In the following days, Mo Tiange continued to cultivate while curiously trying to find out the secret of the string of glass beads in her hand.
This string of beads didn't look expensive, so no one asked her anything when she wore it on her hand. Those who knew knew that it was her mother's relic, while those who didn't didn't find it strange.
In other words, this string of beads was just ordinary glass beads in other people's eyes.
Mo Tiange recalled her experience that day and thought it was because of her tears, so she rubbed her eyes and let some tears fall on the beads, but there was no reaction.
But apart from that day, there was nothing special.
She stared at the clear glass beads in her hand and sat there in a daze.
These beads felt very cold to the touch, a bit like spiritual aura entering the body.
Apart from that, they were very hard. No matter what she hit them with, there wasn't even a crack.
Unable to think of a reason, she sat cross-legged again, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate.
Spiritual aura had already appeared in her body. She slowly learned to control it according to the instructions in the cultivation technique.
This was the first time she controlled spiritual aura, so she was very powerless.
The spiritual aura roamed around her meridians and dantian, so she couldn't control it at all. She could only guide it to circulate in her body and wait until she slowly adapted to it before continuing to control it.
Now, because there was spiritual aura in her body, she could also feel the spiritual aura outside her body. However, the spiritual aura around her was very thin, almost undetectable.
Therefore, her next cultivation was still useless. She couldn't absorb even a trace of spiritual aura.
Upon realizing this, Mo Tiange stopped cultivating.
Since cultivating was useless, she had to find out the secret of this string of beads first.
She firmly believed that this was a magic weapon her father left behind, so it definitely wasn't an ordinary object. She just didn't know how to use it.
Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. Since it was a magic weapon, she would use her spiritual aura to test it.
With this thought in mind, she continued to cultivate. However, this time, she mobilized her spiritual aura and slowly sent it out.
This required a lot of effort to control the spiritual aura in her body.
When she could barely control her spiritual aura, Mo Tiange was already covered in sweat. However, she didn't plan to rest first. Instead, she began to gather her spiritual aura and sent it out of her body through her meridians.
The moment her spiritual aura touched the glass beads, fear suddenly appeared on her face.
Because she found that her spiritual aura was out of control.
As soon as the spiritual aura touched the pearl bracelet, it crazily flowed into the bead. She couldn't control it at all and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her dantian. It turned out that the spiritual aura that she had gathered with great difficulty was completely absorbed by the bead!
She turned pale with fright. She didn't have time to think. She was in too much pain and lost consciousness.
The coma this time was very short.
When Mo Tiange woke up, the sky was still dark. Only a little moonlight shone through the window.
She sat up, thought of her spiritual aura, and hurriedly began to meditate.
This time, she discovered that not only was the spiritual energy in her Dantian fine, but there was also a little more, although it was very little.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became.
Could it be that this bead needed Spiritual Qi to activate?
Then why did the spiritual aura come out when she didn't do anything that night?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Until she accidentally found that the bead in her hand was shining under the moonlight. She moved the bead under the moonlight.
Sure enough, when the moonlight shone on the bead, it would be a little brighter. Without the moonlight, it would be very dim.
Could it be that the spiritual aura came out that night because of the moonlight?
With a target in mind, it was easy to verify.
Mo Tiange spent several days experimenting and found that the bead would be covered with a layer of hazy light under the moonlight. If she looked carefully, it seemed to be a layer of white gas.
After a while, the bead would slowly dim. At that time, if she held the bead, it would produce spiritual aura and enter her body.
It seemed that the bead absorbed the moonlight, transformed it into spiritual aura, and passed it to her.
She tried not to absorb the moonlight and carefully transferred a very small amount of spiritual aura. Sure enough, before long, the spiritual aura slowly returned to her body, and there was a little more of it.
She was very happy to verify this idea.
This bead seemed to be able to collect spiritual aura. Now, she could use this bead to cultivate without worrying about spiritual aura!
After understanding the use of the bead, Mo Tiange's cultivation speed became faster and faster.
With an excellent cultivation technique, a source of spiritual aura, and diligent daily cultivation, the spiritual aura in her body kept increasing.
There were no more than three people who understood the changes in her.
One was Aunt Lin. She helped Aunt Lin work every day, and it became easier and faster.
Another was Tianqiao. At first, she was shorter than Tianqiao by a head and a lot thinner, but gradually, she became as tall as Tianqiao.
The last one was the Old Master. Sometimes, when she couldn't understand one or two lines of a cultivation technique, she would ask the Old Master. The Old Master would explain it to her word by word, but he never asked her where she got it from.
Sometimes, when he looked at her, his gaze contained a lot of complicated emotions. It seemed to be gratification, but it also seemed to be sighing.
Just like that, she gradually stopped thinking about her mother and her current situation. She just read, worked, and cultivated day after day.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
In these three years, Mo Tiange grew a lot. She was now even a bit taller than Tianqiao. Her figure was no longer weak, her face was fair, and her facial features were more distinct.
She used to be a delicate and pretty child, but because she didn't have enough food and water all year round, she was sallow and emaciated.
Now, her complexion was fair, her skin was smooth, and her temperament seemed to be full of vigor. At first glance, she looked extraordinary.
In these three years, she read all the books in the library, so she didn't need to go to school anymore. As for Tianqiao, under her aunt's request, she no longer went to school. Instead, she learned how to cook as a female worker every day.
Although her aunt didn't teach her at the same time, Mo Tiange became very sensitive because of her cultivation. She learned faster than Tianqiao even though she watched from the side.
Gradually, her aunt told her that she no longer needed to help Aunt Lin work. Instead, she had to accompany Tianqiao and learn how to cook as a female worker, giving Tianqiao pointers from time to time.
These things were only embellishments in her life. Cultivating every night was the most important thing to her.
In these three years, she understood the string of beads better and better, and cultivating became easier and easier.
After cultivating for a year, more and more spiritual energy gathered in her dantian. Suddenly, there was a strange change. All the meridians in her body seemed to have been opened up. The spiritual energy circulated in her body and settled down in her dantian, no longer drifting erratically.
Based on the cultivation technique, she knew she finally entered the threshold of cultivation and reached the first layer of the Aura Refining realm.
In the following two years, she continued to cultivate without stopping. In these past few days, she felt she had reached another boundary and was about to make a breakthrough.
