That night.
Nie Qian knew that Nie Tian had suffered too much in the past two days, so she told him to rest early, and left after Nie Donghai.
In the silent night, Nie Tian couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't help but sit upright on the bed, running the Qi Refining Technique and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.
Thin bits of spiritual energy, following Nie Tian's breath, were absorbed into the Dantian spiritual sea from the outside world.
Nie Tian checked his consciousness internally and could clearly feel that after the strands of spiritual energy were sucked into his dantian, it was very different from usual.
In the past, when he was practicing the Qi Refining Technique, he would find that most of the spiritual energy was not introduced into the Dantian, but spread over the flesh, flesh and limbs.
This time, his flesh and blood and internal organs seemed to have absorbed enough power and did not forcefully seize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth incorporated by the Qi Refining Technique.
While he was practicing with concentration, he could vaguely hear the cheers of flesh and blood.
"it's wired… "
In a daze, his spiritual consciousness quietly transferred from the spiritual sea in his dantian to his flesh and blood.
Little bits of strange light, in his perception, seemed to suddenly grow from the blood in his body, flickering quietly.
At that moment, his soul seemed to be violently pulled into the blood, and his whole person became more and more confused.
"boom!"
After a strange roar, Nie Tian, who was practicing, felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an ancient dream!
In the unknown world where ancient trees flourish, giant peaks reach into the sky, and in the depths of the void, huge demonic shadows appear.
On the vast expanse of land, there are groups of giants, carrying giant black trees hundreds of meters high, strutting and singing desolate ancient tunes.
A mountain thousands of meters high was surrounded by a giant snake with shining silver scales. At a glance, the giant snake and the mountain seemed to be one.
The giant snake vomited toward the stars and the moon that filled the sky, and the stars and moonlight poured down like flowing water, seeming to have all merged into the snake's body.
In the cloud-shrouded sky, there is a majestic and majestic palace, galloping in the light of thunder and lightning.
From the depths of the earth, there was a violent and terrifying roar. Following the roar, the earth cracked, opening up deep and bottomless ravines.
Black and purple smoke, mixed with ghosts and ghosts, curled up from the ground deep in the ravine.
One by one, figures rushed into the sky from the distant horizon. Those figures had huge gray wings, and they could fly hundreds of miles with a single flap of the wings.
Scenes of incredible scenes flashed one by one in Nie Tian's dream.
Nie Tian seemed to be brought into an ancient mysterious world, peering at the miracles between heaven and earth as a bystander.
"Hoo ho!"
After an unknown amount of time, Nie Tian gasped violently and suddenly woke up from his dream.
He was sweating profusely and felt extremely exhausted. He couldn't even move his fingers.
"What a magical dream! What a magical world!"
Looking at the flickering candlelight in the room, his eyes were as bright as stars, and an excited look of great longing appeared on his face.
During the long night, he no longer felt sleepy at all, as if he was completely immersed in the previous dream and unwilling to come out.
It wasn't until the night receded and the cockcrow sounded that he suddenly felt sleepy and truly fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Nie Donghai took the initiative to invite the elders of the Nie family. In the meeting hall of the Nie family, in front of the elders of the direct and collateral clans of the Nie family, he announced that he was mentally weak and gave up his position as the head of the family.
"Brother, you can rest assured that the Nie family will definitely be able to regain its glory under my leadership!" Nie Beichuan vowed.
"I believe you have this ability." Nie Donghai nodded lightly, and then slowly walked out of the meeting hall under the gaze of the elders of the Nie family.
"Dad..." Nie Qian, who had been waiting for a long time outside the hall, hesitated to speak.
She could see that when Nie Donghai left the hall, there was deep reluctance in his eyes.
Nie Donghai has been suffering from illness for many years, and has lost the majesty he once had. Now that he has retired from the position of head of the family, he seems to have suddenly aged a few years, and his whole person seems a little depressed.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Nie Donghai forced a smile, "I'm tired. Those clan elders have lost their patience over the years. If I continue to occupy that position, it will only bring us more troubles. Trouble. That’s fine. From now on, I can focus all my energy on Nie Tian.”
"I only hope that before I die, Nie Tian can gain the favor of the Lingyun Sect and be able to enter the Lingyun Sect to practice."
"That is my last expectation and luxury for the rest of my life."
In the hall, there was no end to the hustle and bustle, as many elders of the Nie family congratulated Nie Beichuan.
Listening to Nie Beichuan's proud laughter and the flattering voices of the clan elders, Nie Qian became increasingly upset and muttered softly: "Before dad was not injured, the faces of those clan elders were all different. , it’s exactly the same as when I treat my second uncle now. Times have changed, and now that my father has come out, no one comes to even say a word of comfort. "
"Life is like this. I have already seen it through. When you are proud, everyone will naturally get close to you. Once you lose power, there will be no one around, and everyone will stay away from you." Nie Donghai shook his head in despair, "Let's go, ignore them, go see Nie Damn that boy."
"I hope Nie Tian can give us a break!" Nie Qian said bitterly.
She knew very well that now Nie Donghai had placed all his expectations on Nie Tian.
If Nie Tian can show extraordinary talents in his cultivation, Nie Donghai may be able to rekindle the fire of hope in his heart. Even if it is difficult for him to achieve success in cultivation, as long as he watches Nie Tian become stronger day by day, he I can persevere and live well.
Nie Tian is now his entire spiritual support.
When Nie Donghai and Nie Qian came to Nie Tian's side, they found that Nie Tian was still sleeping soundly.
"He has been suffering a lot these days. This child... is not easy. Let's wait for him to wake up." Nie Donghai looked deeply at Nie Tian and said softly.
"Yeah." Nie Qian said heartbroken.
The night was getting dark, and Hua Mu, the doctor who left yesterday, came as promised.
"Mr. Hua, the wooden bucket and hot water are ready. Please continue to use your skills to help this child get rid of the root cause of the disease." Nie Donghai said respectfully.
"That's natural." Hua Mu nodded slightly, "You all can go out. There's no need to wake him up."
Nie Donghai and Nie Qian walked out as they were told, and just like yesterday, they waited outside the house, waiting quietly.
After they left, Hua Mu took out the bottles and cans from his small medicine box and poured them into the hot water in the wooden barrel, just like yesterday.
After everything was ready, he carefully picked up the sleeping Nie Tian and gently placed him in the barrel.
After being soaked in Nie Tian, the hot water in the barrel once again reached the ignition point and boiled suddenly.
Nie Tian looked like a cooked prawn, his whole body was red, and he couldn't help but scream in pain.
Surprisingly, he did not have a high fever today, but once he entered the barrel, he was still unconscious.
Hua Mu released a faint light curtain, isolating his voice, and with green will-o'-the-wisps flickering in his eyes, he still stared at Nie Tian quietly.
When the turbid potion in the barrel became clear again, Hua Mu returned to normal, the light curtain in the room disappeared, and Nie Tiancai slowly woke up.
"Thank you, Mr. Hua." Nie Tian opened his eyes and immediately felt that his whole body was full of strength, without any trace of fatigue.
Hua Mu nodded, "I'll come back tomorrow." After saying that, he carried the medicine box and left Nie's house without paying attention to Nie Donghai and Nie Qian's sincere thanks.
In the following days, when Nie Tian practiced every night, he would inexplicably fall into dreams, peering into all kinds of unbelievable miracles in the unknown world.
Every time my son wakes up from a dream, he is so exhausted that he often falls asleep again at dawn.
Hua Mu, on the other hand, came on time every night and used strange concoction to make Nie Tian miserable.
The last day.
Nie Tian's whole body turned red, he jumped out of the barrel with clear water, and respectfully thanked Hua Mu.
Hua Mu looked indifferent and asked casually, "Have you been dreaming every day recently?"
"How do you know?" Nie Tian asked in surprise.
"I know the reason for your sudden illness." Hua Mu pondered for a moment and deliberately lowered his voice, "Don't talk about this to anyone, including your grandfather and aunt."
"Why?" Nie Tian was confused.
"Don't ask why, as long as you promise me, I will give you an elixir. That elixir can keep your grandpa alive for ten more years." Hua Mu said seriously.
"Okay!" Nie Tian agreed in surprise.
No need for others to say anything, he could tell from Nie Donghai's condition that Nie Donghai's time was running out.
Nie Donghai's deteriorating body has always been a demon in his heart. He has long secretly vowed that when he becomes stronger, the first thing he will do is to help Nie Donghai search for good medicine.
"That elixir cannot help your grandfather recover from serious injuries. It can only be used to extend his life. You must understand this." Hua Mu explained.
"I understand." Nie Tian took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said seriously: "Ten years! I will do my best within ten years to help him escape from the sea of suffering!"
"It's good that you have such ambition." Hua Mu reached out his hand, patted his shoulder gently, and said meaningfully: "We will meet again."
