382 Three Books II (2/2)

He cast the water talisman this time.

While the light yellow Fu paper disappeared in the air, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the cliff cave slowly gathered together to form a ball of water and fell into that empty bowl.

After some slight ripples, the water became still.

Looking at the water that was gradually becoming muddy, Ning Que's face showed some complex expressions. He then opened the book and started to compare it with certain contents in the book.

And then he cast the water talisman once again, letting the water fall down to the ground and keeping his eyes focused on the water that was gradually disappearing along the stone crevices just like numerous invisible snakes.

The bowl was a tangible object, and so were the stone crevices. Even this entire world was also a giant tangible object.

The water became a semicircle when it fell into the bowls, invisible snakes when it flowed through the stone crevices, a bead curtain when it was reflected by the clouds, and numerous particles when it was transformed into rain.

The water itself did not have any tangible shape. It only became tangible when it interacted with some tangible object.

That was what the no-boundary really meant.

”Is the Qi of Heaven and Earth just like water?”

It was not difficult to draw such a conclusion. Looking at that book, Ning Que did not show any complacency. He was trying to find something in this book to prove that the inhibition of the cliff cave was relevant to this conclusion.

After some time had passed, Ning Que woke up from his pondering. He kneaded the spot between his eyebrows exhaustedly and then noticed that Sangsang had come in.

”Do you remember that you said that you were terrible at sewing when we were about to leave for the Wilderness? You sent all the needlework to Xiaocao because you didn't want anyone else in the city of Chang'an to see your sewing. Where did you get these?”

Ning Que asked.

Sangsang raised her head and scratched her itching temple with the end of a needle, and said, ”I got those from Seventh Sister when I went down the mountain yesterday. I have to do something to kill time.”

Thinking that it was indeed boring for her to stay on the cliff platform, Ning Que gave the book to her and said, ”You can read this when you feel bored.”

Sangsang was surprised. ”Am I allowed to read this book?”

These two books had been secretly hidden by the Academy and were carefully selected by the Headmaster for his disciple. Regular people were not supposed to see this book, let alone Sangsang. However, Ning Que had already gotten used to sharing every good thing with Sangsang, sometimes he even put Sangsang first rather than himself.

The most important reason was that he had grown to be a penny-pincher due to their childhood poverty. Though he did not have to worry about money, he still tended to make full use of everything.

Ning Que said, ”These are the best books in the world. You will regret it if you don't read them.”

Sangsang felt pity and said, ”But I don't understand the contents.”

Ning Que said, ”Even the shameless Great Divine Priest of Light wanted to accept you as his successor. You must be very talented in cultivation, maybe even more so than me or Chen Pipi. I should've developed your talent during all these years. Maybe you are really a genius in this aspect.”

Sangsang burst into laughter and said, ”You're making fun of me again.”

Ning Que said, ”Anyway, just take a look, it can't hurt.”

Sangsang was convinced. She took the book and started to read it carefully.

Ning Que continued to read the book of the Origin on Primordial Qi of Nature. The more he read, the more sense he thought the book of the West-Hill Divine Palace made because, in that book, the Qi of Heaven and Earth absorbed by the Devil's Doctrine was regarded as the same as Haotian Divine Light.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He saw a whole set of skills of Qi refreshing at the end of the book!

When he inherited Youngest Uncle's skills at the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine, it was the remainder of the sword style in the sword mark left by Youngest Uncle that rushed through Ning Que's Ocean of Qi and Snow Mountain. Then, the Great Spirit rushed through his body, spinning the Qi in his lower abdomen, and it began to absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth around him.

At the moment, once Ning Que started to use his Psyche Power to absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth, he would not be able to control the whole process nor know how to make the process more efficient.

If the skill of Qi refreshing at the end of this book was for real, did that mean that he would be able to speed up cultivating the Great Spirit and improve his capacity in a short time?

Holding the book, Ning Que's hands were slightly trembling. The suffering of being imprisoned in this cliff cave was immediately replaced by surprise and gratitude towards the Headmaster and Third Sister.

This book had to be shared. Such a discovery and happiness had to be shared! He turned back and wanted to share these with Sangsang.

But Sangsang had already fallen asleep.

Looking at Sangsang, who held the book and had deeply fallen asleep without leaning on the cliff cave, Ning Que could not help smiling. He thought to himself that she indeed did not have the talent for cultivation, or at least, she was not good at studying.

After a while, Ning Que carefully read the part of Qi-refreshing Skill once again. When he was able to memorize every single word in that part, he slowly closed his eyes.

He began to refresh Qi for the first time.

The Qi of the Greatest Spirit.
