Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 35: The Cultivation of Yulan (Seeking to Continue Reading!)

The snow outside has melted.

As a result, the weather has become even colder.

Inside the earthen house.

A thick layer of white ash has quietly covered the charcoal in the brazier. When the door is opened, the wind blows in, and the charcoal reveals the flickering sparks inside as if it were being peeled.

Yu Xian stands at the door, blowing in the cold wind, feeling his impatient heart calming down.

Then he turns around, his face already wearing that familiar smile.

"It's okay, take your time. I've always said that this kind of thing can't be rushed."

Sitting cross-legged in front of the brazier, Yulan, with her small face reddened by the heat, looks dejected, like a pitiful little cat.

"Master, am I useless?"

"Sister Xiaoyi can cultivate to the entry level in an instant, but after so long, I'm still like a fool, and I even used Master's precious spirit stone."

In these two months, not only has Chen Yi been practicing spiritual arts, but Yulan has also been diligently cultivating, using spirit stones to assist in her practice.

Once again, Yu Xian thanks the Lin family cultivator. Without his generous help, Yu Xian would not have been able to afford such luxury.

But the results can't be said to be satisfactory, they can only be described as dissatisfactory.

Yu Xian doesn't blame Yulan.

This girl may seem naive and carefree, always appearing happy and not caring about anything, but he can see her efforts in secret.

Whenever she has free time, she would contemplate and meditate on her own. Now, out of ten times, she can enter a state of meditation three or four times.

But she is still far from being able to gather qi into her body.

Reality is so cruel, geniuses are always one in a million, while most people are just mediocre or even foolish. A lifetime of effort is not comparable to the enlightenment of a genius in a single day.

Yulan is just an ordinary person.

Even he is not much better than Yulan.

His original self began cultivating at the age of twelve, and after eighteen years of cultivation in the immortal cultivation world, he only reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Yu Xian is grateful that this world does not have restrictions like "spirit roots", otherwise there would be no opportunity for him to strive even if he wanted to.

But there is no doubt that aptitude is still a huge barrier in front of everyone.

"You are my greatest treasure, how could you be useless?"

Yu Xian clears his mind, smiles, and walks forward, bowing and reaching out. Yulan hugs his neck tightly, her whole body embraced in his arms.

"Your legs must be numb. Let's rest today. Take me to the back mountain to catch rabbits."

"Master, the rabbits now have no meat and don't taste good at all. The rabbits that have just entered winter are fat and delicious, all plump and chubby."

Yulan's legs are wrapped around Yu Xian's waist, her whole body nestled in his arms, her face filled with a look of happiness.

She doesn't know what the purpose of cultivation is, and she doesn't particularly like it, but this is what Master wants her to do, so she will do her best.

And Master did say that after she enters the entry level of cultivation, he will marry her.

"Then let's make osmanthus wine and brew spring tea, let's learn from the romance of our predecessors."

Yu Xian throws Yulan behind him.

"Hold on tight, don't fall."

Yu Xian dashes out, facing the cold wind, leaving behind a trail of laughter like silver bells.

...

Time is like sand slipping through one's fingers.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Xian welcomes his first New Year in the mortal world.

The lights are bright outside, the children in the village are wearing new clothes, wearing tiger-head hats, holding incense sticks, and setting off firecrackers in the open space.

Firecrackers are popping and crackling.

A theater troupe has arrived at the village, setting up a stage and singing operas with great excitement.

By the way, the theater troupe is using Yu Xian's silver.

The whole village knows that the Gu family's young miss did not become the concubine of the lord, but married another important figure.

When the Gu family's young master came to stay in the Gu village, the Gu family also became prosperous.

It is said that the Gu family's young master bought dozens of acres of land for the Gu family, and there is a newly built mansion. Many villagers helped with the work, and they all had a prosperous year.

Now the Gu family is also considered the number one landlord in the village.

There are often children in the village who claim to have seen the Gu family's young master flying in the sky behind the mountain, and the rumors have made the Gu family even more mysterious.

Yu Xian came to the Gu village a few months ago, and although he doesn't often show up, the villagers deeply respect him.

Inside the house.

Yulan sat on the bed, her little face serious. In front of her was a snow-white pill, the size of a peanut, made entirely of jade, like a pearl.

This pill is none other than the Spirit Nurturing Pill that Yu Xian obtained from the Lin family cultivator.

When Yu Xian interrogated the Lin family cultivator, he naturally didn't forget to ask about the effects of this Spirit Nurturing Pill.

The Spirit Nurturing Pill is a mid-grade first-tier spirit pill, containing a large amount of pure spiritual energy. Taking one pill can fill a cultivator's dantian with spiritual energy, as if there is a spring of spiritual energy, quickly replenishing the energy needed for a battle for a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage.

It is also the reliance of the Lin family cultivators in the mortal world.

If it weren't for the Spirit Nurturing Pill, not only would they be able to use spiritual arts to show off their strength, but it would also be difficult for them to ensure that their cultivation level does not regress.

The Spirit Nurturing Pill is already an entry-level elixir and can only be refined by alchemists. It is very precious, and even the Lin family cultivators are only given one pill each time they go on a mission.

So Yu Xian only has this one pill in his hand.

If it weren't for Yulan saying today that she had a sense of qi, Yu Xian wouldn't have thought of using this pill to help her.

The most difficult conditions for Yulan to enter cultivation are her own aptitude and the spiritual energy environment.

With this Spirit Nurturing Pill, he can temporarily create a spiritual energy environment that is better than the ordinary cultivation world for her.

"Master, maybe we should wait a little longer. Today might just be my imagination," Yulan hesitated and said softly.

Seeing Yu Xian's serious expression, she knew that the pill in front of her must be very precious. After all, Yu Xian casually gave her a hundred taels of gold, but hesitated to take out this pill.

"Don't speak, calm your mind, grasp the feeling you just had, and then take the pill," Yu Xian's voice was low, carrying an indescribable seriousness.

"Okay."

Yulan took a deep breath and put the pill in her mouth, trying to find the feeling she had just experienced.

She didn't know how long had passed.

Yulan was already feeling a bit dazed, as if she saw little shining stars in the air.

As she focused her thoughts, they were slowly attracted and approached, but for some reason, those little stars stopped moving after a while.

A flash of insight came to her mind, and she knew that this was the moment Yu Xian mentioned when she should take the pill. She swallowed the pill in her mouth.

A violent surge of spiritual energy erupted all around her.

Because she had not officially entered cultivation, she couldn't fully contain the power of the Spirit Nurturing Pill in her dantian, and most of it dissipated.

But the spiritual energy that escaped also transformed the area around Yulan into a temporary spiritual energy paradise.

Under the impact of the intense spiritual energy, Yulan felt like a lone boat in the vast sea, swaying and at a loss.

At this moment, a voice came to her ears.

"Guide the qi into your body, pour it into your dantian, cultivate your mana, and begin!"

Yulan gritted her teeth and followed the instructions, finally grasping a strand of spiritual energy and finding her dantian. With one breath, she launched an attack.

Boom!

As if the morning bell and evening drum, Yulan felt her soul shedding its shell, and suddenly her surroundings brightened, revealing a new world.

She opened her eyes and saw Yu Xian's relieved smile, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"Master, I did it!"

"Sob, I did it!"

Yulan burst into tears, crying tears of joy.
