Chapter 9: Trapped

Chapter 9 trapped
Xu Chuniang heart too late to be sad, but the whole person was surrounded by cold liquid gushing from all sides wrapped up, it turned out that the bottom of this is actually a pool of water.

She actually did not die?
Xu Chuniang, who had regained her life, almost froze, slowed down for a while before reacting, and hurriedly held her breath, surfaced, and swam towards the shore.

Borrowing the pale moonlight, Xu Chunniang could only vaguely make out the scene around her.

This was a natural cave, and in the center of the cave was a small pool of water, and she had fallen from the mountain gap above the pool of water.

Just look at the height, the mountain gap from the water pool about seven or eight feet high, relying on manpower is afraid that it is difficult to climb out.

I only hope that there are other exits in this cave. ……

Xu Chuniang shook her head and suppressed her thoughts. It was too dark, and she was tired, so it would be better to do some more exploring tomorrow.

It was also a blessing in disguise, although she lost her footing and fell into the depths of the mountain belly, it was not all for naught, not only did she find a natural cave where she could stay for the time being, but she also found a source of water along the way, which saved her a lot of trouble.

The next day at dawn, Xu Chuniang woke up on time.

At this time, the sky is just light, the sun has not yet risen, the cave is also a blur, it is impossible to explore the road.

She couldn’t sleep and refused to waste time, so she crossed her legs and started meditating.

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but she realized that after meditating today, the amount of aura she attracted was almost three times the usual amount.

Xu Chuniang was only slightly puzzled and then put the matter aside, meditating and fixating had to be focused.

She closed her eyes and began to harmonize the surrounding aura.

The blue Water Aura was the most well-behaved, and merged quickly with the green Wood Aura, except that once the yellow Earth Aura was added to these two auras, it would dissipate all at once.

Xu Chuniang wasn’t discouraged, she had already encountered this situation many times. She remained patient and started again.

Finally, after an unknown number of repetitions, for the first time, the blue, green and yellow auras merged together!
Xu Chuniang stabilized her mind and recited the gong method in her heart, guiding the aura mass into her body. The aura mass traveled crookedly all the way, but was introduced into the dantian without any danger.

Successful!
Xu Chuniang opened her eyes in surprise, although she was still far from truly drawing qi into her body, this step was crucial.

Next, she only needed to introduce the spiritual qi mass into her dantian, continuously filling it up, and then use her gong method to guide the spiritual qi in her body around the Great Circumference to cultivate once more.

Just as she was about to continue her cultivation, her stomach growled, and Xu Chuniang realized that she had spent half a day on this cultivation.

After cultivating for so long, she didn’t feel the slightest bit tired, but instead felt in good spirits.

Xu Chuniang took a grain-preventing elixir and prepared to explore the cave to see if there were any other exits.

The belly of the mountain wasn’t very large, and other than the small water pool and the place where she slept and practiced, the rest of the place was almost unobstructed, and there were no other exits at all.

Xu Chuniang, who had just been happy because of the breakthrough in her cultivation, suddenly hung her head in despair, the lack of other exits meant that she would be trapped in this cave!
She counted the grain-expelling pills in her storage bag, and there were only fifteen left. If she still couldn’t get out after taking these grain-expelling pills, she would be trapped to death here!
Xu Chuniang winced, a little startled by her own thoughts.

She desperately shook her head, dispelling this horrible thought from her mind.

“There must be a way, there’s still fifteen more grain-preventing pills, if I save a bit and take half a pill a day, I’ll be able to last for thirty days! I’m small and don’t consume much, half a pill should be enough.

Thirty days is enough time for me to draw Qi into my body.”

She raised her head and surveyed the mountain crevice, after drawing Qi into her body, she should be able to climb out, right?
Xu Chuniang wasn’t too sure, but there was no other way nowadays, so she could only try her best.

After making up her mind, she sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

This cultivation took ten whole days.

Apart from the necessary three hours of sleep every day, Xu Chuniang spent all of her time cultivating, and thus her progress was astonishingly fast, and the aura in her dantian became more and more full, and soon it would be full. On this day, after Xu Chuniang introduced the spiritual qi mass into her dantian, she realized that it was already completely full.

Blessed to the core, she directly began to revolve the Easy Technique, carefully channeling the aura.

As the gong method operated, the aura followed the spirit veins as they traveled through the limbs and bones, undergoing some sort of transformative transformation.

Xu Chuniang only felt that there was nothing but comfort all over her body, and wherever the spiritual qi reached, her body became warm, as if she was soaking in warm water.

However, the warmth soon disappeared and turned into severe pain.

It turned out that as the gong method ran, the aura gradually left where the spiritual vein was located and traveled towards a deeper place.

“Ah!”

Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but cry out in pain, even though she had prepared herself mentally, she was still caught off guard by this sharp pain, almost subconsciously, she wanted to stop the operation of her heart technique.

Just as quickly, she remembered what Uncle Gu had said on the lecture room.

“When drawing qi into the body, at first, the place you pass through is protected by the spiritual veins, and you will feel the warmth. But as the gong method goes deeper, the qi will wander into more places that are not protected by spirit veins, and at that time, there will be intense pain, and many people will stop cultivating because they can’t stand the pain.

If you stop because of the pain, even though you have succeeded in drawing the qi into your body, your path of cultivation has come to an end.

The pain you are enduring is actually nothing more than the aura transforming your body, and the longer you persist in this step, the greater the benefits to your future cultivation.”

No, can’t give up here!

With a ruthless heart, Xu Chuniang continued to start running the Heart Technique.

She was originally the daughter of a peasant family and couldn’t read or write, so it was hard for her to get the Immortal Fortune to be able to cultivate, so she had to put her best foot forward!

As time passed, the transformation of the aura on her body became deeper and deeper, even drilling into some meridians that the gongfu had not guided.

Xu Chuniang’s body trembled lightly from the pain, but she gritted her teeth and refused to give in, she had to hold on longer and longer!
Later, her consciousness was a bit blurred, and she could no longer support herself, tilting her head and fainting……

Xu Chuniang was awakened by the stench.

She wrinkled her nose and opened her eyes, her consciousness still lingering from the time when she had induced qi into her body, and she didn’t know if she had succeeded or not.

Xu Chuniang first checked her body and found that the aura in her dantian was extraordinarily full and satiated, and there was also a hidden flow of aura in all parts of her body, so a heart was put back into her stomach, it was finally a success.

Only then did she have the leisure to look for the source of the stench.

As a result, she was shocked to find that the one emitting the amazing stench was actually herself?

It turned out that she was wrapped in a layer of black filth all over her body, emitting an unpleasant odor from head to toe.

With a little thought Xu Chuniang understood that this was the filth that had been discharged after the aura had transformed her body.

This place was quiet and deserted, Xu Chuniang directly removed the clothes on her own body and started to scrub up by jumping into the water pool.

It took a full hour of washing before the annoying layer of dirt on her body was cleaned up.

After washing, Xu Chuniang realized that she seemed to be much whiter than before, it should be due to the aura flushing and quenching her body.

“Now that I have Spiritual Qi in my body, I wonder if I can leave this cave.” She whispered and raised her head to look upwards.
