Only by transforming into human form can one be considered to have achieved some success in cultivation.
Therefore, Bai Suzhen's ability to survive the tribulation of transformation and fully transform into a human within 1,700 years is considered exceptionally gifted among all demons in the world.
As for Xiaoqing, she only used her demonic power to transform into a human, not to completely become human; the difference is enormous.
This is an evolution at the level of life, and also an evolution across species!
The most obvious point is that Bai Suzhen, in the body of a human woman, could marry and have children, and was no different from a human.
However, Xiaoqing cannot.
After all, they are different species and reproductively isolated, so how could they possibly produce offspring?
That's why Xiaoqing looked so amazed!
Let's get back to the main topic.
Bai Suzhen waved her hand calmly and said, "You flatter me, sister!"
Xiaoqing then asked, "So, sister, what important matter brings you all the way from afar to Qinghai County?"
For the first time, Bai Suzhen's usually serene face showed a flicker of emotion as she said with a slight embarrassment, "More than a thousand years ago, when my sister first entered the path of cultivation, she was unfortunately captured by snake catchers at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Her life was in imminent danger, but she was saved by a scholar and managed to escape!"
“A few days ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave me some guidance, saying that if you want to attain enlightenment and transcend, you must settle your karmic debts. The Bodhisattva also gave me a message that the person who saved my life has been reincarnated and is now living by West Lake!”
"Therefore, my sister came to Qinghai County. After finding her savior and settling the karmic debts, she can then focus on cultivation in order to transcend and attain enlightenment!"
Bai Suzhen slowly explained her purpose to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I see!"
Afterwards, the two sisters had a private conversation.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen suddenly looked up and found a person riding on clouds high above her, with a majestic aura. After pondering for a moment, she couldn't help but release her spiritual sense to investigate.
…………
A streak of light flashed across the sky.
If one looked through the flowing light, one could see a young Taoist priest riding on a cloud.
This young Taoist priest was none other than Xiao Ning, who was heading to Jinshan Temple.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the stream of light stopped, and a surprised voice came from inside.
"Who dares to spy on this Heavenly Emperor?"
Xiao Ning snorted coldly and frowned.
The sound resounded through the clouds.
He could sense that someone was spying on him with their spiritual awareness.
This made him very unhappy. After all, no one in the cultivation world would do such a rude thing; it was tantamount to provocation!
At that moment, Xiao Ning circulated all his magical power to resist the feeling of being spied on.
A faint magical light rose up, enveloping his entire body and shielding him from the outside world.
Then, his overwhelming divine sense burst forth, sweeping across a hundred miles around him, searching inch by inch for the spy.
"Huh? So it's the two of you?"
After a while, Xiao Ning's expression turned strange, and he gradually withdrew his divine sense.
He stood silently a thousand meters in the air, looking down at the ground beneath his feet. With his eyes strained, he could clearly see an ancient-style mansion standing in the desolate wilderness.
Most importantly, there are the two little demons in the mansion.
Under the discerning eye, one could clearly see a white snake and a green snake!
"The female lead Bai Suzhen and the perennial runner-up Xiaoqing?"
"Since you dare to provoke me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The white clouds slowly descended and landed on the ground. The luxurious mansion was right in front of him, and Xiao Ning stepped forward.
…………
"Oops, we've been spotted!"
Bai Suzhen gasped in surprise as Xiao Ning probed and retaliated with his divine sense.
Xiaoqing pressed, "What's wrong, sister? What happened?"
Thinking of the handsome young Taoist she had just met, Bai Suzhen blushed and thought to herself, "He's really good-looking!"
When Xiaoqing asked about it, she recounted the whole story.
Xiaoqing patted her forehead, speechless.
"Sister, you... There's an unspoken rule in the cultivation world: you can't spy on others without permission, otherwise it's considered a provocation!"
Unlike Bai Suzhen, who had been in seclusion for a thousand years and was new to the world and knew nothing about human relationships, Xiaoqing had been mingling in the mortal world all day long and, through her daily exposure, was very clear about some of the rules of the cultivation world.
This matter can be considered a big deal, or it can be considered a small one.
