Among the mountains and rivers, there was a faint mist in the air. There was a lake in the distance.
A person was staring blankly at the lake with a pair of lifeless eyes.
After a long time, that person's eyes regained their liveliness.
"Where is this?" Ren Baqian looked at his surroundings and was at a loss.
He should have been in the palace, right? Why did he appear here? Did he transmigrate again?
Ren Baqian quivered at the thought of this possibility. He had just gained a foothold in Dayao. If he transmigrated to an unfamiliar world and started from scratch, others might be happy, but he wasn't happy at all.
The scenery here was very familiar.
Ren Baqian suddenly looked around and this thought popped up in his mind.
Déjà vu.
It was as if he had seen it in a dream.
Everyone had such moments. When they experienced something or arrived at a certain place, they would feel very familiar, as if they had experienced it before.
If they thought about it carefully, they would realize that they had seen it in their dreams.
Ren Baqian felt this way at this moment.
He took a few steps forward to the lakeside and a gust of water vapor directly hit his face.
Ren Baqian suddenly remembered when he had seen this place. This was the first image in [Ruyi Visualization].
That lake, that tree, they were all things he had seen in [Ruyi Visualization].
Was he at the beginner level? He visualized the first image?
According to what [Ruyi Visualization] said, he was now in his mind?
Ren Baqian was ecstatic at the thought of this and couldn't help but shout. He actually succeeded, he really succeeded.
The method that the monk mentioned was indeed useful.
Ren Baqian was ecstatic for a long time before sitting on the ground.
He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He had been very worried about what would happen if he really couldn't cultivate.
Perhaps the empress would really think of a way for him to snatch it from somewhere else. But the storm and carnage that would arise was foreseeable. The empress didn't care, but what about the other people in Dayao's imperial court?
What would be waiting for him in the end? Ren Baqian didn't dare to think too deeply.
Now, he finally didn't have to think about it anymore. In any case, he had finally mastered it.
As long as he mastered it, there wouldn't be too many obstacles in the future with the help of medicinal herbs. At most, he would need to spend more medicinal herbs and some time.
As for combat effectiveness, he didn't care.
After letting his imagination run wild for half a day, Ren Baqian suppressed his excitement and ecstasy. He recited a section of the "Heart Sutra" to calm himself down.
He walked into the middle of the lake. The water was very cold, causing him to shiver a little. However, he endured it and swam towards the center of the lake with all his might.
When he reached the center of the lake, he dove into the bottom of the lake.
After a long time, Ren Baqian woke up with a start and realized that he was in a room in Pingxin Park. Following which, he felt dizzy and his vision turned black. He couldn't help but throw himself onto the bed.
After an unknown period of time, Ren Baqian woke up from his sleep and felt a little better.
Although he still had a headache, it was not as severe as before.
Previously, he had plunged fifteen meters into the lake before he could no longer hold on and woke up.
According to the [Ruyi Visualization], the [Visualization of Water] could only be considered complete if one could reach the bottom of the lake.
He didn't know how long it would take for him to reach that level, but the most important hurdle had already been overcome. He would be able to reach it sooner or later.
At the thought of this, Ren Baqian felt somewhat excited. Looking at the color of the sky outside, it should be afternoon and there was still some time before sunset.
Ren Baqian wanted to look for the empress to report the good news. After all, in this world, other than the empress, there was no one else he could share his joy with.
However, before he stepped out of the door, he could smell the rancid odor on his body. He didn't know how long it had been since he last bathed and he hadn't even changed his clothes. These days, he had been focusing on the [Ruyi Visualization] and didn't pay attention to other things.
At the same time, he also noticed that there was a set of food on the table. He didn't know when it was sent over, but it looked like it hadn't been touched.
Initially, he didn't notice it, but when he saw the food, he immediately felt that his stomach was about to bulge. He ate a few mouthfuls. Although it was cold, it could at least fill his stomach.
However, when he picked up the bowl, he felt that there was something wrong with his movements. It seemed that his movements were somewhat uncoordinated, which made him feel a little awkward.
Ren Baqian was a little suspicious. After doing a few more movements, he realized that his movements seemed to be a little faster. Originally, an action that took two seconds to complete now only required one second. His habit was to complete this action in two seconds. He always felt that it was very strange.
Other than that, Ren Baqian did a few more movements, but he didn't notice any other changes.
"It seems that this is the effect of [Ruyi Visualization]," Ren Baqian thought to himself. Although the effect was a little too fast, it was still a good thing.
Soon after, Ren Baqian went to the side to take a bath. Not to mention shower gel, there wasn't even soap in this world.
He used a type of tree ash. After applying a layer of it on his body, he washed it off with water. The effect was similar to that of soap. In the past, he had never taken a bath after returning to Earth. Therefore, he didn't have much demand for this aspect. At this moment, he felt that it would be better if he could make soap.
However, this wasn't a problem for the time being. It was better to meet the empress first.
Before leaving the house, he shaved his beard and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. Other than his hair being slightly longer, there were no other problems. Only then did he leave the house.
When he saw the imperial guard at the door, Ren Baqian casually asked, "How long have I been in seclusion?"
"Twenty-three days," that imperial guard replied quickly.
"Thank you very much."
"So it has been so long, but it's still acceptable." As Ren Baqian thought about it, he suddenly thought of a problem. It seemed that the last time he went back was in late November. Over twenty days had passed and he had been on Earth for more than two months. It should be around February now.
These two months, he didn't have any contact with his family at all. He was afraid that his family was worried.
According to his calculations, he should be back tonight. At that time, he had to quickly contact his mother. Otherwise, she would go crazy. Furthermore, it seemed that it was almost New Year. He didn't know which date it was and whether he could spend it at home.
Along the way, he arrived at the door of the empress's palace and said to the imperial guard, "Ren Baqian seeks an audience with Her Majesty. Please inform her of my arrival."
A moment later, Ren Baqian strode into the palace. The empress was eating fruits and didn't even look at him.
Hong Luan and Qing Yuan were laughing secretly at the back. Previously, Her Majesty asked about him every day. Now that he was here, Her Majesty acted as if she didn't see him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Ren Baqian greeted the empress not far away.
Only then did the empress raise her head to look at him. She casually threw the fruit core onto a plate at the side, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked, "Why are you out? Have you mastered [Ruyi Visualization]? "
While she was asking, her eyes were sizing up Ren Baqian. She wanted to see how his cultivation was progressing.
Very quickly, the empress realized that Ren Baqian's blood and qi seemed to have become slightly stronger.
It wasn't big, but to an expert like her, it was still very easy to detect.
Especially when Ren Baqian was visualizing [Ruyi Visualization] previously, he practically didn't eat much. According to the imperial guard, he was getting weaker day by day. However, at this moment, she couldn't see it from his body.
Naturally, the imperial guard couldn't lie to her. In that case, Ren Baqian had really mastered [Ruyi Visualization].
But even so, the effect was a little too fast.
This was because humans could only rely on food and medicine to replenish their blood and qi. But if he didn't eat food and medicine were also useless, how could his blood and qi recover? Even if Ren Baqian had mastered [Ruyi Visualization], his body shouldn't be like it was now.
Ren Baqian cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, I was lucky enough to master it."
While speaking, there was a look of joy on his face.
