Chapter 20: Greed Causes Trouble

Chen Yu opened his eyes, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he was quite satisfied with the cultivation progress of this set of formulas. Since it took him half a month to get his first glimpse of the door, he thought that he would not have much success in the cultivation of this set of mantras, but now he has broken through the third layer.

And now it's only been two months since Kai Lao's test.

For the test that day, Chen Yu still had palpitations. After all, for him at this time, he has no skills, and he can only wait for death in this strange world.

Fortunately, the mantra given by Hai Lao suited him, and he and Wang Mu were able to stay, and I have to say that there were some lucks. If he had chosen one of the other three sets of formulas given by Han Yuanxing that day, it would be unknown where he and Wang Mu would be now.

Thinking of Wang Mu, Chen Yu grinned. Since Hai Lao said that he would teach Wang Mu another set of peerless martial arts, Wang Mu went out every morning and returned with injuries at night.

Chen Yu, who really couldn't stand it, gave the rest of the Imperial Spirit Scatter given by Hai Lao to Wang Mu, and even the one given by Zhang Fat Man was used up by Wang Mu, thinking about Wang Mu's pitiful expression yesterday, Chen Yu felt funny.

Sometimes, Chen Yu would also try to use some common medicinal materials, according to the recipe of Hai Lao's medical book, to prepare some bruising medicine for Wang Mu, and Wang Mu, who didn't know anything about it, looked envious.

Yesterday, Wang Mu made a special trip to beg Chen Yu to prepare some more medicine for him, and chatted with him by the way. However, he often complains that Chen Yu is too lucky, and he can only suffer every day.

......

I don't know what the books given by my father-in-law are, and why they are repeatedly emphasized that they are very important and even lead to death, but Hai Lao casually handed them to him and Wang Mu...... "I don't think about Wang Mu anymore, Chen Yu, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yu couldn't figure it out, so he left it behind and stopped thinking about it.

Now Chen Yu's appetite has soared, and he has to eat two large bowls of rice for each meal, not counting other steamed buns, vegetables and meat. Hai Lao was a little surprised by this, and did not blame Chen Yu for this, but ordered the kitchen to increase Chen Yu's food supply.

Since that day's test, when Hai Lao often looked at Chen Yu, his eyes were not only the master's satisfaction and expectation for his apprentice, but also a trace of jealousy and envy, as well as a feeling that Chen Yu could not describe. This made Chen Yu feel like estrangement when he had respect for Hai Lao.

"I hope it's my own delusion. Chen Yu couldn't help but think so.

For Chen Yu, if Hai Lao is a good master, he doesn't mind being a filial apprentice, and even sending him to the end of his old age. But if he had other thoughts, it was no wonder that he was not to blame.

At this time, Chen Yu suddenly found that he seemed to have become less loyal and honest, or that his hidden sense of self-protection had increased, and he wanted to survive in this world even more.

"Is it the influence of this mantra?"

Chen Yu felt that this set of mantras for cultivation was simply chicken ribs. There is nothing outstanding other than an increase in the amount of food eaten each day.

Neither can he stand on the cliff like other senior brothers and still walk on the ground, nor can he take off into the air to fight the enemy like Han Yuanxing. Even Wang Mu at this time had become infinitely powerful, if it weren't for Hai Lao's requirement for him to cultivate every day, Chen Yu would have given up a long time ago.

Chen Yu felt that he was a little ungrateful and sorry for Hai Lao, after all, in the past two months, Hai Lao had used the herbs of the previous year to soak him in a medicinal herb bath, and even today's breakthrough was due to the medicine provided by Hai Lao. And he was still suspicious of Hai Lao like that before, Chen Yu felt a trace of guilt in his heart, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

......

"Huh, why are there mosquitoes in this world?"

Chen Yu, who was in a daze, was interrupted by the sound of mosquitoes in his ears, and he looked left and right, but there was not a single mosquito.

Chen Yu looked carefully again, and saw a spider in the corner of the roof slowly walking towards a mosquito in the web. I saw that the mosquito was swinging its wings from side to side, buzzing constantly trying to escape, which was the sound that came into Chen Yu's ears.

Chen Yu's mouth opened wide in surprise, how could such a distance seem to be in his ears.

"Could it be ?...." Chen Yu settled down, no longer thinking about it, but concentrating on the formula. He heard the sound of ants digging holes outside the house, and the rustling of a bug biting leaves in the distance.

He also smelled the feces of the bug, Chen Yu pursed his lips and frowned, slandering that the bug was immoral and defecated everywhere.

Chen Yu tried to run the mantra to the extreme, and the distance he could feel could reach about ten zhang outside the house.

Chen Yu stopped running the mantra and rubbed his nose. When I broke through the third layer just now, I was only happy and didn't notice this.

Now unexpectedly, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually thickened, and he couldn't help but laugh twice. I was afraid that I would be frightened by the old people not far away, so I covered my mouth and snickered.

It seems that this set of nameless mantras is not as bad as imagined, the third layer has such an effect, I don't know what will be waiting for him on the fourth layer, Chen Yu can't help but look forward to it.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu sat cross-legged again and ran the exercises according to the mantra. The energy in the dantian has become a lot larger, it is already as thick as a little thumb, and it is also longer. And when it was running in his body, Chen Yu obviously felt that it had changed from one at the beginning to three. Maybe there will be another one when he breaks through the fourth layer, Chen Yu couldn't help but think so, and then he calmed down and continued to run the mantra seriously.

.....

Chen Yu ran the mantra again and again, feeling the refreshing feeling brought by the circulation of the three energies in his body, and completely forgot about himself.

Chen Yu felt that his meridians had a feeling of swelling, and he started cultivating again for a week, and Chen Yu planned to rest completely after running this mantra. If he forcibly cultivated again, he might be as miserable as before, and he would never want to bear the feeling of being gnawed by ten thousand ants anymore.

"Ah......" The mantra was halfway through, Chen Yu suddenly stopped, turned over and fell. He rolled on the ground with his body in his arms and screamed in pain.

Hearing the sound, Hai Lao not far away, walked like flying, rushed over, and the state of swaying in the past no longer existed. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chen Yu, who was covered in dust and had messy hair, rolling on the ground, and rushed over after taking three steps and two steps.

Hai Lao's expression was focused, his right arm flicked continuously, a glimmer of light flashed between his fingers again and again, and one after another silver needles pierced into Chen Yu's eight veins, turning Chen Yu into a hedgehog.

Hai Lao wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped, waiting for Chen Yu, who had already fainted in pain.

......

After a cup of tea, Chen Yu woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes and looked at Hai Lao, who was still panting and sweating profusely, the corners of Chen Yu's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Ebi..... ..... hiss" Chen Yu opened his mouth and shouted, but the pain all over his body made him gasp, and he couldn't say a word again.

"Don't talk yet. Wait for me here first, and I'll go back as soon as I go. Hai Lao waved his hand, signaled Chen Yu to stop talking, and then got up and went out.

After a while, Hai Lao took a large pile of precious herbs from the previous year, and his face was reluctant and distressed, but he began to deal with it as if he had made a big decision.

During this period, several Tsing Yi disciples came in with several large buckets full of hot water, poured them into the bath bucket that Chen Yu commonly used, and then carefully carried Chen Yu into the bath bucket according to Hai Lao's instructions and left.

"Originally, this batch of herbs was meant to be given to you later. Alas...... "Hai Lao seemed to be a little older and sighed. Then pour all the processed herbs into the tub.

Chen Yu opened his mouth and never spoke.

"Rest in peace, I'll change your dressing when the time comes." Don't worry, it's just that the meridians are damaged due to excessive luck, but fortunately, it's not the tendons and veins that are destroyed, otherwise I won't be able to return to the sky. Don't force your luck in the future, and blame me, I shouldn't have forced you to be so tight. After Hai Lao finished speaking, he left.

What Chen Yu didn't know was that because he just broke through today, his muscles and veins were still relatively fragile after expansion, if he took care of it, it wouldn't happen in two more days.

Fortunately, when he broke through the third layer, he could bear more energy in his body, so that the worst thing would not happen, of course, these were things he would only know later.

......

Chen Yu soaked for two days and two nights, during which Hai Lao came a total of six times, and every time he changed Chen Yu's dressing, he was reluctant and painful. That was his decades of hard work, all of which were spent on Chen Yu, and Chen Yu could only keep his gratitude in his heart.

And in the past two days, Hai Lao didn't care about Wang Mu, but let Chen Yu have a companion who could accompany and chat. Just when the last batch of medicinal materials was completely used up, Chen Yu finally recovered, and Hai Lao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
