Chapter 13 Faded

Lu Li stopped helplessly and opened the door. It turned out to be Chen Zhong and Qin Shouren.

Chen Zhong was holding a large bowl of steamed buns and looked at Lu Li with a silly smile on his face, "Nihou, I got you some food."

Lu Li then realized that it was getting dark outside. He thanked them and invited them into the room.

"Nihou, you can't practice without eating. There is still a lot of time in the future." Qin Shouren said as they sat at the table.

"I know. I just got the technique for the first time. I'm so excited." Lu Li said while eating a steamed bun: "Didn't you practice today?" "I practiced for two hours and found that the speed of refining the true qi was too slow. Besides, my acupoint barrier is seven layers. I don't know when I can break it." Qin Shouren said a little disappointedly, "You think we won't really be like what old man Yu Tong said, and we will never reach the second level in our lifetime?" Lu Li was stunned and comforted: "Don't worry, we are still young, take your time." He seemed to remember something and bent down to secretly take out the pill formula, "Don't we still have this?" "This is... the pill formula!" Qin Shouren's face was happy when he heard it, "Hurry up and see what's written on it." Chen Zhong also hurried over. Lu Li nodded and lowered his voice to recite: "First-level green bamboo grass, first-level thunder and fire orchid, five hundred years of earth milk essence, and... what is this?"

Lu Li suddenly stared at the last ghostly pattern, which looked like a strawberry, but with a few strokes on it that looked like smoke.

"I know, this is a strawberry on fire!" Chen Zhong said suddenly.

Lu Li and Qin Shouren rolled their eyes at Chen Zhong at the same time. Lu Li said, "No matter what it is, you two remember the first three. I remember that the errand disciples have the job of taking care of the medicine garden. If there is a chance, do you understand?"

"Understand!"

Of course, the two understood what Lu Li said. Their spiritual roots were mixed. If they practiced step by step, they might not be able to break through to the second level of Qi training in this life.

Seeing this, Lu Li nodded and solemnly instructed: "I have to remind you, Fan Zhengping said that this recipe is not even available in the major sects. If it is leaked, it will definitely lead to a fatal disaster. You two have to be careful, especially the beasts..."

"I know, don't look at me as careless, I know how to deal with this kind of thing." Qin Shouren said seriously.

"Well, that's good."

After eating, Lu Li drove the two out, saying that he was going to practice, and asked them not to relax their practice just because they had the recipe for the acupuncture pill. After all, there is no clue about this thing so far.

After the two left, Lu Li lay down on the bed directly, because he found that lying or sitting would not affect entering the Time Hall.

And if he sat, he always felt sore in his waist and back after coming out, lying down was much more comfortable, and even if others came in, they would only think he was sleeping.

Just after practicing for more than 30 hours, the first layer of the gold barrier of his second acupoint had begun to loosen, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and break it directly.

Just when Lu Li was practicing.

In a cave on Tianjue Peak, in the back mountain of Qingyang Sect, three old men were happily drinking wine.

One of the old men in green was the second elder Yu Tong who tested the spiritual roots of Lu Li and the other two today.

If Lu Li was here, he would have also seen the other man, the gray-clothed old Taoist who went to Longxing Town to recruit new members that day. He was actually the third elder Fang Buwei of Qingyang Sect.

As for the old Taoist with a restrained aura and a ruddy face sitting in the east, he was Xiao Jue, the famous elder of Qingyang Sect.

The three of them talked happily and laughed from time to time.

After a while, several people had a bit of drunkenness on their faces.

Yu Tong suddenly thought of something interesting, leaned over the table, and said mysteriously, "Brother Xiao, Brother Fang, I encountered an interesting thing today, do you want to hear it?"

"What interesting thing?" Xiao Jue and the others looked at Yu Tong at the same time.

Yu Tong was usually very serious and rarely gossiped, but they were very curious.

"Hehe, you may not believe it, but I actually encountered a nine-spiritual root today... Oh my god, nine-spiritual root, I have never heard of it in my life, let alone seen it with my own eyes. You don't know, I was stunned at the time, and I explored it again and again, and I still think it's incredible."

"Nine...spiritual roots?" Xiao Jue rolled his eyes, "Second brother, you can't brag like this, you might as well just say that you recruited a heavenly spiritual root, I might believe you a little bit."

"That's right." Fang Buwei shook his head helplessly and said, "Although I recruited a double spiritual root this time, it won't hit you like this, right?"

The double spiritual root that Fang Buwei mentioned was actually the girl named Xiaoyun who was recruited in Longxing Town. This incident caused a sensation in Qingyang Sect at the time, and even the head of the sect, Li Xuanyang, who had been in seclusion for three years, came out in person.

Fang Buwei also attracted a lot of attention and received a lot of rewards because of this.

"Yes, the third elder was able to recruit a person with two spiritual roots this time, which is also a contribution to the sect. Second elder, you are a bit too much to insinuate like this." Xiao Jue shook his head and said.

"Who is insinuating? Let me tell you, it's not just nine spiritual roots, there are two seven spiritual roots with him!"

"Hey..." Xiao Jue and Fang Buwei looked at each other and sighed helplessly. They didn't expect that a person with two spiritual roots would make the second elder jealous like this.

But then again, the other party is in charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and this was originally the Foreign Affairs Hall's business. Unexpectedly, the Third Elder took the lead. No one would feel good.

"Ah, hammer!" Seeing the expressions of the two, Yu Tong was so angry that he slammed the table, "You don't believe it, right? If you don't believe it, go to the Foreign Affairs Hall tomorrow to ask. I still remember that the three guys were named Lu Li, Qin Shouren and Chen Zhong. You can find out if you go and check it out yourself..."

Make up, continue to make up...

The two stared at Yu Tong quietly, their faces full of sadness.

"It's faded! I won't drink anymore, Cao!!!"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Yu Tong was furious, saying that the friendship had faded, and as he said that, he stepped on the table and flew out with a whoosh.

The next moment.

"Ouch!"

There was a sudden cry of pain and a crisp sound of a snap from outside.

Xiao Jue and Fang Buwei looked at each other and hurried out, only to see Yu Tong falling down under a banana tree, which was as thick as a bucket and had been broken into two pieces.

"Second brother, you don't drink when you fly a sword, and you don't fly a sword when you drink. You..."

Xiao Jue's face was shaking wildly, and he obviously couldn't hold back his laughter.

"It's too light, too light!" Yu Tong stood up with a somersault, stretched out his hand, and a long sword whizzed out. He ignored the two people shouting behind him and flew away without looking back.

The next morning...
