The person spoke in such an obscure manner, yet did not clarify things directly.
Lingfeng did not understand what the person meant by dreams being a kind of reality, that dreams arise from the heart; it all seemed like nonsense and did not provide a straightforward answer to Lingfeng's question.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I just want to know how I can return to reality!" Lingfeng began to feel a bit impatient.
The person still appeared leisurely, starting to speak grandly, "What is the reality like, and what is the virtual world like? That world may be wonderful, but here, you can have whatever you desire. Isn't that better?"
Lingfeng stared at the person but still could not discern his appearance. Why was he Lingfeng, and Lingfeng was him? Lingfeng did not understand, but he knew there were still things he needed to do in that world. Even though he could have everything here, if he had no friends and no challenges, what was the point of living alone in this place?
The person seemed to see through Lingfeng's heart and smiled, saying, "This world has everything you want: friends, money, power, women! As long as you desire them, they will appear before you immediately!"
Lingfeng looked at the person in surprise, feeling an infinite melancholy within him. He frowned and asked, "Can you see into my heart?"
The person pondered for a moment and said, "I am you; you are me!"
"Hmph!" Lingfeng scoffed and said, "Are you my Evil Thoughts?"
In the entire world, perhaps only one's own Evil Thoughts could perceive inner thoughts without missing a detail. And Evil Thoughts were the source of those terrifying ideas in one's mind.
However, at that moment, Lingfeng had no wicked thoughts; how did Evil Thoughts come about?
"Yes, I am your Evil Thoughts. Don't be surprised by my presence; everything has a cause and effect. You should have guessed the reason for my appearance."
"Because of Falling Leaf Technique, right?" Lingfeng answered without hesitation.
"Hahaha..." The person laughed arrogantly, and after a while said, "Have you really embarked on the path of Demon Cultivation and not realized it?"
Lingfeng certainly knew that he had stepped onto the path of Demon Cultivation; he just didn't believe that Evil Thoughts would appear so quickly. Given Lingfeng's current strength, it was likely that Evil Thoughts wouldn't be very strong either.
"Since it has appeared, I might as well cut you down!" With this thought, Lingfeng casually picked up the Connecting Rod and suddenly struck at Evil Thoughts.
However, the Connecting Rod passed through Evil Thoughts as if striking at an illusory shadow.
"Hahaha..." Evil Thoughts laughed recklessly, as if Lingfeng's actions were amusing. "Although my strength is not strong, you have not yet reached the level to cut me down! Remember, I will always be with you, always..."
As Evil Thoughts disappeared, light gradually appeared around Lingfeng. Then, Lingfeng opened his eyes and saw a familiar room and the familiar Mei.
Mei looked at Lingfeng with a worried expression, tears shimmering in her bright eyes. Seeing Lingfeng awake, she hurriedly said, "Ah, Lingfeng, you're awake!"
Lingfeng shook his head, feeling a bit dazed.
"What happened to me?"
"You went to the White Jade Escort Agency, and when you came back, you became like this!" Mei said.
Lingfeng recalled what had happened earlier and vaguely remembered the reason for his fainting.
"I fainted because I overexerted my spiritual energy; you don't need to worry!" Lingfeng replied.
Mei breathed a sigh of relief and squinted her eyes. "Wait a moment; I'll go make something to eat!" She did not ask about the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord.
Lingfeng sighed; today had truly been perilous. Not only had he failed to find the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord, but he had also nearly lost his life.
"Mei!" Lingfeng hurriedly grabbed Mei's hand.
Mei shuddered violently and stopped in her tracks.
"I'm sorry!" Lingfeng said in a low voice.
Mei smiled lightly, showing no signs of displeasure, and comforted him, "It's okay. My grandfather must have been taken to a hidden place by them. Besides, the White Jade Escort Agency is filled with experts. You don't need to blame yourself for what happened!"
Mei's understanding nature moved Lingfeng deeply, and he vowed that he would not set off until he rescued Grandfather Mei.
After dinner, Lingfeng sat on the bed and began to circulate his spiritual energy. However, it seemed that a significant amount of energy had been consumed this time. After resting for a while, he still felt somewhat empty inside. He then drank a bowl of Thousand-Year Ginseng Root Soup, but after some time, he still felt nothing.
"Strange. Normally, my spiritual energy would have recovered to about seventy or eighty percent by now. Why do I still feel so hollow?" Lingfeng muttered to himself in confusion.
Mei poured a cup of tea and said softly, "I once heard my grandfather say that what cultivators fear most is having no Spiritual Energy left. Moreover, every time you use Spiritual Energy, you must not deplete it completely; otherwise, you'll have to spend a lot of time accumulating it again!"
Lingfeng nodded; he was aware of these things as well. "I've already preserved thirty percent of my Spiritual Energy inside me. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be this difficult to recover!"
Mei looked at Lingfeng with a hesitant gaze, as if she had something difficult to say.
Seeing this, Lingfeng smiled and said, "Mei, feel free to speak your mind!"
"Actually..." Mei nodded and then hesitated before saying, "Actually, today I noticed that you were emanating a purple light. I once heard my grandfather mention a technique called the Falling Leaf Technique. Anyone who masters the Falling Leaf Technique will emit a protective purple aura..."
At this point, Lingfeng was slightly taken aback, thinking that the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord must be someone extraordinary; otherwise, how would he know that a purple protective membrane would appear after mastering the Falling Leaf Technique? However, Lingfeng did not interrupt Mei and quietly listened.
"So, I believe that the reason you cannot recover your Spiritual Energy is not that it is absent, but rather that all the Spiritual Energy that appears has been absorbed by Demonic Energy!"
"Demonic Energy absorption?" Lingfeng was puzzled; this was the first time he had heard of such a method.
Mei paused for a moment and then said, "So, I want to ask you, are you currently practicing the Falling Leaf Technique?"
"Uh~~!" Lingfeng looked at Mei and thought that she was not a bad person. There was no harm in telling her about his situation; it might even help him. He replied honestly, "Yes, I am indeed practicing the Falling Leaf Technique. However, I am practicing the Upper Section of the Fallen Leaf Decision, not the Lower Section's Mind Method!"
If Lingfeng were to follow his own method, he probably hadn't even successfully practiced the Upper Section yet. For such a long time, Lingfeng had not felt any benefits from the Falling Leaf Technique. However, after seeing Ziren's abilities, he felt that the Mind Method of the Falling Leaf Technique was truly the essential part.
Upon hearing Lingfeng's words, Mei suddenly furrowed her brows and asked, "You haven't practiced the Mind Method part?"
"Hehe!" Lingfeng chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I don't have the Mind Method of the Falling Leaf Technique at all. But now I know where to find it!"
"Lingfeng, how can you still laugh? Do you know that the two parts of the Falling Leaf Technique cannot be practiced separately?"
Seeing Mei's suddenly anxious expression, Lingfeng felt inexplicably confused and asked in disbelief, "Since they are divided into two parts, I naturally know they need to be practiced together! It's just that while I have the Upper Section of the Falling Leaf Technique, I do not have its Mind Method."
"Then where is the Mind Method?" Mei hurriedly asked.
"It's with Ziren at the White Jade Escort Agency!" After several encounters with Ziren, Lingfeng had already guessed that Ziren might be practicing the Falling Leaf Technique. However, after today's battle, Lingfeng was certain that Ziren was indeed practicing the Mind Method of the Falling Leaf Technique.
Mei's brows finally relaxed a bit. After a moment of silence, she instructed, "Lingfeng, from now on, you must not use any Spells. Every morning at sunrise until the moon is high in the sky at night, you must practice the Upper Section of the Falling Leaf Technique. This will help you elevate your mastery of it to a higher level and will also aid in quickly replenishing your Spiritual Energy!"
Lingfeng showed a puzzled expression, not understanding why it had to be this way.
Mei continued, "My grandfather once told me many things about the Falling Leaf Technique. He said that in the early morning, when the sun has just risen, it is the time when the yang energy between the earth is at its peak, making Cultivation easiest. In contrast, when the moon rises high in the evening, it is the time when the yin energy is strongest. Cultivating during this time helps to balance the yin and yang within the body. The reason your Spiritual Energy hasn't recovered is actually because the Demonic Energy cultivated from the Falling Leaf Technique has assimilated it. As for why you can't feel it, that's because your cultivation isn't up to par!"
In fact, practicing during these two time periods not only achieves a balance of yin and yang but also allows for dual cultivation of Spiritual Energy and Demonic Energy. However, to achieve dual cultivation of both energies, one must possess the aptitude for Celestial and Demonic dual cultivation.
The so-called Spiritual Energy represents yang, while Demonic Energy represents yin. If a person capable of Celestial and Demonic dual cultivation cannot ensure a balance between their internal coolness and Demonic Energy, then the two energies within them will devour each other.
Of course, Lingfeng did not understand these concepts. Mei also did not fully grasp them; although her grandfather was knowledgeable, individuals with the recognized aptitude for Celestial and Demonic dual cultivation were indeed rare, so he had not shared this information with her.
Lingfeng was half-convinced by Mei's words. That night, she carefully chose the right time and quietly practiced Cultivation in the courtyard, focusing on the Falling Leaf Technique.
Although it was just an experiment, the results exceeded Lingfeng's expectations.
After practicing the entire set of Falling Leaf Technique, Lingfeng felt an overwhelming surge of power throughout her body. Her Dantian gradually began to fill with energy, no longer feeling empty.
By the next morning, Lingfeng repeatedly practiced the Falling Leaf Technique. When sunrise arrived, she confidently resumed her practice. By noon, she felt her muscles in an unprecedented state of explosive energy. That feeling was indescribable and left Lingfeng exhilarated.
