Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dissolving the Knot

However, he didn't think about these things at all, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to leave Qinglong Prefecture as soon as possible. After explaining the matter of the store, he planned to concentrate on cultivation and no longer ask questions. As for the revenge of Guimen, then the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it. With the improvement of his cultivation, he found that the effect of blind penance is not necessarily good, and sometimes the crisis and epiphany in actual combat cannot be obtained in meditation. There is comprehension and practice, and the two complement each other, and there is tension and relaxation, so as to achieve better results.

Su Aotian asked the names of the three people, the woman's name was Zhang Xiaoqian, the young man's name was Lu Fan, and the middle-aged Zhuji male cultivator's name was Guo Daming. Su Aotian knew in his heart that these three people might have told lies to a greater or lesser extent, but he didn't care about them.

So Su Aotian's Qingxin Hall has been operating in a good way, with the help of his fame, the business is not bad, many people are admiring it, buying talismans is secondary, more to see his true face. It's a pity that most of these people returned disappointed, because Su Aotian basically didn't show up.

Guimen didn't come to the door to make trouble, but everyone knew in their hearts that the quieter the surface, the more there was a tumbling undercurrent, the temporary calm was just an illusion, and if Guimen didn't come, it would definitely be to uproot Su Aotian by thunderous means, and he would never drag the mud and water. Because of his status as a Gui Yimen, if he has to stumble against Su Aotian, it will inevitably affect his prestige, and he will only be regarded as a joke by others.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the return to the door is still quiet. In addition to Su Aotian's talisman cultivation, he also looked at these three people coldly, and found that they were also attentive in their work during the day, and they were also very diligent in their cultivation at night, but because they had to deal with customers and maintain business during the day, they would inevitably have less time to cultivate, although they wanted to make up for it at night, but they couldn't stay sleepy, and they had to sleep every once in a while. These three people had poor qualifications, and now although they have the support of spirit stones, their time is limited, so they have not made much progress.

Seeing this, Su Aotian couldn't help but think of himself. His qualifications are beyond the reach of these three people, basically a waste person who can't cultivate congenitally, but now, don't look at the difference in cultivation, these three people are already worlds apart from him, and they will never reach his realm in their lives. To a large extent, the result of this is that they are unable to cultivate the law. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to get Master's guidance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been as good as the three of them. After observing these days, he found that these three people, no matter what the reason, also cultivated whenever they had time, and although the method was wrong, they were extremely diligent. There is also very little communication between the three of them, and it seems that everyone has a plan in their hearts and is practicing hard. Su Aotian knew that these three people must have experienced tragic experiences before they became slaves, and they did not forget these experiences, and they had been silently accumulating strength, looking forward to the day when there would be revenge. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of this ambition, Su Aotian wanted to help them.

On this day, after finishing their business, the three of them planned to cultivate separately, and Su Aotian stopped them.

Guo Daming and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what happened to Su Aotian, but they just bowed their hands together and said, "What does the proprietor command?"

Originally, after these slaves were bought by Su Aotian, they all called him the master according to the rules, but Su Aotian resolutely refused to allow it, and only let them be called the proprietor. These days, they have been waiting for Su Aotian to ask, but since Su Aotian explained their respective responsibilities, he has left it alone, and he doesn't even care about the spirit stones he earns every day, and tells them to take them according to their needs, not to take more, and not to deliberately save. The three of them were confused at first, but after a long time, seeing that Su Ao was innocent and didn't care, they couldn't resist the temptation of the spirit stone, and cultivated with the spirit stone according to their respective attributes. Of course, the cultivation speed of using spirit stones is much faster than before, and the three of them still can't believe that there is such a good thing, and they didn't dare to take more at first, and when a piece of low-grade spirit stone is used up, they will take another one after a long time. Only in the last month or two, the spirit stones taken are a little more than before, and at this moment, seeing Su Aotian suddenly stop them, he couldn't help but panic, thinking that Su Aotian was going to settle accounts with them.

Su Aotian smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to panic. I don't have anything to do, just looking at your cultivation, it doesn't seem to be making much progress, so I want to talk to you and see if there is any way to improve your cultivation progress. ”

When the three of them heard Su Aotian say this, they became more and more convinced that it was Su Aotian's opposite, and when they saw that they had taken more spirit stones, Xingshi came to ask for guilt. I couldn't help but regret it in my heart: "I knew that there was no such good thing, who would look at my hard-earned spirit stones and let others use them? The proprietor is obviously testing us, only blaming himself for not being strong-willed and too greedy." I don't know how the proprietor will punish him, and if he drives himself away, he can only blame himself for being too greedy. If there is any other punishment..."Thinking of this, the three of them shuddered, the prestige of this proprietor, it was easy to take his own life, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, Guo Daming said stubbornly: "I will wait until I know that I am wrong, please punish the proprietor, and I hope that the proprietor will give me a chance to reform myself, I will do my best to do things, and I will never dare to exceed the rules by half a step." Lu Fan and Zhang Xiaoqian didn't dare to come out, and lowered their heads and said nothing.

Su Aotian didn't expect the three of them to react like this, and he was stunned for a while, but he immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You guys think too much, I didn't mean that." Don't be nervous, sit down and talk. When the three of them heard Su Aotian say this, they were all worried in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to tremble and put their butts on the chair.

Su Aotian couldn't help but laugh when he saw that these three people looked like a catastrophe was coming, so he said with a smile: "It seems that I usually have less communication with you, and I will talk to you more in the future." I know you all want to hurry up and cultivate, so let's make a long story short. I see that you all have your own secrets in your hearts, and you all have a goal that forces you to improve your strength as soon as possible, but, with all due respect, with your current cultivation method, I am afraid that you will not be able to achieve your goal until you die. ”

After saying that, the three of them forgot their situation and were immersed in their own memories and pain, Guo Daming's eyes showed resentment and pain, Lu Fan clenched his fists with a painful expression, and Zhang Xiaoqian's eyes were filled with tears. Su Aotian didn't want to waste time, and continued: "I don't want to know what you have experienced before, and I won't help you solve any problems, I know that you prefer to do these things yourself." The spirit stones earned in the shop can be used for cultivation, but everything in the shop also needs you to do some work. These spirit stones are the remuneration for your work, and you must earn it yourself, and I will not raise idlers in vain. If you want to earn spirit stones, you don't have much time to cultivate, I have a way to increase your cultivation time, and in the long run, it can improve your cultivation progress, are you willing to listen?"

The three of them were surprised and delighted by Su Aotian's words, and for a while, their hearts were "banging", and they didn't know whether what Su Aotian said was true or false, Zhang Xiaoqian couldn't help but say: "The proprietor is so powerful, we are naturally willing to listen, but how can Xiaoqian be worthy of being treated like this by the proprietor?" These words are exactly what Guo Daming and Lu Fan thought in their hearts, they really don't know why Su Aotian treats themselves like this, and if they don't understand this problem, they really can't believe that there is such a good thing.

Su Aotian said solemnly: "It's not so much that I help you, it's better for you to help yourself." Because I brought sixty people with me, and only the three of you remained here, and they have been doing penance. God helps those who help themselves, I Su Aotian is not a good person, it is impossible to help everyone who needs help, only those who insist on what they think in their hearts are worthy of my help. Whether you believe my words or not, you will know later. Now, I just ask you, do you want to improve your cultivation as soon as possible?"

At this point, I couldn't help the three of them to think about it anymore, but I saw that the three of them nodded in unison and said, "Yes!" There was a look of longing in their eyes.

Su Aotian said: "This method is actually simple to say, and everyone can do it. As for how well it is done, it depends on the individual. That's what I've been doing all these years. I am mediocre in talent, and I know that if I want to achieve the same goal as ordinary people, I can only put in more effort than ordinary people. There are only 12 hours in a day, and when others practice for 6 hours, I practice for 12 hours. I haven't slept since I was 10 years old, and I've been meditating instead for more than 200 years. ”

Hearing Su Aotian say this, the three of them were shocked, and Lu Fan couldn't help but shout: "This... How is this possible? If I don't sleep for a few days, I can do it, but I haven't slept for more than 200 years, so how can I do it? Even if I don't want to sleep, when I'm so tired, I don't know if I'm asleep. ”

Su Aotian smiled slightly: "Yes, when you are extremely tired, no one can resist the attack of drowsiness, and you can only rely on external forces at this time." Since I was a child, I was forbidden to fall asleep, and as soon as I fell asleep, I would immediately wake up in pain, and over time, the drowsiness gradually disappeared, and I was finally able to stay awake all year round. There are three forbidden beads here, if you want to, you can take them, and from now on, as soon as you feel sleepy, you will wake up in pain. If you don't want to, just leave it here, and I'll take it tomorrow. I've only told you three of you, and I've already placed a ban outside the house beforehand, and if a fifth person knows about it, it's undoubtedly one of the three of you who leaked it, so don't blame me for not being ruthless. ”
