Chapter 7 Spiritual Exploration

When Jiang Xia saw Lu Huai, a hint of surprise flashed across his calm eyes.

If he remembered correctly, his junior brother was still a mortal yesterday, but today he was at the first level of Qi training.

It seems that the junior disciple that Master accepted this time is extraordinary.

Although spiritual roots are important, personal understanding is also important, and Lu Huai is one of those people who has excellent understanding and talent.

"Big Brother~"

"You're here." Jiang Xia nodded slightly, motioning them to sit down. "But do you have any questions about your cultivation?"

His question was mainly for Nan Xiao. This junior sister's spiritual roots were a little weak, and there was a genius like his junior brother. The comparison between the two could easily cause psychological pressure, and it would be bad if she went astray.

As the eldest brother, sometimes you still have to pay appropriate attention to your younger brothers and sisters.

Lu Huai shook his head, as if everything was going well and there were no problems.

Seeing that both of their eyes were on her, Nan Xiao lowered her head guiltily, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

You can't say that she fell asleep after reading last night.

She also wants to save face.

She swore that she would practice hard when she returned today and would definitely kill everyone.

Seeing that Nan Xiao remained silent, Jiang Xia was secretly reflecting on himself, wondering if he had said something wrong.

After all, little girls are quite thin-skinned.

Tsk, why hasn’t Elder Li come back yet?

He then took out a book from his storage ring and placed it in front of Nan Xiao, "Junior Sister, this is the cultivation method I used before. I'm giving it to you."

The cover of the book was slightly yellowed. Nan Xiao took it and flipped through a few pages. His eyes lit up. Although it was all basic cultivation techniques, it was very detailed. The slightly more difficult texts were annotated next to them, allowing people to understand the meaning after reading it once.

This is quite friendly for getting started.

And she just needs it!

"Big Brother, did you write this?" Nan Xiao closed the book, looked at him with admiration, and flattered him, "Big Brother, you are amazing."

Jiang Xia was stunned, then smiled.

"As long as it helps you."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's so much." Nan Xiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Really? Let me see, let me see."

Lu Huai smiled and leaned half of his body toward the south. He looked for a long time but couldn't see clearly.

"This is a gift from my senior brother. I won't give it to you." Nan Xiao put the book back.

Lu Huai: "Xiaoxiao, take a look."

"I really want to see it." Nan Xiao's eyes turned, and he changed the subject, "It's not impossible."

Lu Huai moved his chair next to Nan Xiao.

"Call me senior sister and I'll show it to you." Nan said with a smile.

Lu Huai "..."

Not really interested in watching it.

Ten seconds later...

"Senior sister, please let me take a look."

"Hahahaha..., okay... okay..., here you go, here you go." Nan Xiao thought it was really fun to tease children. In the original story, Lu Huai joined the Tianjian Sect and was a dull and silent child.

But she felt that this was how Lu Huai should be.

How can a young man lack youthfulness?

Jiang Xia curled his lips helplessly. His junior sister was too lively. It seemed that his previous thoughts were really biased.

Nan Xiao and Lu Huai had enough of the fight, so they asked about the doubts they had when they came.

Jiang Xia replied, "Different spiritual roots do react differently when drawing energy into the body."

There is another thing that Jiang Xia didn't mention. Most people cannot condense any physical objects when drawing Qi into their bodies. It's just that the range of their five senses' perception is clearer and farther than usual.

As for Lu Huai, he is a talented player, so it is better not to say it out loud and discourage the enthusiasm of the junior sister.

Jiang Xia solved a lot of doubts for the two of them, and the topic gradually deviated to small talk.

"Oh, big brother, I heard from Master that the second, third, and fourth senior sisters are now in the foundation-building stage. So what is your level of cultivation, big brother?" Nan Xiao asked.

Nan Xiao made a blind guess in his mind about the golden elixir.

Lu Huai also stared at him with curiosity.

Jiang Xia's body stiffened slightly, his gentle features dimmed, and he said in a mocking tone, "He's currently in the early stages of the Nascent Soul, but he might not be in a while."

After saying that, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it all.

I don’t know if it was Nan Xiao’s illusion, but at that moment, the eldest brother’s temperament seemed to have changed.

The eldest brother usually gives people the impression of being calm, elegant, gentle and approachable.

But just now, Jiang Xia gave Nan Xiao the feeling that he was in a cold abyss, so cold that it made his scalp tingle.

Nan Xiao slapped his face. It must be an illusion because he didn’t sleep well last night.

Almost out of instinct, Nan Xiao didn't ask any further questions.

But Lu Huai didn't notice it, and turned into a little fanboy, admiringly saying, "Wow, Senior Brother is so powerful. Is he going to break through?"

During the few days I spent with the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, I heard them talk about how powerful their eldest senior brother was. He entered the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 28 and was the best among the younger generation.

Now look at his eldest senior brother, he is only 24 years old but already in the early Nascent Soul stage, much more powerful than that chief of the Tianjian Sect.

Jiang Xia pursed his lips and remained silent, and the atmosphere around him became suppressed.

Nan Xiao saw that something was not right and began to change the subject.

The three of them sat together and chatted for more than two hours. Nan Xiao had a general impression of everything from small cultivation techniques to the personalities and temperaments of several senior brothers.

But this is different from what Master said.

Master said that the second senior sister was gentle and well-behaved, while the third and fourth senior brothers were naughty and disobedient.

Why is it that when it comes to the eldest brother, it's the second sister who gets into trouble every other day and never has a moment to rest, while the third and fourth brothers are as docile as rabbits every day.

So... who of them is right?

Nan Xiao didn't bother to think about it. They were all from the same sect, so they would meet again someday. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he returned to his own courtyard and took out the book Jiang Xia had given him.

She followed the instructions in the book and began to meditate, slowly relaxing her body, calming her mind, and carefully feeling everything around her.

The sound of wind blowing through leaves, the chirping of birds, animals and insects, every sound is pleasant to the ear...

Nan Xiao was like a traveler walking in the dark, not knowing the direction and walking tirelessly.

Until she saw two bright balls of light, one was a dazzling red and the other was a comfortable green.

Is this...her spiritual root?

Nan Xiao tried to touch them, and at this moment, something magical happened. One red and one green entered her body like naughty elves.

At the same time, the wood spirit roots and fire spirit roots in her dantian were completely lit up.

The surrounding environment began to change. Even though she had her eyes closed, she could still clearly feel everything in the house.

An indescribable feeling, perhaps this was the divine consciousness mentioned in the book. Nan Xiao found it magical and couldn't help but immerse himself in exploration.

She tentatively extended her consciousness from the room and felt a slight pain in her head. Nan Xiao felt that she could still hold on, so she bravely continued to try.

Until I passed out from the pain.
