My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 464: Stepping Into The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 464: Stepping Into The World Of Cultivation
Taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Gui Ying explained, "Our Gui Clan has innate spiritual roots that resonate strongly with the Yin Energy."
"It is basic knowledge that the sun is Yang and the moon is Yin. By cultivating under the moonlight, we can achieve three times the result with half the effort."
"Since this is your first time learning how to draw spiritual energy into your dantian, tonight is the perfect time. The moon is not full, but not faint either. The Yin Energy contained in the moonlight is just right for you to absorb."
"With your talent, it won’t be long before you can successfully draw in the spiritual energy."
Gui Xiaoxu listened carefully to Gui Ying’s explanation, then picked up the book and began reading.
Seeing this, Gui Ying didn’t disturb him and happily enjoyed the spiritual tea.
A few hours later, when the moon had climbed to the top of their heads, Gui Ying slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Gui Xiaoxu and saw that he was already deep in meditation.
As moonlight illuminated the serene garden, the Yin Energy within it surged into Gui Xiaoxu’s body wave after wave. It was so abundant that it condensed into a thick fog visible to the naked eye.
Raising his brows, Gui Ying muttered with a rare hint of surprise, "Looks like he doesn’t need this young master’s help."
Standing up from the stone stool, Gui Ying took out a formation plate and placed it on the stone table. He formed a simple hand seal, then tapped the small mirror at the center of the formation plate.
In the next second, the mirror glowed, and a beam of golden light shot out of it.
As the golden light spread and formed a barrier, covering the entire garden, Gui Ying smiled and said, "Work hard tonight. This young master will visit you again tomorrow."
Leaving those words behind, Gui Ying snapped his fingers and disappeared, not caring whether Gui Xiaoxu heard him or not.
While Gui Xiaoxu was absorbed in cultivation, the moon slowly tilted toward the western horizon. When it finally faded, and the sun peeked out from the eastern horizon, Gui Xiaoxu slowly opened his eyes.
Breathing out the turbid energies accumulated in his meridians, Gui Xiaoxu clenched his hands.
Feeling the warm energy circulating through his body, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, instantly softening his usual cold expression.
When Gui Ying reappeared in the garden, he caught sight of this scene.
’Oh, he is in a good mood today,’
he thought.
Approaching Gui Xiaoxu, Gui Ying said with a hint of a smile in his tone, "Not bad. You reached the peak level of the Qi Refining Realm in one night."
Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu came out of his thoughts and turned around.
Recalling the next lesson recorded in the book Gui Ying gave him, Gui Xiaoxu used his divine sense to check Gui Ying’s cultivation level, but found that there was an invisible barrier blocking his divine sense, preventing him from seeing through Gui Ying’s cultivation level.
Curious by this finding, he asked, "Why can’t I see your cultivation level?"
Gui Ying snorted and took a seat in front of him. "A lower-level cultivator can’t see the cultivation level of those above them."
Staring at him, Gui Xiaoxu asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice, "Then what is your cultivation level?"
Since they were brothers, Gui Ying didn’t hide anything. He replied calmly, "This young master has reached the perfection level of the Ascension Realm."
"If not because of those useless siblings, this young master would have already ascended to the higher realm to find our ancestors and become immortal."
When his words fell, Gui Xiaoxu sensed both faint disdain and a trace of worry in Gui Ying’s expression.
"You should learn to hide your emotions better," he commented after a brief moment of silence.
Pretending that he didn’t hear what Gui Xiaoxu just said, Gui Ying pinched his nose and said disdainfully, "You stink and are dirty. Go wash yourself and change your clothes."
At his words, Gui Xiaoxu noticed the thin layer of black liquid covering his body. Though not as thick as the first time Gui Ying injected spiritual energy into his body, it still smelled like rotten eggs.
Gui Xiaoxu frowned deeply, then stood up and left the garden without a word.
After he left, Gui Ying waved his hand, dispersing the pungent smell with a breeze. Only when the air turned fresh did he sigh in relief.
"Ugh... What did he eat all these years to produce something that foul? He almost choked this young master to death!" Gui Ying complained as he took out several flower seeds from his spatial ring.
While he busied himself planting the seeds, inside the bathroom, Gui Xiaoxu was busy scrubbing his body.
An hour later, Gui Xiaoxu finally left the bathroom after washing his body three times.
Walking to the simple wardrobe, he opened it and saw that all the clothes were neatly arranged by color and style. Thinking of the man who delivered the clothes, Gui Xiaoxu’s eyes flickered with appreciation.
Picking out a set of clothes, he spent another half hour figuring out how to wear them properly.
By the time he returned to the garden, the flower seeds planted by Gui Ying had fully grown.
Noticing the glowing flowers, Gui Xiaoxu looked at Gui Ying with questioning eyes.
"Oh, those are Smell Dispersing Flowers. They absorb bad odor and turn it into spiritual energy. It’s perfect for you," Gui Ying explained casually.
Hearing this, Gui Xiaoxu’s calm expression cracked. Unable to help himself, he secretly sniffed his own arm. Smelling nothing unpleasant, he let out a silent sigh of relief.
Seeing Gui Xiaoxu secretly smelling his body, Gui Ying rolled his eyes. Standing up, he said, "Since you have met the requirement, we will break the bloodline suppression seal inside your dantian today."
The moment Gui Xiaoxu heard this, his eyes lit up. Clenching his hands, he took a deep breath to calm himself.
A few seconds later, he looked at Gui Ying and nodded calmly.
With that, Gui Ying snapped his fingers, and both of them disappeared from the garden, leaving the glowing flowers swaying gracefully in the morning breeze.
