Chapter 278 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 5
The waterfall plunges straight down from a great height, its waters surging powerfully. As the water crashes against the strange rocks, it instantly bursts into thousands of droplets. Even before you get close, you can already hear the deafening sound.
When Ji Chaoxi saw the waterfall, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. She couldn't help but stagger a few steps.
"Senior brother... are you meditating here?"
What kind of sect is this Heavenly Absolute Sect? Why is their training so inhumane?
Liuli quickly helped her up: "Miss, I believe you."
Ji Chaoxi looked utterly hopeless, but she didn't believe in herself!
Could it be that she actually learned something at the Tianjue Sect?
Wen Shubai said gently, "Junior Sister, meditation is about emptiness. In a moment, sit on the shallow beach at the edge of the waterfall, close your eyes, and try to merge with it."
As Wen Shubai spoke, he was about to walk into the waterfall to demonstrate for Ji Chaoxi.
Ji Chaoxi asked with a serious expression, "Senior Brother, did the Second Elder really not tell you anything? Think again, something rather vague, could it be that you forgot something?"
Ji Chaoxi offered a tactful reminder.
Seeing Ji Chaoxi so serious, Wen Shubai also became serious. He thought for a moment and said, "The Second Elder said that Junior Sister is kind-hearted, proficient in swimming, and has saved fifty people who fell into the water."
He looked at Ji Chaoxi gently: "This is something every disciple of the Tianjue Sect needs to learn from Junior Sister."
Liuli, standing beside her, was incredibly excited: "Miss, why did you do such a good deed without telling me!"
Liuli's eyes reddened with emotion; her young lady was truly the kindest and most virtuous person in the world.
She was rescued from those villains by the young lady.
Ji Chaoxi laughed out loud, Wen Shubai's eyes were also smiling, and Liuli was overjoyed.
Ji Chaoxi: ...
Her smile vanished instantly, and Wen Shubai was still somewhat taken aback by Ji Chaoxi's rapid change of expression.
"Liuli, if I'm gone, take my inheritance and leave the Heavenly Annihilation Sect!"
Ji Chaoxi went with a death wish.
Liuli shook her head seriously: "How could you not be here, Miss? You're going to ascend to immortality!"
Ji Chaoxi laughed again; she really had no other choice.
Wen Shubai looked at the deep bond between the master and servant and felt a pang of emotion.
He led Ji Chaoxi into the waterfall.
"Junior sister, feel the vibration of the water hitting the stone wall, don't resist."
Wen Shubai spoke gently, sitting on the large rock in the middle of the waterfall, and even took the time to keep an eye on Ji Chaoxi, who was sitting on the shallows.
Ji Chaoxi imitated Wen Shubai and sat cross-legged on the slippery rock.
Sitting in meditation under the waterfall wasn't as scary as she had imagined. She closed her eyes and her mind started to wander.
The eldest disciple just said she's better at horse stance than the other disciples. If she dares to meditate under the waterfall again, will she one day actually develop dual spiritual roots...?
She'll be able to fly on a sword then; actually, cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness isn't so bad.
The mist grew thicker and thicker, and the sound of the waterfall kept ringing in Ji Chaoxi's ears. Because she was too tired from practicing the horse stance, Ji Chaoxi suddenly felt her eyelids getting heavy when she was sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
What's going on? Has she entered a state of flow...?
Just as Ji Chaoxi was completely asleep, a few water droplets suddenly hit the tip of her nose, and she woke up with a start.
What flow state? She's just sleepy!
Upon waking up, her previous state of mind was completely disrupted. The waterfall kept pounding on her, causing her to stagger. The current was so strong that she had no time to react and fell directly into the water.
The next second, her collar was grabbed.
She had only choked on a few mouthfuls of water when Wen Shubai pulled her out of the water and took her directly back to the grass nearby.
Wen Shubai half-squatted down, looked at her red eyes, and handed her a clean handkerchief: "Junior Sister..."
His words brought tears to Ji Chaoxi's eyes.
Wen Shubai hesitated for a moment, then praised, "Junior Sister's swimming skills are indeed excellent, and she is also very brave. She actually managed to stay under the waterfall for so long."
Ji Chaoxi sullenly wiped the water off her face.
"Junior Sister persisted for a full quarter of an hour. Her composure far surpasses that of other newly initiated disciples," Wen Shubai said softly.
Liuli was incredibly excited: "Miss!"
He's a complete genius.
Ji Chaoxi paused for a moment, but remained silent.
Wen Shubai's eyes held a hint of admiration: "The most taboo thing in the path of cultivation is rigidity, but Junior Sister was able to fall asleep while meditating under the waterfall, which means she has reached a state of unity between body and mind."
Ji Chaoxi glanced at Wen Shubai. Was what her senior brother said true or false? He seemed very serious.
Her face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "So that's how it is, Senior Brother. I just felt a void in my heart. Does that mean I have a talent?"
Ji Chaoxi looked at Wen Shubai expectantly.
Actually, she didn't think she had any talent before.
But Liuli and others say she has talent. Could it be that she was too insecure before?
Wen Shubai paused for a moment, then nodded: "Junior Sister is indeed talented."
Ji Chaoxi looked excitedly at Liuli beside her, and Liuli nodded vigorously.
Really!
After training, Ji Chaoxi and Liuli ran to the back mountain.
Many disciples of the Tianjue Sect have practiced fasting, and there is also a vegetarian hall for new disciples, but it only serves things like spiritual spring porridge.
Liuli was very well-informed and quickly found out that there was a Drunken Immortal Restaurant at the foot of the mountain, and that there were servants who would deliver food boxes to the mountain at night.
Ji Chaoxi, being wealthy and generous, immediately purchased an annual membership.
Just as the two were waiting for the servant, the Second Elder also appeared, and the three of them stared at each other in disbelief.
"Second Elder." Ji Chaoxi greeted him hesitantly, she had many questions she wanted to ask him.
The second elder also realized that he wanted to run away now.
Fortunately, just then, the servants from Zuixianlou arrived, panting heavily.
Ji Chaoxi asked, puzzled, "Second Elder, you eat too. Don't you practice fasting?"
The Second Elder's face stiffened, and he patted his chest: "This isn't about eating; this is about using my taste buds to experience the greed, anger, and ignorance of the mortal world. This is the highest realm of cultivation!"
Ji Chaoxi looked at him with admiration.
As expected of an elder, he can even make being greedy sound so impressive.
But the Second Elder was the least like the Tianjue Sect person she had ever met. She thought the other Tianjue Sect disciples all looked ethereal and otherworldly, but the Second Elder looked particularly sturdy and robust, clearly having eaten a lot of delicious food.
The aroma of braised pork knuckle wafted through the misty hall when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The second elder solemnly hid the braised pork knuckle on the table below.
"Enter."
The person who arrived was Wen Shubai. He bowed to the Second Elder, his voice carrying an unusual seriousness. His moon-white robes were out of place with the smoky atmosphere in the hall.
"Second Elder."
The second elder knew from his expression that he had come to demand an explanation.
