Chapter 13: Ambergris

When her daughter arrived, Shangguan Lan did not return to her previous position, but the elders did not change. As before, Shangguan Yao and the others began to exert their strength.

A trace of nervousness appeared on Shangguan Lan's resolute face, and the Great Elder suddenly said after finishing his movements: "Family Master, hurry!" Shangguan Lan did not dare to slack off at any time. I have been paying attention to the form of Changzhong, and at this time, when I saw the Great Elder speak, I immediately took action. He turned his head, raised his right hand and took out two fingers, pointed to the jade plate under the stone cave dragon statue, and held the pulse of his right forearm left and right, and his hands were energized at the same time. Luck holds up the ambergris on the plate.

Shangguan Lan looked at several elders, as if asking for their opinions.

The four elders looked at each other for a while, as if they were communicating something, but they didn't make a sound. After a while, the Great Elder spoke: "Xue'er is extremely talented, and her body can withstand a grade of ambergris, and so is Minghao. ”

Shangguan Lan didn't procrastinate, and his luck skills lifted the ambergris and flew here out of thin air. When he got to Shangguan Xue'er's side, he opened his mouth and said to her, "Xue'er, open your mouth and swallow the ambergris." Shangguan Xue'er obediently swallowed the ambergris. I only feel that this liquid is slightly cold, colorless and tasteless, and it seems to slide in the mouth when swallowed. Along the way, I felt like drinking a cup of ice water in June, which was extremely cool. Before Shangguan Xue'er could enjoy the cold feeling, the mutation protruded, and the ambergris instantly became hot like boiling water. A wave of heat burned all of Xue'er's internal organs into pain, and her face turned pale.

Several elders knew that the effect was onset and hurriedly increased their efforts. After a while, Shangguan Xue'er's pain was reduced a lot, but it was still there. I saw that her face was full of beads of sweat, and it was so uncomfortable that she could imagine it.

Shangguan Lan saw that her daughter was in pain, and she felt a little unbearable, so she said to her: "Xue'er, ambergris has an anti-heaven effect on cultivators, and the ambergris in your body has begun to attack now." It will generate a lot of heat, and at the same time, it will also change your physique, making your body extremely painful. The four elders use external forces to relieve your pain, but they can't eliminate it all. As the saying goes, only when you have to endure hardships can you become a superior person. The more suffering you suffer now, the more profound your cultivation will be in the future. ”

Although Shangguan Xue'er grew up under her father's doting, she also inherited Shangguan Lan's tenacity, and after listening to her father's words, her pale face showed a sense of arrogance, gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter is not afraid of pain!", but she was already trembling a little.

Shangguan Minghao and Lin Xin on the side were shocked, drinking ambergris and still having this kind of suffering? Why didn't the elder and uncle talk about it before? Although they were puzzled, they couldn't care so much, looking at Shangguan Xue'er with a painful face, the two of them were also extremely nervous, even for Xue'er and for themselves.

After about a long time of incense, the effect of ambergris gradually dissipated, and Shangguan Xue'er seemed to have survived a cold winter. At this time, her face gradually returned to ruddy, and it was obvious that she was no longer in the pain she had before. Several elders are all from the past, and they know what the current situation has reached, and they will all take credit.

"How's it going?" Shangguan Lan hurriedly asked.

Shangguan Xue'er touched the beads of sweat and said to everyone: "It was very uncomfortable just now, but now I feel a little different in my body, as if my whole body is hungry." ”

Hahahaha, Shangguan Lan and several elders couldn't help but laugh.

What kind of feeling is this? Shangguan Minghao and Lin Xin listened to Shangguan Xue'er's words on the side, and they couldn't understand what it was like to be hungry all over, and they had just experienced hunger before.

Shangguan Lan looked at her daughter and said with concern: "Xue'er, now the ambergris has changed the characteristics in your body. Now your meridians are wider and you are able to hold more aura when you cultivate. Moreover, the physical fitness has been greatly improved, which can make it easier for you to practice, so you should go to the side now and experience more. ”

Shangguan Minghao watched everything his cousin had just experienced from the side, and at this time, he was a little apprehensive and a little excited, and asked Shangguan Lan: "Uncle, is it true that the more this ambergris eats, the greater the benefits to the body?"

"It stands to reason that way. ”

Shangguan Minghao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then can I drink more ambergris than Xue'er? Then I will become stronger than Xue'er, right? I am a boy, I can endure more pain." ”

"Hehe" Shangguan Lan laughed quietly: "You think well, in fact, in the process of ambergris, the pain is only the appearance, and all you have to experience is the physical pain." And it is your talent that really accepts the change, and too much ambergris will cause the talent to break. If you're not afraid of becoming an ordinary person who can't practice, then eat more ambergris. Shangguan Lan bit the word "eat" from Shangguan Minghao just now.

Hearing him say this, Ming Hao was scared in his heart, and sighed.

The fourth elder Li Shuyi heard Shangguan Minghao's thoughts, and couldn't help but say to him worriedly: "Minghao, although the talent of a cultivator is important, the method in the process of cultivation is also equally important, you must quit greed and desire, you can still be saved if you haven't practiced now, don't have such thoughts in the future, otherwise it is small to be careful of going mad, and it is not an exaggeration to cut off the meridians and head of the body." You have to remember, you know?"

Shangguan Minghao nodded yes, and several other elders also said about him again and again.

With Shangguan Xue'er's previous experience, everything is the same in the future. Shangguan Minghao originally thought that he was a little man, and these pains were also very simple. But when it came, I found that it was really painful: "Ah, it hurts me to death!"

Shangguan Lan naturally knew how he was feeling now, but she couldn't see his expression, and deliberately provoked him: "Minghao, you still said that you can bear more pain, what Xue'er suffered just now is just that you didn't scream like this, and your current appearance is not comparable to Xue'er." ”

Shangguan Minghao is just a fourteen-year-old boy, how can he think so much in his heart. It worked, and he gritted his teeth and held back from screaming.

After it was completely over, Shangguan Minghao was not in much pain. There was a faint feeling of refreshment, and I wasn't called out in pain after this time, right?

"Hahaha, I feel so comfortable now!" Shangguan Minghao let out a strange scream, and the hot crowd rolled their eyes.

Now two of the three have gone, and only Lin Xin is left. Shangguan Minghao walked over and looked at Lin Xin and gave him a reassuring look: "Lin Xin, don't be afraid, this is bitter first and then sweet, the pain in front is only short-lived, and you will feel as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit later." ”

"Brother Minghao, what kind of feeling is it to eat ginseng fruit? Why didn't I feel it just now?" Shangguan Xue'er asked seriously. Shangguan Minghao said twice, but he couldn't say it.

At this time, the head of the family, Shangguan Lan, suddenly said to the three of them: "Minghao, Xue'er, Lin Xin's situation is special, you go to wait outside the cave first." As he spoke, he twisted the mechanism and opened the door to the Jade Dragon Cave.

The two of them only felt strange, what was so special about Lin Xin?

"Dad, why are we going out, I still want to see the process of Lin Xin drinking ambergris?"

Hearing her daughter's inquiry, Shangguan Lan said solemnly: "I said it, Lin Xin has a special physique, and the process of drinking ambergris is very dangerous, don't let you go out to affect the elders' work, if you make a slight mistake, it will hurt Lin Xin." ”

The two of them walked out of the cave, and Shangguan Wuji was still waiting outside. Seeing that only two people came out, he asked strangely what was going on. The two of them said that they didn't know what was wrong, but they just told him everything just now, and Shangguan Wuji seemed to have an understanding after hearing it.

After the stone door was closed again, Shangguan Lan stared at Lin Xin and stopped talking.

Seeing Shangguan Lan's thoughts, Lin Xin opened his mouth and said, "Shibo, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'll just listen." ”

Shangguan Lan sighed: "Hey, Lin Xin, just now the elders probed your innate talent for you, Ming Hao, and Xue. Xue'er and Minghao are both talented. ”

"Hmm. ”

"But I found that there was something unusual about your vein. ”

"Shibo, if you have anything to say, just say it, although I, Lin Xin, am young, I still understand many things, when a few grandfathers measured my talent just now, I can see from your reaction that I will definitely not be as good as Xue'er and Minghao's talent. Isn't that the case?" Lin Xin saw Shangguan Lan procrastinating in his speech, he must have been afraid that he would be sad and sad when he knew the situation, so he spoke a little tactfully.

Having said that, Lin Xin's mood was already extremely low. He has always had a desire to play, that is, to practice his cultivation in the future, so that he can find his father and mother. If there is no supreme Taoism, how can the world be so big, how can you walk outside?

Shangguan Lan has lived for decades, how can he feel alive at this time? He has such a free and easy child, but I twisted it, and immediately became ruthless, and said to Lin Xin: "Several elders just revealed the meridians of the three of you through secret techniques, so that we can judge how much aura can be used in your body during innate cultivation, and judge the strength of your talent. Shangguan Lan paused, and then continued: "And there is a death position in your meridians. ”

"What is a dead position?" Lin Xin has never seen what a dead position is in the book.

"If you want to understand the death position, you must first understand how we practice. In the process of practice, the practitioner must cultivate both internally and externally, and the two must complement each other and be indispensable. This internal cultivation is to increase the energy in the human body, this energy must be able to be collected and released freely, and when you practice, you must accumulate the aura of heaven and earth to improve yourself, and then the person's meridians will be full of energy, and so on and so on and repeatedly run in your body. The size of this energy will determine the size of a person's internal strength, and the greater the internal strength, the deeper the Tao, and vice versa. And the death position, that is, the veins that come out of several important acupuncture points in your place can only hold a very small amount of spiritual energy to pass through. Shangguan Lan carefully explained these unknown things to Lin Xin.

Hearing this, Lin Xin also understood, and asked, "Shibo, will my cultivation be very slow?"

"Yes, it does. ”
