It was the same job, but because this silly-looking kid had an epiphany, he had to take over and help him with his work, and he had to spend more spiritual energy and spells. Why? He felt unhappy.
He didn't want to admit that it wasn't that tiring to give birth to a few more spiritual plants and have the Yuanying Patriarch's formation to help him recover. He had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. This time, he mainly wanted to get close to the Yuanying Patriarch, just in case he was noticed by the other party and become his outer disciple.
But the elder was so far away from them, on the top of the mountain, and they couldn't even see his shadow. He worked for a few days in vain, only earned 20 spirit stones, and got nothing, but the opportunity was taken by a cultivator who was obviously inferior to him.
He might even catch the eye of the ancestor because of this. He gritted his teeth. There was only one person around except him. He didn't even look at this place. He was busy planting trees. He was a fool. He was helping others to make wedding clothes for nothing. So this short cultivator took the opportunity of planting trees to get closer to Li Yirou step by step.
Just push him, pretend to care about why he's sitting there, and you can interrupt this epiphany! And he looks completely innocent, so what can the other party do to him? The short monk stood beside Li Yirou and reached out his hand to her shoulder.
"What are you doing? Can't you see that he is having an epiphany?" The young monk who was planting trees on the other side noticed the situation on Li Yiru's side and rushed over to stop the short monk who was destroying Li Yiru's epiphany.
How could there be such a person? He must be so evil. He wouldn't do such a thing. He is such a good person. The boy thought.
"The ancestor has seen it all, aren't you afraid?!" The good-natured young man threatened, and the cultivator was stunned. The ancestor would not care, as long as she completed this broken test formation, it didn't matter what the people below did!
But he still didn't dare to fight with others under the old ancestor's nose and make things worse. He could only look at Li Yiru, who was still in enlightenment, with jealousy and left in disappointment.
The kind young man set up a protective formation around Li Yiru and continued to plant trees according to instructions.
Li Yirou seemed to sense some danger, and her dazed expression seemed to be about to clear up. At the same time, several small animals in the space were barking, trying to wake her up.
Seeing that someone came to rescue them, they all quieted down for a moment, not wanting to disturb Li Yiru's enlightenment.
After being protected by the formation, Li Yiruo's expression, which had shown some signs of struggle, returned to a daze, with a light flashing on her body, and she was still immersed in this epiphany.
When she came to her senses, it was already dark. She was sitting in a small protective formation, surrounded by bare mountains, and there was a person next to her.
"Awake?" The young man was sitting beside her, meditating. Seeing her awake, he removed the protective formation. "Your enlightenment took quite a while."
Even without light, Li Yirou could vaguely see the boy's appearance. He looked about the same as her now, even about the same age, and looked equally ordinary.
She unexpectedly had another epiphany. Perhaps because she had already entered the threshold of cultivation, this time her experience was much clearer than her last epiphany, and her memory was also very deep, allowing her to apply what she had learned in a timely manner.
After a little guesswork, she knew that the young man was kind enough to help her set up a protective formation to prevent anyone from disturbing her. "Thank you..." Before she could even utter the word "friend", the other party interrupted her in time, "No need, 50 spirit stones, thank you for your patronage."
Li Yiru was stunned by his words and inexplicably thought of the time when she saved Luo Ye.
Sister Luo Ye must have been interrupted by her words "the spirit beast belongs to her" at that time. Her gratitude suddenly turned into silence. The brief memory made her smile suddenly, but she quickly stopped.
But the young man's cultivation level was higher than hers, so he still heard the laughter and thought she was mocking him. He explained, "Someone tried to interrupt your enlightenment, and I saved you. 20 spirit stones, isn't that too much?"
"You only worked less than half a day's work, and I did the rest for you. I'll charge you another 20, isn't that too much?"
"I chased that villain away, helped you set up the formation, and guarded you until dark. I didn't even get to eat the fresh rice in the Wuji Palace dining hall. Now I charge you 10 spirit stones. Isn't that too much?"
"50 spirit stones in total, but..." He didn't finish the last two words when Li Yirou was about to pay. The four words "not too much" made her head hurt. "Not too much, not too much. Thank you for protecting this opportunity for me, fellow Daoist. I'm grateful."
She often does this kind of thing, so it's natural. It's even harder for her to bear being treated well for no reason. This way, the money and goods are exchanged for the goods, which is also good. In the final analysis, it still helps her, so she accepted it quickly.
"Can you make it cheaper? I'm really short of money..." When she was taking out the money, she suddenly remembered her poor image. It was impossible not to bargain, so she quickly added.
"It's okay. You can pay me all at once after you finish the three-day training." After saying that, he took out the communication jade slip and added Li Yiru, "I'm No. 953, very close to you." The implication was, don't try to shirk your debt.
A name [Li Yi] appeared on Li Yiru's jade slip. It was simple, easy to remember and ordinary, like a pseudonym. But no matter who he was, it was just a chance encounter. What did it matter whether it was true or false? Maybe everyone had their own secrets.
"Oh, this is today's wages. I've collected it for you. Do you want to pay now or..." He pretended to take out the spirit stones, but the storage bag wasn't a wallet. He searched for them several times but couldn't find any. Li Yirou quickly said tactfully, "Now, now."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li!" She was too lazy to waste time talking to him. "Where can we go?" "Would everyone else leave and leave them sitting on the bald mountain all night?" But the spiritual energy here was more abundant than that of the cave where the ten spirit beads were used a day, so she didn't even mind it.
"Wuji Palace provides a lounge, just follow me." After saying that, he immediately took out a flying paper crane from his storage bag and rode the crane to the west. No, he flew away on the crane.
Li Yirou sighed silently. Almost all of the 60 spirit stones she earned from working this time were taken away by him, but fortunately, there were still 10 left. So she followed the young man, injected her spiritual consciousness into controlling the paper crane, and flew behind him.
Under a bright moon in the autumn sky, the air cool and windy, Li Yirou quietly soared atop a paper crane, watching the autumn nightscape unfold. Others said autumn was a time of decline, but she experienced a rare moment of peace within herself. A sudden realization, a profound understanding of life and death, led her to understand that without autumn and winter, there would be no spring and summer; nature itself has its own destiny.
In just half a day, Li Yirou discovered that her cultivation had quietly risen a bit, refining her meridians a little further. No wonder Master Minjing said it was a pity for her when she had a sudden realization.
If you start practicing at that time, you can also make progress in your cultivation.
Li Yirou silently recalled the scene of her first enlightenment. It seemed as if she was looking at the inscription of Yijian Sect and saw the free and easy figure dancing with a sword.
Although the impression was not too deep, she had actually subconsciously imitated the graceful posture when she was learning the Five Elements Tai Chi Sword, and her own sword dance also had a similar style.
Sudden enlightenment is wonderful, but it's incredibly dangerous. However, it's rare, and some monks may never experience a single sudden enlightenment in their entire lives.
During her short cultivation career, Li Yiru had two opportunities, but her path to becoming an immortal was so full of difficulties that she couldn't even tell whether Heaven favored her or not.
