Chapter 25
Petty-Minded
Dong Xi turned around and left. her lonely back seemed to be in a daze. Wang Ying sighed as she looked at Dong Xi’s back. This little girl was still too young. She felt like she had suffered a disappointment just like that. In the future, the girl will learn that there are disappointments everywhere on the path of cultivation.
Dong Xi went out. After confirming that she had left everyone’s line of sight, she immediately returned to her normal state. That thin and tall boy looked like he had the life of a cannon fodder. He was so willing to meddle in other people’s business and was also so petty. He could not bear to see others doing well.
Dong Xi walked back to her small house. This time, she had been in seclusion for four days. She would go to the canteen every morning and take some steamed buns. After she returned, he would spend the entire day in her house studying how to use spiritual energy.
First, she formed a seal according to the method Wang Ying had taught her. Then, she drew out spiritual Qi and controlled the size of the fireball in his hand according to the amount of spiritual Qi. Dong Xi memorized these feelings. Next time, she did not form any seals. He just opened his palm and a fireball appeared.
When she reached out to touch the fireball, she did not burn her hand. However, she could still light a lamp with the flame in her hand. Dong Xi’s heart moved. The flame on her fingertip turned green in color and then yellow in color.
Dong Xi looked at the changes in the spiritual Qi on her hand and smiled. The purple spiritual Qi could change at any time, which was also very good. The attributes of wood and earth spiritual roots were relatively low, and the absorption was also very slow. If it was transferred over like this, the fire spiritual Qi would be more abundant.
Dong Xi now understood that the purpose of the Cultivation Technique Hall was to teach these new disciples how to use spiritual energy. However, it was still the same. Fire spiritual Qi was fire, and wood spiritual Qi could promote the growth of plants, and it could also distinguish the age and attributes of plants.
It was just that the new disciples were not familiar with it yet. As long as the spiritual energy in their bodies was matched with the corresponding detection, they could suppress other spiritual Qi. Dong Xi did not have these problems. When her spiritual Qi entered her Dantian, it immediately turned purple. When she needed to use it, she could just change it directly. She did not need to go through the trouble of suppressing it.
Dong Xi casually played with the green ball of light, thinking about whether she should accept some sect missions next. Although the sect provided food, accommodation, and welfare for the entire year, the outer sect disciples like them had relatively poor aptitudes.
It was useless to only know how to cultivate. One still needed to have some fortuitous encounter or the help of special medicinal pills. Disciples below the second level of Qi Refinement stage could not take on missions outside, but they could still take on missions within the sect.
For example, helping to dig up some herbs in the herb field, or going to the kitchen to fetch water and wash vegetables. Dong Xi thought as she retracted the spiritual energy in her hand. The next moment, she looked at her fingers and her eyes widened.
Dong Xi still remembered that when she had gone to pick the fruit that day, she had accidentally cut her hand. How could there not even be a scar now? This morning, she could still see the scar. After pondering for a moment, Dong Xi recalled that wood spiritual energy was the spiritual energy of life.
She had wanted to continue experimenting, but looking at her own delicate hands, Dong Xi really could not do it. Dong Xi was in a dilemma for a long time. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to look at the little snake on the bed. There was a little white lab rat over there, right? Why did she need to experiment on herself when she had this snake?
Dong Xi picked up the little snake, untied the cloak on the little snake, raised her hand to gather the green wood spiritual Qi, and covered the little snake’s injured area. Su Cheng woke up again, and was suddenly a little irritable.
No one would be happy if they were woken up by someone from their closed-door cultivation. Moreover, this was not just once or twice. They woke up several times a day. Su Cheng now wanted to swallow this girl in one bite.
However, in the next moment, Su Cheng’s violent temper was purified by a cloud of dense wood spiritual energy. Snakes loved plants. This dense wood spiritual energy entered his body and repaired Su Cheng’s slightly broken heart. As it was repaired bit by bit, his heart started beating again.
However, Dong Xi’s cultivation level was too low. She only repaired it for a while before withdrawing her hand. As the comfortable feeling dissipated, Su Cheng subconsciously curled himself around Dong Xi’s finger. Dong Xi felt a cold sensation on her finger. At first, she was stunned, and then her face was filled with ecstasy.
“It’s true. The wood spiritual energy does have a healing effect. It’s the spiritual energy of life. The little snake has come back to life not long after it’s been used.” Dong Xi said excitedly as he grabbed the little snake.
“As expected, as expected. Little snake, you’re alright? You’re alive? That’s great, I was right.”
