During the time after Qin Ran's death, Bai Ruoxi was bored and determined Long Qiqi's physique, but she disliked Long Qiqi for being too thoughtful and did not teach her how to practice, nor did she give her a good technique.
In the end, Long Qiqi could only practice by himself.
But her aptitude was so poor that she had been meditating for more than a month, but she hadn't even felt the Qi.
"How long did it take you to sense the energy?" Long Qiqi sat on the swing, looked up at the sky, and asked Li Shiyin who was sitting on the chair.
Li Shiyin has been researching medicinal herbs for some reason lately and wants to learn how to make pills.
At this time, she was lying on a chair, with a book covering her face, her mind wandering... No one knew whether she read the book or not, but she had slept enough.
Hearing Long Qiqi asking her this, she thought for a moment and replied:
"People's physiques cannot be generalized. Everyone has their own special features. Some people are not sensitive enough, so they will be slow to sense the Qi, but they may be able to practice quickly afterwards; some people may be able to sense the Qi quickly, but they will be slow to practice afterwards. Just like my master said, those cultivators who do not have a solid foundation will easily be stuck in the Jindan stage for their entire lives. And..."
Although she knew that Li Shiyin was comforting her with good intentions, Long Qiqi was not comforted at all. She had thought that after becoming a human, it would be very easy to practice. If not a thousand miles a day, then at least a hundred or ten miles a day, right? But why was she just standing still every day?
"Just tell me how long it took you?" She interrupted Li Shiyin impatiently.
Li Shiyin had a book covering her face and extended her right index finger towards Long Qiqi.
Looking at that white and well-proportioned finger, Long Qiqi suddenly felt hopeful. She asked cautiously, "One month?"
If a genius like Li Shiyin, who is praised by everyone, took a month, then it would be acceptable for her, who couldn't feel the energy in a month.
But the index finger, which was as thin as a peeled onion root, shook left and right.
Yes, after all, he is a genius, so ten days is understandable. Long Qiqi nodded and asked again: "Ten days?"
The index finger shook again.
Long Qiqi felt frustrated. It turned out that people are different. A genius is a genius. She was indeed not worthy of practicing!
"One day?" she sighed.
The index finger still shook.
Long Qiqi looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that this world was boring.
"To be specific..." Li Shiyin took the book down, revealing a lovely little face. She said to Long Qiqi, "It was a moment. On the day I arrived at Danfeng, my master told me that the first step in cultivation is to feel the Qi. Then I went back to my room to meditate, closed my eyes and began to feel the Qi. I sensed that in my stomach... that is, in the Qihai acupoint, there was a stream of air flowing gently."
Long Qiqi doesn't want to live anymore.
"Don't worry about me. I'm going to kill myself by hitting myself with a piece of tofu."
Seeing Long Qiqi's expression, Li Shiyin hesitated to speak. She was not very good at comforting people. After thinking for a while, she thought of a positive case and said to Long Qiqi, "My master was also very slow in sensing the Qi. He said it took him several months. But look at him now, isn't he very powerful!"
"Oh, thank you. I feel comforted." Long Qiqi replied indifferently.
But she was comforted. She thought, maybe it’s not that people are different from each other, but that people are different from monsters. She looked at Zhuifeng who was sleeping on the cat climbing frame and asked loudly, “Big stupid tiger, how long did it take you to sense the qi?!”
"It's over!" Li Shiyin shook her head. Why did she have to go to Zhuifeng? She covered her face with the book and waited for Long Qiqi to be hit again.
"An?" Zhuifeng looked over with misty eyes, not hearing clearly what Long Qiqi asked.
"Sense the Qi!" Long Qiqi emphasized.
Zhuifeng raised his big head, thought carefully, then shook his head and said with a big tongue: "I don't know..."
"Are you so stupid?!" Long Qiqi was speechless. He didn't even know when he could sense the qi?
"Ah..." Zhuifeng yawned and said innocently, "I don't know when I got angry... It just came out of nowhere."
"Okay!" Long Qiqi was choked. From what he said, it seemed that the other person was not in a hurry to practice. He just ate and drank as he pleased throughout the day, and naturally he would have the energy, build the foundation, and embark on the path of practice.
Long Qiqi now had no idea what to say. She was swinging on the swing, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing that Long Qiqi had nothing else to ask, Zhuifeng lay down and went to sleep again.
As this guy got older, he slowly regained his appearance as a big cat. He was either sleepy or on the way to sleep, always lazy and listless.
Look at the big lump on the cat climbing frame. Who can tell that he was as lively as a dog when he was a child?
Long Qiqi swung on the swing for a while, then suddenly stopped, stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Li Shiyin asked casually while still "reading" a book.
"I'm going to commit suicide!" said Long Qiqi.
"Oh..." Li Shiyin responded, but didn't even look at Long Qiqi.
Because anyone can commit suicide, except Long Qiqi.
This middle school snake is a woman who wants to become a divine beast. She always says that she wants to destroy the entire Lingnan region and build a world with only monsters.
Long Qiqi found Qin Ran by the Sword Washing Lake. Qin Ran was holding a willow branch and studying it by the lake.
The willow branch belonged to the Devouring Demon Willow. The place where Qin Ran stood was where the spiritual energy from the bottom of the lake was drawn out. He was studying how to plant the willow branch, how to make it receive the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and how to make it survive.
"Is this the Devouring Demonic Willow?" Long Qiqi walked over and asked.
"Yeah." Qin Ran nodded.
"Do you want to plant the Devouring Demon Willow?" Long Qiqi asked again.
"right."
"You dare to grow this kind of demonic creature?"
Qin Ran looked at Long Qiqi in confusion and said with a smile, "How dare you call him a demonic creature? You are a poisonous snake yourself."
Long Qiqi looked at the Sword Washing Lake, where there was only very shallow water. She hesitated for a moment and replied unconfidently, "It's different..."
"What's the difference?" Qin Ran shook his head and said to Long Qiqi, "What devil path, what immortal path, they are just a kind of power. Immortals and devils, life and death, no matter how you distinguish between living beings, they are just a manifestation of the way of heaven.
"When cultivating immortality, the first thing to understand is that the heaven and earth are not kind and treat all things as straw dogs. Whether it is a human or a snake that becomes an immortal, the heaven does not care. If the heaven has eyes, then in his eyes, you are no different from the dirt and gravel under your feet.
"I planted the Devouring Demon Willow not to restore it, nor do I have any evil intentions. I just want to study it.
"Besides..." He looked at the willow branch in his hand, "This is a level nine demon beast!"
Long Qiqi found that Qin Ran's realm was really different. She stood by and watched Qin Ran find a good position and stick the willow branch into the soil, then asked, "Can you teach me how to practice?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a weird uncle?" Qin Ran gave Liu Zhi a little breath of life and asked Long Qiqi.
"I doubt your character..." Long Qiqi said, "but I believe in Shiyin's sword."
Qin Ran laughed in silence.
He stood up, took out a book from his Qiankun bag, threw it to Long Qiqi, and said, "Then follow me and become an alchemist!"
Long Qiqi picked up the book and saw the words "Basic Fire Alchemy Technique" on the cover. The words were written by Qin Ran. Obviously, this was a basic technique that Qin Ran had prepared for her a long time ago.
She looked at the book cover with mixed feelings.
