Because he turned around and sat down, the face could be met right away. It seemed that circulating the internal energy along the blood vessels was not an easy task, as the complexion looked a little more tired than before.
“Yes, I remember.”
“Good.”
The master continued, smiling calmly at the gaze examining his complexion.
“First, I led the restoration of the energy of the jade plum pill you took with my internal energy, so the energy of the jade plum pill is now yours. From now on, you need to move the energy directly and circulate it according to the path of the Six Harmonies Method. That’s how you’ll continue to build your internal strength.”
Come to think of it, there was no sensation of cold spreading out like right after taking the spirit pill.
“I understand.”
“However, moving the internal energy alone without my help like just now may not be easy. Don’t be impatient, think of it as progressing one step every day. Building internal strength is important, but what’s more important is whether you can have it entirely under your control. Even if the energy of the spirit pill has become yours, it’s not entirely yours until you completely control them.”
Indeed, nothing in the world is easy.
“Yes…….”
I responded, but can I really do this?
Even though I felt the energy roaming inside my body just now, the words sounded like ‘You can use magic if you want!’
‘No, it would be nice if I could use it.’
The feeling is a bit strange.
Then, when it was lunchtime, we had a simple meal, and the master took me outside the mountain gate.
The main building of the Volcano Sect is built on the summit of Lotus Peak, the western peak of the volcano. This was my first time outside the mountain gate since waking up in this body, and the terrain was more rugged than I imagined.
Right in front of my eyes were stairs that made me wonder whether they were made to walk or roll on, and it seemed better to just prepare a sled and slide down if it snowed in winter.
What was more problematic was that the stairs were flanked by cliffs. No trees were seen to grab if one were to fall. The volcano was truly a mountain made of rocks.
‘No, how on earth was this Taoist temple built here?’
How did they bring the building materials?
I followed the master, who was walking ahead, being as careful as possible, but frankly, it was nearly impossible to descend these stairs with my 12yearold short legs.
When I tripped and rolled down the stairs, trying to overtake him, the master quickly picked me up and lifted me into the air.
“Wha…….”
Wow, I was too startled to make a sound.
“Oops.”
A small sigh was heard from above my head. Being held in the air by the back of my neck, I felt like a puppy caught by a mother dog, but… since my life was saved, I’ll let it pass.
The master who sat me on his arm and hugged me fixed my posture, patting my back and apologizing awkwardly.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think about it, but it’s still a bit steep for you.”
Does that mean it won’t be steep when I grow up?
Really?
“No, it’s okay…….”
I honestly thought I was going to die even though he said it was okay. If the volcano was fine, he should have built it in a lower place.
“You must have been surprised. Is your ankle okay?”
“It’s okay……”
“Good, I’m relieved.”
The master sighed lightly. In the meantime, the speed at which he descended the stairs had become much faster, whether he had matched his speed to mine until just now. He seemed fine, but I was the only one who was scared.
As I gripped his clothes tightly, the master opened his mouth with a calm voice, smiling for a moment.
“Basically, for a martial artist to use a weapon, it is natural that the body must support it. Even when all the inner strength is consumed, a true martial artist must not let go of the weapon. So training the external as much as the internal is considered important. Of course, it’s a bit early for you to talk about this…….”
Trailing off at the end of his words, he descended all the stairs and turned onto the mountain path.
“Anyway, since you have become a disciple of the volcano, you will eventually hold a sword, so it is right to prepare the body you need in advance. Above all, there should be no rolling and falling down the stairs like just now.”
“Yes…….”
But I think it’s the stairs’ fault…….
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
