Chapter 7: Mud and Cultivation
Li Xi desperately hoped that rascal Song’er would lie to her.
But in the next second, she had to face reality.
“Aunt, we used well water and mud,” Song’er’s innocent childish voice rang out.
Before Li Xi could calm her heart, Song’er’s voice sounded again, this time like a little demon flying into Li Xi’s ears.
“Aunt, we also used pee and mud!”
Li Xi’s face turned green.
From her spotlessly clean room, it was clear that she was a clean little girl in daily life.
Seeing Li Xi’s face turn green, Song’er’s big eyes, full of curiosity, blinked rapidly as he continued, “Aunt, aren’t you curious about the difference between using water and mud versus using pee and mud?”
“What difference could there be? It’s just mixed mud,” more smelly, Li Xi didn’t say the rest out loud. Just thinking about it made the air seem even more unpleasant.
Song’er’s sincere little eyes looked increasingly annoying.
She was already a big ten-year-old girl, how could she quibble with these little kids? Li Xi took deep breaths, trying to comfort herself.
Stay calm, stay calm, to hell with staying calm!
You three just wait!
“Elder sister-in-law! Second sister-in-law! Come quickly, Song’er and the others are causing trouble again!” Li Xi shouted loudly towards the main house.
Xing’er and Bai’er were still standing there in a daze, being younger they didn’t see anything wrong with playing in the mud. But Song’er was already five years old, and his mischievous nature had already experienced the treachery of adults.
We absolutely can’t be caught by mother and second aunt!
Song’er decisively shouted to his sister and brother: “Run!” Then he took off running around the courtyard.
Xing’er and Bai’er stumbled along after him.
By this time, the family meeting in the main house had ended. Wu Jingwan and Liu Qiniang hurried out when they heard Li Xi’s shout, only to see three little mud monkeys “frolicking” all over the courtyard.
After seeing the messy scene in the courtyard, their faces turned green.
The usually gentle Wu Jingwan now lost her composure, “Li! Song!”
Hearing his mother’s gritted teeth, Li Song shuddered and ran even faster.
When such things happened, there was no need to guess, it must have been led by that boy Li Song! This child, why was he so naughty?
Liu Qiniang was both angry and amused, “You three little monkeys!”
They couldn’t let them run wild around the courtyard anymore. Liu Qiniang formed a single-handed seal: “Wood Spirit Technique!”
Wood spiritual energy was guided by the spell towards the big tree in the courtyard. One of the tree’s branches quickly grew and extended, catching the three little ones running around and placing them in front of Liu Qiniang and Wu Jingwan.
“Mother! Mother! Second aunt! Song’er knows he was wrong! Song’er won’t dare do it again!” Once caught by the spirit wood, Song’er knew he had definitely done wrong again and habitually started begging loudly for mercy.
“Brother, we’ve been caught,” Xing’er was still oblivious to the situation.
“Tree, big tree, came!” Bai’er thought this was a new game his mother and everyone were playing, clapping his little hands and laughing.
“You dare say you know you were wrong! Getting so dirty!” Wu Jingwan looked at this little mud monkey with disdain.
“Mother~ I really know I was wrong~” Song’er whined.
“You still dare to whine, today I must teach you a lesson you’ll remember!” Wu Jingwan’s heart full of love for her son really couldn’t bear this little guy.
“Elder sister-in-law, just let it go. Although Song’er not only played with well water and mud but also used urine and mud, he’s still just a child~” Li Xi’s words seemed to be pleading for Song’er but were actually adding fuel to the fire.
“What?” x2
Hearing this, the two sisters-in-law were completely aghast.
These three children actually!
Seeing the two sisters-in-law’s faces really change color, Li Xi knew Song’er was in for it.
Holding back a smile on her face, Li Xi turned to leave.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly smelled herself again, and remembered that the three little brats had thrown mud at her.
Ah ah ah ah!
I need a bath! I need a bath!
Li Xi screamed internally.
After bathing, Li Xi used the Purification Technique several times before she was satisfied.
It was getting late. Li Xi lay on the purifying grass pillow made by her elder sister-in-law, contentedly inhaling the fresh scent of the sun-dried purifying grass as she closed her eyes.
Don’t misunderstand, she wasn’t planning to sleep yet.
More accurately: Li Family · Dream Cultivation · Research Plan Experiment #1642 Launch!
The words she learned from Brother Wenze really gave her daily cultivation a unique sense of seriousness.
Li Xi cast aside distracting thoughts and focused her mind.
The spiritual energy of the Returning to Origin Technique circulated through her meridians until completing a full cycle.
Li Xi could clearly feel her spiritual energy strengthen a bit.
Very good, keeping up the momentum, the Returning to Origin Technique’s spiritual energy continued to circulate…
Second cycle… Third cycle… Sixth cycle…
Very good, today’s momentum was excellent. Elder sister-in-law’s pillow was indeed useful.
Gradually, Li Xi slowly relaxed her mind. The Returning to Origin Technique continued to operate. Its spiritual energy was already very familiar with Li Xi’s meridian circulation route, until regular breathing sounds were heard in the room…
She had fallen asleep.
The Returning to Origin Technique’s spiritual energy, having lost Li Xi’s mental control, seemed not to have realized that the body’s owner had fallen into deep sleep. It continued forward a short distance along the meridians…
Then, the unrestrained spiritual energy didn’t directly dissipate, but slowly sank into Li Xi’s meridians, flesh, and bones.
The continuous nourishment of spiritual energy made her body rejoice from the inside out. The internal flesh eagerly absorbed the dispersed spiritual energy.
In her dream, Li Xi felt as if she was immersed in a warm ocean, all her pores expanding, fully enjoying the nourishment of spiritual energy.
As the spiritual energy continued to combine with her flesh and blood, her meridians, flesh, and bones slowly underwent minute changes.
Her breath was steady and deep, each breath driving the exchange and flow of energy between her body and the surrounding air.
Every day after cultivation, the unrestrained spiritual energy would make Li Xi’s body grow better, slowly improving her constitution.
However, today’s Li Family · Dream Cultivation · Research Plan Experiment #1642 had failed.
Li Xi, seeming to sense something, mumbled softly and turned over, falling into an even deeper sleep.
