As soon as Zhou Xingyu returned to his residence, he found that Li Tong was already waiting at his door.

"Brother Li, I've been bothering you these days." Looking at the wooden lunch box in the other party's hand, Zhou Xingyu said gratefully.

Because he knew that Zhou Xingyu was injured, Li Tong took the initiative to take on the task of bringing food for him these days.

Even if Zhou Xingyu himself said that the injury was not serious, it could only be regarded as a minor injury, and he could go to the canteen to eat by himself.

In Li Tong's eyes, Zhou Xingyu is a sick person who needs to be taken care of at all times.

can't be stubborn against the other party, and he can only accept the other party's kindness and put this piece of heart in his heart.

In fact, he still doesn't understand why the other party is so good to him, except for the time of returning to the Spring Valley, the two of them didn't know each other before, but since he entered the valley, Li Tong has taken care of him in every way, and sometimes he wonders if the other party is his lost relative, but he hasn't heard his parents say this.

"Don't bother, you hurry up and eat, it's not good to get cold later." After speaking, Li Tong did not leave, but continued to wander around his room, moving a table for him for a while, a chair for him for a while, and pouring water for him for a while.

Looking at the busy appearance of the other party, Zhou Xingyu's heart was full of emotion, from childhood to adulthood, the only person who is so good to him is his parents who are far away from his hometown, and Li Tong is the third.

Now that his strength is low, this friendship may only be returned to the other party slowly in the future.

"Brother Li, don't be busy, come over for dinner first." Zhou Xingyu greeted Li Tong and said, and at the same time took out the food in the lunch box.

Because he had to help Zhou Xingyu cook, Li Tong didn't have time to eat his share. So I brought it up together and dined with Zhou Xingyu.

Open the box, the top layer is a large plate of fat and thin pork belly, just open the lid of the box, a strong fragrance comes from the inside, more than a dozen finely chopped green onions, on the fat and thin fresh pork belly, see people's appetite greatly increased.

The second layer is a scrambled egg, there is no oil and water at a glance, but this is normal, it means that there are many disciples of the Xuanmen Sect, not counting the outside, there are no less than thousands of people on Yuntai Mountain alone, unless the middle and high-level people in the door, the rest of the people eat all the big pot dishes.

took out the rice in the last layer of the box, and looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him, because he didn't understand the repair function of Aoki, and Zhou Xingyu, who looked depressed, couldn't recover a little bit of his spirit.

The world is big, the food is the biggest, and the food comes first, so naturally you have to fill your stomach first.

Taizu also said that only food and love in the world cannot be disappointed.

After the two sat down, they each picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and after a wolf-gobbling meal, Zhou Xingyu sat on the table contentedly and took a nap, but a pair of eyes involuntarily glanced at Li Tong who was sitting opposite.

Even if he has seen it more than once, Zhou Xingyu's heart can't help but be shocked.

Li Tong saw that Zhou Xingyu finished eating and put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the whole person completely let go, and directly poured the remaining soup and leftover meals into the rice bowl. Not bad! It's a pot! It's not a bowl, people who practice martial arts are so arrogant when they eat!

He lowered his head, and then there was a continuous sound of ropes, and the food that had been enough for four or five people to eat quickly dwindled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Xingyu didn't see him raise his head and stop his movements.

I heard Wang Ye say that he was poor and rich in martial arts, but Zhou Xingyu didn't know what was going on, he always didn't know anything about it, after all, although he himself cultivated Aoki Jue, he didn't have much experience. But since Li Tong practiced the Bronze Pillar Gong, he somewhat understood that with this amount of food, ordinary people really can't afford it.

Although Li Tong could eat it in the past, there was still a limit, but after cultivating the copper pillar technique, the whole person seemed to have opened some unknown attribute, and directly transformed from a foodie to a rice bucket.

"I don't know if I'm like this after I officially practice martial arts?" Zhou Xingyu held his chin with his hands, thinking in his heart.

He frowned slightly, and he really couldn't think of what he would look like after he became a rice bucket.

After settling all the food in the basin, Li agreed to look at the empty plates on the table.

"The craftsmanship of the canteen master is really good, but the amount of food I cook every time is a little less, so that I can only eat half full."

Hearing Li Tong's exclamation, Zhou Xingyu almost fell to the ground unsteadily.

"Ah Xing, what's wrong? Could it be that the injury has worsened! ”

Looking at Li Tong, who was nervous, Zhou Xingyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just want to get distracted." ”

"By the way, Brother Li, I heard you say that you were going to break through the second layer, how is it now?" Zhou Xingyu diverted the topic and asked.

"Don't say it, I had a premonition that I was going to break through, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't break through now, but I'm scared to death, if it weren't for this feeling that has been haunting my heart recently, I would have felt that it was my delusion before." Li Tong said with a sad face.

He clearly felt that he had already stepped into the threshold of the second layer with one foot, and as long as he raised one more foot at this time, he could step over.

However, even if he can't lift his other foot in life or death, as if he is fixed by something, the beautiful scenery in front of him can only be quietly watched, but he can't do anything himself.

"Don't worry, Brother Li, since you have seen the bottleneck, the breakthrough is only a matter of time, the most important thing now is to calm down, and if you want to hurry, you can't ......" Zhou Xingyu wanted to comfort Li Tong, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't go on talking.

Anyone can say the truth, but doing it is another matter, why is he not like Li Tong, because of Aoki's decision.

Since you can't calm down, what reason is there to persuade the other party to do it.

Zhou Xingyu suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen in a book in Li Qingtai's study before.

When you go out, you will see a great guest, and make the people like a great sacrifice; Do unto others as you would have them do to you; No complaints in the state, no complaints at home.

Although the content of the book is different from my current situation, the principles in it are the same.

"But that's okay, I heard the master say that although the first two layers of cultivation in the copper pillar duel have to endure some hardships, they are not painful, and they can still endure it. After starting to cultivate the third layer, it is time to officially endure hardships. Speaking of this, Li Tong couldn't help but think of Li Qingtai's unexpectedly profound appearance when he said this, and couldn't help but shudder.

Regarding the cultivation of Tongzhu Gong, Li Tong has never told Zhou Xingyu how he feels about practicing. In fact, he himself is not as relaxed as Zhou Xingyu seems.

When he was cultivating the first layer, Li Qingtai asked Zhou Xingyu to strike him, and that night he was lying on the bed, feeling the swollen muscles behind his back, and he wanted to give up.

Fortunately, after the ability of his body to resist blows was improved, he resisted.

Zhou Xingyu just saw him concentrating on practicing, in fact, how did he know how many nights when no one was there, he cried more than once, and planned to tell Li Qingtai the next day that he would stop practicing.

In order to practice the first layer of the Bronze Pillar Technique, he had a period of time when he couldn't sleep peacefully at all, and as soon as he lay on the bed, the overwhelming pain came from every tribe in his body. Because he was covered with injuries large and small, he could only sleep on his side so that his body would not touch the bed.

He still can't forget that terrible time, and he is deeply impressed by every detail of that sleepless night.

In fact, he was very envious of Zhou Xingyu, not only could he become Li Qingtai's personal disciple, but he could also be so idle every day, Aoki decided that he had also practiced for a period of time, basically as long as he meditated and endured loneliness, it was fine.

Unlike the Bronze Pillar Jue, if you want to achieve something, you have to suffer inhuman torture, to be honest, he doesn't know if he can persevere under Li Qingtai's so-called hardships when he cultivates to the third layer.

Although he envied Zhou Xingyu, Li Tongxin definitely did not have a trace of jealousy, because if it weren't for Zhou Xingyu, he would have been driven out of the Rejuvenation Valley at this time.

He had heard from those disciples outside the Rejuvenation Valley that the rivers and lakes were dangerous, and that people would be injured or even die every day.

I just suffered a little in the Rejuvenation Valley, but after all, I didn't have to worry about my life.

The two chatted for a while, and finally Li Tong put away the tableware and left.

Li Tong left, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell Zhou Xingyu to recuperate his injuries and strive for an early recovery.

He himself has been injured a lot, and he has studied medical skills with Li Qingtai for a period of time, so he knows that some injuries are obviously only very small, and if he doesn't pay attention to them, the injuries will easily worsen.

Seeing Li Tong leave, Zhou Xingyu turned around and closed the door and took out two boxes from under the bed.

One contained half of the Jinjing jade pendant given to him by Wang Ye, and the other was a jade pendant given to him by his parents.

"When I experimented before, I used dead things such as tables and wood, maybe I changed my thinking, and it happened that Brother Ye sent half a Jinjing jade diaphragm, I should try it, maybe there will be unexpected gains......"

Thinking in his heart, Zhou Xingyu began to prepare.

In fact, he was quite envious of Li Tong, although the Bronze Pillar Gong had to suffer a lot when he cultivated, the growth of his strength was also visible to the naked eye.

With strength, you can protect what you want to protect, and do a lot of things that you wanted to do before but couldn't.

Unlike himself, he has no ability to resist risks at all, Aoki Jue is a waste exercise, and he can't improve his strength at all, those disciples who enter the Zhixuanmen with him, any one of them can easily defeat him, even those who have not passed the examination, if he really wants to make a move, he is almost doomed to be defeated.

This is also the reason why he is obsessed with finding a repair principle, because his heart has always longed for a power to change the status quo of his life.

Even if he doesn't know how to use this power now, at least it can make Aoki Tsuku look less useless and bring some difference to his life.

……

"It's useless, it's still useless, it seems that Aoki Jue's ability to repair the jade pendant is just an exception, I shouldn't have hope for it, this is a garbage exercise."

Zhou Xingyu was lying on the bed, his eyes were empty, and his heart was empty.

Just now, he tried to repair the half of the Golden Well Jade Appendix through Aoki Duan, but failed.

He had tried all the ways he knew, and everything pointed to one fact.

Aoki was never able to repair anything other than the jade pendant.

If he found Aoki for the first time, he would be able to restore the jade pendant, bringing a different luster to his original life. Now, this light is gone.

Life seems to be back to the way it was before.
