Chapter 1612: He Wants to Become a Cultivator
Although it was very late, Leng Shaoting had not yet gone to bed in order to wait for Gu Ning's call.
Even though they had only been apart for half a day, Leng Shaoting missed Gu Ning very much. He wanted to talk to her and hear her voice.
However, knowing that Gu Ning was driving, Leng Shaoting did not say much to Gu Ning as he did not want to disturb her driving.
After Gu Ning returned to Century City, he also took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, it rained, so Gu Ning didn't go for a morning run. He also called Qiao Ya and told her not to make breakfast and to just go out and eat.
So Qiao Ya didn't make breakfast. When the time was almost up, she went out with Gu Ning and had breakfast on the way to the company.
Gu Ning spent the morning reading books as there was nothing to deal with.
At noon, Gu Ning called Shangguan Yang to greet him and asked him if he felt uncomfortable living there, or if he needed anything.
Although Leng Shaoting had arranged for Shitou to manage Shangguan Yang's life and gave Shitou a bank card with a huge amount of money as Shangguan Yang's living expenses, Shangguan Yang only needed to tell Shitou if he needed anything.
But they had just met, and Gu Ning was worried that Shangguan Yang would be embarrassed to speak up.
Since Leng Shaoting was not around, Gu Ning naturally took care of Shangguan Yang on his behalf.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yang is a very adaptable person. He doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, there are many new things waiting for him to explore! Gu Ning and Shangguan Yang said that they would go to see him in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ning's mood suddenly became heavy.
Because Gu Ning didn't just go to see Shangguan Yang, but had something to ask him, and she was afraid that she wouldn't get a good result.
I spent the afternoon reading again and didn't do anything else.
At five o'clock, Gu Ning left first and drove to the courtyard, leaving Qiao Ya to go back by herself.
Because there was some traffic jam on the road, it was already ten minutes after six when Gu Ning arrived at the courtyard. Lao Zhang had already prepared the food, but Shangguan Yang was not in a hurry to eat and waited for Gu Ning to come and eat together.
Although Shangguan Yang didn't feel bored being alone, he was still very happy that Gu Ning came to see him.
To be honest, when eating with Shangguan Yang, Gu Ning felt that she was full very quickly, because seeing Shangguan Yang wolfing down the food like a starving ghost, she felt as if those things were being eaten into her stomach.
Others look at plums to quench their thirst, but she looks at Shangguan Yang eating to quench her hunger.
After Gu Ning arrived, he had dinner with Shangguan Yang.
Shangguan Yang's appetite is still as big as ever, he eats the amount for five or six people in one meal.
Lao Zhang and Shitou were also eating in the courtyard, but they both just ate in the kitchen instead of eating at the same table with Shangguan Yang.
Leng Shaoting did not treat them unfairly. Not only was the salary generous, but the food was also good. They could eat whatever they liked without any restrictions. As long as they did their best, that was all.
After dinner, Shangguan Yang asked Gu Ning to practice the two moves he taught her yesterday.
Although Gu Ning had typed it out very well yesterday, he still wanted to see if Gu Ning could still remember it completely after a day.
However, Gu Ning really remembered it completely, even though he hadn't practiced it in the meantime.
A photographic memory is a photographic memory. If it is so easy to forget, can it still be called a photographic memory? Of course not.
Of course, Gu Ning only memorized the moves and performed them. Moreover, there were some techniques that Gu Ning had not yet understood. That is, what kind of speed and strength were required for each move, which also had its own particularities.
Because not all moves require brute force, some moves require flexibility and lightness.
So, next Shangguan Yang taught Gu Ning what kind of speed and strength should be used in what kind of moves.
After Shangguan Yang mentioned it once, Gu Ning remembered it, and Shangguan Yang nodded in satisfaction and praised: "Not bad, not bad..."
However, remembering is one thing, and using it properly is another, so Gu Ning still needs to practice it over and over again.
After practicing a few times, Gu Ning stopped and looked at Shangguan Yang, who was leaning on the rocking chair, crossing his legs and eating melon seeds, and said, "Grandpa Shangguan, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? Ask!" Shangguan Yang said.
"Can mortals practice cultivation?" Gu Ning asked, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yang paused and looked at her with narrowed eyes: "Why are you asking this? Are you trying to cultivate yourself?"
Although Shangguan Yang knew it clearly in his heart, he still pretended not to know and asked.
"Yes, I want to practice cultivation because Shao Ting is a cultivator. Once his cultivation level improves, he will be able to prolong his life. As a mortal, I only have a lifespan of a few decades. In this way, we can't be together. I want to be with Shao Ting, so I also want to become a cultivator." Gu Ning said.
"Do you want to become a cultivator for him?" Shangguan Yang asked.
"That's right," Gu Ning replied, looking very determined.
Shangguan Yang was silent for a while before he said, "Actually! That brat also asked me this question."
"What? Shao Ting also asked you this question?" Hearing this, Gu Ning was a little surprised. She didn't expect Leng Shao Ting to have asked it, but Leng Shao Ting hadn't told her! Thinking of this, Gu Ning knew that the result was not good, otherwise, why didn't Leng Shao Ting tell her! "That's right," Shangguan Yang said, then hesitated for a moment, and told Gu Ning what he had said to Leng Shaoting before: "Of course it is possible for mortals to practice Taoism, but it is very dangerous, it is simply a matter of life and death, and requires extremely strong willpower. If you can hold on, you will succeed, and if you fail, you will die, so mortals generally don't practice Taoism easily. Because almost everyone in the world of Taoism has spiritual roots, people with spiritual roots will have an easier time practicing, and mortals don't have spiritual roots, so they need to undergo marrow washing and bone cutting to remove impurities in the body and dredge the meridians. This is a process of hell on earth. Of course, if a person with spiritual roots has mediocre qualifications, he also needs to undergo marrow washing and bone cutting, but with spiritual roots, the risk factor is less and the chance of success is greater, but there are too many failures. And no one else can help you with this matter, you can only rely on yourself."
When Gu Ning heard this, he knew the reason why Leng Shaoting didn't tell him that he had asked Shangguan Yang about this matter. He was afraid that she couldn't hold on, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Not to mention Leng Shaoting, even Gu Ning felt a little hesitant after hearing this.
She is no longer the same person she used to be. In the past, she had no ties, so she had no fear of disappointment, but now, she has too many concerns.
