This time, she carefully placed the low-level spiritual plants into the space, believing that they would not be lost again.
Li Yiru was meditating and practicing, and Taxue curled up between her legs, sleeping quietly without disturbing her.
Entering into meditation again, the yellow light spot was still blocked by the green wood spirit. She thought that although wood overcomes earth, it also needs earth, and she didn't understand why the wood spirit was so resistant.
This time she forcibly suppressed the wood spirit, but the other party refused to be tamed and always popped up to resist the earth spirit.
Li Yirou kept trying, but unfortunately she failed until the rooster crowed.
Having prepared herself mentally, she did not feel much loss. She quickly tidied herself up and went to practice collecting dew.
This time she was more skilled in the Water-drawing Technique than before. The dew fell into her palms at her command, and it only consumed a little spiritual energy. At the same time, her body could continue to absorb and circulate it, but the speed was not as fast as after meditating.
Because she needed to collect several kinds of dew, Li Yiru was worried that the water spirit in her body was insufficient, so she wanted to think of a solution.
The big cycle takes time, and what she needs at this time is water spiritual energy, so Li Yiru tried to temporarily absorb the wood and earth spiritual energy into the meridians and dantian, and no longer attracted new ones, but wanted to directly absorb three water spiritual energies.
However, it was beyond her control, and the three kinds of spiritual energy came in one after another. She changed her mind and thought, if she succeeded, wouldn't she be like someone with only one spiritual root, and there would be no such good thing.
I can only try the method of spiritual energy transformation.
After the spiritual energy is circulated and absorbed by the meridians, it is no longer spiritual energy of a single attribute, but has the attributes of primordial spiritual energy, but is relatively biased towards its own attributes. At this time, the spiritual energy can be transformed into other attributes in the dantian, otherwise the cultivator with water spiritual roots can only use water-based spells.
In fact, as long as it is transformed, you can use the spells of other systems, but it is not as smooth as the original spiritual roots and it is more time-consuming.
Moreover, transformation of a single spiritual root is relatively faster because it only needs to be transformed once in the Dantian.
If one has multiple spiritual roots, one must transform all of the attributes one has before they can become the attribute one does not have.
She has five spiritual roots. If she wants to use the water-based spells with her wood spirit energy, it needs to be transformed in the order of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
Li Yiru learned the method of transformation from a book, but she apparently forgot that there were still two types of spiritual energy that could not be guided into the body, so the transformation failed.
By the time she figured it out, the dew had almost dissipated. She had no choice but to try something else. Li Yiru sprinkled some water on the leaves herself to see how much dew she could control.
Perhaps because she became more familiar with the spell the more she practiced it, she used less and less spiritual energy. After the circulation, the pitiful amount of water spiritual energy actually helped her collect a lot of dew.
Li Yiru felt relieved. She knew that if she could collect a few more samples tomorrow, she would not fail to complete the task. Seeing that Aunt Xiuling had not yet reached the first level of Qi Refining, she could do this job easily and casually. She must have mastered the Water-Diverting Technique.
She returned to the dining hall and found Wang Xiuling cooking.
"Aunt Xiuling, let me do it. You should rest more and don't overwork yourself." Why did she come out to work as soon as she felt better? Li Yiru was afraid that she would be tired.
"Go take the fresh meat out of the box. Elder Feng wants to eat the clay pot rice I made."
It turned out that it was a distinguished guest who placed an order. Li Yiru saw a food box on the side with a piece of meat wrapped in lotus leaves inside.
Wang Xiuling asked her to watch and learn, marinated the meat with minced garlic, shredded ginger, soy sauce, honey and salt, and asked her to pick some vegetables from the yard.
After she washed it and put it on the chopping board, Wang Xiuling was still sitting there breathing heavily. Li Yiru couldn't help but worry.
Wang Xiuling waved her hand and said, "Xiao Rou, Elder Feng is the alchemy elder. The fasting pills and soul-replenishing pills that the cultivators usually take are all made by her and her disciples."
Li Yirou suddenly realized why Wang Xiuling's cooking was so unpalatable...
"Medicine pills are very profitable, right?" Although she asked, she was quite certain in her heart.
Wang Xiuling smiled but didn't answer the question. "I thought, I've cooked a lot for her. Now that I'm almost dead, if I pass on this skill to you, she might allow you to be a chorister."
Who said she was unlucky? How could she deserve these people to plan this for her? Li Yiru's eyes turned red again. What she was more worried about at the moment was her health.
"Aunt Xiuling, please don't talk nonsense. You are so young and beautiful. If you have any illness, we can find a way to cure it. I have twelve spirit beads here. Please find someone to check on you first..."
“Hahahaha…” Wang Xiuling laughed, but with great sorrow. Her face was timeless, but she was no longer young. “Xiaorou, I’m over 90 years old…”
"How could it be!" Li Yirou couldn't believe it. She was so young and beautiful. If she asked her to call her aunt, Li Yirou would think that she had some secret technique to maintain her youthful appearance and that she was only in her thirties or forties at most.
"I've only taken the Rejuvenating Pill." Wang Xiuling didn't want to continue the conversation. "I've written a recipe here. If you don't want to practice, read it. Make one every day and I'll teach you."
"Remember, be respectful to Elder Feng. I'll wait until you've learned it, and then I'll try to ask her to keep you."
"Even if your spiritual roots are weak, you must not give up on cultivation. If you work hard, there's still a glimmer of hope. If you give up, you'll just have to watch the opportunity slip away."
"If you can be taken in by Elder Feng, you won't have to worry anymore. No one would be unwilling to give an alchemist some face."
.
If Elder Feng had not shown some interest in food, Xiao Rou would have been the most detestable existence even if she stayed by her side, so it would have been better for her not to go.
She mentioned this the last time she saw Feng Xiaoman, who found a reason to look at her and asked her to cook fish.
She said that her time was up, and that the child was clever, but unfortunately had poor spiritual roots. Elder Feng asked if he could take a liking to the child.
At that time, they were watching from a high place. Li Yiru was carrying the meat she had taken from the Deacon's Hall, walking and resting on the winding forest path. Her figure was looming, but she persisted. Although she was a small person, she worked very hard, but she never slacked off and was eager to come back to help her with the work.
Xiaoman looked at her deeply at that time, with emotions surging in his eyes, but finally calmed down.
"For Brother Zhou's sake, if she has a pure heart, I will agree to your request."
"Let her take care of you first. If you are gone, I will take her in." After saying that, Feng Xiaoman did not stay and left with her Hongling.
The alchemy elder had used up the last bit of affection he had for her, the widow.
.
Li Yirou didn't know why, but she was deeply saddened by the news that Wang Xiuling, who was over 90 years old and about to die, said, "Aunt Xiuling, take a rest, drink some water, and talk slowly."
Even when saying such simple words, Wang Xiuling would pause and take a few breaths.
Li Yirou only hated herself for being incompetent, causing Taxue to get injured while picking spiritual plants for her, and causing Aunt Xiuling to work so hard to find a way out for her...
Wang Xiuling was still gentle, "I'm just too old, don't worry. Xiaorou, I'm very happy to meet you."
"If it weren't for you, I would have accomplished nothing in my life."
"I didn't expect that before I left, I would meet someone who needed my help. My cultivation is too poor, and I'm the one in the sect who can't do anything. I'm very happy that I can finally play a role."
