Chapter 17: Apprenticeship I

Li Qing got out of bed, bypassed the screen, came to the door of the wooden house and stood still, looked at the empty ten large tanks in the courtyard, and exhaled deeply!

Walked through the backyard with his feet up, opened the back door of the wooden house in front of him, and walked in.

"Stinky boy, although it is a good thing to be diligent in cultivation, you also have to pick the time, now that the time limit is only 7 days, I want to know how you can complete it? Hum! If you can't finish it, the working time here will be doubled! The moment Li Qing pushed the door open, the old man's voice came, with an inexplicable schadenfreude!

Li Qing looked up when he heard the sound, and saw that the stinky old man was sitting on a rocking chair at this time, with his legs crossed, his fingers tapping lightly on the handle of the rocking chair, his eyes narrowed together, and the corners of his mouth showed a thief smile that he hadn't had time to retract.

"You don't need to take care of it old man!" Li Qing said as he walked past the old man, his tone full of indifference.

Originally, the old man thought that he would see Li Qing soften, at least he would be very anxious, but he didn't get satisfactory results at all, and he was very depressed! opened his slightly narrowed eyes and looked up at Li Qing, ready to further ridicule.

"Huh~ What's going on with your skin?" The moment the old man looked up at Li Qing clearly, he let out an exclamation.

"What's going on? Oh, those injuries you mean?! That's it! Li Qing stopped and turned around to answer the old man.

"No, I saw your injuries last time, even if you use the best healing medicine, it will take at least half a month to return to your current condition, you haven't used any medicine except for cultivation these days, but you have recovered to such a degree, is it related to the exercises? Stinky boy, what kind of exercises are you practicing? With a hint of contemplation in his expression, the old man looked at Li Qing with a blazing gaze.

Li Qing had never seen the old man with such a serious expression, and he couldn't react for a while! After standing in place and stunned for a few seconds, he opened his mouth to answer, but he didn't say Qingyi's trick, only said that it was a general physical exercise.

"Well, it's true that I'm not lying, and there are indeed traces of cultivating physical skills! It's just that? The old man's gaze was fixed on Li Qing's body, and he looked at it again and again, frowning slightly, revealing a trace of doubt.

"I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, there's still so much to do!" Li Qing was a little worried about the old man's abnormality, so it was better to slip away first, otherwise if he asked her something, it would be difficult to get out her secret.

"Stinky boy, don't move yet, run the next exercise method for me to see!" The old man directly ignored Li Qing's words and said to himself.

"How's that going to work? Where can you practice the exercises casually and show others, no, no! Definitely not! Li Qing didn't know what the rules of the cultivation realm were, but he had to be careful before he couldn't figure out the old man's intentions, who knew if this old man would have any special abilities, in case she ran the exercises, it was not a joke to see any of her secrets.

"You don't need to do anything else, just absorb the aura and run it in your body for two weeks. Stinky boy, hurry up!" The old man looked eager, staring at Li Qing tightly, and even made Li Qing feel that he was braised pork.

The old man's eagerness made Li Qing unable to avoid this matter again, Li Qing began to absorb the aura and operate in the body, but this process weakened the traces of the soul destroying technique as much as possible, and I just hoped that the old man would not see anything!

"Hey, that's weird! It's obviously a miscellaneous spirit root, but the operation of this spiritual energy is faster and more regular than the heavenly spirit root, this is really incredible, isn't it? How can it be!!! Could it be that God will help me? After watching the operation of the aura in Li Qing's body, the old man was shocked again, and he kept muttering something in his mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

Li Qing didn't know what the old man was thinking, but she had to leave, who knew if the old man was deliberately finding fault again, wanting to waste her time, you must know that if she couldn't complete the task, the time in this miscellaneous service hall would be doubled.

Li Qing ignored the old man, turned around and raised his feet and walked towards the door.

"Wait, stinky boy, we don't have to do the work of cutting down trees, let's do something else!! What do you think of me as a person? You haven't done anything these days, but I haven't said anything, have you? The old man shouted to Li Qing, who was striding forward, and his originally serious face instantly became extremely flattering, and that expression was matched with his messy hair and beard, it was really ridiculous! However, this ridiculousness made Li Qing break out in a cold sweat, which is really not in line with the old man's style, he is courteous and courteous, and he is either a traitor or a thief!

"......" Li Qing looked at the evil smile on the old man in front of him, and he really didn't know how to answer this, so he was worried that he would accidentally fall into the pit.

"Since you also think I'm good, and we're so fateful, why don't you be the old man's apprentice?" The old man automatically regarded Li Qing's awkward silence as a tacit acquiescence, and proposed his ultimate goal, continuing to smile on his face.

"Don't!" Li Qing didn't think about it, and decisively refused! Joke, I have been working for three months now, and I feel very tormented in the past half a month, but no matter how tormented I am, there will be a time to get through it. But once you become an apprentice, it's different! If you can't figure it out before you die, or in the lifetime of this old man, you basically have to face this weird old man in this miscellaneous hall! Thinking about the long life of a cultivator, I really shuddered!

The old man didn't expect Li Qing to refuse without thinking about it, and he was so crisp, his smile froze on his face, but in an instant, his face recovered again, and his smile deepened!

"You may not know yet, I am a real person of the Dao Dao, and I am about to enter the Jiedan in the later stage of foundation building! If you worship me as a teacher, you don't have to participate in the triennial sect competition to become an inner disciple directly, and I have never accepted apprentices, you will become the only disciple of the old man if you worship me as a teacher, and there are many benefits! Don't you like to cultivate, with me covering you in the future, you can concentrate on cultivation! ......" The old man was kind and seductive, watching Li Qing's reaction while talking, but his eyes were shining with golden light without expectations.

"That's not to mention, I don't want to be an inner disciple!" Li Qing's face was calm, and he interrupted the old man's talk, and his tone this time was more resolute than the last time. What she said was indeed the truth, she really didn't want to enter the inner door, especially to worship a weirdo who never accepted apprentices, it was too attention-grabbing, troublesome!

"If you don't have anything else, I'll go get firewood first" Li Qing didn't care about the old man who was frozen there at all, spoke again, and walked straight out after speaking.

This time, the old man didn't say anything to stop him, and Li Qing quickly got out of the wooden house and set foot on the road to the mountains.

Along the way, Li Qing was thinking about the sudden change in the old man's attitude, she really couldn't understand why this stinky old man who had been roaring all day suddenly had such a good attitude, and he wanted to accept her as an apprentice so much, could it be that she saw that she was a hidden spirit root? The idea was immediately rejected, absolutely impossible! But for what? Could it be that she has a secret on her body that she doesn't know? I really can't figure it out!

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, let's finish what you should do first, and then you will naturally know what you should know, let go of the doubts in your heart, Li Qing quickened her pace, and soon came to the mountain, walked in along the entrance, and found a place not far from the entrance to stand.

Exhale a breath of turbidity, your mind sinks, and the third exercise of Qingyi Jue operates, absorbing spiritual energy into your body! The aura enters the meridians from the dantian and rotates for a week, and then attaches to the internal surface of the body, like a protective shield! Then he concentrated his mental strength on his right hand, clenched his fist and swung it out vigorously, heading straight for a thigh-thick tree standing in front of him! I saw a faint aura looming on the fist, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and it hit the root of the tree.
