Chapter 023 – Ten Clouds

I do not know how long, Wang Lin opened his eyes, from the window to look out, outside in the dark, he rolled down from the bed, moving half a day body, did not feel strange, so from the bottom of the bed to take out the stone bowl, and found that the liquid in the bowl are all gone, he picked up the bead, a careful look, and was surprised, the 10th cloud, appeared in the place where the blank was in the beginning.

Wang Lin immediately came to the spirit, holding the mysterious stone beads look left and right, eyes flashing, immediately put away out of the room, go to the mountain spring to get a big bowl of water, hurried back to the room after the beads in it stirred some.

After doing this, he drank a mouthful of spring water, tasted it for half a day, and found that there was no difference with the usual, he looked at the beads for half a day doubtfully, put it in his mouth and bit it, it was still bang hard.

He squeezed out another drop of blood on it, the bead remained the same.

After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, swung up the stone bowl and smashed it hard on the stone bead, he thought that maybe there would be some changes inside the bead after it produced more than ten clouds.

After the banging sound, the stone bowl shattered, Wang Lin’s hand was numb, but the bead didn’t show any signs of breaking.

After exhausting all means, the bead still didn’t show any difference after more than ten clouds, Wang Lin’s heart ached for the two gourds of dew he wasted, and he threw the bead to the side in anger.

After a while, he was reluctant to pick up, gaze carefully observe. Looking at, suddenly a wave of drowsiness embraced the heart, he was stunned, he obviously just woke up, how is still sleepy? Rubbed his eyes vigorously, he continued to look at the beads.

Slowly, the drowsiness couldn’t stop coming, the beads became more and more blurred in his eyes, and finally Wang Lin’s body slumped and fell to the ground, the beads had been grasped in his hands.

He had a dream in which he came to an infinite place where there was no sun, moon or stars, but there were countless luminous bodies all around him, and even though he was dreaming, his mind was clear as a bell, and he was even wondering why he was here in his dream.

Here he did not feel any discomfort, in his heart he understood that he was dreaming, but he did not know how to wake up, so he had no choice but to walk around, and walked for a long time in this boundless place.

I don’t know how long, when he was physically exhausted, there was a sudden tremor around him, and then, he felt as if his body was torn apart in pain, and with a miserable grunt, he violently opened his eyes.

Looking around, still in the room, Wang Lin exhaled deeply, wiped the sweat secreted on his forehead, secretly this strange dream finally woke up, suddenly, his expression instantly turned extremely odd, he stared blankly at the mysterious bead in his hand, all the ten or so clouds on it disappeared, and on its surface, a few small words appeared.

“This ……” Wang Lin froze, quickly picked up a closer look, this font crooked rather out of the way, he liked to read since childhood, for the text knowledge of a variety of, thought for a long time, the impression of the font one by one comparison, and finally reluctantly guessed some meaning.

“What’s on here should be numbers, not of practical significance.” Wang Lin held the beads and muttered. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind and he thought of the dream he had just had.

“Could it be related to this bead?” Wang Lin pondered for a little while and immediately laid down on his bed and closed his eyes to force himself to sleep, but he was so refreshed at this time that he couldn’t sleep.

In his mind, he remembered that when he slept before, he was looking at the bead and naturally fell asleep, so he stared at the bead without blinking his eyes, and gradually, sleepiness surged, and without realizing it, he closed his eyes.

The boundless space appeared once again, Wang Lin stood here, his eyes showed the color of contemplation, he didn’t walk around this time, but after contemplating for a moment, he kept jumping up and down in place, repeating the cycle.

As time passed, he jumped up higher and higher, until now he could reach a small half a zhang, and when his body was exhausted inside and out, the long-lost tearing sensation surged once again.

Then, he awoke.

The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately got out of bed, started jumping, and his body leapt up high, similar to the results of the training in his dream.

At once, an unbelievable gaze appeared in Wang Lin’s eyes, and an expression of ecstasy followed, he took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed his excitement, and walked around the room, his expression changing rapidly, sometimes deep in thought, sometimes distressed, and sometimes still showing a look of disbelief, his forehead sweat clattered and dripped down his cheeks.

“If it’s merely exercisable in a dream, then it’s simply a chicken rib, I can exercise in reality as well, there’s no need to have to be in a dream.” Wang Lin muttered.

“No, this bead absorbed so much aura-filled liquid before the tenth duo yuan appeared, it can’t be chicken ribs, there must be another role, there must be! But what exactly is it?” Wang Lin’s eyes showed an obsessive color, forgetting everything around him and devoting himself to contemplation.

“Could it be ……,” he paused in his footsteps, and as if he had caught a clue in his mind, he lost his voice and exclaimed, “Could it be time?”

Thinking of this, he could no longer control his mood, excitedly wanting to roar a few words out loud and wildly, he hurriedly clenched his fists fiercely, his body trembling as he stared at the beads.

“If it’s really related to time, I …… I, Tie Zhu, will definitely become an immortal even if my natural talent is poor!” Wang Lin took several deep breaths, which slightly returned to normal, without saying a word he immediately turned over the oil lamp in the house, after filling it with oil, he held the beads and sat aside dumbfounded, silently calculating the time in his heart.

About two hours later, the oil-filled lamp went out.

Wang Lin hurriedly poured in full oil, lit it and then held the beads and once again entered the dream world.

This time, he didn’t practice high jumping, but sat on the ground with his knees crossed, silently counting numbers and calculating the time.

Half an hour, one hour, five hours, ten hours, twenty-five hours!

A tearing sensation appeared in his body, and the moment Wang Lin opened his eyes, the oil lamp showed signs of going out.

“Ten times the time, the time spent in the dream world is ten times the time spent in reality!” Wang Lin excitedly stood up and gripped the mysterious bead tightly.

Inwardly, for the first time, he had full certainty about cultivating immortality.

At this time, it was already three rods of sunrise, Wang Lin put away his excitement and didn’t use the bead for immortal cultivation right away, he knew that if he used the bead during the daytime within the sect, it might be discovered unintentionally at some point, and he definitely couldn’t keep it for himself at that time, so he put the bead inside his storage pouch and pushed the door to walk out of the room.
