Chapter 10, the young master is simply afraid of trouble
Jing Jiu did not die, nor did he show any reaction
If this scene were to fall into the eyes of Master Lü or other celestial masters of the Qing Shan Sect, it would likely shake their resolve in wielding the sword.
That night, Jing Jiu stood in the small courtyard, hands clasped behind his back, gazing silently at the peaks under the starry sky
However, what he did not expect was that Liu, after tossing and turning all night at the age of ten, still came today, still engaged in those activities, and even appeared to be more motivated than ever before
Even if he continuously absorbs the vital energy of heaven and earth, it will still take at least more than one year to fill the spiritual sea
He does not find it difficult; on the contrary, he feels quite exhilarated
He did not deceive at the age of ten; in those dreams, in addition to further integration, he indeed engaged in a great deal of thinking, reasoning, and calculation
He does not need it
Even if he cannot hear, Master Lü will deliberately make sure he hears it
He does not feel proud, for his ability to be so complete is solely due to the uniqueness of his current body
His spiritual sea seems like a true ocean, or rather an unfathomable deep sea. He wishes to fill this ocean with the essence of heaven and earth, but it is uncertain how long it will take. Even if he continuously consumes the Purple Mysterious Pill, the progress remains slow, and ultimately, the potency of the medicine will run out.
At the age of ten, Liu finished his morning chores, brewed a pot of tea and placed it on the table, and then moved the bamboo reclining chair out from the cave room
He turned back to look at Jing Jiu, who was seemingly fast asleep with his eyes closed on the bamboo lounge chair, and couldn't help but break into a smile
This is truly an experience he has never had before
Only after completing these two steps did he return to the Qing Shan Sect, only to find that he had nothing to do but wait
How can a person devoted to the path of cultivation spend time on such matters
The absence of rhythm is also a form of rhythm, still representing the length and intervals of breath
After spending a year together, he knows that many times when Jing Jiu appears to be sleeping, he is actually not.
If classified according to the level of an ordinary practitioner, he has long surpassed the stage of having a form and has entered the realm of embracing the divine
The intricacies of this realm are naturally beyond the comprehension of practitioners like Master Lü.
In all things in the world, there is gain and there is loss
He needs to deduce the past and the future
When the sun rose above the peaks that day, Liu Shisui finally completed his body refinement, his small face covered in beads of sweat, and his body faintly ached.
For the same reason, his body is quite unique, capable of absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth with remarkable ease, while also being able to withstand a greater amount of this vital energy.
If he does not want to attract too much attention and cause trouble, he can also, like those other outer disciples, diligently cultivate every day and endure through this more than one year period
One can imagine how precious this elixir is; only those disciples with the greatest potential and talent would receive such treatment
Jing Jiu lay on the bamboo chair, facing the newly risen sun, slightly squinting, his fingers gently tapping on the armrest of the chair, without any rhythm
Jing Jiu understands Master Lü very well; if he were in the same position, he would act in the same way
Before the great way, when there was no heaven and earth, let alone any young masters
Liu, at the age of ten, did not go to the sword hall today. He remained in the small courtyard, standing with a swift stance, his arms appearing to extend casually, yet they were as quick as lightning
Ling Hai is dissatisfied, and the Dao seed grows in solitude, making it impossible to transform into a sword fruit and enter the next stage of cultivation. What can he do?
Young Master
Jing Jiu, however, treats this precious elixir as if it were fried beans, consuming it without restraint
However, he will not do this, not only because of the most secret reason, but also because he finds it very troublesome to do so
Seeing the troubled expression on Liu's ten-year-old face, Jing Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter
More precisely, when he stepped into the small stream inside the cave, he had already reached the realm of embracing the divine
At the age of ten, Liu knew that the young master was very lazy, and the bamboo lounge chair beneath him was proof of that; he did not know how it had been moved from home.
In the mountain village for a year, he spent much of his time sleeping, as he needed to understand and become familiar with this body
He needs to reflect on why he is here
He has already calculated that in three days, the Zixuan Pill will no longer be of any help to him, let alone those ordinary pills
If Liu were ten years old and had listened to Master Lü's advice, he would have understood it well and would have acted in the same way.
However, since Liu Shisui did not heed Master Lü's advice, he naturally would not drive Liu Shisui away for the sake of some inexplicable matter of dignity
Is this boredom
For disciples who have attained the realm of embracing the divine, a single Purple Xuan Dan is equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation
Master Lü hoped that he would have self-awareness, or perhaps out of a sense of humiliation, he took the initiative to drive away Liu Shisui.
In the early days, very few of the sword-bearing disciples in the Nine Peaks of Qingshan had ever consumed this type of elixir.
The problem lies in ... ... too much
He took a sip of the herbal tea, shook his head, and found the taste quite ordinary
He also knows that the young master is an extremely intelligent person and quite capable, but it is not easy to come to the Qing Shan Sect and have the opportunity to engage with the immortal arts and swordsmanship. How can he continue to be so lazy?
Even with an innate disposition, children do not conceal their true emotions
Jing Jiu suddenly wondered what this little boy was really thinking
Jing Jiu sensed an emotion he had never experienced before, and thought uncertainly: "Someone like me can actually feel bored?"
Yes, he is just afraid of trouble, and he is not truly lazy
In the initial nine days, he merely completed the preliminary integration, and it would take a considerable amount of time to fully master the most subtle aspects within his body
He took out a pale blue pill, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Based on the quantity and frequency of his consumption of the Purple Xuan Pill, if he were an ordinary outer sect disciple, he would only need one hour to achieve the perfection of the Divine Realm
Jing Jiu quietly looked at him
On the morning of the second day, Liu Shisui came again, sweeping the courtyard, collecting the morning meal, and neatly gathering the fallen leaves into an attractive pile
If it were in the past, he would not have reacted at all to the sound of Jing Jiu tapping on the bamboo chair, but through the verification from a few days ago, he naturally began to listen attentively
Looking back at the green mountains for tens of thousands of years, he should be the one who entered the realm of embracing the divine the fastest
Liu, at the age of ten, felt somewhat hesitant; he had never done such a thing before. However, thinking of Master Lu's stern face from last night, he finally mustered the courage and said softly: "... could you please not be so lazy?"
If the young master continues to be this lazy, how will he pass the inner gate assessment? What if he is truly driven away by the immortal master?
It is truly troublesome that it will take so many more days
He needs to calculate the gains and losses as well as the situation
If the rumors are true, there exists a treasure in the Zen realm that can alter time, or at least save some time, but he knows that such a treasure does not exist, so for now, he can only wait
It is not easy to have someone familiar with one's daily habits to help manage everyday life, something he has never experienced in the long years past
The pale blue elixir is called Zixuandan, and it is the best elixir that practitioners can consume in the initial stage of their cultivation
Certainly, it is more likely that half an hour ago, that outer sect disciple had already died due to a surge in the amount of true essence.
He did not heed Liu Shisui's advice to step forward with a bow fist, refining his body to connect the internal and external, pursuing a complete state of ritual and achieving a solid foundation for future cultivation
Last night, Lu Shi listened attentively to the conversation between Liu and the ten-year-old.
