A cat that lingers beside a saint

Late at night.

In Master's room, snoring had already begun.

He felt happiest when he ate his fill and then slept.

But Su Bai is different.

At this moment, he was lying on the roof, quietly sensing the essence of Yin.

He has many distracting thoughts, and he must adjust himself to the best state before he begins his spiritual practice.

According to my master, having too many ideas makes it difficult to adjust.

However, diligence can make up for lack of talent. As long as you make adjustments in advance, you can naturally practice breathing exercises when the time comes.

I don't know if it's because of the cat itself, but unless it's time to sleep, his mind is always filled with random thoughts.

After finally managing to shake off the urge to wander around, the thought immediately popped into my head: "Tonight's dishes are really delicious!"

Hearing the hooting of an owl beside him, he thought of catching one to play with.

Once you banish one thought, another will immediately arise.

As the night went by, his thoughts barely stopped.

As soon as the east began to lighten, the thought in his mind vanished without a trace.

The next second, he quietly lay on the roof, feeling the essence of the moon.

The power of Yin gradually condensed with his breathing, and then he integrated this cold and yin power into his entire body.

For a moment, Su Bai felt icy cold all over his body, and even his soul seemed to be frozen.

But as the sun rose in the east and a ray of purple light shone on him, a warm current began to flow along every vein in his body.

In an instant, both his primordial spirit and physical body were enveloped by this warm current, and the previous cold power gradually merged into his body because of this warm current.

The moment the sun fully rose, Su Bai suddenly opened his eyes.

This time, his breath was not the usual white mist.

If the breath he exhaled before was like steam produced when water and fire collide, then what he exhaled this time was the turbid air hidden within his body.

The moment the essence of the sun appeared, it neutralized the power of the moon and merged into his physical body and primordial spirit.

Compared to the past, one was used for washing, while this time it's for actual absorption.

As he watched the turbid air gradually dissipate into the world, Su Bai suddenly felt that his physical body seemed to have become much lighter.

Just as he was about to jump off the roof and go back to rest for a while, Su Bai suddenly felt his heart clench.

He lost his footing and fell directly off the roof.

Fortunately, his physical body is now strong enough. After being cleansed by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon countless times, his body is no longer comparable to that of ordinary animals.

It fell off the roof and crashed heavily to the ground.

Even so, his heart did not stop pounding; he could clearly feel that his heart was beating more violently than ever before.

The flow of qi and blood in the body is also more intense than usual.

The rapid flow of blood and qi made him feel extremely uncomfortable. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw that his originally thin cat paws had suddenly become larger.

Not only that, even the hair on his body began to grow rapidly.

The moment he stood up, Su Bai couldn't help but roar to the sky.

Instantly, all the birds and beasts in the entire forest were startled and took flight.

The old Taoist priest in the room, however, kept his eyes closed, and his snoring did not stop.

As his blood and qi gradually calmed down, Su Bai slowly got up.

Looking at the changes in his body, he felt slightly puzzled.

what is this?

Could it be that I am experiencing atavism because I possess the bloodline of some ancient mythical beast?

But this doesn't seem like it either.

Arriving at the edge of the water tank, I looked at its reflection in the water.

It looks quite fierce, somewhat like a lion, but clearly more majestic.

Its body has also grown considerably larger, and its strength has obviously increased significantly.

As if he had thought of something, Su Bai's eyes lit up slightly.

[Supernatural Power: Manifestation of Heaven and Earth (Low-level)]

Just then, Su Bai suddenly felt a chill behind him. He turned around and saw the old Taoist priest holding a hoe.

"Master?"

"Hmm? A cat?"

"What happened to you, you've become such a wreck?"

"I thought it was a monster that jumped out of the mountains."

Upon seeing his master's arrival, Su Bai, sporting a large head and a gaping maw, stepped forward and grinned, "Master, is this the Law of Heaven and Earth?"

The old Taoist priest carefully examined Su Bai, staring at him from head to toe for a while, before finally nodding slightly and saying, "He looks a bit like the ancient mythical beast Suanni."

"However, your description of the laws governing heaven and earth is far from accurate."

"The Dharma of Heaven and Earth is ten thousand feet tall; you're nothing compared to that."

"I reckon it's a natural change that occurred when your cultivation reached a certain level while you were absorbing the essence of the sun and moon."

"I usually call this kind of change a technique."

"That is, what you often call supernatural powers."

"However, this method consumes a great deal of energy. You have not yet refined your essence into qi. Even with the Taiyin and Taiyang, you cannot absorb them on your own. Unless it is an emergency, you should not use it lightly."

Su Bai nodded heavily. In fact, he himself had noticed that his magical power was rapidly dissipating.

I estimate it can only last for about a minute at most.

However, if used as a trump card to catch the enemy off guard, it would be a good strategy.

"You just said that when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, some changes will naturally occur."

"Does this also include supernatural powers and magic?"

The old Taoist yawned widely, rolled his eyes, and said, "You're asking me? Who should I ask? I haven't cultivated, how would I know?"

"Going to sleep now. Remember to bring back a few bird eggs on your way out; your teacher wants to eat them today."

Something is wrong!

Something's wrong with this old man.

If anyone else saw Su Bai like this, they would probably be too frightened to know what to do.

But the old Taoist's reaction was so calm.

This is enough to show that the old Taoist priest must have seen the world.

As for why he would hide in this deep mountain, guarding this Taoist temple that doesn't even have a name.

There must be a story behind this.

Most importantly, Su Bai clearly remembered that when he first arrived in this world, his personal panel was basically empty.

But ever since the old Taoist priest took him in, listening to his stories and watching his every move, Su Bai's personal panel has unknowingly gained several talents and several supernatural abilities.

The old Taoist priest used to say that people who reach a certain level of cultivation will actively conform to the laws of nature.

Their every word and action carries the profound truths of the universe.

If you're lucky, you might learn something from it.

The innate abilities displayed on Su Bai's panel clearly came from the old Taoist priest.

But Su Bai couldn't understand why his master wouldn't admit it.
