Chapter 170 Guarding
Ling Cang didn't expect her to be so fast!
In less than half an hour, he came back with the prepared medicine package.
The sun was rising, and a cool breeze was blowing in the bamboo forest. Ling Cang was lying in the yard, with his hot face, belly and four paws pressed tightly against the glazed ground, trying his best to feel the coolness from the earth.
"You didn't have a good foundation when you were a child. This soup can really transform you, but it's really painful. Are you sure you want to use it?"
Thinking of what Uncle Qingfeng had said to her, Wei Wenxin was a little hesitant.
If it can't hold on, this Bai Ze will most likely be ruined.
This matter is of great importance, and she cannot make a decision for Ling Cang.
Ling Cang raised her head with difficulty and saw Wei Wenxin squatting in front of her and taking out a large jade box.
There are all kinds of spiritual materials inside, shining with spiritual light, and their grades are not low. Most of them are good things that cannot be bought on the market and need to be exchanged for contribution points.
I didn't expect her to be so generous and straightforward.
Obviously penniless...
I don’t know where I borrowed it from.
Ling Cang was so moved that he wanted to cry.
The official transformation had already begun a whole day, and it was now aching all over.
I wanted to back out, but after gritting my teeth, I nodded vigorously.
No matter how busy Wei Wenxin was, he would practice at night, and his daily sword practice used up all his spare time.
Ling Cang has been in bond with her for such a long time, but he has never seen her have fun for even a single day. She even seldom lies down to have a good sleep.
It's really stressful to form a bond with such a person.
A spiritual beast has only a few opportunities to transform in its lifetime. It has nothing to do with cultivation, but it can improve its qualifications and physical fitness. Once missed, there is no going back.
It has been living a life of luxury all these years and has fallen behind a lot. If it doesn't seize the opportunity to become stronger, it and Wei Wenxin will definitely drift further and further apart.
Most other spirit beasts are stupid and won't think about such long-term things, but Bai Ze is famous for being intelligent, and it is its instinct to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
When you are young, you lack experience and may be deceived for a while, but when the critical moment comes, your mind is extremely clear.
It knew it would be painful and that there were risks, but it still made up its mind.
Seeing this, Wei Wenxin didn't hesitate at all and directly dug a pond in the yard.
Throw the medicine bag in, add the spiritual spring water, and let the heavenly fire boil it slowly.
The medicine was bubbling, and its fragrance was locked by the formation. Even if one got very close, one could still only smell a faint hint of it.
Ling Cang lay on the edge of the pool, his heart seeming to be rumbling.
Wei Wenxin, in a fiery red outfit with a chilly expression, stood beside it, processing the spiritual materials attentively according to the recipe. When the time was up, he immediately threw Ling Cang in.
Ling Cang was terrified, and his sharp toenails bounced off the tender pink paw pads, scratching the protective shield and making a "crunching" sound.
Wei Wenxin did not show any mercy and directly pushed it into the water.
"Ow—"
With a wild roar, Ling Cang almost jumped up, but Wei Wenxin strengthened the formation with an expressionless face.
"Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best among beasts. Do you want to be looked at with new eyes? Do you want to return to the fairyland one day in all glory and tell everyone what an excellent Bai Ze you are? Even in a place with scarcer resources, you can still grow up to be as good as your brothers and sisters, or even better! Just think about it! Just think about that future!"
"Ow~"
Ling Cang was about to faint from the pain, but she aroused his courage and he gritted his teeth and held on!
"Persistence is victory! Once you get through it, you will meet a brand new self!"
"Ouch~~"
Ling Cang was in so much pain that he could no longer maintain his human form.
Without those things covering it up, Wei Wenxin finally saw what it looked like now.
The hair on its body fell off in patches, revealing its pink flesh. The hair on its two wings had fallen off completely, making it look like two big, fat chicken wings.
Especially the horn on its head, which had many cracks.
It’s hard to imagine how painful it must be now, such a sensitive place. Normally, I would scream for a long time when I touched it.
Even if the spirit beast does not take the opportunity to purify its bloodline, it will still experience unimaginable pain during its transformation period.
Before this, Ling Cang actually planned to hide in the orchard and slowly get through it.
Wei Wenxin felt both distressed and angry.
After thinking about it, I realized that I didn't give it enough confidence and could only sigh.
The essences of various spiritual materials enter Ling Cang's body through the skin, constantly promoting its transformation.
Fascia, flesh, bones...
Over the next month, the solution will be changed three times, with only short breaks in between.
It either attains nirvana in suffering or fails in suffering.
Wei Wenxin did not dare to take it lightly and waited by the side.
Ling Cang rolled in the pool, creating waves and blurring the protective array. The gap in cultivation was there, and the seemingly transparent, thin layer of protective shield was much more durable than expected.
Wei Wenxin only needs to do some daily maintenance and it won’t open.
The dark brown liquid was stirred by it, churning continuously, and a thick layer of foam was stirred up on the water surface, mixed with fallen feathers and hair.
As its skin and flesh split, bright red blood flowed into the medicine, making the medicine even more unsightly.
I don't know if I'm numb from the pain.
Ling Cang floated on the water, with his eyes closed, without moving.
Wei Wenxin is an individual cultivator, and laying the foundation is no easier than this.
Knowing that feeling, I began to tell it about my past.
"On the day of my full moon banquet, the Skyfire Spirit descended from the sky and killed my entire Wei family, including relatives and friends, a total of more than 1,300 people, and I was forced into a contract by the Skyfire Spirit."
Ling Cang felt as if he was in a daze. When he heard her talking, he tried hard to wake up a little. He pricked up his ears and listened to her talk about the past, but he couldn't respond even a word.
"My master brought me back to the sect, and I have lived a carefree life on Snow Peak since I can remember. Until I learned to walk and left my master's peak for the first time..."
Wei Wenxin never told anyone about those things.
Others can only look at her growth process from other perspectives.
This was the first time that other living beings had heard her mention it on her own initiative.
But Ling Cang didn't know this.
The saying "At that time I thought it was normal" probably means this.
"I have been gifted since I was young and have a photographic memory. My master didn't know this at first and always held me in his arms when he read books. Later, he found that I could guess the meaning of some words just by summarizing the rules, so my master began to teach me to recognize words. Sometimes he was too busy and sent me to my master's grandfather, who would hold me in his arms and give me various sword manuals to teach me.
“When I was over two years old, I could refer to the map and navigate freely in the sect.
“Once, I climbed onto the back of a crane, which took me to Lotus Peak.
"It was the first time for me to meet so many children. Although they were much older than me, they all liked me very much. They played with me and took me to class."
Wei Wenxin recalled the past.
She is good-looking and smart, and can learn anything quickly.
"At first, everyone liked me, but then everyone got jealous of me. After a while, all kinds of rumors started to spread, saying that I was a monster and that I should be suppressed at the bottom of the Cliff of Repentance..."
Human jealousy is really terrible.
She used to be very afraid of this, but it was her master and grandmaster who gave her enough confidence to overcome the unbearable reality.
"There was a boy who lived on the same street as ours. Maybe when he went home, he heard his family talking about me, and then everyone knew that I was a disaster star. When I was very young, I killed all my relatives and also implicated many relatives and friends who were on good terms with our Wei family.
“It was not until I was thirteen that I realized that my master had been helping the families of those people and ensuring that they had enough food and clothing.
"When I was three years old, I started practicing Qi and went to Lotus Peak to take classes. My master went into seclusion to advance to the Spiritual Transformation stage. From then on, I followed my master. It was not until a few years later, when I graduated from Lotus Peak and entered the Yixing Mountains for further study, that my master came out of seclusion.
"When I first went to the academy, I encountered severe exclusion. No one talked to me, no one teamed up with me for training, they threw bugs into my food box, sprinkled ink on my head, and used golden needles to poke my toes and fingers... They were all a few years older than me and had higher cultivation than me. I couldn't beat them, and I didn't want my master to be angry, so I hid in the sword tomb and cried.
"Not long after, my master found out about this and started picking me up from school on time. I found that those who bullied me didn't even dare to breathe too loudly in front of my master.
"Since then, I haven't cried. Because I don't have the energy or time. I put all my energy and time into cultivation.
"I don't sleep when others sleep, I don't rest when others rest, and I never go to experience life when others go."
Because the training of young disciples is often more like an autumn or spring outing.
She felt it was a waste of time.
“Not only am I a sword cultivator, I also practice a body-refining technique, which was specially requested from the ancestors in the upper realm during the ancestral sacrifice by my master. It is completely suitable for my situation.
"Whenever I had a hard time, I would think of those faces that made me suffer. It only took me three years to beat up those who bullied me. Then, they slowly disappeared from my life."
As her cultivation became more and more advanced, and her status became higher and higher, those who bullied her in the past were no longer worthy of even polishing her shoes, and could only kneel silently at the end when they met her.
If the life of the eldest sister were written into a storybook, it would definitely be a passionate and exciting story.
Everyone knows this.
But no one knows how much pain she has gone through to get to where she is today.
"I like to practice swordplay on summer nights filled with the sound of insects, which helps me become more focused. And on winter days covered in snow, I like to practice swordplay on thick snow. If I fall into it, I won't get hurt, but it will make my reaction speed extremely fast. Ling Cang, do you know how to walk on snow without leaving any traces? In winter, I will teach you how to do this without using spiritual power."
Ling Cang transformed into its original form, with a shoulder height of at least ten feet and a body length of more than three feet. Wei Wenxin looked so small in front of it.
But in Ling Cang's eyes, her figure was so huge.
People only thought that her strongest point was her swordsmanship, but few knew that her strongest point was her heart and her beliefs.
Oh, this indestructible woman.
It thought, will it become like this one day?
But it really can't do that now.
Oooooh, it really hurts!
Sometimes I have an illusion that the characters I write about are really living in a certain dimension? Because they are really real. I don’t know if my brushstrokes can perfectly express my inner ideas. Every person lives vividly in my heart. There is a big world in my heart. What a romantic profession!
