Chapter 037: Enrichment
Hiding in a tree hole that had just been dug up two days ago, Li Tong gasped heavily, but people couldn't feel the rhythm of her breathing.
It was so dangerous just now that she almost collided with a herd of wild beasts!
With her true strength of the Yellow Martial Mirror Quadruple now, if she encounters a low-level desolate beast, she may still be able to fight; If you meet two ends, you can also ensure that your whole body retreats; If you encounter three heads, you will have to run away. She almost encountered a herd of desolate beasts like she did just now, so she didn't even dare to have a chance to turn around and wander away except for running for her life!
Half a month ago, Li Tong took the jade slip that Li Su gave her, and after passing the test of refining materials and alien fire materials in front of him, Li Tong officially became an apprentice in the instrument hall.
Although she was taken the initiative by Li Su to enter the Qitang, since she has become a member of the Qitang, she still has to start from scratch.
As an apprentice, as Li Su said, he did the most things, but the reward was the lowest. Except for the days when he went to the lecture hall, Li Tong had to stay in the instrument hall almost every day, starting from selecting materials and learning every work in the instrument hall.
There were originally two disciples around Li Su, that is, the two people who controlled the fire under the refining furnace that Li Tong saw in Li Su's refining room, one was named Li Xiuyong, and the other was called Li Xiulang, who were the children of the Li family's side branch. Although they came to Qitang a few years earlier than Li Tong, they are only apprentices now.
Both of them are already in their twenties, but now they are just minor monks of Huang Wujing's quadruple. It was only because the two of them had a bit of talent in refining weapons and were sincere and serious that they were retained by Li Su.
Li Su is a sharp-eyed person, and the people who can be left by him by his side, even if they have some hearts, they will not be used to make things bad.
So Li Xiuyong and Li Xiulang, the two brothers of Li Tong, are not bad to Li Tong, even if it is known that Li Tong is a refining seedling valued by Li Su, the two of them did not have the intention of embarrassing her, not only did they not worry that Li Tong would rob them of their position in front of Li Su, but they taught her to do things in the instrument hall very seriously, saving Li Tong a lot of trouble.
Li Tong is also quite grateful to the two, although her refining weapon is still far from Li Su, it is much higher than Li Xiuyong and Li Xiulang. Therefore, she occasionally pretends to be ignorant and asks the two of them some refining questions that seem superficial but are actually very critical, so that while the two of them are happy to help others, they can also gain a lot of themselves, and the level of refining is constantly rising.
In less than ten days after Li Tong arrived in the Qi Hall, Li Xiuyong and Li Xiulang each successfully refined a low-level magic weapon alone, which made the two of them ecstatic, and praised Li Tong as their lucky star!
It has been several years since the two of them entered the instrument hall, and Li Su has also given the two of them a lot of opportunities to try refining weapons, but they have not succeeded once, not to mention, they have wasted a lot of materials. Li Su didn't say anything about it, but the two of them felt guilty, and they didn't dare to touch the refining materials lightly for a long time, let alone refining the tools themselves, for fear that something would go wrong and waste the materials in vain.
This time, it was also because Li Tong gave them a lot of inspiration when he asked them, which greatly increased their confidence, so they had this trial, but they didn't expect it to be really successful!
Li Su's evaluation of the success of the two of them this time is also not bad, although the technique is still a little rough, but some details are handled quite well, which makes Li Su very satisfied, and there is some surprise.
He originally thought that these two people would not be suitable for refining weapons in the future, and he was planning to find another way out for the two of them, so that they didn't have to defend themselves in the instrument hall. Unexpectedly, the two of them were able to accumulate thick and thin, and finally made a breakthrough and achievement, which made Li Su's mind of transferring the two away.
Although Li Tong's days in the instrument hall were a bit monotonous, her knowledge of refining weapons increased rapidly, which made her very satisfied. Even if she would delay her cultivation of some combat techniques in the short term because of this, she didn't feel pity at all.
Just a few days ago, Li Su officially told Li Tong that she had made some achievements in selecting refining materials, and planned to teach Li Tong some techniques to control different fires. Before letting her formally learn to control the fire, Li Su also specially gave Li Tong a few days off, so that she could summarize the knowledge of refining materials she had learned in the past few days. After the vacation is over, he still has to inspect her.
As soon as he got the holiday, Li Tong did not delay at all, and went directly into the great wilderness.
A few days ago, although she worked in the Qitang every day, but after returning to the academy at night, Li Tong had not been sleeping or cultivating in the courtyard, but had been exploring the nearby wilderness, looking for all the elixirs that could help her cultivate the "Heavenly Eye Method" and "Guiyuan Nine Changes".
It's just a pity that although there are not many desolate beasts near the Li family, there are very few elixirs for survival, most of them are just the lowest-level elixirs that people can't look at, and they are useless at all.
Others dislike these low-level elixirs, but Li Tong doesn't dislike them. She also collected a lot of chalcedony pill refining materials, and re-refined hundreds of chalcedony pills, consuming the elixir rapidly every day.
So don't look at her busy in the instrument hall all day long, but she has never slacked off in the improvement of her own strength.
Fortunately, Li Su gave Li Tong a storage bag, so that she could shuttle in the wilderness so conveniently. Otherwise, if you have to carry a package on your back every time you go out, it will be too cumbersome and troublesome.
However, although Li Tong would explore the Great Wilderness every night, he still had little success, and he had no gain from the elixir that could help the cultivation of these two exercises.
As a last resort, Li Tong could only grit his teeth and continue to explore the great wilderness, even if it was farther away from the Li family.
In this way, soon, Li Tong began to gradually see the traces of wild beasts haunting the exploration path in front of him.
She even seized the opportunity to kill a few low-level desolate beasts that acted alone or out of the group. After she used her Mo Dao magic weapon to skin and extract the bones of the desolate beast's corpse, she put it all into the storage bag.
If it weren't for the fact that lighting a fire in the wild at night would easily attract the siege of the desolate beasts, Li Tong would have roasted and eaten the corpses of these desolate beasts a long time ago.
It was too eye-catching to open fire in the academy, and Li Tong didn't dare to take this risk.
It wasn't until Li Su gave Li Tong a vacation that she had the opportunity to fire in the wild.
The flesh and blood of the desolate beast was also full of aura, and it was all roasted and swallowed into his stomach by Li Tong piece by piece. She had also accidentally collected a barbecue seasoning rosemary in the Great Wilderness before, and sprinkled it on the roasted beast meat, which was extremely delicious, more than ten times higher than the spiritual meal provided by the Li family in terms of taste and spiritual power supplement!
As for the skins of the desolate beasts, Li Tong kept them all, planning to have the opportunity to refine them into a low-level defensive magic weapon in the future. Even if you can't use it, you can practice it all the time. The bones of the desolate beast were smashed by Li Tong and boiled to drink, increasing the essence in the body, and preparing for the cultivation of the "Heavenly Eye Method" and "Nine Changes of Returning to the Yuan".
The cultivation of these two exercises must require a large amount of spiritual power reserves before they can be completed step by step. Although Li Tong has a lot of chalcedony pills on hand, it is a pity that since Li Tong became a fourfold monk of the Huangwu Mirror, the effect of chalcedony pills on her is not very big, and it is more of a purification of spiritual power in the body, which is better than nothing.
