Chapter 763 World 311
Shen Ruyin's rationality told her that the jade bottle was engraved with an array that could keep the medicinal properties of the pills from dissipating, and Chen Ling's jade pendant was also a good thing, so it must also have other arrays.
But knowing about it and actually entering it are two different things.
After all, it's an antique from five hundred years ago...
Of course, she didn't mean to imply that her master looked young but was actually quite old.
In the end, Shen Ruyin could only pour out one pill and eat it, then her face scrunched up from how unpleasant it was.
"Master, is this what the Bigu Pill tastes like?"
Chenling told her firmly that this was the taste.
Shen Ruyin was very suspicious, but she had no evidence.
This was the first fasting pill she had ever taken in her life.
Shen Ruyin sealed the jade bottle, intending to return it to Chen Ling, but Chen Ling refused to accept it.
"Keep it; I no longer need it."
Ah this...
Shen Ruyin felt that she would most likely only eat this once.
"But Master, where should I put it?"
Shen Ruyin showed off her clothes. Because she was going to take the entrance test, she didn't even bring a purse with her, as she had nowhere to put it.
Chen Ling replied, "Put it aside for now. I'll give you something else after you successfully guide the Qi into your body."
"Oh," Shen Ruyin placed the small jade bottle on the small table, waiting for Chen Ling's instructions.
This time, however, Chenling led her directly out to the mountaintop.
The mist from Shen Ruyin's breath was clearly visible, and the chill that her clothes couldn't block came from all directions.
“Master,” Shen Ruyin said, “it’s a bit too cold.”
Chen Ling looked down and met her gaze, then chose to carry her away.
Hmm... it can still block most of the wind.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, Shen Ruyin discovered several caves.
There is a considerable distance between each cave, but the entrances of most caves are visible to each other.
Chen Ling led Shen Ruyin into a cave that had already been prepared.
Shen Ruyin felt as if she had passed through some kind of barrier, and the next moment she was covered in a dense surge of spiritual energy.
In this place, as long as one's aptitude isn't too poor, at least half of the ten people can successfully draw qi into their bodies.
Chen Ling first taught Shen Ruyin to recite the incantation twice, then had her memorize it and listen to it. Only after confirming that she could recite it did she teach her to get into the right posture.
"Follow my spiritual energy with your attention. I will guide you through one cycle. The rest is up to you."
Chen Ling extended her finger and touched Shen Ruyin's brow. She immediately felt a cold power that did not belong to her cognition coursing through her meridians.
From the small circulation to the large circulation, until a cycle is formed, it leaves again.
Chen Ling said that one cycle meant one cycle, but even after he withdrew his hand, spiritual energy continued to surge wildly towards Shen Ruyin.
He closed his eyes and cautiously sensed Shen Ruyin's condition. When he discovered that Shen Ruyin could sense things on her own and take a wisp of spiritual energy for her use, and was circulating it according to the small and large cycles he had previously taught her, he couldn't help but be surprised.
But soon, his surprise turned into satisfaction with Shen Ruyin.
While Shen Ruyin was drawing in Qi and completing the spiritual energy circulation, Chen Ling stayed by her side the whole time, never leaving for a moment.
He was relieved only when Shen Ruyin was able to complete three cycles of Qi circulation on her own.
If you were to ask Shen Ruyin what her reaction was after drawing qi into her body, her first answer would be that it smelled bad.
By drawing qi into her body and independently completing several cycles, Shen Ruyin unknowingly expelled impurities from her body.
Now these impurities are stuck to her body, emitting an unpleasant odor.
Even though Shen Ruyin herself disliked it, Chen Ling seemed oblivious and told her, "From now on, this will be your cave dwelling. You can stay here for daily seclusion and cultivation."
"Go further in and you'll find a pool of running water. Go and wash up there."
“I am in a cave fifty steps to the right after you go out. You may come and find me.”
Shen Ruyin watched Chen Ling leave before turning around and going inside.
This cave doesn't look particularly large from the outside, but it's a completely different world inside.
The place where we just used to draw qi into the body should be considered the front hall, and there are several stone chambers behind it.
Judging from the layout, in addition to the bathing pool, there are bedrooms, studies, alchemy rooms, weapon-making rooms, and so on.
Moreover, this is not just a name; it's a room that's fully equipped with alchemy furnaces and weapon-refining furnaces, ready for immediate use.
From Shen Ruyin's perspective, these items should be of decent quality, not the kind of disposable items.
Shen Ruyin glanced at it briefly before entering the bathing pool.
She tentatively dipped her finger in the water.
"Hiss... It's so cold."
Even after drawing qi into the body, the water still feels extremely cold, which can only mean that the pool may be somewhat unusual.
Shen Ruyin didn't force herself to indulge her hobby. Just as she was about to go out to find a place to boil water, she discovered that there was another tightly closed door further inside the pool.
She walked over and gently pushed the door open, releasing a rush of hot air.
Good, good, the water outside is freezing cold, but there's a hot spring inside.
As expected of the cultivation world, cultivation doesn't follow logic, which she likes.
After a comfortable wash and dressing, Shen Ruyin changed into new clothes and noticed that her skin had become much fairer and smoother.
She touched her still-damp hair, thought for a moment, and then tried using a spell she had found in that room earlier.
Shen Ruyin doesn't have much spiritual power right now, but she's clever and knows how to guide the spiritual energy through her hair. In no time, her hair was completely dry.
Only then did she go outside.
Although she had mentally prepared herself before leaving, Shen Ruyin found that she wasn't as cold as she had been before after leaving the cave. In fact, she was quite used to the chill.
Is it because of spiritual roots?
As Shen Ruyin pondered this, she had already reached the outside of Chen Ling's cave.
Sensing Shen Ruyin's arrival, the restrictions outside the cave vanished in a flash, and Chen Ling's voice came from inside: "Come in directly."
When Shen Ruyin entered, she found that the jade bottle and jade slip that she had previously placed in the house at the foot of the mountain were still there, and there was even an extra jade ring.
Chen Ling pointed to the jade ring and said, "Attach your spiritual energy to it like this."
Shen Ruyin followed his demonstration.
After the spiritual energy was attached to it, Shen Ruyin quickly felt her control over the ring.
This is a spatial ring; she can freely put and take items inside it.
As for the size of the space... it's even bigger than her old house.
Shen Ruyin didn't need Chen Ling to teach her anymore; she took the initiative to put the jade slip and jade bottle away.
Seeing that the table in front of Chen Ling was empty, she waved her hand again and threw out a few crumpled pieces of paper.
"Let's draw lots."
"What is this?" Shen Ruyin asked curiously.
Chen Ling said, "The sect leader requests a Dao name; you can draw lots to choose one."
"Master, is it really that casual to choose a Daoist name by drawing lots?" After spending some time with Chen Ling, Shen Ruyin had gotten a feel for how to get along with him and wasn't afraid of him anymore.
"At least you did the drawing of lots behind my back, why did you have to come by myself?"
Chen Ling then said very seriously, "Your title is something you should choose yourself."
