In the early morning, before the first rays of sunlight were projected on the earth, Sun Li had already opened his eyes, walked out of the room quickly, stood in the courtyard, and squinted his eyes to look east.

After a dozen breaths, the eastern horizon suddenly lit up, and the arc belonging to the sun was revealed, followed by a faint purple gas.

Xiaodonglai purple qi, a kind of high-grade vitality, only appears when the sun rises, and the existence time is only a short quarter of an hour, after absorption, it can make people refreshed and prolong life......

When Sun Li saw that piece of purple qi, he immediately closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and then entered a state of ethereal outward vision, and suddenly there was a chaotic color around him.

Sun Li was familiar with the mottled inferior vitality, and directly launched a traction towards the little Donglai purple qi, pulling a little bit into his body, he felt a sudden coldness all over his body, a shock to his spirit, and a complete dissipation of sleepiness.

At the same time, the two cyclones in the dantian also rotated at high speed, compressing the absorbed Xiaodonglai purple qi continuously, striving to form a third cyclone.

"Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe......"

However, in the end, the third cyclone did not form, and in half a moment, the purple qi from the east completely dissipated, and Nie Xiaoqian's voice came, "It's work!"

It's work!

Sun Li slowly opened his eyes, smiled bitterly, shook his head, lifted the two wooden barrels on one side and walked towards the mountain stream outside the temple, and began to carry water to water the trees.

There is no way to do this, after all, this is part of the transaction, and if you don't do it yourself, you won't be able to cultivate at all. However, the problem now that I have obtained the skill is that although I can cultivate, I don't have enough time to cultivate.

The time for my current cultivation is only two hours, and this is still squeezed out by my own efforts.

It's not enough, it's not enough, the cultivation time is far from enough, Sun Li sighed secretly.

I'm still very interested in cultivation, although it's a little boring, but when I think of those flying spells, I can't help but be full of motivation. According to what Nie Xiaoqian said, only when there are five cyclones condensed in her body, can she barely use a magic weapon like the gold-edged peach petals in her hand. And only when the cyclones reach nine, and then break through again, can you learn advanced spells.

And now, he only has two cyclones, although absorbing thunder qi every day makes himself much stronger than the normal cultivators of two cyclones, but he can't use magic weapons or learn spells beyond the level.

There is a long way to go, Sun Li shook his head, carried two buckets of water from the mountain stream, and walked towards the temple with difficulty.

"Whoa, whoa", one bucket of water poured down, two buckets of water poured down.

"Whoa, whoa", ten buckets of water were poured down, and twenty buckets of water were poured down.

"Whoa, whoa", fifty buckets of water were poured down, and a hundred buckets of water were poured down.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Sun Li completed today's task, only to feel that the bones in his body were about to fall apart. But Sun Li didn't have any complaints, after all, this was his own choice, this was the price of his own cultivation, he just silently looked at the path leading to the mountain stream outside the temple, and frowned slightly.

After a while, Sun Li walked out of the temple and began to measure something, whispering constantly in his mouth, "The distance is four hundred steps, and the difference is thirteen steps......

"Hey, what are you doing?" Nie Xiaoqian asked curiously.

At this time, Sun Li had already walked to the bank of the stream, and was gesturing with his hands, and only looked at Nie Xiaoqian after a long time, and said calmly: "I'm thinking, if I make a waterwheel here, will it be easier in the future." ”

"Huh?" Nie Xiaoqian looked puzzled and walked over, "Waterwheel?"

"Yes. Sun Li nodded, and then slowly explained, "Make a waterwheel here, you can raise the water in the mountain stream to a high place." Then a pipe made of bamboo was erected, supported by a shelf, and sloped downwards until it reached the temple. The water can flow continuously under the tree, and I don't have to work so hard to lift water in the future, and I can save a lot of time for cultivation. ”

"Oh. Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly, "But it takes a lot of work, is it worth it?"

"Why isn't it worth it?" Sun Li asked rhetorically, "Isn't there a saying that sharpening a knife doesn't take a woodcutter." ”

"Sharpening knives doesn't take a woodcutter?What kind of allusion is this?" Nie Xiaoqian suddenly turned her head to look.

Sun Li's expression stiffened slightly, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then said, "Once upon a time, there was an old rich man who divided his two sons, and in order to see who was the most capable, he gave each of them a rusty woodcutter to chop wood. The eldest son took the knife and cut it, but the younger son did not hurry to sharpen the knife with a stone first. ”

The eldest son laughed at the younger son, saying that he had worked in vain, and that it was better to hurry up and chop wood. But the younger son didn't say anything, and continued to grind until he had finished grinding, and then cut wood. As a result, the eldest son cut very hard, and the younger son cut quickly and easily, and soon surpassed the eldest son and brought back a lot of firewood. So the old man gave most of his fortune to his younger son, because he knew that the younger son would make a fortune. ”

"Oh. Nie Xiaoqian nodded and stopped talking.

And Sun Li looked at Nie Xiaoqian again, and asked softly, "That, senior sister, I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow." ”

"Huh?"

"Sharpening knives doesn't take a woodcutter, I'm going to go to find bamboo before tomorrow, so can I not carry water tomorrow." ”

"In addition, if you encounter any monsters or beasts or something, you can also practice your hands, let me see the recent cultivation results. Sun Li added.

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened, and she looked at Sun Li for a long time, and when Sun Li was unpredictable, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, but ...... You're going to take me. ”

"You're going too?"

"That's right, grandma doesn't usually talk to me, and I'm bored in the temple, so I'm going to go with you, what's the matter, you don't agree?"

Sun Li's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said very firmly: "Absolutely agree." ”

"Okay, that's good. Nie Xiaoqian replied.

......

He was speechless all night, and when he was silent the next morning, Sun Li, who had absorbed the purple qi from Xiaodonglai, took the prepared things and walked out of the temple gate. Outside the temple gate, Nie Xiaoqian had been waiting for a long time.

Sun Li looked at the other party and found that Nie Xiaoqian was still the same decoration as before, green shoes, green skirt, green cedar, the only difference was that she wore an extra aqua blue coat to resist the cold of the early morning.

"Let's go. Sun Li didn't talk nonsense, just glanced at the other party briefly, and immediately spoke. After all, with such a large mangrove, it is still a question whether bamboo can be found in one day.

And Nie Xiaoqian nodded very clearly, and walked forward directly.

So the two of them breathed in the fresh morning air and quietly entered the depths of the forest. At this time, the faint white mist has not yet dissipated, floating around, but there is a sense of beauty. But Sun Li didn't think so, because it blocked his vision to a large extent.

Blocking your line of sight means that your exploration range will be greatly reduced, and it means that it will take more time to find the bamboo.

More than an hour later, it proved this. No matter how hard Sun Li searched, the bamboo seemed to be hidden, and he couldn't see a single one.

After most of the day, Sun Li stopped next to a waterhole a little breathlessly, greedily drank a few sips of water, looked up again, and asked casually to Nie Xiaoqian on the side, "By the way, that senior sister, do you know where there is bamboo?"

To be honest, Sun Li didn't think that Nie Xiaoqian knew, after all, the other party had also followed the rotation for so long, and it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

But what Sun Li never expected was that Nie Xiaoqian actually answered, pointed in one direction with his hand, and said calmly, "There seems to be a bamboo forest in that direction." ”

In an instant, Sun Li's body froze in place, his neck turned little by little, and then he looked directly at Nie Xiaoqian, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded fiercely, and said word by word: "Much-thanks-senior-sister!"

I even know!

Sun Li really wanted to hit the wall, but the other party actually knew, so why did he turn around for more than an hour?

After a long time, Sun Liqiang cheered up and walked in the direction that Nie Xiaoqian pointed to. Then at noon, I finally saw a large green bamboo forest, moving in the wind, so not spectacular.

But at this time, Sun Li didn't have any joy, just untied the axe on his waist and cut it at the nearest bamboo.

"Bang bang, bang, click. A bamboo fell to the ground, and Sun Li kept reading, "You did it on purpose, you didn't mean it, you did it on purpose." ”

"Not intentionally, intentionally, not intentionally. Sun Li picked up the axe again and slashed at the other bamboo, "Bang bang, click." ”

After "bang bang ......", Sun Li slashed towards the third bamboo

"Deliberately, not deliberately, so ......" But just before the third blow was cut, the voice in his mouth stopped abruptly.

Quiet......

Suddenly, Sun Li noticed that the surroundings were quiet and terrifying, and slowly turned his head to look around, and found that Nie Xiaoqian's figure disappeared without a trace.

This is not the most important thing, after all, Nie Xiaoqian is very likely to go for a walk or something, but Sun Li can feel that there is a kind of evil aura in this quiet.

"This is?" Sun Li put the axe in his hand, quietly changed to the most suitable position for chopping, and then clenched it, and the muscles of his whole body began to contract, and his eyes suddenly cold.

Left, no.

On the right, no.

Front, no.

Behind......

Yes!

The next moment, Sun Li's eyes shrank slightly, and he saw a faint yellow fur with spots appear in a bush of grass dozens of steps behind him.

Spotted, yellow fur, golden leopard!

Is it the old money leopard who killed the other party's son before?

Sun Li's eyes sharpened, his body turned, and then he stared at the grass.

After a long while, it seemed that the other party who was hiding in the grass knew that he had been discovered, so the grass "banged", and a slightly old leopard slowly walked out. Lying low, full of resentment, that gaze made Sun Li's body cold.

That's the gaze of hatred, never to die!
