Chapter 228: Cultivation
This incident was so bizarre that ordinary dwarves who had never experienced it were shocked and found it unbelievable.
But then, several other dwarves who had experienced this incident looked reminiscent, remembered something, and came forward to testify. Only then did the other dwarves begin to believe it.
"If the leaders are not lying, then the sacred tree is not a dead thing. It is truly a great existence!"
The dwarves were shocked.
Some people had doubts.
"Chief, why has the sacred tree never responded to us?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone became surprised and suspicious again, full of doubts and confusion.
"It should be that the great sacred tree ignored us. The sacred tree has not yet truly recognized us."
The bear leader expressed his guess, which was recognized by many people.
At the end of the conversation, although some dwarves still had some doubts in their hearts, it still played a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Even afterwards, some adults or children went to ask several parties involved what the images were like in their minds at the time.
Some people who have clearer memories immediately expressed how they felt at that time.
"At that time, I felt like I was enveloped by light and sensed an unimaginable existence."
"Now that you describe it, I remember it too. It's amazing!"
"I remember that..."
As they expressed their feelings one by one, exclamations came from the adults and children beside them from time to time.
After experiencing this incident, the dwarves became even more reverent towards the sacred tree.
Su Qi, who had been observing, was surprised at their guess and said, "Speed up the deduction to ten years later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a reminder sound rang .
[Under your wishes, time has come to ten years later...]
In an instant, the images in front of his eyes flashed rapidly, and some things appeared in his eyes.
During these ten years, new babies were born and old people died. Even the eight people at the beginning died one after another, and in the end only six people were left, three boys and three girls.
However, these are not what Su Qi cares about. What he cares about is whether there will be any breakthrough in the special power of this group of dwarves.
To his disappointment, their special powers remained at that level without any significant improvement.
Although this is related to the fact that the divine fruit must be divided equally and cannot be concentrated in one person, the fact that so many people have not seen a qualitative improvement over the years is very telling.
Maybe those dwarves were satisfied, but Su Qi was definitely not satisfied.
"It seems that they really need some guidance. Otherwise, who knows when they can achieve qualitative improvement."
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze towards the dwarf settlement, looking for a suitable guiding target among them.
After observing and screening for a long time, he finally found the right person.
At this moment, Su Qi's eyes were fixed in one direction.
Not far from the open space on the east side of the dwarf settlement, a group of children were dancing and mocking another child.
"Shi Tou, you are just a wild child, picked up by adults from outside, a child that no one wants!"
"Yeah, Shitou doesn't even have parents, so what is he if not a wild child?"
"Wild child, wild child, hehehe..."
A dozen relatively clean children wearing beautiful animal skins clapped their hands and jumped around a dirty child with laughter.
The child who was surrounded and mocked by them was about ten years old. He was very thin and skinny. He was wearing animal skins and was dirty. He formed a sharp contrast with the group of children surrounding him.
Listening to the mocking sounds around him, Shitou lowered his head and quietly clenched his hands.
However, when he thought about the fact that he couldn't resist at all, he became negative in an instant.
Naturally, Shitou's expression and actions were seen by the dozen or so children.
With a bang, he was pushed to the ground, accompanied by laughter.
"Angry, angry, that useless Stone is angry..."
"It's no use getting angry. He doesn't even have the ability. How can he be angry?"
"Uh-huh……"
The children had smiles on their faces, and they were very happy in their hearts when they saw the stone being bullied so badly.
"Why are you bullying me?" Shi Tou couldn't help but asked this question.
A dozen children were stunned when they heard this.
They simply think that the stone is easy to bully and that there are no adults to take care of it, so they just bully it for fun.
Seeing that everyone is bullying someone, they start bullying him too.
They were also very happy when they were bullying the stones, so they kept doing it. Where did all the whys come from?
"What's wrong with bullying you?"
"We just love bullying you!"
There were laughs.
After a while, a dozen children left with satisfaction, promising to continue tomorrow, and left, leaving only the badly bullied Stone.
Su Qi, who was floating in the air, looked thoughtfully at the staggering stone.
He had a general understanding of the situation of this child named Shitou during his previous observations.
Because the other party's relatives died in the mouths of wild beasts and no one took care of him since childhood, the current situation has evolved.
As for the abilities that the children said stones did not have, they were of course special abilities.
As he continued to observe, Su Qi also discovered something, "If both dwarf parents have eaten the divine fruit, the child born from their union will basically have special abilities, unless something unexpected happens."
"And if only one of the parents has eaten the divine fruit and the other has not, then there is a certain probability that the child will not have special abilities."
This is the case with the kid named Stone.
After all, the number of divine fruits is limited, and the growth cycle is also very long, so it is impossible to satisfy everyone. In addition, after the dwarves gained wisdom, they gave birth to selfishness...
The reason why Su Qi chose this child named Shitou was because this child was unwilling to give in.
"Only people with needs and unwillingness can have motivation. If you want to guide someone who has no needs, it will take a lot of time and effort." Su Qi thought.
Night falls and the earth is pitch black.
Looking at the stone huddled in the corner of the cave, shivering from the cold, Su Qi began to think, "Well, how should I guide it?"
"Just ask him to try to practice? No way..."
"And I myself don't know how to make these special abilities undergo a qualitative change." Su Qi looked strange.
After a while, he had a strange thought, "Well, how about giving this stone some knowledge about meditation, tranquility, and Zen, as well as some cultivation concepts from novels, and letting it solve subsequent problems by itself?"
Although this idea is a bit weird and unreliable, it has to be said that it really saves time and effort.
Thinking of this, Su Qi couldn't help but take action.
While recalling the knowledge, he packaged it all and transmitted it to the sleeping stone lying on the ground in the cave.
