319, Real World 02
"I feel a little embarrassed." In the room, Yu Heng covered his eyes with his arms and whispered. Just now, I almost lost control of my emotions. He was still crying in front of his own father at such an old age.
So embarrassing!
Ruiting quickly comforted him: "What's the shame? You are father and son. Dad Yu is so kind and what he said is very good." It flew to Yu Heng's face and rubbed his hand: "Really, Dad Yu said it very well. "Host, you have to listen to Dad Yu." Otherwise, it is true that parents are very sensitive to changes in their children. It was not good and had no position to say so. Fortunately, Father Yu stood up and gave the host some relief.
It looked at the host's face carefully, not knowing what the host was thinking right now.
"Yes, my dad said it very well." Yu Heng put down his hand and looked into the void. "No matter how much I go through, I'm still the weak person who just cried."
Ruitin took some screenshots from his memory, and it seemed that... at that time... when it was chosen as the host by rt9009, he was indeed crying in the dark. No, no, no, you definitely can't say that now. It quickly listed the rewards and soul attributes that the host had obtained from these missions, and finally made a firm conclusion: "Host, you are very, very great, please don't feel ashamed."
"Thank you." Yu Heng cheered up quickly. After all, he was not really a weak person, he just had a serious heart problem and his weakness was poked. He analyzed the calculations carefully and had to admit that Cui Nan's proposal was correct. Of course he knew how good Shan Linggen was, but such a cultivation speed was indeed too slow. He couldn't keep his parents tied to his belt. Besides, becoming stronger would also be a guarantee for his parents.
Mukui Forest is not far away. If you don't go deep, you can go back and forth in one day. He had previously thought about getting some spiritual plants for his parents to eat. There must be some in Mukui Forest.
Then go try it!
Neither he nor Cui Nan were procrastinators. They agreed to go out and left early the next morning before dawn. One person rides a horse and arrives at Mukui Forest at dawn. Mukui Forest is a low-level forest nearby. It is quite big, but the things it produces are not high-level. I heard that the highest prey that ever appeared was a third-level spiritual beast. At that time, everyone was robbed like crazy, and finally it was five Ten pieces of spiritual stones were sold, which was already considered a sky-high price among the monks in the Qi Refining Stage. The third-level spiritual beast is equivalent to a monk in the early stage of foundation building. After eating its flesh and blood, it can even rush from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage. No Qi Refining Stage monk can resist this temptation.
Therefore, Mukui Forest is always very lively, and there is also a circle of tents, restaurants and the like around the perimeter, where ordinary people can earn some hard money.
"It seems that horses can't be brought in." As soon as he got close to Mukui Forest, the horse underneath him became restless and seemed to be scared.
"Because it's the suppression of the spiritual beasts in the forest." Yu Heng jumped off his horse and saw a stable, so he took the horse there to send it. It was not expensive. It was charged by the hour and he received crystal coins.
"Let's go."
When we entered the Mukui Forest, the sun had just risen and there were few people in the forest. The "Encyclopedia of Plant Knowledge" that Yu Heng had memorized long ago finally came into play. He kept scanning the plants that came into his eyes. However, there is really nothing good in the outer area. It has been dug up a hundred and eighty times, so there is nothing else left.
So he had no choice but to move forward. He and Cui Nan both had weapons. The weapons came from the ordinary long swords he bought from the sub-exchange system. They had no attributes and could be used no matter what kind of skills they practiced. They were low-level magic weapons. The sales in the store are very good, almost every monk in the Qi Refining Stage has a handful of them.
The deeper into the forest, Yu Heng could feel the stronger spiritual energy, and at the same time, spiritual plants began to appear in his field of vision. He brought out the backpack, dug up the suitable ones and threw them on his back. If Cui Nan didn't understand, he would read more and ask more questions, and he would gain something one after another.
Yu Heng also saw the spiritual cabbage that his parents cooked for him. He immediately dug it out happily and thought about setting up a spiritual gathering array at home to grow it himself, so that it would be convenient to eat in the future. What he lacks is these fresh materials and spiritual stones! He is most in need of secret books and so on. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She hasn't risen to the level yet and doesn't have anything, so she doesn't start playing around with it.
The contents of the baskets gradually increased, but they did not encounter even a first-level spiritual beast. It was almost noon, and there were more and more people in the forest. Walking 500 meters, they could encounter three or four groups of people, and none of them The exceptions are all monks. Things are harder to find.
"Spiritual beast!"
"Where where?!"
Yu Heng and Cui Nan looked at each other and ran towards the commotion together. While running, Yu Heng did see a plush tail, and many people were chasing it. Spiritual beasts contain good spiritual energy and can be eaten by both monks and mortals. Mortals can eat them to extend their lives, and they have always been very popular in the market.
"Let's chase each other separately and meet under the tree just now!"
The two separated, and Yu Heng leaped through the forest. He had already used his fastest speed but still couldn't catch up with the others.
As a general rule of fitness, no matter how well you practice, you are still just an ordinary person!
He stopped and did not pursue him any further. The monks flew past him one by one and disappeared without a trace within a few breaths.
Later, when he met Cui Nan, both of them shook their heads. Cui Nan said: "I want to save spiritual stones and go to Lifang Pavilion in the city to buy a speed-related secret book. Otherwise, I won't be able to catch up with others."
Yu Heng nodded solemnly: "You are right."
Now that you are ready to go out for training, you must prepare in all aspects. Previously, he had put cultivation on hold intentionally or unintentionally, and he wanted to practice but paradoxically slowed down the progress. It was indeed the wrong choice! Those who are obsessed with the authorities know clearly, in the real world, he is indeed an idiot.
After thinking it through, his mind became clear.
First, he needed to find out what he needed for the training, such as the speed secrets. He found a book [Flowing Light Step] from the [Complete Encyclopedia of Immortal Cultivation Knowledge]. This was a low-level technique with four levels. After practicing to the top level, it was enough for him to use in the Qi Refining Stage. He planned to give Cui Nan a copy of this secret book, and two other techniques suitable for the water and wood dual spiritual roots.
In addition to the things given before, as long as Cui Nan took it seriously and practiced well, he would be almost there in the Qi Refining Stage. When Cui Nan officially built his foundation, he would have to walk the rest of the way by himself.
Second, he began to ask the cultivators he knew about the situation of Mukui Forest.
Cui Nan was very moved. He didn't say anything, but he remembered his cousin's kindness in his heart. With these things, he saved a lot of time and energy, and he could benefit more from this time spent on cultivation. It was difficult to buy these secrets by himself. Although Lifang Pavilion had a large number of secrets, it only accepted spirit stones.
A cultivator who has just entered the Qi Refining Stage or a mortal who is preparing to cultivate immortality does not even have a technique, so how can he have such a thing as a spirit stone? And crystal coins are rarely exchanged for spirit stones, no cultivator does this! This vicious cycle makes it extremely difficult for casual cultivators to survive.
Because of his master, his cousin generously shared the blessings with him, but he could not accept it as a matter of course, and he would have to return it in the future.
Yu Heng did not know what Cui Nan was thinking. He was studying the Liuguang Step at this time. His comprehension ability was outstanding. He practiced the first level in just three days.
Watching her son floating on the wooden pillars in the backyard, Yu's mother was very proud! Her son is excellent, and the best child in all of Nanzhou is her child.
The wooden pillars in the yard were made of trees that Yu Heng cut from the outside of the Mukui Forest. Each one is more than six feet tall. At the beginning, he often fell off, but he was no longer injured since yesterday and could walk on the wooden pillars awkwardly. Today, the first level was practiced, and he walked on the wooden pillars as if it were flat ground.
The couple looked at it with relief and said, "Nanzhou is really good." "Yes, it's great."
Practicing the first level is equivalent to opening a gap. Yu Heng practiced to the third level in one go, and it was difficult to make any further progress. His cultivation level has also improved. He has already touched the edge of the third level of Qi Refining, so he hurriedly closed his eyes again and spent eight days to advance to the third level of Qi Refining.
Entering the third level also means that he can practice the Fiery Palm.
After coming out of seclusion, Yu's father and mother were very happy. Yu's father said, "The cabbage has grown. Your mother and I will cut two to make dumplings for you."
The son is busy these days, and the couple has nothing to do. Every day they take care of the spiritual plants that their son brought back from the Mukui Forest. It doesn't mean that all plants growing in places with spiritual energy are spiritual plants. They must contain spiritual energy. The seeds are passed down from generation to generation, and the possibility of nurturing spiritual plants is getting higher and higher.
Mukui Forest is such a gathering area. The probability of spiritual objects appearing in it is higher than outside. After digging up the spiritual plants, Yu Heng used four spiritual stones to build a spiritual gathering array to raise those spiritual plants. New seedlings have grown over the past few days.
"Okay, where is my cousin?"
"He is practicing with the wooden stake in the backyard. Go and play with him."
Yu Heng refused to go: "I will make dumplings with you."
"Okay, okay, let's go and cut cabbage."
After separating the two watery spiritual plants, Yu Heng went to fetch well water to wash them. Every leaf was moist and jade-like, and it was very clean after a little watering. After wrapping the dumplings, Yu's mother sent him away again: "Go and call your cousin to eat dumplings."
In the backyard, Cui Nan was practicing the Liuguang Step on the wooden stake. When he heard Yu Heng calling him, he jumped down and said happily: "You are out of retreat? The third level of Qi Refining?"
"Yes."
"That's great."
The two chatted and returned to the house. The dumplings were already in the pot and were emitting a rich aroma. Cui Nan took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Now I smell this smell and I don't want to eat ordinary meals."
"Yes, it tastes really good. After eating, my stomach is still warm and comfortable. It is indeed what the immortals eat."
"Then I will dig more next time and bring it back, and we will eat it every meal at home."
After another half a month, Cui Nan successfully practiced to the second level, and Yu Heng also consolidated the third level of Qi Refining. The two made an appointment to go to Mukui Forest again. This time, because they made some progress, the Liuguang Step ran several meters faster with one breath, entering a deeper area that they did not enter last time.
The harvest was also very good. Not only did he catch a second-level spirit beast, but he also used some spells in the battle, which increased his experience in fighting enemies.
The first prey is always memorable. Yu Heng did not plan to sell it. He took it home and asked his parents to pack it up. This is a Leiyin rabbit, a second-level spirit beast. Its two ears can send lightning attacks. Fortunately, both of them learned the Liuguang step to catch up and avoid lightning, otherwise they would be roasted.
Even so, Yu Heng was still injured. After drinking the Leiyin rabbit hind leg stew, his injuries healed very quickly. The abundant spiritual energy is not comparable to the previous cabbages. He listed the recipes and the amount of Leiyin rabbit for his parents, fearing that they would not be able to bear eating too many spiritual things at once.
A Leiyin rabbit with a body size of only half a meter was eaten by four people in three days, which made Yu's father and mother look rosy and energetic. Seeing this, Yu Heng was happy and he was full of fighting spirit when he went to Kuimu Kui Forest again.
