My cultivation is too simple

Huang Li sighed and said, "Although building a foundation can help you escape from slavery, does Brother Zhou know how difficult it is to build a foundation?"

Zhou You shook his head.

He is only at the first level of qi training and does not feel the difficulty of cultivation yet.

On the contrary, it feels quite simple.

Of course, he also knew that it was because he had the golden seal of [Dao Zhi Jian] to assist him, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to practice.

Huang Lidao: "Do you know where I am now after practicing for three years?"

Zhou You hesitated for a moment and then said: "Third level of Qi training?"

Huang Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou You with a meaningful look: "First level of Qi training."

"This……"

Zhou You was stunned for a moment.

He often heard people say that it is difficult to become an immortal, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult!

Three years, one level of Qi training!

This is indeed a bit exaggerated!

"We are just low-grade spiritual roots, beings at the lowest level in the world of immortality! We can only live for seventy or eighty years. I am already twenty-two years old today. It is probably impossible to build a foundation in my lifetime."

Huang Li sighed.

……

The next few days were relatively quiet.

Huang Li occasionally came over to chat with Zhou You, and the two became quite familiar with each other.

After talking with Huang Li in the past few days, Zhou You had a rough understanding of some basic conditions in the world of immortality.

The most important thing in cultivation is the spiritual root.

According to Huang Li, in addition to high and low spiritual roots, there are also attributes.

For example, Huang Li has a typical earth spiritual root. If he can obtain the earth cultivation skills, he will have certain bonuses whether he practices or uses spells.

According to speculation, those traveling around are wood spiritual roots.

Because when you travel around to measure your spiritual roots, the light that appears is green.

Similarly, if you practice wood-based skills, there will also be certain bonuses.

It's a pity that those skills are in the hands of the major cultivating families, cultivating academies and sects.

There are also some lower-quality exercises that can be purchased at Fangshi and Neiji, but they require a large amount of spiritual stones, which are simply impossible for ordinary casual cultivators to afford.

For example, the "Pulse Opening Technique" practiced by Zhou You and others is the lowest level of Dalu. It can be practiced by any spiritual root, but there is no bonus at all.

"Spirit stone..."

Zhou You sighed secretly.

Servants like them are lucky enough to be able to practice. As for things like spirit stones, they basically don’t need to think about it.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Zhou You took advantage of the lack of firewood to go to the mountains behind to chop some firewood and come back.

Sure enough, I gained the skill of [Chopping Wood].

[Chopping firewood] is similar to [Sweeping the floor], and it is also a very simple knowledge.

The only difference is the way to get the progress value.

[Sweeping the floor] You only need to sweep three or four times a day to get 30 progress points.

And [Chopping firewood] requires a lot of wood cutting.

The more firewood you chop, the more progress you get.

However, in order not to appear out of place, Zhou You still chopped firewood at regular intervals every day.

After finishing the routine practice in the morning and completing the task of fishing for spiritual fish, I went to the mountain forest to chop firewood in the afternoon.

It took Zhou You three days to pile firewood outside the house, and the skill of [cutting firewood] was finally perfected.

[Chopping firewood (100/100): This is a very simple skill. You can master it by cutting thousands of pounds of firewood! 】

The golden seal sparkled in Zhou You's mind, and a line of handwriting appeared.

At the same time, a mysterious force also surged out, spreading through all the limbs and veins.

Zhou You feels refreshed, his cardiopulmonary capacity has improved a lot at this moment, and his physical condition is obviously much better than before.

The enhancement of physical fitness also brings bonuses and strength!

Without the use of magic power, Zhou You's strength is 150 kilograms at the beginning. Later, when he advances to the first level of Qi training and tempers his body, his strength can reach 300 kilograms!

Now that the [Chopping Wood] skill has been perfected, Zhou You's endurance has increased, and his strength has increased by 50 kilograms again, reaching 350 kilograms.

It can also be regarded as a considerable enhancement.

In addition, there is a line of text on the gold seal.

[Opening Pulse Art·Part 27 (100/1): A basic article on cultivating immortality. Breathing in and out every day can increase the progress by , and it can be completed in a hundred days! 】

The progress of "Opening the Pulse" is as steady as ever.

Zhou You can also feel the slow increase of his own mana.

Three more days passed and it was time to hand over the spirit fish.

Zhou You rushed back to Xiao Yueying's yard early in the morning carrying 80 spiritual fish, and bought some food when passing by Neiji.

The reason why we only took eighty spiritual fish was because of certain considerations.

According to Huang Li, it would take at least three or four days for an average fish servant to develop magic power.

It is impossible to catch spiritual fish in these three or four days.

After cultivating the magic power, normal fishing can only catch three spiritual fish a day before exhaustion.

Unlike traveling around, you can catch five fish every day.

In other words, under normal circumstances, a new fisherman will only catch about spiritual fish in the first month.

If Zhou You only turned in eighty spiritual fish, it would not be a passing grade, but it would still be enough.

Xiao Yueying will not really give up Zhou You because of these few spiritual fish.

The original sentence of "turning in a hundred spiritual fish every month" was probably just to prevent him from slacking off.

After all, a fisherman, even if he tries his best, can only catch more than ninety spiritual fish every month.

However, Zhou You handed over eighty spiritual fish and barely completed the task without being too sharp.

Since talking to Huang Li, Zhou You has learned about the difficulty of cultivation, especially low-grade spiritual roots, and he feels more and more that he needs to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, it would normally take three years for low-grade spiritual roots to gather Qi veins, and it would take him only twenty days to reach the first level of Qi training...

Everyone knows there is a problem.

So you have to be cautious.

After meeting Xiao Qing, Zhou You handed the spirit fish and food to Xiao Qing.

When Xiao Qing saw Zhou You, he was a little surprised at Zhou You's change. He looked full of energy, his face was no longer sallow, and his whole person looked much brighter.

So he joked: "Hey, Brother You is much stronger!"

Zhou You said with a smile: "You have to do everything by yourself over there. It will be stronger if you go back and forth."

Xiao Qing chuckled, with an envious expression on her pretty face, and then returned to the inner courtyard, while Zhou You waited in the outer courtyard.

During this period, many maids and servants came over to say hello to Zhou You, each giving them some not-expensive gifts.

There are shoes, clothes, and some food.

It can be regarded as maintaining a good relationship with Zhou You.

After all, traveling around is already a fish job, and he has also developed magical power, which makes him stand out among the servants.

It never hurts to make friends.

Not long after, Xiaoqing came over with a purse and handed it to Zhou You: "Brother You, Miss You is very satisfied with the spirit fish you caught. This is the monthly payment the Miss will give you."

Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed his hands respectfully and said something like "should" before taking the purse.

The purse was heavy, and it was all filled with silver, at least ten taels!

This surprised Zhou You!

No wonder it is said that once you become a fish slave, your status among the Xiao family servants will rise.

Just talking about this monthly money is far beyond what ordinary servants can compare with.

Sweep the yard before traveling around, it only costs two coins a month!

After becoming a fish slave, one can be as good as the previous years!

At this time, Xiao Qing said again: "In addition, the young lady also said that you can practice with peace of mind. If you have the opportunity to practice to the third level of Qi training, I can teach you the subsequent skills."

Zhou Youdao: "Please tell Miss, I will definitely live up to expectations!"

Then Zhou You left the small courtyard, which attracted many people's envy, and they all said that Zhou You had soared into the sky.

however.

Traveling on the road did not make me happy at all, but felt a little abnormal!

Especially when he discovered that there were ten grains of spiritual sand in the purse Xiao Yueying gave him, Zhou You frowned even more.
