Chapter Thirty-Nine: I Cook Myself
Perception ability is a very mysterious ability, and the strength depends on soul power, but most people don't even know what soul power is, and Ning Qingru only vaguely knows that there is such a saying.
Chen Changsheng has always asked Ning Qingru to pay attention to improving his perception, in fact, it should be to let him hone his soul power.
According to Chen Changsheng, sword practice is sword practice, but if the perception ability is not enough to support the sword, it will be too bad, and he has been bewitching Ning Qingrudao, thinking about the thousands of miles of flying swords without staying, killing people and brushing away, is this kind of realm very exciting, when the time comes, you can kill whoever you want, no one is just a sword thing, isn't it happy?
It's just that Ning Qingru also has some knowledge, and with qi to control things, the monks of the Twelve Realms can do it, but this kind of thing like a thousand miles flying sword is not just the roughness of qi to control things, it should also be mixed with the perception of the ancients to do it, just by virtue of this, I am afraid that it can only be done by an immortal who has to be serious, anyway, Ning Qingru feels that at least his cheap master can't do this.
That is, he didn't refute Chen Changsheng, this little old man has a strange temperament, he doesn't want to make a fuss, it's too troublesome.
Ning Qingru carefully sensed the limestone wood.
To be honest, the limestone wood was too tight for his perception to penetrate at all, and could only flow superficially on the surface.
Fortunately, a large hole was cut out before him, which made his perception much easier.
He quickly found the pattern.
Then he used all his strength to pull out the axe that had been clamped, and it was a pity that the new axe that he had taken out was already missing a large piece of the blade, like a flawless beauty opening her mouth, and people were stunned to find that she was missing a front tooth, which was really a little abrupt.
Fortunately, Ning Qingru didn't care about these small defects, and according to the lines in his perception, the axe slashed down fiercely.
The limestone wood was split in half.
However, Ning Qingru couldn't bear it anymore, put down the axe, lost some strength, and sat directly on the ground, gasping for breath.
Just now, it was undoubtedly an axe that had reached the peak of his spirit, and he even thought that it was a piece of iron, and in his state just now, he might be able to cut it open.
In fact, he had made a major breakthrough, and the gray rock wood was about to split.
The only difficulty is that his body is a little unbearable now, the force he uses is large, and the shock he receives is naturally great, the moment the axe touches the gray rock wood, Ning Qingru almost didn't even hold the handle of the axe, he spent a lot of effort to hold the axe steady, but the price is that his arms were almost shocked and unconscious.
In addition to his arms, in fact, the backlash also hurt other parts of his body, especially his chest, and he felt stuffy.
After resting for a long time, Ning Qingru eased up, and when he unconsciously glanced at the limestone wood, he unexpectedly found that there was even a shallow pit on the ground, stone chips were scattered, and the floor around the limestone wood even had fine, strangely like spider webs.
He was stunned for a moment, the material of the floor on this floor is known as one of the hardest stones, but he didn't expect it to shatter just now.
He can naturally achieve such an effect by directly smashing the ground with an axe, but after absorbing some of the power through the limestone wood, it can also shatter the floor, which is terrifying.
After moving his muscles and bones, his whole body clicked, and his arms were still a little numb, but Ning Qingru still planned to continue.
After chopping firewood, half a day has passed.
Limestone wood is actually very resistant to burning, so it can't be used too much, but Chen Changsheng asked Ning Qingru to split tomorrow's amount, and he had no choice but to do it according to the cheap master's requirements.
After that, it is time to draw water, add medicine, and refine the body.
Ning Qingru didn't rush to the next step, put the firewood in the stove, and didn't light the fire, so he sat down with his knees crossed nearby and meditated to recover.
Fetching water is easier than chopping wood, but it's definitely not an easy job.
Except for the first day, when Chen Changsheng made a demonstration to make Ning Qingru lazy, he has always been "self-sufficient" in the following days.
At noon, a ninth-level student brought food over, the senior was very strong, wearing a dirty undershirt, full of scorched black and yellow places, even the hand that handed over the food was black and sloppy, which made Ning Qingru feel frightened, and he didn't know if he dared to eat the food he sent.
However, Chen Changsheng didn't have such worries as him, he ate generously, and after eating, he lay down on the rocking chair and dozed off, Ning Qingru watched his smooth movements, and finally because his stomach was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he silently recited the eight-character mantra of "If you don't eat cleanly, you won't get sick", and forced yourself to eat.
After eating, Ning Qingru's state was much better, so he started the next step, fetching water.
Since you want to soak in a medicinal bath, you naturally have to have water.
The medicine pod is very large, so the demand for water is also great, but what makes Ning Qingru sad is that if you want to fetch water, you have to go far and go to another corner of the academy to fetch water.
There is a river passing there, it is said to be the Huai River, but it is too narrow and shallow, Ning Qingru has seen it, and thinks that the river of the academy is not as good as the river at the door of his house, so he has to pull the two rivers together, and he thinks that this small river is a tributary of the Huai River.
There are many students who use water to get water from its location, and Ning Qingru is not special.
Of course, Ning Qingru once slandered these guys for being mentally retarded, since there is river water, it means that water can be produced by digging a well casually, but I don't know why, but no one drilled a well.
It's all brainless, especially after Ning Qingru was scolded by Chen Changsheng for planning to make a big well in Chen Changsheng's yard.
Every time he went out with two large buckets to fetch water, he imagined that it would be great if there was a well.
But it's just a fantasy.
It is not difficult to carry water, but it is difficult to pour water into the medicine pot.
Every time he carried a bucket up the ladder and listened to the creaking and sore bamboo ladder "moaning", Ning Qingru would worry that the bamboo ladder would not be able to withstand it and crack all of a sudden, so wouldn't he fall and couldn't get out of bed for half a month?
Fortunately, the ladder was still strong for some reason.
This step is more like testing his mental endurance......
The water in the medicine pod was slowly almost over, Ning Qingru began to light a fire, this kind of firewood not only burns for a long time, but the temperature is not high, this is a very strange thing, in this regard, Ning Qingru didn't think much about it, and he didn't bother to know too much, it was bad enough to cook himself in a pot every day, and he really didn't have any other energy to worry about.
After lighting the firewood, Ning Qingru took out a large number of bottles and cans from the storage room, these are all medicinal materials for medicinal baths, Chen Changsheng told him before how to put these things, how much to put in each one, worried that he would not remember and repeatedly nagged several times.
Ning Qingru now knew with his eyes closed how to put the contents of these bottles and cans.
The first one to open was a big jar, as soon as it was opened, a foul smell came to his nose, when Ning Qingru smelled this smell for the first time, he almost vomited all the overnight meals, and now that he was prepared, he held his breath in advance.
He quickly took out an irregular round object with mucus draining with tweezers, threw it into the medicine pod, and then quickly covered the jar.
"Whew......." he let out a sigh of relief.
Inside the medicine pod, after the thing came into contact with the water, it suddenly burst, and the yellow, yellow, green, and green juice spread out in the water one by one.
Ning Qingru saw a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, he didn't know what this amber bear bile did, it was smelly and disgusting, according to the pharmacological theory he knew, this thing was more toxic than medicinal.
However, he could only honestly follow Chen Changsheng's medicine list.
After all, he has studied this medicine list for a long time and has not studied it, why according to these amounts, these orders can be used to refine the medicine liquid to strengthen the body, although he understands some pharmacology, but just getting started, he is not qualified to question whether this is a problem in his opinion.
The second flavor medicine is the ground powder, this powder is pale pink, a little spicy, Ning Qingru once tried to taste a little, and immediately the whole person fell straight to the ground, soft as mud. Fortunately, he regained consciousness in less than a quarter of an hour, and after that he no longer dared to test the medicine indiscriminately.
This medicine powder only needed one spoonful, and after the bile in the medicine pod was completely dizzy, Ning Qingru sprinkled it in.
There is no half-difference, like mud into the sea.
didn't dare to stay, Ning Qingru took out the third flavor medicine, this is a small bottle, which contains liquid medicine, there are many liquid medicines in all the bottles and jars, most of them give him the feeling that there is no same, but this bottle is the most different, Ning Qingru dropped a drop of this golden liquid medicine into the medicine pod.
The next moment, the water in the medicine pod suddenly steamed, and the mist rose everywhere, boiling endlessly, and it lasted for a quarter of an hour before it quieted down.
The next medicine didn't move much, Ning Qingru put them one by one according to the amount, in order, and at the end, the water in the medicine tripod had turned pale cyan, and as the temperature rose, it continued to emit bursts of fragrance.
Ning Qingru cleaned up a large pile of bottles and cans, and then took off naked, climbed up the medicine tripod along the ladder, and then lifted his qi and lightened his body, along the wall of the tripod, and slid into the medicine liquid.
"Shhh.......hhh Ah.......h
At the beginning, an extremely comfortable feeling surged into Ning Qingru's heart, he couldn't help but moan, letting himself float on the surface of the potion, this situation, he suddenly felt funny, he seemed to be no different from those boiled chickens, ducks and fish? Haha?
It's a little funny to think that I came early in the morning to chop wood, fetch water, take medicine, and work so hard until now, it's all afternoon, and then I have to honestly jump into the "pot" to be cooked.
"Is this what I cook myself?"
Ning Qingru thought like this in the midst of suffering.
