Chapter 7

Jin Lin glanced at Yu Duxiu: "Swallow the lightning liquid into your stomach, then place the scale on your third eye at the center of your brow."

Yu Duxiu, upon hearing this, opened the jade bottle and swallowed the purple liquid without hesitation.

"Boom" In the midst of the darkness, Yu Duxiu seemed to hear a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth. In a daze, a bolt of lightning seemed to streak across the sky, splitting the heavens and the earth.

His mouth tingled, and then his entire body went limp in an instant. The next moment, a sharp pain pierced his third eye, and countless pieces of information flowed through his mind, with an endless number of characters and symbols dancing in his head.

The scale on the tip of Yu Duxiu's finger turned to ash and dissipated into the void. Jin Lin looked at Yu Duxiu, saying nothing, and just sat there quietly.

Before long, Yu Duxiu's entire body was dyed purple, and the purple light gradually spread, radiating outward. The next moment, Jin Lin waved his hand, cutting off this part of the void.

A profound and mysterious spell naturally appeared in Yu Duxiu's mind, impossible to forget. A wave of heat spread through his body, bringing a sense of comfort.

The next moment, Jin Lin placed a finger on Yu Duxiu's third eye. At this moment, Yu Duxiu's concentration was unprecedentedly focused. He seemed to see his internal organs and the countless meridians within his body.

"Boom" Subconsciously, he recalled the Supreme Dragon Transformation Technique, and the purple light that continuously moved within his body spread out, following a mysterious path through his meridians.

The deficiencies in his body were gradually filled, and his foundation became increasingly solid.

After an unknown amount of time, the power reached his third eye, instantly merging with his consciousness. Yu Duxiu woke up from his daze.

Jin Lin retracted his finger and looked at Yu Duxiu: "It's done. Throughout history, practitioners first enter a meditative state, then generate a light of wisdom in stillness, examine their entire body, and naturally move their blood and qi, giving birth to the first thread of power. You, however, have taken the reverse path, looking down from a high place, reversing the process. You have power now, but your meditative skills are not yet sufficient. In the future, with the guidance of this thread of power, you can enter a meditative state more easily, and over time, you can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, strengthen your power, and form a true seed of power, embarking on the path of the Dao."

Yu Duxiu stretched his hands, feeling an unprecedented sense of well-being, his entire body warm.

"Is this the beginning of the path of cultivation?" His words seemed to carry a hint of disbelief.

Jin Lin couldn't help but deflate him: "This is just a half-step onto the path. With my help, your foundation is not yet stable. Maintain a calm mind and continuously refine your meditative skills. When your meditative skills are perfected, you will truly have embarked on the path of cultivation."

After saying this, Jin Lin yawned: "I just went through a lightning tribulation, and my foundation needs to be stabilized. You figure it out on your own."

Saying this, he yawned again and walked into the house, falling asleep immediately.

Yu Duxiu looked at the bright moon in the sky, which now seemed to have an indescribable flavor in his eyes.

"Meditation is sitting in meditation, but how do I generate a light of wisdom in stillness, then perform internal observation and move the power?" Yu Duxiu was at a loss, only able to stare blankly at the moon in the sky, as if seeing another world, with familiar faces.

His eyes closed involuntarily, and Yu Duxiu's mind entered a strange state.

"Yu Duxiu, I'm giving you one more chance. Do you choose me or your path?" A clear and beautiful face appeared in Yu Duxiu's mind.

Under the moonlight, Yu Duxiu hugged himself, curling into a ball.

Looking at the clear and beautiful face, Yu Duxiu sighed softly, lowered his head, and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon.

Time passed, and the clear and beautiful girl on the opposite side showed a look of disappointment: "We've been together since college, and the ups and downs we've experienced are beyond words. But look, our classmates who graduated with us have already started families and careers, but what about you? You are still idle, buried in Daoist texts. Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought about our future?"

The girl slammed the cup on the table and picked up her bag, turning to leave: "If you can't give up your Daoist texts, then give me up."

Yu Duxiu slowly raised his head, watching the girl walk out the door, his heart suddenly aching, his nails digging into his palms: "Go, it's better for you to go. Staying with me would just waste your precious youth."

As he spoke, Yu Duxiu suddenly stood up: "No!"

"Screech" The sound of tires screeching against the ground was piercing.

"Bang" The girl, like a rag doll thrown into the air, flew away.

"Xiao Xiao~~~" Yu Duxiu pushed the table and ran out.

Blood, the shocking red blood, entered Yu Duxiu's eyes, turning the white shirt into a blood-red one. The clear and beautiful face was pale.

"Come to, come to, if you come to, I'll go with you to fight, if you come to, I'll never go to any Daoist temple again, come to" Yu Duxiu held the girl, his chest stained with blood, his face filled with sorrow, tears streaming down.

The girl opened her eyes slightly, a pale smile on her lips, her blood-stained hand struggling to lift, reaching for the familiar face, but at this moment, the hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift it.

"Look, look, you, you are so good, I, I am not, not going to make it" the girl's eyes looked at Yu Duxiu.

"You will be fine, you will definitely be fine" tears streamed down Yu Duxiu's eyes, constantly falling on the girl's face.

"Don't, don't cry, you don't have to lie to me, I, I know I am not going to make it, I see, I see the stars in the sky, the sky full of stars, so beautiful" the girl's smile was tinged with a touch of melancholy.

"Xiao Xiao" Yu Duxiu could only hold the girl and cry helplessly.

"Old people say, seeing stars in the daytime is a sign of death. After I go, you must take good care of yourself, don't get lost in the empty Daoist teachings, strive for a career, marry a beautiful girl, and live a happy life for me. Just, I hope that when you have a new partner, don't forget to water the hibiscus I love, remember that it was the day you pursued me, the day we planted it together. Time flies, it's been eight years. Unfortunately, I can't be with you for the rest of my life. Don't forget the hibiscus." After saying this, the girl closed her eyes and died.

"Xiao Xiao" At that moment, Yu Duxiu was like a lone wolf howling under the moon, his voice filled with sorrow and helplessness.

"Why is it like this, why is it such an outcome? I am not willing, I am not willing. Xiao Xiao, don't go, don't go." Yu Duxiu fainted, and when he woke up, he was already in the hospital, but it was too late, and she had died.

From that day on, Yu Duxiu became even more engrossed in Daoist texts, reading countless Daoist texts, but he never found his own path.

"The legends of Daoism must be true. If I can find the legendary immortal techniques, I can surely bring Xiao Xiao back to life, making her live again." Yu Duxiu looked at the hibiscus in front of him, muttering to himself.

The continuous flow of qi in his dantian was his motivation. If it weren't for the accidental birth of qi, Yu Duxiu wouldn't have been so engrossed in the vague Daoist teachings.

Outside, Yu Duxiu's body was bathed in moonlight, his body curled up, hugging himself like a cold infant, only by curling up could he feel a little warmth.

Infinite moonlight fell, adding a touch of melancholy to the courtyard.
