Chapter 21: Food shortage
Shu Li counted the days, it was already the beginning of the month at this time, presumably Xi Ning took advantage of the night to quietly return to the Xi clan to show his face, so as not to be discovered abnormally.
This is the first time that Shu Li has spent the night by herself in the other world, and she is a little unaccustomed.
She couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, so she simply stopped sleeping, and knelt straight on the ground, concentrating, trying to control the energy in her body.
I just felt that all of a sudden, I was enlightened, and the energy in my body seemed to be summoned, and it was very obedient to follow the route of the muscles and veins, although it was slow, but it was methodical, and there was no mistake.
At the end of the week, the energy that was originally running around became obedient and obediently and consciously circulated in the body.
A trace of mystical power appeared in Shu Li's body......
Shu Li was ecstatic, at this moment she really felt that she had something to rely on and a chance to gain a foothold in this otherworldly continent.
Grandmother Xi Ning took advantage of the night to return to the small courtyard of the Xi people, and when it was dawn, she carried a basket across the area where the ordinary Xi people lived to the hina room.
The one who manages the Hina Room is the daughter of the Sixth Elder, Xi Ning's cousin.
After a brief greeting between the two, Xi Ning received a month's worth of food and supplies according to the regulations. As winter was approaching, her cousin added a few extra pieces of cloth and a few quilts, and instructed her servants to help carry them to the courtyard.
So Xi Ning led the servants through the residential area and returned to the small courtyard.
Then, she closed the door of the hospital and continued to close the door.
When night fell, Xi Ning quietly returned to the stone room.
Xi Ning, who entered the stone room, was startled.
I saw Shu Li kneeling on the ground motionless, and even her breathing slowed down a lot.
"It's ......"
With Shu Li's gentle breathing, the hair on his body was windless, and the light silver hair shimmered under the light of the demon crystal of the phoenix-crowned fire python. This is a state unique to the rat when it enters cultivation.
Xi Ning found that the five demon crystals left behind when he left had been eaten, and even Shu Li took a few bites of unheated jerky.
"This kid must be very hungry!"
Xi Ning hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and cooked.
After a pot of broth was cooked, Shu Li woke up from his cultivation.
"Grandmother, I've cultivated my mystical power!" Shu Li was anxious to show off.
"Yes, yes, yes! My pears are the best! Come and eat, don't go hungry. ”
"Grandmother, why am I so hungry after cultivating?"
"You haven't learned to draw energy from the environment, you can only convert the energy in your body into Xuan Li, and of course you can't supply it. The path of cultivation must not be rushed, and requires sufficient patience and concentration. ”
Shu Li gulped down the soup, and said his plan in front of his grandmother without concealment: "I can already cultivate Xuanli, it won't be long before I am in the late stage of the Xuantian Realm, I want to learn the formation!" ”
At the mention of the formation, Shu Li's face was embarrassed: "Grandmother...... I'm the way I am now, learning the formation is a bit of a hindrance! ”
Xi Ning couldn't help but laugh: "How can any demon beast dislike his own body?" However, it is true that the human body is more suitable for drawing the formation. ”
"Grandmother...... I want to shapeshift. ”
Xi Ning was angry and funny, and nodded her head: "You kid, you want to run before you learn to walk?" You're only seven months old, and even if you're shapeshifted, you're just a baby! At least until I'm three or four years old! ”
Subsequently, Xi Ning comforted her again: "Although it is troublesome to practice the formation with the ontology, it can subtly train your control over the subtleties of the body, and only after accumulation can you appreciate the benefits." ”
Shu Li was indeed in a hurry to turn into a human form, but as soon as she heard that she would become a baby, she had to give up for the time being after weighing it again.
From then on, Shu Li changed her ten hours of sleep a day to cultivation, and the remaining two hours practiced the formation.
The winter was very cold and long, but the grandparents and grandchildren hid in this small stone room, laughing and laughing, especially Shu Li's visible progress, which made Xi Ning very pleased.
Winter goes to spring, and summer comes in a blink of an eye.
Shu Li is more than a year old.
"Pear, my grandmother can't afford to support you." Xi Ning has been worried a lot lately.
Since Shu Li started cultivating, she needed more and more energy every day.
Ordinary demon beasts or human beings cultivate to draw energy from the environment, but I don't know what's going on, Shu Li can't do such a simple thing, and can only get energy by eating.
She ate from the demon crystals of the Xuanqi Realm to the Xuanling Realm, and now her daily meal is ten Xuanling Realm demon crystals plus a number of elixirs and beast meat.
How extravagant is this? To put it bluntly, you have to eat ten Xi Ning a day to meet Shu Li's cultivation needs!
Xi Ning is miserable, the accumulation of thousands of years in the five rooms has been exhausted in just half a year!
Shu Li crossed two realms to eat the demon crystal of the Xuanling Realm, far beyond the energy range that the demon beast's body could bear, and if it was an ordinary demon beast, it would have exploded and died a long time ago, but Shu Li could run and jump, and was very healthy.
After those demon crystals were eaten, the huge energy was like a mud cow entering the sea without any news, and Shu Li's Xuanli cultivation had been stationed in the middle of the Xuantian Realm so far, and there had been no progress for two months!
Xi Ning roughly calculated, the demon crystal energy that was eaten by Shu Li these days was enough for the Xi clan to cultivate a Xuan Soul Realm powerhouse!
If it continues like this, even if you pour out the strength of the whole clan, you won't be able to support Shu Li!
"Grandmother, I'm hungry ......" Shu Li was very aggrieved.
She has often felt hungry lately, and the Xuan Qi in her body is running uncontrollably on its own, and once it is running, it needs the addition of energy, and she is tormented without an energy source.
Looking at Shu Li, who was getting thinner and thinner, Xi Ning turned his heart sideways: "Li'er, it's not a way to go on like this, grandmother will take you somewhere!" ”
After cleaning up briefly, Xi Ning took Shu Li along the stone crack passage in the direction where the Xi clan was.
"Grandmother, is it a Hui Xi tribe?" Shu Li asked cautiously, afraid that Xi Ning would throw her to Xi Liangyun and Xi Chi's beast father and son because she ate too much!
"Yes, but not to return to the clan, but to another place within the Xi clan's rule."
Shu Li's cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Xuantian Realm, and he acted very quickly, and the two of them ran to the vicinity of the forbidden land in only one stick of incense.
Not far from the exit of the forbidden land, the stone crack passage formed a corner, Xi Ning settled down to distinguish the direction, and after a few breaths, she determined a direction: "It's here!" ”
I saw Xi Ning change out of his body and make a hole downward at the turn of the passage.
While making holes, she didn't forget to teach Shu Li: "Punching holes is the talent of rats, although many rats who have cultivated to a high level and can transform into shapes now disdain to do this kind of hard work anymore, but talent is talent, and it can save lives at critical moments!" ”
