Not long ago, Allen accompanied Master Shiva for a drink and a chat.
Baihu Wu Zun was drunk and inadvertently revealed his true feelings.
Before Alan showed up, Shiva was the most outstanding genius in the history of Silver Moon Monastery.
Awakened the warlock bloodline at the age of six.
In the following twenty years, we made rapid progress and never encountered any bottleneck!
At the age of twenty-four, he broke through to the fifth level and became the youngest abbot of Silver Moon Monastery since its establishment.
At the age of twenty-seven, he entered the late fifth stage!
Since then, however, Shiva has finally hit the ceiling.
It is very difficult to break through this ceiling and reach the sixth level!
You must pass the twelve trials of the inner demon in the meditation world.
Each trial is equivalent to a 6th level spiritual magic.
The trial taker may not use any external aids.
Rely on your own willpower to resist all kinds of horrific or strange mental hallucinations, mental interference, and not be confused.
With Master Shiva's extraordinary concentration, he has about 70% chance of passing each test individually, which seems not difficult.
However, all twelve trials of the inner demon must be passed at once, and one must remain calm in order to pass.
The probability of passing twelve levels in a row is 0.7 to the 12th power.
Theoretically, the chance of passing it in one go is only one percent.
So hopeless!
Every time I fail to pass a level, I consume a lot of mental energy.
You need to rest for at least a month before trying again.
Master Shiva, I have been stuck at this level for almost two years.
After failing twenty times in a row, her confidence was shaken and she no longer dared to try again.
For a genius, the most terrifying thing is to lose confidence.
Once your confidence is shaken and you begin to doubt yourself, your once dazzling talent will fade and become like everyone else.
Master Shiva faced such a dilemma.
He became so tired of the repeated failures in his practice that he began to drink to drown his sorrows.
He even said to Allen in frustration:
"As a teacher, I am basically a useless person."
"No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to break through to the sixth level in this lifetime."
"Fortunately, our Silver Moon Monastery has successors."
"Tanya's talent is not inferior to mine."
"Your talent is even stronger than mine!"
"My path of cultivation ends here, Master."
"Now I'm counting on you and Tanya to reach a level that I can't reach in the future..."
At this point, Master Shiva could not bear the sadness, his eyes turned slightly red, and his voice choked up a little.
Alan looked at the frustrated Master Shiva and couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Master Shiva is undoubtedly a talented sorcerer, but outside of his practice, he is actually quite childish.
Her mental age, let alone 28, is probably not even as mature as that of an 18-year-old girl.
Apart from practicing hard and constantly improving her strength, she is not interested in anything else.
I have also not seriously considered whether I could change track and seek success and happiness in other fields if the path of spiritual practice is blocked.
Someone as simple and persistent as her is at high risk of mental breakdown or even death from depression once she encounters setbacks.
Since ancient times, most geniuses have not had a good ending.
Either die young or go crazy, this is the root cause.
Allen didn't want the teacher to become another tragic genius.
So he did his best to help the teacher through this difficult time.
After a little thought, he told Master Shiva the secrets of "Assembly Meditation" and "Soul Meditation".
In fact, group meditation is no longer a secret among Allen's relatives and friends.
My elder sister, junior sister, Tiger Girl Leni and senior sister Tanya often gather with him to practice dual cultivation.
Master Shiva, I have heard of it a long time ago.
She also knew that gathering for meditation was a secret of the Human-Devil Cult.
So, when Allen proposed to establish a gathering and practice dual cultivation with her, she did not refuse.
The problem is, the Quiet Meditation Method...
"Alan, the meditation method you transmitted to me through the gathering meditation is so strange!"
Master Shiva, you have indeed discovered the suspicious points!
"It feels a bit like the calming meditation method, but not exactly the same... Where did you get this inheritance from?"
Alan coughed twice and answered calmly:
"Teacher, the Soul-Calming Meditation Method is something I improved on my own based on the Mind-Calming Meditation Method. It is very effective in suppressing demonic illusions and mental interference."
"Wait a minute!" Master Shiva couldn't hold it in any longer. "You are a fourth-level warlock, and you invented a fifth-level meditation method by yourself? How is this possible?!"
Alan sighed.
There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, a sense of being unappreciated.
"Teacher Shiva, ordinary people really can't do this kind of thing."
"But I can."
Alan stated calmly.
"Do you think there is a possibility that I am actually a genius?"
"As you know, genius always does amazing things."
"For example, teacher, you are 28 years old, late fifth stage, who would believe it if others told you that? However, we all know that this is the truth."
Master Shiva was speechless for a moment.
Alan smiled faintly and continued:
"Teacher, I wonder if you have ever felt this way."
“When I accomplish something, others exclaim that it’s incredible.”
“I find it incredible, too!”
"Why is there such a fuss about something so simple?"
“Perhaps geniuses and mortals just can’t understand each other.”
Master Shiva nodded in agreement.
"Alan, I understand the feeling you are talking about."
"But I used to be in the position of a genius and was amazed at the stupidity of a mediocre person."
"And now, I have become that mediocre person who makes a fuss."
"This role reversal, to be honest, makes me embarrassed."
"Anyway, you're right."
“Genius can create miracles!”
"I don't understand your unique talent, but I don't need to force myself. I'll just listen to you."
Alan smiled.
Dealing with geniuses can be difficult or easy.
Under the premise of concealing the Taotie system, no matter how he makes up lies, his logic cannot be perfect and impeccable.
Master Shiva was no fool. He immediately spotted the flaw and concluded that he was lying.
So, Alan simply didn't explain.
Just pretend to be awesome!
The inspiration of a genius is like a black box that cannot be analyzed.
Once something is attributed to talent and inspiration, it becomes justification by faith.
Master Shiva is a true genius!
I understand too well this feeling of a flash of inspiration that cannot be described in words.
So, when Alan started to show off and act like a genius.
Not only did she dispel her suspicions, she also regarded Alan as a confidant.
Alan was very successful in pretending to be cool.
Unfortunately, the fifth-level soul-soothing meditation method can only slightly enhance Master Shiva's mental resistance, but cannot immunize against the sixth-level inner demon illusion.
Even so, Master Shiva was satisfied.
Renew the courage to challenge the test of your inner demons.
However, Allen was not satisfied.
He can do even better!
With the help of the system, by integrating the sixth-level soul-soothing meditation method, Master Shiva's problem can be perfectly solved.
Alan's own cultivation level is only at the fourth level.
With existing resources alone, it is impossible to integrate the sixth-level meditation method.
This matter can only be put aside for now.
Until this moment, the venom gland has evolved the function of analyzing potions.
Alan's ideas suddenly became clear!
…
Alan left the Silver Moon Secret Realm and came to the White Tiger Hall.
"Teacher Shiva, I have a new idea about the soul-restoring meditation method."
"Give me a sixth-level meditation awakening potion as a reference. Perhaps I can gain inspiration from it and improve the Soul-Calming Meditation Method to the sixth level."
Alan made his request straight to the point.
Master Shiva was stunned when he heard this.
The green tiger eyes flickered.
"Well... unfortunately, I don't have a Level 6 Meditation Awakening Potion either."
Master Shiva unconsciously avoided Alan's sight.
"Teacher, lying is not a good thing!"
Alan didn't allow her to dodge.
Master Shiva looked embarrassed.
He rubbed his furry ears and had to tell the truth.
"Our monastery does have a treasured sixth-level meditation awakening potion, but it is not my private property!"
"Five years ago, my teacher, the former headmaster of Silver Moon Monastery, left this awakening potion and a promise before he went to Origin City."
"Promise?" Alan raised his eyebrows.
"The three disciples that the teacher values ​​the most, me, Old Bear, and Old Pig, made an agreement in front of the teacher that whoever reaches the sixth level first will get the sixth level meditation awakening agent and inherit the position of dean."
Master Shiva sighed.
"This awakening potion is sealed. Unless the three heads of the academy work together to unseal it, no one can get it."
“So that’s how it is…”
Alan groaned, then asked:
"Teacher, can you show me the formula for the potion?"
"I'm sorry, this potion was obtained by my teacher from the City of Origin. He doesn't even have the formula, so how could I have it?"
Master Shiva spread his hands and smiled bitterly.
Undeterred, Allen made another request to Master Shiva.
"Teacher, you know that I have a little talent in refining medicine."
"Actually, you don't need the whole potion. Just give me a drop and I can try to analyze the potion formula."
"I think you can talk to Master Bahce and Master Varaha and convince them to make an exception."
"If this can be accomplished, I am willing to contribute the formula of the sixth-level meditation awakening agent free of charge and share it with the Bear Court and the Pig Court."
"This condition should be able to impress the two masters."
When Master Shiva heard this, he was moved!
"Alan, how confident are you that you can parse out the formula?"
"I can't say how many there are, but 70% is still there."
"Seventy percent, that's not low!"
Master Shiva's eyes sparkled as he muttered to himself.
"It only takes one drop of liquid medicine. Even if the analysis fails, it won't affect the efficacy of the genuine awakening agent... I think it will work!"
Master Shiva stood up suddenly.
"Alan! Wait here, I'll be back soon!"
Master Shiva acts with vigor and determination.
In less than half an hour, he came back with a happy face.
Holding a small reagent bottle in his hand.
The bottle contains a trace amount of light red liquid.
"Old Bear and Old Pig! How petty!"
"I said just one drop, and they only gave me one drop!"
Master Shiva complained to Allen angrily.
Alan took the reagent bottle with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. One drop is enough."
"Teacher, I will go back to study the potion now. Please wait for my good news."
"Well! Thank you for your hard work!"
Master Shiva lovingly touches his beloved disciple’s head.
The soft pads on the tiger's paws are particularly gentle to the touch.
Alan returned to the Silver Moon Secret Realm.
A room in the villa that is used as a laboratory.
Carefully uncork the bottle.
The bone spur absorbs the liquid, stores it in the venom gland , and begins analysis.
After spending a whole day, Allen successfully analyzed the prescription.
Unexpected.
The recipe for the sixth-level meditation awakening agent is not entirely made up of rare and exotic herbs.
The Silver Moon Monastery has reserves of most of the medicinal materials.
The most difficult type to obtain is the blood of a sixth-level monster.
The so-called monster is just a general term.
Any creature with magical powers can be called a "monster".
Even warlocks!
Alan has never seen a sixth-level monster or a sixth-level warlock.
He couldn't get the main ingredient, so he took the prescription to Master Shiva.
Master Shiva did not waste even a second.
Send a letter immediately, summoning Bakhsh and Varaha to a meeting.
The three masters had a heated discussion on how to obtain the blood of a sixth-level monster.
Allen was waiting in the next room when he vaguely heard a familiar name.
Caroline the Spider Queen!
…
"The Beast Cult is going too far!"
"Always stirring up trouble in our Silver Moon Island. How hateful!"
"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"
"Let's go to Red Moon Island and make a scene to vent our anger!"
“Junior sister! Venting out your anger is secondary. The main purpose of this trip is to lure out Pope Caroline of the Beast Worship Cult and teach her a lesson!”
"'Spider Queen' Caroline is said to have reached the early sixth stage of cultivation. Even if the three of us join forces, we may not be able to defeat her."
"But it's no problem to teach her a lesson and let her see some blood."
"Right! Anyway, we don't expect to kill the mother spider! We'll attack her unexpectedly and injure her! Get the blood sample and teleport away!"
"That's it!"
…
Hearing the three leaders plotting to ambush the Spider Queen.
Spanna's face appeared in Allen's mind.
Spanna loved her mother very much.
Alan saw Spanna sending letters to her mother more than once, and the contents were all just some everyday conversation.
For example, what I ate today, or bought a new piece of clothing.
In her letters to her mother, Spanna always acted coquettishly and naturally, which was the best reflection of the close relationship between mother and daughter.
It is conceivable that the Spider Queen dotes on her little daughter very much.
Now, Allen's three division commanders are about to sneak into Red Moon Island, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Spanna's mother!
From her, I could obtain the blood that was essential for refining the sixth-level meditation awakening potion...
Alan sighed.
I felt a little sorry for Spanna.
…
Ten days passed in a flash.
The three masters finally returned to the monastery.
The wounds on his body have not healed yet, but fortunately they are not serious.
Alan's heart finally settled down.
Afterwards, I listened to Master Shiva's story.
The three brothers and sisters are all in the late fifth level and join forces to fight against Caroline.
Even with all my efforts, I could only gain a slight advantage.
The Spider Queen's strength is so powerful that it is beyond imagination!
"Fortunately, the Beast Worship Cult is not united enough. The four major branches are scheming against each other!"
Master Shiva said with lingering fear.
"If the four sects were united and truly loyal to the Spider Queen, our Silver Moon Monastery would have been wiped out long ago!"
"It is precisely because of this risk that you must work hard to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible, advance to the sixth level, and gain the capital to compete with the Spider Queen."
Alan said seriously.
Master Shiva rolled his eyes at him and said coquettishly, "How can you, as a student, teach your teacher a lesson? This is so disrespectful!"
Alan smiled, took the blood collection bottle handed to him by the teacher, and stood up to say goodbye.
The other medicinal materials have already been collected.
With the blood of the Spider Queen in hand, everything is ready.
Start refining medicine!
The process needs no further explanation.
Anyway, with the support of the Taotie system, it is not difficult at all.
The next day, Allen injected himself with a sixth-level meditation awakening agent.
With his level of cultivation, it was too difficult for him to practice the sixth-level meditation method.
After awakening, it is only used as a synthesis material, which is not a big problem.
At the end of meditation, Alan received the system prompt as he wished.
"Should I spend 14 potential points to fuse the sixth-order 'Origin Meditation Method' and the fifth-order 'Soul-Calming Meditation Method' to deduce..."
Wait a minute!!
Alan was shocked!
Why does it cost 14 potential points? !
Could it be that...
…
A few days later.
Alan walked into the White Tiger Pavilion.
When Master Shiva saw that he looked haggard and listless, his heart immediately wrenched.
"Alan, the medicine refining thing...isn't going well?"
Alan shook his head.
He took out two reagents and placed them in front of Master Shiva.
"The sixth-level meditation awakening agent has been prepared."
"These two are for Master Bakhsh and Master Varaha."
"Okay, I'll give it to them myself." Master Shiva put away the awakening potion and asked softly, "The Soul-Soothing Meditation Method is not that easy to improve, right?"
Alan sighed.
"Teacher, my original idea was to use the ordinary sixth-order meditation method as a reference to upgrade the sixth-order soul-soothing meditation method to the sixth-level soul-soothing meditation method."
"Hmm! Then what?"
"However... during the specific operation, there was a small deviation, which caused my workload to double."
Alan yawned tiredly.
"So... the improvement failed?" Master Shiva forced a smile and stroked Alan's hair. "It's okay. We can think of another way."
"No, sir, the reform was successful, and too successful."
Alan took out two more bottles of reagents and placed them on the table.
"This bottle is the sixth-level soul-soothing meditation awakening agent. You can use it now."
"The other bottle... is the seventh-level soul-soothing meditation awakening potion."
Alan smiled and patted Master Shiva's cat paw .
"Teacher, I can only help you up to this point. You must work harder in the future and don't let me down."
“Ah?! This…”
Master Shiva's mood fluctuated greatly, and his expression changed constantly.
"Alan! Thank you! But could you please... not talk to me in that tone of lecturing a little sister?!"
Master Shiva's eyes widened in anger.
"Who is the teacher and who is the student between us?!"
Allen smiled slightly: "There is no order of learning, the one who is more accomplished is the teacher."
"Damn it! You've got it wrong again!"
Master Shiva snorted angrily and put away the seventh-level soul-soothing meditation awakening potion.
Another bottle of level six was injected in front of Alan.
Alan stayed beside the teacher and meditated with her.
The sixth-level soul-soothing meditation method is immune to all negative mental states below the sixth level.
Master Shiva changed his practice to this method and suddenly he felt that the world was vast and open to him!
What inner demons, hallucinations, mental interference, they are all rubbish!
Night ends and dawn begins.
Master Shiva suddenly opened his tiger eyes, shining with a bright green light!
If the sight had substance, it would exude a fierce power!
Alan was affected nearby and felt frightened and trembling all over!
The "fear aura" of the sixth-level "Tiger Head Sky" is even more powerful than the dragon's might!
"Congratulations, teacher, for breaking through the bottleneck and becoming a sixth-level warlock!"
Alan gave a timely flattery.
Master Shiva waved his hands, pretending to be reserved.
But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing his inner joy.
"Alan, I was able to break through the bottleneck, thanks to you!"
"Whatever reward you want, just ask!"
"As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Master Shiva looked at his beloved student with motherly love in his eyes.
Alan groaned and asked embarrassedly: "Teacher, I want to kiss you, can I?"
"ah?!"
Master Shiva was filled with astonishment.
"My promise is very valuable! If you waste it so easily, don't regret it in the future!"
Alan shook his head and said calmly:
"Teacher, I am doing this for you out of obligation. It is not a favor, and I do not expect anything in return."
"It's just because the teacher is so cute. I have wanted to kiss you for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it before because I was afraid of being beaten. I brought it up today while you were happy."
"If the teacher is embarrassed, forget it. I don't mind."
"Tsk! It's just a kiss, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
Master Shiva curled his lips and put his face close to his mouth.
Alan pushed her tiger face away, his eyes full of disgust.
"Big cat face, a kiss and a mouthful of fur! I don't want it!"
"Be good and turn yourself back into a little loli!"
"I want to kiss your smooth little face!"
"They are all the same, is there any need to be so picky?"
"You little brat, you're so annoying!"
Master Shiva complained, but his body obediently changed back to loli form.
She closed her eyes, her cheeks slightly red, and moved closer to Alan.
Alan stared at the cute little pink face, and suddenly a strong impulse surged in his mind.
He leaned over and kissed her cherry lips.
Master Shiva's body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
He instinctively wanted to push Alan away, but for some reason his whole body felt weak and he couldn't muster any strength.
Alan took the petite White Tiger Martial Master into his arms and kissed her deeply.
He kissed her until her face flushed, her breathing became rapid, and she was almost suffocated, so he stopped with a feeling of not being satisfied.
Master Shiva came back to his senses, his face filled with shame and anger.
She swung her fist and hit Allen on the chin.
Bang!
Alan was knocked flying by her rising dragon punch.
He fell headfirst to the ground, with stars in his eyes.
"You bastard!"
"A traitor who betrays his master and ancestors!"
“So disrespectful!”
"Treason!"
The 28-year-old Loli Wu Zun angrily scolded her unfilial disciple.
Alan rubbed his chin and sat up, confessing his guilt.
"Teacher, I know I was wrong."
"I wanted to kiss your cheek."
"I don't know why, my mind was confused and I kissed the wrong place."
"This is probably the work of the inner demon! It must be!"
"What a demon! I think it's the sex demon that's causing all this trouble!"
Master Shiva was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and rushed over to twist his ears.
"You are a pervert, kid! Don't bully me like this in the future!"
"Yeah! From now on, I won't dare to do that without the teacher's permission."
“That’s more like it!”
Master Shiva's expression eased a little.
He licked his lips and blushed again for no apparent reason.
Avoiding Alan's burning gaze, he took out an iron plate from his pocket and threw it over unhappily.
"I'll give you this token as a thank you for helping me break through the bottleneck!"
A heavy iron token, engraved with a tiger head emblem.
It turned out to be the identity token of the head of the Cat Academy!
With the token in hand, Alan has all the authority of the first seat!
"Teacher, you gave me the first seat token. Do you have any more?"
Shiva shook her head slightly, her pretty face looking lonely.
