Chapter 104 Human desires are endless
"Splash, splash, bang..."
With Wenwen's height, it would take her at least several 360-degree turns to roll down the dozen or so steps, barely reaching the bottom. Due to inertia, she slid a distance before stopping in front of the bookshelf.
This sudden situation occurred in just 0.1 seconds.
Even the warbler at the door couldn't warn him in time; she could only watch helplessly as her owner fell flat on his face.
It wasn't until she lay on the ground and recovered for a while that Wenwen came to her senses.
What kind of fate does she have? She never learns from her mistakes, knowingly venturing into dangerous territory.
The courtyard is practically a death knell, one obstacle after another, endlessly. It's true, once you enter the palace gates, it's like entering a deep sea; the fate of mortals cultivating immortality is fraught with hardship.
Wenwen lay down on the ground, secretly cursing in her heart, until her anger subsided and the pain in her body disappeared, before slowly opening her eyes.
Her perspective was directly at the bottom of the bookshelf.
The bottom shelf was filled with books, arranged very neatly.
With her 2.0 vision, she immediately spotted a book in the middle of the bookshelf, with the title "The Art of Breathing and Cultivating Qi" written on the side. The title was exactly the same as her tattered copy.
Driven by curiosity, I pulled out the book and eagerly opened it.
The more she looked at it, the more she couldn't stop smiling, and she held up the book and shook it vigorously at Aying.
"Ah Ying, am I turning misfortune into blessing? This kind of blessing, if it happens a few more times, if I fall a few more times, it's not a bad thing."
"Master, did you fall and get stupid? A misfortune can turn into a blessing in disguise, or a misfortune can never come without a blessing in disguise, do you understand?"
"Pah, pah, pah, you jinx, you can't stand to see me doing well."
"No way! Master should read more books and practice more."
Aying was too lazy to say more, so she turned and flew away.
Wenwen held the book with great affection, her enthusiasm undiminished.
It turns out that this book is the complete collection, and her incomplete copy was only a small part of the beginning.
In other words, the incomplete book is merely an introductory text on guiding Qi into the body. Even the most skilled cultivators can only reach the first level of Qi Refining with it, just like her grandfather. Without the later chapters, he would not have been able to continue his cultivation.
Now that the complete collection is in her hands, the whole family can cultivate it. Shouldn't she be excited?
If Ah Ying were here, she would definitely tease him, saying that he should be excited, but after the excitement, he should work hard.
Wenwen understands this principle as well.
She held the book, carefully smoothing out the creases, encouraging herself that no matter what, she was determined to succeed.
Wenwen looked around, walked to the middle of the outer room, picked up a futon, and ran back to the inner room. She found a corner to sit in and began to read attentively.
If someone were to ask her, "Why do you have to read in the inner room when there are no other places to do it?"
Wenwen answered affirmatively: "The inner room has a better feel; it's surrounded by books, creating a stronger atmosphere."
If we're going to sit on the floor anyway, why bring the prayer mat from the outer room?
She would answer: I don't know why either, if you ask again, you're right.
At this moment, the only sound that could be heard from inside the room was the sound of Wenwen turning pages in her book, swish, one page, swish, another page.
Her inability to read was no longer a problem for her. Facing a thick, obscure book, Wenwen showed no sign of confusion.
If the teacher could see this, he would be very pleased. The poor student has finally caught up and even left everyone else far behind.
At this moment, Wenwen was sitting cross-legged, holding a book in her hand, looking at the book, and muttering to herself.
She uses both her eyes and brain to work together, not only seeing things but also memorizing them.
After a while, Wenwen put down her book, closed her eyes, and began to meditate, entering a state of deep concentration.
Entering a meditative state is now easier for her than before; she only needs to silently recite the mantra two or three times.
Soon, Wenwen sensed that the spiritual energy particles around her were gradually increasing, gathering more and more, and becoming colorful in all colors. Suddenly, a small breeze drifted in from outside the window, causing the particles to rise and fall, dancing up and down.
Wenwen relaxed completely, attracting them to slowly approach her, and closer still.
The approaching particles swirled around her, slowly forming a huge vortex.
Seeing that the whirlpool was many times larger than her grandfather's, she finally understood what it felt like to be in the midst of a storm.
I felt both nervous and excited.
Wenwen circulated her breath, silently recited the incantation, and prepared herself to welcome the arrival of these spiritual energies.
Before long, the gathered spiritual energy vortex broke open, and like a floodgate being opened, it all rushed into Wenwen's body.
If Wen Yuanqian were fortunate enough to witness this scene, he would be extremely envious and jealous.
If he could use all this spiritual energy, he could directly reach the third level of Qi Refining.
It's a pity he doesn't have that benefit.
Such a large amount of spiritual energy entered Wenwen's body, but the final result was only that she hovered on the edge of the first level of Qi Refining, barely passing the test.
"Phew... I've finally taken a step forward."
Wenwen opened her eyes and carefully felt the changes in her body. She felt an indescribable sense of ease and was full of energy. She had an idea she wanted to express.
He suddenly stood up, channeled his spiritual energy into his feet, and, in coordination with the steps of the Shedding Shell Technique, leaped out of the door in a few strides. He ran towards the back mountain, faster and faster, enjoying the ride more and more.
Halfway up the mountain, Xianbao was playing with the foals. Wenwen ran over quickly without even glancing at them.
After passing through the medicinal herb fields and fruit orchards, turn east and you'll see fruits glistening in the sunlight in the distance.
Sure enough, a few more have grown.
Having just exhausted her energy and nearing her limit, Wenwen plopped down on the floor.
Leaning against a large tree, sit cross-legged and adjust your breathing.
I don’t know when it started, but her resting posture suddenly changed to cross-legged sitting, a change from her previous sprawled-out posture.
At least he has acquired some of the elegant demeanor of a cultivator.
"Master, you can fly? You're running so fast, I can't keep up with you."
Xianbao's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Fast? Is it really that fast?"
"Yes, there are, faster than me."
Catching up with Xianbao's speed and flying around to patrol the mountains was once Wenwen's biggest wish. Now that her wish has come true, it doesn't feel so special anymore.
That's how people are; once one wish is fulfilled, there's always an even bigger one waiting for them, it's endless.
Wenwen's current wish is to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible. She wants to refine pills and become a wealthy alchemist. This is her biggest wish at the moment.
As for whether there are even bigger ambitions, who knows? We can only take it one step at a time.
For a moment, my thoughts wandered freely, drifting into the distance.
"Ouch!"
"Shh, shh!"
A rustling sound interrupted Wenwen's thoughts.
Before she could say more to Xianbao, Wenwen flashed out of the space.
She opened her eyes, sat up immediately, and looked in the direction of the sound.
She saw her mother, aunt, and other relatives tiptoeing past her bed and heading out.
"Oh my! You sat up abruptly, you scared me half to death."
"Hey, Wen'er, what are you doing up here?"
"I'll go help you," Wenwen said, and started to put on her shoes and get off the bed.
"I don't need your help. Go back and get some more sleep, be a good girl."
"I think you don't want to grow taller anymore. Go back to sleep."
Wenwen fell silent!
I tried to help but was met with personal attacks.
She looked down at her tiny, bean sprout-like height; who wouldn't want to grow taller?
"Of course I want to, I'll go to sleep right away."
Taking a nap is not bad either; my breathing quickly becomes steady.
Not long after, Wenwen's breathing suddenly became rapid. She rolled from side to side and struggled for a while before her eyes snapped open.
