Chapter 267 - 267 A new choice

Looking at Little Black who had a confused look on his face, Shun Long continued

''No matter what, in the future, Mei'er is doomed to fall far behind me in cultivation, if things continue like this.

Even though the 'Monarch's Hourglass' required seems to need more qi than other people in order for me to advance, with the foggy space in the 'Stone of Time' and the 'Heavenly swallowing vine', the gap will only grow between us in the future.

Even the dual cultivation technique that I got from Cui Guoliang won't be enough by then!''

Little Black however shook his head in response, and with a serious look in his deep azure eyes he said

''Master, no matter what, you are destined to leave everyone else behind as you cultivate.

There are very few people who will be able to keep up with your cultivation speed in the future. and the price they will have to pay won't be small.

Even I can only keep up with master's cultivation speed because I have started my cultivation from scratch.''

Shun Long had expected Little Black's answer but he still felt some disappointment deep inside him.

Wouldn't that mean that in the future Liu Mei wouldn't be able to follow him.

Shun Long guessed that with Liu Mei's character, even if he forcibly got her to travel with him in the future, if she felt that she was becoming a burden then she would definitely refuse to stay by his side.

Little Black had a serious look in his eyes as he looked at Shun Long, and after a moment of deliberation he continued

''Actually... there is a cultivation technique that could probably allow her to keep up with master's pace and it is also suitable with her Dao of Death... but the side effects are too serious.''

Shun Long looked at Little Black, who had a deep look in his eyes as he continued

''It's a cultivation technique that master found long ago, and it can also be considered an evil technique, but it is the only way for that little girl to continue following master in the future.''

''An evil technique?''

Shun Long had already heard about evil practitioners.

Although they could be considered normal cultivators as well, and some of them were usually more powerful than other cultivators, the price that they had to pay in exchange for power was enormous.

Evil cultivators were always walking into a thin line, where their mind could fall into depravity at any time, and that could also lead into qi deviation.

If an 'evil cultivator' started to get pleasure from their cultivation technique, then that could lead them to start mindless killing, and once their mental state was disrupted, their entire cultivation could backfire.

Of course, this was in exchange for the evil cultivators' extraordinarily fast breakthrough speed.

From the small pieces of information that he knew, Shun Long assumed that the Demon Emperor palace could also be considered an 'evil sect'.

Taking a deep breath, Shun Long asked

''What are the side effects of this cultivation technique then?''

Little Black nodded his head, as he explained

''First of all, master needs to know how this technique works.

Someone who cultivates in this technique can absorb part of the qi of the cultivators that they personally kill, to advance their own cultivation.

At first glance, this technique seems perfect for that little girl, as the qi from the cultivators that her undead creatures kill will be absorbed by her as well, however... there are 2 major issues.

The first is that it is very easy to fall into depravity by cultivating this technique.

The rapid advancement in cultivation may not even be inferior to master depending on how many people she kills, but that can also lead her to become a crazy murderer.

The second problem is, that every time that she advances a realm in cultivation, she will feel indescribable pain during the breakthrough.

The higher the realm, the bigger the amount of pain that one will have to face.

Shun Long was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, everything in life required a corresponding price to pay.

Shun Long required more qi in order to advance, but thankfully he had the 'Heaven swallowing vine' and the middle-grade spirit stones.

Liu Mei right now wasn't advancing too quickly, but her advancement was stable without any fears of losing control of her self and entering a qi deviation state in the future.

After thinking for a while, Shun Long mumbled to himself

''I will let Mei'er choose for herself.''

Little Black nodded his head when he heard Shun Long's words.

Indeed, it was better to let her choose for herself what path she wanted to follow.

Each path had its own dangers and risks after all.

After setting this matter aside for now, Shun Long took out his medicinal cauldron and started to warm it with his qi flames, in preparation of the new pill that he was about to create.

Taking out a rank 4 medicinal herb that looked like a green-colored fruit from the herb garden, along with almost a dozen more rank 3 herbs, Shun Long started adding everything inside the cauldron one by one.

The rank 4 green-colored fruit was saved for last, and after tearing it in half and pouring its emerald-colored juice inside the cauldron, Shun Long closed the cauldron's lid as he thought to himself

''By adding the essence extract of the 'Wind Sea jade fruit' last, none of its essence will be lost in the early stages of the refinement due to the high temperature. This should offset the fact that I didn't have the claws or the heart of a 'Five-clawed darkness wolf' to use during the pill creation.''

An hour later, a burst of medicinal fragrance exploded from the cauldron as Shun Long lifted up the cauldron's lid, where 5 light green pills were lying inside.

The pills were shining with a green light, while a refreshing scent had filled the air around Shun Long.

Sigh

Shun Long sighed lightly but he had still expected the scene in front of him, and without too much disappointment in his eyes, he gathered the 5 pills and placed them all inside a pill bottle.

''It's too bad that there were no 'Five-clawed darkness wolves' for sale in the Heaven's Dome city, otherwise, these 'Spiritual wind jade pills' would have all reached the top-grade.''

No matter how good Shun Long's skills in alchemy may have been, or whether he had perfect knowledge of the medicinal herbs that he was using or not, if he didn't have enough alchemy ingredients, then he would be unable to create top-grade pills every time.

Some specific pills, required the corpses or parts of certain magic beasts, and it was the same for these rank 4 'Spiritual wind jade pills'.

Shun Long didn't need to recover his spiritual strength, and after taking out another batch of ingredients, he started refining another batch of pills.

A little more than 3 days had passed inside the foggy space while almost 7 hours had gone by in the outside world.

Shun Long had refined almost 60 high-grade rank 4 'Spiritual wind jade pills', while 3 of them had managed to reach the top-grade.

After sorting everything else, Shun Long closed his eyes and imagined himself leaving the 'foggy space', before he once again appeared inside the room, on the second floor of the shop.
