of other flying snakes, the group quickly moved on. As for Da Mu's mother, she wasn't even buried.
At night, the team found a relatively open area and built fires in four directions.
Many people in the Jishan tribe practiced cultivation, and they were all happy to do so. Both men and women would practice cultivation during their nights.
This atmosphere really touched Bai Tian. Only by constantly becoming stronger can humans continue to survive in this cruel society...
However, the trouble began during the day. Many people came to him to discuss problems with their cultivation. Gradually, he was surrounded by people during the day, and all kinds of cultivation problems were heard around him.
Listening to the chatter during the day made my head explode. He asked everyone to quiet down, and then he told everyone the problems one by one and then summarized them.
It was soon discovered during the day that although they all knew how to practice, they had no one to guide them, and many of them were actually still in the exploratory stage.
Although Taoists will leave behind some techniques after spreading their teachings, the practice during this period is relatively crude and the techniques are quite abstruse. It is indeed difficult to make progress without someone to guide you.
So for a long time afterwards, Bai Tian became a true Taoist...
One night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Bai Tian was sitting in meditation when Ji Xuan came over and whispered, "Brother Bai Tian, I have a question I want to talk to you about."
Bai Tian opened his eyes slightly strangely and said, "You say."
Ji Xuan took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Here's what I think. When we humans cultivate, we can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This spiritual energy can make us very powerful, and even allow us to fly. So, is it possible that once we have power, we can release some... how should I put it, like when there's thunder, or control our weapons to fly..."
Bai Tian's cheek twitched slightly, and he whispered, "You're talking about martial arts, or perhaps magic. It's actually possible, but there aren't many people researching this right now, and progress is relatively slow."
Regarding spells and martial arts, he also studied them during the day. He currently had only a few spells he could cast, and lightning was one of them.
Once you have power, you must think about how to release it to maximize damage.
Ji Xuan continued, "Brother Bai Tian, what do you think? When we humans no longer need to eat and are not as afraid of ferocious beasts, will our bodies become weaker and weaker? We just need to learn cultivation and magic. We don't need to be as strong and rigid as we are now."
Bai Tian's face was full of strangeness: "Ji Xuan, why do you think so?"
Ji Xuan blushed slightly and scratched his head: "I, I'm still thin, they always laugh at me."
Bai Tian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It doesn't matter, actually. Cultivation itself is based on a strong body. Even if you learn cultivation and magic, a strong body should make it easier to exert your power."
"Oh, okay." Ji Xuan was slightly disappointed.
Bai Tian smiled and said, "Ji Xuan, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you have the ability to fight, that's all."
Ji Xuan still looked very disappointed. He was silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Brother Bai Tian, if I study magic first and then practice, would it be better?"
Bai Tian really couldn't answer this question, after all, he had never tried it. "Or, you can give it a try..."
After hearing what Bai Tian said, Ji Xuan immediately ran away excitedly.
I didn’t pay much attention to it during the day and continued to sit in meditation with my eyes closed.
Roar!
A dragon's roar suddenly pierced the still night sky. Bai Tian's mind was instantly shaken, and he quickly stood up. He released his spiritual sense, but couldn't detect the source of the sound. Bai Tian immediately called out to the tribesmen, "Stay put, I'll go check it out."
How could there be the sound of a dragon in this forest?
They flew through the woods and soon saw in the daytime a dragon fighting a ferocious beast in the sky.
It’s Qinglong!
As for that ferocious beast, it feels strange, very familiar...
