Chapter 132 Most Things Are Not What You Want
Looking at Xiaobai who was in a trance, Lingxiang shook her head and pushed him.
"I was thinking of telling you something, but you just got so caught up in yourself. What's the point?"
Xiaobai smiled and picked up the pot to fill the wine cup.
"I wonder what's bothering you, young lady? Tell me slowly, and I'll enlighten you."
Ah Jin and he had known each other for many years, and it was a case of fighting and then becoming friends. If this divine messenger advised him in this way, he must have a reason.
Since he cannot be Lingxiang's way out, he will just be her companion. Even if he can keep her safe, he will be satisfied.
Lingxiang took a sip of the floral wine in the cup, then took a breath and slowly placed the cup on the tile.
"I've said before that I have a residual spiritual root. Since ancient times, people with residual spiritual roots have been few and far between, and eventually they can only give up cultivation. I've thought about what would happen if I gave up cultivation. I thought I would find a place with mountains and rivers, where I could work from sunrise to sunset and rest."
"Xiaobai, if this is really how my cultivation is in this life, and it is God's will, then I will devote myself to nature and become a person who leaves the world behind, which is also not bad." Lingxiang said and turned to look at Xiaobai.
When Xiaobai saw the expression on her face, he knew that this was the first time she had said this to someone.
"If you really love mountains and rivers, I will accompany you. You live in the mountains, and I live at the foot of the mountains. We will be neighbors. When we have nothing to do, we can go hiking and fishing together. It is really very pleasant."
Lingxiang smiled when she heard that, and it seemed as if such a scene had already appeared before her eyes.
"But I happened to meet Linglong when I was about to give up. It's like a mouse caught by a cat. No matter how hard it tries, there is always a gap, and the mouse will fight desperately for that chance of survival." As she spoke, she picked up the wine cup and took another sip. Suddenly, she felt that the wine didn't seem so difficult to swallow anymore.
"I've been working so hard to refine pills, hoping to one day be able to use them to repair my spiritual roots. However, after all these years, I've never found a good method."
"One day, I found a fragment of a recipe in the book my mother left behind. It was called 'Returning to Heaven'. Even just hearing the name, I knew it must be powerful..."
Lingxiang paused while speaking. Xiaobai turned around and saw that although her face was calm, she looked like an old person who had seen through the world.
…
"What I don't know? What do you mean?" Lingxiang asked in surprise.
Hua Ling smiled and pointed at Linglong in Lingxiang's hand: "Of course it's the Huitian Pill."
Hearing this, Lingxiang was shocked. She had never thought that she would hear about the Huitian Pill from someone else in her lifetime.
"You mean, you know how to make the Huitian Pill?"
This time, the recipe for Tiandan was just a piece of paper. She only found half of it, and the other half was missing. It looked like someone had deliberately torn it apart.
Could it be that my mother doesn't want anyone to know about this pill?
If it is really possible to return to the heavens, why can't they stay? But if it is not possible, why did they choose the word "return to the heavens"?
"Of course I don't know how to refine it." Hua Ling said, turning around and looking into the distance, but there was nothing there. "I'm just a small Hua Ling, how could I know these things?"
Lingxiang was puzzled. If he didn't know, how could he know how to return to heaven?
She felt strange, but then she heard Hua Ling say, "Although I don't know how to refine 'Return to Heaven', I know that what you are pursuing cannot be helped by 'Return to Heaven'."
"If that's the case, how do you know it can't help me?"
Hua Ling smiled upon hearing this and pointed at Linglong: "Of course it told me. Fairy Tu Mi's lifelong pursuit was to save lives. When she first refined Huitian, she naturally had the same idea in mind. In other words, Huitian can only save people, but cannot help you practice. And..."
"Besides, there is no such thing as a resurgence in this world, and this elixir cannot bring the dead back to life as its name suggests."
Lingxiang's eyes widened when she heard this, and her face was full of shock.
How could there be no chance of recovery? The elixir that my mother had refined was clearly meant for me to take!
Seeing Lingxiang like this, Hualing just smiled and said, "I know you will say that you used Huitian, but think about it, did you really come back to life? Or was it just a life for a life?"
A life for a life means...
Mother?
Looking at the painting spirit with the face of the fairy Tu Mi in front of her, Lingxiang was filled with surprise, fear and horror!
If that's really the case, then mother...
Did he kill himself? !
Lingxiang's heart was churning, and she almost fell down due to an unsteady step. A lotus leaf beside her reached out and helped her up.
"You mean... the Resurrection Pill requires a life in exchange for another's?"
Hua Ling stopped smiling at this time.
"That's right. I think the reason Fairy Tu Mi tore up the prescription was because she didn't want anyone else to refine this medicine. And she didn't curse the Demon Lord with your life back then. That curse didn't require any sacrifice at all."
"The reason you have a damaged spiritual root is because Fairy Tu Mi transferred half of her cultivation to you. However, you were so young that you couldn't withstand her cultivation. That's why your spiritual root was damaged."
"But if I don't practice with you, you won't be able to take the Life-Restoring Pill. You must be very clear about the matter of pills."
…
Looking at Lingxiang's face as gloomy as water, Xiaobai felt that she seemed to be heartbroken and began to panic.
"Don't make up stories out of nothing. Life is always full of disappointments. You'll always encounter..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lingxiang.
"Yes!" Lingxiang sighed, "Most of the time, things are not satisfactory, but there are only a few that can be told to others..." As she said that, she drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and a tear slipped down the corner of her eye.
She raised her sleeve and pretended to wipe the corner of her mouth to hide the tears in her eyes.
"Hey, life, no matter how unhappy it is, we still have to go on. What's the reason for you looking like this? My life is very precious, and I will never do something so desperate. Come! Drink!" He poured himself another full cup.
…
Long Qi hadn't slept well in the past few days because he hadn't seen Lingxiang. When he heard footsteps, he quickly got up and ran out, and saw Xiaobai carrying Lingxiang into the yard.
"You said... these old guys... they're always going to fool me!... They even said I was a troublemaker! I think they're the ones who want nothing more than chaos!"
Lingxiang raised her hand and hugged Xiaobai's neck, talking drunkenly.
Seeing this, Long Qi hurried forward.
"She...she is...drinking alcohol?"
Since he knew Lingxiang, he had never seen her drink alcohol. She was so drunk. Could it be that something upset her?
Just as I was surprised, I found that Lingxiang was holding Xiaobai in a very indecent posture.
"Give me!"
As Long Qi spoke, he reached out to take the incense. Xiaobai looked at him and let go after a long time.
"Look, it's not that I don't want to give her to you, it's just..."
But Lingxiang was now hanging on Xiaobai, so even if she didn't need to be held, she wouldn't fall. She was also mumbling something, but no one knew what she was saying.
Long Qi hurriedly pulled off the Lingxiang. The force exerted on Lingxiang's mind made its already confused thoughts even more confused. When it saw that it was Long Qi, it pounced on him.
"Ah...disciple! Mother is back!"
Without waiting for her to finish, Long Qi carried her on his shoulders, glanced at Xiaobai, turned around and walked towards Lingxiang's room.
…
Ah Jin, you said I am not Lingxiang Shenglu, so is he?
