Chapter 14: Persistence
Since then, Huo Xiaolu's idea of leaving has been forced to cancel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that Yin Xiao wants to personally instruct him in his spells.
It stands to reason that Yin Xiao is also a bigwig-level figure in the Yin and Yang world of life and death, and it is really unimaginable to personally guide a rookie who is not related to him. But now Huo Xiaolu's identity is different, with the identity of an ally of the head of the Yin family, if his strength is too low, he will lose the face of their Yin family if he goes out, so Yin Xiao specially took the time to teach him.
The Yin Lord and Huo Liuli sat by the window, nibbling on apples while looking downstairs. The Yin Lord said vaguely, "Why don't you go down and practice together?" ”
Taking a bite of the apple, Huo Liuli chewed and swallowed slowly: "It's such a cold day, I won't go." Besides, why don't you go down? ”
"This level of training has no effect on me anymore, and I am too lazy to go." After nibbling on the other last bite of the apple and throwing away the pit, the Yin Lord put his chin on the windowsill and said lazily: "It's still comfortable to look at others like this." ”
Under this building, Huo Xiaolu was naked, his hands were crossed, and he gritted his teeth and felt the hot mana in his body. Beside him, Yin Xiao was spinning in circles and explaining to him.
"Although the spell is powerful, it is not something that can be used after learning, in addition to whether the mana is deep or not, it also depends on your control ability."
"You are a golden crow physique, and you have been washed and cut before, so I don't worry about the physical quality." Yin Xiao's palm kept coming out of the cold, ignoring the fact that Huo Xiaolu was already shivering from the cold, "Although you are extremely talented, and you already have a strong mana in your body that far surpasses that of your peers after a short cultivation time, this is like a child holding a divine weapon, and you can't pose a threat to them with a little real material." ”
It was early in the morning, the temperature was very low, and it even froze this morning. Huo Xiaolu was already freezing and almost had a runny nose, coupled with Yin Xiao's very "kind" intention to artificially cool down on the side, he now felt like he had entered an ice cellar naked.
Looking at his muscles trembling all over his body but gritting his teeth and insisting, Yin Xiao was unmoved. He had a warm smile on his face, but his hands kept stopping, and his palms continued to exude a formidable cold like eternal ice.
He said unhurriedly: "Freezing is not the goal, what you have to do is to use every trace of mana in your body as much as possible in this cold environment, and transform it into the power of the scorching golden crow to fight against the cold of the outside world." ”
Huo Xiaolu's lips were already blue from the cold at this time, he tried to concentrate his attention, exploring in his body, trying his best to explore the mana that he could control bit by bit, but with little effect. It's not that his mana is insufficient, on the contrary, he can clearly feel the continuous flow of mana in his body like a stream, but he can only use a part of it with all his strength.
Looking at his swaying appearance downstairs, Huo Liuli sighed softly: "Isn't this a little too difficult for him?" ”
Lying on her back on the wide seat, the Yin Lord comforted her while closing her eyes: "Don't worry, Dad has a lot of money, and he won't really abuse him." ”
"But it looks like he's struggling now, I'm afraid he won't succeed in a short time." Indeed, now that Huo Xiaolu has reached his limit, his mana control is still far from passing.
The Yin Lord opened his eyes, looked at the gorgeous chandelier above, and said nonchalantly: "If you want to succeed quickly, you must let him reach the critical point of his ability to bear every time, let him get used to this level of pressure, and he will be able to improve." ”
Huo Liuli was noncommittal about what he said, but looking at Huo Xiaolu's painful appearance, he was still slightly unbearable in his heart: "He's just started now, shouldn't he lower his standards a little?" ”
He opened his mouth and exhaled softly, and a vague white mist rose from between his lips and teeth, and then drifted away. There was no air conditioning in the room, no fireplace was lit, and the chill passed through the walls and into the room, melting into the marrow of the person. The Yin Lord looked at the disappearing white gas and chuckled: "There's no way, the situation is a little complicated now, what we lack is time." ”
Then he said, "Senior sister, do you still remember the scene when you first cultivated? ”
Hearing this, Huo Liuli was slightly stunned, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she didn't know what she remembered.
Nearly twenty years ago, she was only three or four years old at that time, and because of her clear roots and talents, she was favored by her family and laid the foundation for her cultivation in advance.
At that time, she was already able to remember, with a pair of big eyes, she was carried by her father, and walked towards the Cleansing Pond in the secret place of the family.
Many years ago, they found a place with excellent waterproofing, and carved out a six-foot square and five-foot deep pool on a huge rock, put countless heavenly and earthly treasures, and laid out a formation, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth day and night, and the giant rock is a strange stone, which can pour out clear dew on its own, which is extremely magical. Since the completion of the pool, it has become one of the treasures of the Huo family, specially used for the cultivation of the genius children of the clan.
She can't remember the specifics anymore, but before she was put into the pool, her father told her that it would hurt and that she had to endure it and hold on for as long as she could. She didn't know why, and before she could react, she was put into the Cleansing Pool.
It hurts, it hurts.
This was the first reaction of Huo Liuli at that time. Although it has been so long, she can still vaguely recall the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow at that time. She was immersed in the pool more than a meter deep, and she couldn't breathe at all, but for some reason she didn't drown in it. Something was scattered in the pool, and it couldn't wait to burrow into her body after she came in. Every pore tingled and she couldn't help but scream, but as soon as she opened her mouth, thick liquid poured into her mouth, which was so disgusting that she hurriedly closed her mouth.
The pain continued, her fleshy arms were struggling to support the bottom of the pool, her joints were red, she clenched her teeth, and she didn't know where the stubbornness came from, but she refused to give up.
She held a pebble in her tiny palm that would leave the place immediately if she tapped the bottom of the pool with it, but she didn't. Her mind is far from mature, she actually doesn't know what the limit is, what is giving up, she just subconsciously followed her father's words and persevered at the bottom of the pool as much as possible.
Until the end, she didn't use the stone in her hand. The people waiting by the boulder waited for the signal that she would give up, and for fear of a change, they fished her out, only to find that she had fainted from the pain. Even unconsciously, she clutched the stone in her hand and did not relax in the slightest.
With a stirring spirit, Huo Liuli returned to reality from memory. She subconsciously looked downstairs, and Yin Xiao and Huo Xiaolu were gone, and she asked in a daze, "What about people?" ”
Giving her a strange look, the Yin Lord replied, "I just finished training and left, maybe I'm looking for a place to rest, right?" Seeing that her face was a little pale, the Yin Lord asked her, "What's wrong, it's not feeling well?" ”
"No," Huo Liuli exhaled softly, her whole person was suddenly a little tired, she closed her eyes, "It's just that I think of some not-so-good memories." ”
The Yin Lord smiled: "Did you think of the first time you cultivated when you were a child?" ”
At this time, Huo Liuli was adjusting his breathing, and nodded slightly as an answer to him.
Sitting up straight, the Yin Lord stretched hard, and the joints in his body crackled: "So, Xiaolu's current training level is only the standard of our childhood, and it's really not difficult for him." ”
Huo Liuli didn't open her eyes, she smiled slightly, looking proud and unexpectedly a little bitter: "I don't want to know, it turns out that we have also experienced these things." ”
"It's okay, we're here." Curled up, and for a moment, she smiled like a child.
Moved his neck, and the corners of the Yin Lord's mouth also outlined an arc. He tilted his head, listened to the sound of his breathing, raised his eyebrows, and then relaxed.
In another room, Huo Xiaolu was wrapped in a blanket, and his face was still a little pale. The air conditioner had been turned on to thirty degrees, but he was still shivering, as if he had not yet gotten rid of the bone-chilling cold.
"Come, drink and warm up." Yin Xiao handed him a hot drink. He whispered a thank you and raised his hand to take the cup.
Sitting next to him, a playful smile on his gloomy face: "How is it, how does it feel?" ”
Carefully taking a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, Huo Xiaolu held back for a long time, and then popped out a word: "Cold!" ”
Yin Xiao laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Where is this, just get used to it, I'll help you work hard tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but shiver again, not because of the cold, but because he was scared.
After hesitating for a moment, Huo Xiaolu said his question: "Uncle Yin, is this training really useful?" ”
"What, don't trust me?" Yin Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, no, that's not it." Huo Xiaolu hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that you didn't say that this is training my ability to manipulate mana, why don't I feel that I have improved at all now?" ”
With a chuckle, Yin Xiao stood up and walked to the table, saying without looking back as he walked, "What, in a hurry?" ”
Huo Xiaolu didn't know how to explain for a while, and finally could only blush, "um".
Pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Yin Xiao turned around and explained to him seriously: "You have missed the best period of cultivation now, and it is normal for you to make slow progress, but it is definitely not nothing. ”
"For you now, there is no difference between one percent and two percent, and you can still only use a very small part of the power in your body. However, although the improvement of your strength is not obvious, the progress of potential development is huge. ”
After taking a sip of the fragrant hot tea in the cup, Yin Xiao comforted him: "Don't be too anxious, you'll know in two days." (To be continued.) )
