Chapter 242 Unsuitable Person
After Bai Yaoyao comforted Xiao Xiaoxiao for a while, she finally stopped crying, but she kept avoiding the serious Chen Yingjie's eyes.
At this time, Chen Yingjie no longer paid attention to her, but looked at the "Xuanyuan Qiling Jue" with a very heavy expression.
After a while, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "How about this! I'll try practicing first, if there's no problem, you guys can start again!"
"No..." Bai Yaoyao was about to object, but was interrupted by Chen Yingjie, "Miss Bai, there is no need to say more. We were chosen by the country to accompany you on this exotic trip so that we can see the world and see a world different from Blue Star, but our most important mission is to protect your safety."
He said earnestly, "This book came to me in an odd way. Let me try it first, so I can feel at ease!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao, who had been lowering her head beside him, also raised her head at this time, "Count me in too!"
She quickly glanced at Chen Yingjie, then immediately looked back at Bai Yaoyao, "Having one more person try it can eliminate a little more risk. Besides, Yaoyao and I are both girls..."
Bai Yaoyao shook her head seriously.
"No! I'm not that noble. I need you to help me figure out the risks before I can move forward."
686 in his mind also agreed, "That's right! And I'm still here!" If things get out of hand, it can just bleed a little and use time reversal! A dignified system can't even protect its host? What a joke!
"But..." Chen Yingjie wanted to say more, but Bai Yaoyao waved his hand to stop him. "Brother Chen, I know that before we set out, they may have told you to put my safety first, but to me, my life is life, and so is yours! Besides, I still have the system! It won't let me die easily!"
Seeing Bai Yaoyao's determined expression, Chen Yingjie no longer insisted.
"Well then! Let's take a look at this immortal cultivation secret book together! We will share happiness and hardships together! We will die together!"
The three of them smiled at each other, then opened the ancient book together, sat cross-legged according to the method in the secret book, and began to draw the Qi into their bodies.
I don’t know if it’s because of the rich spiritual energy in this secret realm, or because they are indeed rare geniuses in cultivation, but in less than half an hour, the atmosphere in the field has changed.
As they began to silently recite the secret of drawing in energy from the book, it was as if a black hole suddenly appeared in Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao's bodies, stirring up the spiritual energy in the space and rushing towards them.
An hour later, Chen Yingjie opened his eyes first, his eyes sparkling with joy.
“I feel the spiritual energy!”
At this moment, Chen Yingjie felt that he was as light as a swallow, as if he was walking on clouds. Before, he just thought that the air in the rest area of this inn was very fresh. Now, looking at it again, he found that it was filled with light milky white spiritual energy, which was floating in the air.
Even this bamboo forest has been absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy.
Chen Yingjie was extremely excited. This pleasure was even stronger than the first time he touched the gun.
But no matter what, he couldn't sense any spiritual energy. Bai Yaoyao, who had stood up and hidden nearby, suddenly spoke.
"Well! Brother Chen! Why don't you go take a shower first!"
Bai Yaoyao covered her mouth and nose, but continued to dry heave. Seeing that Chen Yingjie was standing there intoxicated after he sobered up, she could not hold it back any longer and had to interrupt him.
"What?" Chen Yingjie was stunned. Looking at Bai Yaoyao's painful mask, he lowered his head to look at himself, only to see that his whole body was covered with a layer of gray-brown substance, which was emitting a foul odor.
Chen Yingjie smiled awkwardly, "This is probably the impurities discharged by the body during the process of drawing air into the body. I will go clean it up now."
After saying that, he ran back to his room as if escaping.
When Chen Yingjie came out again, Bai Yaoyao was the only one left in the small bamboo forest.
"Xiaoxiao just woke up and went to take a shower."
Bai Yaoyao saw him looking around and explaining, then asked curiously:
"Brother Chen, you and Xiaoxiao have now absorbed the Qi into your body, right? Have you reached the Qi Refining stage?"
"Yes! The Qi Refining Stage is divided into ten levels, and I have reached the first level." Chen Yingjie nodded, his eyes clear with a hint of doubt, no longer surprised after just waking up, "I didn't expect it would be so easy to draw Qi into the body? I read in the ancient book that drawing Qi into the body is the first and most critical step, and it requires multiple attempts!"
The corners of Bai Yaoyao's mouth twitched, as if she felt the power of Versailles again when she heard that Chen Yingjie had learned the language of this world without any foundation...
She secretly rolled her eyes, "Maybe Brother Chen, besides being an ordinary language genius, you are also an ordinary seedling of immortal cultivation! Unlike me," Bai Yaoyao laughed at herself, "I can't enter into meditation no matter what I do, and I can't feel any spiritual energy..."
Later, he was so irritated by the stench surrounding Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao that he could no longer sit still and simply went away.
Chen Yingjie looked at the somewhat frustrated Bai Yaoyao, and quickly suppressed his excitement, and asked with concern: "Miss Bai, didn't you feel the spiritual energy after entering into meditation?"
Bai Yaoyao shook her head. "No! I followed the instructions in the book and silently recited the Qi-inducing Technique. I almost fell asleep while sitting there, and I didn't feel any changes around me."
Chen Yingjie frowned, "It is said in the ancient book that drawing Qi into the body and sensing spiritual energy is the first and most critical step in cultivation. It cannot be achieved overnight. Miss Bai, you can try more. Maybe you can successfully sense it next time!"
The three of them practiced at the same time. Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao both successfully took the first step, but she gained nothing.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't sad at all, but after 686's comfort, Bai Yaoyao felt much better.
"It's okay, Brother Chen. I will try again. Doesn't the book also say that not everyone is suitable for cultivation? Maybe I am the one who is not suitable!"
Seeing Chen Yingjie opening his mouth to speak, Bai Yaoyao hurriedly continued, "Brother Chen, there's no need to comfort me. Even if I really can't practice, I still have the system! If you lose something in one place, you can gain something in another. Don't be too greedy!"
Bai Yaoyao winked playfully and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, after you drew the Qi into your body, did you feel any changes in your body?"
Bai Yaoyao was extremely curious, like a cat scratching her heart, and couldn't wait to know what difference would be made after practicing.
Chen Yingjie stood up and performed a set of military boxing. After a while, he gathered his breath and returned to his position. He said to Bai Yaoyao, "It's too early to learn flying and hiding. Now is just the beginning. But I feel that my body has become lighter, and my body flexibility, coordination, and strength have also improved."
He looked up at the dense bamboo forest in this space, "The most important thing is that the world I see now is very different from before! It's full of spiritual energy..."
As the two were talking, Xiao Xiaoxiao came out after washing up.
Only then did Bai Yaoyao realize that Xiao Xiaoxiao's changes were even greater than Chen Yingjie's.
Her skin used to be a little dull, but now her little face is glowing white, the freckles on her face have disappeared, and she seems to have a more fairy-like air.
Xiao Xiaoxiao was obviously very satisfied with her current appearance. She held Bai Yaoyao's hand and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that cultivation could actually change one's appearance! It's amazing!"
God knows, she has been laughed at by her classmates since she was a child because of her plain appearance, which made her develop an inferiority complex and introverted character. Now she has suddenly changed!
This is simply the happiest thing in her life!
