Chapter 21: Do Less



Just as I opened my eyes, I heard the chirping of birds in the morning, and it turned out that a whole night had passed.

She gained a new understanding of the time-consuming nature of cultivation.

Although it didn't work, Li Yiru was not too sad. She had five spiritual roots, which was normal. If it had been successful, she would have to check carefully to see if there was something wrong with the spiritual root test.

Today she was going to practice collecting dew while it was still early. In three days it would have to be the seventh day, otherwise she would have to rely on Aunt Xiuling to do it.

Although both methods use the water-drawing technique, collecting dew is different from watering the land. The former requires careful control of the required dew to prevent the dew from mixing with other water droplets and losing its purity.

Watering the land requires a lot of water and the continuous flow of lake water, but it does not require any precision. She even used some strength to control it. After drawing out the water flow, she poured it into the vegetable field. Otherwise, there would be too little spiritual energy to support her to slowly introduce it into the land.

Li Yirou began to use the uncirculated spiritual energy in her dantian like watering the ground, but she was not able to control the dew smoothly, and always took away the water vapor on the side.

But she only wants the drop from the pistil; if it is mixed with other things, it will not be pure.

But now they are all practicing with dew. Li Yirou heard Wang Xiuling say that seven days is a cycle, and the dew is purer and has a stronger fragrance, so they collect it every seven days and put it in a box by the lake, and someone will come to take it.

When it comes to fine control, I'm afraid it would be better to use the recycled spiritual energy.

She tried to rotate the smaller water spirit light spot, let it flow out from the meridians, and activate the magic formula.

The dew from more than a dozen flower stamens flew in front of her eyes, and it was done!

Li Yirou was so excited that the water droplets fell to the ground with a plop.

Too much joy leads to sorrow, and the circulating spiritual energy in the dantian has been consumed.

There is a lot of moisture here, and if she sits in meditation to recover directly, her clothes will get soaked. It seems that it is better to carry the straw mat with her. If she has a storage bag, she can also cover up the matter of the space.

Li Yiru knew that she was wishful thinking. Now the space only had the twelve spirit beads given by Minjing Zhenren. She had not earned a penny since she came here, so how could she afford to buy low-grade magic tools?

However, the dew will disappear when the sun rises a little higher, and it will be gone after her spiritual energy circulates for a whole week. She can only practice again tomorrow.

She was unable to cultivate, and thought that she had almost finished reading the books. She should borrow the two books today to read through and consolidate her knowledge. She would return them tomorrow and then find other books to read.

On the way back, she met Taxue. She hadn't seen the little guy jumping on the tree at first. It was only when he saw her and meowed that she discovered him.

"Bad boy, you sneaked out again." She was in a much better mood when she saw her kitten. "Did you eat enough?"

Taxue meowed again, not as if it was hungry and asking for food, but as if it was saying goodbye, and jumped to another tree and left.

She didn't know what it was doing, but it was busier than her, the master chef, all day long. Seeing that it was healthy and safe, Li Yirou smiled with relief and returned to her room.

She memorized the characteristics of the low-level spiritual plants recorded in the book. After all, the pictures were in black and white and not very clear. However, she did not encounter another one on her way back and forth to help her practice.

Thinking of the six spiritual herbs that were stolen, he felt heartbroken again. He couldn't beat them in the fight, and he had no backing, so he could only accept it for the time being.

She knew that she was not a broad-minded person, and she remembered clearly who had treated her badly and bullied her, as if she had a small notebook in her heart.

However, she would not dwell on it. If she could retaliate, she would retaliate. If she couldn't, she would not make herself suffer and would just forget about it.

This book on identifying meridians and acupoints can be used every day, but she just flipped through it and didn't read it again.

Keep the two books and return them tomorrow.

Dong, dong, dong, the bell rang softly. Li Yirou went out to cook for three people and sent the disciples away. Aunt Xiuling said that she didn't want to eat today, so Li Yirou just had a quick bite.

On the way back this morning, I saw some dandelions and some rose trees. Unfortunately, the flowers had already bloomed, but the fragrance was still strong. I guess they had just bloomed. I picked them quickly so they could still be used for brewing.

The world she lived in in her previous life was rich in resources, and the food, drinks, and entertainment were diverse. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to prepare for the college entrance examination and stay away from entertainment for a year, she would not have been able to stay in this ancient world for a moment.

But even in the third year of high school, there is still a wide variety of food and drinks, and the food in the school cafeteria is delicious.

After crossing over, I was anxious to deal with Li Chang's family, and then I was uneasy for many days after coming to the world of cultivation. Now I can finally handle my work well, and I feel a little relaxed. I also want to get back my previous habit of enjoying life.

Her appetite is especially light when she is reading, so she wants to satisfy herself by making a pot of tea and eating some snacks, which are simple ways to improve her quality of life.

After digging some dandelions and picking some roses, Li Yiru even felt quite relieved. She went back to the dining hall, washed them, spread them in a basket, and hung them to dry under the eaves.

Wang Xiuling came out and saw it, with a look of disapproval on her face.

"Aunt Xiuling, I'm feeling a little irritated. I'm picking some dandelions to clear my heat." She made an excuse and smiled at Wang Xiuling again, knowing that it was for her own good and she wanted her to practice well.

But forcing herself to study was actually less efficient, and she didn't want to argue with her.

"Okay, I'll find you some red dates. Dandelions are cold in nature. All plants in the cultivation world have stronger medicinal properties than those in the mortal world. Although this is a non-grade plant, you still have to pay attention to how it's paired."

She walked slowly into the warehouse. "If you can't concentrate, come and look around. Don't waste time picking some things."

"By the way, there's a monthly shopping list. If there's anything you need for cooking that's not very expensive, you can write it down and the Deacon Hall will purchase it."

Then he added, "But tea is not an option. It's usually given directly to the elders, and we can't get it."

Wang Xiuling found a bag of dried red dates and asked her to help herself. Li Yirou hugged her arm and shook it, "Aunt Xiuling, you are so kind."

For some reason, he thought of the original owner and couldn't help but choke on his words, "I wish you were my relative."

Wang Xiuling touched her head and guessed that if the parents loved the child with poor spiritual roots, they would never be willing to send him to this world of cultivation.

Xiaorou was afraid that she was not having a good life in the mortal world. When chatting with her, she learned that she was already thirteen years old, but was thin and small, like a child of ten years old.

"We are more than family." She touched her lovingly, but her thoughts became more determined. She could not let her waste time in the dining hall any longer. If she was gone, she would probably be kicked out of the sect. She had to find a better way out for Xiaorou.

Li Yiru was actually not used to having any physical contact with others, but today she took the initiative to hug Aunt Xiuling's arm.

It was only after I held him in my arms that I felt a little uncomfortable, yet also very warm.

Wang Xiuling also gave her a key to the warehouse, but still reminded her to practice more when she had time and do less other things.

Apart from the teacher, no one had ever arranged this for her. Li Yirou smiled at her and said, "I know, I just want to relax sometimes."

Wang Xiuling felt tired after doing only this little thing. He patted her on the shoulder and told her to practice well, then went back to the house to rest.
