So it turns out Di Pi and the others were looking for me. All three of them had noticed my unease throughout yesterday, and by this morning, they realized I wasn't in my bed. Jia Wuqing even went to the cafeteria but couldn't find any trace of me. Worried, he started shouting and searching, which naturally drew a lot of attention. Although I felt good about this, I still felt a bit wronged when the three of us received a scolding from the teacher. However, my heart felt warm, and I could feel my spirit in the sea of consciousness strengthening slightly. Is this what cultivating the mind is? Of course, the first thing they noticed when they found me was my strangeness, as I had two streaks of black tears on my face. Perhaps it was because I had undergone two purifications. The third one mainly targeted the divine soul in the sea of consciousness, so the impurities in the divine soul were expelled through the most recent route—the tear ducts. I was laughed at for this, but this image actually reminded me of a song I understood in my past life. Coupled with my feelings over the past two days, it fits the experience quite well. Perhaps one day, I can introduce the golden hits from my past life as a form of culture to the world. At least it would give my soul a place to rest. However, I've decided to keep the matter of the third purification a secret. Condensing two dantians has already caused a stir. I need to keep more trump cards for myself, as the dangers in this world don't just come from beasts. The insights from the Tao Te Ching can gradually refine the divine soul and expand the sea of consciousness. With the current cultivation methods, it's just absorbing spiritual energy and gathering it in the opened dantian. There's no circulation method, just simple absorption and compression.

You all currently believe that due to the loss of culture and history, opening just one dantian is enough. In reality, the human body has three dantians: the Upper Dantian - the Sea of Consciousness, located in the Mud Palace within the brain. The Middle Dantian - the Sea of Qi, located at the Tanzhong acupoint in the chest. The Lower Dantian - the Reservoir of Essence, located four inches below the navel. They correspond to Essence, Qi, and Spirit respectively. The Upper Dantian stores Spirit, the Middle Dantian stores Qi, and the Lower Dantian condenses Essence. Only by opening all three dantians and undergoing three purifications of meridians and marrow can one ascend the Great Dao and embark on the path of cultivation. However, opening the three dantians becomes more perilous with each attempt. Your Upper Dantian could be opened thanks to your two lifetimes, giving your soul power far beyond that of ordinary people, but it was still fraught with danger. Now, I will impart the cultivation technique - the Tao Te Ching. I hope you complete your mission soon. Remember, cultivating your character is more important than your cultivation level. Understanding, feeling, and seeing clearly will allow you to go further. The senior's voice gradually faded, but in my mind... no, in my Sea of Consciousness, a scroll floated, like bamboo slips from my past life, showing only the beginning. "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught by desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery." I gazed at the Tao Te Ching in my Sea of Consciousness. Although I could only see the first passage, I felt a sense of clarity wash over my mind. But before I could feel more, I heard someone below continuously calling my name.

The second classmate who left, on the night he departed, I went up to the dormitory rooftop alone while Di Pi and the other two were fast asleep. I felt a bit sad. In both my past and present lives, I had never been so close to the passing of a human life. Just the day before, he had greeted me, and the next day, I heard the tragic news. This matter was somewhat difficult for me to bear. Looking up at the starry sky, there was no moonlight tonight, but there was an endless expanse of stars. Fortunately, it was within the academy, so there was no light pollution at night, allowing for a clear view of the vastness of the cosmos. Slowly, under the starry sky, my mind gradually emptied, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge into my body again. This time, it was my brain. The danger here was self-evident, yet I didn't resist. According to the information I privately inquired about from Wen Yue. The place where that classmate first absorbed spiritual energy was precisely his head. Within just a few minutes, he passed away, without pain. I clearly felt the direction of the surging spiritual energy, but I didn't stop it, because I wanted to help that classmate continue living. I felt the coolness of the spiritual energy, but this time it felt like needle pricks, directly pouring into my brain. Until the inside of my brain roared, as if something was being directly pierced, and then I fainted. "Kid, congratulations. You've successfully opened the three great dantians and connected the bridge between heaven and earth." "Senior, is that you?" "Yes. This time, you've successfully opened the bridge between heaven and earth, allowing me to use the power you've condensed to contact you again. Time is short, so listen carefully."

Shen Li's best friend gave her a music box made of wood, with an exquisite ballerina carved on the lid. "Happy birthday," her friend said with a smile. "I found it at an antique shop. The owner said it was one of a kind." Shen Li liked it very much and placed it on her bedside table. After winding it up, the music box played an unfamiliar melody, and the ballerina began to spin slowly. That night, she dreamed of a little girl sitting by her bed, playing with the music box. The girl looked up. Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, but her eyes were two black holes. "This is mine," the girl said. "Your friend stole it." Shen Li woke up with a start. The music box was still playing, and the ballerina was still spinning. But she clearly remembered that the music box had already been unwound before she fell asleep. The next day, she asked her friend. The friend hesitated, then finally admitted she bought it from an old toy store. The owner said it was the last one, and the original owner didn't want it anymore. "Which owner?" "The owner didn't say. He just said it belonged to a little girl who lived nearby a long time ago." Shen Li felt a chill run down her spine and wanted to throw the music box away. But every time she threw it away, it would return on its own, placed on her bedside table, wound up, playing its melody. On the fifth night, she dreamed the girl was sitting on her chest, holding a small knife. "You threw me away four times," the girl said. "Each time you threw me away, I carved a cut on you." Shen Li looked down and found four shallow scratches on her arm, as if made by fingernails. "The fifth time," the girl said, raising the knife, "I'll carve your face to look like mine." Shen Li woke up screaming and rushed to her bedside table, clutching the music box to her chest.

Only I and the non-teaching staff without classes saw him off. Under the guise of going to the restroom, I secretly ran to the top of the teaching building and quietly watched in the direction of the school gate. He was carried away covered in a white sheet. Looking at the grieving middle-aged couple and the faculty members comforting them, I knew that among my peers, only I knew that he... had failed. It was then that I finally understood. What Wen Yue told me wasn't data, statistics, or unrelated documents, but a bloody reality. So this was the first major hurdle in cultivation. Those who couldn't overcome it could only turn to dust.

"Swordsmanship emphasizes four basic techniques: slashing, thrusting, sweeping, and twirling. First, practice slashing. Slashing requires powerful force, but you should only use seventy percent of your strength, leaving thirty percent. Thrusting is a technique often used with small blades, with force directed to the tip in a straight line. Sweeping is a wide, horizontal swing, covering a larger area but lacking in power. Twirling involves the flexible use of the wrist, making the blade rotate like a wheel. It's a fundamental skill for training wrist and body coordination. First, train these four basic skills. Once your weapon is crafted, you can try other techniques." And so, for this month, besides my basic courses and meditating to absorb spiritual energy, I spent my time constantly swinging my sword and sweating. A month later, a change arrived, as the second person to successfully sense spiritual energy appeared. Just as I thought the Black Ghost incident was about to repeat itself, there was no news the next day. Moreover, that student was in the combat class. He left school. Yes, not dropped out, not disappeared, but his parents came to the academy and took him back. No other students saw him off, as everything was done silently, without any announcement, only rumors circulated.

However, this time the black mud and stench weren't as exaggerated as in the afternoon, but they were still unbearable. So, my roommates, unable to sleep, started trying to meditate, hoping to achieve the same purification as me. After all, they were envious of the physical fitness I displayed after my purification. Of course, I couldn't guide them through the subsequent steps, as I knew it was very dangerous and I couldn't teach it. So they just tried to feel it, but after a whole night, there was no progress. Then, for the next month, besides attending regular classes, I focused on sensing and absorbing external spiritual energy. Naturally, I reported the new nebula vortex that condensed in my lower abdomen that night to Wen Yue. The result was... being reprimanded throughout the entire combat skills class, and it also caused a stir among the teachers privately. Because usually there's only one, and although there are three possible locations for condensation, most people only have one in the lower abdomen, with a very small number having it in the brain, in the position of the 'Niwan Palace' in ancient human anatomy. And I managed to condense two, which was urgently reported to the national education department. Meanwhile, our class's class leader selection was completed. Hou Taotao became the class leader because she could suppress all the male students in the class and was deeply loved by the female students due to her personality. After the reprimand, I began receiving combat skills guidance from Wen Yue. The weapon I chose, although a custom-made model, still belongs to the blade category. Therefore, even though my weapon hasn't been crafted yet, I can still train basic techniques by using other bladed weapons.

"This won't do. Many novels from my past life said that meditation could replace sleep. I wonder if the way I'm sensing external spiritual energy today is related to meditation? Whatever, I'll try it. I can't sleep anyway." So I got out of bed, faced the window, and under the moonlight, followed Wen Yue's guidance from the afternoon to try and enter the state. At this time, my sleeping roommates noticed nothing. The sunlight I drew in the afternoon was not obvious under the scorching sun, but now it was evening, and the cool, silvery moonlight gradually enveloped me. As I meditated, I replaced the sunlight with moonlight and once again tried to sense and absorb spiritual energy. This time, the sensation was different from the afternoon. In the afternoon, I felt the darkness in my blood vessels and internal organs being expelled. But with the moonlight at night, I felt my bones and bone marrow being cleansed by it. The bones, which had been cleansed by sunlight but were still noticeably murky, were repeatedly washed by the moonlight. In my perception, they gradually turned pearly white, and the blood generated from my bone marrow became increasingly clear. The spiritual energy once again approached me and was plundered and absorbed by my talent. This time, it entered from my lower abdomen, and it was colder than in the afternoon. But the feeling was similar. At midnight, all my roommates woke up. Why? It was because they were woken up by my stench. That's right, this time I cleansed myself again, and in my lower abdomen, at the Dantian, a new area was opened, slowly emitting a jade-like glow, but it was a swirling nebula of silver light. Then the entire dormitory couldn't sleep. I started bathing and doing laundry again, and my roommates couldn't sleep either due to the stench. It was another night of ventilation.

By the time I came out of the bathroom, an hour had already passed since I entered the dormitory. After all, the black grime on my body wasn't just black, it was also sticky and very difficult to wash off. I washed from head to toe three times, and ruined two washcloths, before I could finally get clean. Furthermore, my uniform and the water I'd rinsed three times were still as black as ink. Now, I can only leave it soaking in bleach, waiting for my next 'ordeal'. It's just that the academy only issues two sets of uniforms per person, so I have to dry it tomorrow, or I won't have a uniform to change into the day after. Wen Yue is really something. Knowing this situation, he didn't even let me change into other clothes first, at least my casual wear wouldn't be in such a rush to be washed. In the evening, our dormitory had a very well-ventilated night. During that time, we did many things. We rescued Zeng Haoyi, who had fainted, and I informed the other three that I had successfully absorbed spiritual energy while diligently washing my uniform. I also explained one by one the origin of the stench and dirt on my body. Of course, anything that the country's regulations prohibit from being disclosed was not revealed. At night, after the others fell asleep, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The reason, naturally, was that my physical abilities had increased after being cleansed by spiritual energy, making me not tired at all! Although I was mentally exhausted, and my brain kept telling me to rest, my body told me, 'No problem, I can stay up for ten days and ten nights!' 'I can't sleep... I want to sleep, but I really can't sleep!' I was about to break down.

Continuing Chapter One. She possessed memories from twenty years in her original world and twelve years in this world. The overlap of these two lives made her feel both estranged and strangely familiar. Just then, she suddenly felt a faint warmth emanating from deep within her chest. That power wasn't like blood, nor like a heartbeat; it lay quietly in some unseen part of her body, like a small lamp about to extinguish. Moonstar Moon concentrated, trying to sense that power. A pale blue light screen suddenly unfolded before her eyes.
