TBIP: Chapter 6

How could Lou Xingyao care about ‘The Dao and Heaven are Equal’ now?

At this moment, all his attention was attracted by the portable space in his mind.

This was a portable space!

Mrs. He’s storage bag that could only hold dead things already made him envious, let alone such a large portable space!

The soil of the land in the space had dried up and cracked, looking like it was about to die, but Lou Xingyao had read the original novel and knew very well that this piece of land only needed to be irrigated with the well water in the space for a few days. Then it would be restored to a state where it could be planted.

What Chinese person could refuse a portable space for planting?

If it wasn’t for his sanity, Lou Xingyao would’ve wanted to enter the portable space immediately and see with his own eyes this small world that completely belonged to him. Fortunately, he finally suppressed this dangerous idea.

He was now the focus of observation of the Lou family. Who knew if there was anyone guarding outside the door? if someone noticed that his aura suddenly disappeared, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lou Xingyao knew that he could only make a fortune by keeping silent, so he didn’t want to cause trouble at this time. He finally just silently used his consciousness to observe the space in his mind.

First, he looked at the piece of land with huge development potential and a trace of regret flashed in his heart. It was a pity that he hadn’t drawn qi into his body yet, and couldn’t use his mind to control the objects in the space. For the time being, he could only let this piece of land continue to dry up.

After his consciousness repeatedly stayed on the land for a long time, Lou Xingyao’s attention finally turned to the well on the side.

This well looked simple, but it was the most precious existence in the space at this moment.

This well water couldn’t only be used to moisten dry land. It could also accelerate the growth of plants. This function, combined with the land in the space, could completely achieve a powerful effect of one plus one was greater than two.

The most important thing was that this well water also had the effect of washing the meridians and marrow. The effect wasn’t as immediate as rumored, but it was very good if used for a long time. It could not only remove impurities from the body, but also strengthen the body and the meridians.

In other words, if he used this well water, his weak meridians could be cured without medicine in one year at the latest and three years at the slowest.

Lou Xingyao realized this and felt mixed emotions.

Who would’ve thought that the solution to the root cause that had troubled Lou Xiaowu for nine years and caused Lou Xiaowu to suffer nine years of bullying would be so close to him?

If Lou XIaowu had discovered this portable space then according to his dual spiritual roots talent, it would’ve been a different scene at this time.

There was also the attribute of dripping blood on the space to recognize a master. Based on the frequency of Lou Xiaowu being beaten in the Lou family, it would only be a matter of time before he discovered the existence of the space if he hadn’t hidden the bead.

However, Lou Xiaowu had now disappeared. All these assumptions were meaningless.

At the same time, Lou Xingyao had a flash of enlightenment in his mind. This was probably the luck often mentioned in the original novel. Treasures came to those with good luck. Those with weak luck couldn’t truly possess a treasure even if they had them. Lou Xiaowu had never been able to discover the existence of the space. Wasn’t this a manifestation of a lack of luck?

Lou Xingyao thought of all of this and put aside the regret in his heart. He turned his attention back to the interior of the space.

The well water was very good. However, Lou Xingyao couldn’t control objects remotely or enter the space directly. This meant he could only enjoy the sight first.

This feeling of being in possession of a treasure but being unable to use it was…

Lou Xingyao sighed leisurely and could only silently comfort himself in his heart. There was a long way to go. Now that the space was in his hands, he would always have an opportunity to use it in the future.

He retracted his attention from the well with difficulty. His consciousness started to gradually explore the only building in the space.

The cabin wasn’t big and the furnishings were very simple. There was a soft couch for rest, a small wooden table, a medicine cabinet, and a futon for meditation in the corner were all items in this small cabin.

The spring water in the space was so magical. This cabin naturally had its own unusual features. The secret was hidden in the medicine cabinet that occupied an entire wall.

The medicine cabinet looked unremarkable, but it actually had a lot of hidden secrets. Each grid had an independent space that was no smaller than an ordinary storage bag, and it also had the function of stopping time. No matter what was put inside it, the item would remain the same when it was taken out.

The most important thing was that this medicine cabinet was a storage space independent of the portable space. Even if Lou Xingyao hadn’t drawn qi into his body, he could use it without entering the portable space.

Lou Xingyao tried to put the stone that he used to harm himself during the day into it. The next moment, the picture of the stone being stored in the medicine cabinet really appeared in his mind.

If Lou Xingyao had to describe this feeling, it was a bit like a backpack in a game. Wasn’t it much more advanced than those storage bags?

Lou Xingyao thought about it as he took out the stone he used for the experiment from the medicine cabinet and put the small wooden box that belonged to Lou Xiaowu into it.

The items in this small wooden box weren’t valuable, but it carried all of Lou Xiaowu’s childhood feelings. It was also the only proof that Lou Xiaowu had ever existed.

Perhaps Lou Xingyao would never be able to take out this small wooden box and tell others about the stories that belonged to Lou Xiaowu. However, at least in his space and heart, there would always be a place for the young boy who apologized to him due to his difficult situation.

After his consciousness stayed on the small wooden box in the medicine cabinet for a while, Lou Xingyao was about to put away the picture of the medicine cabinet in his mind. Then he found that there was a subtle green light flashing in one of the grids in the corner.

What was this?

Lou Xingyao moved his mind and took the green object out of the medicine cabinet. He found that it was a jade slip.

Lou Xingyao had read the novel and naturally knew that jade slips were a means for cultivators on Tianming Continent to record information. This jade slip was small, but its information storage capacity was no less than the hard drive with the largest memory in modern society.

At the same time, Lou Xingyao knew that he only needed to stick the jade slip to his forehead to obtain the information in it.

What puzzled Lou Xingyao was that in the original novel, the medicine cabinet was empty when Ye Hantian got the portable space. There was no jade slip.

Therefore, Ye Hantian had expressed his dissatisfaction with the space more than once. He thought that since he had obtained the portable space, it should come with some rare spiritual plants, exercises or similar things. A bare space didn’t fit his identity as the chosen one.

Later, these thing were readily available to Ye Hantian but still often criticized this empty portable space when recalling the difficult years when he started from scratch.

So at this moment, Lou Xingyao was really confused about the origin of this jade slip that had never appeared in the original novel.

Just as Lou Xingyao was doubtfully holding the jade slip, he suddenly realized that since he discovered that he transmigrated into a book and obtained the portable space based on the description in the book, he seemed to have relied too much on the information described in the book.

He believed in the well water that appeared in the plot, but had suspicions about the jade slip that didn’t exist in the plot.

Obviously, these two items came from the same portable space. In essence, there was no difference.

Even He Wanqing’s story was enough to show that the plot of the novel wasn’t necessarily comprehensive and accurate. Putting aside ‘The Dao and Heaven are Equal’, Tianming Continent was a real world.

How could a real world be described clearly in a novel of just a few million words?

Lou Xingyao’s heart tightened when he thought of this. At the same time, he secretly raised his vigilance. Don’t think about what happened in the novel first when encountering something in the future. It wasn’t that he couldn’t refer to it at all, but he should make his own judgment first.

At this time, Lou Xingyao’s judgment on the jade slip was also much clearer. Since the portable space was safe and harmless, this jade slip in the portable space should also be safe.

Even so, Lou Xingyao still didn’t intend to receive the information in the jade slip immediately. He hadn’t forgotten the burden on his brain caused by the influx of a large amount of information when he received Lou Xiaowu’s memories during the day.

He didn’t know how much information was recorded on this jade slip, but he had to wait until he could draw qi into his body and control the speed of information flow before checking it. This way, he could be sure that nothing would go wrong.

Just as Lou Xingyao was about to put the jade slip back into the medicine cabinet, he was shocked to find that the originally smooth and flawless jade slip had cracks on it at some point. Lines like a tortoiseshell instantly covered the entire jade slip.

In Lou Xingyao’s surprised eyes, the jade slip gradually broke into pieces. The fragments didn’t fall at all, but turned into starlight as big as fireflies.

After the last piece of fragment gradually disappeared, the originally scattered starlight gradually gathered and turned into a blue light that rushed straight between Lou Xingyao’s eyebrows like a meteor.

The whole process was smooth and completed in the blink of an eye, leaving Lou Xingyao no time or opportunity to refuse.

The moment the last bit of blue light disappeared between his eyebrows, Lou Xingyao felt a large amount of information coming at him like a landslide or tsunami. This immediately made him lose his ability to think.

The next moment, Lou Xingyao felt as if he had turned into a meteor in the sky. He was traveling through the vast universe but couldn’t find the exit to leave. Finally, he could only keep traveling through the unfamiliar sea of stars.

The sea of stars was vast and boundless, like an abyss. As time passed, he gradually started to forget his originals, his original appearance, and the way back. Even the movements of traveling through the sea of stars gradually became numb.

If there hadn’t been a voice in his heart urging him, Lou Xingyao would’ve wanted to stop his aimless and meaningless behavior more than once, stopping and becoming a member of the sea of stars like the thousands of stars in it.

He didn’t know how long it had been or how many starry skies he passed through. Suddenly, a unique star appeared in Lou Xingyao’s eyes. The large expanse of blue sea water matched with the yellow-green land immediately evoked his memories hidden in the deepest part of his body.

It turned out that he wasn’t a star. He was a person called… Lou Xingyao!

The moment his memory returned, Lou Xingyao opened his eyes and left the endless sea of stars.

At this moment, the originally dark sky outside the window had become bright. A cultivation method appeared out of thin air in Lou Xingyao’s mind. It was called:

Myriad Celestial Stars Method.
