Bearing the blue sky

Martial arts!

However, Zhu Ge's martial arts are not the Five Animal Frolics itself!

Instead, he vaguely touched upon some kind of constraint that made Zhu Ge feel comfortable through the Five Animal Frolics.

This is a membrane that must be broken!

Find his path, then solidify it into a martial arts heart, and step into the Mountain Destruction Realm!

So, Zhu Ge started practicing again.

Meanwhile, the hedgehog girl Liu Jianjian was working nearby.

They cleaned up the area where they had just had a barbecue, then went to cut down trees, dig holes, and lay foundations, clearly preparing to build a small wooden cabin in the valley.

It was probably Hua Liusha who gave the order, since Zhu Ge and Liu Jianjian don't have a place to stay to shelter them from the wind and rain.

When Zhu Ge practiced the Five Animal Frolics, both Hua Liusha and Liu Jianjian in Zhu Ge's mind were involuntarily attracted to Zhu Ge.

The form of the blessing song sometimes resembles a roc spreading its wings or a golden rooster standing on one leg; sometimes it resembles a tiger descending the mountain, glaring menacingly; or sometimes it resembles a big, clumsy bear rubbing its back.

In short, he doesn't seem like a human being!

The two women vaguely sensed that Zhu Ge must have found his way, so they wisely refrained from disturbing him.

The hedgehog girl was very sensible in cutting down trees, going outside the valley to cut them down and then bringing them back. Under Hua Liusha's guidance, she used the mortise and tenon method to build a wooden house.

By the afternoon, the wooden house was completed, and Zhu Ge had stopped practicing, drenched in sweat.

"Five Animal Frolics...so refreshing!" Zhu Ge exhaled a breath of stale air, then went straight to the pond, took off his clothes and pants, and jumped in.

These ponds shimmered with a blue light, were not shallow, and looked beautiful, like sapphires.

However, Zhu Ge didn't care whether the song looked good or not. He went down to wash away the filth and then came ashore.

"This feeling..."

Zhu Ge clenched his fist, feeling a sense of physical enhancement.

Is the Five Animal Frolics not just a martial art, but also a body-refining exercise?

Zhu Ge thought of the claim that the Five Animal Frolics could improve health and fitness, and couldn't help but feel somewhat convinced.

The Five Animal Frolics does indeed have the effect of body strengthening!

Moreover, as he knew, the Five Animal Frolics body-strengthening exercise did not enhance the external physical body, but rather the internal organs!

"A treasure, this is absolutely a treasure!"

Zhu Ge decided on it in an instant.

The Five Animal Frolics is definitely a powerful body-refining technique that is no less powerful than the Great Sun Glass Body!

Moreover, this body-refining process is not painful.

For example, the Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Body is extremely painful every time it is practiced.

The Five Animal Frolics, at most, only causes a feeling of heat throughout the body; it trains the internal organs in a gentle and slow manner.

However, it also consumes a lot of energy.

After practicing the Five Animal Frolics, Zhu Ge felt that all the meat she had just eaten had been burned off.

This also made him feel that his internal organs were becoming stronger.

Good thing!

"Master, please have some water!" Liu Jianjian saw Zhu Ge get ashore and put on his clothes, and ran over excitedly, holding up a water cup.

What has Hua Liusha turned the hedgehog into...? Zhu Ge was astonished by Hua Liusha's training abilities.

How come I never noticed Hua Liusha was so good at this before...? Zhu Ge took the water, then nodded and praised, "Well done."

Hearing Zhu Ge's praise, Liu Jianjian's face lit up with a bright smile.

Zhu Ge then looked at the small wooden house not far away: "I will live here from now on, but when I go out hunting, you can plant some rice and vegetables. You should be an omnivore, so you can't just eat meat."

"Yes, Master!" Liu Jianjian replied immediately. "Before the vegetables, fruits, and grains are planted, may I go out of the valley to gather some fruit?"

Out of the valley?

Zhu Ge narrowed her eyes: "Okay."

However, he added in a deep voice, "But you need Hua Liusha to stay with you in your soul. If you try to escape, Hua Liusha will simply kill you!"

"Yes!" Liu Jianjian's expression tightened, and she quickly said, "Don't worry, Master, I won't! There's so much good food and drink here, Master, I don't want to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge finally smiled.

Actually, he got a bargain.

Liu Jianjian is timid and fearful by nature, so she rarely gets into conflicts with others.

If you encounter a being of the second realm, just run away; if you encounter a being of the first realm, just shoot arrows from a distance.

Moreover, they never chase after those who are fast or thick-skinned and unafraid of being shot from the shadows.

The reason they came to chase Zhu Ge earlier was simply because Zhu Ge was powerful and only at the first realm.

If Zhu Ge hadn't learned martial arts skills like "Lighting Incense" in one night, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle Liu Jianjian.

It's a pity no.

Zhu Ge's speed improved significantly overnight, and he immediately caught Liu Jianjian, who was not good at fighting.

I've struck gold!

"Little sister, you must keep a close eye on her." Zhu Ge also warned Hua Liusha in her mind: "Many demon beasts are cunning by nature. Before we completely trust Liu Jianjian, we cannot easily treat her as one of our own."

It's extremely rare to find someone like Liu Jianjian, who possesses the cultivation level of the second stage of human transformation but lacks the corresponding strength, yet somehow knows a great deal of inside information.

If they happen to encounter even one of them, they've struck gold.

We can't let our baby run off on their own.

"Brother is right, don't worry!" Hua Liusha also knew the importance of the matter:

"I'm training her. Her innocence and kindness are probably genuine. I believe that in a year or two, Liu Jianjian will start to see you as her true husband."

"It's not that bad." Zhu Ge rubbed his nose. "You know, little sister, I have no interest in doing those things. Cultivation is more important."

"That's not necessarily true. Not everyone has the scent of mating, Master~" Hua Liusha said with a grin, mimicking Liu Jianjian's tone:

"If my master wishes, he can just have a few little hedgehogs. I, as their legal wife, can even help take care of the children!"

"Stop fooling around." Zhu Ge was both amused and exasperated, then turned her head to look at one side of the valley.

This valley has plenty of sunshine, and both the valley floor and the surrounding area are suitable for planting.

However, having eaten too much ordinary food, Zhu Ge couldn't help but think of a word.

Lingmi!

"It seems that some kind of spiritual rice was produced in the three villages of Menglapo before? Even the fishermen in straw raincoats coveted it."

Zhu Ge knew from the thought that the Spirit-grade Redmi rice must be a very good product.

"Liu Jianjian, now that we've made this place our home, what are your thoughts?" Zhu Ge asked Liu Jianjian directly, hoping to get some answers.

"Ah." Liu Jianjian was suddenly asked a question, and she tilted her head to look around:

"What do you think? I think it's great here! I love it here, it's beautiful, and with the owner and the Ghost Sister protecting me, it's safe."

"Don't you think we should grow some things here to eat?" Zhu Ge prompted.

Having witnessed the stalemate between Yuanyang City and the Plague God Sparrow, he became even more certain that such a stalemate would inevitably last a long time.

And the war that follows the breaking of the stalemate will be very protracted.

After all, the Lord of Yuanyang City had recalled human cultivators like the Fisherman in the Straw Raincoat, and the Plague God Sparrow had also gathered a group of demons, ghosts, monsters, and gods.

In such turbulent and war-torn times, it is impossible not to consider the long-term consequences.

"Oh, planting?" Liu Jianjian nodded vigorously. "I know, I know! Master, do you mean we can plant some spiritual fruits, herbs, flowers, and trees here?"

"For example, I know there is a mulberry field a few hundred miles away with many mulberry trees. We can also catch some spirit silkworms to raise and weave soul clothes to protect the soul for Sister Xi Gui."

"After all, Master, you have the cultivation technique 'The Silk Chronicles of Suzhou,' and Sister Xi Gui can become a seamstress. This way, we can eat the mulberries from the spirit mulberry tree and raise silkworms to reel silk. Is that what you mean, Master?"

After saying that, Liu Jianjian looked at Zhu Ge with excitement, expecting praise from him.

Looking at Liu Jianjian's face, Zhu Ge and Hua Liusha both fell silent.

After a long pause, under Liu Jianjian's expectant gaze, Zhu Ge slowly nodded:

"Yes, yes, Jianjian is very smart."

"Yes, that's what I think too, yes, that's right."
