The cool breeze is bleak, and the moon is as cool as water.

The temperature in late autumn is getting lower and lower, and it is even more difficult for the dozen or so people on the third floor of the bookstore who have lost their roof.

"Ahh Sneeze!"

Zhu Gongzi, who was thinly dressed, twisted his body, moved under the only remaining lighting lantern on the third floor of the book club, changed his position, and continued to sleep.

The corners of his mouth were still hanging on the mixture of black ink and saliva that did not dry, it was late at night, and he did not have the energy or courage to continue to provoke Elder Bai, the Monk of the Foundation Builder, on the verge of death, since he could not cross Elder Bai to deal with Xiao Ke, and Elder Bai insisted on not letting him leave the book club, the wisest choice at this time was of course to sleep.

Because of the powerful deterrent of the inner door behind him, Zhu Gongzi knew that Elder Bai would definitely not dare to do anything to him, but he slept very soundly this night, of course, except for being a little cold.

Like him, the dozen or so miscellaneous disciples who had fallen to the ground and convulsed were all isolated from Xiao Ke by Elder Bai with aura, and everyone was more or less injured, and at this time, they fell heartlessly on the third floor of the bookstore and hugged each other and fell asleep.

On the contrary, only Xiao Ke and Elder Bai were still awake on the third floor of the originally lively book club.

Elder Bai lived for more than a hundred years, and he attached great importance to the word integrity, saying that it was to protect the Dharma for Xiao Ke, that is, to protect the Dharma, but the process of protecting the Dharma was really boring, and he didn't know where to conjure up a pot of good wine and a plate of peanuts to eat and drink.

In this regard, Xiao Ke felt painful, since he came to the Holy Spirit Continent, whether he succeeded in refining qi or not, his life was monotonous, which can be described in two simple words, that is, "eating".

Before joining the Qingcheng Sect, in the mountains where he landed, he racked his brains all the time to grab food.

I finally walked out of the mountains and mixed into the Qingcheng Sect, and I didn't eat enough for some reasons.

A day ago, by absorbing the thunder power of the mutated sword stone, supplemented by the cultivation of the positive thunder decision, he finally entered the qi refining period, and he thought that his life would be better in the future, but he didn't expect that the quality of life had not had time to improve, and his demand for food had become a lot larger, plus at this moment, he had to absorb the power of thunder and lightning, the consumption of the body was huge, and the energy provided by the strange fish in his abdomen had already been consumed。

"Wine is stinky, peanuts are skinned, wine is stinky, peanuts are skinned, wine is stinky, peanuts are skinned. ”

Xiao Ke separated a wisp of spirit, and after meditating three times before he regained his mind and entered the realm of selflessness again, using the small cyclone in his body to absorb the power of thunder and lightning outside his body.

Although Xiao Ke is very slow to absorb the power of thunder because of his qualifications, he is still very happy in his heart, these thunder powers are all flowing into his body through his pores, and there are real external nutrients, which means that he, like normal people, can absorb the aura of the outside world for his own use, and he no longer has to worry about the depletion of the thunder power in his body.

In the process of absorbing the power of thunder, Shocke discovered two more problems.

First, according to common sense, the size of the vision produced by the monk when he practiced was related to his qualifications, Xiao Ke knew that his qualifications were ordinary, which could be seen through his slow absorption of aura, but he attracted a thunder and lightning force with his ordinary qualifications, which was beyond the form of thunder attribute aura existence in space.

The image is that he was originally a hand but exploded the power of the cannon, completely subverting the law of conservation of mass, but Xiao Ke did not find any harm to his body about this phenomenon.

The second problem is that the outermost layer of the nine layers of thunder power in his body that was refined and consumed by him was actually repaired to the original state after receiving the power of external thunder and lightning, and the most terrible thing is that the little power of thunder and lightning from the outside world that was finally absorbed into his body, after entering his body, it will flow through and can only flow through the outermost layer of thunder shell, and after Xiao Ke's calculation, it will be reduced by at least nine-tenths, ten thunder and lightning power will go in, and only one new thunder and lightning power will come out.

It is said that it is reduced, but in fact, it should be compressed, but the compression ratio is too large, and Xiao Ke found that the thunder condensed by the power of thunder and lightning flowing through the outermost shell is only several times more mellow than the thunder condensed directly with the power of absorbed thunder and lightning, as for why it is not ten times, where the loss goes, he has no way of knowing.

The speed of absorption was too slow, but fortunately, Xiao Ke's willpower was not unfortunate, and it took a whole night to absorb all the thunder power around his body into his body and turn it into his own thunder qi. It wasn't until the morning of the second day that Xiao Ke succeeded in condensing, and the abundant thunder qi wafting in the dantian made his waist stand even more worthwhile, even in the face of a foundation-building powerhouse like Elder Bai, his face did not change and his heart did not beat.

"Success?"

"It worked!"

"Congratulations, but you ruined my book club, and I'm not an unreasonable person, you say it yourself, how can you make up for it?"

"I don't have any money!"

"Am I a person who is short of money?" (Elder Bai's pocket slapped, and Xiao Ke listened for a long time before he heard a coin making a lonely sound. ）

"I have principles and never sell my hue, if ......"

"Shut up, how can there be a bunch of indecent fancy intestines under an honest face, I made it clear, I'm old and lack of energy, I want to find a suitable disciple to help me get started and take care of the book club, can I do this?"

"I'll think about it, let's say okay first, I want to be free, I'd rather not do it if I don't have freedom, I won't do it if you send me to the Law Enforcement Hall, and you have to pay me a salary, just give me a thousand taels of silver a month......"

"Shut up, freedom, yes, salary interview, come to the courtyard behind the bookstore at noon today to find me, I will upgrade you to the waist card of the outer disciple, now, you take my work card as the administrator of the bookstore, and roll me to the bathhouse opposite to wash myself inside and out." ”

Xiao Ke took the token, raised his left and right hands, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, it was really a smelly tunnel, and as soon as he arched his hand, he slipped to the bathhouse opposite and scrubbed it.

There is a lot of dirt on the body, black, sticky and mushy, these are all impurities that are squeezed out of the pores by opening the air.

After taking a bath, changing into clean clothes, and holding the administrator's waist card to hang Elder Bai's account with peace of mind, Xiao Ke came to a breakfast shop with his stomach that he no longer had the strength to call, and ordered five bowls of noodles and five drawers of xiaolongbao, and he must have a good meal today.

Listening to Elder Bai's meaning, this is to upgrade the waist card of the outer disciple for himself, but to avoid the tragic encounter of being strangled in the cradle by someone too early.

To be able to become an outer disciple, the treatment is much better than now, not to mention the pocket money of fifty taels a month, there are also three Gathering Spirit Pills, this thing Xiao Ke has seen in the books of the book club, one can be worth ten days of penance for ordinary monks, it is a good thing to make up.

After a while, the buns and noodles were served by the shopkeeper diligently, Xiao Ke immediately ate and drank like a storm, he ate very steadily, and he didn't worry about the problem of not having money to pay the bill, since he had promised to be a working apprentice for Elder Bai, it would definitely be nothing to eat the boss master once or twice, just sign the bill after the meal.

"Hula, drip, hula!"

Xiao Ke was eating, and suddenly heard a discordant sound behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, someone came to deliver silver, can you not be happy?

"Boss Liu, is that the one who ate noodles in front?"

This is one of the two unlucky ghosts who were robbed of their clothes by Shock.

"Really, this is a miscellaneous living quarters, so keep it safe, and if you make a mistake, labor and management will break your tongue. ”

This is Boss Liu, who the two of them found to deal with Xiao Ke.

"Really, really, Boss Liu, I can recognize this kid even if he turns to ashes, so I beg you to get justice for your brother quickly." ”

"Okay, blame this kid for not being long-sighted, grabbing things and grabbing the chassis of labor and management, and the brothers will follow me and kill me. ”

Xiao Ke is now successful in refining qi, and his five senses are different from ordinary people, he can hear a lot of their conversations clearly, blow the noodles on his hands, and continue to eat noodles peacefully, just waiting for someone to do it and surprise him.

A strong arm rested on Shock's head, and then a shiny head appeared on the left side of his face, and the man said, "Boy, you are looking for ...... Looking for, early, eat so much for breakfast? Xiao Er, who has no eyesight, give this uncle a pot of good daughter red, cut two fat chickens, three catties of beef, be fast, snub the distinguished guests, and the labor and management will smash your store. ”

"Bang dang!"

The visitor took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it on the counter, turned his head and left, and saw his little brother, the unlucky brother duo, the other diners in the breakfast shop, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper.

"Boss Liu, you have received the money, but you have to ......"

"Bang!

Before one of the unlucky brothers duo finished speaking, they were slapped left and right by Boss Liu, and one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, and they couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

After beating people, Boss Liu left in a dashing manner, and the discerning person could see at a glance that this boss seemed to have a bad kidney, and his legs trembled after taking two steps, and there was a tendency to intensify.

In this scene, not only the employer was confused, but even Boss Liu's younger brother was at a loss, how did the mighty boss who bullied men and women and swept the miscellaneous service activity center become a little corgi today, could it be that the mistake the day before yesterday made him lose his sharpness.

Since the boss has slipped away, no matter how professional the younger brother is, he can only follow him, which is called talking about the rules of the rivers and lakes, respecting the boss, not running away.

It's just that when Boss Liu just walked to the door and could leave this place of right and wrong with one more step, he still remembered the voice he was afraid of and didn't want to hear.

"Dead bald head, what about the silver that labor and management let you bring?"
