Chapter 351
Of course, the appearance of the realm of being one with the world was not based on one's level of cultivation. Sometimes, when one had just entered the first layer of Qi Practitioner, they might encounter it by chance. Furthermore, in this realm that cultivators yearned for even in their dreams, the amount of comprehension and benefits one could obtain was not based on one's level of cultivation. Two people with the same level of cultivation might experience a situation where one's level of cultivation made a breakthrough while the other gained nothing.
With Zhang Xiaohua's current level of cultivation that was close to the edge of the sixth layer of Qi Practitioner, it was truly rare for him to enter this realm by chance. However, because his level of cultivation was too low, he had never received any systematic education in this area. As a result, as soon as he entered the realm of being one with the world, he flew towards the horizon uncontrollably without comprehending the mysteries of the realm in detail. As his consciousness drifted away, some comprehensions that he was unaware of were deeply engraved into his mind. However, the greater danger was that his consciousness would expand endlessly and draw closer to the boundless Heavenly Way. In the end, it would dissipate into the horizon, and his body sitting in the teahouse would become an idiot.
As a result, although Zhang Xiaohua was unaware of the danger he was in, he could faintly sense that Ji Xiaohua's shout was of great help to him.
At that time, Zhang Xiaohua's consciousness had entered the realm of being one with the world. Various mysteries of the Heavenly Way had opened a blurry door to him. Some indescribable things were deeply engraved into his mind. He had never been able to calm down and comprehend them. Today, in this tiny town, in a small hut, he finally had the leisure to immerse himself in the memories of that day and carefully comprehend the Heavenly Way that was as vast as the starry sky.
That's right. Even if it was only a fledgling form of the Heavenly Way, it was as vast as the sea before Zhang Xiaohua.
However, since he had the outline of the starry sky in his mind, didn't that mean he had a direction to comprehend it in?
Wasn't this countless times better than being illusory and unfathomable?
As long as he continued to comprehend it, the mysteries of the starry sky would be completely comprehended one day. Didn't that mean that the Heavenly Way was within his reach?
At this moment, the droplet of essence in Zhang Xiaohua's dantian suddenly trembled, like the ripples of a drop of water falling into water. A black dot faintly appeared in the center of the essence. Afterwards, the essence began to tremble in a profound manner and slowly revolved. It was so slow that it was almost imperceptible.
Perhaps, only in this nameless town, in this inconspicuous hut, did Zhang Xiaohua truly see the essence of cultivation and take the first step into it!
Meanwhile, in the teahouse of Songning Town, the curtains to Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation began!
After an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps an instant, or perhaps an entire afternoon, Zhang Xiaohua felt some changes in the true qi in her meridians when she was meditating. It rapidly revolved and charged towards the bottleneck of the sixth layer of Qi Refining. As a result, Zhang Xiaohua temporarily stopped her comprehension of the Heavenly Way and increased her absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The accumulated true qi finally broke through the final barrier after several collisions and created new meridians in Zhang Xiaohua's body. Zhang Xiaohua finally broke through to the sixth layer of Qi Refining!
Zhang Xiaohua suppressed the joy in her heart and slowly circulated her true qi according to the sixth layer of the "Carefree Heart Sutra". She absorbed spiritual energy from origin stones and refined it in the new meridians before flowing it into her dantian, gradually stabilizing her sixth layer of Qi Refining.
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was comprehending the Heavenly Way and cultivating the "Carefree Heart Sutra" to a new level, Miss Nie also slowly opened her eyes in the hut next to her.
Miss Nie opened her eyes and felt weak all over. She turned her neck with difficulty and examined her unfamiliar surroundings. Only then did she see Xiao Orange sleeping next to her. Miss Nie was startled and stared at Xiao Orange's clothes for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Orange's hair was very familiar, she would've thought it was a stranger.
She called out softly, but her voice was weak and hoarse. Xiao Orange's head didn't move at all, as if she was deeply asleep. Miss Nie smiled bitterly in her heart. Of course, Xiao Orange must've had a sleepless night after such a big incident last night and she even had a high fever. She looked outside and saw that the sky had already darkened, so it should be the afternoon of the next day. Xiao Orange must've used up all her strength to drive her from the wilderness to this place by herself. With her body, it would be strange if she could still endure it.
Looking at Xiao Orange's clothes, Miss Nie lowered her head and looked at herself, gratification filling her heart. "This careless girl knows how to change her appearance."
At that moment, pain came from her right wrist. Miss Nie couldn't help but look at her arm on the bed out of the corner of her eyes. It was actually also in a splint. Although it looked sloppy, it had fixed the broken bone in place. She had treated it simply last night, so she wasn't sure if the bones were aligned properly. With that thought, Miss Nie raised her arm worriedly and placed it in front of her chest. Her light movement immediately caused Xiao Orange, who appeared to be deeply asleep, to shiver. She lifted her head and opened her hazy eyes. "Miss."
Seeing Miss Nie open her eyes, Xiao Orange's sleepiness immediately disappeared. She cried excitedly, "Miss, you scared me to death. You're finally awake."
Then, she placed her hand on Miss Nie's forehead and tested it. "Miss, your head still has a bit of a fever."
Seeing Xiao Orange wake up, Miss Nie smiled weakly and said, "Give me some water to drink."
Xiao Orange quickly stood up and poured some water from the teapot on the table. She lifted Miss Nie's head and fed her the water. Miss Nie gulped down the entire teacup, then licked her lips and said, "What's the taste of this water? It doesn't taste good.
Oh right, Xiao Orange, where are we? "
Xiao Orange placed the teacup on the table and helped Miss Nie lie down. Then, she recounted the morning's events in detail.
When Miss Nie heard about Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, a strange light flashed through her dim eyes. She said in a low voice, "Eccentric, he really is an eccentric."
"What?"
Xiao Orange smiled. "Miss, you're wrong this time. No matter how I look at him, he's just a normal country bumpkin who can't be normal."
"Why do you say that?" Miss Nie was confused.
"Aiyo, Miss, you didn't see him. He's petty and rustic. He wants to speak like a scholar, but he can't. He's neither fish nor fowl. No matter how I look at him, I don't find it strange."
"Oh?
It's only been half a day, and you've already figured him out so thoroughly? "
"Well, you'll know when you see him later. He's definitely not one of our people from last night."
"Alas, I didn't say that he was our man last night. Last night, the man didn't show up, but he killed more than a dozen people with the legendary flying sword skill. This kind of skill can't be practiced without decades of hard work and excellent talent. It's estimated that a senior master was playing in the world and happened to meet him, so he helped him. Although this man named Ren Xiaoyao is tall, he seems to be 69 or 60 years old. Even if he practiced martial arts since he was born, he may not have such skill."
"Yes, Miss, I think so too."
"But haven't you thought about it?
Why did he appear in the suburbs so early in the morning?
When he saw the corpses all over the ground, he didn't panic or run away. Instead, he came up to ask you and helped you drive the carriage to this town? "
"No, Miss. He wanted to leave, but … but in the end, maybe he found his conscience and stayed to help."
"Well, let's not talk about that for now. Then, he helped us buy clothes from the countryside, bought a broken carriage, and let our carriage and black horse go. Are these ideas something a youth from the countryside could think of?"
"Why wouldn't it be possible?
I think I can think of these things too. It doesn't mean he's a superhuman. "
"Alright, whether he's a superhuman or not, I feel that he's not a simple country bumpkin."
"By the way, Miss, what do you think this is?"
After saying that, Little Orange took out a small brocade box and handed it to Miss Nie. He said, "I sent Ren Xiaoyao away and took this from the corpses. If he's a superhuman, he would've known. Why would he fall for my trick?"
Thinking of the method he used to send Zhang Xiaohua away, Little Orange's face heated up.
Miss Nie looked at it and said uninterestedly, "Maybe."
"Eh, Miss, you don't seem very happy. Aren't you excited that you can keep the treasure?"
"What's there to be excited about? Didn't I say that treasures are dead and people are alive? With this treasure in our hands, bad people will come looking for us sooner or later."
"Ah, yes, Miss. Let's take it one step at a time. You should keep this treasure well. It's not safe with me."
Miss Nie smiled. "What's not safe about it?
You should keep it. If bad people come looking for you, they'll only come looking for me. "
Of course, Little Orange wasn't willing to take it. He put the brocade box on Miss Nie's uninjured left hand. "Miss, you should keep it well. The two of us are very safe together."
Miss Nie smiled and put it in her pocket.
Then, Miss Nie brought her right hand to her chest and carefully examined it. She smiled and said, "The doctors here are average, but their basic skills are solid. When they put the splint on, they actually didn't open my set bone."
"Yes, Miss. You still have a fever. Shouldn't you change your medicine?"
"Yes, let me take a look at the prescription the doctor gave this morning."
Little Orange thought about it and went out. He rummaged through the small carriage and brought the prescription and herbs into the room. Miss Nie took a look and said with a smile, "This prescription is a bit lacking. It's harmful to the body and can't treat my illness. Bring me the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I'll make some changes."
Hearing this, Little Orange was a little embarrassed and said, "Miss, in order to avoid being noticed, I also sat in a carriage to come to this inn. I'm not familiar with the road. I think I'd better call Ren Xiaoyao and ask him to help us."
