Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

After Gu Yang and Hu Qing cleaned up the practice room, they went to the living room to take out the coffee table, only to find that they had not bought any tea.

Elder Han soon arrived at their residence, and bursts of knocking sounds came from outside the courtyard gate.

The two men opened the door, and Elder Han scanned Gu Yang with his spiritual sense.

There was a hint of understanding in his eyes, as if he had already anticipated all this.

"It's you, I wasn't mistaken. Tell me, what's going on?"

The two men brought Elder Han into the living room and told him everything that had happened to the inner demon before, adding more details to the story.

"So, Elder Han, what is going on?" Gu Yang's voice was filled with anxiety.

He was just one step away from the truth of that year, but ended up coming back like this. How could he be willing to accept this?

Elder Han smiled and soothed Gu Yang's emotions, saying:

"You two little guys, it's not that easy to eliminate your inner demons. The place just now is exactly where your inner demons are. But you are weak, and your inner demons have not yet been nurtured. As long as you understand your situation, this little demon will naturally disappear."

"If I break through to the foundation-building stage, will my inner demon still be there?" Gu Yang was extremely anxious. This was a rare opportunity.

"Inner demons are people's inner obsessions. According to common sense, the deeper the obsession in your heart, the greater the chance that the inner demon will remain unchanged as your realm increases." Elder Han was also a little confused. This situation is relatively rare.

Logically speaking, wouldn't it be easier to resolve the inner demon? Why are you still holding on to it?

After thinking for a moment, he reminded, "It's not that the more you cling to this thing, the better. As your realm rises, your obsession will also become stronger. If you force yourself to cling to this inner demon, it may very well endanger your life."

Gu Yang was also discouraged when he heard this. No matter how stubborn he was, he couldn't kill Hu Qing.

Hu Qing saw that Gu Yang was absent-minded and didn't say anything. After talking with Elder Han for a while, he went out to see him off.

Hu Qing locked the gate of the courtyard. It was already dark outside. They had been practicing for a whole day.

But the snow did stop, and the plum tree in the yard became more and more beautiful. He broke off two branches and brought them back to the living room, then put them in a vase to add some vitality.

Gu Yang sat on the stairs, lowered his head and hugged his legs, feeling like he was about to fall apart.

Hu Qing sat beside him, and neither of them spoke. The lights in the room gradually dimmed, swallowing the two of them in darkness.

"Aren't you going to be the master of Mengfeng? Why are you scared of such a small problem? Is this inner demon so powerful that it actually scared you." Hu Qing's voice sounded in the darkness.

"I'm not afraid of this, I'm afraid that I will kill you! I... I have already killed my father and mother, I can't lose you again." Gu Yang's emotions fluctuated violently.

"What you said is true. Aren't we brothers? We share the relationship of life and death. How can you say that? What does your parents' death have to do with you?" Hu Qing comforted him.

He wasn't very good at comforting people, so he could only ask them to open up and say what they could, so that they could be better prepared to face their inner demons next time.

Gu Yang's emotions also stabilized, mainly because today's shock was too great for him. This "Great Dream Art" was indeed not something that ordinary people could practice.

"That day I told my mother that I wanted to go to school so that I could reduce their burden. My father was very pleased, but our family was poor and we couldn't afford the tuition.

After they discussed it, my father decided to go hunting again before winter so that he would have more money to send me to school in the spring.

At noon that day, my father went to the nearby Qingtian Mountain and didn't return until evening, so my mother went out alone to look for him. However, not long after she left, a heavy snowstorm hit, blocking the entire Qingtian Mountain.

Gu Yang's face showed a look of pain, his body rose and fell unconsciously, his mood became increasingly depressed, and he slowly said:

"When the snow stopped, I ran to the home of the old village chief and begged him to take me up the mountain to look for my parents. The village chief then led all the young and strong men in the village to look for them.

Their remains were eventually found on a cliff, most of them having been eaten by snow wolves."

After saying these words, Gu Yang collapsed on the stairs, staring blankly at the wall.

"That wasn't your fault. Maybe there's something else going on. We need to cultivate first. It would be best if we could completely eliminate this inner demon during the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Hu Qing stood up, put his hands on Gu Yang's shoulders, and encouraged him.

"Don't we still need to see what's on sale in the store? Come quickly, or I'll spend all your contribution points."

As Hu Qing was talking, he ran to the second floor and took the token from Gu Yang's arms.

Gu Yang felt better and stood up to chase after Hu Qing, "That's mine! I want to buy something too!"

The two of them leaned against the head of the bed, the air was filled with a faint plum fragrance, the plum blossoms downstairs became more fragrant after being baptized by the blizzard, and occasionally a few crisp bird calls could be heard outside the window.

The cool night breeze blew in through the window, calming the emotions of the two. They opened the light screen of the token and clicked on the store they had been looking forward to for a long time.

The page jumps, and there is a wide variety of goods here, from elixirs to spiritual weapons, from skills to pets, each of which exudes a heart-warming light.

"This... this is really..." Gu Yang stuttered, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a whole new world.

Hu Qing was also shocked. He had never thought that such a rich treasure trove could be hidden in a small sect token.

Isn’t this the same as Taobao, JD.com, and Pinxixi that he used before?

There actually is an online shopping platform, so can it also be used for live streaming and selling goods?

His eyes swept across the light screen quickly, and every item seemed to be waving at him, tempting him to explore and own it.

"Look, this is the seventh-grade 'Xianling Pill', which is said to be able to increase the speed of cultivation!" Gu Yang pointed to an inconspicuous blue bottle, his eyes full of desire.

Hu Qing's attention was also attracted over there. He knew the value of this elixir. It was a treasure that all cultivators dreamed of.

"Price: 150,000 Contribution Points"

Why not grab this? If you can’t afford it, look at something else.

His fingers slid gently, and the products on the screen turned pages. Each product was like a new world, waiting for them to explore.

He really found the same feeling as when he shopped online before. He could even search for the items he wanted. So he prepared to look for materials to cover up his spiritual sense. This puppet had to be able to be taken out at least.

"And this, the top-grade spiritual weapon 'Flowing Light Sword'. This sword light... is like a living thing!"

Gu Yang pointed to a long sword with intricate patterns engraved on the hilt. The sword seemed to have flowing light through it, and it was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
