Taxue, who had not been seen for a day, finally came back, and Li Yiruo hugged her in her arms while crying.
Taxue didn't understand why, but he could feel her sadness. He made a purring sound, licked her tears and comforted her.
Li Yirou cried silently for a while, pulled herself away from the fear, and comforted herself.
Wang Xiuling was her colleague and superior. She was assigned the good job because she was incompetent and could not keep it. It was already good enough that the other party did not blame her for losing the reward.
Besides, Zhao Jinfan had no fear or respect for Wang Xiuling herself, so what could Aunt Xiuling do?
This time she was careless. If there is such a good opportunity again, she can find a deserted place to put the things into the space first, leaving less for him to snatch away, so as to prevent him from returning empty-handed and setting his sights on her.
Now she is so strong that she can walk at will with a hundred or eighty kilograms of flesh on her back, but facing Zhao Jinfan, she is unable to fight back.
When the opponent's fist hit her, she could clearly see the trajectory, but for a moment she felt like she was nailed to the spot. When she reacted, she wanted to dodge but couldn't.
Li Yiru thought that perhaps the ability to cope with the situation could only be acquired after practicing. The most urgent thing now was to successfully draw the Qi into the body and become a true cultivator.
After analyzing the situation, Li Yirou regained her usual gentleness and kindness and took the initiative to apologize to Wang Xiuling. Perhaps if she knew, she could even get her lost property back.
Taxue seemed worried about her and followed her out of the house.
"Aunt Xiuling, it's my fault just now. Someone stole Elder Feng's reward on the way, and I lost six low-level spiritual herbs. I'm just unhappy for a moment, so please don't take it personally."
Wang Xiuling couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Li Yiru carefully. This child's character is really extraordinary.
Except that he does not practice as fast as others, there is nothing wrong with him. At such a young age, he can be so insightful, humble, and sensible.
This made her think of her past self, who was also focused on other things, which ultimately left her with many regrets.
"Xiao Rou is great. It's fine as long as she's alright." Wang Xiuling praised. "Do you know why I always urge you to practice?"
"Do you want me to avoid being bullied by others?" Li Yiru realized this time that menial disciples were not taken seriously by the cultivators at all, and the contempt of the Deacons' Hall was nothing compared to that.
"I'm lucky I didn't lose my life while snatching things." Wang Xiuling's eyes were filled with pain. "Xiao Rou, no one is willing to make decisions for a menial disciple like you. Fortunately, no one in the sect would harm you."
Li Yiru originally didn't want to swallow this anger, and thought that Aunt Xiuling might be able to find a way, but in the end she still asked her to accept it.
"Maybe one day, we will provoke more powerful monks and annihilate small sects like ours. In the eyes of high-level monks, we are like ants. I'm afraid we won't even have time to escape and will be crushed by them." Wang Xiuling continued.
"Or perhaps a beast tide breaks out and wipes out every last one of the sect."
"The environment here is good, but you may not be able to survive safely. It all depends on your cultivation. Only if you are strong can you survive."
"To become strong, you must be fearless of life and death and fight bravely."
"But I think it's worth it. At least I won't regret it. This way you can do what you want. No one can always help you or protect you. Do you understand?"
Li Yiru was moved by her story and remained silent for a long time. She didn't know that there were so many dangers in the world of cultivation. No wonder Minjing asked her if she had made up her mind to come.
"I understand, Aunt Xiuling." She nodded heavily. It was lost, so what? She didn't dwell on it anymore.
"It's just..." Li Yirou still expressed her difficulties, "I can't absorb any of that spiritual energy. The more I chase them, the faster they hide."
Wang Xiuling also tried to recall the feeling she had when she first drew the Qi into her body, but she could no longer find the memory. "I can't remember what my state was like at that time."
She was lost in her memories. Li Yirou only saw a hint of sadness in her eyes. After a long moment, she seemed to think of something and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips before speaking, "Cultivation requires you to embrace and guide the spiritual energy, rather than blindly suppressing and controlling it, which can be counterproductive."
Li Yirou just kept repeating "tolerance, tolerance", as if she was about to grasp something, but it slipped away again.
She lost her usual thoroughness and didn't even say hello to Wang Xiuling. The only two words in her mind were "tolerance."
After returning to the house, he no longer cared about stepping on the snow. He sat directly on the mat, closed his eyes, and began to sense the spiritual energy.
The five-colored light spots were still floating around and swaying constantly. Li Yiru once again guided them and kept approaching her.
A small green light suddenly changed direction when it was about to penetrate her body.
This time, Li Yirou was not discouraged or impatient. She patiently pulled it and waited for it to approach her little by little.
When it touched her skin, he didn't feel anxious to press it into her body.
Just touching it a little bit, until the little green dot slid against her skin and then naturally merged into her body.
After entering the body, the next step is to introduce the spiritual energy into the Dantian to be truly successful.
However, that bit of spiritual energy did not cooperate and kept moving up and down in the meridians. Li Yiru had no choice but to continue to guide it patiently, letting it slowly move along the meridians towards the dantian.
When it finally stopped running around and merged into the dantian, Li Yiru felt refreshed. The first step of drawing the qi into the body was finally completed!
This bit of spiritual energy was hard-earned, and Li Yiru continued to practice, hoping to refine it and make it truly belong to her.
She controlled this little bit of spiritual energy, and it traveled from her dantian to the twelve meridians throughout her body, and then returned to her dantian again. Only then was a big cycle truly completed.
Li Yiru discovered that the originally green light spot became very small after she refined it, as if it had been filtered and purified, filtering out impurities and leaving only the purest spiritual energy.
Green represents wood, and it was also the color that showed the strongest intensity when measuring her spiritual roots, indicating that wood aura had a high affinity with her.
At the same time, this spiritual energy finally became a part of her body. Not only did its color turn slightly white, but it was also easy to control.
This success inspired Li Yiru, so she tried again and guided the spiritual energy into her body again.
But this time she was met with repeated failures, and she could only control the spiritual energy in her dantian and start the cycle again.
Not long after, the spiritual light spot disappeared in the meridians, and a new green light spot was once again introduced into her dantian.
Li Yiru guessed that perhaps her current level of cultivation could only absorb so much spiritual energy.
Recalling what was said in the book, I learned that I should first store up the spiritual energy that my Dantian can accommodate, and at the same time continuously circulate it and widen the meridians, so as to accommodate the spiritual energy to the maximum extent.
Because Li Yiru has five spiritual roots, she needs to successfully introduce all five kinds of spiritual energy into her body, and then continuously compress the spiritual energy until her dantian is full, and then enter the next level of cultivation.
This is the difficulty of the five spiritual roots. If it is a single spiritual root, you only need to comprehend one kind of spiritual energy. At this moment, you are already widening the meridians and compressing the spiritual energy, challenging to enter the first level of Qi Refining.
Li Yiru recalled for a moment. When testing her spiritual roots, only her wood spiritual root was prominent. The other spiritual roots were dim and difficult to comprehend.
