Su Xiangfei fell into silence. He didn't follow Tan Xiu to work but went out to work alone. Although it was very difficult to make a living outside, he found a job to support himself and save some money.
He actually had complicated feelings toward Tan Xiu. He despised Tan Xiu and was hostile toward Tan Xiu at first. Even after the upheaval in his family, he was full of hatred toward Tan Xiu. But ever since he came to his senses, the hatred and hostility he had toward Tan Xiu had disappeared despite the pain and regret he felt.
He was willing to treat Tan Xiu as his family, but he couldn't do it for Tan Xiu at the moment. If there were outsiders who bullied Tan Xiu, he, as Tan Xiu's cousin, naturally had the obligation to stand up and face it together with him.
Tan Xiu looked at Su Xiangfei. Although he had guessed that such a situation would happen, he was still a bit disappointed. However, he still had a way out. He said in a deep voice, "It's fine if you can't do it now, Su Xiangfei. But if I can give you something, will you make a decision?"
"What is it?" asked Su Xiangfei with slightly furrowed brows.
"I can give you money if you want it. I can give you power if you want it. I can do everything I can to help you find women if you want it," said Tan Xiu solemnly. "Even if you want strength, I can bestow it to you. If you want immortality, I can bestow it to you."
Immortality?
Su Xiangfei looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression and couldn't help laughing. "Don't joke with me."
Tan Xiu snorted coldly. Under Su Xiangfei's watchful eyes, his feet slowly floated up. When he floated two to three meters above the ground, he slowly spread his arms and the surrounding stones weighing tens of kilograms and even hundreds of kilograms floated up. In just a few seconds, hundreds of stones floated around Tan Xiu.
"Did … did I see a ghost?"
Su Quan retreated a few steps. After stabilizing his body, he desperately rubbed his eyes and muttered with a face full of shock.
Su Ben's eyes widened in disbelief. His heartbeat sped up, and his blood flowed faster. He was frightened by the strange scene in front of him.
Su Xiangfei was stunned. He looked at Tan Xiu as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at the stones floating around Tan Xiu. He had imagined countless times that he would one day become a superman, able to fly in the sky, burrow into the ground, and move mountains and seas. He had even imagined himself to be the main character in the scene before him.
But …
When his fantasy became reality, the impact was too great for him, so great that he was terrified.
Tan Xiu looked down at Su Xiangfei and said in a deep voice, "I've only shown a very small part of my abilities. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it, so I just used a little trick. If you're willing to sell your lives to me and become my most trusted people in this life, I can give you abilities that are countless times more powerful than this. At that time, let alone standing in the air and controlling some stones, you can even stand in the vast universe and control a planet. It'll be a piece of cake for you. "
Su XiangFei opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat.
"Tan Xiu, are you … are you a celestial being?" Su Quan suddenly shouted.
Tan Xiu burst into laughter upon hearing it. "Celestial being? Perhaps one day in the future, all the Gods and Buddhas in the Heavens will not be my match. You're not wrong to call me that. "
Su Quan's expression rapidly changed. A look of ecstasy burst out of his eyes as he shouted, "Tang Xiu, my life is yours from now on. As long as you can … can make me as powerful as you!"
Su Ben didn't speak, but he clenched his fists and a firm look burst from his eyes.
Su Xiangfei's heart was thumping. With a yearning look on his face, he loudly said, "Tan Xiu, I want my parents to celebrate the New Year with us this year. If you can do it, I, Su Xiangfei, am willing to sell my life to you. I'll do whatever you want me to do."
"No problem." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "I guarantee that your parents will return to the Su Family Village before the New Year."
Tan Xiu waved his arm and hundreds of stones smashed toward the lake 100 meters away. Along with the sound of the stones falling into the water, Tan Xiu's feet stepped on the ground again and said, "I'll teach you a cultivation technique tonight and help you step into the threshold of cultivation."
Shortly after …
Tan Xiu took the three of them to the outside of the stone forest and said in a deep voice, "Remember, this stone forest is strange. Ordinary people will definitely get lost inside if they inadvertently break into it. This is, in fact, a naturally formed stone array with a hallucinatory effect. You must clearly look at the place where I step and carefully follow me step by step. "
"What is a stone array?" Asked Su Quan curiously. "Is it like the Heavenly Gate Array in the TV series, The Generals of the Yang Family?"
Tan Xiu thought for a moment and said, "You can understand it that way. If ordinary people rashly break into this stone array, they will get lost inside. It's just like walking in a maze. I'm afraid they won't be able to come out again in their lifetime. "
"Do you know about arrays, Tan Xiu?" Asked Su Quan in shock.
"I know a bit," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile.
Suddenly, not only Su Quan, but even Su Ben and Su Xiangfei looked at Tan Xiu with worship in their eyes. They didn't know how Tan Xiu became so powerful, but the means Tan Xiu had shown before had convinced them.
Soon after, the four of them came to the vicinity of the Stone Forest Spirit Spring.
Tan Xiu squatted down beside the Spirit Spring. His fingers gently stroked the Spirit Spring water that was emitting white smoke, feeling the spiritual force rushing into his body. He faintly smiled, got up and turned to look at the other three, saying, "I think you all know the meaning of washing the marrow and meridians! This is a Spirit Spring, also known as the Earth Vein Dragon Spring. If a cultivator were to cultivate here, they would get twice the result with half the effort. If an ordinary person were to cultivate here, it would also have an excellent effect on their body. At least, they wouldn't catch a cold or have a fever for several years. However, if an ordinary person were to soak in this Spirit Spring, they would die without a doubt. As for you all, you will soak in here tonight to wash your marrow and meridians, establishing your cultivation foundation. "
"We haven't started cultivating yet, Tan Xiu. Didn't you say that ordinary people will die inside?" Asked Su Quan in horror. "Then why are you still …"
"The ones who will die are those who don't know how to cultivate," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "I'll teach you the cultivation technique before letting you enter."
Subsequently, Tan Xiu spent more than two hours explaining the human body's meridians and acupoints to the three, forcing them to memorize all the meridians and acupoints he explained. Afterward, Tan Xiu taught the three an ordinary cultivation technique in the Immortal World.
"Washing the marrow and meridians will be very painful at first, and it's very difficult for people without great perseverance to bear it. But if you want to become a superior person in the future and have the ability to fly in the sky and dive into the earth, you must endure it no matter how painful it is, "said Tan Xiu seriously.
The three nodded heavily.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Take off all your clothes and enter the Spirit Spring. Remember, follow the cultivation technique I just taught you and silently feel it according to the cultivation route. Try to control it. If anyone can't bear it, tell me immediately. "
Su Ben directly took off his clothes and was the first to jump into the Spirit Spring. Along with an extremely comfortable moan, Su Quan and Su Xiangfei also jumped into the Spirit Spring. The mouth of the Spirit Spring was not big. After the three jumped in, they had occupied two-thirds of the area inside.
"It's amazing. It actually made us float."
Said Su Quan in shock.
Tan Xiu faintly smiled. The spiritual force of the Earth Vein was in a liquid state, and its floating strength was very high. Let alone humans, it could even make a boulder weighing a thousand pounds float.
"Concentrate your mind and meditate according to the cultivation route."
The three of them began to silently feel the Qi in their meridians according to Tan Xiu's instruction. In just a few seconds, they were in an extremely comfortable state. They could even feel the sweat pores all over their body stretching out and countless warm air currents gushing into their bodies. Along with the feeling of itchiness appearing in their bodies, a trace of oppressive feeling was immediately followed by a faint pain and then an intense pain.
It was so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
Gradually, they felt as if their bodies were being torn apart by countless forces. That heart-wrenching pain made them scream out in pain.
"Endure it and meditate according to the cultivation route. Remember, this is a test of your willpower. It will bring you endless benefits in the future. Concentrate, concentrate. "Tan Xiu stood on the side and shouted in a deep voice.
Time passed.
The screams continued to rise and fall. The bodies of the three people kept spasming in the Spirit Spring. Their veins bulged and their skin turned blood red. Like a newborn mouse, the blood vessels in their body could be seen clearly. Under this painful torture, the physique of the three people was rapidly strengthening.
"I feel it!"
Su Quan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in ecstasy.
Tan Xiu angrily shouted: "Shut up, continue to feel and try to control it."
Hearing this, Su Quan was suddenly shocked and then calmed down again.
The night receded and the day came. The three people were still soaking in the Spirit Spring. They had already adapted to the pain. Even if they wanted to jump out, in order to become as powerful as Tan Xiu said, they still persisted.
Whoosh!
A chaotic force was released by Tan Xiu and wrapped around the bodies of the three people. Tan Xiu pulled the three out of the Spirit Spring and then hit their sleeping acupoints. After a night of painful torture, a night of mental consumption, the three people had reached their limit. Tan Xiu needed to let them rest and restore their mental strength.
At noon, Tan Xiu woke the three people up and threw them into the Spirit Spring again. When night fell, he dragged the three of them out again. Then he let them rest and threw them into the Spirit Spring again.
As time passed, the four people did not know that because of their disappearance, the Su Family Village had been in chaos. Even the people from the Public Security Department arrived and organized a large number of people to enter the mountain range.
At this time, it was already the night of New Year's Eve.
