Chapter 68: Cultivating the Mind

Shan Lingxing hurriedly began to learn the somersault cloud, while Hua Changxi quickly took out paper and pen from the Shennong Ding and began to copy "Nine Revolutions Profound Art", "Law of Heaven and Earth", and "Somersault Cloud".

The Nine Revolutions Profound Art is a body-refining technique that can cultivate the physical body to the level of a god.

"Laws of Heaven and Earth" is a magical power with a very high threshold for cultivation. It requires cultivators to practice both physical and magical skills in order to perform it.

"Somersault Cloud", a magic spell of riding on clouds and mist, is the easiest to learn.

After transcribing, Hua Changxi put the paper and pen back into the Shennong Ding, then walked to the entrance of the cave and looked outside. She was not very happy when she didn't see the Taoist priest in white robes.

The mountain spirit said that the old Taoist had been searching for it in the Five Fingers Mountain for several months. This shows that the old Taoist was determined to get the mountain spirit.

There was the aura of the Monkey King in the cave, so the old Taoist didn't dare to step in easily.

If we can’t go into the cave and catch them, we can only wait for them to get out.

If she were an experienced Taoist, she would find a place to hide outside the cave, wait for them to come out on their own initiative, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Hua Changxi recalled the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the old Taoist when he was chasing her and the mountain spirit. It was very strong. The old Taoist's realm was definitely one major realm higher than hers.

If she faced the Taoist master head-on, she would definitely not be his match.

Hua Changxi turned around and went back into the cave, and began to learn the Somersault Cloud with the mountain spirit.

One somersault, a distance of 180,000 miles.
If the speed is really that fast, then they won't have to worry about not being able to get rid of the old Taoist.

"Fairy, your movements are wrong. You should dance like this."

Shan Ling's body was flexible, so it was quite easy for him to learn the somersault cloud.

The mountain spirit turned over, and clouds condensed under his feet. Then he stepped on the clouds and began to fly around in the cave.

Hua Changxi was so envious that he practiced over and over again according to the steps of the pattern carved on the cave wall and with the guidance of the mountain spirit.

Half a day passed, and when Hua Changxi jumped into the air, clouds quickly condensed under his feet.

Stepping on the soft clouds and floating in the air, Hua Changxi felt that this feeling was very novel, completely different from the feeling she had experienced when practicing light skills before.

When a warrior practices Qinggong, no matter how powerful he is, he needs to have a point of force.

Without a fulcrum, no matter how strong her internal strength is, it would be impossible for her to float in the air like she is now.

Just like jumping off a cliff, a warrior has to rely on the power of the cliff to get down, but after learning the somersault cloud, she can step on the clouds and float down comfortably.

"Ah~"

Hua Changxi was just happy that he had learned a new practical spell when he suddenly felt unsteady on his feet.

The originally thick clouds gradually became lighter and lighter. They could no longer support the clouds. Hua Changxi, who was standing on them, fell directly from the clouds and hit the ground with a bang.

When Shan Ling saw this, he immediately held his stomach and laughed out loud.

Hua Changxi glared at him and looked outside the cave. Seeing that it was getting dark, he took out a few fire spirit stones and lit a circle of fire. When the cave was illuminated, he took out some dry food and spiritual fruits from the Shennong Ding.

Seeing the food, the mountain spirit immediately came to Hua Changxi.

"Do you still need to eat?"

"You can eat it or not, but absorbing spiritual energy is too tasteless. I still prefer to eat the spiritual fruits and plants in the mountains. They are sour, sweet, astringent and bitter, and very delicious."

“You still know the taste?”

"Of course I know. I also need to practice. The tradition I inherited tells me that practice cannot just be about absorbing spiritual energy. One must experience the various aspects of the world and watch the seas and fields change and the clouds roll and unfold. Otherwise, one's practice will stagnate."

Hua Changxi looked at the mountain spirit who was enjoying eating the spiritual fruit, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After she advanced to the Jindan stage, she could no longer continue to improve her cultivation by simply absorbing spiritual energy. This situation was very similar to what Shan Ling had just said.

"Do you eat monsters?" "No, I haven't. I've seen monsters killed in battles. They were bloody and I don't like them. But I've seen those monks outside roast monsters after killing them. They smelled delicious and looked delicious."

"Fairy, do you want to eat roasted monsters? If you do, wait until we get rid of the old Taoist priest with mixed hair, then you can go hunt a monster and roast it, and I'll help you eat a little bit, how about that?"

"Not very good, go ahead and kill the monster and roast it, maybe I'll do you the favor and eat some."

“But I don’t know how to do that.”

"If you don't know how to eat it, don't eat it."

"But I want to eat it. Doesn't the fairy want to eat it?"

"Hold on even if you want to eat."

"Eat if you want to, and satisfy yourself, fairy. You are so mean to yourself."

Hua Changxi silently looked at the fat kid in front of him who was encouraging him to kill the monster: "You are quite good at provoking people."

Shan Ling blinked his innocent big eyes: "I am telling the truth. Cultivation is to cultivate the mind. You suppress your mind everywhere, so how can you cultivate your mind?"

Hua Changxi was frightened by these words. He looked at the little fat kid in front of him in surprise and asked, "Did your inheritance tell you all this?"

Shan Ling nodded: "Yes."

Hua Changxi stuffed a bunch of spiritual fruits into Shan Ling's mouth and let him eat them. She also seemed to be thinking about something while eating.

Cultivation is to cultivate the mind. You cannot suppress your own mind, otherwise you cannot cultivate your mind. Does that mean you should do everything according to your heart?

After eating, the mountain spirit began to yawn: "Fairy, I'm sleepy."

Hua Changxi took out a blanket and spread it on the ground: "You sleep on it."

Shan Ling walked over curiously and lay down. In the past, he would just sleep anywhere in the mountains. This was the first time he slept like this.

Hua Changxi took a smaller blanket and covered his belly: "Go to sleep."

"Fairy, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"I'll practice the Somersault Cloud for a while. We can't stay in the cave forever. If we learn the Somersault Cloud, the old Taoist won't be able to catch up with us."

The cave soon became quiet. The mountain spirit fell asleep, while Hua Changxi practiced the Somersault Cloud over and over again.

At the beginning, the clouds condensed by Hua Changxi were not solid enough and could not last for too long.

After figuring out this problem, they encountered troubles in controlling cloud flight.

"Bang bang bang~"

Because of improper control, Hua Changxi would occasionally crash into the stone wall while flying on the clouds, making her grimace in pain.

Just as Hua Changxi was stumbling on the clouds practicing flying, a night passed.

The sunlight shone in through the entrance of the cave. Shan Ling woke up rubbing her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked around the cave, but did not see Hua Changxi. She thought she had abandoned her and ran away. Her eyes suddenly turned red, her mouth turned up, and she started crying.

"Fairy."

There is a small opening in the middle of the top of the cave, but it is covered by something.

When Hua Changxi was looking at what was covering the cave entrance, he heard the mountain spirit crying from below: "Fatty, you're awake, I'm up there."

Hearing Hua Changxi's voice, Shan Ling looked up hurriedly, with tears still in his eyes. Seeing that Hua Changxi had not left, but was floating on the clouds at the top of the cave, he quickly wiped his tears and flew up on the cloud.

Seeing the mountain spirit coming up, Hua Changxi immediately pointed at the cave entrance and said, "Fatty, does that thing blocking the cave entrance look like a hand?"

Without hearing Shan Ling's answer, Hua Changxi couldn't help but look at him, and then saw Shan Ling trembling: "What's wrong with you?"

The mountain spirit pulled Hua Changxi down quickly. After landing, he said in a trembling voice: "That is the Buddha's hand! It is the Buddha's hand that suppresses the Monkey King, so that the Monkey King will never escape from this stone cave."
