Chapter 46
Chapter 46 . Ascending for Cultivation
The girl standing in the pavilion looked at Li Yundong’s back in surprise, until someone stood silently behind her . She turned back and smiled, “Sister Zi Yuan, you are here . ”
The girl named Zi Yuan was about one inch taller than the girl in the pink dress . She looked gorgeous in a long purple skirt . The fluttering skirt made her look like a fairy in heaven .
The two girls stood in the pavilion, just like the fairies who came down from paintings . Everyone who passed by would feel shock when looking at them .
Zi Yuan’s gaze looked less sharp than the girl in the pink-skirt girl and her eyes looked as if they were misted up . Her voice sounded cold, “Well, Hong Ling, what are you looking at?”
Hong Ling couldn’t help turning to the direction in which Li Yundong had disappeared again . She said, “It seems that I just met a cultivator . ”
Zi Yuan calmly said, “There are so many cultivators in the world . It isn’t strange to meet one or two Outer Disciples here . ”
Hong Ling shook her head and said, “He looked like an Inner Disciple rather than an Outer Disciple . He looked at me across fifty or sixty meters, and his eyes were so sharp that I couldn’t even look back!”
Zi Yuan felt a little shocked . “Oh? Although you are not that diligent, thanks to our master, you are a decent cultivator . Is there such an impressive figure in the small city of Tiannan?”
Hong Ling said, “Sister Zi Yuan, why are you always downplaying me?”
While looking at Hong Ling, Zi Yuan showed a fond smile . “I am going back to the sect, and you can continue to practice here, but with your temper and character, I am worried!”
Hong Ling said back, “Sister Zi Yuan! I’m not a little girl anymore . I can take care of myself!”
Zi Yuan smiled and said nothing while looking into the distance . They stood in the pavilion for a while until Hong Ling suddenly said, “Sister Zi Yuan, let me send you off . ”
Zi Yuan said, “That’s fine . I am leaving . You must remember not to disturb the worldly people . This is the rule that cannot be violated!”
Hong Ling said impatiently, “You have said it a thousand times!”
Zi Yuan shook her head and revealed a thoughtful look .
Since she was young, Hong Ling was afraid of Zi Yuan . When she saw Zi Yuan fall silent, she tentatively asked, “Sister Zi Yuan, what are you thinking?”
Zi Yuan said, “I am thinking about the whereabouts of the gold pill . ”
Hong Ling blinked at her . “Are you still thinking about the pill? Sister Zi Yuan, are you feeling something? Ha, what a rare reaction!”
After hearing this, Zi Yuan didn’t change her face as if she didn’t hear her . She looked far away and whispered, “Where is the gold pill?”
…
Li Yundong and Su Chan moved into the new house that day . Su Chan looked at the spacious and bright new apartment while excitedly running from one room to another . She played on the Simmons mattress while rolling about and then stretched her body out of the high balcony while shouting excitedly .
“Hey, be careful . Don’t fall!” Li Yundong was scared when he saw Su Chan almost hanging on the railing of the balcony . He ran over and grabbed her waist .
As a cultivator, Su Chan wasn’t afraid of this . She giggled and turned around, excitedly pulling Li Yundong’s arm and pointing in the distance like a cheerful little sparrow . She said, “Yundong, Yundong, look . Look at the view!”
When seeing the little girl’s eyebrows almost flying, he smiled and tapped her on the nose before looking up .
It was evening and the sun was going down while the moon was rising . The rosy clouds looked like red-colored glass and he found it to be very beautiful .
By looking at it at once, Li Yundong suddenly felt that his eyes were widened and his heart was refreshed . A breath rushed into his heart from his lower abdomen, making him want to scream .
Su Chan could tell that looking at the sky at such a high position had triggered the gold pill in his chest and caused his blood to stir and swell, thus creating the urge to scream .
Many mountain climbers often felt excitement like “I bare my breast toward the opening clouds, I strain my sight after watching the birds fly home . When shall I reach the top and hold all the mountains in a single glance?” and were about to roar when they climbed to the top of the mountain .
Most of them were young people who were vigorous since their breath was strong and easily swayed by the Qi between heaven and earth, while the elderly wouldn’t be attracted unless their bodies had been trained well . Otherwise, they would never be touched by the Qi of heaven and earth or feel the urge to shout .
Su Chan remembered that her master once told her that people would have the urge to shout in three situations .
The first scenario was when facing great scenery such as standing on the top of a mountain or facing a sea . People often had the urge to shout out because the Qi between heaven and earth was so powerful that it would attract all mortals who even had a little bit of Qi in their chest and made them shout .
The second scenario was when people felt distressed, boredom, depression, grievances, pain, entanglement in their chests . In order to resolve the pain, people would shout or sigh . Otherwise, the emotion would make people sick if it existed in the human body for a long time .
The third scenario was when people were refining Qi . At that time, they would have the most vigorous Qi in bodies and couldn’t help screaming! During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty when Wang Yangming, the great Confucian scholar, practiced Qi in the military camp for one night, he suddenly he felt that his Qi had been refined and couldn’t help screaming . His sounds were heard a few miles away, and everyone was shocked . They thought that there was a god in the military camp!
At this time, Li Yundong was both a mortal who was tempted by heaven and earth and also a partial cultivator who was refining Qi .
He felt that there was a breath in his chest that he had to let loose .
As Li Yundong opened his mouth and was about to let out a long scream, Su Chan immediately hit the Huagai Acupoint on his chest .
It was an essential point for the human body . As Su Chan hit it, she surpressed Li Yundong’s impulse to shout as if a thousand people guarded a fortress .
Su Chan secretly thought that if Li Yundong screamed out, the cultivators around would immediately hear him and come for them . At that time, they would be in big trouble or killed!
There were many cultivators in the world who were in hidding . Sometimes, even if they lived next to each other, they might not be able to tell that who was a cultivator .
Su Chan was born in the Fox Zen Sect and was proficient in the hiding technique . She could cover her Demon Aura, so she dared to follow Li Yundong everywhere .
However, Li Yundong didn’t understand . If he shouted out and was heard by cultivators, they would definitely come to check with curiosity . Once they arrived, they would surely notice the powerful gold pill in Li Yundong’s body!
Given that Li Yundong wasn’t a full cultivator, even though he could beat ordinary people with the gold pill’s power, he couldn’t even bend a finger of an actual cultivator!
At this time, Li Yundong was like a child walking in a downtown city with a golden rice bowl . It wasn’t strange that everyone would covet the gold pill’s Qi!
Li Yundong’s breath was forced to go down, and he felt uncomfortable in his chest . He thought it was because he was tired from all the activity from the day .
He rubbed his chest and frowned .
Seeing this, Su Chan immediately said, “Do you need a massage?”
Li Yundong smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it . You must be tired too . Forget it!”
Su Chan thought for a moment . Since it was the time that yang qi was rising while the yin qi was falling, it wasn’t the best time for him to refine Qi . They should wait until 12 am!
Su Chan didn’t insist . She rolled her eyes and said, “What can I do for you? Boil water or cook?”
Li Yundong trembled and said quickly, “Dear, forget it . I will do it myself . What do you want to eat? I will make something for you!”
Su Chan said shyly, “Oh, how sorry I am! You are doing everything for me . ”
Li Yundong said in a serious manner, “If you do nothing, you are helping me!”
Su Chan screamed, “You!” After that, she rushed into the bedroom .
Li Yundong laughed and went to the kitchen . He rolled up his sleeves and was going to cook with the vegetables that they bought in the market .
At six o’clock in the evening, Li Yundong made three dishes and one soup . They sat in the spacious and bright kitchen while looking at each other and smiling .
While looking at the beautiful little girl in front of him in their stylish and spacious new home, he felt unspeakable happiness and joy in his heart .
“Is this the feeling of home?” Li Yundong sighed . “What a pity! This house doesn’t even belong to me! When I have money, I will buy a house like this!”
Su Chan nodded hard and said, “You will become more and more powerful in the future . It’s not a big deal!”
Li Yundong didn’t know she was talking about cultivation and thought she meant his ability to make money . He laughed and pushed the dish in front of him to the little fox .
This was Li Yundong’s specialty dish: the beer duck . It wasn’t only delicious but also beautiful . Su Chan looked at it, drooling, but she was too embarrassed to eat it up, so she just took a piece of duck in her bowl .
Li Yundong said, “Eat more . Don’t be courteous!”
Su Chan shyly took another piece, and Li Yundong felt confused, “Didn’t this girl have a good appetite? How come she suddenly became reserved? This isn’t right!”
Li Yundong again said, “What are you doing? Are you afraid of getting fat? Eat more . Are they not delicious? Don’t…”
Before he finished talking, Su Chan put the bowl with only two pieces of duck in front of him and then pulled over the large bowl of beer duck to herself .
She said with a shy look, “Sorry and thank you!”
“Damn…” Li Yundong’s face twitched and began robbing the beer duck in front of Su Chan, “You! Give it back, or I’ll kill you!”
Su Chan covered the food with her hands like a pet protected its food . She yelled at Li Yundong, “No, no, I would rather die!”
After that, she took the bowl and turned over to swallow .
Li Yundong smiled and said, “Hey, eat slowly . It’s very hot . Don’t burn yourself!”
Su Chan made a face at him and said, “I won’t give this up even if I get burnt! It’s your fault for making it so delicious!”
Their quarrel and the laughs that followed echoed throughout their new home . The new moon squinted and looked at them as if it was envious of the excellent relationship between them .
