Chapter 234: The Path of Cultivation Begins
The more anxious Xiao Lai became, the more leisurely this bead seemed to be, circling around him. He was alone on this hill, and he was so bored that the bead could not speak or interact with him.
He began to try to see if he could wake himself up, so he twisted his arm and strained himself so hard that it hurt. Xiaolai originally thought that he was asleep, but he didn't think that this was the reality, and he was really ruthless to himself. Quickly jumped up holding his arm, shouting straight out of his mouth.
"Why am I so stupid, it really hurts me. β
When Xiao Zi was talking to himself, the bead seemed to have a spirit, and seemed to be stunned by Xiao Lai's stupid behavior, and stopped motionless in the air. Xiao Lai saw the beads stop, as if he was laughing at himself. I can't help but feel a little angry in my heart, it's not all your fault, come back quickly, I'll get out of this dream, it's over, see how Lao Tzu catches you.
It was like a child catching a dragonfly, and Xiaolai pretended to be nothing, and slowly approached the bead, seeing that it was already within the range of the attack. Xiao Lai jerked his hand and felt something in his hand.
His heart was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to open his palm, for fear that the beads would fly out again. So he clasped his hands tightly, leaking a little gap, closed one eye, and then brought the one that was open to the ground.
But Xiaolai didn't see anything, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, obviously he had caught it, what was going on. He had just taken his clenched hands away and wanted to open them, when he saw the beads pass out of his palms, which really startled him.
The bead stopped above his hands, and if the bead had a face, the expression on that face must have been like this: "Sample, you come and catch me again!"
Xiao Lai thought to himself that he was really fascinated by anger, how could he try to catch this bead in vain, not to mention that this bead could fly and run, since this bead could get into his chest, it had already passed through his ribs, and penetrated his hand, it was not a trivial thing.
He completely lost his temper at this time, and could only let the bead fly around outside. In this case, he also settled down.
The hill is the same as when he was shepherding sheep, the grass is still green, the low ground is small, the sky is blue and the clouds are white. Anyway, he couldn't do anything, so he simply lay down and stared at the sky, and there was nothing special in his eyes.
Soon, he felt a little tired, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
I don't know how many hours have passed, Xiaolai woke up sleepy-eyed, but found himself lying on the stone slab, which was the stone room of the ancestor. That's when he was happy. It's just that he doesn't know how long he's been asleep, and when he looks up, he feels that the sky is not very bright, and it seems to be similar to when he came to the stone room.
Could it be that he just slept for a long time, and he didn't know where the ancestor and the second brother had gone. He got up from the stone slab and went outside, only to find that the light was coming from the east, that is, it was early morning, but the sun had not yet crossed the mountain.
It turned out that he had slept all night, and he didn't know if the broken bead had returned to his body, and he couldn't care about it so much. After sleeping for so long, the muscles and bones in my body also feel uncomfortable. He stretched hard and moved his hands and feet twice.
At this time, Jue Lingzi and Yuan Cheng walked down from the mountain, and the two of them were in a really good mental state. This is also the point that Xiao Lai is very envious, that is, the cultivators seem to never know that they are tired, and they can always maintain a state of full energy.
"Xiaolai, have you woken up? You've slept all night, and you feel very uncomfortable on such a hard stone slab. β
Hearing Jue Lingzi's words, Xiao Lai nodded hurriedly and said, "Master, it's okay if you use a stone slab as a bed, or spread some bedding on it, but now you don't even have a little thatch, I really don't know how you suffer it on weekdays." It really killed me, and it hurt all over my body. β
"And," Xiao Lai continued, adding, "this slate is so cold, I feel that this cold has invaded my body. Xiao Lai said as he continued to move, his body had been lying on the stone slab for a long time, and he had already stiffened it, but now he moved twice, which was a little more comfortable.
"You don't know this, this stone slab is not used by the ancestor to sleep, but only used by the ancestor when he meditated. Where is it like you, stay in one place and sleep to death. Originally, it had been a few days, and I thought you had gotten rid of this problem, but I didn't expect it to happen again. β
Yuan Cheng also made sense, a cultivator like Jue Lingzi didn't need to sleep and rest at all, he could already meditate, so of course he didn't need a bed. And for cultivators like Yuan Cheng and them, it is not enough to rely on meditation.
"Master, is it true that every time you break that seal of mine, I will sleep like this?"
Seeing that Jue Lingzi nodded, that is, he answered in the affirmative, Xiao Lai continued: "Master, then next time can you find a more comfortable place and break the seal, or I will sleep on your stone slab a few more times, and it is estimated that I will die." β
Jue Lingzi smiled and said, "You really don't appreciate it, this stone room of mine is the essence of the entire Spirit Mountain, and it can be described as the spiritual energy spring here. Every time you enter the meditation, you can get the maximum cultivation in this stone room. So you just stay in the stone chamber honestly, and don't want to change places. β
Xiaolai is really a little depressed, but the words of the master mean that he has already started to cultivate, as long as the veins are unlocked. But he still didn't feel the slightest feeling, so he asked, "Master, have I started cultivating now, why haven't I noticed it?"
"Your current state is like a completely dry desert, now it's just a few drops of water in it, you say, a few drops of water, a desert, how can you feel?"
Yuan Cheng listened to the metaphor of the ancestor on the side, and felt that it was really appropriate, according to Xiaolai's ability to absorb aura, I am afraid that it would take a few storms. He thought of his state again, but it was a pity that his dragon tooth magic weapon couldn't be taken out, and Xiao Lai couldn't use it, otherwise the dragon tooth magic weapon would break out a few times, and it was estimated that Xiao Lai's desert would turn into an ocean. Of course, Yuan Cheng can only think about it here, but it is just an unrealistic idea.
"Master, how long will it take for me to feel something?"
"It's hard to say, anyway, now we'll untie it for you once a day, take your time, I don't think it will take long. β
Xiaolai sighed and said, "Cultivation is really difficult, so complicated. I'll go find some bedding and spread it on the slate, so that I won't suffer again." Otherwise, how about you wake me up when you see that I am asleep?"
Jue Lingzi and Yuan Cheng all laughed at this time, and Jue Lingzi waved his hand and motioned for Yuan Cheng to explain to Xiaolai.
"Xiaolai, you don't know how much aura you absorb every time you unlock the seal of your vein. If an ordinary cultivator is estimated to not be able to accumulate the amount of these spiritual qi after practicing for a lifetime, think about how long it will take these cultivators to transform and absorb these spiritual qi. You're good, it's just this night, and you can complete the work of an ordinary cultivator for a lifetime, and you're not satisfied, I really don't know how to say that you're good. β
Hearing Yuan Cheng say this, Xiao Lai knew that it was impossible to wake himself up halfway, so he sighed again and said, "Then I'd better hurry up and find some bedding, I can only hurt myself." β
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered that he hadn't eaten a mouthful of food or drunk a sip of water last night or this morning, so he hurriedly said to Yuan Cheng: "Senior brother, give me something to eat." β
Looking at the expression on Xiaolai's face, Yuan Cheng laughed and said, "Do you really feel hungry?"
I felt my stomach for a while, and I really didn't feel hungry at all, which I thought was understandable, but he hadn't drunk a sip of water for so long, and since he didn't feel thirsty, it was too strange.
Xiaolai muttered, "What's going on, I don't feel hungry at all, or thirsty, it's over." β
"You've absorbed so much aura, so you can convert some essence into it. So now your body has begun to rely on the essence to maintain its function, how can you still feel thirsty, or hungry? It is estimated that you will have nothing to do with diet in the future. β
Yuan Cheng's words are undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue for foodies, those delicious jerky game, fresh fruits, and many, many delicacies that he has not tried, these things are estimated to be tasteless for him.
"I really didn't expect that the benefits of cultivation have not yet been reflected, but now I have lost the fun of food, and the loss is greater than the gain!"
Jue Lingzi and Yuan Cheng looked at each other, and the two of them naturally couldn't understand Xiao Lai's strange idea.
The three of them were chatting here, and before they knew it, the sun had already jumped out of the mountain and risen very high.
"At this time, it is estimated that the junior brother and they have already arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. β
Yesterday, Yu Lingzi and Wan Weihao returned to the main site of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and it is estimated that they have used the teleportation array to reach the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect early this morning. Counting the time, Du Lingzi thought to himself, I hope they will come back smoothly, and then they can bring some good helpers from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, so that even if the Qilong Sect and the Tianyu Sect come to the door, they will not have to worry.
"You two go, the master wants to cultivate the θ₯€ uΓ n ε΄forgiveness!
Yuan Cheng and Xiao Lai agreed, and the two of them left. The ancestor went to cultivate, and Yuan Cheng should naturally go too.
Only Xiaolai was left alone, and he returned here, such a peaceful life, Xiaolai did not adapt to it. For the past few days, they have been in a state of high tension, and time has flown by.
Now, Xiaolai is useless, if he could still herd sheep before, he would sleep lazily, but yesterday he had slept all night, where can he still sleep, I really don't know what to do.
He didn't have to go to those fox friends and dog friends, they must be cultivating wholeheartedly. There's no way, only the old men are idle here. Xiaolai came down the mountain, found Wang Laohan and them, squatted in the corner with them, and listened to these old people review their lives, and it was just as happy.
Before you know it, it will soon be noon, and the old men should all go home for dinner. Wang Laohan warmly invited Xiaolai to eat at home, Xiaolai was not hungry at all, but it was really difficult to be warm, so Xiaolai had to go with Wang Laohan.
Xiaolai's previous meal was very large, although others were not tall and strong, but compared to those young people, the amount of food was not lost at all, so Wang Laohan's daughter-in-law specially made half a pot of rice.
Looking at the steaming food on the table, this would have been drooling if he had been a child before, but now he can't raise his appetite at all. After a few bites, I couldn't eat a bite. Faced with the hospitality of Lao Wangtou's family, Xiaolai could only bite the bullet and eat another half bowl.
finally finished this meal, and Xiaolai's stomach was not digested at all, so he didn't have the heart to continue squatting in the corner with those old men. If you exercise a lot, you will consume a lot, and it is estimated that only in this way can the food in your stomach be digested.
Xiao Lai hurriedly ran back to the mountain, due to the strict order of the Decisive Lingzi, ordinary people could not go up the mountain at all, and now there are only two people, Decisive Lingzi and Yuan Cheng, and they are still cultivating. In other words, the whole mountain is equivalent to only one person.
He was like crazy, his body was full of lingering energy, running and jumping on the hill. Logically speaking, Xiaolai's current veins have produced a large number of essences, and this kind of movement is not enough for Xiaolai at all. However, his veins were sealed, and these essences couldn't function at all, so he had been crazy like this for a while, and he had already squandered all the little essences that could be applied.
He finally lay down on the ground tired, and at this time he also felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach, and the food in it was only then that he had finished digesting.
After resting like this for a while, Xiaolai actually came up a little sleepy again. He dared to sleep, but suddenly remembered that his seal had not been broken today, and he would enter that inexplicable world when it was undone. Now it would not be a tragedy if he slept and went into it and became refreshed.
He simply jumped up again, beat his spirit, and jumped for a few more rounds. Sure enough, not long after, Yuan Cheng came again.
"Senior brother, is the ancestor going to summon me again?"
Yuan Cheng smiled and said, "Since you know, don't hurry up and jump up." β
Originally, Yuan Cheng knew that Xiaolai had nothing to do, and he thought about going down the mountain to find him, but he didn't expect to see Xiaolai halfway, which saved a lot of things.
