Chapter 67: Building the Foundation
"What are you talking about!" Shen Ci took another step closer and sat on the edge of the bed.
Ma Lanlan retreated and hid in the corner of the bed.
"Alas, it's not easy to be alive!" Shen Ci looked at her and sighed.
Ma Lanlan sat sluggishly and silently.
Shen Ci continued: "You can still come back alive, but what about the girls before you? Their relatives didn't even see them for the last time. β
Ma Lanlan shrank her head, still unmoved.
But how could Shen Ci not know that the abandonment of her relatives was really a knife in her heart!
She was originally killed by her own sister, but in the end, even her parents gave up on her. Such blows and betrayals are more painful than the loss of her virginity.
Actually, Ma Lanlan is a bit like me in her previous life, and she was hurt by her loved ones.
However, better than me in my previous life, at least you are still alive!
In my previous life, I died unexplained, and in this life, I didn't know that Lu Yucian was actually my sisterγγγγγγ
"I've been in a similar predicament to you. At that time, it was Senior Brother and Master who pulled me along. This time, I'll be the one to pull you along!"
Shen Ci's gaze looked through Ma Lanlan, and he seemed to see himself kneeling on the side of the street in his previous life, selling himself to bury his mother.
"No one can really take you down. Unless you give up on yourself! I can only pull you along, whether you can escape from the quagmire or not depends on yourself!"
These words seemed to be said to Ma Lanlan, and it seemed to be to his former self.
There are countless turning points in fate, if she hadn't given up and chose to sell herself to bury her mother, her life would have been completely different!
After finishing speaking, Shen Ci felt a swelling pain in the dantian. The diaphragm that had been blocking her foundation had been ruptured! The aura in the dantian was overflowing to the extreme!
"I'll come back to you and tell me your answer when the time comes!" After speaking, Shen Ci left directly. She now needs a quiet room to break through the foundation!
After Shen left, there was a faint sobbing sound in the room, like an abandoned kitten.
Half a month later, when Shen Ci came out of the retreat room, he was already a monk in the early stage of foundation building!
The spiritual qi in the dantian was all transformed into liquid spiritual liquid. Drop by drop, in the end, it converged into a vast ocean of spiritual liquid!
In the Ichor Ocean, the blue and white waters represent the spiritual power of the ice attribute and the spiritual power of the water attribute respectively. They mingle with each other in the ocean, and they are inseparable from each other.
Even the little stone couldn't help but be amazed by this ocean of spiritual power. Its parasitic natal sword is now immersed in this sea of spiritual power, and it is very comfortable.
"It must be because I helped you absorb a lot of sword spirits! Otherwise, ordinary people can only turn into a small pond at most if they build a foundation! How can they turn into an ocean!"
"Really?" Shen Ci smiled and flicked his fingers, the Ice Heart Jade Spirit in his body worked, and an Ice Spirit True Qi shot out along his fingertips, carrying the cold of ice and the sharpness of the sword, freezing the one-person-high copper candlestick in the quiet room.
Ice Heart Sword Finger!
"It feels so good to hold the power in your hands!" Shen Ci smiled and shook his palm.
This time, he was in retreat in an ashram. In addition to breaking through the foundation building and consolidating the realm, Shen Ci also practiced all the spells at hand.
From the trickle of clean water to the water shield, there has been an improvement.
He also learned a new spell called "Izumi", which turns an area of the ground into water, and suddenly gushes out of the spring from the bottom up, knocking enemies into the air.
If caught off guard, it is easy to inflict a one-hit kill! The lethality is very strong! But the disadvantages are also obvious, and it can only be used in ground combat.
As soon as Shen Ci came out, he couldn't wait to find Fu Yunsheng to practice a few tricks, but he was told by the disciples stationed there. The Qinghe Sword Sect was summoned, and Fu Yunsheng and Guan Ningning had already gone back shortly after her retreat.
"Do you know what's going on?" Shen Ci asked.
If it wasn't for something important, Fu Yunsheng would definitely not leave her who was still in retreat.
Liu Huai shook his head: "It's not clear, I didn't hear Senior Brother Fu mention it." It's just a blessing to us, if you go out of the customs, senior sister, it will also make you feel like you're back in the sect. β
"Okay, I got it. Shen Ci frowned and nodded, "What about Ma Lanlan?"
"She's better, she's still in her old room. Liu Huai said.
After half a month, Shen Ci stepped into this room again and saw a completely different Ma Lanlan.
Because she was used as a furnace, Ma Lanlan looked unusually slender, and her little face was not as big as a palm. With black hair combed into braids and a light blue jacket, the whole person looks simple and beautiful.
"Have you thought about it?" asked Shen Ci. She believes that even if Ma Lanlan doesn't choose to go with her, with her current appearance, she can live strongly.
"Think about it!" Ma Lanlan nodded firmly, and knelt down with a "bang".
Shen Ci was taken aback: "What are you doing here?"
"Please let me finish kowtowing!" Ma Lanlan said, kowtowing heavily, "I kowtow to thank you for saving my life." β
"Knock-" There was another solid kowtow.
"The second kowtow is to thank you for waking me up. β
"Boom-"
"The three prostrations are to thank you for giving me a chance to get out of the sea of suffering. β
After saying this, Ma Lanlan fell to the ground and burst into tears.
"Okay, that's good! It's great to see you cheer up!" Shen Ci couldn't help but redden, and hurriedly wanted to help her up.
Ma Lanlan refused to get up, choked up and continued: "The grace of reinvention cannot be repaid. I am willing to be a slave and a servant, and serve my benefactor to repay!"
Shen Ci sniffed and said with a smile: "Where you have to be a slave and a maid! When I am a servant and disciple, the treatment is still very good!"
Ma Lanlan refused to agree to be a disciple of the attendant, and insisted on following as a slave.
Shen Ci couldn't, and thought that Ma Lanlan didn't have a spiritual root, and if she wanted her to be his acolyte disciple, she might not be able to, so she had to nod and agree.
Ma Lanlan still refused to get up, and said: "The Ma family has abandoned me, and in the future, I will no longer be a member of the Ma family, but a benefactor and your domestic slave, please let me follow your surname." β
Shen Ci smiled: "It's just a surname, if you like it, you can have the same surname as me." In the future, it would be great to have one less poor Ma Lanlan in this world, and one more happy Shen Lan!"
This time, Shen Ci used mana, and Shen Lan stood up without thinking.
"You listen to me. Because you don't have a spiritual root, it's not easy for you to stay in the sect. Externally, just as you say, internally, I don't want to hear you call yourself a slave! No one deserves to be your slave or maid! You are your own!"
