Chapter 5: Tree Pulling
I feel like I'm floating.

It feels like being soaked in water, making me feel groggy.

I just felt like I had a very long dream.

But the next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his forehead, which woke him up.

Tang Guodong covered his bandaged forehead with his hands and sat up from the hospital bed with difficulty.

He lowered his head and shook it, trying to clear his mind.

My car suddenly lost control and seemed to be about to hit someone.
Then a Taoist priest in white clothes jumped out and stopped the car with his bare hands.
"Hiss~ It seems that I was hit really hard this time."

Feeling the pain in my forehead, this reason seemed to be somewhat credible.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a young doctor in a white coat and a nurse walked in.

"Are you awake? How do you feel now?"

"Yeah, I have a headache and my thoughts are a little confused, but otherwise I'm fine."

Seeing that the person coming was a doctor, Tang Guodong had nothing to hide and said after thinking for a moment.

"That's good, don't worry. These are all normal symptoms. You suffered a minor concussion from a head impact."

"But it's not serious. I'll observe him for two days. If his symptoms don't worsen, he'll be transferred to the inpatient department and rest for two to three weeks before being discharged."

"Sigh, sorry to bother you."

Tang Guodong touched the bandage on his head with his hand. Although the wound had been treated, the pain still came in waves.

"Do you need me to get you some painkillers?"

After asking about the situation, the doctor left. The remaining nurse saw the patient gasping in pain and asked kindly.

"No need to bother. Could you please pay the hospital bill for me at the front desk? It's not convenient for me to go downstairs right now."

Tang Guodong spoke in a somewhat weak voice.

"No need, sir. A gentleman has already paid for your hospitalization."

"Has anyone paid? Who? Did they leave a phone number?"

When he heard that someone had already paid for it, he didn't think much about it and just thought it was a kind-hearted person nearby.

However, the nurse's next words made his body freeze.

"Hmm... That's weird. He didn't say anything, just paid and left. But judging by the Taoist robes he was wearing, he must be a Taoist priest, right?"

The voice of the young nurse next to him was getting farther and farther away. Tang Guodong's eyes were blank, and he didn't know if it was because of the hit on his head.

At that time, the moon-white Taoist robe in front of the car became clearer in my mind.
".A Taoist priest?"

Tang Guodong rubbed his temples and kept this matter firmly in mind.

No matter what he feels.

Now on the other side.

As the sun sets, the red sun shines on the green mountains, covering them with a rosy glow.

On the winding mountain path, two figures were walking slowly forward carrying large and small bags.

"Master?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Why did we just go back to the mountain after paying the medical bills? Judging from the way he was dressed, he definitely wasn't someone who needed money."

"The doctor said his injuries weren't serious and he'd wake up soon. Why don't we wait until he pays before we leave?"

Li Qingfeng scratched his head in confusion.

"Besides, there aren't many worldly things on our mountain. Now..."

"Boom~"

"Ouch!"

Lu Gu took back the stainless steel spatula in his hand.

Looking at the silly disciple in front of him who was covering his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Do you think that if I want to make money, I can be short of money?"

Li Qingfeng said without hesitation.

"Of course there's no shortage of that! For a god-like figure like Master, I wonder how many people would be vying for money."

Lu Gu looked at his disciple who still didn't understand what was going on and shook his head helplessly.

"Since you know that if I want money, I won't be short of it, so why would you ask such a question?"

Looking at Li Qingfeng who was looking puzzled, he suddenly wanted to tease him.

Then he put on a serious expression and continued.

"Could it be that you're still greedy for this worldly wealth? Once you've achieved success in your cultivation, will you still go on a spree of wealth, corruption, and abuse of power?!"

The more he spoke, the harsher his voice became.

"If you only care about the mundane world, how can you cultivate the Tao? How can you become an immortal?"

Until the last few words echoed in Li Qingfeng's mind like a huge bell.

Really? What's the point of cultivating immortality? To make money? To become famous? No!
It is to eradicate evil and uphold justice!

"I never expected that I, a disciple, who thought that my heart for seeking the Tao and cultivating immortality was already unbreakable, would realize today, after Master's revelation, that my heart was actually burdened by these external things!"

Li Qingfeng lowered his head with guilt in his eyes.

"No wonder my disciples have trained so hard for months but achieved nothing. It turns out they were just superficial."

He suddenly looked up at his master, and every word he said was powerful.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance! From now on, I will redouble my efforts in cultivation and stay true to my original intention!"

"Ding~ Li Qingfeng suddenly realized MC +10"

(°_°)? ? ?

Looking in front of him, Li Qingfeng had a determined look as if he wanted to join the party.

Lu Gu's face was full of question marks.

Is this an epiphany? Is there any need to be so exaggerated?

Faced with the silly disciple with shining eyes, he could only return to his original indifferent expression.

"I'm glad you understand. Let's go. Let's hurry up and get back to the temple before dark. I'll make a magic weapon for you."

When Li Qingfeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and all the fatigue in his body disappeared.

Just run up the mountain at full speed.

Seeing this, Lu Gu at the back shook his head and laughed.

"I'm still a teenager after all~"

After saying that, he also jumped up and down a few times to chase after him.

In the blink of an eye.

It was completely dark.

The originally dilapidated alchemy room in the backyard was now brightly lit.

"Hiss, it feels a little off."

At this time, Lu Gu was wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe, which was worn by his predecessor when he performed rituals.

However, the original Taoist priest only knew how to make elixirs and cultivate immortality all day long, and he only passed through this world a few times.

Lu Gu looked at the bronze alchemy furnace in front of him, which was the size of a rice cooker, and rubbed his chin in thought.

"Qingfeng, go to the front hall and get the spare incense and candles."

"Yes, Master!"

After Li Qingfeng walked away, Lu Gu opened the module store and looked at the portable production page that was priced at 20mc.

He looked at his MC value which had reached 139 points, and exchanged it with a generous wave of his hand.

Open the gray block panel again, and sure enough, a 2×2 placement space appears in the blank space in the upper right corner.

"Finally, I've completed the two-piece set. Now, let's do this..."

As he spoke, he walked out of the alchemy room and came to the corner of the backyard.

There was a crooked old elm tree, only about two meters tall, but extremely thick.

Standing in front of the old elm tree, Lu Gu rubbed his hands excitedly.

He found a suitable angle and punched the tree trunk.

"Pull the tree!"

Following a series of dull thumping sounds.

"Bang~"

Finally, with a slight sound, the entire tree fell to the ground, breaking into four one-meter-long wooden stakes and two clumps of green leaves.

"Huh? It's not a hanging tree, but a whole tree dug up like chain mining?"

Lu Gu kicked the exploded wooden stake and watched it roll away.

"It seems more scientific, but it's too inconsistent with the copy-and-paste wooden stakes."

Looking at the mess on the ground, Lu Gu simply opened the module store again and searched for the module he wanted through the search bar.

Steve's Quick Bar

"Price: 40mc"

Comment: "A quick axe chop, followed by a leaping chop!"

"Steve's Backpack"

"Price: 60mc"

Comment: "Carrying the bag~"

I exchanged them all without hesitation, and the MC points in the upper right corner returned to 19 points again, falling back to double digits.

As the function loaded, a row of small gray grids appeared at the lower edge of the line of sight.

Open the gray page again, and sure enough.

There are three more rows of backpack grids in the blank space in the lower half of the page. Including the row of shortcut bars below, there are a total of 36 grids.

As these two modules were installed, the logs and leaves that were originally scattered on the ground began to tremble.

It gradually shrank, and then whooshed into Lu Gu's body.

And in the shortcut bar in Lu Gu's sight, the corresponding patterns and names also appeared.

Logs and leaves are written respectively, with corresponding numbers in the upper right corner representing the quantity.

"All right."

"Now I can make weapons for my cheap apprentice."
