I don't know how long it took, but after the air flow in the thunderstorm's body slowly calmed down, the sky was a little brighter.

When Lei Yu opened his eyes, the first feeling was that he seemed to be refreshed, his ears and eyes were bright, his body was particularly light, and his energy was particularly vigorous, which he had never felt before.

Everything within a radius of tens of meters, even a single grass and tree, does not need to be seen with eyes at all, and the feeling is so clear and vivid, as if there is an extra pair of eyes behind me.

The mountains and forests before dawn were so charming, and Lei Yu jumped for joy after examining the changes in his body. Everything in the outside world can be so clearly visible, and what is not usually felt at all, can be easily felt: "In the grass dozens of meters away, the crickets flapping their wings and incitement will be as loud as that, and the trees that are sleeping soundly will actually make dreams, the scenery within tens of meters around is so kind, and the unknown wildflowers will emit such a fragrant fragrance, at this time, he feels that the grass and trees are like a part of his body, and he is completely dissolved into them and controlled by himself."

"Wow, I finally broke through the first layer of qi refining", and then a gust of wind and rain in the mountains and forests, rushing, jumping, venting the pleasure in my heart. These days, the haze that I have been worried about not being able to break through on time has been swept away at this moment.

When sending firewood down the mountain, he went to the Foreign Affairs Hall and told Senior Brother Huang about his breakthrough, which was a report on a few months of cultivation and passed the assessment for half a year.

Senior Brother Huang, after listening to him, his eyes lit up, and he checked his pulse with his hand to confirm it. Contrary to his lazy appearance in the past, he said some words of encouragement, telling him to cultivate harder, improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and strive to break through to the third-layer realm as soon as possible before letting him go back.

There are no years of cultivation. Winter has turned to spring, and now it is the end of spring and early summer of the following year, and the snow on the mountains is slowly melting in the warm sun, and the mountains and forests are spring, green and verdant.

Thunderstorm also lived alone in the mountains and forests for almost a year. The firewood cut in winter, due to the snow blocking the road, was not sent down the mountain, and was piled up in stacks on the open space outside the house, so a large piece. Strings of air-dried hares, pheasants, etc. hung on the beams in the house, and the thunderstorm had already adapted to this kind of life, and the person had grown a little taller, and the strong body had matured a lot, and he had grown from a teenager to a young man.

In the middle of summer last year, after the thunderstorm broke through the first layer of qi refining, it broke through to the second layer in less than three months, and now it is the peak of the second layer of qi refining, and the essence, qi, and spirit are obviously different from before.

The booklet "Eighteen Secrets of Eternal Life" left by the master is a profound cultivation**, the whole article is jerky and difficult to understand, with the foundation of "Introduction to Qi Refining"**, the two are compared, and I slowly experience, and I have some insights about the jerky and difficult places.

A person is undisturbed by no one on the mountain, and he cultivates every day, and the more obvious the qi flu is, but the trace of air flow zuihou does not converge to the dantian but gathers in the mud pill palace between the eyes, which makes him very incomprehensible, and he does not dare to ask others, so he can only hide in his heart and watch the changes.

After the thunderstorm sent firewood that day, he wandered on the street of Saojuya, waiting for Zhang Guangzu to go home, and when it was almost noon, he saw Zhang Guangzu, the fat dun who had not seen him for a long time, and the two people who had not seen each other for several months were very happy. I want to see how the other party who has broken through in cultivation has changed.

"I haven't seen you in a few months, you're going to be about the same height as me, you're not so fat, you're strong, and you're doing well," Lei Yu asked happily.

Zhang Guangzu watched the thunderstorm for a long time, "I found that your eyes are very special, completely different from him, what is special, I can't say, in short, very special", Zhang Guangzu ignored Lei Yu's question, and said his first impression of seeing the thunderstorm.

On the street, a small hotel called "A Pot of Drunk". The small and poorly furnished restaurant has taken up four of the only five crude tables, and the hotel gets its name from the home-brewed spirits.

Lei Yu and the two occupied the only empty table, sat down, a large bowl of braised pork, a plate of vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of steaming green vegetable and tofu soup, two bowls and a pot of drunkenness, and placed them on the table.

Fat Dun Zhang Guangzu ate braised pork in a big gulp, while talking about some things that had happened in the sect in recent months.

Thunderstorm quietly ate his meal, listening and thinking carefully. Every time they meet, it's like this, Zhang Guangzu was originally clever, cheerful, and liked to talk, while Lei Yu had a calm personality and loved to use his brain, and he didn't talk as much as Zhang Guangzu. Lei Yu has been alone on the mountain, one day in addition to chopping firewood, sending firewood down the mountain, is to meditate and practice, never contact with anyone outside the door, naturally seems a little lonely.

When he was about to eat, four people walked in outside the store, one of them was twenty-five or six years old, and at a glance he knew that his cultivation was the highest, his eyes were bright, and he walked up, and some of the higher-ranking people behaved, and the other three followed behind, and they were very respectful to him, and when they saw that the store was full, the three people looked at these tables, and came to Zhang Guangzu, who had turned his back to them, and pushed Zhang Guangzu.

Zhang Guangzu, who was speaking, looked back and saw them, quickly stood up, and said respectfully: "Master Deng, you are here, we just finished eating", turned around and shouted: "Little Er, settle the bill."

"Master Deng, you sit down first, and they will come to clean up the table immediately," Zhang Guangzu said respectfully.

The man surnamed Deng nodded, responded positively to Zhang Guangzu's performance, sat down and asked, "Little fatty, how did I do what I said?"

"I've found someone to say it, whether it's okay or not, I'll give Deng Ye a letter in the next two days," Zhang Guangzu replied.

"It's best to be successful, I'm in a hurry to use it", the surnamed Deng stopped paying attention to Zhang Guangzu after speaking.

"Got it, I'll urge again," Zhang Guangzu hurriedly replied.

Xiao Er settled the account, Zhang Guangzu said respectfully to the person surnamed Deng: "Master Deng, you use it slowly, say goodbye first", and pulled the thunderstorm out of the hotel.

On the way, Zhang Guangzu quietly told Lei Yu that the person surnamed Deng Naren was one of the bullies who walked sideways among the disciples of Xuanzhao Peak's outer sect, extremely vicious, and in the seventh-layer realm of qi refining, no one dared to provoke him, and his relationship with Zhou Taibao of Bicui Peak was also very special.

"And what does he want you to do for him?" asked Thunderstorm.

"He wanted to exchange a few pills with the people in the inner gate, and he knew that I was working in the pharmacy and had some intersections with the senior brother in the inner gate, so he asked me to build a bridge and help him, and I had to do my best to do it, but it was difficult to do it."

The weather in April, it is hot when it is hot, I drank some wine with Zhang Guangzu at noon, and it was really hot all the way back to the mountain, Lei Yu simply took off his robe, his upper body was naked, and he walked towards his home on the mountain step by step.

The woods were approaching, and the firewood that had been cut all winter, and what had not been delivered, was piled up high so that it could be seen from afar.

Today we were almost in the woods, and I still couldn't see the highest stack of firewood, and Thunderstorm felt a little strange. When I got closer, I saw that out of nowhere came a half-man-tall, white-haired ape, standing on the stack of firewood, throwing yards of firewood everywhere, all over the ground, and throwing it vigorously.

Lei Yu was very angry when he saw it: "That's my contribution value." After picking up a branch, he went to chase the white ape, and shouted while chasing: "That's my contribution value, I didn't offend you, how can I be so bad."

And the white ape, also learning from the thunderstorm, took a branch and fled while fighting back, chasing a hurried jumper to the tree, the thunderstorm could not reach, only dry staring.

What's even more angry is that when the white ape saw that Lei Yu stopped, after not chasing it, he teased and attacked him in turn, making Lei Yu angry and hateful, and there was nothing he could do with this white ape.
