AWB Chapter 38 Spirit Wind Disc
Chapter 38 Spirit Wind Disc
The next morning, sunlight shone on Chongyang Peak.
Xu Xiaoxiao got up early and waited anxiously and excitedly for her senior brother in the courtyard.
She kept thinking: What will a flying artifact look like? Will I be able to learn how to control it quickly?
A moment later, the eldest brother suddenly walked over, holding a disc-shaped magical artifact that emitted a faint blue light.
"Xiaoxiao, this is the 'Spirit Wind Disc,' a flying magical artifact suitable for beginners to control; it's relatively lightweight and agile."
The eldest brother handed her the ritual implement as he spoke.
Xu Xiaoxiao carefully took it and examined it closely. She saw that the plate was covered with exquisite runes. She was overjoyed and said, "Senior Brother, this magic tool is so beautiful. I will definitely study it well."
Seeing her eager expression, the senior brother smiled and said, "Don't rush, let me explain the key points of control first. This Spirit Wind Disc is mainly driven by spiritual power. You need to slowly inject your own spiritual power into it and control its direction and speed through your will..."
Xu Xiaoxiao listened attentively, her eyes fixed on the screen, afraid of missing a single detail.
After the explanation, Xu Xiaoxiao tried standing on the Spirit Wind Disc and infusing it with spiritual power.
However, the Spirit Wind Disc only swayed slightly and did not take off.
She was a little frustrated, but her senior brother encouraged her, saying, "It's normal for a first attempt. Just practice a few more times."
Xu Xiaoxiao was still a little anxious; she didn't want to keep troubling her senior brothers.
The senior brother seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Xiaoxiao, how about I take you to the cafeteria first? You can get a feel for how to control it on the way."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly, stood on her senior brother's flying artifact, and flew towards the cafeteria together.
Along the way, Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the scenery below and secretly vowed to learn how to control the Spirit Wind Disc as soon as possible.
As we approached the cafeteria, the number of people gradually increased.
Just as the eldest disciple was about to lead Xu Xiaoxiao into the cafeteria, a rash outer disciple suddenly rushed over on a flying magical artifact.
The senior disciple reacted quickly, turning aside and using his spiritual power to pull Xu Xiaoxiao to the side. Only then did the disciple realize that he had almost caused trouble and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just learned how to control it and I lost control a bit."
Xu Xiaoxiao was still shaken, while her senior brother frowned and scolded, "How could you handle a magical artifact so recklessly in such a crowded place? What if you hurt someone?"
The disciple obsequiously agreed.
Xu Xiaoxiao thought to herself: I really have to be careful around this cafeteria. It's crowded and chaotic. Once I've learned how to fly, I'll have to be careful too.
Upon entering the cafeteria, Xu Xiaoxiao was attracted by the dazzling array of food.
Looking at all the dishes, she thought to herself: There are so many delicious foods, I must try them all today.
Xu Xiaoxiao said to her senior brother, "Senior brother, all the dishes here look amazing, I don't know which one to choose."
The eldest brother smiled and replied, "You can start with something light, like that spiritual vegetable soup. It tastes delicious and can also enhance your spiritual power."
Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was queuing to get her food, she overheard several disciples whispering, "That's Elder Li's new disciple. She seems to be very favored."
"Yes, even the senior brother personally brought her to the cafeteria."
Xu Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable. She whispered to her senior brother, "Senior brother, they all seem to be talking about me."
The eldest brother comforted him, "Don't worry about it. New faces always attract attention. It will get better with time."
After Xu Xiaoxiao sat down and got her food, she had only taken a few bites when a female disciple came over and said in a seemingly friendly manner, "You must be Xu Xiaoxiao. I am Lin Yue, an outer disciple. I heard that you haven't started fasting yet. Although the food in this canteen is good, eating too much can easily make you fat, which will affect your cultivation."
Xu Xiaoxiao was a little displeased and replied, "I will be careful, thank you for your concern."
But in my heart I was thinking: What's wrong with me having a meal? You're being too nosy.
Seeing this, the eldest brother said to Lin Yue, "Junior Sister Lin, Xiaoxiao can control her own diet, you don't need to say anything more."
Lin Yue snorted and turned to leave.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled gratefully at her senior brother and continued to eat happily, thinking: No matter what others say, I will follow my own pace. I can't let the delicious food go to waste, and I need to eat well to have the energy to cultivate.
Jiang Jingzhi himself had been fasting for many years and didn't have such a great need for food, but he hoped that his junior sister could live according to her own ideas and not care about what others said.
After finishing their meal, Xu Xiaoxiao and her senior brother walked out of the cafeteria.
Xu Xiaoxiao said with some worry, "Senior Brother, am I being too greedy? Will it really affect my cultivation?"
The eldest brother gently shook his head and looked at her tenderly. “Xiaoxiao, the path of cultivation is long, and everyone has their own pace. You don’t need to be swayed by other people’s words. As long as you can balance your diet and cultivation, just do what you feel is right. Although I have been fasting for many years, I understand that food has a special meaning for you. You don’t need to force yourself to fast too early.”
Hearing her senior brother's words, Xu Xiaoxiao's gloom dissipated, and she nodded firmly, "Senior brother, I understand. I will try my best to find a balance."
If she eats too much, she'll practice body-refining techniques more so she won't have to worry about gaining weight. That's settled.
On their way back to the peak, they encountered an elder.
When the elder saw Xu Xiaoxiao, he smiled and said, "Little girl, I heard you've just entered the sect. Are you getting used to the meals in the dining hall?"
My senior brother told me that this elder's surname is Zhu, and he is in charge of the dining hall and spiritual plants.
Xu Xiaoxiao bowed respectfully and replied, "Elder Zhu, the food in the canteen is very good, but I am worried that the food will interfere with my cultivation."
Elder Zhu stroked his beard and said, "It's alright. Moderate eating helps regulate one's mood. As long as you don't become addicted to it, it's fine. It's a good thing that you have this ambition, little one."
Encouraged by Elder Zhu, Xu Xiaoxiao felt much more at ease. She turned to look at her senior brother, her eyes full of gratitude, and he returned an encouraging look.
Back at her lodgings, Xu Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Chu Yi and Chu Er, and said softly, "A lot happened in the cafeteria today, but I won't back down. I will cultivate diligently and also enjoy the delicious food to the fullest."
Chu Yi jumped up and down and said, "Go, Master! No matter what decision you make, we will support you!"
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled happily, silently planning her next training session, while also looking forward to discovering more delicious food in the cafeteria next time she went there.
A few days later, Xu Xiaoxiao encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation and felt somewhat down.
She sat alone in the courtyard, with Chu Yi and Chu Er surrounding her.
The second-year student said softly, "Master, don't be discouraged. The path of cultivation is full of hardships."
Xu Xiaoxiao sighed, "I know, but this bottleneck is hard to break through. Am I too stupid?"
At this moment, the senior brother came over and saw her dejected look. He said, "Junior sister, every cultivator will encounter a bottleneck. Don't easily deny yourself. I was stuck for a long time in the early stages of fasting because I couldn't adapt to the changes in the circulation of spiritual energy. I was just as frustrated as you were at the time. But as long as you calm down and re-examine your cultivation path, you will always find a way to break through."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked up, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Senior Brother, really?"
The senior brother nodded, "Of course, you might as well put aside your anxiety and do something else to relax, such as going to the cafeteria to try some delicious food and change your mindset. You might have an unexpected reward."
Xu Xiaoxiao's heart stirred, thinking that perhaps her senior brother was right.
So Xu Xiaoxiao went to the cafeteria again. While queuing, she was still thinking about cultivation.
When it was her turn to get her food, the cafeteria worker noticed that she seemed distracted and said, "Young lady, you look so worried. Is something bothering you? This spirit rice cake is very sweet. Eating something sweet will cheer you up."
Xu Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle. Please give me one."
She picked up her tray, found a seat, and had just taken a few bites of spirit rice cake when she overheard people nearby discussing that the new disciple trials would begin in a few days and whether they should sign up, thinking they might gain something great. Xu Xiaoxiao was delighted, thinking that going out for a walk really does yield results.
She quickly leaned over and asked, "Senior brothers, could you tell me more about the new disciple trial you just mentioned?"
The disciples were somewhat surprised, but they still shared their thoughts enthusiastically.
Xu Xiaoxiao listened attentively, her heart filled with excitement. She felt that she had found a direction to move forward again and secretly decided to try this new method when she got back, determined to break through the current bottleneck.
