The Tao is far away

The woman took out a storage bag from her waist, her movements seemed a little weak.

She said calmly, "Help me get the pills out of there."

Wang Chi didn't say much and took the storage bag. He was willing to help with this small matter.

This storage bag was the most common one, without any special seal, so he could easily understand the situation inside with his spiritual sense.

Wang Chi waved his hand and took out all the contents of the storage bag.

The ground was covered with bottles of various sizes and colors.

The woman reached out and picked up one of the bottles, gently uncorked it, poured out a pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

After a while, her blood began to surge and her face took on an unhealthy redness.

Seeing that the woman didn't say much and had no intention of explaining, Wang Chi didn't ask any more questions.

The woman quietly refined the medicinal power.

Wang Chi sat at the entrance of the cave and began to meditate and practice.

The atmosphere between the two became more relaxed, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding without words.

It was late at night, and the only sounds in the cave were the flickering sounds of the fire and the two people's breathing.

The wind outside gradually brought up raindrops, which fell into the small pond, making a crackling sound.

The sun rises and the rain falls in the empty mountains.

In a cave hidden behind a waterfall, a woman slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, as clear and bright as autumn water, seemed to reflect the entire quiet valley.

Although her waist injury still hurt a little, it was less painful than before. She turned over slowly and adjusted her posture carefully.

Her gaze turned to Wang Chi, who was resting at the entrance of the cave. A complex and incomprehensible look flashed across her eyes, as if she was weighing something.

Wang Chi seemed to feel the gaze of those eyes, and he opened his sleepy eyes.

When he turned around, he found that the woman was leaning sideways and looking at him quietly.

She has bright eyes, white teeth, a slender neck, and is extremely beautiful. Even her beauty, which is a little broken at this moment, cannot conceal her beauty.

"Um...are you awake? Are you feeling better?" Wang Chi's voice broke the silence in the cave, but as soon as he said this, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, they were not familiar with each other.

The woman bit her teeth gently and lowered her head, as if to hide her embarrassment. Her voice was so low that water could almost drip out: "Can you help me get some water? I want to wipe myself."

……

"Well, I don't seem to have any utensils..." Wang Chi answered helplessly.

The woman said softly: "It's in this storage bag." As she spoke, she handed a bag that looked ordinary but contained an extraordinary aura to Wang Chi.

Wang Chi took the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He was surprised to find that the vessel she was talking about was actually a tripod-shaped magical instrument, and it looked to be of quite high grade. This made him curious about the woman's identity.

"Boy, you're so generous."

"By the way, what's your name?" the woman asked softly, her voice like a spring breeze blowing through willow branches.

This attitude is completely different from before.

"Wang Chi, what about you?" Wang Chi replied, and at the same time, he became even more curious about this woman.

"Mu...Li Xiaoxiao." The woman gave her name, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her voice.

"Li...Xiao...Xiao." Wang Chi repeated the name.

Wang Chi moved with steady steps and came to Xiao Tan. He leaned over and carefully filled the yellow-patterned tripod, which was as big as a washbasin, with a cup of clear mountain spring water.

When his fingers touched the cold water, he couldn't help but feel a chill. He knew that directly wiping Li Xiaoxiao's body with such cold water might make her feel uncomfortable.

With a slight movement in his heart, Wang Chi lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Then he gently placed the yellow-patterned tripod on the ground.

Then, he began to condense the spiritual power in his body. Balls of scorching flames gradually spurted out from between his hands, forming fire rings in the air.

Wang Chi stretched out his hand and directed a stream of water through the ring of fire.

Heating ring, each section is stronger than the last!

The flames jumped in the air, making slight crackling sounds, reflecting Wang Chi's resolute face and illuminating the surrounding space.

After about an hour, after unremitting efforts, the water was finally heated to the right temperature, warm but not hot.

Wang Chi’s spiritual power was almost gone.

……

When Wang Chi finally returned to her sight with the cauldron of warm water, she frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why did you take so long?"

Wang Chi gently placed the yellow-patterned tripod on the ground and carefully reminded: "Wipe it yourself." His voice was a little tired.

Li Xiaoxiao keenly noticed the fatigue in his tone and the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

Li Xiaoxiao gently put her slender fingers into the water in the cauldron to test the water temperature.

She was somewhat surprised to find that the water was hot and the temperature was just right.

This caused ripples of emotion in her heart.

Just when Li Xiaoxiao was about to express her gratitude, Wang Chi had already turned and left.

In a hurry, Li Xiaoxiao stopped him, her voice full of urgency: "There are some pills in here, please regulate your breathing!" She picked up a bottle and handed it to Wang Chi.

Wang Chi stopped when he heard what Li Xiaoxiao said. He turned around, looked at the pill in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll take it. Thank you."

After receiving the pill and leaving the cave, Wang Chi found a quiet place to sit down. He closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing, using the power of the pill to slowly restore his spiritual power.

……

At night, Wang Chi entered the cave again, carrying a fat rabbit.

Another delicious night.
