Besides, Aunt Xiuling might not know that she has five spiritual roots. It can be seen from the words and deeds of Minjing and Li Qianxing that it is probably difficult for her to practice.
But she will also work hard to learn a few basic spells to make things easier for herself.
Wang Xiuling could see through her perfunctory attitude, so she could only persuade her slowly in the future, "I'll go cook first, and you can come get the food later."
Li Yirou suddenly remembered the Dust Removal Technique, "Aunt Xiuling, do you know the Dust Removal Technique?"
She thought about switching roles with Wang Xiuling, she would cook and Wang Xiuling would use magic to wash the dishes.
Wang Xiuling looked gloomy, "This spell requires the first level of Qi Refining, which I don't know."
Seeing that Wang Xiuling was sad, Li Yirou didn't dare to bring it up again and changed the subject, "Then I'll go smoke the meat?" But she thought in her heart, if the first level of Qi Refining is so difficult, she wouldn't be unable to learn such a convenient spell as the Dust Removal Technique.
"No need, let me do it. If you don't master it, it won't taste good." Wang Xiuling's expression returned to normal. "Go to the barn in the back and get some hay stalks."
She did as she was told and brought out a large bundle of straw stems. Wang Xiuling left out two pieces of fresh meat and put the rest on the rack. She did not marinate them but smoked them directly with the straw stems.
As soon as she made a gesture, fire started on the bundle of grass. Wang Xiuling smoldered the fire and it turned into smoke.
While the smoke was being smoked over there, the stove here also started to work, and soon a pot of unpalatable stew was ready.
Wang Xiuling turned off the fire and waited until mealtime to heat it up casually, which made the food even more difficult to swallow.
After a series of operations were completed, the bacon that should have been turned over was finally remembered, and it turned into a black mess.
Wang Xiuling seemed to be very satisfied with the unpalatable appearance. She should have continued to smoke the other side, but she put out the fire. The meat, with one side thick and the other light, was hung under the shed to be eaten by her disciples in the future.
"Xiao Rou, please cook for us." After doing all this, Wang Xiuling seemed a little tired and breathed slightly on the bamboo chair.
Li Yirou was originally lamenting the convenience of knowing magic, but when she saw that she was tired, she quickly poured her a glass of water and then started cooking.
I steamed the washed rice, marinated the lean meat with egg white, and cut the vegetables into sections. I also added a plate of fresh cucumbers and prepared all the seasonings except the vinegar, ready to be added after the hot oil is poured on.
Wang Xiuling saw that she was nimble and intelligent, and even if her spiritual roots were poor, she would not be like her, unable to cultivate even one level.
"Okay, let's eat first." After the rice was ready, Wang Xiuling wanted her to practice quickly, so she suggested eating first.
Li Yiruo fried the dishes and ate them with rice. The two of them finished their meal in just over ten minutes.
After eating, Li Yiru sent away the disciples who came to eat. She washed the dishes and went into the house to start studying the first step of cultivation - perceiving the spiritual energy and drawing the energy into the body.
As the mental method was explained, Li Yiru meditated on the cushion, closed her eyes, relaxed herself, sank her Qi into her Dantian, cleared her mind, and felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After a while, the darkness was no longer in front of her eyes, but dense spots of light appeared.
Some of the colorful little light spots gathered into a ball of energy. Li Yiru wanted to attract them, enter the acupuncture points of her body, and then converge into her dantian through the meridians.
Just as she was thinking that this was not difficult, she immediately sensed the spiritual energy. However, with just a moment of distraction, the scene in front of her suddenly disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse.
Li Yiru slowly opened her eyes and exhaled. The mental method said that she should be calm and composed, but she was indeed slightly distracted by other thoughts, and her spiritual perception ended.
She cleared her mind again and sensed the spiritual energy around her. This time, the light spot appeared quickly again, but no matter how Li Yiru chased and attracted it, the spiritual energy was out of her control.
She was immersed in this boring game of chasing light spots. She chased them and every time she was about to bring them into her body, they ran away as if they were electrocuted. She repeated this over and over again, tirelessly, until the chirping of birds sounded.
Li Yirou opened her eyes and realized that a whole night had passed.
She thought she would be very tired after not sleeping all night, but in fact, after meditating all night, even her legs didn't feel numb.
Unfortunately, she got nothing. This was probably the fate of the five spiritual roots, she understood.
When she went out to breathe some fresh air, she happened to meet Wang Xiuling who was watering the plants with magic spells. Li Yiru greeted her and Wang Xiuling waved for her to come over.
"You have to make a trip today. You can call the sect's alchemist Feng Xiaoman, Elder Feng. Ask me to cook fish for her." Wang Xiuling said as she instructed her, "Elder Feng is one of the most important elders in the sect, and she is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Bring the food box to her. If she gives you any reward, just accept it and thank her."
Li Yirou obeyed obediently, "Okay, Aunt Xiuling." Wang Xiuling was so serious that Li Yirou also understood that this elder must serve well.
"I'll call you when it's ready at noon. You must deliver it to Elder Feng immediately without delay."
"Yes, Aunt Lingxiu." Li Yiru straightened her back and nodded seriously, wishing she could salute her.
Wang Xiuling was amused by her serious look. She originally just wanted Li Yiru to be more serious. "You should go and practice." After saying that, she didn't waste any more time with her and walked towards the lake.
Li Yiru knew that she could no longer force herself to pursue spiritual energy. She should divert her attention for a while. Perhaps she could gain something from further practice.
So he took out another book, "Encyclopedia of Low-level Spiritual Plants", and started flipping through it.
This book is also illustrated with texts and pictures. It is like popular science for children. It categorizes and describes more than 40 kinds of plants from several aspects, ranging from replenishing spiritual energy, clearing the mind and calming the spirit, healing injuries to making poisons and detoxification.
It also explains how to prepare them, which ones can be used to make pills to double the effect, and which ones can be used directly.
Li Yiru had a good memory and read quickly, so she finished reading in a short while.
Just at this moment, Wang Xiuling called her.
She closed the book, straightened the wrinkles on her clothes, and took the lunch box. "Did you remember?" Wang Xiuling asked worriedly.
"Well, I'm delivering the food box to Elder Feng. It's in the local token. I'll just go there. I won't be delayed on the way." Li Yiru smiled at Wang Xiuling, indicating that she should not worry.
Wang Xiuling seemed tired again. She sat on the bamboo chair and panted slightly. "You should leave quickly."
"Are you okay, Aunt Xiuling?" Li Yirou wondered if she had any illness. Although fatigue added to a beautiful woman's beauty, Li Yirou still wanted her to be healthy.
"It's okay, go ahead." Wang Xiuling smiled at her, drank some water, and seemed to feel much better.
Li Yirou could only nod and leave, following the instructions all the way to Elder Feng's cave.
On the way, she met three young men who saw her carrying a lunch box and watched her walk forward. Li Yiru saw that they did not say anything or stop her, so she thought they were just curious and did not take it seriously.
She walked quickly all the way and arrived at the cave of the Foundation Establishment Elder in just over ten minutes.
Although they are called caves, they are just small courtyards that are far apart from each other.
She saw Feng Xiaoman's name hanging at the gate of the yard behind her and hurried over.
A girl about her age was waiting for her at the door, but she was fair-skinned and looked very smart and cute.
