How many times does a normal person have to die in the world of cultivation?

In the past, Li Xiaoxiao would leave as soon as she got off work, but today she said she wanted to take Laozhou as her master, so she couldn't leave first before her master left.

Today was Laozhou's turn to finish, so everyone else had left, only Laozhou and her were left in the cafeteria.

Li Xiaoxiao borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, took the tea set from the kitchen and respectfully made tea for Laozhou, then knelt down to formally become his disciple.

Laozhou never imagined that one day he would be able to accept a disciple, and that this disciple was more capable than himself.

In fact, Li Xiaoxiao just likes Laozhou and feels that Laozhou is very kind and like her grandfather, and he selflessly gave her the magic he had purchased in his life.

So Li Xiaoxiao wanted to become his teacher, firstly because he was truly grateful, and secondly because he wanted him to give him some pointers.

Although Laozhou's cultivation level is not very good, it is because of his limited qualifications and resources, but he must know more than her.

After serving tea, Laozhou immediately taught Li Xiaoxiao the [dust removal technique], and the oil smoke in the kitchen disappeared instantly.

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with stars, this [dust removal technique] was so tempting to her.

So I learned hand gestures from Laozhou.

At first, Li Xiaoxiao's fingers were out of control and kept getting knotted, but she remembered it after reading it once.

Laozhou praised her for her understanding and that she was much better than him. She didn't know how many times she read the book before she could remember it.

When Li Xiaoxiao was praised, he didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he looked like: I'm already smart.

This is still the first day, and Li Xiaoxiao is not in a hurry.

Lu Zhengxin came to the canteen in person because he was worried.

Seeing that the door of the canteen was closed, he glanced around and saw the two people gesturing in the open space in the back kitchen, so he raised his voice and shouted.

Li Xiaoxiao heard it and opened the small door of the back kitchen to let him in.

The three of them took out the chicken that had been killed last night. They happened to be in the kitchen. Li Xiaoxiao cleaned it and started cooking it.

Lu Zhengxin took out three small yellow triangular flags and placed them in three places in the kitchen so that the scent would not spread out.

Li Xiaoxiao could always see Lu Zhengxin taking out various magic weapons, talismans, and seals from his storage bag, and now there were also formation flags.

They are also outer disciples.

His treatment and property were very different from Laozhou's.

Since there was no turkey spray to light the fire, Lu Zhengxin controlled the fire.

The first fire was not controlled well and the chicken was burned into black charcoal, which was wasted.

Li Xiaoxiao waved his hands repeatedly to prevent him from interfering.

In terms of fire control, this is her strength, but her spiritual power is a little overdrawn.

Take out the spirit stone and put it in the palm of your hand, absorbing it and outputting it at the same time.

This skill stunned Lu Zhengxin and Laozhou, but Li Xiaoxiao, who was concentrating, didn't notice it at all.

Lu Zhengxin and Laozhou looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes: What kind of peerless genius is this? !

Li Xiaoxiao roasted the chicken and gave the whole chicken to Laozhou, and half of the other one to Lu Zhengxin.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the bed, placed three low-grade spiritual stones around him, and silently recited the Qi Condensation Technique. The spiritual power around him was sucked into the body, and the three low-grade spiritual stones became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye. , and finally turned into three piles of white powder.

The sixth level of Qi Condensation!

After being stuck at the fifth level of Qi Condensation for so long, I finally made a breakthrough.

She remembered that she had spent more than ten days absorbing three spirit stones while riding in the carriage. She was very careful, fearing that a trace of spiritual energy would leak out and be wasted.

just now……

These are people who have a little money and savings.

But faced with a very serious problem, she was late for work again.

The strange thing is that when Li Xiaoxiao arrived, Brother Turkey was not angry and just let her go to work.

Li Xiaoxiao felt that there must be something fishy in it, so he sent a message to Laozhou: "Master, what happened to Brother Turkey today?"

"He's nothing but what you have."

"???" Li Xiaoxiao's face was filled with questions.

While controlling the knife to cut the pork, Laozhou replied: "You have lost all your spiritual stones this month."

Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. It turned out that her salary was just being deducted. She thought it was a big deal.

After finishing today's work, Li Xiaoxiao was taking off his apron when he was told by Turkey Brother with a cold face, "You don't have to come tomorrow."

Li Xiaoxiao was shocked at first, and then sent a message to Laozhou: "If he shoots me, what impact will it have?"

Laozhou squeezed together with wrinkles on his face: "Of course the mission failed. The sect will be kicked out of the sect after failing three missions every month."

Li Xiaoxiao:......

What, there are two more chances.

Li Xiaoxiao immediately stopped pretending to be aggrieved: "Yes! Senior Brother Biao!" and jumped away.

Everyone in the kitchen: ...Why does she look so happy?

The newcomer Gu Buning looked at Li Xiaoxiao's back with admiration.

Li Xiaoxiao went back to her dormitory to practice in a hurry. She had too many things to do, and doing odd jobs really wasted too much time.

After Laozhou packed up, he went to look for Li Xiaoxiao at ‘Nan Su’.

Li Xiaoxiao was practicing the [dust removal technique], and she specially grabbed a handful of dirt and put it on the table.

After stumbling and making gestures, he said silently in his heart: 'The dust above and the dust below, there is no dust in the heart, go! ’

There was no trace of dust on the surface.

Li Xiaoxiao was about to try again when he sensed someone approaching with thermal energy. When he saw Laozhou with his spiritual sense, he quickly opened the door: "Master, why are you here?"

"I live in Beisu not far from you."

Li Xiaoxiao was really embarrassed to ask Laozhou to come in. It was too small inside.

Laozhou knew her inconvenience and didn't go any further: "I didn't even finish what I said just now, why are you running so fast?"

Li Xiaoxiao said honestly: "I want to come back and practice the technique quickly."

"Oh? How was your practice?" After all, he is his apprentice.

"I already know how to make gestures, but I don't know if it's because of the lag, so it doesn't work at all."

So Laozhou asked her to demonstrate to him, bent down and grabbed his hands full of dust on the ground: "Clean this up."

Li Xiaoxiao concentrated on it, and his gestures became much smoother than before. He recited the mantra silently in his mind, and finally pointed his index and middle fingers together at Laozhou's palm without any effect.

Laozhou saw her problem right away: "Don't be depressed. I just saw you reciting the mantra silently. Do you have 'every word has a spirit'?"

Li Xiaoxiao's face was full of confusion: "Master, what does 'every word has a spirit' mean?"

Laozhou raised his hand and touched his short beard and said: "This mantra is a 'dead thing'. If you can succeed by just reciting it according to the script and adding seal gestures, then it can be completed by ordinary people who practice diligently."

Li Xiaoxiao listened carefully, and Laozhou became more and more detailed.

"look."

Li Xiaoxiao followed his words and looked at his gestures. It seemed that the timing of each click was just right, and there were faint fluctuations in spiritual power on his hands.

Then Laozhou said: "Ashes above, dust below, there is no dust in your heart, go!" He pointed to the dormitory behind Li Xiaoxiao.

When Li Xiaoxiao turned around, he felt that the bamboo house was a little brighter, and the fallen leaves piled on it were piled on the ground.

Laozhou flicked his finger and a small flame burned the fallen leaves to nothing. Leave no dust behind.

this:……

Li Xiaoxiao was shocked because she already knew what was wrong with her.

So he poured spiritual power into his hands and started to form seals. As he silently recited the mantra in his heart, the spiritual power in his body turned into mist and squirmed rapidly, forming the words of the mantra.

Finally, he pointed his finger at Laozhou. Laozhou felt a cool breeze blowing through his body, making his body feel a little lighter.

I was about to praise Li Xiaoxiao: Children can be taught.

He saw her looking at him with fear and embarrassment.

Laozhou lowered his head to check his clothes. He didn't think anything was wrong. He raised his hand to see that the dust on his hand was clean.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xiaoxiao shook his head hard like a robot lacking circuits: "No...it's nothing."

Laozhou then smiled happily: "You did a good job."

He raised his hand out of habit, but Li Xiaoxiao grabbed it and said, "Master, don't you have something to ask me about?"

Laozhou then put away his smile and said with a frown, "You have to go to the carousel in the assembly square to pick another task tomorrow."

At this time, Li Xiaoxiao's face also fell: "So fast? I still want to practice for a few more days."

"Okay, I'm going back first. This is the [Transmission Talisman]. If you need anything, use it to find me."

Li Xiaoxiao was so moved that she accepted it. She knew that this transmission note must be very expensive, and with his frugal personality, he would never buy it in the past. It was all for himself.

"Master, how many spirit stones does this talisman have?" Seeing Li Xiaoxiao going to take the spirit stones, Laozhou held him down.

"This is my teacher's wish. Don't humiliate me."

Li Xiaoxiao could only nod when he heard this.

"Okay, remember what I said, go early tomorrow." He turned around and left.

Li Xiaoxiao stared at his back for a long time and sighed.

Laozhou returned to Beisu, the handyman, in a happy mood, but he saw that everyone who passed by and looked at him had a strange look on his face, feeling strange.

But he didn't have a mirror, so he could only run to the well and take a look.

Only then did Laozhou understand why Li Xiaoxiao looked at him with such an expression before.

Because his beard is gone, and half of his eyebrows are missing.

Laozhou has been growing a beard all his life. At first glance, he looked like he had no clothes without his beard, covering his mouth with his cuffs.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Alas!"

In the end, he couldn't help but cursed: "What a sin~"

After returning to the house, Li Xiaoxiao took out a bottle of 'Qi Gathering Pill', poured one pill in and swallowed it, and at the same time took out two low-grade spiritual stones.

I thought it wouldn't be too late after absorbing these two.

But with the blessing of the Qi Gathering Pill, the speed was several times faster than usual, and he quickly absorbed two low-grade spiritual stones.

Li Xiaoxiao opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Before the Qi Gathering Pill melted completely, he took out six low-grade spiritual stones!

After she finished absorbing it, she couldn't wait to sigh that the Qi Gathering Pill was so effective!

Seeing that it was bright outside, Li Xiaoxiao didn't care about anything else, put on his shoes and ran to the gathering square.

Fortunately, not everyone was gone yet, and Little Li was sneaking in at the bottom.

When it was her turn to spin, a wooden ruler came over.

The angle at which the wooden ruler stretched out was obviously a blind spot for her vision, but today she could see the wooden ruler clearly without squinting.

He withdrew his hand in advance and let the wooden ruler go empty.

Li Xiaoxiao frowned displeasedly and looked at the person waving the ruler.

"I remember, didn't you just transfer two days ago?"

Li Xiaoxiao secretly said that he has a good memory, he actually remembered so many people.

Little did he know that the other person only remembered her freshly because he saw her beauty.

At that moment, the expression on his face became somewhat calmer: "Senior brother, I failed in that mission."

"That's it!" He said and rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

Li Xiaoxiao had also been around before, and he immediately placed a low-grade spiritual stone in his hand.

He said "hmm" with his nose and asked her to spin the wheel.

Because Li Xiaoxiao was the last person, the red envelope was collected with great fanfare.

For the outer disciples, a low-grade spiritual stone was one-third of their monthly salary, and they couldn't afford any more.

What will happen if you don’t give a red envelope?

Li Xiaoxiao doesn't want to know, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

As the turntable continued to rotate, it finally stopped at the words [Jue Dan Valley].

Li Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank violently, the words "How dare you break into Jue Dan Valley" echoed in his head.

The man said "hey" twice, took out a wooden sign and handed it to her: "Junior sister, have a good trip."
