Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou immediately replied, "Master, as you know, I am a servant of Huang Batian's family, and I'm afraid Huang Batian will find fault with me."

Zhu Daqiang thought it was something important, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, patting Li Ergou on the shoulder and saying, "I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry about this. I will naturally go and talk to him. But if you have free time, it's best not to do the job of feeding the boxers as well.

Hey, you are an indispensable talent. The martial arts gym can't be without someone like you to hold the fort. Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Li Ergou nodded, feeling amused in his heart. He felt like these people just loved to draw big cakes, promising not to treat him unfairly, but not giving him any actual benefits.

Although he felt helpless inside, he still had to greet them with a smile. Fortunately, Zhu Daqiang didn't mention the black cat matter again, which made him feel much more at ease.

Arriving at the pharmacy to brew the medicine, the first thing he did was to copy all the medicine. Then, he would take out his own medicine pot and brew two pots of medicine at the same time.

This pharmacy was an important place, and no one was allowed to enter without permission. Even Zhu Daqiang rarely came here, so it was his private territory, very safe.

Even if someone wanted to come in, he wasn't afraid. He could just put the things away into the bronze mirror.

It was very quiet here, also a good place for cultivation.

At this moment, Li Ergou sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the martial arts cultivation method that Zhuang Xiaoyao had taught him, using the natal fire in his dantian to refine the power of innate vitality.

This cultivation method was very good. He could feel that, under his will, the innate vitality inside his five organs was being pulled out.

After being refined on the natal fire, it would run into the Governor Vessel, and then come to the Conception Vessel.

However, the speed of operation was very slow, taking a full hour to circulate around the Lesser Heavenly Cycle once.

What excited him was that he clearly felt his martial arts true energy had increased a little, although not much, it was still growing.

The innate vitality in the five organs was consumed after only running for two cycles. Although this substance could be produced continuously, relying solely on its own production was very slow, and it would take a long time to fully replenish it.

So he also practiced the strange postures that Zhuang Xiaoyao taught him, such as the golden rooster standing on one leg, the old ox kicking, and the little horse crossing the river—what strange names, and the postures were also very awkward.

What was strange was that as soon as he struck such a posture, innate vitality would be rapidly produced within his five organs, but this speed was still very slow for Li Ergou.

He couldn't help but think of pills. He still had some Cultivation and Foundation Pills. He wondered if this technique could directly absorb them.

Just as he was about to swallow the pills, he suddenly remembered what Big White Elephant had said—although it would waste some of the medicinal power of the pills, it wouldn't make people suffer too much.

With this thought, he took out a large bowl, filled it with water, and threw the pills in.

The pills dissolved quickly upon contact with water, instantly turning the clear water into a milky white color, somewhat similar to goat's milk.

He immediately picked it up and took a big gulp, instantly feeling a very powerful gas flowing through his body. He didn't dare to be careless and immediately began to cultivate, using the natal fire in his dantian to refine this powerful aura.

A day later, Li Ergou was overjoyed. Refining the medicinal power with the technique was much stronger than using the method of being beaten by the body to consume it. One pill actually made him produce a strand of martial arts true energy.

What frustrated him was that he clearly felt that he had refined all the medicinal power, but the true energy produced was still relatively small. Perhaps what Qianqian said was right—his aptitude was really too poor. Others might be able to produce five strands of true energy with one pill, while he could only refine one strand of martial arts true energy.

In this way, he would need several times more resources than others.

Although he felt a little annoyed in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

At least he still had hope, and he also had the ultimate treasure, the bronze mirror. He was still full of hope for this.

The next morning, after he finished everything, he came to the training ground and saw that there were actually two more feeding boxers. These two guys were not very old, but they looked taller than him.

Unfortunately, they were not very resistant to beatings. After a few blows, the boxers made them spit blood and faint. Then the boxers would sneer a few times and swagger away, wiping their noses.

Li Ergou sighed in his heart, also helpless. He used to be several times more miserable than these guys, but they were not as resistant to beatings as he was. He didn't know if they could survive.

In the Liu family's courtyard, Huang Batian stood in front of Liu Teng, with a look of humility, because he knew that the person in front of him would be his backer in the future, especially after this matter was completed. He would be fully integrated into Liu Teng's team, and their Huang family would no longer be a bumpkin landlord.

He, Huang Batian, would also create another world for the family.

Just as he was full of ambition, Liu Teng, who was sitting on the rattan chair with a gloomy face, finally opened his mouth and said, "How is your arrangement? Tonight is the 'Heavenly Dog Eats the Moon', we can take this opportunity to get rid of that guy.

I really can't wait. Every day I see him and Zhuzhu together, I feel like I have a green hat on my head.

Damn guy, I'm about to be driven crazy by them."

Huang Batian sneered inwardly at the 'green hat dog', and then said with a flattering smile, "Young Master, everything has been arranged properly. This time, I and Liu Lin planned together. As long as Li Ergou shows up, he will surely die. The plan is like this…"

He immediately began to talk eloquently. Liu Teng listened to his plan, frowning and nodding. When the plan was finally finished.

A satisfied look flashed in his eyes and said, "Good, if this matter is done well, you will be my, Liu Teng's, little brother in the future. With our Liu family here, we guarantee that your Huang family will have a meteoric rise in the future."

Huang Batian was waiting for this sentence. At this moment, he couldn't help but think, Li Ergou, ah, Li Ergou, you are the stepping stone for my Huang family to reach the top. It's just right to fulfill me with your dog life. As a dog of our Huang family, you don't die unjustly.

In the school, Li Zheng'an looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "Tonight is the 'Heavenly Dog Eats the Moon', which happens once every three hundred years. At that time, there may be many strange things happening in the town, which may be very chaotic and dangerous. You must remember to stay at home and not walk around randomly. If you have time, tell Li Ergou about this, so that he doesn't encounter any danger."

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, "Okay, sir, I will go and tell him now."

Zhuang Xiaoyao handed the girl a meat bun, and said softly, "Girl, after tonight, I will take you away from here and go to a bigger city, okay?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but say, "Uncle Crazy, will there be big meat buns to eat every day?"

Zhuang Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Definitely, not only are there big meat buns, but also a lot of good food that you can't finish."

The girl immediately nodded happily and said, "That's good, I'll go with Uncle Crazy." As she spoke, she opened her mouth wide and took a bite of the meat bun, with oil dripping down.

In a Buddhist hall, a monk finally put down his wooden fish. He stood up, came outside, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and raised his head and said, "Alas, what should come will eventually come. I just don't know how lively it will be tonight. Amitabha, good, good."

In a courtyard of the Liu family, Qianqian looked at Zhuzhu and said, "Miss, you have played well these days, and you have eaten well. Tonight is the day of the 'Heavenly Dog Eating the Moon'. It all depends on your opportunity."
