Practitioners can practice fasting until they reach the foundation-building stage. Even if they don't eat any food, spiritual energy can nourish the physical body and maintain metabolism.
But this is not enough during the Qi training period. Unless they take specially refined Bigu Pills, practitioners during the Qi training period actually need to supplement nutrition and eat more than ordinary people.
The two girls had been hungry for most of the day, so naturally they ate without ceremony.
After eating and drinking, the group of four walked through the market and headed straight to the south of the city.
The courtyard of the mansion that the two girls found was indeed not bad, with three entrances and three exits, and a large back garden. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, and the pavilions and pavilions on the water were very elegant, and even decorated with a rockery.
The person selling the house was not the original owner, but a Yaxing store that specialized in intermediary sales. Su Yi took everyone around the front and back yards, and immediately decided to rent the house.
Fu Xiaozhuo was responsible for negotiating the price, and finally paid the rent for five years for the eight useless horses. It was a good deal.
After signing and handing over the deposit, the right to use the house officially belongs to Su Yi and others.
After moving into a new house, the four of them were in a very good mood. They talked and laughed and planned how to decorate and use the house.
"The plaque at the door still says Sun Residence. Master, it sounds like a curse. Should we change it first?" Ning Caichen suggested, "How about... call it Su Residence? Or Su Residence?"
"This is not my home alone. Why do I have to give my last name Su?" Su Yi disagreed, "Xiao Zhuo, take off the plaque and I'll write the inscription!"
"Yes, Master!" Fu Xiaozhuo went to the front door without saying a word, took down the plaque, and turned the back of the wooden plaque over.
Su Yi patted his storage bag and took out his earliest long sword. Without saying a word, he started writing and wrote three big characters - Hehe Tu.
"Iron painting, silver hook, three points into wood, what a good word!" Ning Caichen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Master, I understand the word "harmony", which means harmony and unity, but adding a picture word after it... what does this mean?
"
Su Yi chuckled: "This is what I hope you will not forget when you make great achievements in the future. If the benefits are gone, you can continue to fight for them, but if the affection is gone, you will have failed the four of us.
The fate of living under the same roof at this moment."
The three of them looked solemn at the same time, and they all raised their hands: "I sincerely follow the teachings of Master (Master)."
Su Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Our goal is to live in seclusion and practice quietly, so it is not suitable to be high-profile. However, the spirit gathering array and the protective array must be arranged, otherwise the progress and safety of the practice cannot be guaranteed. Didn't we go to the backyard just now to see them all?
Have you passed? I plan to dig out an underground training space three feet under the pond in the backyard, and place the spiritual eyes and spirit gathering array under the pond."
"As for the protective formation, it does not need to cover the entire house. After all, we cannot avoid dealing with outsiders. If the entire house is deployed, it will be inconvenient and likely to cause trouble. Therefore, the protective formation only needs to protect the backyard. Normally, we can live in
If you do activities in the front house and practice in seclusion, you can go underground in the backyard."
"Young Master is thoughtful and thoughtful, I think it's very good." Nie Xiaoqian praised after hearing this.
The other two people had no objections, so the matter was settled.
Digging out an underground space may be a troublesome thing for ordinary people, but for practitioners who have mastered magic, it is simple. Su Yi and Ning Caichen did not need to do anything. In less than an hour, Fu Xiao
Zhuo and Nie Xiaoqian dug out an underground space with "five rooms and one living room". Ventilation and lighting were properly arranged, and the standard furnishings of stone beds, stone benches, and benches were also complete.
Su Yi used the spirit gathering talismans to form a matrix, covering the entire underground space in a spirit gathering array. Once the spirit gathering array was activated, it was obvious that the spiritual energy in the entire underground space was much more lively.
But spiritual energy is still very limited. This is also natural. In a world containing spiritual energy, spiritual energy is not evenly distributed in every corner of the world. Instead, it is richer in some places and thinner in others. Some spiritual energy is very
Over time, spiritual veins of different sizes will be generated in strong places.
Some large spiritual veins may stretch for hundreds or even thousands of miles and branch out into many branches, but it seems that these places are all occupied by those cultivation sects.
Some small spiritual veins only cover a few miles, or even cover several feet. The small spiritual veins in Mu Laoguai's previous cave were small spiritual veins that covered two miles.
Spiritual veins are not a one-time consumption of resources, but a "recyclable" resource that continuously absorbs spiritual energy from elsewhere to strengthen itself. The largest spiritual veins in Guanggui City are located in the nearby famous mountains and rivers, and the spiritual energy in the mortal city has been
After absorbing the surrounding areas continuously, Su Yi set up a small spirit gathering array. Even if the efficiency was high, how could it compare with the power of absorbing and condensing spiritual energy from so many natural spiritual veins?
Practitioners practicing in places with thin spiritual energy and cultivating in places with abundant spiritual energy are two completely different concepts. Along the way, Su Yi carefully studied the body-training technique obtained from Mu Laoguai, and he found that it is necessary to practice this kind of technique.
The Dharma has a huge demand for spiritual energy, so finding a cave with abundant spiritual energy for practice has become an urgent need for Su Yi.
Su Yi knew that the effect of the spirit-gathering array was limited. When he left Mu Laoguai's cave, he actually wanted to move the spiritual veins away, but unfortunately it was impossible. But the spiritual veins could not be moved, but the spiritual eyes could not.
Can.
The so-called spiritual eye is actually the opening through which a spiritual vein emits spiritual energy, similar to a spring.
The spiritual eye of Mu Laoguai's cave is under the stone couch where Mu Laoguai meditates and practices. Therefore, the speed and efficiency of his practice are much higher than those of normal monks.
The spiritual eye is originally invisible and colorless, and its existence can only be sensed by the practitioner's perception. However, usually if a spiritual eye exists for a long time, it will assimilate the surrounding objects, which may be a tree or a stone.
, it may also be the surrounding soil.
The amazing thing is that these assimilated tangible spiritual eyes, even if they are removed, still have the effect of absorbing and extracting spiritual energy. Su Yi didn't know about this at first, and Nie Xiaoqian was the one who educated him about it.
After knowing this, Su Yi was of course not polite. He immediately cut Mu Laoguai's stone couch into a stone pillar, put it in a storage bag and packed it away.
This stone pillar is a spiritual eye!
After arranging the spirit gathering array, Su Yi placed the stone pillar in the middle of the hall in the underground space. As soon as the stone pillar fell to the ground, the spiritual energy in the entire underground space was obviously richer several times!
This is the effect of the spiritual eye.
Of course, the richness of the spiritual energy in the original Mu Lao Monster Cave is still much lower. After all, this is a new spiritual eye. There is no spiritual vein supply under the spiritual eye. There is only a spirit gathering array that slowly extracts the spiritual energy from the surrounding world. Now there is a spiritual eye.
The eye sits in the center, which actually complements the spirit gathering array.
But this level of spiritual energy is definitely enough for Su Yi and the other four. After all, their four realms are not high, and the speed at which they can absorb spiritual energy and the amount of spiritual energy their bodies can hold are very limited.
After solving the aura problem, Su Yi returned to the ground and arranged a protective array in the backyard, covering the entire backyard.
Of course, this protective formation was also contributed by Mu Laoguai. It is said that even the monks in the late stage of foundation building would have to spend a lot of effort to break through this formation. Although it is not very good, it is definitely not bad.
Again, it is definitely enough for Su Yi and others at this stage.
After setting up the formation, the backyard looks like the same backyard from the outside, but once someone breaks into it, a large formation will be triggered, and at least they will be trapped in it and cannot get out. If the resistance is fierce, the killing method of the large formation will be triggered to kill the intruders.
Once the killing array is activated, monks who have not yet established a foundation will die one after another without exception.
On the first day when they arrived in Guanggui City, none of the four practiced cultivation. After decorating the house, the two women cooked a sumptuous table of dishes themselves, and the four of them had another feast under the moonlight.
Because of the spiritual eyes and the spirit gathering array, lotus flowers grew wildly in the pool, which was particularly spectacular. Nie Xiaoqian was very interested in cultivating a spiritual field in the middle of the pool and planting some spiritual herbs.
Su Yi agreed, so after dinner, Nie Xiaoqian went out to buy flower seeds.
As soon as she left, someone came to the door behind her.
It was a neighbor who came to visit me, saying he wanted to get to know me and make some friends.
Neither Su Yi nor Ning Caichen were interested in this kind of thing, so they left it to Xiao Zhuo to deal with it.
Initially, he thought it was just a small incident, but soon Xiao Zhuo came to report to Su Yi with an annoyed look on his face.
"The person who came here is called Xu Feng. He is holding the deed of our house in his hand and questioning us about the crime of breaking into a private house!" Fu Xiaozhuo said angrily, "The deed is real. It was given to us by the man from the shop during the day.
I can recognize the one I saw! Master, Xu Feng said that his house has never been entrusted to Yahang for leasing, so he wants us to move out quickly or pay double the rent."
"How could this happen?" Ning Caichen had little life experience and was very angry when he heard this. "So, we were deceived by people from the dental clinic?"
"Sir, one of the two parties must be lying," Fu Xiaozhuo said unhappily, "You said before that we should keep a low profile as much as possible, but these mortals are so bold that they actually lied to us. Do we still need to be patient?
"
"Handle it your way." Su Yi didn't take this matter to heart at all. He believed that Xiao Zhuo could handle it well.
Sure enough, Fu Xiaozhuo, who had Su Yi's permission, quickly figured out the matter. It turned out that Ya Xing was colluding with this man named Xu Fenghang and wanted to blackmail Su Yi and the others.
Fu Xiaozhuo cast a few spells and made Xu Feng suffer a lot. In the end, not only did he get nothing, but he got into trouble.
But the matter is not over yet.
In the secular world, small troubles often lead to big troubles, big troubles lead to old troubles, and troubles keep coming.
Xu Feng and Na Yaxing turned out to be members of a gang called Wusemen in Guanggui City. They were not willing to accept the loss at the hands of Xiaozhuo, so they came early the next morning with hundreds of people.
Breaking down doors and causing trouble.
Fu Xiaozhuo was not polite and used a mortal sword to drive back the enemy, beating these gangsters to pieces and scattering in all directions.
Fu Xiaozhuo originally thought it was over, but who knew that at noon, a group of police officers surrounded the house, armed with crossbows and sharp blades, and asked everyone in the house to put on shackles and go to the county jail to give the people inside a stick
Please take your time, otherwise you will have to force your way in and take someone away.
Fu Xiaozhuo was shocked and angry. It couldn't be easier for her to kill the group of agents outside, but the four of them didn't come here to fight with these mortals. They came here to live in seclusion and practice. Now
What happened is obviously contrary to the original intention.
Fu Xiaozhuo thought about it and couldn't think of a safe solution, so he had to go to the backyard and report the matter to Su Yi with a face full of shame.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Su Yi asked calmly after listening to Fu Xiaozhuo's complete story.
"Sir, my mistake was that I didn't find out the origins of these guys in advance and didn't take precautions, which is why we were so passive." Fu Xiaozhuo reflected.
Su Yi smiled: "Yes, that's not right either."
"We are cultivators and they are mortals. You may think that cultivators are superior to ordinary people. You look down on them and feel that they are not worth mentioning at all." Su Yi said calmly, "Normally, this is the case. But
Our situation is different. We need to hide among mortals and concentrate on cultivation. Unless necessary, we cannot reveal our identity as practitioners. In this way, we are actually equal to mortals, and we must be on an equal footing with them.
Otherwise, anything we do will seem ignorant to them."
After a pause, he looked at Xiao Zhuo and said: "This is the first mistake you made. You didn't understand the essence of this matter. Because of this, it led to your second mistake - why are you right?
Are they showing mercy?"
Xiaozhuo, Xiaoqian, and Ning Caichen, although these three are very smart, they are all newbies who are not experienced in the world. Since they followed Su Yi, Su Yi naturally wanted to cultivate their abilities in this area.
He makes up for their shortcomings, so he is not considered a "good teacher".
When Su Yi was teaching Fu Xiaozhuo, the other two people were also present, both of them looking thoughtful.
"The order in this country is now broken. They believe in the law of the jungle and the strong." Su Yi continued, "Just because you have a big fist does not mean you are strong. You must be ruthless and wise enough."
Su Yi said and pointed to his temple: "Think about it, you beat them away with one against a hundred. These people obviously know how powerful you are and understand that you are not easy to mess with, but why do they still dare to come?"
Are you causing trouble for us?"
"Because I only defeated them but did not seriously hurt them, so although they think I am powerful, they are not afraid of me." Fu Xiaozhuo obviously figured it out and said with shame, "They think I still obey the rules, so they did it today
If something like this happens, let the police deal with me."
"A gentleman can be bullied, huh, these guys are really despicable!" Ning Caichen said angrily, slamming the table.
Su Yi glanced at him and continued to deal with Xiao Zhuo: "Actually, since you beat those people away yesterday with one against a hundred, the nature of this matter has changed. It is not blackmail or revenge, but a fight for face.
