C8 The Bitter Cultivation Began

After getting the heart sutra, Guxing immediately started running according to what Xiaoyue had said. In an instant, the sound of the Dao was heard in his mind, as if there were millions of people chanting the sutra in unison. It was like a great bell that shook one's mind, waiting for him to circulate the mantra once. Guxing felt that the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be circulating faster and flowing towards his dantian at a rapid speed. His dantian seemed to have become a huge funnel. He absorbed all the spiritual energy in an instant. Once the spiritual energy entered his body, Guxing immediately felt his whole body cool down. It was indescribably comfortable. It was as if his entire body was filled with energy, making him so comfortable that he almost moaned.

Xiao Yue was delighted when she saw this. She knew that she had already succeeded by more than half. She quickly warned Guxing to gather the spiritual energy and circulate it in his meridians. When she found that there was no blockage in Guxing's meridians, she smiled and walked to the side without saying anything.

Therefore, Guxing continuously guided the absorbed spiritual energy to circulate in his meridians, like a child who had obtained a toy. He enjoyed it over and over again until all the spiritual energy he inhaled turned into Genuine Qi and merged into his meridians. Only then did he open his eyes with a reluctance to part.

It's so comfortable! After stretching lazily, Guxing was surprised to find that his body, which had been cultivating for the whole night, did not feel sleepy at all. Instead, he became more energetic. Moreover, his eyesight and hearing had also improved significantly. It was truly amazing.

It was already dawn. There was no trace of Xiao Yue on Guxing's left and right. It seemed that he had stayed up all night and hid in the sword to rest. With this in mind, not only did Guxing feel guilty, but he also carefully placed the sword on the mountain rock beside him. Only then did he slowly walk out of the cave.

After exiting the cave, Guxing greedily sucked in a mouthful of fresh air from the outside. He felt indescribably refreshed, and with a thought, He recalled that the old man often used a long fist when he was around. Guxing used his memory to restore it. Although the punches were not exactly different, they were mixed with some weak inner energy. For a moment, the punch was full of vigor. It was not like a fancy punch or a fancy kick.

Guxing! At this moment, Xiao Yue walked out of the cave step by step.

[Hmm?] Guxing responded. What's the matter?

He saw Xiaoyue with her hands behind her back. She said lightly, [What do you think of your talent?]

Guxing lowered his head and thought for a while. I'm not sure.

Alright, I'll tell you. Compared to ordinary people, your talent is already considered good, but. . . Those so-called geniuses are quite a distance away.

Xiao Yue said in a cold voice: [Let me ask you again, are you willing to be subservient to others for the rest of your life, subservient to them, subservient and subservient?]

[Of course not. ] Hearing this, Guxing's gaze unconsciously became fierce.

[Then what should you do?] Xiao Yue asked again.

Guxing gritted his teeth and said: Cultivate, don't waste a second. Since my talent is not as good as theirs, then I will spend a hundred times more time than them.

There's no lack of people with great perseverance among those people. How can you compete with others?

Xiao Yue coldly snorted. [They were born with amazing talent. With the help of their family masters, they have all kinds of resources to enjoy. It can be said that they occupy the right time, the right place, and the right people. Can you compete with them?]

[I. . . ] Guxing did not say anything else. He knew that although Xiao Yue's words were a bit unpleasant, they were true and insincere. His talent was already inferior to hers, and now, she had left him far behind in terms of resources, making it hard for him to catch up with her.

[I don't know. ]

Guxing was silent for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. [Ms Yue, what should I do?]

Xiao Yue immediately revealed a smile of success. There is a way, but I'm afraid you won't suffer.

[If you don't suffer now, you will become a servant in the future. ] Ms Yue, tell me which one I choose. ] Guxing curled his lips and said.

[At least you know what's good for you!]

Xiao Yue instantly snorted and said with a smile: [Go, get me some stones. ]

[Stones?] Although Guxing didn't know what this sword spirit sister wanted stones for, he didn't dare neglect her actions. The only thing that the mountain did not lack was the stone. After a while, Guxing returned with a full load.

[They are all here. ]

Guxing picked a few bigger stones and asked curiously: [What should we do next?]

Xiao Yue nodded her head in satisfaction when she saw how obedient Guxing was. Alright, go and pick two more vines.

When Guxing brought the vines over, Xiao Yue drew her sword and cut one of the vines into two. She said lightly: [Take it, tie the stone to your legs. ]

Guxing took the vine that was in half with a confused look on his face. [What the hell is going on?]

However, he didn't dare neglect it. After a while, he tied stones on both his legs.

[How do you feel?] Xiao Yue asked with a smile.

Guxing tried to walk a few steps and felt that his steps were extremely heavy. He then honestly said, [Heavy!]

Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh. From now on, I want you to tie these two stones to eat and sleep. You can't undo them without my permission. Can you do it?]

Guxing was slightly stunned. He raised his head and said firmly, As long as it's for the sake of cultivation, you can make fun of me however you want.

This is not making fun of you. Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at him. One look: You'll understand later.

[Now. . . I declare that the bitter cultivation has officially begun!]

. . .

Under the scorching sun, a young man was walking forward with great difficulty with his upper body. Behind the young man was a stone.

Under such weather, the young man was already drenched in sweat. His entire body was wet as if he had just been fished out from the water. His originally neat hair had now become a lock stuck to his face.

The vicious sunlight tanned the youth's skin, causing him to look less childish. The taut vines grinded blood stains on the youth's shoulders and legs, like small snakes crisscrossing the youth's body. Due to excessive force, the veins on the youth's body were exposed, adding a bit of ferociousness to him.

With a bang, the vine on the youth's shoulder snapped, and at the same time, the youth's entire body fell forward uncontrollably.

[Get up!]

A cold and emotionless voice sounded behind the young man. He saw a beautiful woman walking over with a vine in her hand. The woman's expression was solemn. Her expression was as cold as a piece of ice that would never melt even if it was ten thousand years old.

It was Xiao Yue, but she was not as gentle as usual. Her gaze was so cold that no one dared to look at her directly.

[Take it, come again!]

Guxing was lying on the ground and gasping for breath. The severe exhaustion of his physical strength made him feel dizzy. After hearing Xiao Yue's voice, he gritted his teeth and got up.

Today was the third day of his hard work. In these three days, Xiao Yue seemed to have changed into another person. She was cold and cruel, and she became more and more harsh on Guxing. She did not treat him as a person at all.

Under her request, not only was Guxing tied up with a rock on both his legs, he was also dragging a huge rock that was half the height of a person behind him. Under this kind of cruel training, Guxing could clearly feel that his Genuine Qi was advancing rapidly. This motivated him to persist on time and time again.

This change in him was also seen by Xiao Yue, which made her feel a trace of comfort as she steeled her heart.

[Don't stop!]

[Get up, if you don't want to be a servant, get up!]

[Only 200 meters, are you trash!]

. . .

A mere two hundred meters, Guxing felt as if he had walked for a hundred years. The vines had already worn through his shoulder, but he did not know at all. When he discovered it, the blood had also condensed into a scab. He had wanted to give up several times, but Xiao Yue's words always stomped on his self-esteem. It forced him to stand up again and again and walk forward.

Unknowingly, the sky was almost dark. The moon on the mountain came out especially early, mixed with bits of starlight emitting a holy radiance. Guxing had finally carried the heavy load and walked through the whole process, but he did not have any extra strength left. He fell to the ground like mud, and Xiaoyue finally stopped struggling. She looked at Guxing, who had collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. She said indifferently, If you think this is the limit. . . The path of the strong has always been full of obstacles. No one knows how strong they are, just like how you will never know which second you will be surpassed by your opponent. This kind of hesitation towards the future forced you to keep walking, because you could only keep walking. You would never be defeated, so. . . You have to remember, there are no so-called strong people in this world. . . Powerhouses are only people who walk further and further on this path.

Xiao Yue's words were like a hammer pounding into Guxing's heart. He laid on the ground and repeatedly muttered Xiao Yue's words about strong people. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Then, he turned around and jumped up.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as I'm still alive, I have to continue!

As he spoke, he roared loudly, but once again carried the rattan on his back. Again!

When Xiao Yue saw this scene, she immediately smiled in relief. She knew that young men had never lacked perseverance. The only thing they lacked was oppression. However, this motivation was obviously not something others could give. However, it was still early, wasn't it?

Under the moonlight, the young girl looked at the youth who was silently cultivating not far away. With a gentle smile, her beauty was enough to topple cities.
