C18 (2/2)
Qiu Hong was the only person I felt was kind to me. On one hand, he was the one who gave me advice when I came to the Sky Sect, and on the other hand, his expression, his smile, and his courtesy were the complete opposite of Qiu Xi's.
”Youngest junior brother is here. Go in, Master is waiting for you inside.” Senior Qiu Hong nodded and smiled when he saw me.
I also smiled and said, ”Thank you, Senior Brother Qiu Hong.”
Inside, Qiuxi sits on a mat and opens her eyes to look at me. In front of him, my smile didn't appear, but it didn't have the hateful expression I always had when I wanted to eat him alive.
”That's right. In eight months' time, my mind has been in a state of concentration and not dispersing at all. It seems that I have had enough time.”
I didn't say anything. I turned and quietly sat on another cushion that had already been prepared.
Qiu Xi didn't mind. She waved her hand and took out a medicine bottle. She poured out a thumb-sized, light-red medicine pill. The pill was very fragrant and had an indescribable smell.
”This is an Opening Spirit Pill. This pill is not normal, it is personally concocted by me. It is ten times stronger than normal, but not ruthless. It will help you break through to the Enlightenment Spirit Realm in one go.”
I faintly glanced at him and said, ”You are not my master.”
Qiu Xi's expression did not change. It was unknown whether she was angry or calm. This was a crafty old fox. He was happy and angry at the same time.
”There are three in the spirit realm. One is Spirit Enlightenment, two is Spiritual Movement, and three is Spiritual Pill. The initiator of the Dao, at the beginning of cultivation, received spiritual energy in his body and tempered him, thus prolonging his lifespan. With a wave of his hand, he could send sand and rocks flying; with spiritual energy as a liquid, his spiritual energy would be unendurable, causing the earth to tremble; with spirit pills, one's qi would become a pill, with the pill not being broken, the force would be endless, and the pill would be broken and cultivated anew. Spirit pills didn't need to be consumed every day. Spirit pills needed to be cultivated at all times. Actually, these are just the three realms that we divide ourselves for the sake of power. There is no need to investigate further. ”
”I have been in the Spirit Pill realm for more than a hundred and sixty years. I can't enter the Sky Realm, so my life force is already gone. I will let you inherit my Dao, and I will not regret it even if I die.”
”Although this old man has two disciples, Qiu Xuan and Qiu Hong, and both of their talents are good, I can't help but feel that both of them are not suitable for me. Qiu Xuan also has feelings that he cannot let go of, and Qiu Hong has paid too much attention to scheming. After following me for ten years, it's hard to change.”
”Why are you telling me this?”
”I'm telling you, I want you to know that the reason I chose you is not just because I'm domineering, but because I have the will of the Heavens to do what I want!”
”Destiny?” I sneered. ”I still believed it in the past, but now …” Shaking my head, I said nothing more.
”Hmph, how ignorant!” Qiu Xi grunted.
I've already set up a spell formation. No one can disturb your awakening. With me protecting you, no one in the entire Heavenly Sect will dare to cause trouble!
As Qiu Xi spoke, her body exuded a domineering aura. It was a bit cold and made people shudder.
I looked at him and poured out the Enlightenment Spirit Pill from the bottle. After looking at it for a while, I swallowed it.
The moment the pill entered my mouth, it immediately turned into medicinal juice. It didn't flow down my throat, but went straight to my brain, and in that instant, I felt an extremely cool sensation in my head. The intensity of this feeling made me want to yell towards the sky.
The praying mat suddenly disintegrated, but it didn't dissipate. Instead, it turned into a ball of mist and entered my nose. I can clearly see that there is a hint of yellow in the fog! At this moment, he had no idea how dense this spiritual energy was!
Spirit awakening required a large amount of spiritual energy to change one's physique to the point where it could contain and absorb spiritual energy. This was just a process to open up the path of cultivation.
Such a large amount of spiritual energy drilled into my brain, it almost made my head explode. I endured the pain, not because I wanted to, but because the pain in my head was so cool that I had to endure it.
That spiritual energy gradually spread out from my mind and covered my entire body like my sweat. It felt as if my entire body was being torn apart by a gust of air, especially my stomach. The pain in my stomach made me unable to hold it in any longer.
”Endure it!” This process may be painful, but it is extremely thorough. If you manage to reach the Spirit Enlightenment Realm, you will definitely become someone of the same cultivation level! ”
Although I had heard it, I still could not endure it. Pain filled my mind and I really wanted to die.
Fortunately, the pain didn't last long before it started to dissipate. Although it was still obvious, it was much better than before.
My eyes were red, my mouth, nose, and ears were bleeding. I staggered to my feet, feeling exhausted.
Qiu Xi stared at me unwaveringly, afraid that something might happen to me. I didn't know if it was due to concern for his dao or something else, but his gaze reminded me of an extremely bloodthirsty animal, a wolf!
The pain gradually dissipated from my body. Just as I was about to collapse onto the ground, an air wave exploded from my body.
”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
My clothes were torn to shreds, and the blast of air shook the entire wooden house violently. Maybe it was the support of the formation, but it didn't collapse, and the echoes in the house didn't spread out!
A long roar continues for a few breaths and that blast of air retracts back into my body. I feel my internal organs being pressured and I spew out a large mouthful of blood.
