I am a shooter

Chapter 17: True Face Revealed

Diyin Mountain has a dangerous terrain, faults, waterfalls, thorny jungles, etc. It is very difficult for ordinary people to climb without cultivation. Even if Ning Shu had a foundation before, every trip back and forth required great physical strength and endurance.

After climbing back and forth five times, Ning Shu was so tired that she collapsed to the ground and rested on the rocks at the top of the mountain. Panting heavily and soaking wet, she recalled her initial career as an athlete.

The feeling of sweating profusely and trying her best made her sober up a lot; it turned out that after losing her cultivation, she was so weak.

It seems that the previous practice was too bland, and I didn't try my best at all. Moreover, I was addicted to this sudden power and completely forgot that I should strengthen myself. But thinking about it, I am still a child, and it is normal for this to happen.

At this moment, a sudden voice came:

"When you are resting, don't lie down and play dead. When you are squeezing out your body's potential, don't do it recklessly, otherwise you will easily suffer hidden injuries. You must know that 'the sun rises and sets, the moon waxes and wanes, the sky has a lonely void, and the earth has a southeastern void'. You must sense the critical points of your body and rest, regulate your breathing, and repair yourself at the appropriate time."

Ning Shu stood up and looked towards the source of the voice. The person who spoke was his master Liao Qingxuan. He then heard:

"Close your eyes and stand."

After hearing this, Ning Shu quickly propped himself up and stood up.

At this time Liao Qingxuan took out the jade flute and started playing it. The surrounding spiritual power quickly gathered, surrounded Ning Shu and lifted her up, standing in mid-air, constantly repairing her body.

As the spiritual energy nourished her, Ning Shu began to reflect that she had indeed acted a little too recklessly. She had been burdened with thoughts recently, thinking about the revenge of the Yin-Yang Cult and her father's evasion of the topic. These pressures merged into an invisible pressure, making her anxious, anxious to become stronger, anxious to take revenge, and anxious to finish everything.

A good teacher is one who can observe the psychological conditions of his or her students, just like Liao Qingxuan at this moment.

It turned out that through observation, she knew that her disciple had some obvious flaws in her state of mind, so she wanted to find an opportunity to correct Ning Shu.

As his body recovered and his state of mind changed, even though Ning Shu didn't know his master's intention, he knew that he had met a good teacher.

Ning Shu opened his eyes, saluted his master and said:

"Thank you for your help, Master. I am indeed a little stupid."

As he spoke, Ning Shu lowered his head in shame.

Seeing this, Liao Qingxuan touched her head and said softly:

"Do you know how many people can become monks?"

Unexpectedly, the master did not blame her, but asked back. Ning Shu thought about it and replied:

"Master, I don't know about this, but my father once said that there are cultivators in every place, so I guess there must be a lot of them."

Liao Qingxuan was speechless when she heard Ning Shu say this. She thought Xiaohan had never told Ning Shu about the common sense of cultivation, so she immediately said:

"The way of heaven is limited. Mortals take 40%, and the rest is 20% for plants, trees, rocks, demons and ghosts, 20% for monsters, and 20% for flowers, birds, insects and beasts. Cultivators are not ordinary people. They are variables that the way of heaven has not noticed. Therefore, only a very small number of people can become cultivators. If you can become a cultivator, it means that you have extraordinary luck. If you have super talent, you are a rare talent. If you can listen to advice without being arrogant, you are even rarer."

After saying this, Ning Shu was embarrassed by this sudden encouragement and didn't know how to start again. Seeing this, Liao Qingxuan spoke again:

"Then do you know what levels of cultivation are divided into?"

"It should be something like Inducing Qi, Gathering Qi, Controlling Qi, Transforming Spirit, Gathering Sea, Gathering Palace, Mountains and Rivers, and Great Emperor."

Ning Shu also repeated the information that Lao Zhang had told her before.

Liao Qingxuan nodded, agreeing:

"It seems that Xiaohan has told you something before. In fact, the first three are the Qi Refining Stage. After Qi Refining, Qi is transformed into spirit, which is the Spirit Transformation Stage. Gathering spirits into a sea is the Sea Gathering Stage. Based on the sea of ​​spirits, building a palace of spiritual power is the Palace Gathering Stage. After the spiritual palace is completed, mountains and rivers are created, which is the Mountain and River Stage. Constructing a new world and understanding the laws of the world will make you an emperor."

This was the first time that Ning Shu heard the basic knowledge of cultivation in a systematic way. It turned out that each realm was not a random name, but corresponded to the direction of progress of the cultivator.

Liao Qingxuan continued:

"You must know that all realms are built on top of each other, so if you build a strong foundation, you will definitely be several times, or even dozens of times stronger than others. And the foundation of all this is the quality of your body, so you need to polish your own physical quality."

Ning Shu immediately asked curiously after hearing this:

"Master, since it is the quality of the body, can we use medicine as a supplement to improve its quality?"

This was both the setting of the novel in the previous life and also the research direction of my father in this life. However, my father had only mentioned it a little to Ning Shu before.

After hearing this, Liao Qingxuan shook his head and said:

"Is this what your father told you? It seems that Xiaohan is still pursuing his ideal. The method your father talked about is good in theory, but it is actually very difficult. First, there is no pure medicine. You must know that all kinds of herbs in the world are composed of multiple properties. Almost all of them contain toxins, but the strength and quantity are different. Even if the medicine itself is not toxic, the combination is varied, and it is difficult for the human body to automatically purify and remove impurities. Therefore, there are records in ancient books that the ancestors who tried to use medicine to refine their bodies all died of poisoning."

After a pause, Liao Qingxuan did not seem to want to deny Lao Zhang's theory, and added:

"Perhaps your father can find a solution."

Ning Shu also nodded in agreement, but she was not afraid of toxins. She knew that she had a "toxic-soluble physique", so it seemed that she could try this method secretly.

Liao Qingxuan continued:

"We'll talk about medicine later. For now, you just need to know that you need to lay a good foundation during the Qi training stage, expand your Qi sea, improve your affinity for elements, tap into your body's potential, and improve your body quality. Strive to tap into your limits at every stage, and break through when you have enough."

Hearing this, Ning Shu simply asked the question that had been bothering him:

"Then Master, how do I know that I have accumulated enough at a certain stage?"

Hearing this question, Liao Qingxuan was also very happy. This disciple was able to grasp the key issue and seemed to have thought about it carefully. He replied:

"It is true that the body cannot be forced to reach its extreme state, but our ancestors left us a reference; therefore, it is recorded in many ancient books; referring to indicators such as strength and speed, one can also sense the heaven and earth."

Ning Shu repeated doubtfully:

"Heaven and earth sense?"

"Yes, this is the life sensor of every species. If it reaches its limit at each stage, it will sense it. But this requires special talent."

After a pause, he continued:

"It's too early for you now, just get some rest and continue."

After saying that, Liao Qingxuan turned around and left.

From today on, Diyin Mountain welcomed a "crawler". In the days to come, the disciples passing by the mountain would always see a strange person who did not need to practice, but learned to climb mountains and play the flute like ordinary people every day. This also brought more vitality to Diyin Mountain, which had been silent for many years.

Climbing the mountain many times not only stimulates your potential, but also allows you to find herbs along the way. There are actually many herbs in Diyin Mountain, but no one knows how to use them, so they are everywhere.

After climbing twenty times, the moon was already high in the sky. This cycle of continuous draining and restoring stimulated Ning Shu's physical potential time and time again, causing her mental strength to be severely depleted. She was not only physically exhausted, but also extremely tired mentally.

He took out herbs from the animal skin bag, prepared to boil a pot of soul-restoring soup for himself, and took a good bath to nourish his body.

After a pot of medicine was boiled, Ning Shu poured it directly into the wooden barrel. The sight of a barrel of water with complex colors and medicine residue made the whole barrel emit a strange smell, and the whole room was filled with a "hard to describe" smell.

Looking at his own work, Ning Shu also felt it was rough, but because he was really too tired, he had to cover his mouth and nose, took off all his clothes and sat in.

Moonlight poured through the window onto the floor, and a light white jade color covered the entire surface of the water in the barrel. Suddenly, bubbles appeared on the surface of the water in the barrel, and then more and more bubbles appeared, and a head emerged from the water.

With skin as white as jade and delicate and lovely facial features, she looked like a beautiful fairy. The small black flower on her forehead actually looked even prettier under the moonlight.

Ning Shu was sitting cross-legged in the wooden barrel at this time, thinking to himself: Sure enough, the smell becomes less bad after soaking for a while.

Fortunately, I memorized a lot of medical knowledge at my father's request, otherwise I wouldn't feel so comfortable now.

Taking a bath and singing: "Life is just a few short autumns, I won't stop until I'm drunk..." This was Ning Shu's first time living alone, so it was inevitable that he would be a little indulgent.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came:

"You seem to be in a good mood and in the mood to sing. But your song is very special. Was it written by your father?"

Ning Shu was startled by the voice. Following the moonlight, she saw her master standing at the door, looking at her with a teasing smile. It seemed that she was so engrossed that she didn't notice someone coming in.

When Ning Shu turned around, an extremely delicate girl's face came into Liao Qingxuan's eyes. Under the moonlight, the water droplets and medicine residue on her face became cute at this moment, not because they were cute in themselves, but because of this face.

When Ning Shu saw that the person coming was his master, he also cried out in embarrassment:

"Master, why are you here?"

At this moment, Liao Qingxuan was still in a daze. She came back to her senses after hearing Ning Shu's cry. At this moment, Liao Qingxuan broke out in a cold sweat; this girl's face could actually make her lose consciousness for a moment, how is this possible!

At her level, it is difficult for her to be interested in worldly things, let alone a person's appearance, especially a little girl who is also a woman.

At this moment, Liao Qingxuan's heart was filled with disbelief and deep curiosity. If she showed this face during a battle, the opponent might lose his mind for a moment and lose his life. This face was so beautiful that it could be used as a weapon!

When Liao Qingxuan came back to her senses, in addition to being shocked, she also felt that she was being played by this girl. She wanted to punish her, but when she saw Ning Shu's face, she couldn't do it. She thought to herself, what a charming goblin, so she deliberately asked:

"I didn't expect you to be so pretty. Why do you want to pretend to be ugly? What's your purpose in becoming my disciple?"

Ning Shu was at a loss when he heard this. Although he knew he had been exposed, he could not let his master misunderstand him. He silently said in his heart: Father, I'm sorry, I was exposed as soon as I arrived, so he quickly explained:

"Master, I did not intend to hide anything. Please listen to my explanation... That is why I use medicine to disguise myself every day and dress like this."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Liao Qingxuan burst out laughing and said:

"Your father was right to do this. Remember, don't reveal your true appearance until you reach the Great Emperor level. You must make yourself look ugly before going out. Do you understand?"

Liao Qingxuan felt that she had not finished speaking, so she added:

"I will go to the sect tomorrow to see if there are any other disguise techniques, and find them for you."

When Ning Shu heard this, he thought that Master was exaggerating, so he asked:

"Master, is this too much of an exaggeration? Why do I have to reach the Great Emperor Realm to reveal my true appearance? Am I going to be ugly for the rest of my life?" He made a sad face as he spoke. When Liao Qingxuan saw Ning Shu's expression, he spoke directly:

"You're still feeling wronged. Do you know how dangerous this face of yours is? Let me tell you, if you go out with your true face now, even I won't be able to protect you. I'm afraid even the emperor will snatch you away."

Ning Shu was even more shocked at this moment and thought to herself: I know I am good-looking, but I shouldn't be this good-looking. So she asked again to confirm:

"Master, is it really that dangerous? But I'm not that dangerous."

Liao Qingxuan couldn't bear it any longer at this time, and directly grabbed Ning Shu's little face with both hands, and said angrily:

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? It's really infuriating. I've been practicing for so many years, but this is the first time I've gotten angry because of someone's appearance."

Ning Shu's eyes were filled with tears as Liao Qingxuan pinched her. However, she was also complaining madly in her heart: Master, what I said is true, why are you getting stronger and stronger?

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

Ning Shu begged for mercy, and Liao Qingxuan stopped. However, she was also wondering what was wrong with her and why she was still competing with her own apprentice. She quickly said:

"Hurry up and cover your face."

Then a magical thing happened. When Ning Shu covered half of her face with a towel, especially after covering the black flower, Liao Qingxuan felt as if she had just fallen into a strange aura, and that aura could affect her mind and thoughts! Could this be the real reason why Ning Shu pretended to be ugly?

Xiaohan should have discovered this reason, which is why she keeps pretending to be ugly!

However, Liao Qingxuan did misunderstand Lao Zhang. With his ability, he only felt that this appearance was dangerous, but she did not realize it to this extent.

Looking at Ning Shu with a towel wrapped around his head, Liao Qingxuan also laughed. Ning Shu saw this and said:

"Master, you look so beautiful when you smile. Can you smile more often in the future?"

Liao Qingxuan was also a little confused by this disciple tonight, but after seeing Ning Shu's true face and hearing her praise, she always felt that this sentence was much more valuable than what others said.

Liao Qingxuan smiled and said to Ning Shu:

"Shu'er, do you know why I said that just now? It's because when I saw your face just now, I was in a trance. If you hadn't called me, I don't know how long I would have been in that state."

Ning Shu couldn't help but feel strange when she heard the change in the way her master addressed her, but she also felt that her master seemed to be closer to her.

Without waiting for Ning Shu to make any other response, Liao Qingxuan continued:

"You have to know that in a fight between cultivators, life and death are at stake in an instant. If someone had attacked me just now, I would definitely not have been able to react. Moreover, my cultivation level is already the highest in the entire sect, except for the Great Elder. So can you imagine how powerful your face is?"

When Ning Shu heard this, he was completely stunned. He was actually so powerful. But why? If this was the case, then the original owner died so unjustly.

While Ning Shu was still in shock, Liao Qingxuan beside her realized that her main purpose was to help Ning Shu clear her meridians and help her recover. However, looking at the wooden barrel in the room and the strange liquid, she asked in confusion:

"Shu'er, what are you doing?"

Ning Shu looked at the barrel that his master was pointing at, and worried about being blamed by his master, so he said:

"Master, this is the prescription my father taught me before. It can help restore physical and mental strength."

Liao Qingxuan was surprised after hearing this:

"Has your father figured out how to control the toxicity?"

Ning Shu knew that at this moment, he could only tell the truth. If he couldn't make up more, the story would become more and more outrageous. As expected, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up, so he explained:

"Master, actually this method is only applicable to me. My father said that I seem to have a physique that can melt poison!"

Liao Qingxuan was even more surprised:

"What! Special physique, but how can I have heard of this poison-melting physique?"

Ning Shu explained again:

"My father gave me the name of the poison-melting physique. He said he would look for clues later to see what the physique is."

Liao Qingxuan asked:

"Then tell me in detail what the characteristics are."

Under the moonlight, the master and the disciple started chatting across the wooden barrel.
