Cultivation is not something you do behind closed doors. If you have someone to give you guidance, you can avoid many detours. Wei Shiqi got Qingming to mention a few words, and with confidence in his heart, he continued to absorb the essence of the moonlight with the demon pill, forcing it into the 365 acupoints all over his body to warm and temper his body.
Suddenly, a month passed, and Wei Shiqi felt that his physical body was stable. He immediately sucked the sword pill into his belly and began to practice his natal magical power according to the method taught by Ruan Jing.
The energy of the hardware escaped in strands, like a knife or a sword. It was stubborn and could not be driven out or dispelled. Wei Shiqi tried to gather it in one place, but it was like sand in his hand. He just couldn't hold it tightly, and it was gone. It has been lost, and I tried to refine it with elixir fire, but no loss was seen for a long time, and it was in vain.
There is no other way but to resist physically.
Wei Shiqi simply gave up his unrealistic thoughts and focused on understanding his natal magical power. There was no need to waste precious time on a problem that no one could solve for so many years. He only needed to confirm the function of Taiyin Sea Swallowing and repair the hardware in time. It is enough that the collapse caused by the Qi does not leave any hidden injuries.
A day is divided into two halves. During the day, you practice your natal magical powers, and at night, you absorb the essence of the moonlight. You live a stable and comfortable life. Wei Shiqi was neither impatient nor impatient, and followed the steps step by step. He made a little progress every day, and accumulated over time, which is very impressive.
At dusk that day, after finishing his work, Wei Shiqi was lying in the grass, with his hands behind his head, looking at the tall towers and white clouds on the horizon, untroubled and contented, when he suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on his face. On top of it, it was terrifying, as if everyone could see through it from the inside out.
His muscles tensed up, but he did not react violently. He slowly turned his head and saw a woman standing not far away, looking at him intently. Her clothes were swaying, she was graceful, and her eyebrows were somewhat familiar.
She opened her red lips, tapped her jade teeth, and said softly: "You are finally here."
Strange yet familiar, sweet yet tactful, that sentence and that voice were exactly the same as what he heard when he first went up Shifeng.
Ghost Gate Abyss, Tongtian Formation, Demon Suppression Tower, so many years have passed, time has passed like a fleeting moment, and the years have not left the slightest trace on her face. She is the same as before.
She is Ruan Jing's biological mother, Ruan Qing, the celestial fox under the Demon Suppressing Tower.
The demon pill was out of control, the blood crystal vibrated, and the demon energy soared into the sky, turning into the shadow of the snake, violent, cruel and unruly. An unprecedented coercion seized his body and mind. Wei Shiqi's heart was shaken and he couldn't help himself. He slowly got up, straightened his clothes, and opened his mouth to speak, but he was at a loss and couldn't make a sound.
Ruan Qing said slowly: "Back then, you advised me not to come, but I didn't listen. Now, you're here too..." Her eyes were confused, as if she was stuck in memories and couldn't extricate herself.
Wei Shiqi bit his tongue hard, and the severe pain made him wake up quickly. He smiled bitterly and said: "Master...Master's wife..."
"What did you call me?" Ruan Qing looked stunned, as if he had noticed something. He looked at him intently, let out a sigh, and murmured in great disappointment, "It's just a wisp of unconscious blood, no wonder..."
The shadow dissipated, and Wei Shiqi felt the pain on the tip of his tongue. He slowed down his speech and tried to speak clearly, "My surname is Wei, my name is Shiqi. Senior Sister Ruan Jingruan is taking over as a disciple on my father's behalf..."
Ruan Qing stretched out a finger to stop him from continuing and said warmly: "I haven't seen Ah Ruan for a long time. Tell me about her. Just talk about her."
Wei Shiqi paused for a moment, unable to think of any disobedience. He was like a man possessed, starting from the first time he met Ruan Jing in Xianyun Peak Qiupao Valley, until they parted ways in Chixia Valley. On the other hand, I only heard news, but no trace of the beauty.
Ruan Qing was silent for a long time and sighed: "It turns out that so many things happened, it's hard for her."
Although it was only their first meeting, Wei Shiqi quickly realized Ruan Qing's thoughts. She was an arrogant person. This arrogance was hidden in her blood and penetrated into her bones. She didn't even want to talk to strangers, she just wanted to know Things you care about.
Except for Ba She and Ruan Jing, she didn't want to say a word to Wei Shiqi, even if he was Yue Shuo's apprentice.
"You are finally here." The you here refer to Ba She, who is also a heavenly demon, not Wei Shiqi.
So after Wei Shiqi said the last sentence, he closed his mouth tightly, stood with his hands down, and said nothing. This small detail changed Ruan Qing's impression of him. Human beings who know their identity and know how to advance and retreat are rare. If everyone were like him, the world would be much more pleasing to the eye.
She was happy to condescend to say a few more words to him as a small compensation.
"Aruan accepted a disciple on behalf of his father. What did he teach you?"
"Two 'Sword Techniques' were passed down, one for refining the natal flying sword, and the other for cultivating the natal magical power."
Ruan Qingqing smiled and said: "What sword tactics? Kunlun doesn't have such sword tactics. It's the Tianhu Ksitigarbha Kung Fu."
One word to the point! Wei Shiqi had already guessed that what Ruan Jing taught him was the demon clan's technique, but he didn't expect that it would be so big that it would be related to Shouqiong Tianhu.
"How far have you practiced?"
Wei Shiqi took out the sword pill, held it up with both hands, and said: "I have made the sword pill, and I am practicing my natal magical power."
Ruan Qing stretched out her index finger and tapped it lightly. The sword pill flew up into the air and the Hidden Snow Sword popped out. She looked at it intently and said: "Hua Hong, Flying Blade, not satisfactory."
She was hinting to Wei Shiqi that there were two natal magical powers achieved by the Hidden Snow Sword, one was "Rainbow" and the other was "Flying Blade". In her opinion, the power of the magical powers was just "unsatisfactory".
In Tianhu's eyes, "unsatisfactory" was already a very high evaluation for him.
Ruan Qing just felt a hint of familiarity and came here to meet him. The long years have already worn away her curiosity and expectations. For her, whether it is Wei Shiqi or Tianhu Dizang Gong, they are all Insignificant side details, she had been here, seen it, and it was time to leave.
Wei Shiqi watched her drift away, deeply understanding the meaning of the heart as an ancient well. What happened to make her become so...transparent?
Yes, transparent, he couldn't think of another word that could describe Ruan Qing's current state. Qingming said that she was living a good life under the Demon Suppression Tower. Is this considered good?
As he thought about it, Wei Shiqi thought of himself. The emotions and states displayed by Ruan Qing seemed familiar and felt the same way. Many years ago, he lived alone in that city in the south, peacefully acting like a porcupine covered with thorns. Keep your distance from everyone, isn’t that right!
Without expectations, there will be no disappointment. Live simply, just live, let life go by, knowing that one day it will come to an end. By then, everything will have no meaning. King's domination, beauties singing and dancing, delicious food Delicious food, at the knees of children, is just a handful of ashes in the face of death.
Wei Shiqi was in the wilderness of illusion, a dream within a dream, and a strong desire was planted in his heart. He was alert and sweating.
