"What a thief!"
"Thief Thunder Lord!"
"The Dragon King of Thieves!"
"Are you urinating frequently, urgently, or unable to urinate completely?"
"It's been more than a year! The water didn't stop for a while!"
Niu boldly carried the hoe and cursed at the pattering sky above his head.
"Old Niu, stop talking nonsense!"
"Are you so bold that you dare to criticize even gods?"
The people around laughed, but judging from their opinions, it was obvious that they didn't have much respect for the gods Niu boldly mentioned.
Obviously, if these gods were useful, the rain that had been falling continuously for a year and three months should have stopped long ago.
"There are so many injustices in the world that even God can't stand them any longer. It only hurts us ordinary people!" Niu Bingdao spat on the ground and said viciously.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Are you really desperate?"
"Don't say this kind of thing again!"
"If you want to die, die alone, don't hurt everyone!"
Everyone said angrily.
Niu boldly struggled out, snorted, said nothing, and followed the team silently.
Today, they are going to dig a canal in the west of the city.
I don't know when the rain will stop. Many places in the city are flooded. The monks are coming and going and don't pay attention to this matter. If the people don't open canals and release water, how can they live their lives?
Passing by a large house, Niu DaDa couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and look inside.
When everyone saw this, they glared at him again.
"Can you please calm down?"
Niu DaDang laughed, scratched his head and said, "I'm just curious. This guy inside has been quiet for more than a year. Is it true that he's dead as he was rumored to be?"
When others heard this, they couldn't help but look at the manor.
But seeing that the walls of the manor's courtyard were so high, it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Instead, there were overgrown weeds at the foot of the walls, which had not been taken care of for an unknown amount of time.
If it weren't for the forbidden light that filled the walls, everyone would have thought this was an abandoned manor!
As far as they knew, the man in the manor had not been seen for more than a year.
During this period of time, Linfeng City had undergone tremendous changes, but that person seemed to have locked himself up and lived in isolation from the world.
Even if there are guests who knock on the door, they are always rejected.
"Let's go!"
"Whether the person named Ling is dead or alive, what does it have to do with us?"
"That's right! Don't forget, he is the apprentice of the old demon Xuanji!"
Everyone quickly dragged Niu Bingdao away to prevent him from making any shocking remarks again.
…
Inside the manor.
Niu DaDang and others were talking among themselves, but they didn't know that the real owner was just across the wall and could hear everything clearly.
"Old Demon of Mystery?"
Ling Xiao laughed dumbly.
This name is a bit domineering.
"At least it's much more pleasing to the ears than those from great immortals and good people."
He stretched and continued to work in the fields.
After such a long time, the scene in the manor has changed a lot. The spiritual field has expanded to 15 acres, the spiritual pond has expanded to 7, and the size of the medicinal garden has more than doubled than before!
Today, Ling Xiao can be said to have completely lived a self-sufficient cultivation life, with a steady stream of resources for cultivating immortals, and even a surplus!
Of course, he is not as exaggerated as not going out all year round.
Occasionally, he would go out to buy some mantis seedlings, or go to the flea market to find some spiritual grass materials, but he would always use the identity of Xuantu, so no one knew about it.
After Ling Xiao cleaned up the spiritual field, he returned to the medicine garden and sat cross-legged under the green trees to practice.
[You are working so hard just after your cultivation breakthrough. I think this guy is getting more and more wrong! 】Biqingshu said with worry.
[Since that incident, when has he ever been satisfied? Fortunately, this kid was a little conscious and didn't delay his own cultivation, otherwise he would really be a waste! ] Tuo Shenhua sneered.
【Yes, yes! 】
[Brother Yu is right in his assessment! 】
Next to him, there was another sound of agreement.
Bi Qingshu smiled bitterly and said: [You guys are making noise again! But since his cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, it’s time to prepare for foundation building! 】
It speaks with hope.
【No hurries? Doesn't the material for the Tianpin Foundation Building Pill still lack the 'Star Flame Vine'? What's more, haven't you also grown green fruits? 】Another voice interjected, coming from Cloud Mist Grass!
After such a long period of warming, the grass finally regained its vitality, and its whole body was wrapped in a layer of light mist, making it look full of spirituality.
[If you search more, you can always find it, right? After all, he has even obtained the most difficult Ying Yuan Powder. Among the Five Elements materials, he has also obtained Jinxiuluo, Biqingshu, Cloud Mist Grass and Wugenchen. The only thing missing is the last Star Flame Vine. Maybe he can get it soon. Found it! 】
[That is, let him quickly build a foundation and avenge Qingfeng Temple! 】
Jin Xiuluo also shouted.
Under the tree, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, glanced at Jin Xiuluo, and couldn't help but laugh.
This guy actually wants to go with him. He is indeed a medicinal herb that Qingfeng Guan has collected for hundreds of years. His feelings for his master are so deep!
Jin Xiuluo and Wugenchen were the ones he found from the storage bag left by Xuan Jizi.
These two pieces of material finally solved Ling Xiao's long-standing doubts, which was why Xuan Jizi had delayed building the foundation for so many years.
It turns out that the old man was also thinking about the Tianpin Foundation Establishment Pill!
But then, why did you give up?
Ling Xiao was puzzled.
The answer to this question, with the death of Xuan Jizi, may be sealed forever.
Anyway, now that these two materials are in Ling Xiao's hands, his wish to refine the heavenly foundation-building pill is only the last step left!
Star Flame Vine!
As long as he gets this vine, he can immediately start an alchemy furnace and get the legendary heavenly foundation-building pill!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao felt hot in his heart.
Soon, he calmed down.
He had been searching for the whereabouts of the Star Flame Vine a lot before, but he could never find it. This matter could not be rushed.
The practice is over.
Ling Xiao got up and moved his body. Feeling the explosive power in his body, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It took him a full year and three months to break through the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and finally reached this realm that countless people dream of.
There is only the last step left to build the foundation, but it is also the most difficult step.
Suddenly, I wanted to go out for a walk.
The kind without a mask.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then finally took a deep breath, and in a flash, he came to the door and pulled it gently.
Squeak!
The big iron gate made a heavy, rusty sound, rumbling and deafening.
There is no one on the street.
It's raining today too.
Ling Xiao held up an oil-paper umbrella and glanced at the distant Chenjia Mountain deep in the clouds and mist. Then, smelling the musty smell brought by the wind and rain, he walked slowly on the deserted street.
It has to be said that Linfeng City has changed a lot.
The familiar shops in the past have closed down one by one, replaced by new merchants, with new faces and new decorations, but they are still doing business.
Fortunately, Lion Trading Company did not close down.
Ling Xiao stood at the door of the trading house, staring at the two obviously new stone lions on the left and right, smiled slightly, and stepped in.
