Chapter 18 Consideration
Chapter 18 Consideration
Li Wuxiang exhaled slowly and felt that the surroundings had become completely quiet.
He emptied his mind for a while, and then listened to Xue Baoping's breathing. As he thought before, this girl was really sick. After experiencing what happened tonight, no one could sleep as peacefully as she did, but Li Wuxiang felt that he could understand her.
This understanding comes from his memory... He can't remember who he is, but he can remember some experiences in another world. He has seen many people who are extremely sad, angry and fearful, and he himself is even a senior member of them. When he leaves them, he will listen, comfort them, and make sure they have no regrets, or at least not too regretful. Therefore, he learned how to see a person's heart.
So he knew that a girl like Xue Baoping, who had lived in a depressing and embarrassing situation for a long time, felt only implicit hostility. Looking into her future, neither her personal efforts nor the environment around her could bring her any hope. So as long as there was a little bit of kindness and change in her world, she would put all her trust in it and would not consider what consequences such trust might bring.
In her opinion, she has absolutely nothing to lose.
And now I need to consider a lot of things.
First of all, this world seemed slightly different from what he had imagined. When he was trapped by Zhao Kui, he was exposed to concepts such as "external evil", "end of the world", "cultivation", and "alchemy". He saw a paper man controlled by magic, a mysterious net in his body, and a soul that wanted to take over another body. It only took him a month to enter the threshold of cultivation. So he felt that immortals and monsters might be everywhere in this world, and if he was not careful, he might see flying swords like rainbows and meteorites like rain.
But now, according to Xue Baoping, the Qi Refiners did not seem to display too many powerful methods in front of people. Even the disaster that killed most of the residents of this town was mostly just two groups of people fighting with ordinary swords... This seems to mean that the transcendental power in this world does not seem to be something common.
But this also means that my situation has become a little more dangerous.
He once thought that Zhao Kui, the Qi-refining master who was "about to form a pill", was just a second-rate cultivator. But now, judging from the various miraculous methods he displayed... Zhao Kui might be a big shot.
Big shots must have inextricable connections with other people, and it is more likely that they have many subordinates who obey their orders. Another piece of news obtained from Xue Baoping is that there have been no cultivators in Jinshui Town for a long time, but just a few days ago, a Qi Refiner named Zhao Qi came to the town.
"A few days ago", "surname Zhao"... Li Wuxiang found it hard to convince himself that this was a coincidence.
The wiser thing to do would be to leave here immediately, but this involves the second trouble - his current situation.
In his previous life, he had heard about some Taoist health preservation and cultivation, but he couldn't tell whether they were true or not. But he knew there was a saying that it was quite dangerous to cultivate by yourself, and you had to have a teacher to teach you. When he was trapped, it should be Zhao Kui who secretly guided him, and those "Marching Pills" might be the medicinal materials to assist in cultivation, so he had smooth sailing. Now he can only rely on his instincts, and then he found that instincts were not very reliable.
He first instinctively sucked all of Wang Wen's energy, blood and flesh, and then stretched himself into a floating human skin. Just now, in order to solve the trouble as quickly as possible, he also sucked all of Wang Wu and Wang Peng's energy. Now he has a human form and has become a little stronger, but the problem is that he seems to be "too stretched".
When he was in the stove, he had already cultivated to the realm of "generating the true seed" and felt that the breath in his body was smooth and pure, but now he felt that his body had become congested and blocked again, as if overgrown with weeds. He tried breathing several times, but felt that his qi and meridians became the same as when he first practiced, as if he had to start all over again.
Perhaps, in addition to the essence and blood, there are more things in the bodies of the three mortals that should have been discarded during the practice, but he swallowed them all; perhaps the Taoist book "Guang Chanzi" cannot be practiced without Zhao Kui's secret guidance and auxiliary medicines, or perhaps it is because the spiritual energy in Jinshui Town is thin. But no matter which one, Li Wuxiang decided not to change his current state easily. He felt that he had to imagine himself as a patient with high blood lipids or high uric acid, and everything had to be done cautiously and in moderation until he figured out what he is now and what to do.
So he had to stay here. First, he had to confirm whether Zhao Qi was really a disciple of Zhao Kui. If so, he had to find a way to get more information from him. Even if not, he could still get a lot of common sense about cultivation, especially about "external evil". He was in the dark, and the Qi cultivators in this world were not the kind of people who could move mountains and seas. This was worth taking a risk, and it would even be quite interesting.
But the girl's mental illness made her temperament a little bit evil, and Li Wuxiang could clearly feel the fire suppressed in her heart. He didn't want to turn her into a playful, happy, and carefree girl, but he knew where to direct this fire so that she wouldn't burn herself. After all, in his intermittent memories, his past life seemed to be not much different from her.
And Zhao Xi... before he fell into the sea of fire, was it her ghost that he heard sighing? Did she push him? If so... Zhao Kui was already dead, so I wonder if that counts as revenge for her.
After thinking about it for a while, he began to try to enter a state of concentration to relax himself. But he found it difficult to do this now, so he tried another method from his previous life - no matter how much pain and trouble he had, or what kind of dangerous situation he was in, he could just let his mind run wild and naturally think of the most relaxing and comfortable thing, grab it, and then he could calm down.
He breathed and felt the tentacles in his body swaying softly, gradually settling into the same rhythm.
Then he listened to the little girl's long, gentle breathing, felt the air flow in the house, the slightly damp rammed earth ground, the crickets chirping timidly again, the gurgling water of the Jinshui River outside the yard, and the raindrops dripping from the eaves. His body slowly deflated and turned into a soft human skin, hanging on the beams.
It is now ranked seventh on the Xianxia new book list and thirty-eighth on the overall new book list. I continue to ask for recommendations and monthly votes!
The second update will be at 8am!
