The strong from the wild

Below the bell tower, stood two people in Taoist robes.

One of them Liu Yi recognized was Zhuang Dunshen, the steward of the paper mill, and the other was an unfamiliar face, with a square face, thick and short eyebrows, and shrewd eyes.

"Liu Yi, come here."

Seeing Liu Yi holding twelve moso bamboos, Zhuang Dunshen couldn't help but smile on his face. He called Liu Yi to the bottom of the clock tower and asked, "Cut twelve cyan and purple moso bamboos in one afternoon. I think your cultivation level has broken through in the past few days." , has opened up a meridian, right?"

For the manager of the paper mill, Liu Yi still respected him very much, and replied: "The disciple has opened up one of the three yang meridians of the hand."

"Not bad! Not bad! In this way, you will be able to make the first piece of talisman paper in just over a month. I, as an uncle, have completed my merits and virtues. At that time, you can leave my paper workshop and go to other places." Workshop, continue to practice."

Zhuang Dunshen nodded, "The man next to me is the steward of the Yushoufang. His name is Niu Qingyun. You can call him Uncle Niu. When you learn how to make paper, go to Uncle Niu to learn about hatching and raising spirit beasts."

"Disciple pays respects to Master Niu."

Liu Yi bowed his hands to Niu Qingyun, and suddenly remembered the "Basic Spiritual Beast Diagram" that Tang Jiawen had given him not long ago, and he knew in his heart that his going to Yushoufang must have been arranged long ago.

"Well, your aptitude is pretty good."

Niu Qingyun nodded with a smile, and received the gift with a gleam in his eyes.

Seeing that Niu Qingyun's eyes were full of light, Liu Yi suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He always felt that Master Niu Qingyun's attitude towards him was different from that of Ning Yuzhu and Zhuang Dunshen.But Liu Yi couldn't tell what was different.

Since then, Liu Yi still lives at three points and one line, either chopping bamboo in a paper mill, or studying hard in Kunzi Academy.

Niu Qingyun, on the other hand, would come to the paper mill from time to time to observe Liu Yi without any trace.

Eleven days later, Liu Yi opened up one of the three Yang meridians again.

In one morning, 25 moso bamboos were cut and brought back to the paper mill.

Standing under the bell tower, Niu Qingyun saw Liu Yi approaching with more than 20 bamboos in his arms, an imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes, he walked up to Liu Yi, smiled at him, "Nephew Liu, you have made another breakthrough! "

"Disciple has met Master Niu." Liu Yi nodded and saluted with fists clasped.

Niu Qingyun said: "According to your practice speed, nephew, you will be able to cut down enough bamboo in a few days, and you will be able to successfully make paper in a short time. Come to my animal cultivation workshop to practice, why not follow me to the animal cultivation workshop today. It’s better to familiarize yourself with the environment first, and I will show you all kinds of spirit beasts by the way.”

Liu Yi didn't doubt that he was there, carried the bamboo back to the room and put it away, locked the door, and followed Niu Qingyun to the animal cultivation workshop.

Niu Qingyun stepped on a magic weapon with a dust whisk, and flew with Liu Yi in the sky, like a fairy in the clouds.

In early winter, the mountains are covered with thick fog.

The animal breeding workshop is not far from the paper workshop, only about ten miles away, and they will arrive in no time.

"Nephew Liu, you have a cautious personality. Just a few moso bamboos should be locked in the room. Are you afraid that those disciples from the paper workshop will steal your moso bamboo?"

Niu Qingyun led Liu Yi into the gate of Yushoufang.

The Beast Breeding Workshop is the place where the Yuxi faction incubates and raises the cubs of spirit beasts.

From far and near in the workshop, there were sounds of beasts roaring and cranes chirping, chirping birds...

You can see cranes perched on the trees, and tigers and leopards lying under the trees, which is a picture of a fairy house.

Liu Yi's eyes were full of surprise, he looked left and right, and when he heard Niu Qingyun asking him, he casually talked about what happened in the paper mill these days.

"Hmph! Brother Zhuang Dunshen only cared about his own cultivation, but he didn't take care of the disciples in the paper workshop. You have been wronged, Senior Nephew Liu."

Speaking for Liu Yi's injustice, Niu Qingyun smiled, pointed at the outer disciples who were combing the spirit beast's hair, and said to Liu Yi, "My disciples in the beast cultivation workshop obey the rules. After you come here, Master Niu guarantees that you will not be wronged in the slightest."

The two of them talked and left, and within a short time, they came to the first courtyard in the animal cultivation workshop.

Niu Qingyun entered the courtyard first, came into the hall, and motioned Liu Yi to sit down, "Nephew Liu, you have opened up the second meridian in eleven days. This kind of cultivation speed is extremely rare in my Yuxi sect." , I wonder if there are any unusual spiritual roots in Master Liu's body?"

Hearing this question, Liu Yi immediately thought of that white feather.

If Liu Yi had just joined the Yuxi School, he might have told Niu Qingyun about the feathers.

But now he has practiced in the paper workshop for more than a month, and he is used to others' jealousy, slander, cynicism, and he knows that although the Yuxi School is a decent family, not everyone is a gentleman.Liu Yi knew even more in his heart that the matter of Feather must not be easily told to others.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Liu Yi made up his mind not to talk about Yu Yu, but shook his head and replied: "I don't know either."

"My practitioners, there is a huge gap between those who have spiritual roots and those who don't. If there are spiritual roots in the body, the speed of practice will be far faster than others, and my Yuxi sect will take care of such disciples..."

Niu Qingyun was very kind, poured a cup of tea for Liu Yi, and put it in front of him, "Why don't Master Niu check your pulse for you to see what kind of spiritual root is in your body. If your nephew is really talented, master Uncle will report this matter to the head, and then the head will definitely look at you differently, and Master Niu, I also have the credit for recommending talents."

Hearing this, Liu Yi stretched out his hand and asked Niu Qingyun to feel his pulse.

"Isn't it?"

Niu Qingyun put two fingers on Liu Yi's pulse gate, and after searching for a while, he shook his head and frowned slowly, "Nephew Liu, although you have good aptitude, you don't have spiritual roots in your body."

Liu Yi replied: "When I went to the paper mill for the first time, Uncle Zhuang Dunshen also checked my aptitude. He only said that my aptitude is good, but he didn't find any spiritual roots in my body."

"Oh……"

Niu Qingyun groaned, waved to Liu Yi, and said, "Go back first."

At this time, Niu Qingyun seemed to have forgotten that he once said that he would take Liu Yi to see the spirit beast.

After Liu Yi left, Niu Qingyun sat alone in the room, his eyes flickering, and he thought to himself, "I thought Liu Yi had a spiritual root in his body, and he was a genius. I wanted to report this to the head of the house and get some credit. , but this Liu Yi has only above-average aptitude, so I wasted all my efforts."

After a long time, he stood up abruptly and walked around in the hall, muttering, "It's unreasonable for me to be able to open up a meridian in ten or so days with an upper-middle aptitude!"

unreasonable!Absolutely unreasonable!

Niu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and he thought again: "This Liu Yi has either taken the panacea Tang Jiawen gave him, or has a treasure in his body! Tang Jiawen behaves well and requires his disciples to practice steadily. It is absolutely impossible. Give Liu Yi the elixir for improving cultivation, then Liu Yi must have a treasure in his body!"

Thinking of this, Niu Qingyun suddenly had a smile on his face, turned to the door and said, "Guan Shanyuan, come to the lobby to meet me!"

Although the voice of this sentence was low, it clearly spread throughout the entire animal cultivation workshop.

Guan Shanyuan was grooming a female leopard that was about to give birth. After hearing Niu Qingyun's call, he trotted all the way to the hall, "I'm here, I don't know what orders the steward has?"

Niu Qingyun raised his eyes, "I remember you live in Kunziyuan, right?"

Guan Shanyuan replied: "The disciple is from the Kunzi Academy."

Niu Qingyun asked again: "Do you know Liu Yi?"

Guan Shanyuan replied respectfully: "The disciple knows that Liu Yi is the one who just came to the animal cultivation workshop with the steward."

"From now on, you will follow Liu Yi secretly, and you don't have to come to the Animal Breeding Workshop. You just need to follow behind him secretly, pay attention to everything about him, everything he does, basic necessities of life...but don't let him find out about this matter." .”

Niu Qingshan waved his sleeve, and a pill appeared in his palm: "If you do this well, I will reward you with this Qi Gathering Pill in my hand, and when you break through to the Qi Refining Realm, I will accept you as a disciple." , would you like to?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Guan Shanyuan's face was full of ecstasy, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed in thanks.He has mediocre qualifications and is already 24 years old. If he fails to break through to the Qi Refining Realm within a year, he will be sent home.

In this way, Guan Shanyuan's journey of cultivation will be in vain.

Qi Gathering Pill has the effect of gathering true qi, helping monks in the Qi Cultivation Realm to open up the meridians and break through the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation.

To Guan Shanyuan, this elixir is like a piece of wood in front of a drowning person, it is really a life-saving thing.
