Volume 2 Chapter 74: The Cave Mansion

  Seeing the comments in the evaluation area, Nan Chao is very moved. This book has not been written in vain... Hmm, I'd like to mention something. After chapter 4, I will probably find a deputy moderator to help manage the evaluation area. The requirements are that they need to be online frequently, enthusiastic, and have a certain amount of fan value. At that time, everyone can apply, and I will select the best candidates for approval!

  Wosong Cave is actually a cave excavated in the cliff of a precipice, with an interior hollowed out to form a stone chamber of nearly 100 square meters.

  Inside the stone room, the furnishings are very simple, with only a stone bed, a stone table and two stone stools carved out of the local material; in addition, there are also two bamboo woven meditation cushions.

  This place is very secluded and ordinary people can't find it. At first, Yining also accidentally discovered it in the process of playing.

  The stone room is simple, but it's been swept clean and looks neat and comfortable. The skylight is open at an angle, allowing sunlight or moonlight to shine in; and outside the entrance, there's a slightly protruding stone platform that's been polished very smoothly - Yin Ning almost sits on this platform every evening, inhaling and absorbing the essence of the moon.

  Ordinary monsters rely on absorbing human essence, blood and energy to improve their cultivation, basically all of them have gone down the evil path; only those who have obtained orthodox Taoist transmission can absorb the essence of the sun and moon.

  The demon mouse had just landed when it sniffed its nose and suddenly smelled the extraordinary thick spiritual energy, it was so excited that it rolled several times, ran around, opened its mouth to breathe heavily, looking like it was starving.

  The heaven and earth have spiritual energy, but due to geographical location, some places are thin and unbearable, while others are denser; the place with the densest spiritual energy is where the spiritual vein is located.

  However, the spiritual veins are not common and are difficult to find. The locations of those sects' strongholds basically all have spiritual veins. As for the unowned wilderness, places with spiritual veins are extremely rare.

  The spiritual vein inside the Wusong Cave is only a small section, not complete, so it can only produce a strong spiritual energy in the cave, with a very narrow range, but for personal use, it is enough.

  It is also because of the dense spiritual energy of the cave that Yining's cultivation can make rapid progress, saving a lot of time in her bitter practice.

  As for the spiritual energy, Chen Jianchen actually didn't understand it and couldn't truly feel it. He just thought that the air in the stone room was particularly fresh and pleasant, taking a deep breath, his spirit was refreshed.

  Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity and hardship of the Taoist practitioners, who were truly detached from worldly affairs, enduring endless loneliness and solitude, tirelessly seeking the Great Way of Longevity. Even if they died silently in the wilderness without being noticed, they would have no regrets. If there was a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Great Way, by then the world would have changed beyond recognition, as evidenced by this poem:

  "There are birds and birds Ding Lingwei, left home for a thousand years now returned: the city walls remain but the people are gone, why not learn from the immortal tombs piled high."

  Hush!

  The infant jumped onto the stone bed and waved his hand.

  Chen Jianchen walked over and found that at the head of the stone bed, near the inner wall, a small area had been skillfully crafted into a stalactite, with a crystal clear jade cup placed underneath.

  Bang!

  Every now and then, a small drop of water would fall from the top of the stalactite into the cup.

  At this time, there was already a small half cup in the cup. Looking at it, the color is milky white, shiny and has a good appearance.

  Hush!

  Ying Ning pointed to the cup, indicating that Chen Jianchen should drink it; the mouse demon also jumped over and stood on one side, it was more discerning than Chen Jianchen, its small eyes gleaming with desire as it stared at the ** in the cup, drooling with envy, wishing it could jump into the cup with a single leap.

  According to Shunying's meaning, Chen Jianchen took the cup and sipped a little, the entrance was sweet and refreshing, and the dry and thirsty feeling in his throat instantly disappeared without a trace. The refreshing feeling was like eating a piece of ice on a hot summer day, and he felt that all the pores on his body were open, with no place not transparent and no place not cool.

  Delicious!

  Isn't it the legendary Jade Dew?

  If it weren't for the mouse demon's interference, Chen Jianchen would have drunk the whole thing in one gulp.

  "Here you go, Little Yi, this is for you."

  Push the cup in front of the mouse monster.

  The mouse demon was overjoyed and thanked him with a bow.

  It also understands etiquette, and without hastily using the jade cup to drink, it asks after Bao Ning, takes another ordinary ceramic bowl, pours the contents of the jade cup into the bowl, and then holds the bowl to drink with relish. After finishing drinking, it reluctantly buries its head in, licking the ceramic bowl clean, looking very treasured.

  He asked Yīn Níng, and Chen Jiàn Chén learned that this was a spiritual liquid produced by the stalactite, which could fill up a cup every day. Drinking it regularly had the effect of strengthening one's physique and prolonging one's lifespan.

  At this time, Yinniang seemed to have thought of something again, took out a small piece of non-silk and non-brocade fabric, then took out the needle and thread, threaded the needle, and sewed very skillfully.

  She can even do needlework!

  Chen Jianchen found that his acceptance was still insufficient, and when he saw Yinniang sitting properly like a little girl doing needlework, he still felt surprised.

  Soon, Yining made a small vest and gave it to Xiaoyi, saying it was a gift for her little brother.

  Xiao Yi took it over and was surprisingly moved to tears, with a runny nose, and quickly put on the horse jacket.

  Seeing it wearing a horse jacket, Chen Jianchen's first reaction was to think of the classic cartoon mouse images on TV in his previous life.

  Well, the past is gone and will never come back. What's important is to cherish the present.

  It was late at night, Chen Jianchen fell asleep on the bed; while Yin Ning couldn't wait to become a "master", she called Xiaoyi to one side, first took out a finger-thick sandalwood incense stick, lit it and inserted it into an incense burner. This sandalwood has the effect of calming the soul and protecting the yin spirit from escaping and getting hurt.

  Then, both of them will be in a state of trance, which is more conducive to the transmission of Taoist teachings.

  Xiao Yi's yin spirit image is a short and chubby little boy, with a silly expression on his face. Compared to the first time he appeared, his body is much clearer and more solid now. As for Ying Ning's yin spirit image, it is a girl wearing white clothes, looking like she is only 13 or 14 years old, with a beautiful appearance and delicate features. This yin spirit image is not something that can be easily cultivated, and once formed, it is difficult to change. When they reach a high level of cultivation and can transform into human form, their human form will be exactly like this.

  However, for a demon to transform into human form, it requires the Yuanying realm boundary. Normally, one would need to cultivate for five hundred years to achieve such an attainment.

  "Long time no see, sister!"

  Xiao Yi bowed politely and said.

  "Hehe, Little Yi, you're so chubby, you must be very greedy..."

  They were exchanging words in a spiritual realm, and Chen Jianchen was unaware of it unless the two demons entered his soul. But the mouse demon did not dare to make any sudden moves, because once it sensed the presence of evil spirits approaching, the righteous sword on Chen Jianchen's body would reveal itself to protect its master.

  My sword is mighty and strong!

  At this moment today, this sword must have grown a bit longer.
