Ruyi returned to Qingfei Small Courtyard and chatted with everyone for a while. After everyone fell asleep, she couldn't wait to try the cultivation method given by Painted Skin Ghost Suyi.
She blew out the candle and sat cross-legged on the stone table in the courtyard. She held her breath and listened intently, listening to the whispers of heaven and earth and the murmurings of all things.
She felt the excitement from the silence - the melodious cry of the nightingale, the trembling of autumn moth wings, the falling of withered leaves...
The candlelight disappeared, and the surroundings became dark and dark, but as Ruyi concentrated her energy, she slowly felt that the surroundings were getting brighter and brighter. The haloed cold moon and dots of stars in the sky reflected infinite light, so bright that she almost opened her eyes.
Don't open your eyes.
Meditate, meditate.
She closed her eyes and paused her breathing.
After just a short while, the bustle of the night fell into silence again. This time it was even more complete, and she could hear nothing else except her heartbeat.
She spread her hands, raised her head, and tried to become one with nature, and like a person who was about to die of thirst, she struggled to suck the essence of the stars and moon from nothingness.
After repeating these movements several times, Ruyi felt something adsorbed on her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw specks of bright silver dust scattered all over her body. That was Yuehua's essence.
After the silver flakes fell, they were quickly absorbed into Ruyi's body. Ruyi suddenly felt that the demon power in her body resonated with these moon essences, stirring and high-spirited, as if they were singing a nocturne together.
Ruyi knew in her heart that this was a good sign. Her demonic power was active and sensitive. Since there was spiritual water from the Demon Trial Pond in her body, her ability to absorb essence was far greater than that of other demons.
If you practice like this, you will be able to achieve some success over time.
Practicing requires full concentration, so it is easy to feel tired.
When it was almost the fourth watch, Ruyi stood up, planning to take a rest before continuing. She jumped off the table, stretched her arms and legs, and suddenly she saw a dark figure coming from the room where Snow Girl Dalan lived.
The house slipped out.
Ruyi took a closer look and saw that the person who came out was Chang Yi.
The light was very dim, and Chang Yi's gait was swaying, as if she was drunk. She passed by Ruyi as if she hadn't seen Ruyi at all, and didn't even say hello.
Ruyi didn't pay attention, thinking that the child probably held his urine and got up in a daze to go to the latrine. When she was a child, she often went to the latrine in the middle of the night with her eyes closed.
Unexpectedly, Changyi didn't go to the latrine at all, but turned around and went to the kitchen.
Ruyi guessed that Changyi was hungry, so she ignored it and continued to sit back on the stone table and began to absorb the essence of the stars and moon. Because she was so deep in concentration, it was already morning when she opened her eyes again, and she didn't know when Changyi went back.
Su Yi said that the demon practice should be done at night and should not be continued after sunrise. Ruyi stopped and went back to the house to catch up on her sleep. At noon, Dalan came into the house and called her to eat.
Ruyi is often out of the courtyard these days, often going to the cave to discuss demon power with Suyi, so the task of cooking has already fallen to Dalan. Everyone was looking forward to Xue Nu's cooking skills, but Xue Nu is afraid of the heat and can't get close.
There was a fire in the stove, and it happened that Da Lan had never cooked rice before and felt it was fresh, so he patted his chest and took it all in.
Dalan’s cooking style...how to put it, at best it’s “very rough”, at worst it’s “extremely unpalatable”. But she is very attentive to three meals a day, busy here and there every day,
From preparing the ingredients to chopping vegetables and cooking, she did it all by herself. It was indeed hard work, but the taste of the cooking was really unsatisfactory.
