Finally, when the disciples finished their meal, Li Yiru and Wang Xiuling collected the dishes together. She couldn't help but admire them. These disciples were indeed cultivators. They could eat such food, which showed their hardworking spirit. She couldn't do that!
Just as he was thinking about how to persuade Wang Xiuling to let her cook from now on, she went to close the fence door outside the straw hut. After seeing that no one came, he returned mysteriously and brought out new food.
"There were so many people just now that I couldn't speak. Usually we wait until they finish eating before we eat our own."
Li Yirou listened to the meaning behind her words and looked at the delicious color of the newly served food. She took a small piece and stared with wide eyes.
Delicious! She looked at Wang Xiuling strangely, "Then why..."
"Eat first. It's hard to explain the reason directly, but you will understand it slowly." Wang Xiuling kept silent and started eating with her.
Li Yirou...
Maybe he wanted to take a break and was afraid that too many people would come to eat?
The cultivation world is such a great place, you can do this without getting fired! It's a great position where you can fool around.
I picked some meat for Xiao Taxue, rinsed it with well water to remove as much seasoning and salt as possible, and also picked a piece of crispy melon.
"Aunt Xiuling, can I use this plate and bowl for my kitten in the future?" She picked the ones that were slightly dented. She didn't know where to buy the things yet, so she could only ask if they were usable.
Wang Xiuling was easy to talk to and readily agreed. "This is your place from now on. You can do whatever you want with your belongings as long as it doesn't affect our meals."
Li Yirou was slightly moved, finally feeling a sense of belonging, and thanked him happily.
After they finished eating, Li Yiru slowly washed all the dishes. Wang Xiuling was also very satisfied with the work and diligence in her eyes.
"Tomorrow morning, when the birds start to cry, you should pack up and get up. I will show you what chores you will need to do."
Li Yirou nodded in agreement, and Wang Xiuling let her do as she pleased.
She had just arrived here and had to clean up a bit. She found a rag and went to her room. The temperature here was just right and the room was comfortable.
There wasn't much dust in the room, just some cobwebs. Li Yiru wiped them clean and swept the room again before opening the package she had taken out from the Deacon's Hall on the tidy table.
When it opened, a flash of light appeared, startling Li Yirou. She thought of the young man's mocking smile. "A prank?" How ridiculous. But she was also afraid that this prank was some kind of poisonous insect, something she couldn't handle.
After stepping back for a while and seeing that there was nothing unusual, and that Taxue nearby did not give any warning, Li Yirou thought to herself that she was worrying too much, and then she dared to continue to open the door slowly.
I didn’t expect that such a small package could hold so many things!
Two sets of bedding, three sets of clothes, a cushion for meditation, a ceramic cup, a copper kettle, a clay stove, an oil lamp, two wooden basins, and three books on cultivation, including the sect's rules and introductory techniques.
It basically covers the daily necessities.
This turned out to be a compressed package, which was quite practical. Li Yiru thought of putting the unnecessary things back first, but she didn't expect that this time she couldn't fit it in no matter what.
It seems to be disposable... She thought it was a small storage bag.
After putting everything in order, Li Yiru went to the stove outside to boil some water, brought it back into the house, lit the oil lamp, and began to read the books with great interest.
He first took a look at the sect's rules, which were some regulations, such as not being allowed to harm fellow disciples, and having to complete the sect's tasks. There were also some corresponding punishments. Li Yiru wrote them down to avoid any trouble and being kicked out of this good place to slack off.
Then, she excitedly opened the introductory manual for cultivation. She could understand it, but there weren't even any pictures. She had no idea where the acupuncture points and meridians were. She only knew that the Dantian was roughly in the abdomen, but where was the Lingtai?
No wonder Master Minjing asked her to learn more about the world of cultivation before practicing, otherwise it would be like reading a heavenly book.
Li Yiru could only put aside her mental method and look at another book called "Basic Magical Spells and Techniques". It was very good and also talked about which acupuncture points and meridians to transform and emit spiritual energy from. She couldn't understand it and still gained nothing.
Throwing the book casually on the bedside, Li Yiru blew out the oil lamp and simply went to bed early with Taxue in her arms.
Wang Xiuling went out of the house to get some water to drink and happened to see her blowing out the lights early. She shook her head and turned back into the house.
.
Early the next morning, Li Yiru heard the loud crowing of a rooster and quickly woke up.
Yesterday I forced Taxue to sleep in my arms. I didn’t expect that the little guy was still being hugged by her in the quilt, so warm. I really don’t want to wake up. This was the best sleep I had in all these years. It felt too comfortable.
This "Sichen Bird" has a nice name, isn't it just a rooster? The world of cultivation is quite elegant.
Because her sweet dream was disturbed, she complained a few words impatiently, but still got up and put on her clothes, not forgetting Wang Xiuling's instructions yesterday.
When she went out, the beautiful lady Wang Xiuling was already waiting for her in the courtyard. "I'm sorry, Aunt Xiuling, I'm late."
She thought she was very fast, but she didn't expect the other party to be even earlier. He was supposed to be slacking off, so he was too punctual.
"It's okay." Wang Xiuling was still very gentle. "I'm just taking you to see the work. I might give it to you in the future."
Faced with Wang Xiuling's understanding, Li Yiru suddenly felt really sorry. She was really too soft-hearted. She secretly promised herself that she would get up quickly after the first crow of the rooster.
"Because the morning dew is heavy, we need to collect several kinds of dew." Wang Xiuling took her along the way and demonstrated along the way. She used small porcelain bottles to collect water dripping from bamboo leaves, stamens, lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and a kind of fruit in different places.
It should have been a boring job, but Wang Xiuling used magic!
This made Li Yirou very curious. She saw her making hand gestures and controlling the dewdrops hanging on the bamboo leaves to float up and fly towards the small porcelain bottle in her hand. She looked like a fairy, so elegant and beautiful.
She had seen it yesterday and knew that this should be a water-based spell that required the use of water spiritual power, which she would attach to the water droplets that needed to be controlled to guide them to gather.
Li Yiru saw her sorting and collecting the dew one by one. Thanks to the magic, it only took her about half an hour. This was also because Wang Xiuling moved quite slowly, perhaps because of her beauty.
Li Yirou was not in a hurry either. She followed her and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
After collecting the dew, Li Yiru went to the vegetable garden with her to water the land. She still used magic to draw water from the lake, and several acres of land were watered in one go.
Seeing Li Yirou's great interest, Wang Xiuling withdrew her hand. "These techniques can be used once you have successfully drawn the Qi into your body. Once you have mastered them, you can collect dew every seven days. If it doesn't rain, you need to water the ground every day, and collect the seeds when they grow and store them in the cellar."
Li Yirou lowered her head in embarrassment, "But I don't even know about acupuncture points and meridians, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get started..." After saying this, she seemed to think of something, "Aunt Xiuling, can you teach me?"
