Chapter 9: Night after Day
Yao Beibei still remembered what Hua Qianqiu said when he accepted her. He said that she would not be regarded as one of his nominal disciples until she passed the entrance test, and he would not accept her as an in-house disciple until the Foundation establishment period!
At the time, Yao Beibei thought that the entrance examination was very simple, just to see the effect of the introductory training. Maybe if she just studied hard and practice, she would definitely pass, so she did not take this entrance test seriously.
Yao Beibei suddenly remembered that although Long Tian and Yuan Muxue had been hostile to her, their expressions were actually smug and ridiculing. They must have expected her not to pass the entrance examination! And the reason Long Tian was so diligent in telling her the pass rate of the entrance examination was that he wanted to test her and personally determine whether his judgment was correct!
“Woohoo … how can you do this! Long Tian, you mean man …” Cursing Long Tian countless times in her heart, , Yao Beibei fled like a ghost. She was going to find Bai Ziming to help her practice!
As soon as Yao Beibei lifted her foot, she heard that Long Tian was laughing behind her, with utter presumptuousness and abomination.
After Yao Beibei’s figure disappeared, Long Tian’s smile disappeared and put on a cold face. Even the air surrounding him seemed to have cooled down a lot.
Qingfeng Cafeteria.
Yao Beibei, holding a full dinner plate, wandered around the dining room, and finally she found Bai Ziming sitting in a corner, and she smiled subserviently: “Brother Bai, let’s practice together after calss, so that we can make progress together! The master would be very happy if he knew that we were so united and close with each other! ”
Bai Ziming didn’t even lift his head, only looking at the food on the plate in front of him, as if Yao Beibei sitting opposite him was just thin air.
Although she was extremely upset, Yao Beibei still smiled sweetly. What methods can she use to impress Bai Ziming so that he can help her cultivate?
Servitude? Bai Ziming could take care of himself much better than her, he didn’t need a maid at all!
Seduction? She wasn’t looking great, and Bai Ziming didn’t seem to care for women. He usually wouldn’t even look at a beautiful woman when he saw one.
Ordinary men love nothing more than money, women, and power, and cultivators must have resources to cultivate. Hey, that’s it, she would test Bai Ziming with these first!
Yao Beibei smiled and raised one hand to make an oath: “Brother Bai, as long as you take me to practice, I will be your little follower from now on! If you let me go east, I will never go west. Your wish is my command! ”
Indifferent.
“I will give you my monthly quota of elixir?” Yao Beibei continued to increase the price painfully. Those elixirs were magical, she couldn’t bear to give them up. Boo hoo!
Indifferent.
“In the future, no matter what was given to me, from the master or other people, I will let you choose first. You can take whatever you like, and the rest are mine, okay?” These were already Yao Beibei’s everything. If Bai Ziming still disagreed, she would have to start a drama and gain his sympathy. So she blinked her big, lifeless eyes, pinched her thighs hard, and tried to squeeze out some tears that hung on her face.
Bai Ziming still lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a low voice came out of his throat: “Okay! All of the above!”
“Deal!” Yao Beibei slaps the table and promises, gritting her teeth. If she couldn’t pass the entrance examination, the master who hated her would definitely not want her. She really wouldn’t know where to go, so it was worth it regardless of the price. It was just that she didn’t expect Bai Ziming to be so cunning. But since he promised to help her, he would never watch her fail the entrance examination. When he was with her, she could rest assured because he could be her lucky star. As long as he was with her, any difficulties can be resolved!
The night was silent, cool and bright.
The moon was bright, like a bright mirror that fell into the dark blue lake. It was summer, the flowers were gorgeous, the vegetation was green and the air was extremely fresh. There was a night wind blowing from time to time, bringing bursts of coolness and floral fragrance. Everything in the distance was slightly hazy in the night, looking somewhat mysterious.
Under them was green grass. Yao Beibei put down a futon and sat down, keeping away the moisture from the ground. Yao Beibei sat cross-legged on the futon, upright, and sensing the aura of heaven and earth with the method taught by Bai Ziming.
Because her foundation was too poor, Yao Beibei needed to practice day and night in the next three months to prepare for the entrance examination. After finishing class during the day, Bai Ziming instructed her to practice in the evening. Fortunately, Bai Ziming told her that practicing was more refreshing than sleeping one night, and she would be more energetic the next day. Otherwise she was really worried that she could not persist.
This was the foot of a barren mountain where nobody in the Qingfeng Sect claimed. It was Bai Ziming’s usual practice location. She didn’t know how he found such a great place with good fengshui.
The bleak moonlight was rippling like water, reflecting the patient face of Bai Ziming who was focused on cultivation under the moon. Yao Beibei remembered many things.
Without Bai Ziming, when Baozhimen was destroyed, Yao Beibei might have become a victim under the sword.
Without Bai Ziming, Yao Beibei may have been starved to death or eaten by beasts in the mountains in the past few months when they were in the mountains.
Even when the big red python appeared last time, it was obvious that Bai Ziming had already discovered its existence, that’s why he was so ready. With his cultivation, there was absolutely no problem if he escaped before the big red python attacked, but he chose to fight with that big red python just because he wanted to protect Yao Beibei?
Without Bai Ziming, Yao Beibei, who had only the most useless spirit base, would not have become a nominal disciple of Qingfeng Sect elder who gave her a place to stay!
Bai Ziming was wary of others, but never asked everything about Yao Beibei from the beginning. He didn’t ask who she was or where she came from, but he always stayed with her, took care of her, protected her, and never abandoned her.
Yao Beibei was so ashamed that she felt like a heartless asshole! For so long, she had been taken care of and protected by Bai Ziming. She was grumpy just because he didn’t come when she was injured at the Blue Lake last time. She blamed him for not saving her! Maybe he was practicing, maybe his identity jade was not with him! If he knew she was injured, he would definitely rescue her!
“Bai Ziming, I have chosen you! From now on, you are Yao Beibei’s best friend. I am willing to take a blow for you. If you need, Yao Beibei will definitely do whatever she could for you! Even if I couldn’t do it, I will go through frying pans and fires to make it work!” Yao Beibei vowed in her heart that she would definitely treat Bai Ziming well!
At this moment, Bai Ziming seemed to have sensed something, and turned his head: “How about now? Can you sense the qi?”
Yao Beibei, who was watching Bai Ziming intently, was taken aback by his sudden question: “No, not yet!”
“You have a five-element spirit base. The spirit base was not pure, so you have a lesser sense of qi, but you have a higher chance to sense it. The Qingfeng Sect was full of qi, and it was very quiet here. Practice according to the method I taught you. You should be able to sense qi within one month.” Bai Ziming’s voice was soft, with unusual clarity in his eyes, and extremely rare look of caring.
“Well, I will definitely practice hard! How long did it take you to sense the aura?”
“Seven days.”
Yao Beibei couldn’t help but feel amazed. No wonder everyone looked at Bai Ziming with envy. It turned out that he was really a genius!
In fact, Yao Beibei didn’t know it only took Bai Ziming a day to break through the boundaries of mortals and opened the door to cultivation when he sensed the spiritual power between heaven and earth.
When Bai Ziming saw that Yao Beibei was serious, he stopped asking questions and closed his eyes to continue his practice. Yao Beibei looked at his grim profile and suddenly thought that if she could not break through the boundaries of mortals, she would only have less than 100 years to live. Then in his life, she will only become a quick glimpse, leaving no trace?
Thinking of this question, somehow Yao Beibei was filled with sudden sadness.
Can’t worry about it now! Yao Beibei shook her head vigorously and threw out those mixed emotions. Now that the previous life was dead and this life had started, this was a great gift. Yao Beibei, you are given a chance to cultivate, you have to live this life fully without leaving any regrets!
After thinking everything through, Yao Beibei closed her eyes, calmed down, opened her heart, and sensed the qi between heaven and earth.
Gradually, Yao Beibei felt that she and the world had become one, as if she had become a blade of grass, a drop of water, a grain of soil, a piece of metal, and a ball of fire…
Suddenly, five bright colors: green, blue, black, yellow, and red, suddenly appeared in the world out of nothing. Each color was made up of countless sprites.
The green was lush, the blue was watery, the black was deep and thick, the yellow was sharp and heavy, and the red was bright and hot …
All sprites looked very friendly and enthusiastic. One after another they flew into Yao Beibei’s body, and became a part of her.
Bang! Yao Beibei felt as if something had just broken out of her body, and a very strange feeling spread inside her, making her feel extremely light-headed and comfortable, as if she had gained new strength. She opened her eyes in surprise.
It was early morning, and golden sunlight poured down, with a touch of warmth. Yao Beibei couldn’t believe that she sat still and cultivated for the whole night! And she was not sleepy at all now, really refreshed as Bai Ziming had said!
