"Otherwise, how else can you 'skin' it alive?"
The Demon King scoffed lightly, "The method of cultivating spiritual roots is extremely brutal. It must be done while the person is fully conscious, both mentally and physically, so that the roots can be live-harvested and immediately planted."
Yan Shu was baffled, "Such a cruel technique... why hasn't it been banned? And how can Dongfang Shang openly appear here?"
The cultivation world had many taboos; even the 'Beast Luring Powder' couldn't be refined. So why was a practice like growing spiritual roots allowed to exist?
The Demon King poured himself a drink and explained calmly, "It's not that it hasn't been banned; it's that there's no need to ban it.
Firstly, the conditions for growing spiritual roots are too stringent. Secondly, even the worst cultivator is stronger than an ordinary person. Which cultivator would willingly become a waste and give their spiritual roots to an ordinary person?"
