It's time to eat.

Don't think that cultivating immortals doesn't need to eat, in fact, cultivators and mortals need to eat to supplement themselves, the difference is that mortals eat ordinary grains, meat, and vegetables to supplement themselves, while cultivators eat grains, spirit grass, or spirit beast meat rich in spiritual energy, collectively known as spirit valley or spirit beast meat, and then refine it in the body to supplement the aura needed for cultivation.

Especially for cultivators below the foundation building period, they still rely on these to improve themselves, and the time for cultivators to eat is also different from that of mortals, mortals eat three meals a day, while cultivators eat several meals a day, and eat a lot, as long as conditions permit, the more spiritual valleys there are, the more spiritual energy naturally they contain, the faster the cultivators will improve, of course, if it is a retreat and penance level, then the situation is different.

The place where the cultivators of the Five Immortal Gates eat is called Linggu Hall, and Linggu Hall is divided into an inner hall, an outer hall and a side hall.

Let's talk about it here, although the Five Elements Gate is divided into five sects, but that is for the disciples of the Qi refining period who are new to the Immortal Dao, the disciples of the Qi refining period of the five sects, regardless of which sect, are collectively referred to as the outer disciples, but when they cultivate to the foundation building period, there will be qualitative changes, and when they enter the inner gate and become the inner disciples, the treatment and status they enjoy will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

Because for cultivators, the foundation building period and the qi refining period are definitely an insurmountable hurdle, not only because of the difference in the required aura, but also because of the talent is a very important reason, according to statistics, among the about thirty outer disciples in the qi refining period, there will be one who will finally succeed in building the foundation, called the inner disciple.

Linggu Hall also has strict regulations in this regard, where the disciples who have reached the foundation building period, can dine in the inner hall, the environment in the inner hall is elegant, carved beams and paintings, spacious and bright, the food provided is also the most exquisite, all kinds of spirit birds and spirit beasts are complete, spirit fruits and vegetables are complete, and there are even some spirit fish and shrimp caught from the sea thousands of miles away, after the fairy kitchen carefully cooked for consumption, in a word, the treatment is quite good.

The disciples in the middle and late stages of the Qi refining period eat in the outer hall, and the food in the outer hall is far less rich than that in the inner hall, only the rice and white steamed noodles made of various spirit valleys, and there are some dishes cooked by simple spirit grass to eat, although the amount is limited, but the conditions are also good, among the Five Elements Sect, the number of disciples who have reached the middle and late stages of Qi refining is the largest, so the number of people who eat here is also the largest.

As for Zhang Xiaomai, a disciple who only has a junior level of qi refining, he is generally called a miscellaneous servant in the door, and he is arranged to eat in the side hall, there is no supply of various staple foods made of exquisite spirit valley here, only black flour steamed buns and brown rice, which is slightly added to the spirit valley to ensure the minimum demand for spiritual energy when cultivating, and the vegetables are also pickles pickled in the rhizomes of some low-level spirit grass.

It's really a bit unfair to say, a disciple like Zhang Xiaomai, although he works hard every day to plant the Spirit Valley, but he can't get much, and he eats the worst, the reason is actually very simple, the Five Elements Sect, this kind of cultivation sect, has limited resources, and the focus of the care in the door is those talented disciples, so naturally they will not waste too much resources on some ordinary outer disciples.

In a word, Zhang Xiaomai is in Wuxingmen, which is more tired than a donkey and worse than a pig.

Entering the side hall, Zhang Xiaomai found a place to sit down.

There was a sudden strange gaze around, some admiration, some suspicion, and some sympathy, and at the same time, some brothers exchanged heads and whispers.

"I heard that Senior Brother Zhang actually beat Senior Brother Bai Hao, is it true?"

"I saw with my own eyes that Bai Hao couldn't get up anymore, but he kept scolding him, isn't he who he is?"

I didn't expect things to spread so quickly, Zhang Xiaomai said secretly in his heart.

"This junior brother Zhang is really violent, he actually dares to beat Bai Hao!"

"Hmph, I don't know whether to live or die, who doesn't know Bai Hao's background. ”

"Bai Hao, this kid is always domineering, I really appreciate Senior Brother Zhang's approach, but, alas...... I'm afraid Senior Brother Zhang won't be able to stay in the Five Elements Gate in the future......"

Now that it has been spread, Zhang Xiaomai doesn't care about it in his heart, he will fight it, since he has fought, can he still regret it, give me another chance, I will do it.

At this time, a dark and fat disciple suddenly came to his side, and a familiar name immediately popped up in Zhang Xiaomai's memory.

"Second Senior Brother, why are you here?" asked Zhang Xiaomai.

The second senior brother's full name is Li Moran, and Zhang Xiaomai entered the Five Elements Gate in the same year, and he is also a disciple of Mushengzong, and Zhang Xiaomai is the same master Li Jinjiu, Li Jinjiu has accepted a total of five disciples, the senior sister Shangguan Yanran has entered the inner door, dedicated to cultivation, and rarely comes into contact with outsiders, the second senior brother is Li Moran, the third senior brother Tupan Master, Zhang Xiaomai ranks fourth, and there is the fifth senior sister Murong Xiaomiao below.

Li Moran is relatively dark, and there is an ink character in his name, so Zhang Xiaomai gave him a nickname called Heizi, because he was born poor before entering the Five Elements Gate, and Zhang Xiaomai has a common language, so he and Zhang Xiaomai have always gotten along well, and his talent for cultivating immortals is also higher than Zhang Xiaomai, and he is now the strength of the middle stage of qi refining.

Originally, because the second senior brother was in the middle stage of qi refining, he could already enter the outer hall to eat, but this time he unexpectedly came to the side hall, and even came to Zhang Xiaomai's side, which made Zhang Xiaomai feel a little strange.

"Senior brother, I heard that you beat Bai Hao?" The second senior brother came up and went straight to the point.

The two have a very good relationship in the door, and when they joke in private, Zhang Xiaomai called Li Mo Dye Heizi, and Li Moran called Zhang Xiaomai Maizi, which is a very rare situation in the Five Elements Gate.

"That's right, senior brother, Bai Hao was beaten by me. Zhang Xiaomai replied bluntly.

With the friendship between them, Zhang Xiaomai has no need to hide it.

"Damn, Maizi, you're so fierce!" Li Moran originally had some disbelief on his face, but immediately sighed after getting Zhang Xiaomai's confirmation.

"When did you do things so impulsively, eight out of ten of us outside the door looked at Bai Hao unpleasantly, and I also wanted to beat Bai Hao for a long time. ”

Li Moran frowned and said, "But I didn't do anything because of my strength in the middle stage of qi refining, that's why, isn't it because of his brother Bai Shan, and now you actually beat Bai Hao in the early stage of qi refining, I heard that the beating was not light, alas, I really don't know what to say about you." ”

"Didn't we say a long time ago, if we want to deal with him, we have to endure for a few years first, and then wait until we have all cultivated to the foundation building period and become inner disciples?"

"What if he has his brother, he can't help but beat him, I'm not afraid of him. Zhang Xiaomai said indifferently.

The second senior brother opened his mouth wide, "Maizi, this really doesn't look like your style of doing things!"

Zhang Xiaomai didn't know how to explain it, could he still say that his soul had crossed, and sighed and said, "Second senior brother, don't worry, I will do things by myself, and I will solve Bai Hao's affairs by myself, and I will never affect you." ”

"Damn, Xiaomai, what are you talking about, don't you treat me as a senior brother!" The second senior brother changed color, "How can I, Li Moran, watch you suffer alone, I came here this time to discuss with you a way to deal with Bai Shan, how could I leave you alone, if you say that again, don't blame me for turning my face with you." ”

Zhang Xiaomai's heart immediately rose a warmth, the entire Five Elements Gate, the outer disciples are innumerable, at this time, probably only the second senior brother is on his side, although he is not his own brother, but he treats himself as a younger brother.

"You weren't such an impulsive person before, I don't know what's going on lately, how you seem to have changed as a person, and you actually beat Bai Hao's kid so badly, it's really unexpected. ”

The second senior brother showed a gloating smile on his face, "But Maizi, there are many senior brothers who have wanted to beat Bai Hao for a long time, but they are afraid of his brother so they don't dare to make a move, this time you have done what many of our outer disciples want to do but dare not do, it's really relieving!"

"But Maizi, aren't you and Bai Hao both in the early stage of qi refining, how did you do it, it's really unthinkable!" In addition to the admiration, the second senior brother was surprised again.

Zhang Xiaomai smiled, and just wanted to say something, the fast-talking second senior brother interrupted him again, "But speaking of which, Maizi, your luck is not bad, although Bai Hao was beaten by you, but his brother Bai Shan can't take revenge on you immediately, because he is now in retreat and cultivation, and I heard that he is preparing for the promotion to enter the inner gate during the foundation building period, and it will take a month before he can get out of the customs, and you have a month's buffer time to prepare." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaomai was also a little surprised, but this result is now more favorable to himself, and he can use this month to cultivate well and improve his strength.

"I think you can use this month's time to win over some of the outer brothers who have a grudge against Bai Hao, form an alliance, and deal with that Baishan together, and I also have a few candidates, such as Senior Brother Yang of Tianshui Sect and Senior Brother Wang of Houtu Sect, they have all been bullied by Bai Hao, I will contact them and strive to let them join forces with you, but I don't know if they dare to help us." Li Moran came up with an idea.

Zhang Xiaomai's heart was moved, adversity saw the truth, the second senior brother is completely a posture of wanting to fight with himself, live and die together, he can have such a senior brother, it can really be said that he has not entered the Five Elements Gate in vain, but the more the second senior brother wants to share the hardships with him, the more he doesn't want to involve the other party.

"No, Kuroko, I want to solve this matter myself. Zhang Xiaomai said.

"What are you talking about, you are two levels behind Bai Shan, aren't you looking for death!" Li Moran frowned.

"I want to try it,......"

"It's not going to work!"

No matter what Zhang Xiaomai said, the second senior brother just refused to stand by and watch this matter, Zhang Xiaomai was moved, but he didn't know what to say, but although the second senior brother wanted to help himself, there was no good way to say it.

Sending the second senior brother away, Zhang Xiaomai has already made up his mind, no matter what, he must not let the second senior brother work hard for himself, and he must not be affected by his own affairs, even if he is expelled from the Five Elements Gate this time, he must also protect the future of the second senior brother in the Five Elements Gate.

After figuring out this section, Zhang Xiaomai has already let go in his heart, how about Baishan, how about the later stage of qi refining, it's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is flooding.

Since he was no longer worried in his heart, Zhang Xiaomaisuo let go of his belly to eat, wanted to deal with the Bai Hao brothers, and wanted to cultivate and improve himself, without the supplement of Linggu, it would definitely not work.

Spirit Valley, a large number of Spirit Valleys, which Qi refining period disciples' cultivation and promotion, aren't they all piled up by a large number of high-grade Spirit Valleys?

There are talented disciples in the sect, even if they are in the qi refining period, there are dozens of catties of spirit valley distributed in the door every day, and they can eat as much as they want, so that others can only look at the red-eyed, and when they cultivate, the speed is naturally much faster than that of ordinary disciples.

To put it in an exaggerated way, Linggu decides the fate of the outer disciples, with high talent, coupled with sufficient Linggu, the gap between them and miscellaneous disciples like Zhang Xiaomai is naturally getting bigger and bigger.

It's not that Zhang Xiaomai doesn't want to make up for this gap, but with his current situation, all he can get every day is the quota of the one pound of Linggu in the door, and it is really a difficult thing to get a large amount of Linggu, thinking of this, Zhang Xiaomai can't help but have a headache.

Picked up a black steamed bun from the dining table, Zhang Xiaomai flipped it in his hand and looked at it, to be honest, although it is also an aura steamed bun, but this steamed bun does not look very good, so that he who is used to seeing white noodles in his previous life feels that it is really difficult to swallow, although there is some aura in this black noodles, but it is really pitiful, almost negligible, but in order to cultivate, he still has to eat.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaomai was ruthless, stomped his feet, opened his mouth, and bit down on the black bun in his hand.

Boom, a huge shock came from his mouth, Zhang Xiaomai grinned for a while, and immediately covered his cheeks, it hurt so much, there was sand in it, just now, I almost didn't let the sand in it lose his teeth!

Annoyed, he grabbed the black bun and just wanted to throw it away and not eat it, but after thinking about it, if he didn't eat it, I was afraid that he would not have a chance to improve at all

It's better to endure it, it's all for the sake of cultivation.

Thinking that he was going to deal with the Bai brothers, Zhang Xiaomai still swallowed some water and swallowed the black-flour steamed buns......

Well, when his stomach finally felt full after an empty morning, Zhang Xiaomai let out a long breath.

"Ding!"

It's just that at this time, a crisp sound suddenly came from Zhang Xiaomai's ears.

"Congratulations on getting a fairy garden space rewarded by the system, would you like to go there immediately?"

What! Zhang Xiaomai almost spit out the black-flour steamed bun he had swallowed again.

Looking around, everyone was gobbling up, and no one was noticing their side at all, as if nothing had happened.

Could it be that I heard it wrong? But the voice in my ears was so real, it was like I was back in the game I had before I traveled back in time.

Subsequently, there seemed to be something more in the dantian of his body, Zhang Xiaomai hurriedly touched his body, there was nothing different from before, but he didn't know why, he just felt that there was something more in his body, although he didn't know what it was, but that feeling was extremely real.

The meal couldn't be eaten, Zhang Xiaomai took two steamed buns from the table, and immediately got up and walked towards his room, the brothers behind him came with strange eyes, Zhang Xiaomai couldn't care about it, a strange feeling spread from his body, so that his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

Suddenly, an idea became very urgent, he wanted to find a place where no one was there to check his body, and his intuition told him that something must have changed there, and this thought was so strong that as soon as he left the side hall of Linggu Hall, he ran on the road, and it didn't take long for him to return to his cave.

It's not so much a cave, it's a very simple cave, but fortunately, it won't leak wind and rain, and although it's not comfortable, it's okay to live in.

Since he only has the strength in the early stage of qi refining, the cultivation cave mansion that Zhang Xiaomai got is very ordinary, and there is nothing rich in aura in it, which cannot be compared with the disciples in the foundation building period, and the cave mansions of the disciples in the foundation building period are mostly built in places with abundant spiritual energy, which is more convenient for cultivation.

In order to prevent someone from sneaking in, Zhang Xiaomai set up a simple spell ban at the door of the cave, these low-level prohibitions have no great lethality, but if they are touched, the movement is very large, and it is easy to be discovered by the people around him, it is not that he doesn't want to make it better, but he doesn't have that condition, you know, high-level talismans are very money-burning things.

The whole cave is dilapidated and gloomy, only some simple furniture and furnishings, spiritual treasures or something, Zhang Xiaoxiang only covets others, and he, a little disciple of the outer door, has always been poor.

An old fire candle talisman was pasted on the top of the cave, it was already covered with dust, dilapidated, and even missing a corner, barely emitting a faint light, which could only allow Zhang Xiaomai to roughly see everything around him, if it weren't for the basic treatment that was regularly distributed in the door, he would have even had a problem with lighting here.

Zhang Xiaomai felt that he was a poor peasant among the cultivators, and he couldn't eat enough all day long, and he didn't even have a few things at home.

But these are not the things he wants to sigh about now, what he cares about now is the changes in his body.

As soon as he returned to the cave, Zhang Xiaomai immediately closed the door of the mansion, from the sound just now, Zhang Xiaomai always felt that something would happen to him, as time went by, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and now, Zhang Xiaomai felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Just then, the voice rang out again.

"May I ask if you want to go to the fairy garden space?" Zhang Xiaomai's ears sounded again in the familiar voice of the online game NPC before the crossing, making him finally sure that everything he heard was true.

"Yes. Zhang Xiaomai nodded involuntarily.

At this moment, I don't know why, Zhang Xiaomai's mouth opened slightly, his energy was unprecedentedly concentrated, and even his breathing began to become a little short.

Soon, a different scene appeared in front of him.
