Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 947 Baletu
A month later, the chief of Niubei Village returned with three carts full of goods, including food but mostly cloth.

When the village chief came back, he called a meeting of the villagers and required everyone to be present.

In the afternoon, more than 300 people gathered at the village square. Children were playing games outside. The weather was still a bit cold, so the village chief had people build several bonfires.

The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Dear villagers, today we want to thank Old Li and his family. Without Old Li, we wouldn't have been able to bring back so many things."

The villagers all looked at Old Li with gratitude.

The village chief continued, "Then we sold all the wine we pulled out. We got ten taels of silver per jar. Our wine is good, so the price is higher. After deducting the five hundred taels of silver for the goods, there are still thirty-nine thousand five hundred taels left. The silver bill is here. I want to ask everyone's opinion. Should we divide it up or put it on the village's total account?"

As soon as these words came out, the villagers exploded with excitement. They had all kinds of ideas, but the most common one was that everyone should divide the money and each family would control its own property.

After listening for a while, Kuwa became displeased. He was the one who made the wine, and the village chief never mentioned it. Kuwa was a little annoyed, and he wanted to study the stone.

Kuwa pulled Grandpa Li's clothes and said, "Grandpa, I'm going back first. Don't ask me to divide the money."

Grandpa Li was stunned, knowing that Kuwa was angry, and said, "If you want to go back, go back. In fact, you should get the lion's share of the money."

"Don't say that. The villagers have a hard time too. My money is of little use to me." Kuva said casually.

Grandpa Li glared at Kuwa and said, "When you go to the martial arts academy, you won't say that. I know what to do. Go back. It's hard for me to talk to you while you're here."

Kuva nodded and turned away.

The next morning, the four brothers started their training as usual. They first ran around the perimeter of Niubei Mountain until the sun rose, and then did horse stance. Because the three of them were in good physical condition, Kovakova directly increased the intensity of their training.

After morning exercise, Grandpa Li found Kuwa and said that he had obtained 10,000 taels for him last night, and now he kept it with him and would give it to him when he went to the martial arts academy. Kuwa really didn't take it seriously. He had already reached the peak of spiritual cultivation and the ultimate in martial arts, so why did he need money to go to school?
But the fact that the village chief came back without any outsiders was not a good thing for Kuva, as he had no chance to go to the martial arts academy.

Kuwa had to recover from his injuries step by step. Grandpa Li had already warned him that if he didn't, he would have to go to the fields to farm.

Kuwa lived in the east wing of the Li family's inner courtyard. Everyone was busy during the day. Kuwa looked at the stone, wondering if there was any way he could open up his own little world.

Kuva climbed up the stone and sat on it. The natural meridians in his body began to circulate. Suddenly, spiritual energy came out from the stone and flowed through Kuva's body. Finally, the spiritual energy returned to his dantian, but the small world absorbed a part of it.

Logically speaking, he should have been in the spiritual transformation stage before he was teleported, but now it seems like he is starting all over again. The difference is that he is now absorbing spiritual energy from the spirit stone, and the small world is also absorbing spiritual energy.

Kuva has no way to communicate with the small world now, and can only hope to improve his natural ability and see if he can reach the spiritual stage to open the small world.

Kuva once again circulated the Natural Meridian, absorbing spiritual energy from the spiritual stone again and again. After nine great cycles and eighty-one cycles of the Natural Meridian, the spiritual energy in the body reached its peak. The spiritual energy began to impact the Dantian. As Kuva circulated the Natural Meridian again, the Dantian expanded by twice as much as if it had broken through a barrier.

Kuva knew that he had reached the initial stage of Qi training and his spiritual consciousness had also recovered. Kuva was very excited and wanted to look inward and explore the small world with his spiritual consciousness. Unfortunately, he did not succeed. However, Kuva was very excited as he could already sense the location of the small world.

Kuva used his spiritual sense to probe the storage space in his hand again, and the space was opened at once. The things inside were all there. Kuva was confident now, because there were still spirit stones in the space that Daben didn't put down last time.

Since he started practicing Qi, Kuva has become very diligent. He gets up before dawn, finds the place where he appeared at that time, places the spirit stone, and practices on it, day after day.

Grandpa Li knew that Kuva had started to busy himself with his own affairs, so he told the three boys not to disturb Kuva unless necessary.

A few days later, Kuva had a breakthrough. At this time, the small world fed back spiritual energy to Kuva, which benefited Kuva a lot. He felt the power of nature in the dark. He could communicate with plants and trees and integrate into the earth. This means that he can move freely underground. Kuva himself has also reached the lower level of the middle stage of Qi training.

Less than half of the original spiritual energy is left in the spirit stone, and Kuva doesn't know how high it can reach after all of it is absorbed.

Kuva now relies on spirit stones, so he wants to ask if there is any immortal cultivation in the current Wu Kingdom. He can only ask Grandpa Li, and Grandpa Li replied that he knows nothing. Kuva uses his spiritual sense to explore the objects around him and the underground to see if he can feel the spiritual energy, but he always gets disappointing results. Kuva tries to go underground and walk underground. The Three Immortals have the art of earth escape, and Kuva is constantly practicing.

The spirit stone was not found, but there were quite a few graves that Kuva avoided.

Time passed slowly. Kuva had been in the mountains for three months. With the help of the spirit stone, he reached the peak of the middle stage of Qi training. According to the description of the Natural Sutra, he needed to establish connections with all things in order to break through the middle stage of Qi training. He needed an opportunity.

Gradually, his martial arts skills stagnated. Only a small part of the spiritual energy brought by the spirit stone was absorbed by himself, and most of it was absorbed by the small world.

Kuva couldn't solve the problem with his martial arts for the time being, so he had to go back to Niubei Village.

As soon as he entered the village, Kuva used his spiritual sense to find that Dashan was practicing boxing at home. He seemed to be quite diligent. It was only noon and the sun was shining warmly on Niubei Village.

Kuwa walked slowly into the village and the villagers greeted him warmly. The villagers respected Kuwa very much because he brought great changes to the village.

The village looked like it had been renovated. Every household had a small courtyard house with a yard in front and a garden in the back, neatly arranged in rows. This was the request of the village chief.

Kuwa walked to Grandpa Li's house in the north of the village. Grandpa Li was not there. Only Dashan was practicing diligently.

Grandpa Li was at the village chief's house. The second steward of the mayor of Red Bull Town came to the village chief's house. The second steward came to ask for the method of brewing wine.

The village chief's face turned dark, and he quickly said that he could not make the decision on this matter and that he had to call several village elders to discuss it.

The second butler was not in a hurry and just drank tea and waited. The village chief summoned several elders and told them the purpose of the second butler's visit.

Grandpa Li heard it, but he didn't say anything the whole time, nor did he agree. He said to the village chief, "This matter needs the consent of my grandson Kuwa before I can agree to it. I'll go back and ask."

The second butler frowned and looked at the village chief, who quickly explained, "This brewing method was thought up by Kuva, and it really requires Kuva's consent."

The second housekeeper said, "Okay, I'll wait for a day. I'll stay here today. Sorry to bother Village Chief Wu."

The village chief quickly arranged for the second butler and the accompanying guards to stay.

Grandpa Li frowned, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked back home. He was thinking about how to deal with the second butler tomorrow. He didn't know where Kuva was now.

As soon as he reached the door of his house, a familiar smell wafted into his nose. Grandpa Li was happy, because it was Kuva who came back.

I quickly took a few steps and opened the door, and saw Kuva teaching the Dashan Tianluo boxing.

"Grandpa, I'm back. Are you okay?" Kuva quickly ran to Grandpa Li.

"Okay, everything is fine. We were worried to death when you were away for three months." Grandpa Li said with a smile on his face.

Kuwa was also very happy. He regarded Grandpa Li as his own grandfather and Dashan as his own younger brother from the bottom of his heart.

Kuva made dinner. Dashan lost interest in practicing after Kuva entered the kitchen. But Kuva said that he might have to leave Niubei Village, and if his level was not good enough then she would not take him with her. So Dashan hurried back to practice.

After Grandpa Li came back, dinner began. The three of them sat down and started eating without saying a word.
