Chapter 48 I Want to Become an Immortal
Chapter 48 I Want to Become an Immortal (Seventeen)
Inside the Chongdao Temple.
The candlelight is as small as a bean and the air is filled with incense.
Liu Sheng slowly regained consciousness from meditation, feeling that he had reached a bottleneck in his recent practice and that it was meaningless to continue practicing.
But I still feel a little sad.
During these days, Liu Sheng and She Chan practiced every day until the statue woke up before returning to their rooms to rest. They were very diligent.
However, after working so hard, although Liu Sheng could feel his body becoming lighter and his meridians becoming more unobstructed, he still could not truly draw Qi into his body.
Maybe "Yao Sujin"'s foundation is really too poor.
However, She Chan's bones are of top quality, and now he is just one step away from success.
At this moment, She Chan's spiritual energy suddenly surged, as if a vortex of spiritual energy had opened up, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged in and was absorbed into her body.
Liu Sheng saw that her eyes were closed, her brows were slightly furrowed, her whole body was trembling slightly, and her clothes were wet with sweat. She seemed to be enduring some pain.
But soon, She Chan's expression gradually changed from nervous to calm, and the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead slowly disappeared.
The air around She Chan's body trembled slightly, as if a tiny electric current was passing through, and an invisible force burst out from her body.
Although there was no wind, the dust around her was gently lifted up, and the smoke was also rolled up, slowly floating around her.
At that moment, Liu Sheng saw a tiny light seemed to light up between She Chan's eyebrows, and then quickly disappeared into it.
She Chan's whole temperament was instantly refreshed, as if there was some subtle gap between her and the world around her, and she seemed to be detached from the world.
She Chan slowly opened her eyes, the light in her eyes was clearer and deeper than before, and her spirit was flashing.
Finally the dust settled and everything returned to peace.
Liu Sheng knew that She Chan had successfully broken through to the Qi Refining Stage and was finally qualified to embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
The disciples sitting on the cushions around had stopped practicing when She Chan made such a loud noise. They all knew that she was about to make a breakthrough, and they all looked at She Chan with envy.
It is not easy to break through the Qi Refining Stage. At least Liu Sheng has been in the Chongdao Temple for so many days, and everyone has been practicing diligently, but it was not until today that a breakthrough was finally seen.
But I didn’t expect that person to be She Chan.
She Chan looked at Liu Sheng, her face filled with joy.
Liu Sheng smiled and was happy for her. He nodded and pointed outside the door, meaning that she should go first.
One has reached a bottleneck, and the other has already broken through. There is no need to wait until the last minute to leave today.
……
As soon as he reached the backyard, She Chan couldn't wait to start experimenting.
She picked up a stone on the ground and crushed it into powder effortlessly. Then she jumped lightly to a height of two stories and could see the bamboo forest outside the wall.
She Chan was filled with joy at the breakthrough and wanted to share it with Liu Sheng.
But then he thought again, he felt disappointed because he had made a breakthrough while Liu Sheng had not, so he suppressed his thoughts and turned to comfort Liu Sheng.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry." Liu Sheng waved his hand and said calmly, "It's good that you have a breakthrough now."
"Now that you have made a breakthrough, we will go to the library tomorrow."
Liu Sheng mentioned this plan that they had shelved for a long time.
They had discussed before that they must go to the library before the final exam.
For She Chan, what if there is information about the last level?
Isn’t there that legendary senior’s notebook?
Liu Sheng originally wanted to wait until both of them entered the Qi Refining Stage and their abilities were improved before going, but now it seems he has to go earlier.
Even Zhang Tinglin and You Yingcai were able to go. With She Chan, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, perhaps they just had to be more careful in dealing with him.
"Why don't we wait until you reach the Qi Refining stage..." She Chan also knew what Liu Sheng meant, and said with a gloomy face, "I can continue to practice with you."
Liu Sheng shook his head: "This place is so dangerous, don't delay."
"With my physique, it may be difficult to break through. If you want to wait, how long do you have to wait?"
For Liu Sheng, the moment she obtained the martial arts technique, she had already accomplished her main goal of coming to this world.
Now I just happened to be accompanying She Chan in cultivation, so I could also preview this strange cultivation method in advance so that I could get started quickly when I go back. Now I could also go to the library to absorb some knowledge and return to give it to the "world" to learn.
Once She Chan leaves, she can finally retire with honor.
She Chan looked at Liu Sheng with a complex light in her eyes. She knew Liu Sheng's character and once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
She could only whisper: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
……
The gates of Chongdao Temple, Library, Qingxu Hall and Qixuan Academy are in a straight line and are distributed on the central axis of Qixuan Academy.
Therefore, just down the hill from the Chongdao Temple is the library.
Although it is called a building, it is only two stories high and is completely shrouded by the long shadows of the ancient pine and cypress trees.
After all, Qixuan Academy is not a real immortal gate, it does not have so many books, and there is no need to have so many books.
A young man walked hurriedly through the pine and cypress forest and came to the library.
The ground in front of the door was covered with dead leaves, and it was desolate and empty. Only an old man was seen hunched over and sweeping the floor at the door.
The man's name was Qi Youlin, and he was a top student.
If he had not been left with no other options, he would not want to leave the spiritual vein of the Chongdao Temple and run to the library, a place that was rumored to be dangerous.
However, ever since he got the martial arts technique, although he practiced hard every day, he was unable to make a breakthrough.
In a hurry, I thought it would not be a good idea to work in isolation, so I might as well go to the library to see if there are any books on how to break through the bottleneck period.
Qi Youlin walked slowly towards the gate with a nervous mood.
The old man at the door did not look up, but just mechanically swept the fallen pine and cypress leaves.
The heavy door was half-open, and from inside there was flickering candlelight and the sounds of people walking and turning pages of books.
Qi Youlin was able to survive the strange disaster and was promoted to Shangshesheng. He still knew some taboos, so he did not go in directly. Instead, he took out the Seven Mysterious Order and walked up to the old man and said politely: "Senior, are you the manager of the library? I am Shangshesheng, and I want to come here to read books."
The old man still didn't raise his head: "Reading is good... follow me..."
The old man put down the broom in his hand, and Qi Youlin noticed that the broom handle was made of white bone material, and at the bottom was a round, shaggy hairy object...
Qi Youlin was so frightened that his face turned pale and he dared not look anymore.
The old man still kept his head down, slowly swinging his old legs, and led Qi Youlin towards a small room on the left side of the main entrance of the library.
The room was small and cramped, and as soon as you walked in you could smell the blood and the sour smell of grease.
Qi Youlin was surprised to see that there was a large table in the room, on which were a dozen candles of different lengths and thicknesses. The color of the candles was a dirty yellow, and seemed to have some blood in them.
The old man turned his back to Qi Youlin and took out a yellowed book and brush from the drawer under the table. He moistened the brush with his lips and dipped it in ink.
He asked Qi Youlin to take out the Qixuan Order, and rubbed the blank surface with his rough fingers. Then he hunched over the table and recorded Qi Youlin's name, age, identity and time of admission one by one. The handwriting was trembling, and the ink was black and red, as if mixed with some red pigment.
"I've registered... Remember, don't talk in the library... Don't borrow books... Don't snatch books..."
The old man put away the book and pointed at the candle on the table. The sound was like the hissing of an old bellows that had not been used for a long time.
"You can pick a candle..."
"If you want to read... you must choose a book and sit at the desk in the library before the candle burns out. You can only choose three books at most. After you finish reading, place the book on the table and it will... take it away."
"Just close your eyes and walk back ten steps to leave the library."
"You can only take one candle a day, and be careful not to extinguish it unless you are already sitting at the desk... So... please choose carefully..."
"Do you understand? If you don't behave... I will come to find you..."
Then, his neck creaked, and he finally raised his head and turned to face Qi Youlin.
Qi Youlin was shocked to see that it was a face that was sunken and the facial features had disappeared, leaving only a deep bloody hole. Although there were no eyes, he could feel a real gaze staring at him.
