Chapter 34: The Long Progression
Click... Click...
After a few crisp closing sounds sounded, Qinghe was a little surprised and didn't feel too heavyβit's just that the spiritual power in his body immediately passed quickly the moment the killing qi stone came to his body.
Then the extracted spiritual power began to quickly turn into a blue liquid and appear in the magic bottle... The modified bottle, as he said, could not be damaged by any means.
But there is a small piece of murderous stone dotted with red coating on it... These were the same ornaments on his wrists and ankles as at the junctions of the Murderous Stones.
And this bracer can't be opened without a key ... Kong Crane even carefully considered the reason why his body would grow: when making the Killing Stone Bracer, he deliberately made some more, and the tightness could be adjusted at any time.
"Seiwa... Have you really decided? It's hard, you only get 5 hours of sleep a day... If you want to raise your spiritual pressure to the sixth level in 30 years, this is the fastest way I can think of it. β
After the excitement, the empty crane suddenly felt a little unbearable... Isn't such a heavy burden too much for the precocious child in front of him?
Qinghe didn't speak, just nodded calmly: he still has a full understanding of the lack of talent and the truth of trying to make up for it.
"Now, here's the key..."
The empty crane who stretched out his hand was rejected by Qinghe shaking his head: "I won't take this thing off before the sixth rank of spiritual pressure... Mr. Kuzuru, I have to refuse this temptation to relax at any time. β
"Why are you pushing yourself so hard?"
"Because I want a lot of things... But it is from a weed, and if you don't even have the toughness to drill through the rock, how can you get what you want? β
Giving is not equal to return, but not paying is equal to no return... The subtle relationship between this is very clear to Qinghe.
"It seems that your dead orphanage teacher has given you a lot of things."
The empty crane's words are full of sighs... Qinghe could only squeeze out a wry smile: if it weren't for the soul that had been swallowed up and didn't have the qualifications to survive in the corpse soul realm, he could only be reincarnated... His lie really can't stand any scrutiny.
"Hmm... The teacher is a very thoughtful person. He taught me many, many things! β
"This teacher... It can only be me in my previous life, and there is no one else."
Grunt... Qinghe, who went out without breakfast, looked at the small bag that Sora Crane gave him: there were a lot of black balls in it.
"..."Qinghe, who smelled it for a while, only asked about the faint aroma of wine... Then he ate it with a frown.
Sour, sweet, bitter... These three flavors exploded in the mouth, and the mixed wine flavor made this weird taste to the extreme, and he had a strong feeling of nausea.
"Hmm..."
Qinghe, who covered his mouth for the first time, forcibly forced himself to swallow: and then his stomach was quickly filled with a feeling of fullness.
Although the taste is very bad and weird... But there is a lot of energy in it, enough for him to eat this kind of thing, and he doesn't need to eat normal food.
"Let's get started... Hmm~"
At the same time, the empty crane who swallowed a soldier food pill made Qinghe frown: "Teacher empty crane, you don't need to accompany me." I'm not one of those kids, I have to share the ups and downs. β
"We have a pact... What's more, to see you so resolute. I can't help but want to try... After all, those friends of mine are captain-level Grim Reaper. β
"That's good... Let's work together. β
Qinghe smiled faintly... His appearance finally affected another person's life.
Although it is not known whether this change is good or bad... But after all, he left his mark on this world.
Next, he just needs to follow the plan he has made ... Take one step at a time, just go down-to-earth.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ten years later.
What does ten years mean to the souls of the Corpse Soul Realm?
It's nothing more than surviving, eating, sleeping, entertaining, cultivating, and so on... These are very common and simple things.
But for Qinghe... Every day, every minute, every second, he struggled in the spiritual pressure and was constantly absorbed by the killing stone, transformed into the magic bottle, and then the magic bottle was turning to himself.
Not only do you have to eat hard-to-swallow food pills to maintain the consumption of physical and spiritual power, but you also have to be in a state of continuous cultivation... In the past ten years, he has lost count of how many times he has fainted briefly.
Konghe is very persistent and patient, and it is precisely because of her that she gives Qinghe the courage to persevere... In this hellish training, her presence is like a sweet spring for Qinghe, a light to dispel darkness, a delicate rose in full bloom.
You must know that when all the enthusiasm and ambition were poured countless basins of cold water by this cold reality, it was the empty crane that gave him the courage to continue to persevere.
And Kiyowa to the empty crane... The little guy in front of her, who had only grown ten centimeters taller, made her understand what persistence and commitment were.
In the usual days, what does ten years mean to her? Write and draw in the house, study new fireworks, create a few explosions, and give a few spectacular fireworks to the residents of Wandering Soul Street, and the time will pass.
"Qinghe, let's do your own physical training... I'm going to work, that... Remember to watch the fireworks in the evening, we agreed. β
Kuragsuru, whose hair is tied in the shape of a single ponytail, wears a red yukata that represents warmth, auspiciousness, and warmth, outlining the curves of her body in an "S" shape, and the full bulge on her chest makes Kiyowa quite worried about whether this thin yukata will be torn.
It's summer, and tonight there will be an annual fireworks display in District 30 of North Soul Street.
Today, girls wear kimonos, clogs, small handbags, and fans to gather with friends and family to watch the fleeting, yet brilliant, colorful fireworks with their hearts.
As the most famous pyrotechnician on Soul Street, Sky Crane needs to rush there early to start preparing for the grand fireworks display in the evening.
"Got it, Kuragu... I'll be on time. β
Qinghe looked at the empty crane, who has always been very bold and free, and made a cowardly gesture... But she is quite unaccustomed: since five years ago, she began to consciously downplay the title of "teacher".
"I went first... Hang out with your friends. Today, Hibanya-kun and Hinamori Momo don't have any practice. β
The departing empty crane, under Qinghe's slightly raised head... A touch of black with lace is revealed.
"Really... This damn body. β
Qinghe, who wanted to cry without tears, looked at his current height of 1.1 meters, and almost burst into tears: In the past ten years, he and she have supported each other... From the beginning of the rustiness and shyness, to the present is like a faint warmth among relatives, Qinghe has also accepted the title of "empty crane" from the good.
Today is a special day for the civilians of Soul Street, and for Qinghe... It's also a big day.
His fourth-class spiritual pressure... He thought that in five years at most, he would be able to complete the transformation of the fifth class.
But Qinghe still underestimated the scum attribute of his body... At the beginning, he was a waste material without any spiritual power, and after being reorganized by the system twice in a row, he was a third-class spiritual pressure.
This means that from that time on, he was already a soul "born" with third-class spiritual pressure.
And this kind of qualification, even the roles of "miscellaneous fish" in his memory, are not fully competent.
