After riding for more than half an hour, Su Yi returned to his community.
Due to the large amount of living space being occupied by extraordinary creatures, urban housing is now in short supply.
In a slum community like the one Su Yi lives in, greening and lighting are no longer considered at all. Rows of buildings are so close to each other that they want to be completely connected.
Darkness and dampness are the main style here, especially those on the lower floors. It's like living in a cave, with not much light available all day long.
"Is this my home?"
Su Yi sniffed hard, and a smell mixed with musty and garbage odor hit his face.
The amazing thing was that he didn't feel like nauseating at all.
It must be that this body has long been used to it.
Looking at this old residential building with at least thirty years of history, Su Yi was not too surprised. After locking his bicycle, he climbed up the stairs according to his memory.
The handrails in the corridor were rusty, large pieces of putty on the walls were moldy and peeling off, and there was a group of scalp-numbing millipedes lingering in the corner.
"Mom, I'm back."
Su Yi took out the key, opened the door, and shouted into the house habitually.
But the room was empty and no one responded to him.
"She shouldn't have to work the night shift today. Could it be that she's filling in for her colleagues again?"
Su Yi shook his head.
In order to earn more wages, Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu often helped her colleagues cover shifts, which lasted fifteen or six hours. Su Yi had advised her many times not to work so hard, as it was not worth it to break her body, but it was in vain.
After washing and cooking rice, he took out the prepared ingredients from the refrigerator and made two random dishes. Su Yi just made do with it and ate it.
Although his cooking skills are not great, the dishes he cooks are still tasty.
After hastily finishing his meal, Su Yi wandered around the door twice to help digest, and then returned to his room.
He took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and prepared to start his "first" meditation.
Meditation is not a cultivation method that the beast masters have figured out by themselves, but was discovered by the armies of various countries in the secret realm at the beginning of the disaster more than forty years ago.
Meditation is not about closing your eyes and thinking blindly, but you need to follow rules, empty your mind, immerse yourself in the world, and resonate with the free spiritual energy.
After your mental power reaches a certain level, you can try to activate spiritual energy and open up a space for controlling beasts.
The beast control space can include pet beasts that have signed a contract.
In the beast control space, pet beasts can use the spiritual power of the beast control master to speed up their cultivation.
Moreover, the higher the mental power of the beast master, the greater the benefit to the pet beast.
Obviously, the beast control space created by the beast control master belongs to the space system ability.
For this reason, many experts in animal control have asserted:
There is no essential difference between humans and other extraordinary creatures, except that the racial talents of other extraordinary creatures are fire, ice, earth, etc., while the racial talents of humans are spiritual and space.
Of course, although such remarks have a certain market, there are still many things that are difficult to justify.
The most puzzling thing is:
Since humans are extraordinary creatures of the spiritual and space systems, why can't they master other spiritual or space abilities on their own, except for contracting pet beasts and opening up space to control beasts?
Extraordinary spiritual creatures like the little sea turtle have a series of skills such as sleeping, enchantment, and hallucination.
The space beast, the Sky-Splitting Luan, has extremely powerful abilities such as space jumping and space collapse.
There is no reasonable explanation for these questions so far.
"My mental strength seems to have really improved!"
Just after entering the meditative state, Su Yi found that his mental power was stronger than before and he could activate more spiritual power.
However, he did not rush to open up his first beast-controlling space, but entered into deep meditation as usual.
He wanted to adjust his mental state to the best before trying to make a breakthrough.
This way the success rate is higher!
He didn't want to fail again. The backlash after failing to open up a beast-controlling space was very painful, almost like staying up for two days and two nights without sleeping.
After entering deep meditation, you can hardly feel the passage of time.
I don’t know how long it took, but his mental strength had become full.
However, just when he was about to try to break through, there was suddenly a slight knock on the door outside the room.
"Xiao Yi, are you asleep?"
In just an instant, Su Yi withdrew from the meditative state.
"I didn't sleep."
He responded and hurried over to open the door.
Naturally, he could tell that it was his mother Jiang Xiaoxiu's voice.
But he was a little strange, why did Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu come knocking on his door at this hour? In order not to disturb his meditation, Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu didn't even want to put on her shoes after coming home from get off work!
"Why do you get off work so early today?"
Su Yi glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist and saw that it was not yet nine o'clock, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Did you sleep? I don't have to work the night shift today."
Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu flipped up her hair, then took out a beautiful rectangular wooden box from her bag, and said with a smile: "Here, I bought this for you."
"What?"
Su Yi took the wooden box and opened it curiously.
The next moment, his eyes froze.
What’s inside is actually Condensing Grass!
There are three Condensing Grasses!
Before he could speak, Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu rubbed her hands, which were slightly red from the cold, and continued:
"You, Teacher Liu, called me and said that you need these things to assist with your cultivation. You, my child, too. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you need something for your studies? You can use these three plants first. If they are not enough, come back to me.
explain."
It turns out that she didn't go to work the night shift, but went to buy Ningshen Grass...
"mom……"
Looking at Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu who looked careless, Su Yi's nose felt a little sore.
He knows the situation at home very well.
Just these three Concentrating Grasses will probably consume all the family's savings, and they may even be in debt.
Before time travel, this little money was nothing in his eyes, but this same love brought back many memories for him.
It seems that after I started working, I rarely communicated with Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu. Occasionally I would go home for a few days and would find her nagging...
Looking at the mother in front of him who was much younger than he remembered, Su Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to have gradually forgotten many things before traveling through time.
However, there seems to be something wrong with this Ningshen Grass!
"Mom, where did you buy this Ningshen Grass?"
Su Yi discovered something and frowned immediately.
"I bought it at the overseas shopping market opposite Yushou Department Store. There is a stall there that is holding an event. If you buy three plants, you will get a 30% discount. Each plant is only 6,999. What's wrong? Is there any problem? Hai
Taobao is one of the top ten big companies in our Longteng Kingdom. It advertises every day, so it should...shouldn't sell fakes, right?"
Seeing Su Yi's appearance, Jiang Xiaoxiu suddenly became nervous.
This is something worth more than 20,000 yuan!
"It's either a fake, or the quality is a little bit worse. The psychic energy it contains is only about 90% of the standard Condensing Grass. But if you buy it at a 30% discount, it's not a loss."
Su Yi replied with a smile.
"That's good. I was scared to death. I thought I was cheated."
Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm just lucky this time. Don't buy this kind of stuff by yourself in the future. I'm half a beast master after all. I can sense the psychic energy inside. I can tell at a glance if it's shrunk."
Su Yi said seriously.
"Can you tell at a glance? It turns out that our Xiaoyi is already so good! Mom knows, and she will take you with her from now on."
Ms. Jiang Xiaoxiu showed a proud smile on her face and continued: "It's getting late, so I won't disturb you anymore. Remember to go to bed early."
"Well, you should also go to bed early."
Su Yi watched her leave, then gently closed the door.
The moment the door closed, the smile on his face disappeared.
He glanced at the Ningshen Grass in his hand again, and a surge of anger filled his head.
