The Sutra of Nothingness

"Phew! Time flies like this so fast. In a blink of an eye, it's time for me to practice again! I hope I can succeed today!" I looked at the increasingly dim sky, wiped off the sweat on my forehead, and stepped into my dark sky again. In a room!

I followed every step carefully according to the method in the exercise, and I was careful in every move I made. I tried my best to calm down my mood and not to have distracting thoughts! But even so, it was a night of inaction! Depression and confusion filled my mind. Even though I carefully followed every step of the exercise, I really didn’t feel any Qi at all. I really don’t know how Brother Hua managed to introduce Qi into my body overnight! Forget it, since you can’t figure it out, let’s put it aside for a while. There will always be a time when it suddenly dawns on you. What I need to do now is to take care of Brother Hua’s cave territory so that she can practice without any worries!

In this way, I took care of everything in the cave during the day, and concentrated on looking for Qi at night. Three months passed in a flash!

"Xiaoer, haven't you succeeded in refining your qi yet?" One morning, Brother Hua came to the side hall where I was practicing and asked worriedly!

"Oh, Brother Hua! I also want to succeed, but the more anxious I am, the more I can't find the sense of energy. I almost succeeded a few times, but for some reason it suddenly disappeared again!" I stepped off the futon and answered Hua with a frown. Brother, after saying that, I couldn’t help but sigh again!

Brother Hua has spent a lot of effort in the past three months to help me successfully refine my Qi! I brought three Qi Refining Pills to me, but they were wasted by me. After I took them, they were almost complete!

"Oh, maybe I'm just not suitable for cultivation! Even though I have spiritual roots, it's the same as not having any!"

"Xiaoer, don't say that. Since you have spiritual roots, it proves that you have the potential to practice, but you haven't found the right method yet! Just like my master said, if you walk in the wrong way, even if you have the right way to practice, you will be able to cultivate. It's hard to move even an inch!" Hearing that I was a little decadent, Brother Hua couldn't bear to persuade me. I also knew that she had put a lot of thought into letting me practice with peace of mind in the past few months. After all, Yuxing Pavilion also has a mission! In the past three months, I have still not entered the Qi refining stage, so she can only complete the tasks of the two of me!

"By the way, Brother Hua, why did you come here this time? It will take some time to harvest the elixir! You won't drink the Qi Refining Pill again, right? I said no, let me figure it out on my own. , don’t waste those contribution points!”

"No, waiter! I really can't help you with the mission this time. I have fooled you a few times before. This time the mission hall made it clear that you must be present! After all, I haven't shown up for three months. There are indeed some..."

"It's okay, it's just a mission, I'll just go. In the past three months, thanks to Brother Hua's help, I can practice with peace of mind!" Seeing Brother Hua's embarrassed hesitation, I quickly started a conversation to express myself. attitude, and besides, I feel a little embarrassed that Brother Hua has been helping me complete the task!

"It's just that this time I accepted a mission to go down the mountain. Recently, a fourth-level spirit beast walked out of the mountain range in the Beast Spirit Mountains and attacked the passing merchant team, causing heavy losses to the team that came to worship. So the sect issued this mission to let people go and carry it out. I took over the solution, but this time I couldn’t get away with it!”

"Hahaha, what do I think? With Brother Hua's current level of Qi refining, are you still afraid that you can't repair that beast? And don't forget that my family is an Orion. I still have the ability to protect myself. ! Brother Hua, let’s go together this time. I’m almost suffocated from staying on this little futon. This time I just want to go out and relax! Maybe I can successfully introduce Qi into my body!” After listening After Brother Hua explained it, I understood her difficulty and expressed relief! Alas, sometimes I have to admire the superior spiritual roots. Three months ago, I was still struggling with the matter of refining Qi into the body. Brother Hua has already reached the fifth level of Qi training. If it weren't for the fear of affecting the foundation, I would have already reached the seventh level of cultivation. for! It's only one step away from catching up with the senior brother who ranks 100th on the Yuxing Pavilion's combat power list!

After hearing my words of relief, Brother Hua was still a little worried, but after I hurriedly packed up and continued to urge me, we set off!

The Beast Spirit Mountain Range is a mountain range that contains spirit beast elixirs. It is the largest mineral deposit in Shouyang City! There are also several small cultivating families affiliated with the Star Reaching Pavilion around us. On weekdays, they need to worship our Star Reaching Pavilion and inevitably have to pass through that mountain range. The reason why it has not become an affiliated mountain range of my Star Reaching Pavilion is because the mountain range is deep. There lives a great demon comparable to the Golden Core Realm, so we in Shouyang City can welcome the Butian Pavilion and build the Star Reaching Pavilion here to protect our safety! The reason why we didn’t directly send people to level this mountain range is because this is also a place where spirits can be cultivated and nourished. It should be cultivated for a long time, and a jealous elixir might grow out at some point!

It took us nearly half a month to get to the Beast Spirit Mountain Range this time. Although I didn't forget to practice along the way, I was always a little behind!

When we arrived at the scene of the incident in the Beast Spirit Mountain Range, the team that came to offer sacrifices were still here and did not dare to go back. After all, of these small families, only the patriarch could reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the better ones could only build the foundation! Which of those high-level people has time to do this? At most, a guard with two or three levels of cultivation would be sent to escort him, but who would have thought that this happened in the past two days!

After Sister Hua went to understand the specific matters, she just went on her way and told me to wait here for her return! In fact, she didn't tell me that I had no choice but to do this. After all, I'm just a mortal with no cultivation, and I might as well be someone sent by a noble family to escort the worshippers!

While comforting the people of these small families, I looked into the mountain forest. After all, it was just a fourth-level spiritual beast. Although Brother Hua dared not say that he could capture it alive, he was capable of killing it! Now we just have to wait here for another two or three days before there is any news, but unexpectedly something happens the next day!

"Ouch!" A roar came from the mountain forest, and then, a colorful beast rushed out of the forest. This might be the spiritual beast they said was attacking the team!

This is a patterned tiger, which can be said to be a relatively common spiritual beast on the edge of mountains, but it comes out of the mountains for some unknown reason. Generally speaking, these spiritual beasts will not leave their territory. After all, there is no food in the mountains, so they have to come out to look for food? Something must have happened to cause it to have to come out!

However, Brother Hua has already gone in but did not encounter it. He even let it run out and continue to wreak havoc here. Something must have happened inside! I couldn't help but start to worry, and I'm obviously not that optimistic here! The person escorting the team has already stepped forward to fight fiercely with the patterned tiger, but he is not strong enough, and he has been beaten and can only parry! And the remaining mortals are also holding me in front, constantly begging the immortals for help! Only that leader knew that I was just a mortal who was stronger than these people and had no ability to save them!

"Run!" After all, the leader couldn't resist and was slapped back with a palm, and the others were also scared and fled on the spot! I was the only one who ran up the mountain when the patterned tiger wasn't paying attention! Now I have no choice but to find Brother Hua quickly. Without her, I would have died!

I don’t know how far I ran, but I was so tired that I collapsed on a boulder next to a stream of water! The deafening screams just now are no longer behind me. I know that they are probably all gone. I am very glad that although I am still young, I like to go hunting with my father in the mountains and have some hunter's intuition. Otherwise, this time it will be inevitable. It's a dead body! And my current situation is not optimistic. I don’t know when I will encounter spirit beasts in the Beast Spirit Mountain Range. As a person without cultivation, I will be the spirit beasts’ snacks and fish on the chopping board! Just take a rest and you have to find Brother Hua as soon as possible, otherwise the result will still be the same!

I took a long breath, grabbed a handful of water, drank it, and then started to look around! Located in the mountains and forests, there are dense flowers, plants and trees everywhere. Only the river within ten meters is flat and spacious!

"Ouch!" When I was carefully observing the surrounding environment, a familiar roar sounded again. The patterned tiger seemed to be saying it's your turn! I had forgotten that this damn beast had a keen sense of smell. well! I have been so comfortable for so long that I have forgotten my own instincts! In this way, my only choice is to hide under the water. One is to eliminate my own heat and isolate its night vision eyes. The other is to eliminate the smell and isolate its sense of smell!

Under the pressure of it getting closer and closer, I jumped directly into the water, lay on my back, leaving only the breathing area of ​​my mouth and nose on the water, and just let the current carry me drifting! The sound of the patterned tiger getting closer and closer scared me so much that I didn't dare to make any move. My mind went blank, just hoping to escape this disaster! I couldn't help but start praying to God for blessing!

After a while, the patterned tiger left, but I didn't dare to go ashore at all, for fear that I would be discovered by it once ashore! After this battle, I deeply hated my own cowardice and insignificance, so I started practicing directly in the water up to my neck! With tense nerves and determination to become stronger, this thing filled my heart! The more I practiced, the more energetic I became, and I felt a strange yet familiar feeling in my heart. Then I felt lighter and lighter in this water with heavy resistance, until finally I seemed to have merged into the water! Only then did I understand the Li Shui Jing, Li Shui Jing, this weird air-drawing movement turned out to be the guidance and integration of spiritual energy like water flow, until it finally merged into one!

At this moment, I suddenly understood! As a ray of spiritual energy slowly integrated into my body, I sat cross-legged on the spot as if I was hanging in mid-air! According to the records in the Li Shui Jing, guide the spiritual energy in the body to circulate in the meridians for a small week and then slowly merge into the Dantian! One night passed, the spiritual energy cultivated by Li Shui Jing had cleansed my meridians. At this moment, I have entered the first level of Qi training. From now on, I can also be called a cultivator!

"Hahaha, it has to be me. Isn't it easy to enter the first level of Qi Refining?" I laughed happily!
