I cut off my love, and my senior brother and master regretted it.

Chapter 25 Black Crescent (Seeking follow-up reading)

In the past, when Ning Ruoxi sank into her mind and sea of ​​consciousness, she did not find any clues, but this time she had spiritual awareness, and she saw Lin Shuang in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Shuang was frozen in the ice. She was lying in a block of ice with her eyes closed, like a holy fairy.

"Master!" Ning Ruoxi called softly, but received no response.

"It seems I have to try practicing the concentration technique."

The art of concentration requires practicing with spiritual consciousness in one's own sea of ​​consciousness, and Ning Ruoxi already has the basic conditions for practice.

She began to silently recite the mind-concentrating technique in her heart, "Everything has its destiny, it is the will of heaven, the soul dies and is reborn, concentrate the mind into the qi point..."

"When the spirit is bright, the light is clear, like the bright moon reflected on a lake. When the spirit is clear, the soul collapses and dies..."

More than ten days have passed.

Ning Ruoxi sat cross-legged above the sea of ​​consciousness. The sea of ​​consciousness was an ocean and the sky was white. She was clearly on the sea, yet she would not sink.

A column of water gushed out from the sea, constantly condensing. The black crescent disappeared from Ning Ruoxi's dantian, and reappeared in Ning Ruoxi's sea of ​​consciousness in an instant.

Under the illumination of the black light, the water column slowly turned into a misty shadow. This shadow was somewhat similar to Ning Ruoxi, but the facial features could not be seen clearly.

Ning Ruoxi tried for a while, and the mist shadow did not change any further, so it seemed like it was over.

"Could this be my soul?" Ning Ruoxi felt very close to this misty shadow, as if she saw another self.

In this case, how can we use the concentration technique to help Lin Shuang recover his soul?
Ning Ruoxi had to figure out everything on her own. Ning Ruoxi came in front of Lin Shuang and placed her hand on the ice that froze Lin Shuang. She activated her mind concentration technique and drew a column of water from her sea of ​​consciousness to pour on the ice.

In just a cup of tea, Ning Ruoxi felt a splitting headache, her entire consciousness was squeezed out of her sea of ​​​​consciousness, and the spiritual power in her body instantly became disordered.

"Puff!" Ning Ruoxi spat out a mouthful of blood, and her vision kept turning black.

Fortunately, a black crescent appeared above Ning Ruoxi's head, and the luster it emitted made her feel much better.

"What is going on? Is there some kind of limitation to the concentration technique? Or has my sea of ​​consciousness reached its threshold?"

Ning Ruoxi returned to the sea of ​​consciousness again, and this time she found that the ice that froze Lin Shuang seemed to have become smaller, and Lin Shuang's face was less pale.

effective!
Ning Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that all her time had not been in vain. She once again used the concentration technique to induce her sea of ​​consciousness to condense a water column, but after trying for a long time, no water column appeared.

"What's going on?" Ning Ruoxi refused to give up. She had finally seen a glimmer of hope, but was it going to be shattered again?
"Disciple, stop it!"

"Master!" Ning Ruoxi heard Lin Shuang's voice and hurriedly looked towards Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang was still frozen in the ice with his eyes closed.

Ning Ruoxi frowned. Why was she hallucinating?
“Disciple, you cannot use the concentration technique forcibly at your current level, otherwise your sea of ​​consciousness will collapse. That’s what happened when I saw you vomiting blood just now.” Lin Shuang sighed.

She hadn't expected to wake up at first, but she didn't expect Ning Ruoxi to have successfully practiced the art of concentrating the mind. This really surprised her.

When Lin Shuang said goodbye to Ning Ruoxi in the depths of Ning Ruoxi's inner demons, Lin Shuang had no intention of letting Ning Ruoxi practice the soul-concentrating technique. Without practicing the soul-concentrating technique in the fusion stage, her sea of ​​consciousness would not be able to withstand the backlash of the soul-concentrating technique, and at best she would become a fool, or die directly.

Ning Ruoxi, by chance, had mastered the art of concentrating the mind during the foundation-building period.

Lin Shuang regained consciousness when Ning Ruoxi vomited blood. Seeing Ning Ruoxi come back to use the soul-condensing technique again, she quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Master, I thought I would fail..." Ning Ruoxi relaxed when she heard Lin Shuang's voice.

"You have already cultivated to the foundation-building stage?" Lin Shuang praised. "According to how long I have been asleep."

Ning Ruoxi calculated the time and said, "About a month and a half!"

"You've reached the foundation-building stage again in just one and a half months?" Lin Shuang's voice was filled with surprise.

"Yes, I thought of using my spiritual consciousness to practice the Concentration Technique during the Foundation Establishment Period, so I went into seclusion to start my breakthrough from the middle stage of Qi Refining."

Ning Ruoxi spoke calmly, as if everything had nothing to do with her, but Lin Shuang could understand the bitterness in it.

"Silly disciple, have you been wronged outside again?"

"I don't seek Master out just because I've been wronged. I just miss Master!"

Although Ning Ruoxi has no romantic ties, she still needs someone to rely on. In the entire world of immortal cultivation, the only person she can rely on the most is Lin Shuang.

In the inner demon illusion, if Lin Shuang had not forced her way in, Ning Ruoxi would probably never be able to get out.

At that moment, Lin Shuang's position in Ning Ruoxi's heart surpassed everything else.

Ning Ruoxi chattered with Lin Shuang about everything that had happened during this period. It was not until Ning Ruoxi mentioned the black crescent rune that Lin Shuang interrupted and asked, "What crescent rune? Let me see."

"Okay!" Ning Ruoxi's mind moved, and a black crescent rune appeared in front of Ning Ruoxi.

After a long while, Lin Shuang spoke again, "The aura on this rune is from the same lineage as your Taiyin Holy Body. It must be the special ability of the Holy Body."

"I guess it's because of the suppression of this rune that you can successfully practice the concentration technique and your sea of ​​consciousness has not collapsed."

"That misty shadow that looks like you is your unformed soul. The soul condensed in the foundation-building stage is truly incredible. Even though I have lived for so many years, I have never seen it before."

"In short, you are not allowed to use the concentration technique before you reach the fusion stage. The risk is too great. Luck played a role in your success this time. If your sea of ​​consciousness collapses, even gods can't save you."

Ning Ruoxi nodded, "Disciple understands."

Lin Shuang paused and said, "Then there is a new problem. You have cultivated so fast. If you go out now, others will definitely find out. This will be very disadvantageous to you!"

"Master, I want to leave Xiandao Sect after you wake up. With you here, I am not afraid of anything."

"It's not the right time yet. Who knows if the people from Wanling Peak will attack you secretly?" Lin Shuang analyzed for Ning Ruoxi.

"Disciple, how about making a big scene?"

"What does Master mean by this?"

"I think you can't hide your talent anymore, so why not just stop hiding it and stay at Tianxiang Peak to cultivate with its resources. Besides, your status as a disciple of Tianxiang Peak can protect you from being harmed by the people of Wanling Peak."

"Disciple will listen to Master." Ning Ruoxi replied.

"But Master, will my Taiyin Sacred Body be discovered by others?"

　Ning Ruoxi has lost her love, her humanity is being annihilated and her divinity is being born. To some extent, Lin Shuang represents the last rationality in Ning Ruoxi's humanity, a contest between divinity and rationality.
