Chapter 36: Same

In the room, Niu Yi opened the four wooden boxes one by one and placed them on the table. Looking at the many spiritual materials in the boxes, especially the spiritual cloud flowers that looked like white clouds, Niu Yi couldn't help but smile.

"To obtain so many precious spiritual materials, the several land gods must have put in a lot of effort, especially the land god of Baoquanjian. These two blue-grade water Ganoderma lucidum are of excellent quality and are obviously carefully cultivated. This person must have brought back the spiritual materials he cultivated himself."

Niu Yi felt a little emotional, having a wide circle of friends also has its advantages.

If he had gone out to look for it on his own, it would have taken him forever to find so many spiritual materials. But with the help of the four land gods, he could have collected all the spiritual materials within a thousand miles of this mountainous area.

"These three are really thoughtful."

"It just so happens that Yuehua Lu has taken out all the remaining spiritual deer musk. I can refine some Tongshen incense in return."

Niu Yi didn't think so. It was because the Earth God of Jindou Mountain exposed the existence of the Tongshen Incense that he attracted the help of these three people. These three people helped him so much probably because of the last time he chanted the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility". Seeing that he was a capable person, they were so enthusiastic to make friends with him.

But Niu Yi was unwilling to just take advantage of others.

Give and take, that's the way of friendship.

Niu Yi covered the four boxes of spiritual materials and put them together with the big gourd containing the moonlight liquid.

Then Niu Yi sat back on the bed cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.

Lingtai state of mind, central hall.

After Niu Yi opened his eyes, he walked forward to look at the burnt incense stick in the incense burner, quickly replaced it with a new one and lit it, then bowed to the ancestral tablet, turned around and walked straight out the door.

"Three days, make good use of it."

As he did every day, Niu Yi first quickly cleaned the dusty building, then came to the library. Under the bright moonlight, he picked up a book he had read before, "Collection of Spiritual Materials of the Four Continents, Volume Three", and began to study it carefully page by page.

With the gift of a mind as sharp as a spirit platform, he could quickly immerse himself in his studies, memorizing every picture and every word in the pharmacopoeia.

Whenever he came across the spiritual materials mentioned in the Incense Sutra, a sense of enlightenment would arise in his heart, and he would constantly ponder the role this spiritual material played in making incense.

"Whoa whoa----"

While studying seriously, Niu Yi completely ignored the time in the outside world. It was not until the sky suddenly brightened and the loud crowing of a rooster sounded again that Niu Yi suddenly realized that a whole night had passed.

Niu Yi sat at the table by the window, looked up at the sun slowly rising in the sky, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

In addition to cleaning the entire Taoist temple, the day he met the ancestor was also the first day he saw the daytime on Lingtai Mountain.

Every time before, when the rooster crowed, he would leave the spiritual state of mind.

Niu Yi looked at the sun slowly rising, a little dazed, and felt extremely peaceful in his heart at this moment.

"Gulu~"

At this moment, a strange sound that had not been heard for a long time came, breaking the tranquility of the early morning. Niu Yi looked down in surprise and looked at his stomach.

"Gulu~"

But he heard his stomach growling again, as if responding to Niu Yi, as if it was the one that was growling just now.

"I actually feel hungry?"

After breaking through to the Demon General realm, Niu Yi hadn't had this feeling for a long time. At his level, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a daily basis is actually enough to sustain his cultivation and survival.

As for food, most of the time they just eat some spiritual fruits or satisfy a sudden appetite.

Niu Yi thought for a moment and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

This should also be one of the tests.

Sweeping the floor, hoeing the garden, tending flowers and pruning trees, looking for firewood to make fire, and carrying water to transport pulp.

In the Taoist temple, besides the trees on both sides of the courtyard that had not been trimmed for a long time, there were also two completely abandoned flower beds, and behind the temple was a large wasteland overgrown with weeds.

Finding firewood to make fire, carrying water and transporting pulp are the two most important daily tasks in the Taoist temple: making fire and cooking rice, and washing clothes and cooking.

The master’s meaning is actually very clear.

None of these four daily practices can be missed.

After Niu Yi thought this through, he slowly stood up, closed the book, and put the "Collection of Spiritual Materials of the Four Continents, Volume Three" back to its original position on the bookshelf.

Afterwards, Niu Yi went straight to the storage room where various tools were stored, took out hoes, shovels, rakes and other farm tools, and headed towards the wasteland behind the Taoist temple.

During this time, Niu Yi picked some pine cones from the pine tree to fill his stomach. He planned to go to the back mountain at noon. He remembered that there were streams and fruit trees there.

When the time comes, he can go there to fetch water, and those fruit trees can be used to fill his stomach before the vegetables he planted grow.

Niu Yi came to the wasteland behind the Taoist temple. Looking at the weeds and wild flowers in the garden, he was full of energy!

The top of his Jindou Mountain was originally a barren land covered with rocks, but he eventually reclaimed it bit by bit into its present appearance. He was also very experienced in farming.

Thinking of this, Niu Yi swung the hoe, starting from the edge, and slowly, he dug up the weeds and wild flowers on the ground one by one, by their roots, and pushed them aside.

Cultivate the fields in front of you bit by bit.

"Haha~ Junior Brother Niu Yi is really good at tilling the land."

In the alchemy room, Taoist Guanghui was looking at the bronze mirror in front of him with a smile on his face.

In the bronze mirror, there was the scene of Niu Yi hoeing the land in the wasteland. The image was reflected very clearly in the bronze mirror.

Taoist Guanghui just stared at the bronze mirror in front of him.

Niu Yi plowed the fields until noon, then he took an axe, a basket and a wooden barrel and went to the back mountain to chop firewood and eat fruit. He then carried two full buckets of water on his shoulders before returning to the Taoist temple.

Niu Yi first piled the firewood into the woodshed, then poured the water in the wooden barrel into the water tank, and then returned to the wasteland and became busy again.

It was almost evening when Niu Yi returned to the Taoist temple and began his daily cleaning. At night, Niu Yi entered the library again and sat by the window to read in the extremely bright moonlight.

On the second day and the third day, Niu Yi continued the same process until three days were up, and Niu Yi's figure instantly disappeared from the bronze mirror.

For three whole days, Niu Yi did not slack off at all, which made Taoist Guanghui nod with relief.

"Master, I see that Junior Brother Niu Yi has a certain temperament and is a cultivator."

"Let's see again."

"Yes."

Hearing the old and gentle voice, Taoist Guanghui agreed and said nothing more.

The master asked him to teach Junior Brother Niu Yi the art of incense, and also asked him to pass on a treasure like the Hunyuan Furnace to Junior Brother Niu Yi. He must have been quite optimistic about Junior Brother Niu Yi.

But for some unknown reason, although the master accepted this disciple, he did not give him a name.

However, as a disciple, he just had to listen to the master's orders, and it seemed that Junior Brother Niu Yi was enjoying it.

In the thatched hut, Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes, stretched, looked at the sunlight pouring in from the window, and smiled on his face, but soon, the smile was gradually replaced by doubt.

"Strange. This room doesn't look like it hasn't been cleaned in three days."

Suddenly, Niu Yi seemed to think of something and his eyes widened instantly.

Could it be that.
