I am in the world of immortal cultivation, I am taming beasts and ascending

Chapter 5: The Stepmother's Gift
"Sister is the same. When Yun'er woke up, you should have sent these little girls to tell me immediately so that Yun'er's illness would not be delayed! These little girls have become so ignorant of the world that they don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is!" Cui's face was full of majesty, and the little girls behind her kept silent and held their breath, and were respectful and serious.

"Yun'er woke up in the middle of the night, and it was late and the dew was heavy. These little girls were tired after a day's work and were sleeping soundly. Why disturb them?" Bai was a kind-hearted person. She always thought of others first, and these words came from the bottom of her heart.

"Sister! You are kindhearted and easy to talk to!" Cui stood up for Bai. "If there are any blind people who are cunning and disobey orders, tell me! I will punish them!"

At this point, Liuyun felt something was not right!

Just now it was clearly the mother who felt sorry for the little girls, how come the conversation suddenly changed and it became like Bai was secretly complaining?

It seems that Cui is fighting for justice, but in fact, she is making enemies for Bai! How powerful!

Liuyun smiled lightly: "Thank you for your support, mother. Since Liuyun woke up, the girls have taken good care of him. I hope mother will reward him!"

Upon hearing this, Cui just smiled and said nothing, only looking at Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang seemed to have eyes behind her. She stood up and said, "Miss Yun's pulse is stable and she is in good health!"

Liuyun looked at his thin arms and legs, and how pale and skinny he looked. He thought, "Aren't you telling me about my lack of nutrition?"

"That's good! That's good!" Cui pulled Liuyun and said with sympathy: "It's a blessing in disguise. This child is blessed!" She said to an elderly woman behind her: "Madame Wang, bring the things over quickly!"

Nanny Wang was holding a red lacquered wooden tray in her hand with a solemn face. Upon hearing what was said, she walked up to him respectfully and bowed slightly. Cui took out a jade bracelet from the tray and put it on Liuyun's wrist.

Liuyun was skinny and the jade bracelet was huge, so he was afraid that it would fall to the ground.

But the jade bracelet shrank by itself and fit perfectly on the wrist.

Liuyun was secretly surprised, this world is really interesting!
Then he raised his wrist and took a closer look. The bracelet was crystal clear without a trace of impurities. Nebulae could be seen flowing inside, which was very beautiful.

"Don't just stare at it. Why don't you thank your mother?" Bai said.

"Thank you, mother!" Liuyun thanked again.

"What's there to thank me for? I'll be angry if you keep being so polite! Haha! This bracelet originally belonged to this child! We're just returning it to its original owner!" Cui said.

When she stood up again, Liuyun suddenly felt something was wrong. A stream of air was surging in her body, and she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. Her limbs felt weak. She looked at the jade bracelet again and was stunned. Countless transparent silver threads between heaven and earth were slowly injected into the bracelet, and countless silver threads were also extending from her body and injected into the bracelet.

Why is this?

Looking at her stepmother Cui, her biological mother Bai, and the people around them, they were all surrounded by these silver threads, which were slowly injected into the human body through the skin, meridians, and seven orifices.

But they seem to be unable to see!
Spiritual energy enters the body!

Spiritual energy deprivation!

A voice suddenly sounded in my head.

It's Ye Liuyun!

The spiritual energy enters the body. These transparent silver threads are the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. They come from the mysterious heaven and earth, and penetrate into all things in the world between breaths, interlocking and endless! This is the spirit of heaven and earth that my mother talked about!

The spiritual energy is deprived. The spiritual energy that the practitioner has absorbed in large quantities through the mental method is forcibly deprived, which damages the heart meridian and causes all efforts to fail!
These spiritual cultivation techniques suddenly passed through Liuyun's mind. This was the real consciousness of Ye Liuyun! What did she want to express?
Think about it carefully!
Yes!

The only difference between me and them is that the spiritual energy in my body flows backwards into the bracelet. This is spiritual energy deprivation!
So domineering!
This bracelet is not a good one!
"Alas! Look at this child! He was so absorbed in watching, I guess he really forgot!" Cui sighed lightly, with a sad expression, and pulled Liuyun over and said, "This is a gift your mother gave you when you were three years old, a delicate jade bracelet! You have been wearing it all these years. Some time ago, you had an accident, so your mother kept the jade bracelet for you to remember you by her side. Now that you have recovered, I will naturally return it to you!"

Liuyun's limbs were already weak, and when she pulled him like this, he felt his internal organs were in turmoil.

"Good child! Mother knows how difficult your life is. I have tried to persuade your father whenever I had the chance, but mother's words carry little weight and your father never listens. Alas!" Speaking of the sad things, Cui was touched and wiped her eyes.

Then she said to Bai: "In addition to coming to see the child, I also brought this month's allowance of silver, rice and other food. You can go to Liu Ma to get it later. You and the child must take care of your health! As for the master, I will often persuade you and your mother to leave as soon as possible!"

"Sister is so thoughtful!" Bai said.

"Sister, you are still so distant. It makes us seem distant. Okay, now that I have seen the child, I am relieved. I will go back soon! Sister, please stay!"

After some polite exchanges, Cui led a group of maids and servants out of the courtyard in a mighty procession.

With a loud bang.

The gate was locked again.

Liuyun hurriedly took off the bracelet and threw it aside, and only then did he feel his mood gradually calm down.

Bai was puzzled and asked hurriedly, "What is Yun'er doing?"

"Ah?! Uh. Maybe it's because I haven't worn it for a while. Now I feel it's a bit heavy and uncomfortable!"

Regarding the matter of spiritual energy deprivation, it is currently just her guess. Although she is 90% sure, there is no solid evidence. Besides, her mother is weak by nature, so let's put it aside for now and talk about it later!

Bai covered her mouth and chuckled: "Girl, how deep can a bracelet sink you? It must be an excuse!"

"." Liuyun was speechless. This excuse was indeed too fake.

"Well, it's up to you!" Bai tapped Liuyun's forehead affectionately, "Yun'er, mother also has something to give you, but compared to that jade bracelet, it's really..."

Bai took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, folded it neatly, and unfolded it layer by layer. A small and quaint wooden sculpture came into view.

Bai put the wood carving into Liuyun's hands and said, "One year, mother went to the mountains to collect herbs and saved a woman. The woman was seriously injured and there was really no way to save her. She gave this wood carving to mother before she died. A few days ago, you had an accident. Mother was heartbroken, so she put this wood carving in the coffin, thinking that mother was with you. Unexpectedly, you came back to life. Mother thought that maybe this thing was destined to be with you!"

Liuyun took the item and saw that the wood carving was oval in shape, glossy and black in color, antique in style, with a bird carved on the surface, probably a bird, in a ferocious posture, and the word "Xiang Sui" was carved on the back.

"'Xiangsui'! What a good name!" Liuyun grinned, "Thank you, mother. Yun'er likes it!"
