Su Han was stunned for a moment, but then took a step back and bowed his head to Li Ping, "Do you still want Steward Li to say clearly?"

Li Ping glanced at Tian Kui's house, and then said: "Uncle has accepted three disciples, and each disciple served as the steward of the firewood room on the mountain before he successfully built the foundation, but do you think that in such a big place on the mountain, you can't build a firewood room next to this dining room?

Su Han nodded, thoughtful.

Li Ping turned around and walked towards the dining room, and Su Han immediately said, "Steward Li!"

"What else?" Li Ping asked, turning around.

Su Han asked, "Haven't you finished your words?"

"That's all I have to say, it's up to you how much you understand. Li Ping said, turned around and entered the courtyard gate.

Su Han was stunned, and then shook his head, this Li Ping is not a bad person, but sometimes weird.

He went down the mountain, returned to the house, took a shower, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, and thought about what had happened in the past two days.

"The last thing Li Ping and I said, in fact, Master has already told me, is that monks should not only cultivate their bodies, but also cultivate their minds, and cultivation is cultivation, and walking to eat, chopping firewood and transporting firewood are also cultivation. Su Han read a lot in his early years, and it was easy to understand some truths when he thought about them, but he said to himself with a wry smile: "But it's easy to know this truth, and it's easy to really understand these truths!"

In the next few days, Su Han had a regular routine every day, every morning, he first sent a few bundles of firewood and grass to the dining room, and then went down the mountain to chop firewood, and then in the following time, except for the other two times to deliver firewood and grass to the dining room, Su Han sat quietly in the house and practiced.

However, Su Han soon discovered a very strict problem - that is, the speed of cultivation was too slow.

Previously, he successively obtained the "Great Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" and "Earth Yuan Gong", although the two are not a perfect fit, but their combination,

But it made Su Han's cultivation speed greatly improved, originally when he was practicing the "Great Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique", Su Han himself estimated that the cultivation speed was not much worse than those people with red spirit roots, and after he started to cultivate "Earth Yuan Gong", this speed even increased.

He didn't compare, but every day he went to the dining room to deliver firewood and grass, and when he saw the cultivation of those disciples who entered the mountain at the same time, he knew a little bit in his heart.

But now, after stepping into the Qi refining period, Su Han's cultivation speed has dropped greatly, and for a few days, there is no sign of even a little progress in his cultivation, even if he arrives at the place where the Five Elements Spiritual Qi gathers the most on the bank of the Tongtian River, it is the same.

On this day, Su Han, as usual, carried four bundles of firewood and grass, and when he arrived outside the dining room, when he was moving firewood and grass down, Ergou said on the side: "Brother Su, I heard that you have reached the Qi refining period?"

Su Han smiled and nodded.

Ergou said: "Huh, then why are you still on the mountain all day long when you reach the Qi refining period? I think you seem to be in the firewood room all day except for chopping firewood in the morning." ”

Su Han was stunned, "What's the problem?"

Ergou was taken aback, "You don't even know?"

"What do you know?" Su Han was even more strange.

Ergou couldn't laugh and said: "When it comes to the Qi refining period, you have to hurry up and get the spirit stone, the Qi refining period is not comparable to the realm of martial artists, between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy is insufficient, and it is impossible to cultivate and advance by relying on your own absorption of spiritual energy." ”

"Is this true?" Su Han didn't know why Tian Kui didn't tell him, but he knew that he must have been delayed for several days.

Ergou nodded, he pulled Su Han to the inner courtyard and sat down, at this time Su Han saw Li Ping looking this way in the outer courtyard, but he didn't say anything, and continued to busy her.

"Of course, Brother Su, didn't you worship Foreman Tian as a teacher, he ......" Ergou glanced at Li Ping, who was busy outside, and some words about Tian Kui suddenly came to an abrupt end, but Su Han saw that in Ergou's eyes, Tian Kui, the master, was very unreliable. ...,

Ergou coughed lightly, and then continued: "Let's order the rules of the Cang Sect, and when the outer disciples reach the Qi refining period, they can go to the Gupingfeng Materia Medica Pavilion to get a copy of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", which teaches us to understand medicinal herbs, and in the future, this book is absolutely indispensable." I heard people say that there are several ways for our helpless disciples to get spirit stones, one is a sect task, do a sect task, get a sect contribution, and then you can go to Guping Peak to exchange huàn pills and spirit stones. However, this sect task, the cycle is long and difficult, basically it is necessary to leave the mountain, a small disciple in the Qi refining period, it will take ten days and half a month to get out of the mountain, with that kung fu, the latter two methods can also earn some spirit stones. ”

Su Han hurriedly asked, "What about the other methods?"

"There is another one, that is, relying on the "Compendium of Materia Medica", to go to the mountains to collect medicine, but the point of Cangshan is not big, said that it is not small, I point to the disciples of the Cang faction and so many people, there must be no natural treasures, but some ordinary herbs, should still be able to dig some, often a ten-year herb, can be exchanged for a hundred and eighty spirit stones, but that also depends on luck, bad luck, a month or two to dig a few rotten herbs are not a few. ”

Su Han listened attentively, and Ergou's eyebrows became more and more colorful, "There is another way, which is to mine." ”

"Mining?" Su Han was stunned for a moment, the first two were easy to understand, but this one was a little unbelievable.

Ergou nodded, "It is mining, there are many mineral deposits in Diancang Mountain, but most of them, most of the mineral deposits have already been excavated, only a part of the surplus, on the one hand, among those surpluses, there are too many impurities, and the effort required for excavation is not small. ”

Su Han's heart moved, although this mining, although it seems that the income will not be very large, but it is the safest way to harvest spars at present, he asked some questions in detail, but Ergou is only an eighth-layer martial artist now, and the information he said to Su Han is also hearsay.

Seeing that Su Han's question couldn't be answered, Ergou was also a little anxious, he got up and said, "Brother Su, you wait, I'll go and ask you." ”

"Hey, no. Su Han pulled the second dog and asked him to sit down again, "Thank you." ”

Ergou scratched his head and said with a smile: "What is there to thank, people here are not willing to be friends with me, except for Li Ping, I will say a few words to you." ”

According to Su Han's temperament, after asking about the matter, he was about to get up and leave, but then he couldn't help asking, "How long have you been here?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Han felt a little regretful, his current cultivation was already slow, and he couldn't delay a single minute of time.

Ergou was a little flattered and said, "Count it, it should be, it should be three or four years." ”

"What kind of spiritual root?" Su Han asked again.

"Grey Spirit Root. Ergou smiled bitterly, and said in a voice two points lower.

Su Han patted Ergou's shoulder, "What's wrong with the Gray Spirit Root, I am the Gray Spirit Root, and now I have successfully reached the Qi Refining Period, you will definitely be able to!"

When Ergou heard this, there were almost tears flashing in his eyes, one of the most painful things for a person is that no one is sure, Su Han's encouragement at this time made Ergou feel like a confidant to Su Han for a moment.

Su Han patted Ergou on the shoulder, stood up, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

"Now, you should go and get the Compendium of Materia Medica. Su Han thought in his heart, and when he got out of the dining room, he walked towards the mountain.
