383 Being Grounded for Cultivation I (2/2)
…
In the following days, Ning Que felt as if he had gone back to the early days when he was in the old library. He lived a peaceful and simple life. He ate, slept, read, and thought, and then repeated it, all very attentively. He spent all his dreary time and boring life on reading.
With the help of those two books, Ning Que controlled the Great Spirit skillfully and the Great Spirit in his body became purer and thicker. Meanwhile, he had gotten a further understanding of the circulation rule and the reason for its existence. He even made great progress in Talisman Taoism.
He was able to realize that the key to breaking the inhibition and leaving the cliff cave was to work out this question from the Headmaster of the Academy. But he failed to find any clues and he had no idea how to combine the two auras with light and dust or how to make them vanish.
Ten days quickly passed by. The Third Sister Yu Lian arrived at the cave. Her loose uniform was briskly blown like a flag while on the cliff, but was quiet as a piece of silk once inside the cave.
Ning Que greeted her briefly and, without wasting a minute, he took out the paper with his recently encountered questions and asked her for advice about the difficulties he was having during reading.
Yu Lian thought for a moment and started answering his questions. She answered briefly, perhaps even too briefly, but her answers always got to the point. Ning Que was inspired by these simple straightforward words and could easily see a new path out of the fog.
In the end, Ning Que stopped for a while and began asking about the Qi Refreshing method that was in the last part of the book.
Yu Lian frowned a little and remained silent.
Ning Que noticed that Sangsang was doing embroidery in the sunshine outside the cave and he thought that this was the reason for his Senior Sister not answering him.
Yu Lian smiled and said, ”Our teacher won't mind if she listens because she is allowed to accompany you here. And the Qi sounds like a Devil's Doctrine skill, but no one would care since we're in the cave far away from people.”

The next day, Chen Pipi climbed up to the cliff platform and was completely out of breath.
Ning Que teased him for a while. He was unhappy because Chen Pipi had not visited him for so many days.
Chen Pipi complained about the precipitous stone path and the high cliff, but he was not forgiven by Ning Que. He sighed and decided to leave Ning Que there. Then he started practicing the no-boundary spirit alone.
”The no-boundary spirit means that no clue could be found by the appearance, like a wild goose's footprints in the snow, no one is able to figure out where it is.”
”When you want to move, then move without thinking. How could your enemy know what you intend to do?”
Chen Pipi raised his right arm and, with his ring finger slightly lifted up, he pointed at the sky above the cliff.
An invisible aura burst out from his finger and shot into the wall of the cliff cave, instead of following the direction in which the finger pointed.
That was the most compressed ultimate Qi of Heaven and Earth.
It flew over Ning Que's shoulder and shot against the hard wall of the cave. A small, round, dark hole appeared on that wall along with a whizzing sound.
No one knew how deep the hole was.
