What a bad memory she has!
In the past, when she was immersed in something, she would easily forget about other things. Li Yiru missed the mobile phone in the old world very much. She could set daily reminder alarms and not be so flustered.
When he ran back to the dining hall, he saw Wang Xiuling had already cooked the dishes and was sitting aside to rest.
"Aunt Xiuling, are you okay?" She was worried. "I wanted to use the Water Diversion Technique to irrigate the land, but it failed and delayed me for some time."
"I'll be careful. It won't be too late later."
Seeing that Wang Xiuling had prepared meals for both of them and kept them warm in a small casserole, he felt warm in his heart, but he was worried that she might be tired.
Wang Xiuling still had a gentle expression on her face, "It's okay, I feel much better today."
As she spoke, she took out a small drum half the size of her palm from a low-level storage bag. There was a short pointer in the center of the drum and a small wooden hammer on the side. It had a unique shape.
"This is a bell. I set two times for cooking. You can carry it with you so that you have a reminder."
"Okay. This helps me a lot." Li Yirou didn't hesitate and took the bell in her hand and looked at it over and over for a while.
The twelve hours were faintly engraved on it, and the pointer moved at an extremely slow speed. When it reached the set hour, the gavel would strike.
With the bell hanging on her waist, some disciples happened to come for lunch. Li Yirou prepared food for them, and after everyone left, she had dinner with Wang Xiuling. After they cleaned up, she went back to finish watering the fields.
Only then did he calm down and practice the water-drawing technique again.
It is not difficult to practice, but most of the time is spent on the circulation of spiritual energy.
Even if you only absorb one kind of water spiritual energy, it will take half an hour, and some of the spiritual energy impurities will be removed, and another part will be absorbed by the meridians, and there will be very little left when it returns to the dantian.
Why can't it be used when the spiritual energy is directly inhaled into the dantian? Li Yirou thought so and couldn't help but try it. It actually works!
The water spirit that directly enters the dantian is a complete light spot, and can also attract more lake water. Li Yiru even picked up a small handful of water and poured it into the vegetable garden.
She figured it out herself, and thought that the Great Circulation was to improve her body's functions and widen the channels so as to absorb more spiritual energy in the future; and directly drawing the energy into the body could also be used, but it was not as pure as the spiritual energy after circulation.
While introducing water spiritual energy, she used magic spells. Her dantian was now like a transit station, absorbing and releasing water continuously. Li Yiru was finally able to introduce a steady stream of lake water into the spiritual field.
But the water flow was very thin, unlike Wang Xiuling's way of watering this three-mu vegetable garden in just two or three strokes.
However, Li Yiru was already very satisfied. Just as she was about to try again, the bell on her waist began to ring.
Three hours passed by unknowingly. Cultivation really takes a lot of time. No wonder everyone in the sect is in such a hurry.
She went to the stove and checked the small sign. Five people had also made reservations for meals this afternoon.
Li Yiru made it and tasted it. Hmm, it was quite unpalatable. She had basically grasped the essence of Aunt Xiuling’s cooking.
It was still early, so she prepared food for Wang Xiuling and her, and put it aside, waiting for the disciples to leave before eating.
While cooking, Li Yiru was also thinking that she had to explore the path of cultivation on her own now. From the way she used the spells, it could be seen that without anyone to guide her, she had taken many detours.
Aunt Xiuling seemed to know very little about cultivation. The words she gave her as advice seemed to be something she recalled from others and relayed to her. She also made it clear that she could not guide her in getting started with cultivation.
Somehow, Li Yirou suddenly recalled the look in Master Minjing's eyes that showed no expectation of her. She had seen through it and thought that becoming his disciple was probably hopeless.
But now she can complete her daily work. As long as she strives to reach the first level of Qi Refining and learns the Dust Removal Technique, she doesn't have any goals anymore. As long as she can live in peace and stability...
Thinking of this, and recalling Aunt Xiuling's words, I was momentarily troubled. Could it be true that a high-level cultivator would wipe out a sect over a disagreement? And what about the beast tide attack?
But Master Minjing said that there is a protective shield that can protect the safety of the sect.
Here, she has never seen even a poisonous spider. She also has a little cat named Taxue, who runs out every day and comes back well-fed. Li Yiru believes that the sect is very safe.
Compared with the two of them, Minjing has a higher level of cultivation. In fact, she is more inclined to follow Minjing's advice to her - to take good care of the dining hall and live a peaceful life.
The only destabilizing factor is Zhao Jinfan and his gang of robbers.
However, it was impossible for her to always receive any rewards. After being here for so long, she had only seen Elder Feng ask for food to be delivered once. It was said that there were dozens of foundation-building cultivators in the sect, so the frequency of asking for food to be delivered was extremely low.
Li Yirou quickly sorted things out for herself, and at this time the disciples also arrived.
She heated up the fried dishes casually and served them to them half-cold and half-hot. The disciples ate in silence and left quickly.
Li Yiru observed that the disciples who came to eat every day were basically wearing the same menial disciple clothes as her, and their faces were also quite different. Perhaps they had no choice but to come to the dining hall to eat.
After they left, she started to cook for Wang Xiuling. The fire from the stove made her face slightly warm.
"Xiao Rou, have you made any progress in your practice these days?" Wang Xiuling dragged her tired body out of the house, sat down at the nearest table and chair, and asked her about her practice.
Li Yirou happily told her that she could use the Water Diversion Technique. "Aunt Xiuling, you can rest assured and leave the canteen matters to me. I can handle it now."
Wang Xiuling was happy for a moment, then seemed to be lost in some emotion and stopped talking.
Seeing her depressed and heavy look, Li Yirou could only shake her head secretly.
After having dinner with her, Wang Xiuling went back to her room in silence.
She didn't know what her illness was. She sighed, packed up, went back to her room, and meditated on the cushion, moving towards the goal of the first level of Qi Refining.
Following her experience of absorbing water aura, she wanted to sense fire aura this time.
According to the relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Five Elements, wood generates fire, and she has a high affinity for wood aura. If she had not wanted to learn water-based spells first, she would have absorbed fire aura first.
However, due to her affinity with wood aura, she could easily imagine herself as something similar to wood. When water aura was introduced, she was a plant that needed moisture. When fire aura was introduced, she turned herself into a dead tree, waiting for a spark to ignite.
The red light spots floating around gradually approached, and Li Yiru concentrated her mind, waiting for it to enter.
But when it got close to him and was about to penetrate his body, the water spirit was like a little bully, pushing it away and taking its place.
Li Yirou suppressed her impatience and let the water spiritual energy enter her dantian. At this time, the wood and water spiritual energy that had just entered, as well as the two spiritual energies after circulation, were already in her dantian and could no longer enter.
Only then did she regain her understanding of the fire spirit.
But this water spirit was very overbearing. It couldn't get in by itself, so it blocked the door. As long as the fire spirit approached, it would drive it away.
No wonder they often say that water and fire cannot coexist. Li Yiru exhaled, slowly opened her eyes, and came out of her cultivation state.
