Chapter 330 Shen Li's Training
The maids were also properly arranged in their own rooms in the inn. After everything was settled, Shen Li looked at Chu Qiu and the maids standing by and waited for orders, and whispered: "You are tired today. You don't have to keep watch. Go back to your rooms and rest early."
Chu Qiu and the maid looked at each other. Although they wanted to serve the young lady well, they did not dare to disobey the young lady's orders. After hesitating for a while, they finally nodded obediently and responded in unison: "Yes, young lady, then you should go to bed early." After that, they slowly retreated and returned to their own rooms.
After the maids left, Shen Li gently closed the door and the room suddenly became quiet.
She walked to the bed and sat down, waving her hand and taking out a slightly ancient book from the storage bag. On the cover were written a few large words - "The First Chapter of the Manual of Immortal Cultivation: Drawing Qi into the Body".
Shen Li gently stroked the cover of the book, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, and then slowly opened the book.
The book opens with the following passage: "The path to immortality begins with drawing in the energy. The human body is like a microcosm of the universe, with every pore serving as a channel through which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can flow. However, to draw this energy into the body, one must first calm the mind and focus, eliminating distracting thoughts and emptying the body and mind, like a clear lake, without ripples."
Shen Li frowned slightly, thinking to himself that "calming the mind and concentrating" is easier said than done.
She continued reading, and the book continued, "Find a quiet place, sit cross-legged, and let your hands hang naturally on your knees. You can also make a mudra, the method of which depends on your heart, to help calm your mind. Close your eyes and look inward, as if searching for a glimmer of light in the darkness. This glimmer is your own spiritual perception."
Shen Li followed the instructions in the book and sat cross-legged on the bed, folded her hands and placed them lightly on her knees, then slowly closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind of distracting thoughts.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, all the things that happened during the day flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope, Su Ran's nervous expression, Nangong Qi's fiery gaze... She shook her head gently, took a deep breath, and tried to concentrate.
After a long while, she calmed down a little and continued reading.
The book goes on to describe: "Once spiritual perception begins to emerge, try to sense the spiritual energy around you. Spiritual energy is invisible and intangible, yet it is lively and agile, like a spring breeze that gently caresses all things. You need to use your spiritual perception to slowly guide it, allowing it to flow into your body through your pores. At first, it may be as fine as a strand of hair. Don't be impatient; proceed step by step."
Shen Li calmed down and tried to feel the spiritual energy around her. She carefully experienced the feeling described in the book, as if the air around her had become different, and there was a subtle breath flowing gently.
She carefully used the little spiritual sense she had just found to touch it, slowly guiding it, trying to let the faint breath enter her body.
At this time, Bai Fan, who was quietly sitting on Shen Li's wrist, also keenly sensed the fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual energy.
Shen Li's practice caused the spiritual energy to slowly gather, and some of this spiritual energy actually seeped into Bai Fan's body.
Bai Fan felt a sense of comfort all over his body. The snake body that had originally turned into a jade bracelet actually emitted a lustrous luster unconsciously, as if it was greedily absorbing this rare spiritual nourishment.
Shen Li was immersed in this wonderful world of cultivating immortals, forgetting the passage of time. She was determined to explore the secret of drawing Qi into the body and take the first step in starting this mysterious journey of cultivating immortals.
Shen Li followed the method recorded in the "First Chapter of the Manual of Immortal Cultivation: Drawing Qi into the Body" and sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating for the entire night.
That night, she was immersed in a wonderful state, feeling and exploring the so-called way of cultivating immortality with her whole body and soul.
As time slowly passed, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have touched the threshold of cultivating immortals, as if there was an invisible door looming in front of her, waiting for her to take another step forward, and she would be able to truly step into the mysterious world of cultivating immortals.
However, all of this seemed so mysterious and illusory that it was difficult for her to grasp it accurately.
When she slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window, she found that the sky was already slightly white, and the dawn light was quietly pouring into the house through the gaps in the window.
Shen Li gently moved her stiff body, then silently took out a small and exquisite bottle from her arms, which contained spiritual spring water.
She pulled out the cork, brought the bottle mouth close to her mouth, gently tilted her head back, and took a small sip of the spiritual spring water.
In an instant, a cool and sweet feeling spread from her throat to her whole body. She immediately felt a lot more energetic, and her originally confused mind became clearer.
In fact, after practicing all night, Shen Li did not feel particularly tired. After all, she seemed not to have really entered that high-intensity practice state.
But she knew in her heart that she still had to go to Xiqi Palace today, and this journey would be full of unknowns and variables. In order to be able to deal with various possible situations in the best condition, it was extremely necessary to keep herself alert at all times.
Therefore, this spiritual spring water is like a shot of adrenaline for her at this moment, making her more confident to face the upcoming challenges.
Shen Li stood up, walked to the window, gently pushed it open, and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
However, at this moment, she secretly guessed that the spiritual energy in this world seemed to be quite thin, which might bring considerable obstacles to her path of cultivating immortals. Perhaps this world was not as suitable for cultivating immortals as she had imagined, but a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. Now that she had embarked on this journey, she would never give up easily.
