Chapter 2352: When Will We Get Out of Here?
Yi Liang’s expression was a little anxious. If they continued not eating and drinking like this, they’d soon starve to their deaths.
Meanwhile, Ning Shu only continued to practice controlling the flow of air with her diaphragm and familiarizing herself with ventriloquism.
It was getting darker and colder outside. Yi Liang sat close to Ning Shu, feeling the warmth from her body radiate to him. He felt very warm that way.
“Xiao Hei, when will we get out of here?”
Yi Liang didn’t really expect Ning Shu to answer. He was simply thinking out loud.
Ning Shu had many things to consider in her mind. She had to think about Yi Xue’s group, but she also needed to think about the three cultivators she had stolen the flame fruit from.
She didn’t know what had happened to them after she left.
With her current strength, she wouldn’t be able to beat those three cultivators. Moreover, she also would have to look after Yi Liang, who would be a total deadweight in a fight.
After Yi Liang had fallen asleep beside her, Ning Shu started to cultivate. The surrounding spiritual energy gathered near her.
Yi Liang woke up at dawn the next day, yawning.
He then went outside the cave to grab some snow to eat.
“Yi Liang,” said Ning Shu.
Because she was using ventriloquism, Ning Shu’s voice was unusually low. It was undeterminable whether her voice sounded like a male or female’s voice.
Yi Liang threw away the snow in his hand and walked into the cave. His voice was gentle and affectionate as he asked, “You called me?”
“I have a secret manual that I inherited. I’ll pass it on to you.” Ning Shu stammered a bit, mainly because she kept running out of air while speaking.
Ning Shu also had some cultivation secret manuals, but who knew if Yi Liang had any spiritual roots.
After considering it for some time, Ning Shu decided to give him the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. After all, it’d work for anyone, regardless of their foundations and spiritual roots.
“But I don’t have spiritual roots. When I was younger, my mother said I didn’t have any.” Yi Liang looked a little excited.
Sure enough, he had no spiritual root.
“Sit down,” Ning Shu said.
Ning Shu slowly explained the Unsurpassable Martial Arts method to Yi Liang. Each time, after she’d talked for a while, Ning Shu had to rest a bit, otherwise, she’d be gasping for breath. Ventriloquism was really difficult.
Under Ning Shu’s guidance, Yi Liang sat cross-legged and started to cultivate.
Probably because he had just cleansed his body of impurities, his meridians weren’t blocked. Therefore, he could absorb spiritual energy very quickly.
It didn’t take long for Yi Liang to feel the spiritual energy entering his body.
“That’s so amazing.” Yi Liang opened his eyes and squeezed his fists. “Thank you, Xiao Hei!”
Ning Shu nodded. “I didn’t come up with this method. It was just passed down to me by my ancestors.”
Ning Shu didn’t want Yi Liang to think of her as an inexhaustible treasure.
She meant to only pass on the Unsurpassable Martial Arts to Yi Liang. It should be enough for him to protect himself.
Ning Shu herself had been cultivating the Unsurpassable Martial Arts this whole time
“Xiao Hei, thank you! Now I can go find my parents and my sister.” Yi Liang’s eyes were slightly red.
“I can go back to my house.
“And I want to find that demonic cultivator…”
“…”
Yi Liang rambled on. Before, without any strength, he didn’t dare to think of these things.
Now, however, he had hope. The child, who was previously at a loss, now had found his purpose. He started to calm down, but his determination only became stronger.
Yi Liang wiped his tears away and started to cultivate again.
Ning Shu said, “Maintain an inner calm.”
Yi Liang slowed down his breathing and gradually entered a good state.
Once Yi Liang experienced the joy of cultivating, he started to cultivate without taking a single break, not even pausing to eat or drink. A layer of spiritual energy surrounded him.
Ning Shu also felt relieved that he’d started cultivating. It would take some time, but he’d eventually become strong.
As she cultivated, Ning Shu’s ears twitched. Because she had cultivated the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, her senses were sharper. There was also the fact that she was currently a fox.
She sensed that someone was coming, and vaguely heard a dog barking.
Ning Shu pushed Yi Liang, interrupting his cultivation. Yi Liang opened his eyes and asked, “Xiao Hei, what’s wrong?”
“Someone’s coming.”
“Has Yi Xue and the others come to chase us down?” Yi Liang stood up. When he moved, his bones cracked audibly like fried beans.
“Senior Brother, there are fluctuations of spiritual energy here,” said someone from the entrance of the cave.
