But while money can be earned, spiritual power is a rare opportunity.
As a cultivator, Bai Yunqi immediately began to try to absorb the faint spiritual power in the jade marrow.
However, there are too many impurities blocking this body, making it difficult to fully absorb spiritual energy. It needs to cleanse its meridians and marrow first.
Bai Yunqi gritted his teeth, disregarding everything else, and sat down on the ground. With the help of the spiritual energy of the jade marrow, he circulated the heaven-defying cultivation technique from his previous life, forcibly cleansing his meridians and marrow.
Dark, dirty substances seeped from the skin as time passed.
He reeked of a foul stench, as if he had fallen into a cesspool.
As darkness fell, Bai Yunqi suddenly coughed up a mouthful of foul blood.
The large piece of chalcedony raw stone also lost its original color, turning gray and dull like an ordinary stone.
These jade stones are not enough to thoroughly cleanse and refine the body.
However, he could barely circulate the small amount of spiritual energy within the Spirit Jade Marrow.
Even with just that, he was able to do something he had wanted to do for a long time today.
Covered in filth, Bai Yunqi stood up, stepped out of the pit, and immediately ran towards home.
As he ran, Bai Yunqi exclaimed, "Even after half of the marrow cleansing process, I can clearly feel that my body is much lighter!"
"Dog Egg?"
Suddenly, an adult called out to him.
Bai Yunqi's lips twitched; it was such a down-to-earth name, but he still nodded in response.
"Um!"
"You fell into a cesspool!"
Bai Yunqi: ...
The man looked at Bai Yunqi and said, "You should go home now, your parents are going crazy looking for you!"
Then, ignoring Bai Yunqi's reaction, he turned around and shouted towards the doorways of each house, "Goudan has been found! He fell into the latrine! But he climbed out on his own!"
Bai Yunqi, who has undergone a thorough cleansing and marrow-refining process: ...
You're the one who fell into the cesspool!
...
My older brother has run away, and my parents have gone out to look for him.
Juanjuan also wanted to go find her older brother, but her parents wouldn't let her.
She even asked the neighbor's mother, Da Chui, to look after her, as well as her second and third brothers.
Juanjuan could only stand at the door, quietly looking around, hoping to wait for her family to return home in the darkness.
Along with Juanjuan and the others, Wang Jiadachui was also waiting.
Suddenly, Wang Dachui took a deep sniff.
"Little Juanjuan, can you smell anything unpleasant?"
No!
Big Hammer suddenly lost interest in the white flour pancake in his hand: "Take a closer sniff, it smells like a cesspool!"
Bai Yunqi, standing at the corner: ...
Before Bai Yunqi could even leave, he saw a little kid from the same village running past him, covering his nose.
He was shouting loudly:
"Found it, found it."
"The lost Bai family dog egg has been found!"
A passerby I met asked, "Where did you find it?"
The little kid covering his nose: "I fell into a latrine! I climbed out by myself!"
A passerby who happened to meet him exclaimed, "Wow! That's rare!"
Wang Dachui: "Juanjuan, your brother fell into a cesspool."
Juanjuan: ...
Bai Yunqi, standing at the corner, remained silent, simply turning and leaving.
I just felt that I couldn't stay in this village anymore.
Maybe he should just leave!
Running away from home at this time shouldn't be considered excessive.
"Juanjuan, look! Isn't that your older brother wrapped in poop?!"
The sound of the sledgehammer rang out excitedly.
"Big...brother?"
Juanjuan's childish voice rang out, filled with doubt, expectation, and even a complex mix of disbelief and shock.
Bai Yunqi paused in his steps.
No, I wish a bolt of lightning had just struck me dead back then!!
Just then, the neighbors who had heard the news rushed over.
The crowd was growing rapidly.
Bai Yunqi took a deep breath and made an excellent choice.
That is...
"Juanjuan, your older brother fainted! He fainted!"
"Bai Jia Gou Dan has fainted! Quick, help him up!"
"You guys help me up, but I'm not. It stinks too much, ugh..."
"yue..."
...
When Bai Tian and Jiang Dai rushed back.
The villagers nearby have already moved Gou Dan into the Bai family's courtyard.
Lying on the ground along with Gou Dan were several pieces of tattered cloth.
The villagers used rags to separate their hands from Gou Dan before they carried him in.
"Bai Tian..."
Aunt Wang was the last to leave. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but turn back and call out to Bai Tian'er.
"Hey! Aunt Wang!" Bai Tian replied.
“You…” Aunt Wang sighed, “Your family has been having a lot of bad luck lately. I know a fortune teller, she’s really good, but she only charges one or two taels of silver. Why don’t you come and take a look at her?”
That's right.
It's only been two days.
Yesterday morning, the whole family was riding in an oxcart when it overturned.
This morning, Juanjuan and the others got into another fight with Huani'er, and Er Mao was beaten so badly that he vomited blood.
The eldest son of the Bai family, Gou Dan, went missing again this afternoon, but the good news is that he has been found.
But falling into a cesspool isn't exactly good news either.
Bai Tian paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. If I'm still unlucky in a couple of days, I'll go and ask you for help myself."
"Alright, you two..." Aunt Wang glanced at Gou Dan, who still reeked of stench, and looked at Bai Tian and his wife with pity: "Take your time cleaning up!"
Bai Tian:......
It definitely needs a thorough cleaning.
At night, when every household should be resting.
The Bai family, however, were busy washing Dog Egg.
Beside the vegetable garden in the yard, a simple frame was erected with two bamboo poles, and a piece of tattered coarse cloth was hung on the frame as a curtain.
Behind the curtain stood Bai Jia Gou Dan, who was already "awake".
The roll is burning.
Jiang Dai was fetching water, then carrying it to the stove to wait for it to boil.
Bai Tian was responsible for carrying the hot water behind the curtain, and casually reminded him, "Gou Dan, wash yourself thoroughly again!"
Bai Yunqi, scrubbing himself vigorously in the bath: ...
"knew!!!"
