Leave him alone in the year of cultivation, Gu Zuo thinks that the absorption of spirit stones plays a more important role in it, if you take the average of the three sects, this number is about ninety yuan, and if you are conservative and take the low value, it should be one hundred and ten yuan.

After calculating, he has been practicing for two and a half years, and the total number of spirit stones he has absorbed has also reached ninety, which is about forty-five pieces of others according to the calculation of efficiency, that is to say, he still has to absorb about ninety to one hundred and thirty spirit stones before he can break through to the late stage of qi refining.

Of course, the premise is that the Spirit Searching Technique will not cause him too much trouble in breaking through the comprehension level. This is also the question that Gu Zuo wants to verify the most.

Judging from the speed at which he absorbs one spirit stone in three days, he sets aside four hours for eating and adjusting every three days of cultivation, and absorbs nine pieces per month, which is about a year.

In the past two and a half years, I have delayed too much time, this is the bitter fruit of my own hard work, and it is not easy to do this.

After thinking about it, it is better to find a place to practice well, and it is best to have someone to serve you to eat, drink, and stretch out your hand, so that you don't have to waste time and energy on trivial things in life.

If you go to make offerings to others, you can't find the kind of master who is prone to trouble, but who can know this kind of thing in advance? Even the He family can be in trouble, let alone others.

Therefore, it is best to find a small household, a little more solid, there is a vacant house, of course, it is best to bring a back garden to try out. After finding it, I can pay the rent and food, and it will be enough to spend seven or eight times a year.

As soon as he thought of it, Gu Zuo simply stopped in Xunzhou and asked Yaxing if there was any suitable house to rent. Xunzhou is not big, and the people in the tooth shop listened to Gu Zuo's request, even if they said that there was a family, and only such a family met the conditions.

It is a two-way courtyard facing the river, surrounded by a half-acre garden at the back. Needless to say, when he turned to this garden, Gu Zuo fell in love at a glance. The garden is on the edge of the Yushui River, and the flowers and plants planted are very ordinary, obviously no one takes care of them, although the flowers and plants are luxuriant, they grow very messy and mixed, and there is a willow tree in the corner.

The most important thing is that in the northeast corner of the garden, there is a tiled house, which can live in people.

The person who came forward to contact was a black-faced man in his thirties, and the tooth man called him Butler Xue, after Gu Zuo was in the picture, he immediately inquired, and after the Xue housekeeper asked Gu Zuo himself to rent, he didn't agree at first, until the tooth man said a lot of good things on the side, and heard that Gu Zuo rented this garden, not an empty house in the front yard, so he hesitated to accept it.

The negotiated price is 600 wen per month, and the garden and the tiled house are all temporarily occupied by Gu Zuo, and the main family is responsible for cleaning, and he does not enter the garden without trespassing. As for the meal, Gu Zuo asked to settle the account according to each meal, and when he needed to eat, he would inform him in advance, and he would eat whatever the host's family ate, just to be full.

After the negotiation was settled, the dental store helped to set up a deed, and Gu Zuo handed over the 600 yuan from the dental store on the spot, paid the housekeeper three months' room money, and officially moved in.

Coming out of the back door of the garden, he walked along the edge of the water for half an hour, and when he returned, the butler had already taken a servant woman and swept the tiled house and the garden. Asked if Gu Zuo had dinner today, Gu Zuo shook his head, but he just booked dinner three days later, paid fifty yuan in advance, and specified that he wanted to eat to his heart's content, and there would be chicken, fish and other dishes.

When the butler withdrew from the garden with the servant woman and closed the small door that connected to the front yard, the whole garden suddenly became clear. Gu Zuo sat in the garden, looking at the green willows, flowers and plants, looking at everything that was vibrant and quiet in front of him, and his heart gradually felt peaceful.

After meditating for a long time, Gu Zuo's mood adjusted properly, entered the tiled house, closed the door, closed the window lattice, got on the wooden bed, held a spiritual stone in his palm, and began to lie down and practice.

A trace of spiritual power was drawn out of the stone, circled around Gu Zuo twice, and was swallowed and absorbed into the sea of qi. And then and then and so forth......

This is three days.

Three days later, the spirit stone in his palm lost its luster and could no longer absorb the slightest spiritual power, Gu Zuo got up and pushed open the door. At this moment, the sun is tilting to the west, dragging out patches of red fiery clouds in the sky, and the scene is very impressive.

After looking at it for a moment, Gu Zuo pushed open the small door connecting the front yard, only to see that the housekeeper and the servant woman were already waiting in front of the door as agreed. Gu Zuo nodded and invited them into the garden, and the garden immediately began to be cleaned. The two of them moved quickly, and after a short time, they finished cleaning, and rolled up the small half of the spider web that had just formed at the corner of the eaves, and even found and cleaned up the spider.

The servant woman entered the house, scrubbed the dust, changed the sheets on the bed with a new one, and then went out with Gu Zuo's bucket of grain relics.

Soon, the food was delivered, a pot of rice, two plates of vegetarian dishes, a bowl of fish, and a bowl of fresh chicken soup filled with chicken nuggets, all prepared according to Gu Zuo's requirements.

After not eating for three days, Gu Zuo was already so hungry at the moment that he was close to his back, and he immediately feasted. After eating and drinking soup, the servant woman came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and also took out the old clothes that Gu Zuo had changed to wash.

Gu Zuo booked dinner three days later, and also gave fifty wen, and after the servant woman left, he evacuated and evacuated the muscles and bones in the garden, played a set of Lingfei boxing techniques, and then went back to the room, continued to lie down and practice, and absorbed the second spirit stone......

Every three days, Gu Zuo closed the long pass here.

The owner of the house can play the pipa, and sometimes when Gu Zuoyan is lying down and practicing, he can hear the faint sound of the pipa in the front yard. Although the sound of the pipa was already very small when it reached the house, and it would not disturb his cultivation, he still borrowed two quilts from the master's house and hung them on the window lattice and door to block out all the sound.

He did not protest against his master's playing, because sometimes when he came out of retreat, when he sat in the garden after eating, he listened to the pipa music while making a large bowl of tea, which was also an indescribable beautiful thing, and it was quite pleasant.

Seeing that three months had passed, Gu Zuo's homework progress had been completed on time, and the spiritual power of the twenty-seven spirit stones had entered the sea of qi, significantly increasing the thickness of his true yuan.

It's just a pity that half of them have dissipated, and there are only thirteen and a half pieces that can really be integrated into the sea of qi.

Winter is coming soon, Gu Zuo is still practicing without leaving home, his cultivation progress has been half completed, and the number of spirit stones he has absorbed has reached more than fifty, and his cultivation has gone further, and many of the moves in the Spirit Flying Sutra have suddenly been able to run as he wishes in places that he couldn't use before.
