Chapter 6: Cultivation by the River
Wang Xiaoran slept in the dark, and he slept for three days and three nights before waking up.
Wang Xiaoran, who opened his eyes, rolled over, got up and sat up, and then yawned while stretching his waist.
Looking out through the windowsill of his bedroom, looking at the still dark night sky outside the window, Wang Xiaoran thought that he hadn't slept for long.
This can't blame him, he has nothing on him now, and the mobile phone went to the hospital with his physical mortal fetus, who knows that it is now placed in that corner, and even if it is not good, it may be cremated with his physical mortal fetus.
Without a mobile phone, how did he know when he would return to Earth, let alone let him calculate how long he had slept in total.
"Forget it, since you're already awake, then don't sleep, it's important to be busy with business, and after going to sleep, there is time to sleep. Wang Xiaoran, who thought that he hadn't slept for long, patted his face, and then sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate and cultivate.
This cultivation is different from the previous cultivation in the Pangu space, the cultivation in the Pangu space is to increase one's cultivation realm, and this cultivation is mainly used to increase the size of one's soul.
Wang Xiaoran's current body is too small, even if Wang Xiaoran's cultivation is improved, it is not of much use, after all, a body as small as the size of a soybean, and he may not even be able to hold a weapon the size of a toothpick, so how can he fight with others.
And Wang Xiaoran's most important task now is not to fight with others, but to let himself meet his family as soon as possible.
It has been four months since Wang Xiaoran's soul left his physical mortal fetus, that is to say, Wang Xiaoran on the earth has been dead for four months, and if the hospital did not inform Wang Xiaoran's parents of Wang Xiaoran's death, Wang Xiaoran would not believe it.
The parents who received the news of his death did not know how sad they were, and in order to let his parents know that he was still alive as soon as possible, Wang Xiaoran had to restore his body to a normal size as soon as possible.
Wang sat on the bed with his eyes closed, and the part of the knowledge that Pangu had imparted to him about soul growth began to come to mind.
The result disappointed Wang Xiaoran, in Pangu's cognition, there has been no such special case as Wang Xiaoran since ancient times, everyone's soul is based on their own body to exist, but in the later stage of the soul and energy body fusion, this abandons the physical mortal fetus.
People can control the size of their energy bodies according to their own situation, so they don't have to worry about the difference between them and before after they abandon their physical mortal wombs.
But Wang Xiaoran is now a pure soul body, which can be regarded as a kind of energy body, but this kind of energy is the smallest amount of energy in the outside world, and it is no fun to absorb and transform it in large quantities.
In the knowledge given by Pangu, there are two possibilities for the growth of the soul, one is to improve one's own cultivation, and each time one's cultivation is improved, one's soul will independently absorb and transform the surrounding soul energy into its own soul energy.
Another way to improve his soul is more desperate for Wang Xiaoran, and that method is epiphany.
The biggest difference between cultivators and ordinary people is their understanding of the Heavenly Dao, ordinary people have lived under the control of the rules of the Heavenly Dao all their lives, while the cultivator is constantly contemplating the Heavenly Dao, understanding the Heavenly Dao, so as to transcend the Heavenly Dao, and the epiphany is the fastest means of contemplating the Heavenly Dao.
Epiphany is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, many cultivators can't have an epiphany once in their lives, those who can have an epiphany once or twice are destined to become great powers, and top powers like Pangu have only had five or six epiphanies, so it is simply impossible for Wang Xiaoran, who is still a rookie cultivator, to have an epiphany.
This method of epiphany does not work, and it is too slow to improve by slowly cultivating this method, and when Wang Xiaoran really enhances his soul body to the same size as the mortal body of the body, it is estimated that he doesn't know how many years have passed, and it is difficult to say whether the family is still there at that time.
"I don't believe it, is there really no other way to solve my current situation?
No, there must be, there is no relevant method in the knowledge that Pangu God has passed on to me, and it is because none of them have appeared in my situation, so no one has explored this aspect.
Since I am a precedent in this area, then let me create my own miracle, if you want to become a top-level power like the Pangu Great God, you only need to follow their cultivation experience method step by step, but if you want to become an existence that surpasses the Pangu Great God, you must go out of your own way, and now this situation is just enough to open up your own path!" Wang Xiaoran, who had no result in his search, opened his eyes, and the thumb of his right hand swiped the corner of his mouth heavily, and said to himself firmly into the air.
In the next few days, Wang Xiaoran sat motionless on the bed, and various guessing methods to solve his current situation came to his mind, and then eliminated and screened these methods one by one, retaining only the places that might work, and finally combining these preserved places that might work to form a new method.
After the new method was formed, it has been floating in Wang Xiaoran's mind, and he can't get rid of it.
Wang Xiaoran wanted to try it, but he felt a little hurtful and inappropriate.
Wang Xiaoran's new method is "eating", the method of people growing up slowly from birth is to eat, and absorb the nutrients needed by the body from food for physical development, Wang Xiaoran wants to make his body grow, and he should also need to supplement his body with the nutrients it needs.
What is the nutrition that Wang Xiaoran's body needs now? Of course, it is soul energy, so what Wang Xiaoran wants to eat must contain a lot of soul energy.
But what is it that contains a lot of soul energy? The answer is non-committal, creature!
One thing that is well known is that every living thing has a soul, so as long as Wang Ran eats those creatures alive, he can get the energy he needs from them, the soul.
However, with his current physique, not to mention eating those creatures alive, it would be very good to be able to eat himself alive without being eaten alive by those creatures.
Of course, it is not necessary to eat the creature alive, in fact, Wang Xiaoran only needs to eat the soul of the creature, which is what Wang Xiaoran thinks is more harmful.
With his current body size, it is estimated that he needs to digest at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of souls to make himself the size of his original body, which is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of lives!
Wang Xiaoran couldn't bear to hurt so many creatures because of himself.
"Isn't the main trunk of the Yellow River just flowing through here, should I go to the banks of the Yellow River to give it a try, the creatures in the water should die a lot every day, and their souls are estimated to be taken away by Fan Kui in the end, rather than letting Fan Kui take it away, it is better to fulfill me, so it shouldn't be a harm to the heavens, right?" Wang Xiaoran thought about it, and finally decided to do it.
It was troublesome to enter the house, but it was easier to get out, only to see Wang Xiaoran jump up from the bed, jump to the ground, and then run to the balcony, where there were several duffel bags stacked in the corner of the balcony, which were the old clothes that Wang Xiaoran had packed before.
Climb up along the duffel bag, and soon come to the balcony window, Wang Xiaoran's biggest habit is not to close the window, and he is known as to keep indoor air circulation at all times, but in fact, he is too lazy.
Standing on the balcony window shelf and looking down, Wang Xiaoran felt that his brain was a little dizzy, he lived on the seventh floor, the building was at least seventeen or eighteen meters high, with Wang Xiaoran's current height, it was like a normal person standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down is a situation.
"With such a high distance, if I jump down directly, will I fall to my death?" Wang Xiaoran thought a little stunned in his heart, and in the end, Wang Xiaoran, who was afraid of death, still gave up the idea of jumping down directly.
Wang Xiaoran, who was not ready to jump down directly, began to have other ideas, walking back and forth horizontally along the edge of the balcony, hoping to find a way to go down.
It really responds to the old saying in ancient times, "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart." ”
Wang Xiaoran only walked back and forth on the edge of the balcony and found a way to help him get down, that is, to wrap a thick layer of cotton balls around his body, so that like a skydiver, through the parachute (commonly known as the 'safety umbrella') can effectively cushion the impact of his fall, so as to reach the land smoothly and safely.
For Wang Xiaoran, the cotton ball is too easy to get, and the bedding on his bed is full of cotton.
After thinking of a way to go down, Wang Xiaoran returned to the bedside, but sadly found that the bed was too high for him to go up, and walked around the bed, and could not find a place like the potholes and corners for him to climb up.
"Do I really have to slowly cultivate here to a certain level of cultivation before I can go out?" Wang Xiaoran raised his head and complained without tears on his face.
Just as Wang Xiaoran raised his head and complained, Wang Xiaoran suddenly saw a snow-white object falling on the corner of the bedside table out of the corner of Wang Xiaoran's eyes.
The snow-white object was nothing else, but the toilet paper used to wipe Wang Xiaoran's feet after washing his feet before.
Seeing this ball of toilet paper, the flame that was about to be extinguished in Wang Xiaoran's heart immediately bloomed and turned into a raging fire.
Wang Xiaoran ran to the ball of toilet paper in three steps and two steps, lowered his head and pondered for a while, but he still couldn't help but pick it up.
Wang Xiaoran, who was holding the corner of the toilet paper ball, pulled it in the direction of the balcony, and muttered in his mouth: "Forget it, it's your own feet anyway, what's there to dislike, now is the most important thing to go out, and it's okay to endure this meeting."
Besides, in the middle of the night, no one can see it, and even if they do, they won't think that they will be in this mass of used toilet paper, and no one will be bored to take a toilet paper that has obviously been used and discarded to look at it, unless the person is sick in the brain, so as long as I don't say anything about it, no one will know. ”
The paper ball itself is not big, and Wang Xiaoran's current physical strength is even greater than that of him before, so he easily pulled the paper ball to the balcony.
Wang Xiaoran, who returned to the balcony again, pulled and unfolded the toilet paper ball with both hands, and then pinched the corner of the toilet paper that had become a sheet and wrapped it around his body, and his body quickly rotated clockwise, and the toilet paper also wrapped Wang Xiaoran in Wang Xiaoran's rapid rotation, and even wrapped his head in it.
After wrapping himself, Wang Xiaoran jumped into the sky suddenly, only to see Wang Xiaoran constantly rotate 360 degrees in the air without positioning, and only when he was close to the ground did he fix his body into a sleeping position.
"Bang!", at the moment Wang Xiaoran landed, he only felt that his body was as if he had collided with an oncoming car, and there was no place on his body that was not in pain, and even Wang Xiaoran's cochlea was temporarily deaf.
"Those who can't think of jumping off a building but don't die will regret their actions very much, this is simply more unbearable pain than death. Wang Xiaoran endured the severe pain in his body, muttering in his mouth, and his body rolled in a counterclockwise direction with all his might.
Because Wang Xiaoran's hands were also wrapped in it and couldn't move, Wang Xiaoran used all his strength to feed before his body spun.
After the body rotated, Wang Xiaoran began to relax, with the force of the first rotation, soon Wang Xiaoran completed the second rotation of the second circle, just like that, Wang Xiaoran slowly released himself from the toilet paper ball wrapped around him little by little.
"Whew, I'm about to suffocate me. Although it didn't take much time from the time Wang Xiaoran began to wrap himself up until now, Wang Xiaoran couldn't inhale any oxygen during this period, so as soon as Wang Xiaoran was liberated, he quickly took a few breaths, so that he was much more comfortable.
"It stands to reason that I should be able to breathe now, after all, my body is just a soul body, and I don't need oxygen to break down the food in my body to provide energy, why do I still feel suffocated?
"Forget it, it's important to get down to business first, and then think about it slowly. Wang Xiaoran, who couldn't figure out the reason, resolutely gave up and continued to think, stood up and ran towards the banks of the Yellow River.
Wang Xiaoran's home is only two or three hundred meters away from the banks of the Yellow River, and Wang Xiaoran soon came to the banks of the Yellow River.
At this time, although it is late at night, the banks of the Yellow River are still full of people, mainly some older people fishing at night on the shore.
In order not to be discovered during the period of absorbing the souls of dead creatures in the river to increase the number of souls, Wang Xiaoran turned left and right to come to a bridge cave along the Yellow River, found a relatively clean place in the bridge cave and sat down, quickly put himself in an ethereal state, empty all the thoughts in his mind, let his soul spread out, and absorb all the souls of creatures that can be found around him into his soul body。
Wang Xiaoran himself didn't know how long it had been, it seemed like a moment, it seemed like hundreds of years, and when Wang Xiaoran woke up again, Wang Xiaoran's soul body was already the size of his previous physical mortal womb.
The dazzling eyes shining from outside the bridge hole, the stimulated Wang Xiaoran couldn't open his eyes, stretched out his hand to block his eyes, let his eyes slowly open little by little, and opened them a little wider every time he adapted, until his eyes were completely opened, and then he put down the hand that was blocking his eyes.
"Is this still my body? It feels so strange. After opening his eyes, Wang Xiaoran felt the body that had become larger, and the body that was originally extremely familiar now had a strange sense of disobedience.
Wang Xiaoran has long been prepared for this situation, after all, Wang Xiaoran's current body is basically composed of the souls of those creatures in the river, not his own cultivation, other people's things are still other people's after all, how can it be so easy to become his own, judging from the proportion of his current body and soul composition, unless Wang Xiaoran has adventures during the period, it will take at least a year or two of effort, like when he was in Pangu Space, to exercise his body uninterruptedly, in order to offset the sense of disobedience brought by this large number of souls.
No matter how disobedient there is, the body is still Wang Xiaoran's own, and there is still no problem with basic movement, but he can't exercise any part of his body as he wants in Pangu space.
Trying to exert his body, except for the sense of disobedience, there was no other abnormality, Wang Xiaoran was sure in his heart, and then got up and prepared to step out of the bridge.
As soon as he took two steps, Wang Xiaoran found that something was wrong, he was now naked, and the clothes that he had transformed outside through his soul had disappeared with the sense of disobedience, and because of that sense of disobedience, Wang Xiaoran now had no way to command his soul to form a set of clothes on his body surface to cover it.
"It looks like I'm just going to hide here and wait until it's completely dark before I go out. Wang sat back helplessly.
Looking up at the sun hanging high outside the cave through the entrance of the cave, Wang Xiaoran's heart collapsed for a while, and it is not difficult to judge by the height of the sun that it is not even noon yet, that is to say, Wang Xiaoran may not be able to stay in this bridge cave for eight or nine hours.
"Since I can't go out for a while, let's exercise my body here first. Wang Xiaoran, who had been sitting bored for a while, decided to pass the rest of the time by exercising.
Exercise is exercise, but the movement can't be the same as exercising in the Pangu space, even if it's daytime, there are people outside, Wang Xiaoran doesn't want to bet on his luck that he won't be heard by others, and during the whole exercise process, Wang Xiaoran is extremely cautious, for fear of making a louder sound.
When there is something to do, time passes much faster than usual, Wang Xiaoran only exercised every part of his body twice, and the sky outside was already completely dark.
Looking at the outside of the darkness and his fingers, Wang Xiaoran sneakily poked his head out of the bridge hole, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he covered his face, looked at the road in front of him through his fingers, and quickly copied the remote path and ran towards the place where he lived.
