Looking at the little yellow-haired mouse in her hand, Li Yiru's face turned bitter, "Taxue, you eat it... I don't like this." The kitten was kind enough to bring her food, but she was not worthy of it.
Perhaps influenced by the knowledge she gained in the modern world, which taught her that mice are prone to carrying various viruses and bacteria, she is somewhat resistant to them.
Suddenly, the original owner's experience in the mortal world came to her mind. Once, she was extremely hungry and caught a big gray rat. She skinned it and was roasting it when Li Yijin snatched it away and ate it.
The mouse was not fully cooked yet, and blood oozed out when he took a bite.
Li Yiru felt nauseous when she thought of that scene, and she retched with a "hehe" sound.
Seeing her like this, Taxue let out a "meow" and turned around anxiously, as if she was unable to communicate. She picked up the little mouse, patted its head with her paw, and meowed twice anxiously.
This is... not for her to eat, but for her to feed something to the mice?
The mouse was too small, having only grown a layer of fur, and looked like it was still nursing. She caught it in the snow and asked her to feed it.
So, her pet Taxue got another pet?
Li Yiru found it unbelievable. How could she bring back such a small pet? It was such a hassle.
But she still resigned herself to preparing things. After all, Taxue looked so expectant. She would do anything to make it happy.
I took out some of the rice that I had put in there earlier from the space. I wanted to add some minced meat, but I was afraid that it was too small to digest, so I picked some leaves of the spiritual tonic and put them in to cook.
After the rice turned into rice paste, Li Yirou used water magic to speed up the cooling. She carefully led the paste into the reeds and poured it into the little mouse's mouth.
It started eating reflexively, sucking with its little mouth. It was so small, less than half the size of a palm, but it managed to eat almost all the rice soup in the casserole. It smacked its lips and fell asleep again.
Taxue was no longer anxious and looked at the scene with satisfaction, like a scumbag father who claimed to love his children but could do nothing about it.
During this time, another spiritual consciousness swept over, as if watching what Li Yiru was doing next. She pretended to know nothing, but became more anxious about buying the formation plate.
She didn't want her master to investigate everything she did. It made her feel too insecure and uncomfortable.
Li Yiru placed the mouse on the pillow he had received when he was a menial disciple, making it its nest, and only then could he begin to practice.
She only lacks the last bit of meridians. After improving it, she will be able to reach the first level of Qi Refining.
Li Yirou methodically breathed in and out the five elements' spiritual energy and absorbed the spiritual energy of space. When dawn approached, her body emitted a layer of faint light, which soon disappeared.
When she opened her eyes again, she had already reached the first level of Qi Refining! This time, she clearly smelled an unprecedented sour odor emanating from her body, like the stench of fermented garbage left unthrown in the summer. It was truly unbearable.
Li Yirou pinched her nose and couldn't wait for hot water, so she rinsed it directly with cold water.
The smell was very touching and intoxicating. After washing it, she still felt as if it had been marinated. She frowned and sniffed it, and could still smell a faint smell, indicating that it had not been completely cleaned.
When she touched her skin, she found a layer of oil, which was difficult to wash off with just water. She was also very uncomfortable because she had no soap.
Suddenly remembering the Dust Removal Technique, it could clean all the grease stains from the dismembered beast meat. Li Yiru quickly ran back to the house to take out the spell book that had been distributed to her. It contained some simple spells that could be learned after reaching the first level of Qi Refining, and the Dust Removal Technique was among them.
She tried to mobilize her spiritual power, made hand seals with her hands, chanted silently, and cast the spell on herself. When she looked again, one of her arms was clean.
He tried to expand the range again, continuously guiding the spiritual energy to transform into magic spells, and finally cleared all the dirt on his body.
After refining Qi to the first level, Li Yiru clearly felt that the amount of spiritual energy stored in her body had increased a lot, and she could use the spells more persistently, unlike before when she would be exhausted after just a few moves.
Her five senses have been enhanced, especially her sense of smell. She can smell the grass and trees in the yard, the little mice in the house, the footprints left by people walking on the snow, and any special smell, just like a human police dog.
She excitedly returned to the house to continue practicing. After entering into a state of meditation, she was able to attract more spiritual energy. Before, she could only absorb 5 light spots of each kind of spiritual energy, but after entering the first level of Qi Refining, it became 20, which added up to 100.
After a full cycle, the light spot turns into a small mist. This is what is truly called Qi refining, which also condenses the spiritual energy in the environment into purer magic power.
She tried to use the Water-Conduction Technique to condense the water spirit in the air into water, and after several attempts she finally succeeded.
Although it was only a small ball, it meant that she could improve the effect of the spell to a higher level.
Just as she was about to continue practicing and gaining insights, the little mouse nestled on the pillow began to squeak, and Taxue disappeared again. Li Yirou sighed and took out some food to make rice porridge for it.
Thinking about cultivation and the spells she had read, Li Yiru also made rice porridge.
But this time, the little ball of fur started spitting out the food after taking a bite, and turned its head away, refusing to continue drinking.
It was fine yesterday. Li Yirou frowned, worried that something might happen to her pet. What happened?
After a moment of suspicion, he suddenly realized that there was no spiritual herbs added to the rice porridge today. This little kid is really picky.
She could only add a few more leaves and boil it again, and when she fed it to the dog again, it drank it obediently.
…
After drinking, the little fur ball curled up and continued to sleep. Li Yiru observed it for a while and found that its fur seemed to be thicker than yesterday. The light golden hair covered its whole body. It curled up there like a dumpling. Although it was not as cute as Stepping Snow, it was also very cute.
"Let's call you Duobao!" I originally wanted to call it Tangyuan, but it couldn't reflect the golden light all over its body, making it look like a magical treasure. I also hoped that I could get more magic weapons, so I gave it an auspicious name.
Li Yiru let out a breath. Her interest in cultivation was interrupted and she suddenly didn't want to continue.
He took out his sword skills to practice the moves again, but he still couldn't find the feeling.
He took out the book of spells and learned a few more moves, but he still lacked interest.
I simply made another pot of rice porridge for Duobao and put it next to it to see if it would eat it by itself.
After cooking, Li Yirou divided the food into several porcelain plates and placed them on the table next to Duobao to ensure that it would not drown in the rice paste while eating.
Bored, Li Yirou suddenly thought of going to Tianjie Mountain! Now that she had reached the first level of Qi Refining, she could go to the first peak to see if there were any spiritual plants that had slipped through the net.
She practiced several spells again, both for attack and defense, and then she made some preparations. She went to the dining hall to have a meal first. This time, she could actually smell a hint of fresh spiritual energy from the unpalatable taste.
Seeing that Aunt Xiuling was in good spirits, she felt even more secure and happy. Her life was getting better and better!
After dinner, she set off for the first peak.
The first peak of Tianjie Mountain is about 500 meters above sea level. There are many paths on the mountain trampled out by disciples, but nowadays almost no one goes to the first and second peaks.
The mountain was covered with lush vegetation, but just as she had expected, she did not find any spiritual plants of any quality. Since Li Yiru was already there, she simply picked a basket of various fruits and some flowers and leaves that could be used for brewing.
He used the wood-related magic to sense the situation, endured the discomfort, and found some fat worms. He wrapped them in leaves and put them in the backpack to see if Duobao would eat them.
