Do not die

With the improvement of cultivation level, the original high efficiency of +10 progress every three days has dropped back to +3 every three days, that is, +1 progress every day.

And on the day when his cultivation level reached the ninth level of Qi training.

morning.

As Meng Zhou completed a rope knotting method in about forty seconds, his experience of tying hundreds of knots increased by 1, and he was promoted from a small level to a large level.

Rope Spirit has also gone one step further from "First Level 79/100" to "First Level 80/100".

Instantly, a strong sense of hunger spread into Meng Zhou's heart.

Meng Zhou immediately understood what was about to happen and immediately took out all the wood spiritual materials stored in the jade volute.

There are 151 copies of medium-grade wood spiritual materials and 25 copies of high-grade wood spiritual materials.

Meng Zhou had just taken out these spiritual materials and stacked them in the room. A thin rope had already shot out from his hand, winding through each piece of wood-type spiritual materials. It was frantically absorbing these many spiritual materials. The spirituality contained in the material.

Before the tail of the rope flew out of his sleeve, he flicked it gently and placed the jade volute on Meng Zhou's hand.

The intact wood spiritual materials turned into a pile of useless wood dust with the loss of spirituality. The crazy hunger accumulated since "First Level 40/100" was said to be slumbering to the extreme is gradually easing.

After the thirtieth portion of the middle-grade wood spiritual material was swallowed, Bai Ya's voice finally sounded in Meng Zhou's heart again.

"Uncle, I'm alive again."

Meng Zhou asked curiously in his heart: "Bai Ya, why did you sleep for so long this time?"

Bai Ya said: "Uncle, I actually woke up from hunger several times.

Especially when I was advancing from the mid-first level to the late first level, if I hadn't held back, I would have woken up from hunger. "

"When you wake up hungry, why do you endure so much hardship?" Meng Zhou said.

"I'm doing this to save you spiritual stones, uncle!" Bai Ya said.

"Save spiritual stones for me? How?" Meng Zhou asked doubtfully.

"If I can work hard and take one more step forward, I can save you a lot of spiritual material consumption..."

Following Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou also understood the meaning of her words.

Bai Ya has been sleeping since she was promoted to "First Level 40/100", and now she is not awakened by hunger until "First Level 80/100".

The first thing she has to make up for is the spiritual deficiency between "First Level 40/100" and "First Level 80/100". After making up for this part of the debt, she can continue to absorb the spiritual materials and charge higher.

Although both of them need spirituality from a large amount of wood-type spiritual materials as their qualifications, the latter's need for spirituality far exceeds that of the former.

The former is equivalent to an adult who is so hungry that he loses his shape and returns to a normal figure through a large amount of supplementary food.

The latter is equivalent to a minor who is so hungry that he loses his shape. The food he consumes is not only to help him return to a normal human form, but also to help him grow from a "minor" to an "adult".

The latter requires far more food than the former.

"..."

After listening to Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou felt a little inexplicable. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just when Meng Zhou was feeling emotional, all the first-level mid-grade spiritual materials had been drained of their essence by Bai Ya.

At this moment, she has continued to grow and sprint upward on the basis of "First Level 80/100".

When the first high-grade spiritual material was drained of its spirituality and essence was lost, Bai Ya's growth rate had reached "First Level 94/100".

By the time the fifteenth high-grade spiritual material was drained of its spirituality, Bai Ya's growth rate had reached the peak of the first level, "First Level 99/100".

But after that, no matter how much she drank five high-grade spiritual materials in a row, the data remained the same and never improved.

Just when Meng Zhou thought Bai Ya would go all out and suck up the remaining five first-grade high-grade spiritual materials, she stopped.

"Why don't you continue?" Meng Zhou asked curiously.

"No, it would be a waste to continue."

Speaking of this, Bai Ya said in his heart with regret:

"I originally wanted to use this momentum to break through the barrier from the first to the second level."

"But I suddenly realized just now that as it is now, there is no way I can get past this step!"

"What's the problem?" Meng Zhou asked hurriedly.

"The spiritual quality of these wood spiritual materials is not enough."

Bai Ya gave the answer directly and then gave an explanation:

"If my progress had always followed your uncle's progress as a knot master, this wouldn't have happened.

If you advance from the first level knot master to the second level knot master before me, then I can easily complete the breakthrough from the first level to the second level.

But the current situation is that my growth has far exceeded the progress of your knot master, and I can no longer get help from you.

In this case, if I want to complete the breakthrough from the first level to the second level, I can only use the spirituality of other second-level spiritual materials as a guide to build a ladder for me to ascend first. "

As early as halfway through Bai Ya's explanation, Meng Zhou roughly guessed what she wanted.

But when she made it clear and clear, Meng Zhou was still a little shocked.

"Yaya, are the first-level spiritual materials no longer enough to satisfy you?"

"If it really requires a second-level spiritual material, then uncle's suggestion is that you should wait first."

"When my level as a knot master improves, I'll let you just ride on me.

According to you, this won't cost you much at all, and you won't have to worry about it anymore. "

He was no longer anxious, but Bai Ya was anxious first and said hurriedly: "Uncle, no, please don't be too busy making decisions!"

"Are you worried that the price of second-level spiritual materials is too high and beyond your current affordability?"

"You don't have to worry about this at all, I have a solution!"

"Oh, how to solve it?" Meng Zhou was really curious about this.

"You don't need to buy second-level spiritual materials at high prices. You only need to find the second-level elixir magic weapons that have failed to be refined... Although I don't know how much they are worth, they must be more valuable than the complete second-level spiritual materials. Cheap."

In order to be promoted as soon as possible, Bai Ya worked hard and didn't even care about "junk food".

But after listening to her suggestion, Meng Zhou's eyes became dangerous. He stared at Bai Ya who was coquettishly moving between his fingers, and said slowly in his heart:

"Yaya, such a good idea, why didn't you tell me when I was in Nuanyun Valley before?"

The most indispensable thing in Nuanyun Valley is the elixirs and magic weapons that have failed to be refined. A large number of various spiritual herbs and elixirs are used in the elixirs.

Broadly speaking, these are all wood spiritual materials, and they all contain wood spirituality.

The reason why he has always excluded this from the selection range is because the various wood spiritual materials required for alchemy contain more value besides wood spiritual materials and weigh less. For him, this is not a good idea. Good deal, will not be considered.

Yaya quickly explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood. I was still young and could only eat refined food. If I eat junk food that is too spiritual, it will pollute my foundation!"

Meng Zhou didn't know how credible this reason was, but it sounded reasonable. Besides, he couldn't really do anything to Yaya. At most, he could only treat her lightly.

Just about to stop talking, Bai Ya suddenly changed the subject and said, "Uncle, you might as well help me think about it. In addition to the wood spirituality, which spirituality should I choose as my new foundation at the second level?"

"What do you mean?" Meng Zhouyi was stunned.

"Didn't I say it?" Bai Ya asked and immediately explained.

Meng Zhou quickly understood that the wood element was Sheng Ling Bai Ya's "innate talent". At the first level, she could only absorb the wood element's spirituality and continuously strengthen the foundation of the wood element.

But after she reaches the second level, in addition to the innate foundation of the wood element, she can choose another element as her second foundation as a new "innate talent."

This was really news that was completely unexpected by Meng Zhou. He had no intention of thinking about anything else and was only thinking about this matter.

Bai Ya also yawned at the right time and said to Meng Zhou:

"Uncle, I'm going to bed.

Now I don't have to wake up like before. If you gather enough materials, you can wake me up in time. "

"go Go."

…

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.

In addition to continuing to practice and practice knotting techniques, Meng Zhou also often wandered around Fang City. He also collected a lot of useful information and became more and more familiar with the situation in Qinglinfang.

On this day, it was almost evening, Meng Zhou was practicing knotting techniques in the house, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Meng Zhou opened the door and saw the shopkeeper Ruyiju Chen, whom he was already familiar with.

"Old Chen, what's the matter?" Meng Zhou asked.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said: "Isn't it the end of the year today? It is our rule at Ruyiju that every tonight, we invite guests to gather together and wait for the arrival of a new day."

Meng Zhou nodded and realized that today is the last day of the year.

Practitioners are generally slow to respond to time, and the changes in the four seasons in the hinterland of Qingxuan Territory are not obvious, so that Meng Zhou was not even aware of it.

However, after shopkeeper Chen explained it, Meng Zhou came to his senses.

Waiting for the arrival of a new day may sound a bit like keeping a New Year's Eve, but for practitioners, this is not a tradition.

But there has always been a saying that time is like water, and the four seasons flow and start again and again.

At the end of every year, it is the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.

At the end and the beginning, the world will be fine-tuned and reset like a watch, entering a new reincarnation with a new look.

The so-called one yuan restores the beginning, and everything is renewed.

It is said that if your cultivation is high enough and your perception is sharp enough, you can even feel the subtle changes in the aura of heaven and earth at this time.

This is the best time of the year to get a glimpse of the way of heaven.

So, faced with Shopkeeper Chen's invitation, Meng Zhou agreed without much hesitation.

Arriving in the spacious and elegant courtyard of Ruyiju, Meng Zhou found that there were already more than a dozen monks sitting around, and soon after he arrived, more people arrived one after another, and in the end there were more than thirty monks.

Only then did Meng Zhou realize that there were so many guests meditating in Ruyi, which was usually quiet and deserted.

Some monks met old acquaintances and sat together in twos and threes, chatting.

There are also many people like Meng Zhou who have no acquaintances and either listen to other people's gossip or sit quietly and look up at the sky.

No one feels embarrassed, they are all monks who have practiced all the way to the late stage of Qi training, so they still have this kind of psychological quality.

Everyone even had a rare moment of relaxation, feeling quite contented and quiet.

Meng Zhou focused his attention on his sharp five senses, but until Shopkeeper Chen reminded him that the old year was over and the new year had begun, he did not notice the so-called reset of heaven and earth.

Everything seems to be no different.

At this moment, Meng Zhou suddenly raised his head and looked at the northern sky.

To the north of Qinglinfang is the Qingxuanzong Mountain Gate, in the direction of Qinglin Peak.

With his keen eyesight, in the dim night, he could faintly see a series of black shadows moving in the sky, passing from the direction of Qinglin Peak, passing over Qinglinfang, and heading south.

When those dark shadows appeared in the sky above Qinglinfang, Meng Zhou was not the only one to notice the strange phenomenon.

The more than 30 late-stage qi-training monks beside Meng Zhou all turned into stupid geese, with their mouths open and their necks almost broken, watching the black shadows move in the sky.

When those dark figures disappeared, the quiet crowd suddenly exploded.

"spaceship!"

"Why did Qingxuanzong dispatch so many spaceships at this time?"

"What are they going to do?"

"I have been here for a long time, and I have never seen such a big movement in Qingxuan Sect. Have any of you seen it..."

"..."

In the crowd, Meng Zhou didn't speak in agreement, but he still couldn't help complaining in his heart: Qingxuanzong, what are you doing?
