With the increase in repair, the high efficiency of +10 progress every 3 days has dropped back to +3 every 3 days, which is +1 progress per day.

And on the day when Xiuwei broke through to the ninth layer of Qi training.

Morning.

As Meng Zhou completed the method of knotting a rope in about forty seconds, the experience of knotting a hundred methods was +1, and he was promoted from Xiaocheng to Dacheng.

The rope spirit has also gone further from "1st Order 79/100" to "1st Order 80/100".

In an instant, a strong feeling of hunger entered Meng Zhou's heart.

Meng Zhou immediately understood what was about to happen, and immediately took out all the wood-based spiritual materials stored in the Feiyu volute.

There are 151 parts of medium-grade wood-based spiritual materials and 25 parts of high-grade wood-based spiritual materials.

As soon as Meng Zhou took out these spiritual materials and stacked them in the room, a thin rope had already snaked out of his hand, coiling through the wood-based spiritual materials, and it was frantically absorbing the spirituality contained in these many spiritual materials.

And before the tail of the rope flew out of his sleeve, it flicked it lightly and placed the jade volute on Meng Zhou's hand.

A piece of wood-based spiritual material in complete condition turned into a pile of useless wood dust with the loss of spirituality, and the crazy hunger accumulated from the "first-order 40/100" slumber to the extreme is being alleviated little by little.

When the thirtieth medium-grade wood spiritual material was devoured, Bai Ya's voice finally sounded in Meng Zhou's heart again.

"Uncle, I'm alive again."

Meng Zhou asked curiously in his heart: "Bai Ya, why did you sleep for so long this time?" ”

Bai Ya said: "Uncle, I have actually been woken up by hunger several times.

Especially when I was advancing from the middle of the first order to the late stage of the first order, if I hadn't held back, I would have woken up hungry at that time. ”

"Wake up hungry, wake up hungry, why endure so much hard work?" Meng Zhou said.

"I'm here to save spirit stones for you, uncle!" Bai Ya said.

"Save the spirit stone for me? How to save? Meng Zhou asked suspiciously.

"If I can try to go one step further, I can save you a lot of spiritual material consumption......

With Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou also understood the meaning of her words.

Bai Ya has been asleep since she entered the "First Order 40/100", and now she has not been awakened by hunger until "First Order 80/100".

The first thing she has to make up for is the spiritual deficiency between "first-order 40/100" and "first-order 80/100", and only after making up for this part of the debt can she continue to absorb spiritual materials and spiritually charge higher.

Both of these are of course fed on the spirituality in a large number of wood-based spiritual materials, but the latter's demand for spirituality far exceeds that of the former.

The former is equivalent to an adult who is so hungry that he is out of shape, and he is restored to a normal human body by supplementing with plenty of food.

The latter is equivalent to a hungry minor, and the food he ingests not only helps him return to his normal body, but also helps him grow from "underage" to "adult".

The latter requires much more food than the former.

“……”

After listening to Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou was a little emotional, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Just when Meng Zhou felt in his heart, all the first-order mid-grade spiritual materials had been drained of the essence by Bai Ya.

At this moment, she has also continued to grow upwards on the basis of "first-order 80/100".

When the first high-grade spiritual material was absorbed and the essence was lost, Bai Ya's growth had reached "94/100 of the first order".

By the time the fifteenth high-grade spiritual material was sucked out of spirituality, Bai Ya's growth had reached the apex of the first order, "99/100 of the first order".

But after that, she let her smoke five high-grade spiritual materials in a row, and this data was always like this, and there was no further step.

Just when Meng Zhou thought that Bai Ya would suck up the remaining five first-order high-grade spiritual materials in one go, she stopped.

"Why don't you continue?" Meng Zhou asked curiously.

"No, it's a waste to continue."

Speaking of this, Bai Ya said in his heart with regret:

"I originally wanted to use this momentum to break through the barrier from the first order to the second order."

"But I suddenly realized just now that I can't rush through this step like this!"

"What's the problem?" Meng Zhou hurriedly asked.

"The spiritual quality of these wood-based spiritual materials is not enough."

Bai Ya gave the answer directly, and then gave an explanation:

"If my progress had always followed the progress of your knotter, uncle, I wouldn't have been like this.

If you advance from a first-order knotter to a second-order knotter, then I can easily complete the breakthrough from the first to the second order.

But now it's happening that I've grown so far ahead of your knot-twister that I'm no longer able to get help from you.

In this case, if you want to complete the breakthrough from the first order to the second order, you can only use the spirituality of other second-order spiritual materials as an introduction, and build a ladder for me to ascend first. ”

As early as halfway through Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou had roughly guessed her needs.

But when she made it clear thoroughly, Meng Zhou was still a little shocked in her heart.

"Yaya, can't the first-order spiritual material satisfy you anymore?"

"If it really has to be a second-order spiritual material, then Uncle's suggestion is that you better wait first."

"When my knotster's level comes up, I'll let you take a ride directly.

According to you, it doesn't cost you much, and you don't have to worry about it any longer. ”

He was not in a hurry, but Bai Ya was in a hurry first, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't be, don't be busy making decisions first!" ”

"Are you worried that the price of second-order spiritual materials is too high for you to afford now?"

"You don't have to worry about this at all, I have a solution!"

"Oh, how?" Meng Zhou was really curious about this.

"You don't need to buy second-order spiritual materials at a high price, you just need to be able to find second-order elixir magic weapons that failed to be refined...... I don't know how much they're worth, but they must be cheaper than a full second-order spiritual material. ”

In order to be able to advance as soon as possible, Bai Ya also fought hard, and she didn't even care about "junk food".

But after listening to her advice, Meng Zhou's eyes became dangerous, staring at Bai Ya, who was shuttling between his fingers, and said slowly in his heart:

"Yaya, such a good way, why didn't you say it when I was in Warm Cloud Valley before?"

The most important thing in Warm Cloud Valley is the elixir and magic weapon that have failed to be refined, and a large number of various spiritual herbs and elixirs are used in the elixir.

Broadly speaking, these are all wood-based spiritual materials, and they all contain wood-based spirituality.

The reason why he had always excluded this from the scope of selection was because the various types of wood-based spiritual materials required for alchemy contained more value than wood-based spiritual materials, and the weight was less, which was not cost-effective for him and was not considered.

Yaya hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I used to be young, I could only eat delicate food, and rashly eating those junk foods that were too spiritually complicated will in turn pollute my foundation!" ”

Meng Zhou didn't know how credible this reason was, but it sounded reasonable, not to mention, he couldn't really take Yaya, at most he could only take it lightly.

Just as she was about to get off the donkey, Bai Ya suddenly changed the topic and said, "Uncle, you might as well help me think about it, in the second order, in addition to the wood spirit, which spirit should I choose as the new foundation?" ”

"What do you mean?" Meng Zhou was stunned.

"Didn't I say it?" Bai Ya asked a question and immediately explained.

Meng Zhou quickly understood that the wood system was the "innate endowment" of the rope spirit Bai Ya, and at the first order, she could only absorb the wood system spirituality and constantly consolidate the foundation of the wood system.

But after she advances to the second order, in addition to the innate foundation of the wood system, she can choose another line as her second foundation as the new "innate endowment".

This was really a completely unexpected news for Meng Zhou, and he had no intention of thinking about anything else, thinking about it wholeheartedly.

And Bai Ya also yawned at the right time and said to Meng Zhou:

"Uncle, I'm going to sleep.

Now I don't have to stay awake like I used to, if you have enough materials, you can wake me up in time. ”

"Go, go."

……

Time flickered, and more than half a month passed.

In addition to practicing and continuing to practice the Hundred Methods of Knotting, Meng Zhou also often wandered around Fang City, collected a lot of useful information, and became more and more familiar with the situation in Qinglinfang.

On this day, it was almost evening, and Meng Zhou was practicing the hundred knots in the house, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Meng Zhou opened the door and saw that it was the Ruyi Juchen shopkeeper who was already familiar.

"Lao Chen, is there something?" Meng Zhou asked.

Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile: "Isn't it the end of the year today, the rules of our Ruyi House, every year tonight, we will invite guests to get together and wait for the arrival of a new day." ”

Meng Zhou nodded, and then realized that today was the last day of the year.

Cultivators' reactions to time were generally relatively slow, and the changes in the four seasons in the hinterland of the Qingxuan Domain were not obvious, so that Meng Zhou didn't even realize it.

However, after Chen's explanation, Meng Zhou will also come to his senses.

Waiting for a new day may sound like a New Year's celebration, but for a practitioner, it's not a tradition.

But there has always been a saying, that is, time is like water, the four seasons flow, and the cycle repeats.

At the end of each year, it is the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.

At the end and beginning of this, the world will be fine-tuned and reset like a watch, and enter a new cycle with a new look.

The so-called one-dimensional renewal, Vientiane renewal.

It is said that if the cultivation is advanced enough and the perception is sharp enough, you can even feel that the aura of heaven and earth will change subtly at this time.

This is the best time of the year to get a glimpse of the way of heaven.

So, in the face of Shopkeeper Chen's invitation, Meng Zhou didn't hesitate and agreed.

Coming to the spacious and elegant courtyard of Ruyiju, Meng Zhou found that more than a dozen monks had been sitting apart, and soon after he came, more people arrived, and finally there were more than thirty people.

Only then did Meng Zhou realize that there were so many guests in the quiet and lonely Ruyi Residence on weekdays.

Some monks meet acquaintances and sit together in twos and threes, gossiping and talking.

There are also many people like Meng Zhou, who have no acquaintances, or listen to other people's gossip, or sit quietly, looking up at the sky.

Everyone didn't feel embarrassed, they were all cultivators who had cultivated all the way to the late stage of Qi cultivation, and this psychological quality was still there.

Everyone even had a rare relaxation for this, which was quite a bit of a comfortable and quiet fun.

Meng Zhou focused his attention on his keen five senses, but until Shopkeeper Chen reminded him that the old year had ended and the new year had begun, he did not notice that the so-called vision of the reset of heaven and earth had occurred.

Everything, it seems, is no different.

At this moment, Meng Zhou suddenly raised his head and looked at the northern sky.

The north of Qinglinfang is the mountain gate of Qingxuanzong, the direction of Qinglin Peak.

With his keen eyesight, in this dim night, he faintly saw a series of black shadows moving in the sky, from the direction of Qinglin Peak, sweeping over Qinglin Fang, all the way to the south.

When those black shadows appeared in the sky above Qinglinfang, the person who discovered this vision was far from Meng Zhouren.

The more than thirty late-stage Qi cultivation cultivators beside Meng Zhou alone all turned into stupid geese, opening their mouths one by one, almost breaking their necks, watching those black shadows in the sky move.

When the shadows disappeared, the quiet crowd suddenly exploded.

"Spaceship!"

"Why did Qingxuanzong dispatch so many spaceships at this time?"

"What are they doing here?"

"I've been here for a long time, and I've never seen such a big movement in Qingxuanzong, have any of you seen it......"

“……”

In the crowd, Meng Zhou didn't open his mouth to echo, but he still couldn't help but complain in his heart: Qingxuanzong, what kind of plane are you doing?
