As soon as the door closed, Chen Li quickly took off his Taoist robe.
At least for a short period of time, he didn't want to wear this robe anymore.
"What bad luck!"
"This world is too dangerous!"
Chen Li secretly decided in his heart that he would go out as little as possible in the future.
Thinking of the old monk's gloomy and slightly manic expression, he felt goosebumps on his skin. It seemed that his home was no longer safe. He was suspicious for a while and then stopped his unruly thoughts.
It's strange to say that from yesterday to now, I haven't eaten for almost a day.
I didn't feel much hunger in my belly.
"I guess I'm too hungry!" He touched his belly.
For the sake of his own health, Chen Li felt that he should fill his stomach with something.
At the age of forty, it is also the age when you should learn to maintain your health.
It will be too late to regret it when you are like the possessed old monk who feels calm and calm when seeing a woman.
What's the use of living longer then?
Chen Li walked to the kitchen, which is a restaurant and kitchen. The smoke inside was mixed with the smell of decay and earth. It was not a pleasant smell, but it was bearable enough.
The stove is similar to the earthen stove in rural areas, but it is more crude.
With his rich picnic experience since childhood, Chen Li studied for a while and got the general idea.
He took some spiritual rice from the rice vat and washed it clean.
Under the infiltration of water, the spiritual rice becomes crystal clear, like beautiful gems, which is really pleasing to look at.
Not to mention anything else, just based on its appearance, it would be a luxury-level treasure on earth.
Put the washed rice into the pot, pour an appropriate amount of water, and then use the fire-kindling technique to light the firewood and start cooking. Gradually, the fragrance begins to spread, which is a fragrance that has never been smelled before.
It seems to bring out the hunger in people.
Chen Li couldn't help but salivate, his saliva was secreted wildly, and his stomach, which was not very hungry at first, began to "gurgling".
After a few minutes, he felt that the fire was almost done, so he put out the firewood.
After being bored for about ten minutes, he couldn't wait to open the lid of the pot.
Suddenly a fragrant and alluring fragrance hit your nostrils.
"Gudong"
Chen Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"It's less cooked. I can eat three big bowls of the food just because of the aroma." Chen Li sighed in a low voice.
Although there was no food to begin with.
He filled a large bowl of rice. After the rice grains absorbed the water, they became even more shiny and full. He didn't care about burning them. He picked up his chopsticks and eagerly took a bite of the rice.
“It smells so good!”
Although the rice is still a bit raw, the cooking temperature is also a bit lacking.
But it does not affect the taste of the rice itself at all.
As expected, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. After a few bites, the whole stomach becomes warm.
Chen Li, who had never seen the "world", wolfed it down for a while, and after a few minutes, he ate up a large bowl full of rice.
He leaned back on the chair, rubbing his belly and feeling extremely satisfied, so lazily that he didn't even want to move.
"Wait, we can't waste it." He remembered something and hurried back to the bedroom to meditate and practice.
…
"call!"
However, after a while, Chen Li let out a long breath.
After regulating the restless spiritual power for a while, I slowly ended my first practice.
He glanced at the properties panel hopefully.
Except that the proficiency of the longevity skill has increased by 1 point, the level has not improved at all.
He was slightly disappointed, but soon relieved.
The original owner was originally a low-level casual cultivator with ordinary qualifications. Otherwise, he would not be just wandering around the third level of Qi training if he was much older.
Even he himself was not an outstanding person before time travel.
I was born in an ordinary family, went to an ordinary high school, and went through a lot of effort to get into an ordinary university. After graduation, I found an ordinary job with an ordinary salary. If nothing else happens, I will still do it in the future.
Find an ordinary woman with ordinary looks who can live a down-to-earth life to get married.
Repeated beatings from society made him learn to give up those unrealistic fantasies and recognize his own mediocrity.
…
For the next few days, Chen Li could not leave the house or take any steps, and he completely lived at home.
Draw talisman and practice Qi every day.
Rest when you are tired and eat when you are hungry.
My life was extremely fulfilling, and instead of losing weight, my body actually gained some fat.
During this period, the progress of drawing talismans improved by leaps and bounds. After the cleansing talisman, the silent talisman and the guiding talisman were conquered one after another. I also took the time to learn a simple spell, and my proficiency in the company's longevity skills also improved rapidly.
It’s just that the progress of the third level of Qi training cannot be shaken and there is no progress at all.
Chen Li also looked away, saying there was nothing to worry about. After he became familiar with this world, acquired a skill, and saved enough money, he was ready to go to the mortal world.
When the time comes, buy good land and live in a big house.
Eat well, drink spicy food every day, and find a few beautiful women to marry.
Those days... weren't they better than living in shantytowns now, practicing in vain every day with no hope?
However, as the rice tank gradually bottomed out, Chen Li began to become more and more anxious day by day.
In the evening, Chen Li looked at the few spiritual rice left and sighed.
"There are only two meals left."
"I can't delay it any longer. I have to go to Fangshi tomorrow morning!" Chen Li made a decision secretly with a solemn expression.
I always feel like nothing is ready.
After dinner, Chen Li began to prepare for going out tomorrow morning with a lot of thoughts.
"Bring all the talismans...gold, take half of them...if the talismans are not sold well, you can exchange them for some ordinary food!"
Not all monks are aloof and indifferent to the world. Most of the monks who go to the market are mediocre casual cultivators at the bottom. Their lives are no different from ordinary civilians. In Chen Li's memory, there are many people who hunt for a living.
"By the way, you should also bring a sword. Oh, I should have learned a few sword skills if I had known."
Chen Li picked up the sword, pulled it out and waved it around a few times, then carefully inserted it into the scabbard.
A look of annoyance.
I decided in my heart that when I come back from my trip tomorrow, I must practice my sword well.
Too many skills don’t overwhelm the body.
Maybe it can save lives at a critical moment.
…
That night, Chen Li suffered from insomnia for the first time in a long time.
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, he opened his bloodshot eyes and meditated for a while. When the sky was completely bright, he started to put on his monk's robe and placed the willow leaf darts he carried with him one by one on his waist.
, touched it gently with his hand a few times, and then attached the sword.
The Taoist robe is still the same as before.
Chen Li originally wanted to burn it or throw it away.
But later he discovered that this was his only one.
Now when he goes out, for the sake of dignity, he can only bear to continue wearing it.
Chen Li really didn't want to complain about the original owner, but sometimes he just couldn't help it.
If you have money to go to Goulan, wouldn't it be better to buy a few sets of clothes and change them?
He took out a cleansing charm and quickly burned it with a shake of his hand. Following an invisible force, the entire Taoist robe immediately became as clean as new.
Finally he picked up the baggage containing gold and stood at the door.
