Chapter 9: Spirit of Space
Xing Bai nodded her head cutely, blinked her eyes and said, "Hanhan, I like this name. Once you draw Qi into your body, you can practice the Primal Chaos Heart Technique. You must practice quickly so that the Moonlight Bracelet can grow and not be downgraded again."
"Demoted again? I just saw that Bai Wu has retreated a lot. Didn't he advance to the next level?" Gu Shihan asked puzzledly.
Xing Bai rolled his eyes at Gu Shihan and said, "Huh, have you seen my body? I have been consuming my own energy to keep the Yuehua bracelet running all these years. I couldn't help it before when it had no master.
Now that I have a master, of course I need you to maintain me, and I also need energy recovery, which must be provided by you, master."
"So that's how it is. I will practice hard!" Gu Shihan promised while hugging the fluffy little white fox.
"Hanhan, now that you have drawn the energy into your body, you should awaken your spirit in the space. However, you can no longer practice in the space after awakening your spirit." Xingbai said.
"Why?!"
"Because the space is already on the verge of downgrading. Alas, if it downgrades? I don't know how long I will have to sleep." Xingbai said with a bitter fox face.
"Is there such a thing? There is no spiritual energy outside at all, how can we practice?!" Gu Shihan said worriedly.
"Hanhan, my stupid master, you are a pure body of chaos. You don't have any spiritual energy from the outside world, but don't you have the five elements of power? Those are what you can use when you practice, but the disadvantage is that your progress will not be fast.
As you advance, the space will also change as your cultivation level improves. As long as you can make the white mist in the space retreat another thousand feet, you don’t have to worry about losing a level, and I can also circulate and replenish my energy by myself.”
"Okay then. I will practice Spirit Awakening right away. Xingbai, what do I need to do?" Gu Shihan said anxiously.
"You should remember the secret of the Chaos Sutra! Fetch a bucket of water!" Xing Bai asked Gu Shihan to do it himself without any hesitation.
The water was ready. Xingbai went to the pool and got a bowl of milky spring water and added it to the bucket.
With a wave of the little claws, a jade bottle labeled with Marrow Cleansing Pill flew into Gu Shihan's hand. Gu Shihan did not hesitate, poured out a pill and swallowed it.
"Fuck. That hurts so much. Why does it hurt so much?"
The dense pain soon spread throughout the body, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at my flesh and blood. My internal organs were also in pain, and it felt like everyone's bones were being smashed and reassembled, over and over again.
Gu Shihan felt as if every pore was screaming, and the pain made him feel like he couldn't live or die.
Xing Bai said at the side, "Hanhan, hold on! Don't let yourself faint. The longer you hold on, the better. The better the effect of awakening the spirit and cleansing the marrow, the faster your cultivation will be in the future. Come on, I'm rooting for you!"
Gu Shihan gritted her teeth and persisted. She could still endure this little pain, but this body was a little weak. What flashed through her mind was the pain of training in her previous life. Thinking of this, the pain of marrow washing didn't hurt so much.
Two hours passed and the awakening of the spirit was over. Xingbai raised his claws and a ray of white light entered Gu Shihan's forehead.
Countless characters and images appeared in his mind. Gu Shihan sat cross-legged and slowly cleared the meridians according to the contents of the characters and images, holding on to the Dan Yuan and guiding the spiritual energy into the body.
Suddenly, a stream of spiritual energy broke through the barriers and penetrated the whole body. The meridians that had been aching slightly a moment ago no longer hurt. There was a stream of air flowing in the body, followed by two soft sounds.
"Hanhan, you are so great. You have broken through to the third level of Qi training. Just circulate your spiritual power for another cycle and you will be able to get out of this space. It stinks!" The little white fox Xingbai waved his little paws, put a book next to Gu Shihan, and hid aside.
Gu Shihan took the book out of the space and went straight to the pond again. After washing himself, he returned to the cave and lay down to sleep.
Three months passed in cultivation. Gu Shihan lived a very comfortable life. When he hadn't cultivated, he would go into the space to take care of it. His cultivation level was upgraded again, and the space changed again. The white fog retreated another ten feet.
Now Gu Shihan has reached the fifth level of Qi training and has also learned some basic spells.
However, the book said that magic cannot be used on mortals who have not practiced, so she can only use ordinary kung fu to travel the world.
Perhaps it was because her physical fitness had changed. Her skills were no longer comparable to those in her previous life. They were much stronger than in her previous life, and her speed was more than 20% faster.
"It's time to go out and take a look." Gu Shihan didn't know anything about this world. The original owner was too young and only knew Lingshan Village.
I have only been out twice since I came here, and the farthest I went was to Qingxi Town. I haven't come into contact with any people or things, so I am really in the dark.
Gu Shihan took out an ordinary jade ring, recognized its owner and put it on his finger, then put away all the daily necessities.
Of course, a lot of spiritual rice, spiritual vegetables, spiritual fruits and spiritual liquids were prepared in the jade ring.
Xingbai said that space is a taboo no matter when and where, and should not be shown to others easily. Even in this mundane world, one must avoid others and develop and learn to live without relying on space.
After leaving Lingshan, Gu Shihan came to Lingshan Village. He heard the villagers' discussions from time to time, and he felt completely relieved.
It turned out that the Shi family thought that Shi Peng had stolen Shi Po's coffin and went out to have fun, and they did not realize that Shi Peng had entered the wolf's belly.
Gu Shihan smiled, quickly left Lingshan Village, bought a few sets of clothes, shoes and socks in Qingxi Town, and set off.
She didn't have any destination. She mainly wanted to see the customs and culture of this strange world. After visiting several places, she felt very disappointed.
The status of women here is really too low. Men can have three wives and four concubines and can hang out in brothels.
Women could only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children and were not allowed to go out. In short, it was an era where husbands were the gods and men were seriously superior to women.
Of course, women in rural areas have a harder life. They have to go out to work like men, and when they return home they have to do laundry, cook, take care of children, and serve their elders and husbands. They have no autonomy at all.
Of course, those who have sons can live better at home, but there are also some cowardly men, and strong women can hold the power in the family. The old woman is one of them.
A woman without a son has a hard life, and her daughter will also be a target of criticism.
Gu Shihan smiled. This was entirely about this body. Shi Zhuang was still okay. When he couldn't protect his wife and daughter, he would find ways to make up for it. He was a good man.
Gu Shihan secretly made up his mind that he would live as a man from now on and must live freely and unrestrainedly.
Besides, she also wanted to see if there were any immortal cultivators in this world. There was no spiritual energy here, but she came here and practiced. Since she was cultivating immortals and embarked on the path of cultivation, she must have the mind of a cultivator and it is right to yearn for higher places.
