Chapter 17 Brotherly Love
In this way, he focused on cultivating his spiritual power, and when he was mentally exhausted, he would light incense and meditate to recover. For the first time, Bai Mo experienced the boredom of cultivation.
After his mental power broke into the third realm, although he had been persisting in practicing, he could neither see nor feel the increase in his mental power.
I can only repeat the torture over and over again, and can only run all the way on the road of self-hypnosis, telling myself that my efforts will not be in vain and that hard work will bear fruit.
It was the ninth day. Bai Mo had finished cultivating his spiritual power and was meditating to recover.
In the spiritual world, the silver stardust has expanded again and is still rotating at high speed.
But Bai Mo keenly discovered that no matter how much he practiced, the stardust showed no signs of expanding. Instead, it gave him a feeling that the stardust was accumulating storms and waiting to explode.
The stars within the stardust were more agitated than usual, constantly hitting the boundaries of the stardust, as if trying to break free of some shackles.
As his perception deepened, Bai Mo discovered that the space stardust was surrounded by a layer of eggshell, or like a cocoon, which firmly yet flexibly restrained the expansion of the silver stardust.
“This is the first stage of perfection!”
The bottleneck from the beginner to the intermediate level is not terrible, you can break through it yourself, and the mage can break this shackles over time.
If you don't want to waste time, you can also baptize yourself with various natural treasures and make a breakthrough.
It is just said that those who have achieved a breakthrough through their own ability usually have higher mental power than those of the same level.
So Bai Mo resolutely moved into the space stardust, and led it to launch a fearless charge against the prison that restricted his growth.
“Hiss~~~~~~~~!”
The pain was so intense that it seemed like being cut by a knife or an axe. Bai Mo took a deep breath and offered some warmth to the world.
The violent impact caused the stardust to sway, but the shackles that bound it were still there, unchanged and still strong, as if silently mocking Bai Mo's overestimation of his own abilities.
Bai Mo was not discouraged. He felt that even the First Emperor could not succeed in one go.
Otherwise, such a great deed should be written down so that others can praise it.
Although he has done many great things, this is just a trivial matter in comparison.
Thoughts dissipated, and Bai Mo focused his attention on the silver stardust that had calmed down. He saw that the originally full silver color of the silver stardust had shrunk a circle, and its light dimmed slightly.
His cultivation level hadn't changed, but his magic energy had been exhausted, making the entire stardust appear dim. In addition, the turbulent stardust would also need some time to settle down.
Continuing his meditation, he estimated.
It will take about a day to recover.
After his spirit recovered, he began to cultivate his mental strength again.
Five days later, in the empty and silent space, Bai Mo was meditating. He had just finished his second attack on the intermediate barrier.
Then he heard three knocks on the door. They rang in his ears, waking him out of his meditation.
Naturally, Bai Mo knew that his cultivation acceleration card had expired.
So he turned around, looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, turned around and walked towards the door.
As soon as he took a step, he felt his eyes brighten and came to the outside of the temple gate and into the courtyard.
In front of him, an old monk in a red cassock was standing upright and looking at him with a smile.
"What did the donor gain?"
“Very big.”
"The donor has extraordinary talent, and this small temple can only provide some convenience at the initial stage. If you are destined, you can go to Xuanxuankong Pavilion."
"Xuankong Pavilion?" Bai Mo asked doubtfully, "Where is this?"
"You will find out if you are destined to."
"When will it be fate?"
“Fate comes and goes, and when fate comes, it’s the day of destiny.”
“…”
Bai Mo was speechless. He felt like he heard something and at the same time he didn't hear anything.
It sounds like it should be a Buddhist place. Could it be that the old monk doesn't want him to become a monk?
Shaking his head, he knew himself very well. He had no other hobbies but lust. Becoming a monk? Impossible.
When he arrived at the front yard, Bai Mo did not rush out, but lit a stick of incense in the main hall first.
Only then did he walk out of Jing'an Temple. Today was Friday, and he did not return to school immediately.
Bai Mo hadn't eaten properly for almost half a month, so he found a restaurant on Dianping that was not far away and had the highest rating. He wanted to have a good meal.
"Bai Mo! Why don't you go back to school?"
In a restaurant, Bai Mo, who was enjoying the braised pork, steamed fish, and sour radish and duck soup in front of him, heard a surprised question.
It sounded familiar, so he turned his head and saw a mature woman in a business suit, with short hair and a pair of glasses on her small nose, sitting at the table on the other side of him.
Who else could it be if not their class teacher Suning?
"Lao Su, why are you here?"
There was no panic on Bai Mo's face. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked vaguely.
"Lao Su!!!!" Suning's expression twisted for a moment, and he said helplessly, "I'm taking a break today, so I came here to eat."
"Oh..." Bai Mo glanced at his messy table and he was almost done eating.
He took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth.
"I just came out of Jing'an Stone Temple. I'm starving. I'll have a meal first. Teacher, take your time. I'll be back soon."
Having said that, he slipped away.
He loves studying and is a good student. He definitely doesn't feel embarrassed to stay here any longer.
…
In the evening, Bai Mo returned home from school.
He saw a young man who looked 70% similar to him, but with dark skin and the solemn and capable aura of a military magician, lying on the sofa watching TV.
"Hey, why are you back? You've changed a lot in a year, brother. How about I call you Bai Mo instead?"
Bai Mo raised his eyebrows, looked Bai Hanxing up and down, and smacked his lips.
“…”
Bai Hanxing clenched his hands, suppressed the urge to beat this man up, and directed his mental power directly towards Bai Mo, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Beginner level three? Did you take medicine?"
"Eat shit, I told you, I'm an unrivaled genius, I can surpass a lot of people just by practicing casually, I'm much better than you."
Bai Hanxing rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear. He saw that Bai Mo's aura was solidifying. This was definitely not something that could be achieved by forcing things to happen. In order to regain his dignity as the eldest brother, he said to himself:
"Even if you have talent, you must be modest and not impatient. Don't let it go to waste. I've seen many elders in the family group say that all you do is play around every day."
"I'm number one in my grade! And I also got first place in the training assessment a few days ago!"
Bai Mo didn't answer, and directly threw out two facts, and then said:
"I was just resting normally. What's the point of being competitive? The children of those uncles and aunts can be competitive, but they can't compare to me. It's just a pity."
Bai Hanxing was choked. He had just returned a while ago and didn't know much about Bai Mo's situation in the past year. He decided to observe first before drawing any conclusions, so he said:
"I don't want to bother with you."
"Tsk." Bai Mo curled his lips, took a can of Coke and sat on his lazy sofa.
"You haven't told me why you came back? Can't make it on the Qingyang sideline anymore?"
"A demon mine was discovered in the Middle Town of the Demon Capital, and a war has begun with the demon tribe of the Nine Peaks Mountain. I have been promoted for my meritorious service and have been transferred to the Middle Town of the Demon Capital. I will report there in a week."
"Demon mine?"
Bai Mo was stunned, remembering the light on the shadow wolf he saw at that time, Yang Biao's abnormal reaction, the subsequent actions, and Gu Changying's reminders and rewards to him.
He nodded, a hint of understanding flashing across his face. Looking at the light on the Shadow Wolf at that time, he thought it should be the Wind Demon Mine.
"So that's how it is."
"Yeah, that's it." Bai Hanxing thought he was talking to her and nodded slightly.
"Then you better not die. If you die, Master Bai will definitely let me be the mainstay. I will be stuck there and suffer a lot."
Hearing this, a string of black lines appeared on Bai Hanxing's head. He shifted his gaze from the news on TV to Bai Mo, revealing a look of disgust.
"Mozi, wake up and stop having those unrealistic ideas. This world is not safe, and your family can't protect you all the time."
"Besides, even if I die, Patriarch Bai will not let you be the mainstay. Your uncles both have children, and our father can still have another child."
"Good fellow, are you sure I'm not worthy?"
"You didn't want it, and now everyone is helping you."
"Okay, you better be."
"Just remember not to waste your time." Bai Hanxing said. He felt that they were still rather unfamiliar after not seeing each other for a year, and even trying to find an excuse to quarrel and improve their relationship was difficult.
Sure enough, it is more appropriate to beat them up to increase feelings!
"I know. I'm practicing again."
Bai Mo didn't want to talk about this topic, and felt a hint of danger, so he threw the empty can accurately into the trash can and returned to the room.
"Alas~" Bai Hanxing shook his head, feeling helpless.
In the room, Bai Mo also shook his head.
How could he not know that this world was dangerous? He initially thought that he was just an ordinary person and could not make any changes.
Even the protagonist in the original novel who later became a god of magic felt powerless in the face of these things, so how much could he do?
That's why he began to think about enjoying life. Although he has some talents now, he thinks the best he can do is to protect himself in a disaster.
Bai Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. He would enjoy his life while practicing. Even if he was harmed by a disaster that came out of nowhere, he would not regret it.
Once again, this is also for the good of the Bai family. The cultivation resources he now obtains are the second most in the family after Bai Hanxing. Although there are two people second to him, who else can he compete with?
Although he did not take the initiative to fight for these, it was all thanks to the efforts of the head of the Bai family.
But if we think about it further, I think the head of the Bai family must be feeling uncomfortable, right?
According to family rules, there can only be one first.
If you get first place, you must take on future responsibilities.
He didn't want to compete with his elder brother, nor did he want to take care of the family affairs. So, this was good for everyone.
More importantly, Bai Hanxing is not like Zhao Manyan's brother in the original novel. He is very caring towards me.
The annual holiday starts tomorrow.
Bai Hanxing discovered that his younger brother might really be a genius. How could he spend half a day playing and half a day practicing and surpass those of the same age in the family!
Afterwards, Bai Hanxing became a little annoyed. This kid was hanging around there every day, mocking him for his poor talent, and at the same time, he was being beaten by this kid.
Bai Hanxing felt that as the eldest brother, he should be magnanimous and endure it.
Two days later, Bai Hanxing saw his brother bring two girls home, one from the Mu family and the other from the Ai family, saying that he wanted to treat them to a meal and exchange some magic ideas with them.
However, those two girls couldn't even draw star trails, so how could they communicate?
This devilish kid tricked people into playing some magician simulation game, saying it would help with future practice.
Bai Hanxing really didn't want to see him misleading the students, and then the Mu family and the Ai family came to the door, so he reminded him:
"Games are only for entertainment, they are of no help to future cultivation."
"Brother Bai is right." Mu Nujiao took off the gaming helmet on her head and chuckled.
Bai Mo was speechless and took off his helmet. He looked at the two girls next to him, and then looked at his brother.
"Ignore him, he knows nothing."
"But this game is really not fun, and it's very different from reality." Ai Tutu pouted his chin and said, "And we are here to ask you for advice on how to practice!"
"This is how I usually practice. I play for half a day, practice for half a day, and combine work and rest. That's all."
Mu Nujiao looked at Bai Mo's sincere face and asked in disbelief, "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, why don't we go to the monitoring room and check the surveillance."
"That's not necessary." Mu Nujiao shook her head, looked at Ai Tutu and said, "Tutu, look, there is no shortcut to cultivation."
"Okay~" Ai Tutu pouted and glanced at Bai Mo. "Then let's just come and play with you today, Jiaojiao, Bai Mo, why don't we go out for a walk!"
Mu Nujiao looked at the time and did not object. After practicing diligently for several months, she also wanted to take a break.
So Bai Hanxing watched his younger brother go out with the two beautiful girls.
For a moment, he really doubted himself. Was it really wrong for him to work so hard?
However, he immediately dismissed the idea.
Bai Mo did come back in the evening. This guy didn't know how to thank his brother for his hard work, and he also mocked himself for not having a girlfriend at his age.
Although this was true, Bai Hanxing couldn't stand it anymore. His eyes gradually became dangerous as he looked at Bai Mo.
Bai Mo naturally saw the murderous look in his brother's eyes, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he spoke in a teasing tone.
"What's the matter? I've touched on your sore spot. Do you want me to introduce you to two cute high school students? You just need to call me Brother Mo."
"brush!!!"
Bai Hanxing flashed in front of Bai Mo and grabbed him by the collar. The physical strength of the high-level mage made Bai Mo unable to resist.
"What do you want to do!" Bai Mo screamed, "Master Bai, your son wants to rebel and you don't care!"
The head of the Bai family, who was staring at the tablet on the sofa, didn't even raise his head, pretending not to hear.
Bai Hanxing snorted coldly, "What are you doing! I'm going to beat you up! I'm going to make you waste your time, not work hard on your cultivation, and still go out to make friends at such a young age."
"I think you are jealous!" Bai Mo retorted.
"peng~"
"Oh my god, you really hit me!"
"Ouch!" Bai Mo covered his forehead and shouted, "If you hit me again, I will fight back!"
"You!" Bai Hanxing sneered, took out a pair of handcuffs, and handcuffed Bai Mo using the hand speed of a high-level wizard.
Bai Mo suddenly felt that he could no longer feel his magic system. "Oh my god, the magic-forbidden handcuffs, Bai Hanxing, you are shameless!"
"Bang!"
"You have no moral principles!"
"Bang!"
"Just wait, I'll fight back sooner or later!"
"Who are you talking to, old man?"
"Bang!"
In the room, Bai Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, in front of him was a fist-sized space magic crystal given to him by Bai Hanxing.
He muttered:
"Just wait! I will break into the intermediate level today. I will show up in front of you every day and taunt you and me to death!"
Zhuang Xingyan, who was playing mahjong and was standing on the second floor watching the show, came back to her senses and sighed slightly:
"Hey, we have a deep brotherly love. I taught you all that."
