The shopkeeper put down the bowl in his hand and watched a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy disappear into the crowd, a strange boy he had met since he opened the restaurant. Three months ago, this young man came to his restaurant and ordered three or four people's meals to take away, and since then he has come back every ten days or so, and each time he has ordered several people's meals to take away, but he has not found out which family this young man is a servant of.

If Gu Xiaowu knew that his behavior had been noticed by others, he would definitely not patronize that restaurant again, he walked to the uninhabited alley and put the food in the storage bag, then left the town and walked quickly towards his cave.

When he returned to the cave, he ate all the food he bought this time, lay comfortably on the bed for a while, and began to sit cross-legged, silently running the mantra. He had been cultivating here for half a year, and he had not been discovered by the people around him. After the first three months of cultivation, he had already cultivated to the second level of qi induction, opening all the pores of his two arms and stabilizing them. Since breaking through to the second layer, he has not only felt that his senses have become much sharper, but also his body feels extremely comfortable, and he can eat several times the amount of food he used to eat at one time and ensure that he will not feel hungry for ten days. Therefore, he went directly to the restaurant to buy delicious food, ate it all at once, and then began his ten-day cultivation. Now the elixir and ore in his hand have not been used, and the elixir in his hand has only eaten two pills when he broke through. Based on what Rong Yuanju said and his own cultivation speed, he decided not to use the pill in his hand before cultivating to the fourth level of Qi Absorption. Because he doesn't know how to refine the pill himself at all, the cherished pill in his hand will only be used less and less, and the cultivation is too low to fully utilize the spiritual power in the pill, so it will be a waste of the pill in the early stage, and there is still a long way to go, so he must make the most use of the resources in his hand. Those herbs and ores would not be used until the pills in their hands were completely used up, so the first few layers could only be completed by their own hard cultivation. Fortunately, Rong Yuandu's cultivation is not difficult, and with the growth of his mana cultivation, the faster he will cultivate, according to his estimates, as long as he continues to cultivate for three months, he can cultivate to the third layer, and he doesn't know what changes will happen to his body at that time.

There are no years of cultivation, three years have passed in a flash, and now Gu Xiaowu looks like he has only grown a little taller and stronger, but he can't see any changes in time on his face, and he hasn't even taken off the childish appearance of a teenager. Xiao Wu took a picture of the water, and still sighed, cultivating the immortal method can delay a person's development and growth, and his current appearance has not changed much from three years ago, resulting in him having to disguise himself every time he goes out, otherwise it will really attract people's attention. After such a long period of cultivation, he had already cultivated to the sixth level of qi induction, and when he closed his eyes, he could already sense all the slight changes within ten zhang around him, and there was nothing new to discover in his body except that he could starve even more. After such a long period of cultivation, all the pores around his body have been forcibly opened, if he is based on the cognition of other exercises, he has now entered the peak of qi induction, but the difference between Rong Yuan and Du is here, although he has accelerated the speed of pore opening, but also reduced the speed of refining mana in the spirit acupoint to a certain extent, what he has to do next is to slowly guide the mana to attract the spiritual energy outside the body, and speed up the speed of refining mana in the spirit acupoint to further increase his own mana. Because now that the air holes around his body have opened, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy has increased to the peak of qi induction, on the whole, the cultivation below is much easier than the previous four or five layers of cultivation, but it is just that he needs to keep accumulating mana to break through the boundary, but Xiao Wu still can't help but smile bitterly. There were a few small porcelain bottles of pills beside him, which were already empty, and the cultivation of the fourth and fifth layers alone had consumed all the pills.

Xiao Wu took out a jade slip and looked at it, this jade slip was the only jade slip in the collection of the ancestor in red, and he remembered seeing that it was recorded that it was the use of an ore. Later, Kou Yuhuan once took it out and looked at it, and found that the record in it was a complex method of refining ore to extract spiritual power, which was not as simple and effective as the method studied now. Xiao Wu once again comprehended this method, and found that the purpose of this method did not seem to be for cultivation, because the number of ores required was also staggering, and it would take tens of thousands of pieces to achieve it at every turn. According to the method that Kou Yuhuan handed over to Xiao Wu, as long as a hundred yuan, a wisp of heaven and earth aura can be practiced from it, and the operation is also very simple. He put the jade slip away again, since the jade slip mentioned in this jade slip is useless to him now, he doesn't have to worry about it, as for using ore to refine aura to accelerate cultivation now, he is not ready, because he has other options.

Xiao Wu took out another bamboo slip that recorded the method of refining the elixir, refining the elixir was the fastest way to improve cultivation, and the second was to extract spiritual power from the ore. He still has a large number of herbs in his hands now, and it would be best if he could refine the elixir himself. But when he seriously read the requirements of alchemy, he was dumbfounded, he didn't have the furnace that he needed for alchemy, not to mention the spiritual fire he needed, he hadn't learned the fire spell yet, and that kind of fire burning crystal was in Kou Yuhuan's hands. Even if he could find these foreign objects, he couldn't recognize the names of the various herbs in his hand, and the herbs that Xin recorded were just some ordinary auxiliary materials, but he didn't record all of them in his hand now. Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, he took out all the herbs and put them on the bed, and in the end, Xiao Wu could only give up the idea of trying alchemy, and he couldn't even recognize the herbs. Picking up a spirit grass, he pondered, it seems that he can only use ore, if he eats the spirit grass directly, it would be useful, "eat it directly" A strange idea came to Xiao Wu's mind. Yes, just like when you first arrived at Yizhi Peak, you can boil the spirit grass into soup and eat it, and in the end, haven't you also eaten the spirit grass raw? Now you can also try it and see if you can use the aura in the spirit grass.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu easily cleaned the spiritual grass in his hand with river water, and then ate it raw, leaving only a small section of roots in the end. He immediately put away the other spirit grasses, sat down on the bed, and began to operate the spell. At the same time, the air holes around the body released a suction force, and the faint aura floating around slowly floated towards Xiao Wu, who felt the mana in his body emerge in his body and slowly worked. The spiritual acupuncture also began to glow, and streams of spiritual energy went in and out along the only aperture. Suddenly, the patterns around the inside of the spirit cave continued to change and twist as if they came to life, and Xiao Wu's body also felt a little strange, as if a large clump of grass roots suddenly grew in his body, surrounding the fragments of the elixir he had just eaten, and then disappeared completely, and a spiritual power emerged from the blood veins around his body and gathered into the spirit cave. After Xiao Wu felt that the aura around his body had increased a little, he finally let out a long breath. There were countless whiskers growing in the body, just like that time in Dingzhong, the only difference was that this time there was only a trace of numbness, without a trace of pain.

The difference in his body has always been Gu Xiaowu's deepest secret, since he found out that he ate the fairy grass, he didn't find any difference at first, until he succeeded in attracting the spirit to open the acupoint, and only when he used his divine sense to look inside, did he discover the abnormality of his body. It's a pity that I couldn't see it anymore when I looked inward, but this time, after taking the spirit grass in my life, I found the difference in my body for a moment. He also once asked Kou Yuhuan if he saw the difference in himself, but he was blinded by Kou Yuhuan, sarcastically saying that the biggest difference was that he was heartless. This spirit grass seems to be a monster lurking in its own body, it can hide itself, and it can also appear to help itself, so I don't know if it will harm itself. But no matter what, Xiao Wu was very relieved in his heart, because he didn't feel that it had brought him a threat, and he saved himself when he was trapped in Dingzhong. After thinking for a while, Xiao Wu shook his head and stopped thinking about the vision in his body, because he didn't have enough ability to solve the question now, but he believed that one day he could find the answer.
