Chapter 55: Falling from the Cliff (I)
"I heard that in the past year, you have either been building a house or arranging a formation, and you are rarely free to teach the formation again, does it really matter in terms of cultivation?"
At noon that day, An Xiaofu asked worriedly: "You used to tell me that cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." If you continue like this, will you regress from Jindan to build a foundation? β
"Who told you I didn't practice?"
An Wen saw a serious way: "Building a house and arranging the formation is my way of cultivation. β
Then An Xiaofu and Xi stared at him silently.
"Ahem, just kidding."
An Wen cleared his throat in embarrassment and said, "You should know that the cultivation method we are using now only needs to be correctly absorbed. And I've turned breathing into a physical instinct instead of ordinary breathing, so I'm practicing all the time. β
"Turn the breath into a bodily instinct?"
An Xiaofu's eyes widened: "You can still do that!" β
"Of course you can, but it's difficult."
An Wenjian recalled his past efforts with a heavy face: "Your talent is much better than mine, there is no need to suffer this crime." β
"I'm not afraid!"
An Xiaofu said firmly: "Smell it, teach me." β
The joy on the side implements the salted fish attitude: "Hiss~ (I'll forget it)"
"It's a good thing you're so motivated."
An Wenjian nodded, and found the array disk that he wanted to throw away many times back then: "Take it, as long as you can insist on wearing it on your body, and don't use spiritual power or magic to fight the effect of the above formation, you will soon be able to turn the breath into a physical instinct, instead of ordinary breathing." β
"It's that simple?"
An Xiaofu calmly took the array plate and immediately hung it up: "I heard how long it took you to do the beginning?" β
An Wenjian recalled carefully and said, "Before and after, it was almost three months. β
"Isn't that fast?"
An Xiaofu said confidently: "I strive to master it in two months!" β
An Wen smiled and said nothing.
β¦β¦
Towering mountains, a beautiful-looking woman, followed by a lively little girl, both of them strolling leisurely.
"Master, there are so many fun and delicious things in the city, it's really interesting!"
The little girl asked the beautiful woman, "When I break through the realm, can you take me again?" β
"Okay."
The beautiful woman laughed along: "When you break through, I'll take you again." β
"Yay!"
The little girl jumped up happily, and then hugged the beautiful woman's arm: "Master is the best!" β
When she was hugged, a disgusted expression flashed on the beautiful woman's face, and then she thought of something and turned to laugh happily.
The two of them walked to the top of the mountain until it was almost dark.
"Master, what are we doing here?"
The little girl looked around and found nothing of value.
"I'm here to help you break through. Haven't you been asking me how to break through the realm of metamorphosis? β
The beautiful woman took out the array material from the storage bracelet on her wrist: "This mountain is the end of the nearby spiritual veins, and it is also the transition area that connects the other spiritual veins. As long as it is paired with a special formation, it can help you complete the breakthrough quickly. β
"I see!"
The little girl suddenly realized: "The master is so good to me!" β
"Who made me your master?"
The beautiful woman began to arrange the formation, her movements were swift, as if she had done it many times, and she said to the little girl with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth: "I just don't know if you have ever thought about repaying the master." β
"Absolutely!"
The little girl patted her chest and said seriously: "No matter what the master asks me to do, I will do it!" β
"Jiayi is such a good boy."
The beautiful woman smiled at the little girl: "Come, go to the formation to cultivate." β
"Good!"
The little girl, Jiayi, walked straight to the center of the formation, sat down, and began to cultivate.
[It's finally time for this day!] γ
The beautiful woman stared at Yi and sat down in the middle of the formation, and sure enough, the formation was activated.
Jiayi felt a little uncomfortable: "Master, I feel a little uncomfortable. β
The voice of the beautiful woman came at the right time: "It's like this to break through the mortal realm, it will be more uncomfortable after a while, you must hold on, don't be distracted." β
So Jiayi was more focused.
The uncomfortable feeling gradually turned into pain, but Jiayi remembered her master's words and gritted her teeth to insist.
As time passed, the pain became more intense, and Jiayi felt as if her body was being torn apart.
I can't hold on to itβ
"Jiayi! Hold on, you're going to succeed soon! β
The words of encouragement from the master were like a shot in the arm for Jiayi to take the last step.
The feeling of the body being torn apart disappeared, and the pain seemed to be unreal.
"Whew..."
Jiayi breathed a long sigh of relief, opened her eyes, and saw the bright smile on the beautiful woman's face, and suddenly felt that the pain before was not so unbearable, and got up: "Teacher..."
Jiayi stood halfway up, suddenly lost her strength, fell over, and fell to the ground: "Huh? What's the body, I don't have the strength ......"
"Forcibly stripping the spiritual root and not passing out on the spot is already remarkable. If you can still stand up, I doubt that your spiritual roots have not been completely stripped away. β
It was a familiar voice, but it seemed unfamiliar at the moment.
"Master, Fu..."
Jiayi trembled and raised her head with difficulty.
She saw that a strip with earthy yellow fluorescence was held in the hand of the woman she had called her master for more than 20 years, and her face was still beautiful, but it was not as kind and kind as before, it was a little more evil and crazy.
The beautiful woman pressed the earthy yellow strip in her hand on her abdomen, and quickly absorbed it into her body.
"Ah~ Is this what it feels like to absorb the aura of the best Heavenly Spirit Root, it's really, amazing!"
The woman's face was intoxicated, showing a bit of dissoluteness.
After being intoxicated, the woman's gaze finally turned to Jiayi: "Jiayi, do you have a lot of ~ questions to ask me now?" β
"Master, Fu..."
Jiayi's voice trembled a little: "Why? β
"It's still a long night, I don't mind talking to you slowly,"
The woman looked up at the moon with an intoxicated expression, lowered her head and smiled evilly: "But you don't seem to be able to make it to the end... Then what you hear counts. β
"Come to think of it, let's start by the village where you were born twenty-eight years ago."
"By the way, you've been calling me master all these years, and you don't know my name. But I can't remember my name, and those who know me call me 'Bone Beauty'. Isn't it very commensurate with me, after all, I am so beautiful~"
"But you know what? Twenty-eight years ago, when I passed by the village where you were born, I found that the women in that village were all more beautiful than me! β
"It's just a bunch of lowly mortals who don't even know what cultivation is...... So I decided to clean up everyone in the village. But during the cleanup, guess what I found? A baby with the best Celestial Roots! β
"Do you know how I was feeling?"
"Of course I couldn't have been happier! Because I happen to know how to strip the spiritual root and make it mine! β
"But it's quite troublesome to strip the spiritual root, not only do I have to keep that baby alive, but I also have to find a way to take care of her, raise her, teach her to read and write, and even practice ......"
"Yes, that baby is you!"
"Twenty-eight years, do you know how I got through these twenty-eight years? I have to be careful to avoid those sanctimonious monks every day, and I have to take care of you! Watching you become more beautiful day by day, I can't wait to strangle you right away! But if you die, where do I go to find the Heavenly Spirit Root? β
"So I can only endure it... Bear with me... Finally endure it to this day! β
"Hahaha...... That's it, I've always wanted to see your expression! Are you wondering why you're alive right now? β
"Let me tell you, the answer is your name - Jiayi, wedding dress, you have lived until now just to make me a wedding dress!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Alas, you are so tenacious that you have been listening to the end. I want to wait until you pass out before I do it. Anyway, I've also raised you for twenty-eight years, and even if you are half a mother, I can't kill you a little bit. β
"There's no way, I'll leave you to fend for yourself under the cliff."
"Remember, if you have a next life, don't look better than me."
Jiayi stared at the woman in her field of vision and quickly shrunk until she couldn't see, and finally bumped into something, making a loud "bang", and she couldn't feel anything.
