During Lu Yuan's dermabrasion cultivation, he felt a warm current of heat all over his body, and it was the food he ate at lunch that was digesting and replenishing his consumption.

Prior to this, Lu Yuan didn't have this obvious feeling when he cultivated the Spring Thunder Duel.

He guessed that this was probably related to the feeding of the Spirit Devouring Bead, after sacrificing Zhou Zheng, his martial arts talent became a lot stronger, and his cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort.

Lu Yuan was immersed in cultivation until he was exhausted, and then he closed his fists and stood up.

At this time, Lu Yuan had a layer of hot sweat all over his body, and he tore off his soaked shirt, and beads of sweat slid down, revealing a cheetah-like muscle with clear lines and smooth lines.

It's just that compared to the strong man in the same realm, Lu Yuan looks a lot thinner, this is because Lu Yuan is younger, plus his foundation is poor, and his body is weak.

Lu Yuan is very satisfied with his current state, he doesn't like big muscles, his strong body with knotted muscles will make him feel bloated, which will seriously affect his flexibility in battle.

If the muscles are too big, you can't even scratch the itchy back.

...

Fetching water to wash his body clean, Lu Yuan put on a refreshing short suit and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard to cool off.

In the summer evening, the sun is slanting in the west, and it still can't fade away the heat wave that bakes the earth.

A gentle breeze blows through the bamboo forest, bringing a touch of coolness.

"Now the question is how to increase the energy points..."

While resting, Lu Yuan thought about where to get the spirit qi and blood to sacrifice to the Spirit Devouring Bead.

Although the energy points increase a little bit with each passing day, this is also too slow.

To kill and sacrifice?

No, no, no!

After experiencing modern education, Lu Yuan will not kill innocents indiscriminately for the sake of his own strength growth.

Besides, the current strength of Lu Yuan is not enough, he can only bully and bully ordinary people, a strong man like Lu Lei only provides 5 points of energy, and the pay is not proportional to the return.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Who said that only human beings can be sacrificed, and there is also qi and blood in the body of animals!"

Lu Yuan thought about buying some chickens and ducks to try.

It's a pity that he is now in the Lu family, and Lu Yan's father and son will definitely not let him out.

As for the chickens and ducks in captivity in the Lu guy's room...

Lu Yuan shook his head, he didn't bother to do such a short-sighted thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs.

Whoa—

Just then, there was a sound of water outside the courtyard.

Lu Yuan got up and followed the sound to see that it was a lotus pond, on the other side of the bamboo forest.

In the center of the lotus pond also stands a long corridor and a small pavilion, the lotus root grows crazy in summer, several lotus flowers pour into the pavilion, the leaves are as big as a wheel, crowded one after another.

And under the lotus leaves of these pavilions, there are several large fish swimming in the water, jumping high from time to time and hitting a large splash.

"Isn't this just a sacrifice sent to your door?"

Lu Yuan said that he would do it, cut a long bamboo, tied it to the line, and made a simple fish hook with wire.

After putting on the earthworm, Lu Yuan came to the small pavilion, threw it towards the place where the big fish had just been happy, and then sat on the railing with a fishing rod in one hand and watched the movement in the water.

Lu Yuan can be described as a master in fishing, and he almost never has an air force.

In a few moments, the rod sank downward.

Lu Yuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and with force in his hand, he pulled a two-pound carp out of the water.

Whoop -

The water splashed.

Lu Yuan threw the carp on the ground and turned his belly directly.

After looking around, and after seeing that there was no one, Lu Yuan activated the sacrificial ability.

I saw that this carp dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into blood-colored points of light, and was devoured by the Spirit Devouring Bead.

Compared to devouring flesh and blood with the Spirit Devouring Bead, Lu Yuan was more inclined to absorb energy.

[Power Points: 5]

To Lu Yuan's disappointment, after the whole carp was sacrificed, the energy point flickered slightly, and it still stayed at 5 points.

"Animal sacrifice can indeed increase the energy point slightly, but it will not be displayed if it is less than 1 point, so try catching a few more fish."

Lu Yuan continued to hang the bait and throw the rod until the sun was about to set, and finally when he sacrificed the fifth big carp, the energy point increased to 6.

"It's not easy, I finally added a little bit, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I must buy dozens of pigs and sacrifice them fiercely!"

Lu Yuanzhi felt his eyelids fight, put away the fishing rod, and got up to go back to the house to rest.

As soon as he got out of the pavilion, through the lotus pond, Lu Yuan saw a figure walking towards him.

When the man got closer, Lu Yuan recognized it as Yahuan Xia He, who had served him before.

Xia He carried a heavy basket, covered with a cloth, and because it was dark, she walked a little slowly.

"Young Master! Young Master Lu Yuan! ”

Xia He saw Lu Yuan from a distance.

Lu Yuan hesitated slightly, but still got out of the lotus pond and took the initiative to greet him.

"Xia He, why are you here?"

"Young master, I heard that the caravan encountered mountain bandits, are you okay, are you injured?"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

Xia He circled around Lu Yuan a few times, and when he saw that he was unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, I saw that you didn't go to the room to eat at night, so I specially brought you some food."

The two came to the stone table in the courtyard, Xia He lifted the white cloth on the basket, and took out a few dishes from it, as well as a whole roast chicken.

"Don't go to the room to eat with us in the future, I'll bring you food."

Xia He's voice was clear and soft, and he looked at Lu Yuan softly.

She always felt that Young Master Lu Yuan had become a little different from before, but what the specific difference was, she couldn't say it for a while.

I think it was because he experienced the pain of losing his father and escaped from the death of the mountain bandits, which made Lu Yuan grow up and mature a lot.

"You're not my maid now, so why bother bringing me food?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the delicacies on the stone table, these dishes were not something that the servants could eat in the room.

"Young Master... Don't say that, I'll always be your maid, you know, I still have younger brothers and sisters at home, and my mother is sick and waiting for me to take the money back..."

Hearing Lu Yuan's cold words, Xia He's eyes turned red instantly, tears swirled in his eyes, and his eyes revealed inexplicable resentment.

The girl's true feelings were revealed, and she stared at Lu Yuan with teary eyes, which made Lu Yuan a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what words to say to comfort.

In the memory of the original owner, Xia He was a gentle and kind girl who had a good relationship with him.

There is a sick old mother in the family, and the family of four is all supported by Xia He's salary in the Lu family.

Therefore, Xia He has no ability to resist some of the Lu family's arrangements.

"Young master, since you left, Lu Yan gave me your room, but don't worry, I haven't been there, and I have protected myself very well, and I didn't let Lu Yan him..."

Xia He's voice became smaller and smaller, and his head slowly lowered, "Young Master, you eat first, and I'll clean up the room for you." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xia He trotted into Lu Yuan's house, lit the candles, and made the bed carefully.

Lu Yuan glanced sideways at her back, and there was a slight inexplicable brilliance in his deep eyes.
