In this world, which is similar to the ancient times of China, life is undoubtedly boring, and Lao Tan made lunch for the three Xiao family children in Nanling Park as usual today, and then returned to his hut with his own meal.

After eating the lunch that was not rich, Lao Tan found a clay pot under the bed, and it took a long time to find the leaves of two spiritual vegetables.

These spiritual vegetables are what he usually hides secretly, because he is afraid of being discovered, the amount he hides each time is not much, and these two plants are the last stock.

After becoming a third-level Qi refining cultivator, ordinary food Lao Tan could no longer get any trace of spiritual energy at all, and if he wanted to continue cultivating, he could only rely on these spiritual vegetables that were specially eaten by monks.

The appearance of the spirit vegetable is similar to that of ordinary vegetables, but its color is more verdant than that of ordinary vegetables, and even after being stored in a crockpot for several days, it still retains its freshest appearance when it is removed.

A spiritual vegetable is only the size of a palm, Lao Tan didn't want to eat one of them, the taste of the spiritual vegetable is still sweet, better than any kind of vegetable that Lao Tan has eaten when he was on earth before, Lao Tan remembers the first time he stole the spiritual vegetables, that feeling was almost like eating the most precious delicacy.

However, after eating the whole spiritual vegetable today, Lao Tan's brows were still furrowed, and when he ate the second spiritual vessel, a systematic prompt appeared in front of him.

System: You get 0.3 units of aura by devouring spiritual vegetables.

Seeing the content of the prompt, Lao Tan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yesterday, I ate a spiritual vegetable and still have 0.5 units of spiritual energy, but I didn't expect that after refining the qi for three layers, the two spiritual vegetables add up to only 0.3, it seems that it won't be long before the spiritual vegetable is not suitable for making 'food'." ”

Thinking back to the first time he ate the spiritual vessel, a single spiritual vegetable could provide 1 unit of spiritual energy, but now it has shrunk several times, no wonder Lao Tan is so melancholy.

If someone knows what Lao Tan is thinking, they will probably call Lao Tan's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant, you must know that ordinary monks have to cultivate from a mortal to the level of the third level of qi refining, and those with average qualifications will definitely not be able to do without three or five years of penance, even if it is the legendary Heavenly Spirit Root, it will take at least half a year, but he Lao Tan only used three months, not to mention the eighty-eight countries of the entire Longyuan Continent, there are not many people in Shaoyang alone.

Lao Tan is not an aborigine, and he has not yet realized that his cultivation speed is amazing, and he is still secretly worrying about how to find more "food" for his cultivation.

Although the nameless recipe is a technique obtained from the game elf gluttony, if you want to cultivate, you must have enough "food", and the more precious the "food", the better the effect.

"The effect of the spiritual vegetable is okay, but if you want to cultivate, you have to eat a large amount of it to have a significant effect, usually sneaking around for two or three days to hide ten or eight spiritual vegetables, if you want to improve your cultivation, this amount will definitely not work......"

Lao Tan touched his chin and said to himself, he had thought about going directly to the spiritual field where spiritual vegetables were planted to steal, the Southern Cemetery was originally a place used by the Xiao family to grow spiritual vegetables, if he wanted to steal, he would definitely be able to steal it, and the amount was definitely enough.

The problem is that if it is discovered, the consequences will definitely not be imagined, thinking that when he first came to report, he saw the Xiao family's method of punishing a child who made a mistake, and Lao Tan shuddered or gave up.

"It seems that we should think of another way......" Old Tan shook his head, helplessly dispelling such unrealistic thoughts as stealing vegetables.

Following.

Lao Tan still left the South Cemetery in the name of going down the mountain to buy vegetables, but today he was not going to Chiyun Chengfang City, but to the Xiao family.

In addition to the South Cemetery, the Xiao family also has a clan compound on Yanmen Mountain in the west of Chiyun City, where the high-level and backbone children of the Xiao family live.

Lao Tan came once when he killed Xiao Yi the day before yesterday, but at that time, Lao Tan was just wandering around the outer courtyard of the compound and did not enter the inner courtyard.

There is a big difference between the inner and outer courtyards, although the people living in the outer courtyard are all children of the Xiao family, but most of them are children of the Xiao family who have very low cultivation and are not valued, such as Xiao Yi.

As for the inner courtyard, which is the core of the Xiao family, it is impossible for ordinary people to set foot in it easily.

After showing the identity token to the Xiao family's subordinates who were guarding the mountain gate of the outer courtyard, Lao Tan stepped into the outer courtyard area of the Xiao family again, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted by a gust of incense.

Lao Tan subconsciously dodged, and the person who came let out an exclamation and fell to the ground.

It's her?

Lao Tan looked down and found a little girl wearing a floral skirt with a double-ring bun falling in front of him, she was Xiao Yi's maid pothos.

After two days of not seeing her, she seemed to be a lot haggard, not only did she look even thinner, but her clothes were still in tatters, and her face was bruised, and she had obviously been beaten by others.

"Little girl, look where you're going, aha."

A burst of smug laughter sounded, Lao Tan soon saw a man in Xuanyi chasing after a group of people, and the green pothos lying on the ground saw these people, his little face became more and more pale, and he wanted to stand up several times, but his leg seemed to have been broken, and when she stood up, her little face wrinkled in pain.

When Xiao Yi died, he was still worried for two days, afraid that the Zong family would punish him, but he didn't expect the Zong family to investigate the matter at all, and even how Xiao Yi died, the Zong family didn't bother to verify.

So Xiao Ao had no fear and began to think about Xiao Yi's maid pothos.

"Hehe, girl, your Young Master Xiao Yi is dead, and you are helpless in the Xiao family alone, it is better to follow Young Master Ben in the future, and Young Master Ben guarantees that your future life will be more nourishing than before." Xiao Ao said as he approached the pothos and stretched out a hand to grab her.

"Let go of me." Pothos let out a scream, and although she was very scared, her eyes did not flinch at all.

"Dead girl, you are too rude, who do you think you are, but you are just a maid of our Xiao family, it is rare for the proud young master to look at you, it is your blessing." A minion behind Xiao Ao shouted.

"I ......" Luthos wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth, this person was right, she was just a maid, she had already sold herself to the Xiao family, she was in a humble position here, and anyone could call her.

"Hehe, that's how to behave, go, go back with Young Master Ben." Seeing that the pothos' attitude softened, Xiao Ao became even more proud, and a hand reached over and was about to hug her little waist.

However, at this moment, the pothos suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it hard.

Although Xiao Ao was also a monk, he was still hit without defense, and his arm was bitten out of blood by the green pothos, and he screamed in pain.

"Bastard!"

Xiao Ao, who was enraged, kicked the pothos in the lower abdomen, kicked the weak little girl to the ground and vomited blood, Xiao Ao covered his bleeding hand, and said angrily: "Rebellion, really rebellion, a maid actually dares to hurt Young Master Ben." ”

Xiao Ao's face was so angry that his face was distorted, and his expression seemed to be eating people. But the pothos was not afraid at all, but sat on the ground in relief and muttered, "Kill me, I don't want to live anyway." ”
