Descending to the bottom of the valley, Lu Chaoran moved his shoulder joints, found a tree of moderate thickness, and cut it hard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Now Lu Chaoran has no cultivation at all, and he has just recovered from a long illness, and his strength is slightly inferior to ordinary people, and he cut down this not very thick tree for about half an hour before he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Lu Chaoran estimated that this tree was about three or four hundred catties, so cutting down five such a big tree would be about the same. It doesn't take much time to cut down the trees, but it's hard to split them into firewood and transport them to the firewood house in the mountains.

Lu Chaoran threw the axe, went to the stream at the bottom of the valley and drank a few handfuls of water, decided to ignore the firewood for now, sat cross-legged on the grass and began to concentrate on cultivation. As long as you enter the first layer of the Qi Gathering Realm, you won't be so tired from chopping wood. Otherwise, all the time is spent chopping wood, and if you don't have time to cultivate, you won't be able to make any progress in cultivation, so is it just a woodcutter to come to Xiaoyao Palace?

Just like this, Lu Chaoran was meditating all day. Only when he was hungry did he get up and pick some wild fruits, stuff them into his mouth, and drink a few large sips of cold water. When it was getting late, he quickly picked up the axe and hurried back to his lodgings before it was completely dark.

In the room, Lu Chaoran continued to meditate and cultivate until he went to sleep, and Wang De did not come to ask him about chopping wood.

After a few days, Wang De was not seen. Lu Chaoran simply ignored the tasks given by Wang De, except for occasionally going down to the valley to catch fish and pick wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, all his time was spent on hard cultivation. However, the first layer of the Qi Gathering Realm, which was very easy to break through back then, was like a very tough film at this time, and it was obviously only a little bit close, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through.

On the morning of the seventh day, Wang De visited again. He looked very unhappy.

"After so many days, you haven't even handed over a pound of firewood to the firewood room?" asked Wang De with a frosty face.

"Yes, Senior Brother Wang. Because I was afraid of delaying your cultivation, I didn't go to look for you. I want to discuss with you, can I wait until I break through to the first layer of the Qi Gathering Realm before I go to chop wood? After all, as an ordinary person who has no cultivation at all, if you want to chop so much wood, you won't have time to cultivate. ”

Wang De's tone eased unexpectedly: "In this case, the pills that should be distributed to you every week will be temporarily deducted." In addition, I kindly remind you that it is the duty of the disciples of Taiwei Peak to chop wood and carry water and complete the tasks assigned by the senior brother, if you don't do anything for a month in a row, according to the regulations, I have the right to expel you from the Xiaoyao Palace. Think about it yourself. ”

Looking at Wang De's distant back, Lu Chaoran raised a middle finger fiercely.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, with one hand supporting his chin, Lu Chaoran looked at the axe in a daze, unable to make up his mind for a while.

After a while, there was a burst of sweet fragrance wafting from the end of the nose, which smelled refreshing and very comfortable, but it also gave birth to some thoughts for no reason. In two months, Lu Chaoran will be seventeen years old in this world, it is the time when the essence and blood are vigorous, and it is normal to think about it occasionally, but in this situation, it is really a little inexplicable to give birth to this kind of thought.

Lu Chaoran suddenly looked back and saw a woman in red sitting on the windowsill.

This woman's small face is snow-white and delicate, extremely charming, with a variety of charms between her eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes are moving, which makes people shake.

Seeing Lu Chaoran's stupid appearance, the woman smiled and said, "This son, don't you feel lonely alone in the mountains?

After adjusting his breathing, Lu Chaoran calmed down and said, "Hongyue, I know it's you." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the woman in red, and she said with a smile: "Brother Chaoran, I didn't look away, you have very good mental power, you can control your mind and not be confused, very good, although I didn't use the charm technique, but after all, your cultivation is still very low, and it is already very good." But why do you recognize me as Red Moon?"

"Your dress is too thin, and your cultivation doesn't seem to be high enough, and through your dress, I can faintly see your tail that you haven't tucked away. Since it's a little fox, I guess it's probably you. ”

Hongyue turned back into the little fox's true body, and said with a smile: "I only rose to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Realm not long ago, and I am not very skilled in becoming a human, and the next time I enter the Spirit Fortune Realm, I can perfectly maintain my human form." ”

Lu Chaoran said curiously: "When I helped you heal your injuries that day, I thought you were just a little demon, but it turned out that you had reached the level of the Qi Refining Realm. ”

"At that time, I was indeed a little demon, and I was only at the eighth layer of the Qi Gathering Realm. ”

"So, in less than a year, you have cultivated from the eighth layer of the Qi Gathering Realm to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Realm?" Lu Chaoran was shocked, in more than half a year, he had broken through the entire twenty layers of cultivation, which was really unheard of! Seeing others improving so quickly, and thinking that he had not made any progress, Lu Chaoran's mood could be imagined, and he was not very calm.

After Lu Chaoran took a moment to calm himself down, he told Hongyue about the difficulties he had encountered these days.

Hongyue said, "Oh, so you think that you are only cultivating when you meditate quietly. I remember that Wishful Childe told me that the cultivation of the basic stage of the Qi Gathering Realm is actually not rigid in form, the key lies in rhythm and concentration, no matter what you do, if there is a fixed rhythm, and then with the power of your mental concentration, you will achieve the effect of cultivation. Therefore, a rhythmic action like chopping wood can be regarded as cultivation. ”

Lu Chaoran felt quite reasonable when he heard this, didn't he usually meditate and concentrate under rhythmic breathing and concentration? He suddenly asked Hongyue: "Is it related to this cultivation method that you have broken through so quickly?"

Hongyue shook her head and said, "Well, it doesn't matter much, it all depends on a special ability of the son who wishes, but his method can be used on me, and you won't have the opportunity to enjoy this method." ”

Lu Chaoran felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in his words, and he thought about it for a while. Seeing that Lu Chaoran was silent, Hongyue smiled and said: "I can probably guess why it is so difficult for you to break through the first layer of the Qi Gathering Realm, don't worry, you don't have to chop wood for the time being, wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”
