C18 (1/2)

I didn't take a look at the furnishings inside the wooden house. To me, everything that happened outside wasn't worth mentioning.

Qiu Xi told me to sit down cross-legged on the prayer mat. She turned around and took a bottle of pills herself, telling me to swallow them. I didn't hesitate, I just took one out and swallowed it.

I swallowed the pill. A moment later, I felt my stomach burning as beads of sweat gradually covered my forehead.

”Keep breathing, don't relax for even a moment!”

With Qiu Xi's words, I did not doubt him. I quickly took a deep breath, and as I breathed, the heat in my stomach lessened. My whole body felt warm and comfortable.

After a night of breathing, I feel much stronger than before. The current me is confident that I can defeat Xia Xi.

Seeing that I had finished absorbing the pill in one night, Qiu Xi revealed an astonished expression. She nodded and said, ”Needless to say, your talent is indeed astonishing. You could also be considered to have inherited this old man's Dao.”

I frowned. I knew that I was just a tool. If I really thought that I was the inheritance that he hoped for, then my life would be in vain.

Seeing me frown, Qiu Xi knew that I did not believe her. She revealed a rare look of bitterness, ”Do you think that I did all this for myself … However, it was for my own sake. People who cultivate the Dao can lose their lives, but their own Dao must be continued! ”I will not harm you. I merely hope that my own Dao will be like my own bloodline, and that there will be an inheritance for me.” After pausing for a moment, he looked at me with a complicated expression. ”One day, you will understand.”

Naturally, I ignored him. His words didn't affect me in the slightest. If the hatred of killing my family and friends can be washed away with a few words, why should I hate him?

Qiu Xi didn't think about it much longer and moved me. She just gave me another pill and told me to consume it. While I was cultivating, she said slowly, ”You're still too weak. You can come out after you finish absorbing this pill.” After that, he put down the bottle of pills and went out.

I ignored him and focused on absorbing the spiritual energy.

After a month, I opened the door. The spiritual energy in my body had increased several fold. In my generation, I'm not even afraid of Qiu Daoping.

The moment she heard me come out, she didn't even open her eyes. She only said slowly, ”Go to the back of the mountain and find Qiu Xuan and have him bring you to the waterfall. From now on, you can meditate and cultivate there.

I shot him a cold glance before I turned and left.

I will not accept his kindness. The death of the villagers is a seed, a seed that hates the Heavens. I don't know when this seed will sprout, but I hope that when it matures, not much blood will be needed to water it.

Senior Brother Qiu Xuan and Qiu Xi had the same face and were both cold and detached, so I hated him even more. When he saw me, perhaps he already knew what Qiu Xi was planning and silently walked towards the back of the mountain. Since he didn't say anything, I didn't want to speak either, so I followed him in silence.

The waterfall at the back of the mountain couldn't be considered to be small. It was about fifteen meters wide and thirty meters tall. Beside the waterfall was a flat boulder. It was obvious that it was specially ground for people to meditate on.

I didn't waste my breath and immediately jumped on my body and sat down cross-legged. The sound of the waterfall beside his ears was extremely loud, faintly affecting his state of mind, causing him to unconsciously feel agitated.

”I will send someone here for the daily meal. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave this stone without being summoned.”

I continued my closed breathing, ignoring him. Qiu Xuan didn't seem to care. After speaking, he turned and departed.

After he left, I slowly opened my eyes. I don't like Qiu Xuan. If I grow to the point where I can destroy the Sky Sect, I will kill him. I will not show mercy to anyone who is related to Qiu Xi. The faces of the people who burned down Ping An village flashed through my mind. I remember them very clearly.

With hatred in my heart and the constant roaring in my ears, this month has basically been spent in irritation and rage. Calming his heart and calming his heart, calming his heart and calming the waves, this was easier said than done. I didn't dare to sleep. I was afraid that the dream from that day would reappear.

When my heart can't calm down, I give up meditating and start meditating. Instead, I stare blankly at the flowing water. Watching the flowing water rush through the boulders, I don't think about anything.

When night fell, I looked up at the sky, there were stars and the moon, I quietly counted the stars, memories of the past, immersed in the past. Dark clouds densely covered the sky. When it was dark, I would quietly cry in the darkness. Lonely and helpless, at this moment, I was the real me … Over the past month or so, I gradually got used to the noise around me. Sometimes, I would wake up in meditation, blankly looking around me, watching the flowers bloom and blossom, listening to the chirping of birds, and sometimes actually smiling for some inexplicable reason. Although it was a wry smile on my face at times, it was obviously a luxury for me, I didn't expect to come so easily, so suddenly.

After three months of sitting on top of a boulder, I was already able to close my eyes and breathe, completely unaffected by the outside world. However, every day, I would sit there for about two hours, looking around me, looking at the life around me, quietly listening to the rumbling sounds of the waterfalls. When I didn't need it, it would be sealed in the darkest corner of my heart. Of course, if necessary, it would instantly fill my mind.

Half a year later, I realized that I was actually smiling and looking at the world from time to time, that two birds had even become friends with me, that they would occasionally fly in front of me, and that they would sip and rub their fingers, and when I reached out, they would fly into my palm and peck at my fingers a few times, tickling and quiet and beautiful.

After sitting here for more than half a year, there was finally a day when Qiu Xuan finally arrived.

I smiled at him. ”I've been waiting for you.”

Seemingly astonished, Qiu Xuan looked at my smile and furrowed his brows. After a moment, he opened his mouth and said, ”Master has summoned. Let's go.”

I looked at the two birds in my palm, and with a slight movement of my palm, the birds flew away tactfully, and perhaps one day, if I were still there and they were still there, I would come back and pick them up.

I stood up. My legs felt a bit numb. I secretly circulated the spiritual power in my body and recovered in an instant.

”Let's go. He must have been waiting for a long time.”

After I finished speaking, I walked quickly in front of him.
