Chapter 395: Helping Qiong Xiao, inviting to go together

Gu Xiu was slightly stunned, not expecting Qiong Xiao to ask him questions about cultivation.

Coming back to his senses, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Junior Aunt is too polite. If you have any doubts, just say them. I will definitely know everything."

Qiong Xiao nodded lightly, her beautiful eyes flowing, her expression showing a bit of solemnity.

"I have touched the bottleneck for years, but I have never been able to grasp the essentials and find it difficult to break through. Your breakthrough speed is so fast, do you know what I should do?"

"Junior Aunt, the cultivation bottleneck is an extremely tricky thing on the road of cultivation. Can you allow me to look inside your body to explore the reason?" Gu Xiu pondered for a while and said.

Qiong Xiao looked at Gu Xiu, seeing his gaze was sincere and innocent.

She nodded lightly.

Gu Xiu used his divine sense to probe Qiong Xiao's body.

He couldn't help but appreciate his Junior Aunt's beauty.

Her figure was graceful, her body lines were smooth and elegant, her neck was slender and fair, her shoulders were round and exquisite, like beautiful jade carefully carved.

Her chest was slightly raised, and although it was not ostentatious, it had a cold charm.

Noticing Gu Xiu's gaze, examining her from top to bottom.

The tips of Qiong Xiao's ears turned red.

Her eyes, which were usually like frost, now rippled, and her gaze dodged.

Sensing Qiong Xiao's strangeness, Gu Xiu coughed lightly and began to seriously look inside Qiong Xiao's body, trying to find the problem from the subtle details.

"Did you see anything?" Seeing Gu Xiu withdraw his gaze, Qiong Xiao asked.

Gu Xiu shook his head, "Junior Aunt, I didn't find any problems with you, but cultivation bottlenecks are like walking on a fork in the road. If you are not careful, you will go astray. In this disciple's opinion, Junior Aunt, why don't you trace back your own cultivation path and sort it out from the initial foundation to see if there is any link that is slightly omitted?"

Qiong Xiao frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said, "My cultivation has always been gradual, and my foundation is solid. There should be no mistakes in this aspect."

Gu Xiu heard this and thought for a while, "If so, the bottleneck may not be due to the foundation. Junior Aunt, have you ever thought about whether there is an obstacle in your state of mind? Sometimes, if the state of mind cannot keep up with the improvement of cultivation, it will be like an invisible shackle, binding the opportunity for breakthrough."

Qiong Xiao frowned slightly, as if she had realized something, "State of mind... Are you saying that I should sharpen my state of mind more? But what exactly should I do?"

Gu Xiu wanted to open his mouth to answer.

Suddenly, the system's crisp prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Detected Qiong Xiao asking for help, triggered a temporary special mission. Please make a choice, Host."

"Option 1: Discuss the Dao with Qiong Xiao and point out her doubts in cultivation. Reward: Charm Fragrance! (Once this fragrance is lit, its scent will quickly disperse. Those who smell the fragrance will fall into infatuation and confusion, and will do anything to pursue illusory emotions.)"

"Option 2: Invite Qiong Xiao to go out and play, see the various states of all living beings, and comprehend the true meaning of the world! Reward: A special epiphany opportunity for Qiong Xiao!" (The Host can use this epiphany opportunity on Qiong Xiao to help her enter an epiphany and break through the bottleneck.)

Looking at the two options that popped up suddenly.

Gu Xiu couldn't help but complain.

What kind of thing did this dog system send for Option 1? He ruled it out directly.

Looking at Option 2, inviting Qiong Xiao to go out and play, it didn't seem quite right either.

Among the Three Xiao sisters, he and Qiong Xiao had very little interaction alone.

If the other party misunderstood and thought he was flirting with her, and angrily complained to Yun Xiao and Bi Xiao, wouldn't he have no face to see anyone?

But now in the Investiture of the Gods, if Qiong Xiao could make a breakthrough, it would strengthen the Three Xiao sisters a lot.

After weighing it in his heart, Gu Xiu silently said in his heart: "System, I choose Option 2."

"Ding!"

"Choice successful. Time limit is three days. When a certain artistic conception is reached while playing, the mission is completed!"

Hearing the system prompt, Gu Xiu couldn't help but be a little confused. What exactly is this so-called certain artistic conception?

He had to take one step at a time.

He looked at Qiong Xiao and suggested, "Junior Aunt, if you have nothing to do, why don't we play around the East Sea? This disciple will take you around, and by the way, we can also discuss different insights on cultivation on the way. Maybe you can get inspiration from it, broaden your state of mind, and find a breakthrough opportunity."

Qiong Xiao was slightly stunned, not expecting Gu Xiu to make such an invitation.

She looked at Gu Xiu and saw that his gaze was sincere and there was nothing else inappropriate.

At the moment of hesitation, the desire to break through the bottleneck prevailed.

Thinking that Yun Xiao and Bi Xiao often went out with Gu Xiu alone.

It should be no problem for her to go out with her Junior Nephew.

She nodded lightly and said, "Then I will trouble Junior Nephew. My Big Sister, Third Sister, and I have been on Three Immortals Island for years and don't know about worldly affairs. It's quite convenient to have Junior Nephew with me."

Gu Xiu showed a gentle smile, "Junior Aunt is too polite. It is this disciple's honor to be able to help Junior Aunt. Time is running out, how about we set off now?"

Qiong Xiao was stunned, not expecting Gu Xiu to be so eager. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded.

"Okay, let's set off immediately."

Gu Xiu turned around and turned into a stream of light with Qiong Xiao, flying away from Three Immortals Island.

The two turned into streams of light, shuttling between the clouds and the sea, and soon arrived at the shore of the East Sea.

Gu Xiu turned to look at Qiong Xiao and said, "Junior Aunt, the East Sea area is full of outstanding people, and many living beings come and go, which might give you some insights."

Qiong Xiao nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at the vast East Sea, her eyes full of thought.

Gu Xiu watched from the side, noticing a group of fishermen going out to sea to fish, and spoke slowly, "Junior Aunt, look at these fishermen. They go out to sea facing the morning sun every day and return to the shore with the evening mist. They repeat it over and over again, working hard. What they seek is just the warmth and fullness of a family. This persistence of working solidly for life seems ordinary, but it actually contains the truth of the Great Dao."

Qiong Xiao looked in the direction of Gu Xiu's gaze, only to see fishing boats rising and falling in the waves, and the fishermen skillfully casting and pulling nets, their movements crisp and neat.

The sea breeze roared, and despite the scorching sun, it couldn't blow away their focused expressions.

Gu Xiu continued, "We cultivate the Dao, seeking to transcend heaven and earth, seek the Great Dao, and prove the Dao to exist forever. But this process is just like fishermen going out to sea to catch fish. They need clear goals and unwavering determination. They know when to cast nets and where to lower hooks to return fully loaded. We cultivate the Dao and also need to find the right direction, stick to the Dao heart, and understand the true self, so that we can find a breakthrough opportunity at the bottleneck."

Qiong Xiao's beautiful eyes flowed, and she fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu didn't care and just stood on the side, not in a hurry.

Anyway, regardless of whether Qiong Xiao had any insights, after getting the reward, he would let her enter an epiphany and break through the bottleneck.

At the same time, the Three Xiao sisters had been cultivating on Three Immortals Island, and what they usually saw were some immortal beasts and spiritual birds, ignoring the ordinary things they could draw insights from.

Under his guidance, if Qiong Xiao could gain some insights from it, it would not be a wasted trip.

After a while, Qiong Xiao came back to her senses.

"Junior Nephew, it's rare that you can use this act of fishing at sea to verify the truth of cultivating the Dao. I also felt a little enlightenment from your reminder."

Gu Xiu showed a smile, "Everything in the world has its reason for existence, connected to each other. As long as you feel it with your heart, everything can help you cultivate the Dao. Junior Aunt has gained some insights this time, which will definitely make your state of mind go to a higher level. In that case, let's go to the next place." ===== CHAPTER 396 =====
