Chapter 13: Spiritual Refining Talent
"In refining the spirit, the most important thing is the spirit soul!"

"We are different from warriors who cultivate their physical bodies. To us, the physical body is just a shell, and only the soul is the essence."

"The first stage of spiritual cultivation is to stabilize the soul, to stabilize the spiritual light in the soul and spirit, and to transform the soul and spirit into a divine soul."

"After settling the soul, it is time to leave the body. When the soul grows to a certain level, you can start trying to flush it out of the body. At this level, you can start practicing illusion."

"After leaving the body, it is the Yin Spirit. The Yin Spirit travels through the heaven and earth, allowing us to know what is happening in the world without leaving our homes!"

"After Yin God, there is Yang God. At that time, our souls have grown strong and tough enough to move in the sun, without any weaknesses. This realm is equivalent to a master among warriors, but it is stronger than a master among warriors. The founder of our Shuoqing Temple is an illusionist at the level of Yang God. He once trapped three masters in a battle, and finally all three masters died..."

"How amazing!" Cui Shuyun's eyes lit up.

Grandmaster, Cui Shuyun still knows.

Just like in Zhu Chengwu’s previous life, even seven-year-old children knew about nuclear warheads.

"A towering building rises from the ground! The Yang Spirit is too far away. What you need to do now is to stabilize your soul! Take the first step in refining the spirit!"

Seeing that Cui Shuyun's emotions were aroused, Ai Jingxia began to emphasize the basics again.

"Now I will teach you how to fix your soul. First, choose an object to visualize and put all your consciousness into it. Then, silently recite the Soul-Fixing Mantra in your consciousness. The Soul-Fixing Mantra can help you fix the spiritual light in your soul and transform it into a divine soul..."

"When settling the soul, if conditions permit, you can also light a pillar of soul-settling incense!"

"The full text of the Soul-Settling Spell is: Human nature is human, human mind is scheming, establish the way of heaven to settle the mind..."

Ai Jingxia was young after all, and it was her first time as a teacher. She did not follow the old custom of teaching and imparting knowledge: three years of being on the saddle, three years of being on the back, and then passing on skills after a series of tests. In the process of passing on skills, the teacher would also keep some tricks up his sleeve...

Avoid teaching your apprentice and starving yourself to death!
What Ai Jingxia said were all valuable information, and what she taught were all true methods.

Click, click, click~~~~
Just as Ai Jingxia was teaching enthusiastically and Cui Shuyun was learning seriously, the crowing of a rooster was heard outside the yard.

"It's almost dawn!"

"Let's stop here for today!"

Ai Jingxia glanced out the window and saw that it was already a little bright, so she said.

"How much of the Soul-Fixing Spell have you memorized?"

Then he asked again.

"Probably three floors!"

Cui Shuyun answered.

Ai Jingxia was stunned.

The Soul-Fixing Spell is obscure and difficult to understand. In addition, since it involves the spirit and soul, there are rules and restrictions that are difficult to communicate.

It took Ai Jingxia herself three days to memorize the entire "Soul-Fixing Spell".

Even with this, he is already one of the top three geniuses of Shuoqingguan's generation.

Cui Shuyun memorized three levels in less than half a night!

The more soul-fixing spells you remember, the harder it will be to remember the ones that come after.

But this talent is no less than Ai Jingxia's own.

What's more, this happened when Cui Shuyun was hit by the Desolation Spell and her talent was damaged.

If Sister Yun's talent had not been damaged, how high would her spiritual cultivation ability be?
Ai Jingxia was secretly surprised.

"Not bad!"

"Continue tomorrow!"

"In a few days, you can officially practice Spirit Refining!"

Ai Jingxia suppressed the shock in her heart and spoke in a calm tone.

"By the way, don't tell anyone else that I was here! And don't tell anyone about your spiritual cultivation for now!"

After saying that, Ai Jingxia snapped her fingers, and disappeared like broken petals.

"Okay, sister-in-law!"

At this time, Cui Shuyun's reply just sounded.

……

"Hey, why did I fall asleep?"

As Ai Jingxia left, the old woman who had fallen asleep nearby began to wake up.

"Wake up, wake up! How did you fall asleep? If Madam knew that we were both asleep, she would definitely give us a good beating!"

The old woman who woke up first pushed the other old woman who had not yet woken up and said unhappily.

"Mother Zhao, Mother Zhao!"

The other old woman had not woken up yet, but the one who woke up first heard someone calling her.

Look in the direction where the sound came from.

But she found Cui Shuyun lying on the bed, looking at her with her bright big eyes.

"Miss, Miss! You're awake!"

"I, I'll tell the lady right now!"

"Madam has been worried about you these days. She is so worried!"

Old Mrs. Zhao was so excited that she was incoherent.

At this time, another old woman was also awakened by her screams.

"I say, old lady Zhao, what are you making so much noise about..."

"Ah! Mademoiselle! Are you awake?"

The old woman who woke up later also discovered Cui Shuyun who had woken up.

"Mrs. Cui, please look after the young lady. I will go and tell the lady the good news!"

Seeing that Old Lady Cui had woken up, Old Lady Zhao, who had woken up first, immediately told Old Lady Cui to watch over Cui Shuyun, and she rushed out of the yard quickly.

"This damn old woman is still so impetuous!" Old Lady Cui scolded with a smile.

Cui Shuyun was watching from the side and found it funny. Don't think that Old Lady Cui was scolding Old Lady Zhao, in fact, they had a very good relationship!
According to the old people in the mansion, they had been following their mother since before Cui Shuyun was born.

Very good relationship!

Moreover, in the past ten years since Cui Shuyun could remember, she had heard more than once that they quarreled and pulled hair over each other and other people...

They are real close friends!
Gu~~

"Mother Cui, I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Cui Shuyun touched her belly and looked at Old Lady Cui shyly.

Although he had precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng to keep him alive while he was in a coma, he hardly ate anything.

She was just with her second sister-in-law and was concentrating all her energy, so she didn’t feel it. But now that she relaxed, Cui Shuyun suddenly felt very hungry.

"Oh! This! Miss, let me find it for you!"

Mother Cui quickly started rummaging through the drawers and boxes.

The Cui family has no shortage of food.

But it’s not daybreak yet!
There is no need to have a fire in the kitchen.

Even if the kitchen has started to light a fire and cook, it is definitely not ready at this point.

Mrs. Cui could only find out the small dish of pastries that she and Mrs. Zhao had hidden yesterday and were going to take home for the younger generations.

"Miss, please eat some cakes first!"

"Madam and Master have instructed that you cannot be short of people here!"

"When Mrs. Zhao comes back, I will go and tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast."

Mrs. Cui handed the pastry to Cui Shuyun.

"Ok!"

Cui Shuyun quickly took the pastry and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

After all, she is a lady from a noble family and the daughter of a famous family. Even if she is so hungry, Cui Shuyun can still eat elegantly.

This is not intentional, but a habit.

This is the true style of a noble lady!

In a short while, Cui Shuyun finished the entire small plate of pastries.

"Miss, are you feeling better?"

Old Mrs. Cui took the empty plate left by Cui Shuyun.

"Yeah! Much better."

With something to fill her stomach, Cui Shuyun suddenly felt stronger.

Cui Shuyun and Old Lady Cui had nothing to talk about.

When she had nothing to do, Cui Shuyun began to recite the soul-calming spell silently.

Although Cui Shuyun didn't know the memory forgetting curve.

But under the guidance of her father and brother, and in her own learning summary, she also summed up similar rules.

The knowledge you have learned should be reviewed as soon as possible so that you won't forget it easily.

"Sister Yun, Sister Yun!"

Just as Cui Shuyun was silently reciting the soul-calming spell, the voice of Cui's mother was faintly heard outside the yard.

After all, it was flesh that fell from her own body, so Cui's mother arrived quickly.

"Sister Yun!"

"Mother!"

When Cui's mother entered the room, the mother and daughter looked at each other and tears could not stop flowing.

"Sister Yun, why are you so stupid!"

Cui's mother rushed to the bed, hugged Cui Shuyun and cried.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I made you worry!"

Cui Shuyun hugged her mother, tears also flowing uncontrollably.

These days, although she couldn't move or speak, Cui Shuyun could still feel the movements of the outside world from time to time.

Cui Shuyun knew that her mother was very worried about her and shed many tears for her.

"Sister Yun, do you really not want to marry the Marquis of Fu'an?"

After a while, Cui's mother asked tentatively.

But he never said anything like "If you don't marry me, I'll break off the engagement."

Because over the past ten days, Cui Zongji's attitude and Cui Zongyan's letters made her realize that Cui Shuyun no longer had any choice.

She can't change!

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter has figured it out and will get married with peace of mind!"

Cui Shuyun knew what her mother was worried about.

When she was unable to move, she heard a lot of conversations between her mother and brothers and realized that it was impossible to cancel the engagement.

The only difficulty in life is death!
Cui Shuyun is almost dead, what is there to be afraid of?
Isn’t it just getting married?

Women all have to get married!

What's there to be afraid of?

Besides, what about my second sister-in-law?
When I learn the magic technique...

Cui Shuyun pondered secretly in her heart.
