Taoist Huang Ting

"Very good!"

"Brother, you are so kind!"

Seeing that his elder brother was not joking, Lu Qingyu excitedly kissed Lu Qingfeng on the face, then jumped up and down, obviously very happy.

Maybe what she was thinking at the moment was not that complicated.

I just want to be able to practice like my eldest brother and second brother. No other girls in Heimuzhai can practice, and after practicing, I can go to Huangzhishan to rescue my second brother——

Just this was enough to keep Lu Qingyu so excited that he couldn't sleep for days and nights!

"Brother!"

"I'm going to learn to read tonight!"

Lu Qingyu looked at Lu Qingfeng, waiting for his eldest brother's affirmative answer.

"No problem, just don't complain." Lu Qingfeng nodded.

"No way, I'm not the second brother!"

Lu Qingyu beamed.

Lu Qingfeng saw it and said helplessly, "Qingyu, help the elder brother up first."

"ah?"

"oh!"

Lu Qingyu saw that his elder brother had not gotten up for a long time, so he quickly came over to help him.

Lu Qingfeng struggled to get up, leaning on Lu Qingyu to move his numb legs.

Gulu!

Then his stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and a strong sense of hunger came over him.

"Brother, it's not time to eat yet."

Lu Qingyu looked up at the sky and saw that it was not dark yet. He pointed at Lu Qingfeng's belly and shouted.

"Brother knows."

Lu Qingfeng was helpless.

Cultivation in the acquired stage is a process of refining and transforming Qi. Before reaching the foundation building stage, it is impossible to absorb the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and cannot introduce the energy into the body. The only way to supplement the consumption of practice is through eating.

After all, inner breath is not created out of thin air, but is cultivated by the essence within the body.

Lu Qingfeng was already weak, and he only ate enough food every day to barely function his body. Now that you start practicing, even if you have not yet understood the sense of Qi and the birth of inner breath, your physical strength will be extremely exhausted.

This is reflected in the so-called "poor literature and rich martial arts".

"One whole-grain cake a day cannot support my practice of the Yan Yang Sutra!"

Lu Qingfeng was so hungry that he felt dizzy.

As a last resort, he quickly took out half a coarse grain cake from his arms and swallowed it in two or two mouthfuls. This is his evening ration, and he can only advance it at this time.

"Do you want to eat now?"

After Lu Qingfeng finished eating, he took the remaining half piece of coarse grain cake and asked Lu Qingyu.

"I don't want it. If you eat it now, you will be hungry at night." Lu Qingyu shook his head.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you first." Lu Qingfeng stuffed half a piece of coarse grain cake into his arms.

Lu Qingyu swallowed and suddenly thought, "Oh, we didn't hunt wild vegetables this afternoon!"

There is no meat at home all year round, and wild vegetables are the only dishes.

Originally, I worked on five acres of dry land every morning and hunted wild vegetables in the afternoon. And this afternoon is almost over. Lu Qingyu was a little frustrated when he thought that there would be no wild vegetables to eat at night.

"We won't eat wild vegetables today, let's eat something else."

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Even if the family's food supply is not enough to sustain the autumn harvest, Qingshan will become a member of the Guizhen Sect, and his appetite will definitely increase greatly."

The food stored by Lu Qingfeng is enough to feed a big eater like Lu Qingshan. Now that there's one more of him, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive even a month.

When the time comes, let alone cultivation, whether you can survive or not is a matter of two minds.

So, he thought of medicinal materials!

"The First Interpretation of Alchemy" records forty-six kinds of basic medicinal materials, some of which can relieve hunger, and some of which can strengthen vitality and replenish qi. The rural people in Heimuzhai may know three or five kinds of medicinal herbs for treating colds based on their life experience.

But it is definitely not as detailed as recorded in "The First Interpretation of Alchemy".

Lu Qingfeng has mastered the "Preliminary Solution to Alchemy". Although he has not yet started to operate it, the information on the forty-six medicinal materials is firmly in his mind.

In "The First Interpretation of Alchemy", there are not only the processing methods of these medicinal materials, but also detailed information on various medicinal materials. To handle medicinal materials, basic information about them must be known.

Based on this information, it is not difficult for Lu Qingfeng to find these wild medicinal materials in reality.

"Among the forty-six kinds of medicinal materials, Atractylodes macrocephala, licorice, wolfberry, polygonatum, etc. are all very common medicinal materials for nourishing energy and replenishing qi, and are necessary materials for refining Huanglong Dan. The effect of taking it alone is definitely not as good as Huanglong Dan. But at this stage, it can solve the urgent need!”

Among them, licorice is sweet and can be taken directly after processing. Eating a small amount is not only good for the body, but also a good sweet. Lu Qingyu will definitely like it.

"Walk!"

"Brother will take you to collect medicine!"

Lu Qingfeng stood up, holding the hatchet in his left hand and the blackwood hoe in his right hand, and headed towards the back of the terrace.

"Collecting medicine?"

Lu Qingyu didn't know why and followed Lu Qingfeng with a confused look on his face.

To the west of the terraces, there are still large areas of uncultivated hills.

Atractylodes macrocephala and licorice are very common, and those who know the knowledge about herbal medicines are very rare in Heimuzhai, so it is not difficult to find them.

really.

Before entering the depths of the mountain forest, Lu Qingfeng soon found three pieces of Atractylodes macrocephala and two licorice plants just outside.

"enough."

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qingfeng was ready to go back.

According to the method in "The First Interpretation of Alchemy", you only need to remove impurities from the licorice, wash it, soak it in water until it is 80% transparent, take it out, moisten it, slice it and dry it.

Slice Atractylodes macrocephala into slices, stir-fry with Fulonggan fine powder until the surface becomes earthy, and sift off excess soil.

Just two kinds of medicinal materials can handle it.

in this way.

Tomorrow you can use the processed licorice and atractylodes to replenish the consumption of cultivation.

"Can these be eaten?"

Lu Qingyu couldn't help but ask after seeing Lu Qingfeng busy for a long time.

"Of course you can eat it. This one is sweet." Lu Qingfeng raised two licorice plants in his hand and said.

"Sweet!"

Lu Qingyu's eyes lit up again.

"I can make more licorice and atractylodes in the past few days and bring them to Qingshan when I go to Huangzhishan the day after tomorrow."

Lu Qingfeng took Lu Qingyu, who was eager to taste licorice, back to the black wooden house, thinking secretly.

He doesn't yet have the ability to fight against the Guizhen Sect or lead Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu to escape from Heimuzhai. He can only use this method to prevent Lu Qingshan from unspeakable things happening due to physical depletion before he succeeds in cultivation.

After processing the atractylodes and licorice.

Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu each ate a licorice plant.

"It's really sweet."

Lu Qingyu broke off half of the whole grain pancake for dinner and handed it to Lu Qingfeng, "Brother, eat more, or you will be too hungry to sleep at night."

"No, you can eat it yourself."

Before Lu Qingfeng finished speaking, Lu Qingyu repeated his old trick and stuffed the coarse grain cake directly into Lu Qingfeng's mouth.

"I'm still young, it's okay to eat less."

Lu Qingyu sipped his saliva, cleared the table, and sat upright, "Brother, teach me how to read!"

"Children should eat more."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head, took charcoal and bark, and taught Qingyu how to read.

At night.

Lu Qingfeng was lying on the bed and logged into "Prehistoric".

…

[Because the player has not eaten for a long time and is now dead, please choose resurrection/reincarnation]

Lu Qingfeng was floating in a chaotic space with no sky and no earth, and in front of him was a system prompt with scarlet writing.

That's right.

he died.

Starved to death.

"It has been eight hours at most since I logged out of the game last night and logged back in again. In "Prehistoric", it has actually been three months and one day?!"

"The time difference is about a hundred times!"

"wrong."

"If there is a time difference between the game and reality, I was in the game for several hours last night, but not too long has actually passed in reality. Then the time when I logged out of the game was about eleven hours."

"That's a hundred times the time difference."

Lu Qingfeng called up the death record and found that three months had passed in "The Great Desolation".

And because he stayed in the bluestone talisman and didn't eat for a long time, his physical body had starved to death more than two months ago. At the first level of the Fetal Breathing Realm, one is still a mortal body. He had neither eaten nor taken Bigu Pills, so he could not survive more than three months.

What Lu Qingfeng was facing now was to choose resurrection or reincarnation.

"No wonder I felt like time passed so slowly last night."

Lu Qingfeng finally knew where that weird feeling came from, and why he felt so energetic when he got up this morning.

Get enough sleep and be naturally energetic!

"According to various information in "Prehistoric", when other players enter the game, the real time is synchronized with the game time. This is my case. It should be caused by different worlds or time travel."

This is why Lu Qingfeng went offline last night without thinking about the speed of time.

For ordinary players, the ratio of reality to game time is one to one.

And Lu Qingfeng was one to one hundred.

This should be due to the different worlds in which he lives, just as he cannot choose to log in to the game in his real body.

"A hundred times the time difference!"

"If I could land in person..."

Thinking of this, Lu Qingfeng shook his head. You can't be greedy.

The time difference of one to one hundred, even if it is only at the level of soul consciousness, has countless benefits for Lu Qingfeng.

Although at present, some minor accidents have occurred.

"Resurrection takes effect immediately. I am currently only at level 1, so the loss to me will be minimal if my level drops. However, my foundation will be damaged and my cultivation qualifications will also be reduced, which will affect my subsequent development."

"If I were reincarnated, sixteen years in the game would be just two months in reality for me."

Lu Qingfeng thought for a while and chose resurrection.

Too many things could happen in two months, and he couldn't afford to gamble.

As for the foundation in the game, at worst, after solving the real-life crisis, I can spend two months reincarnating when I have free time, and then I can make up for it.

[The player is currently at level 0. Resurrection requires 1 low-grade spiritual stone. Do you want to choose to resurrect? 】

"..."

"I choose to be reincarnated!"

[Please select: Reincarnation to current map/random map]

"Current map."

Lu Qingfeng is familiar with Heisha Town, so he naturally wants to stay in Heisha Town.

[The player chooses to be reincarnated into the current map, please wait——]

The only thing Lu Qingfeng had to pay was two months in reality.

"In these two months, you must be careful."
