Chapter 34 Daily Cultivation
After three sticks of incense, we arrived at the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.
Su Qingwu returned to the familiar wooden house, waved his sleeves and took out the Yuqing Mirror from the storage bag.
When Su Wen saw this treasure, his expression became somewhat complicated.
In fact, she didn't have much obsession with this space magic weapon.
He suffered all kinds of torture during his lifetime and never revealed the whereabouts of the treasure because he didn't want it to fall into the hands of his enemies.
Ning Feng and she were once classmates and had known each other for many years.
Before they fell out, she was not very wary of this person.
Otherwise, he would not accidentally let the other party know the existence of such a treasure, which would bring him great disaster.
Because of this, once they plot against you, you will hate them to the extreme.
In her opinion, the most hateful people in this world are not those who are enemies from the beginning, but those who appear friendly on the surface but secretly harm others.
After a moment, she put aside her complicated thoughts and said slowly:
"Qingwu, the Jade Mirror is a magic weapon. With your current level of cultivation, you cannot make the treasure recognize its master by your own strength. But I can assist you, but it will take a long time.
You haven't started the fasting yet, so my suggestion is to prepare some spiritual food to prevent yourself from getting too hungry and interrupting the process."
“I wonder how much I should prepare?”
"At least five days' supply."
Su Qingwu pondered and said, "The sect's meals are limited in quantity. If you exceed the quota, you need to pay spirit stones. The storage bag can keep the food fresh. I plan to use a few more days to store some spirit food."
Su Wen nodded.
"That's fine too. Oh, and there are two more courtyards of spiritual plants. We need to find a way to take care of them when the time comes, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble."
Su Qingwu hesitated for a moment and thought:
"After I joined the sect, I have always had a question. The spiritual plants planted in batches within the sect need to be carefully cared for every day, but how do those wild plants outside grow without anyone taking care of them?"
"How should I put it? It's the survival of the fittest. Countless wild spiritual plants die during their growth due to pests, diseases or lack of water. The few that remain are all very tenacious."
Having said this, Su Wen looked outside, pointed at the Huiling grass that was growing very well, and continued:
"Look at these nearly one-acre spiritual plants. If you ignore them for a long time, many of them will die for various reasons. But there will still be a few that will stubbornly survive."
Su Qingwu thought of another aspect, took over the conversation, and added:
"Just like us monks, there are countless people with spiritual roots in this world, but only a few can reach the stage of ascension."
"That's right, so keep working hard. I hope to see the big world one day."
"That day will come. Let's work together!"
......
Of the five techniques provided by Su Wen, Su Qingwu has only practiced one so far, so she devoted herself to practicing it for a period of time.
The first method tried was the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique.
Xuanjie magic is slightly more difficult to practice than Huangjie magic.
Fortunately, Su Wen gave me some advice from time to time, so the process went relatively smoothly.
At noon, Su Qingwu successfully mastered this technique!
He then stopped practicing, went outside, and tried out some techniques.
He silently recited the relevant incantations and simultaneously cast seals with both hands. A large cloud quickly condensed over the nearly one-acre spiritual field.
Then there was a loud crash and heavy rain came pouring down.
After a moment, Su Qingwu's spiritual power was exhausted and he quickly stopped casting the spell.
Su Wen's voice came at the right time.
"When performing this technique, you must try to slow down the speed of the spiritual energy circulating in your body, otherwise it will be like what happened just now. If you grasp it properly, with your current level of cultivation, you can probably support it for twenty breaths instead of exhausting your spiritual energy in an instant."
"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay more attention next time!"
Su Qingwu has now reached the third level of Qi Refining. Under natural conditions, it takes about half an hour for him to recover his spiritual power.
Seeing that lunch time was approaching, she continued.
"I'll go to the dining hall first and come back later."
Su Wen immediately said, "I suggest you recover some of your spiritual power before leaving. Although there are sect rules, we still have to be prepared for the unexpected. If you go out like this now and encounter danger, you won't be able to protect yourself."
"Yes, I neglected it."
Su Qingwu returned to the house with a look of regret on her face.
Su Wen saw her expression and said with a smile:
"You are still young, and it is normal to be inconsiderate about some things. Don't blame yourself. Just remember it in the future. When I was your age, I got into trouble every other day and caused a lot of trouble. Later, as I gained more experience, I gradually got better."
Hearing her say this, Su Qingwu tried to ask a question.
"Su Wen, have you ever thought about returning to Danxia Sect?"
"Of course not. What would I do there? Do you know how many years I've been dead?"
"This... I remember you mentioned before that if the enemy Ning Feng is still alive, he must have ascended to the upper realm. The life span of a golden elixir is 700 years. Excluding the time it took to cultivate to this realm, it should be about 400 to 500 years?"
"Not only that, I have been dead for nearly a thousand years, and there is no one I know in the Danxia Sect... Moreover, when I was assassinated by Ning Feng, it was not that no one in the sect knew about it, but they chose to stand by and watch.
For me, Danxia Sect has long become a thing of the past, and I have no intention of returning to it. Even if this sect encounters a crisis one day, I will not care. "
Su Qingwu did not object to Su Wen's idea.
When he was imprisoned, his former fellow disciples watched him die without helping him, and his enemies were also from the same sect. As time went on, no matter how much sense of belonging he had, it was all worn away.
Of course, in the world of immortal cultivation, selfishness is the norm, and no one has the obligation to help others.
Su Qingwu would not criticize those who watched others in danger without helping.
Different positions naturally lead to different views.
......
After staying in the house for an incense stick of time and recovering half of his spiritual power, Su Qingwu left temporarily and went to the dining hall.
In order to store as much food as possible, she ordered a lot of spiritual meals until the supply reached the critical point.
A plate of braised wild boar, three bowls of black rice, a plate of stir-fried water spinach, a plate of steamed mercury fish, six steamed buns made from white corn wheat...
The sect allows disciples to leave with unfinished meals, but the containers they were placed in cannot be taken away.
Therefore, before Su Qingwu came to the dining hall, she picked some large non-toxic leaves along the way.
After lunch, use this to pack up any extra food.
......
Two sticks of incense later, we arrived at the bluestone courtyard on Cuimu Peak.
Su Qingwu returned to this place and first observed the status of many spiritual herbs.
The Spring Breeze and Rain Technique can speed up the growth of spiritual plants, but she couldn't see any difference from before.
Inside the wooden house, Su Wen saw her doing this and immediately shook his head and laughed.
"To speed up the growth of spiritual plants, you need to cast the spell every day for many consecutive days before you can see the effect. If you can see significant results after just one cast, then this technique should not be at the Xuan level, but at the Tian level."
Hearing this, Su Qingwu scratched his head, a little embarrassed on his face.
She was too impatient.
Come to think of it, speeding up the growth of spiritual plants is, to some extent, a violation of the laws of natural growth.
Even if there is such an effect, it is estimated to be very limited.
Thinking of this, she returned to the house, looked at the woman in white who was still smiling, and asked in a gentle voice:
"What is the specific effect of using this Spring Breeze and Rain Technique for several consecutive days?"
