The progress of "Soul Flame Art" is much slower.
The first step of this practice requires the practitioner to constantly "burn" his soul like a furnace. If he is not careful, his soul may really burn itself and he will be finished.
Xue Huan had to be careful.
But after burning for so long, she still couldn't sense the "soul fire" mentioned in the martial arts, so she could only do it slowly.
In addition, she also encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation. Before, her cultivation was very smooth, and her cultivation level was advanced step by step, and she basically did not feel any barriers.
Now her cultivation is still going smoothly, but she just can't break through the Qi Refining Stage and advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Moreover, she could sense that it was not her own problem, but rather that there seemed to be a natural suppression in this world that restricted her advancement.
Based on her experience of reading countless novels, she couldn't help but have a guess: could it be that the highest level allowed in this world is the peak of the Qi Refining Stage?
Then the level of this world is too low.
That's not the case. This world had immortal-level cultivators a long time ago, which is enough to show that its original level was very high. It's just that with the passage of time, the spiritual energy in this world has become increasingly thin, causing the upper limit of the cultivators' levels to become lower and lower.
It's like there's an invisible ceiling that keeps pressing down.
If the world is compared to a person, then this person is undoubtedly aging and going downhill.
If we want to solve the problem of the level cap, the temporary solution is naturally to break through the current world and enter a broader and "younger" world.
But with her peak Qi Refining level, is there any hope for her to break through and achieve "ascension"?
The fundamental solution is to reverse the world's decline and restore its youth.
Compared with the above method, this one is simply a fantasy.
How can human power change the fate of the world?
Could it be that she will be stuck at the Qi Refining Stage for the rest of her life?
In fact, with her current level of cultivation, and the fact that she drinks food containing spiritual energy every day, living to be a hundred years old is not a problem, and even living to be a hundred and fifty is within her reach.
It is almost twice as long as other people's lifespan.
But who would complain about living too long? Especially when given the opportunity to live a long life, and after witnessing the brilliant life of the Five Elements Master, she also wanted to try and see how far she could go on the road to immortality.
Now, before she could even exert any strength, the road ahead was already blocked. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
But in the final analysis, she doesn't have much obsession with immortality. She just wants to see more different scenery and experience all kinds of strange life. If she can live her life wonderfully and perfectly within a limited time, then she can also face the end of her life calmly.
What matters in life is never its length, but its breadth and depth.
Therefore, the most important thing is to enjoy life and live a good life.
This way, her many adventures will not be in vain, right?
After thinking about this clearly, she felt a sense of enlightenment in her heart, and her state of mind became more complete.
After coming out of the semi-seclusion state, Xue Huan discovered that it was already winter and the weather had become completely cold.
She first went to the foundation to deal with the things that had accumulated during this period. In fact, the foundation had been running well during her absence.
After all, she had already set up the framework before, and all she had to do was follow the rules and regulations.
The employees recommended by their foundation (those orphans from the Welfare Bureau) have basically been successfully retained, and the feedback from various businesses is all good news.
In addition, after investigation, the foundation has also provided financial support to some orphans, mainly beggars and children who have lost one of their parents.
The influence and popularity of the foundation gradually spread.
Material assistance is only temporary. What is more important is to help these children stand on their own feet and gain the capital to survive in this world.
Xue Huan asked her assistant to call Chen Tian and let him handle the task of buying the Ghost Crying Forest.
The ghosts in the Ghost Weeping Forest are gone, and because of the murders that occurred there, the Ghost Weeping Forest, which was already in a bad market, has become even less popular.
Now is a good time to buy it.
As for the various horror stories surrounding it? By the time the school is built and more people gather, what will there be to fear? Maybe it will even provide some new topics for discussion at the school.
It is said that many modern schools were built on cemeteries.
She spent half a day sorting out the affairs at the foundation. She had lunch at a hot pot restaurant, which was a good opportunity to inspect the situation in the restaurant.
After all, she is the largest shareholder of this store, and she can't just be a hands-off boss.
The hot pot restaurant's business has become even more popular since the beginning of winter. There are almost no empty seats in the lobby. Almost as soon as the previous table leaves, someone else sits down.
After eating a steaming hotpot in her own private room, Xue Huan relaxed in her chair for a while, feeling satisfied.
I called the shopkeeper to find out about the situation in the store and found that everything was fine. Even if there were any emergencies, they were all resolved.
Xue Huan didn't have much to worry about, but she still offered a suggestion to the shopkeeper: "We could buy some ice cream from Ye's Ice Cream Shop. Hot pot paired with ice cream is a wonderful and exciting combination. I'm sure someone would be willing to try it."
Don’t think that ice cream is a cold food and can only be sold in summer. In fact, some people prefer to eat ice cream in winter. It is so refreshing and especially when paired with hot pot, it is even more memorable.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment. There was really no way to put hot pot and ice cream together, but since the boss had given the order, he naturally had to do it.
It turned out that the combination of hot pot and ice cream was actually quite popular, which led to an increase in sales.
Of course, this is a later story.
After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Xue Huan walked to Zhao Ji.
Just think of it as a digestion aid after a meal.
Anyway, both stores are on the main street and not far away from each other, just over ten minutes' walk.
After the initial novelty period, Zhao Ji's business became noticeably quieter and more stable. Xue Huan felt that it was time to introduce new products.
She went to the food processing workshop at the back and taught Qiu Rong and Dong Yun how to make tea eggs, spicy hot pot, and milk tea. They would then teach the other female workers based on their experience.
All three are hot foods: fragrant and filling tea eggs, a wide variety of spicy hot pot to choose from, and sweet milk tea. They will surely attract many customers in this cold winter.
The ice cellar on the first floor has now become a warehouse. Only one of the freezers that were originally in the row against the wall is left, and the rest of the space can be used to place a new food counter.
The day was spent running around and inspecting.
The next day, Xue Huan drove a donkey cart from Shanghe Village into the city, with bags of processed duck down on the cart.
The weather is getting colder, and it’s time to show off your down jacket, a powerful weapon.
