After a while, Lu Huairen and Yu Mao also returned to the cave. They pulled Li Yi to sit at the table and discussed the matter of the Kuanglan Secret Realm.
"Don't disturb Fang Ye." Li Yi took out the formation plate and was about to set up an isolation formation. The two paused and then remembered that there were other people in the dormitory. They had unknowingly ignored this roommate with the worst cultivation.
It was just that Li Yixiu was similar to them and was better at swordsmanship, so they only took a second look at him.
Alas, she could have heard about the secret realm, but was separated by Li Yi. However, Li Yirou felt a sense of respect. He was really a normal person.
No matter in which world, it is rare to find a normal person who knows how to consider others a little.
Li Yirou was concentrating on her cultivation. As daylight began to rise, she heard a knock on the stone wall beside her bed curtain. It was Lu Huairen. Li Yirou's spiritual sense detected his approach, presumably to attend to the wind chime tree again.
Since she had chosen Bao Jianxiu's thigh, she would not treat everyone equally. Again, no matter whether others treated you well or just averagely, you would get your response, so why should others treat you specially?
Li Yirou pretended to be surprised, "Brother Lu?"
"Look, Yu Mao and I are also going to the secret realm, and we'd like to ask you to help take care of the wind chime trees for us. We don't need you to plant any extra ones, just replant any that die."
Lu Huairen looked embarrassed, but he didn't mention the reward. Did he think she would curry favor with them because of their high cultivation level? Or that she was just a good person in the dormitory? Unfortunately, she wasn't.
This is not the student days when there might still be some sincere friendship, or the inner disciples like Lin Chunfang, where there is not much imbalance in resource distribution, but real work.
It's said that you can't be friends with your coworkers. Li Yirou often sees this statement online. If it weren't for Li Yi's value, she wouldn't even consider it.
Li Yirou smiled innocently, "No problem, we're all roommates. I'll give you two brothers a discount. It only costs 1 point a month."
Points are very useful. Although they are not many, they can be exchanged for more than spirit stones. The things you can buy are different. It is a loss compared to hiring people from outside! But how can outsiders enter the sect casually? Others don't care about 1 point and will ask for more. Compared to that, Fang did give a discount.
But the two's originally enthusiastic expressions faded, as if Li Yirou was supposed to be selfless and devoted. Just because Fang Ye's cultivation level was low, shouldn't he try to curry favor with those with higher cultivation levels? Especially since they were still in the same dormitory.
Yu Mao looked down at the silly boy, but he really didn't seem to have such a heart. Everything was handled with a businesslike attitude! Humph, don't expect them to help him in the future!
Lu Huairen quickly recovered and bargained, "Brothers still want to save points to buy some things, why don't you give us each 20 spirit stones per day?"
The points system at Wuji Palace differs from that of Yijian Sect. While 1 point isn't worth 100 spirit stones, there are many things at Wuji Palace that can only be redeemed with points. This is especially true for cultivation techniques. For 1,000 points, you can borrow a high-level technique, but you must swear not to pass it on to others. There are also some mid-level techniques that many cultivators desire.
"Okay then." Li Yirou pretended to be reluctant, but seemed to finally realize that they were in the same dormitory, so she reluctantly said, "15, I told you I'd give you guys a discount."
Yu Mao was initially unhappy, but after some bargaining, he realized it was cheaper than hiring someone outside, so he couldn't be so rude anymore. He made a request, "Then you have to water the plants every day and help us replant any dead plants."
"No problem, have a safe trip and make a lot of money~" After hearing these words, the two of them looked much better.
Disciples within the sect were charged the same price as outsiders for this kind of work, as it was additional work. The sect's monthly salary was lower because they provided disciples with free housing and resources like alchemy rooms, which offset the salary.
Li Yi gave her a reassuring farewell look without saying a word, but he seemed closer to her than the other two.
Before they even set off, Li Yirou boarded her paper crane and ate in the dining hall before heading to Taoyuan Mountain. Yu Mao and the others paid her a month's wages in advance, 900 spirit stones. Li Yi promised to practice swordsmanship with her upon his return, which pleased Li Yirou greatly.
When she reached the top of the mountain, she did not plant more plants to her west, but used the vitality chapter of the Spirit-stimulating Technique to save a few spiritual plants.
This was her unexpected new discovery. She had originally intended to practice replenishing vitality, not only to heal others, but also to extract vitality from other living beings to help her recover, and even integrate it into formations.
After she practiced on two wind chime trees, she discovered that a faint golden light was emitted from their plants. If Li Yiru had not learned the skills in the cave, she would definitely not be able to detect it.
This tiny bit of extremely imperceptible light floated onto her body. Li Yiru did not feel uncomfortable, and she felt that the golden thing inexplicably gave her a sense of security, as if it was just guarding her outside her body.
During those days, she occasionally went to the alchemy room to learn how to make pills, mainly to improve her spiritual awareness and mental strength. However, when refining ordinary replenishing pills, she would fail nine times out of ten. Thanks to the abundant spiritual replenishing herbs in the space, she didn't feel bad.
But that day, when she was about to fail again due to the influence of the strange fire, the golden light suddenly flashed, and the Soul-Replenishing Pill that was about to disperse and become shapeless suddenly gathered into round particles. An aura of spiritual power rose in the pill furnace, and the pill was actually refined!
Then the golden light dimmed, becoming gray, as if a speck of dust were hanging on her body. But it hadn't disappeared, instead it was gathering energy again. Li Yirou only then noticed that there were actually several golden spots on her body.
Combining the common sense she had previously read in the Sutra Library, Li Yirou assumed that this golden light was the so-called merit, which could enhance her luck. If she wanted to understand more, she would need to continue studying the technique she had obtained in the cave - "Da Yan Shu".
When people are lost and at a loss, they sometimes turn to metaphysics, and Li Yirou was no exception. She couldn't help but flip through the jade slips related to fortune-telling, "Da Yan Shu." Although she could understand it and was familiar with the basic knowledge of the Eight Trigrams, she couldn't deduce anything from what it said.
Li Yirou, skeptical, dove headfirst into the subject and spent the entire night studying it. She calculated her own fortune, her fortune for Taxue, her fortune for Han Yuzhen, and even her fortune for Han Yuzhen. Every result was a blank. Li Yirou was stunned. Even if she was learning something she was not good at, even if she couldn't do it well, at least she could grasp the basics.
But she thought she understood the art of divination, but she always failed, as if there was a wall between her and the fortune teller, preventing her from learning anything.
