Chapter 37: Establishing the Soul with Heaven and Earth
One year later.
Beside the Black Water Demon Lake, the delicious fragrance of fish soup wafts out.
The second elder sat down next to the big pot with bowls and chopsticks. Feng Boping followed the eating habit of sipping soup before a meal, scooped a spoonful of fish soup into the bowl and tasted it slowly, and couldn't help but admire:
"Little Mouse's craftsmanship is almost as good as the royal kitchen in the palace."
"Tsk, I haven't gotten tired of it even after eating it for a year. It's really strange."
Li Muchiu was also surprised. He didn't expect that Li Hao actually had excellent cooking talent, and his skills were getting better and better.
"Has Mr. Feng ever eaten in the imperial dining room?" Li Hao asked with a smile.
"I ate it secretly."
A sly smile appeared on Feng Bo Ping He's childlike face, as if he was reminiscing, he smacked his lips and said, "The leftover half bowl of soup, with my saliva still there, I don't know which concubine gave it to me."
"You old thief, if you are brought in front of Emperor Yu, you will have to lose your head." Li Muchiu said angrily. It was obvious that he had some knowledge of some of the things his old friend had done in the past. He was really audacious.
Li Hao couldn't help but laugh. He had known for a long time that this old master of thieves stole everything. Last time, he even gave himself a thin silk scarf. I heard that it was used by a saint from a certain sect and was mentioned by the second master. He chased her half way across the river with her shoes and then gave up on sending the silk scarf.
This also became a regret in Li Hao's heart. For the first time, he felt that the second master was too nosy sometimes...
"To be successful in life, you must have all the fun. After all, you have to try everything." Feng Boping said with a smile.
Li Hao also picked up the bowl and started eating. Hearing the two elders joking, suddenly, his heart moved, and the font appeared in front of his eyes:
【You have understood the Tao of cooking】
Li Hao's eyes brightened slightly and quickly returned to normal, which was what he expected.
Since he reached the third level of cooking at the fastest speed, he has been trying to find ways to get into his heart, so he often goes to the kitchen to communicate with the chefs.
These chefs did not dare to neglect this young master of the Li family, the proud son of heaven. Although this kind of thing was extremely weird, they knew everything about Li Hao and told him everything.
In the in-depth exchanges with these cooks, Li Hao also opened his eyes and learned that the art of cooking is as vast as the art of chess.
A wide variety of ingredients, various seasonings, heat, cooking, fishy and odor removal techniques, etc.
Let Li Hao gradually indulge in it, like exploring a rich and colorful new world.
Unconsciously, he skipped the stage of cooking for the experience and started loving cooking from the bottom of his heart.
Even if there is no increase in experience points, he will still look for opportunities to show off his skills and cook something.
He would carefully taste the pastries sent to Shanheyuan recently. If they were too poorly made, he would even knock them over and ask the chef who made them to come over and criticize them personally.
Once it enters the heart, it is inevitable to be more serious and harsh.
Just like the bastards in the game, it doesn't matter if they lose. Those who break the defense and curse often are the ones who really want to win.
Now that he was reminded to understand the heart of cooking, Li Hao was not too happy. After doing something seriously, he didn't care about the result anymore. The same was true for his previous heart of chess.
However, now that he has this state of mind, he can try the fourth level of Yudao.
After the three of them chatted and ate and drank, Li Hao picked some good bones and fed them to the little white fox next to him.
This little white fox is one and a half years old. It is still small and exquisite, with bright and snow-white hair. Li Hao feeds it some medicinal spiritual fruits and eats fish soup every day. This little guy has also embarked on the path of spiritual practice. He has reached the fifth level of Tongli Realm.
From the wild fox in the mountains, he has now become a demon, with a bit of demonic aura.
If one can reach the Zhoutian realm, spiritual wisdom will be born.
Monsters that have reached the realm of the successor soul can already "appear and disappear".
After lunch, we continued fishing all afternoon.
However, Li Hao only caught one fish monster at the second level of Zhou Tian Realm. His fishing luck was not good today.
After finishing the work and returning to Tingyu Tower, Li Hao returned to Shanheyuan with the little white fox in his arms. After locking himself in the room, he brought up the panel. After thinking about it, he used this state of mind to break through the imperial path.
Soon, the Imperial Dao was promoted from the third level to the fourth level.
The previous three levels of Royal Dao allowed him to expand his pulses by leaps and bounds. Now that he is in the fourth level, I wonder if he will have new insights into the great veins and luck tactics?
As the points were added, a wealth of information poured into his mind. After a long time, Li Hao slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were clear and bright, and he was a little surprised.
The world in his eyes seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes. The rich insights in his mind told him that this world turned out to be more wonderful than what he had seen before.
There is spirit in heaven and earth!
"The demon perceives the stars, the sun and the moon... and inherits the soul, and is blessed by the soul thoughts. While inheriting the soul thoughts, it also needs to abide by some 'agreements'."
"People can pass it on to other people, pass it on to monsters, and it can also pass it on to all races."
"Similarly, people can also obtain the inheritance of all races, the inheritance of mountain spirits and ghosts, the inheritance of true dragons, gods and phoenixes, or...the inheritance of the stars, sun and moon, the heaven and earth!"
Li Hao suddenly felt enlightened after seeing many martial arts secret books in Tingyu Tower and the many cultivation methods he had mastered.
To inherit a soul from a human being, one needs to inherit its thoughts.
To inherit a soul from a demon, you need to inherit its nature.
But to inherit the soul from heaven and earth, we need to bear its weight!
"I want to establish my soul with heaven and earth!"
Li Hao's eyes burst into intense light.
He activated the attributes of all things and covered his physical body. Unless he made a huge movement with his fists and feet, outsiders would not be able to detect it.
Then, all the energy in his body wandered along with the main veins, and both Yin and Yang pulses emerged at the same time, converging on the top of his skull.
In an instant, the strength of his whole body increased wildly, and his body contained terrifying power.
This power seemed to come out of the body and break through the illusory obstacle.
He wants to communicate with heaven and earth, ask questions about heaven and earth, and borrow that power!
As if he felt Li Hao's strong thoughts, a majestic and terrifying pressure enveloped his body, like a substantial mountain falling, and all the bones in his body were rattling, which was somewhat unbearable.
The weight of heaven and earth is heavier than Mount Tai!
Li Hao's eyes turned red and he roared in his heart.
The terrifying power of the Yin and Yang pulses exploded, and the strength doubled in an instant, reaching nearly ten million kilograms!
That vast willpower seems to be held up!
But, then it was pressed hard again!
Li Hao bent his body and dug his feet deeply into the floor.
He gritted his teeth, knowing that relying on strength alone was not enough. He had not seen the heaven and earth!
What is the phase of heaven and earth?
It's the sky, it's white clouds, it's mountains and rivers, it's all things and the earth... These are all part of heaven and earth, but they are not the whole picture of heaven and earth!
And if you want to establish your soul with heaven and earth, what does this heaven and earth look like in your heart?
In Li Hao's mind, an article from Tingyulou's Seventh Floor Buddhist Martial Arts contained a Buddhist saying.
Buddha has no form.
Since the Buddha has no appearance, how can heaven and earth have any appearance?
"I am in this world, and I am the image reflected by this world!"
Li Hao's eyes suddenly burst into light, and all his energy and strength seemed to be released, breaking through an invisible barrier and reaching heaven and earth!
All the energy gathered and condensed his essence, and a shadow appeared faintly above his body, which was his own appearance.
Use yourself as the heaven and earth to establish your appearance, and use the heaven and earth to establish your soul!
At this moment, Li Hao stepped into the realm of the successor soul.
There seemed to be endless power pouring into his body along the heaven and earth, along the void in all directions.
The curtains in the entire room were shaking violently, and the doors and windows of the room were closed. Where did this wind come from?
In the courtyard, in the pavilion.
As Li Hao embarked on his cultivation, Li Fu no longer followed him inseparably, but he was still in the same courtyard.
At this moment, he was playing chess in the courtyard. It was not because he liked it, but because Li Hao had invited him and taught him. It seemed that he could only find this kind of fun in his spare time.
He and Uncle Zhao were fighting on the chessboard.
If Li Hao saw the chess game, he would only say: novices pecking each other.
Suddenly, the two of them seemed to be twitching at the same time and couldn't help but look somewhere.
An inexplicable feeling of terror, like the awakening of something majestic, surprised the two of them, as if it was a spiritual illusion.
What is it?
The next moment, both of them stopped and rushed to Li Hao's room. If something went wrong, there must be a monster.
As the two people quickly pushed the door open, they saw that the room was a little messy. Some vases placed on the edge of the shelf had already fallen to the ground and smashed to pieces.
Li Hao, on the other hand, had his feet sunk deep into the wooden board, panting slightly, as if he had practiced a martial arts.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that it was not a secret attack, the two men breathed a sigh of relief and quickly came to Li Hao's side.
Li Hao had long since calmed down from the impact of power received by Jihun, and his breath had disappeared. He wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, exhaled, and said, "I was practicing just now."
"You kid, why don't you go to the yard to practice?" Li Fu said angrily, but he didn't doubt him.
It was no longer a secret that Li Hao was refining his body. He also knew about it, but he didn't know the specific extent.
"I just suddenly had some insights." Li Hao explained.
"That's good."
Uncle Zhao smiled and said that although the vase on the ground was hundreds of years old and quite expensive, as long as Li Hao made progress in his practice, everything would be worth it.
After letting the two of them feel relieved, Li Hao continued to savor the power of the Jihun Realm in the room, which was far superior to the Zhoutian Realm.
No wonder it is said that only those who have reached the Soul Succession Realm are qualified to serve as a city guard.
But at this moment, he is only nine years old and can already command a city!
…
After succeeding the soul, Li Hao's life remained as usual.
He ate and drank every day, either going fishing, drawing and playing chess in the courtyard, or running to the kitchen to cook.
As time went on, the young master started to develop some new tricks, learning poetry and piano, and it seemed that he was going further and further down the road of "not doing his job properly".
Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
The fourteenth year of the Qingyuan calendar.
This year, Li Hao turned fourteen.
