After many twists and turns, Lu Jing finally got his wish and received his two free steamed buns.
The main reason was that Song Zhongwen and his entourage had left, and the workers in the charcoal kiln also came back one after another to queue up. Gu Caiwei was finally reminded of what she should do, and also gave Gu Caiwei an excuse to buy herself some more time.
Seeing that Lu Jing had no objection, she stood beside the donkey cart and started serving the unfinished steamed buns.
Only this time, everyone intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from Lu Jing, including the three people who were originally standing in front of him, and they all ran behind him obediently.
So Lu Jing became the leader of the team.
He was not too surprised by this. After all, he had just demonstrated his "magic skill" and killed a protector of Sanhu Hall while standing still. He also scared away Song Zhongwen and others with a look. The image of a peerless master had been successfully established. Woke up.
It's normal for everyone to be in awe of him.
But as long as you get along with him for a while, you will know how approachable he is, especially standing in the ranks of the proletariat, Lu Jing feels particularly comfortable.
While thinking about Lu Jing, he looked back at the man named Bai, and nodded to the latter. Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and he quickly nodded to Lu Jing, trying his best to put on a smile on his face.
Then Lu Jing stopped refusing. He knew that if he didn't lead others, they probably wouldn't pick them up either, so he walked up.
Gu Caiwei subconsciously shrank her head back, but thinking of the decision she had made, she tried to straighten her body and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Young Master Lu, how many do you want?"
"Oh, two will do." Lu Jing also wanted to take a few more. After all, he had just helped Gu Caiwei, and it was only natural that he would eat a few steamed buns from her.
But when he thought that there were many people queuing behind him, and that Song Zhongwen had just run wildly and scared some people out of their hands before they could eat the steamed buns, Lu Jing gave up the idea.
They all come from poor families, and many of them don't even know what mutton tastes like. As a modern person, he is really embarrassed to compete with others.
So Lu Jing only took the two that were supposed to be given to him and ate them on the spot.
I have to say, this steamed bun tastes pretty good, with a thin skin and lots of stuffing, especially the mutton. It is much more generous than a certain instant noodle made from a cow that has been used for fifty years. The meat juice drips from your mouth after you take a bite, which really satisfies your cravings. , Lu Jing swallowed it all three times.
Then he walked back to the hut in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
He was lucky today. He caught up with a third-rate master who was willing to fight with his bare hands. Lu Jing was able to take the opportunity to consume a lot of internal energy, but this did not mean that he could relax.
After all, compared to the internal energy consumed, there is more internal energy left in his Dantian.
Lu Jing thought it was easy before, because the more acupuncture points he opened, the more internal energy was refreshed in his Dantian. As a result, Lu Jing once thought that whatever state he was in, the internal energy of the corresponding state would emerge from his Dantian.
But as he fought with people several times, he gradually realized that the internal energy in his Dantian seemed to be much more than that of people in the same realm. So Lu Jing thought about it again and found out what the problem was.
When he was ignorant, he was able to knock Qin Xiaotou and Fang Zijing away, which meant that the internal energy in his Dantian at that time was at least as much as that of third-rate masters. When he reached the third-rate realm, he could compete with the same realm. When the Six Heroes fought against each other, each of the Six Heroes also came and flew, so at that time, his Dantian contained at least as much internal energy as a second-rate master.
And now... Lu Jing also took a breath of cold air, good guy, doesn't this mean that the internal energy in his body is as much as that of a first-class master.
No wonder it was becoming more and more difficult to consume. Even though he had acquired the moves and Qinggong and started to build and strengthen his own donkey cart, he still couldn't spend all the terrible money in the room.
Could it be that... I really have no choice but to take that path?
Lu Jing's face didn't look very good, and he remembered the last conversation with Can Nian in the book.
After asking about all the ways to actively consume internal energy, he asked again if there were any other ways.
Can Nian's expression in the book was a bit strange, but he finally nodded and said, "Yes, take supplements."
"Double cultivation?"
"It is not dual cultivation. Dual cultivation is a cultivation method in which yin and yang blend and the mind and spirit are unified, thus benefiting each other. However, the requirements are too demanding. It should be noted that it is easy to unite the body, but it is too difficult to unite the spirit.
"Even if you can find a woman with whom you love each other and practice dual cultivation together, things like love will fade over time and be consumed by daily trivial matters. By then, the effect of your dual cultivation will also be reduced. This is also the reason why most people will not choose this method of cultivation even though they know that dual cultivation will progress quickly in the early stages.
"But the harvesting is different. They are all cultivated with the help of another party. The harvesting does not require so many harsh conditions. As long as you find the furnace cauldron, you can absorb the internal power of the furnace cauldron for your own use.
"It's just that this kind of cultivation method is harmful to others and benefits oneself. It is too sinister. The cultivation of the cauldron that has been repaired is often lost and difficult to recover. It is despised by people in the martial arts world. Only those unscrupulous guys in the devil's way may adopt this method to cultivate. practice."
"Then where can I find such a... female devil?" Lu Jing continued to ask.
"What I said back then was that there was a martial arts organization called the Paradise Palace. The heirs were all women. They were hidden in the Qin Tower and the Chu Pavilion. They were proficient in the art of disguise and could transform into thousands of people. Few people have seen their true appearance. Because of this, Zhengdao has been unable to do anything with them, and I can’t guarantee whether they are still there now.”
After finishing speaking, Can Nian in the book advised again, "I don't know why you want to consume your internal energy, but I hope you can still listen to my advice. The methods I mentioned before are all the right ways. As long as you are willing to spend time and work hard, You can only have too little internal strength, never too much, and the latter method...it is easy to lose it, but it is difficult to repair it again."
…………
Lu Jing compared his cultivation progress with the total amount of internal energy in his Dantian. He felt that if this continued, he would be able to withstand the pain. I'm afraid he would have to consider the last method, otherwise he would have to wait until Ren Du's second channel. If they are all penetrated and the internal energy is endless, then he will be in big trouble.
Of course, if there was really no other way out, Lu Jing would never want to make a cauldron for others.
He is not worried that his inner strength will be sucked away and nothing will be left, because his inner strength was not practiced but refreshed.
But even if the body is fine, the mental insult is real.
So what else can be done? How can he use up the remaining internal energy every day until he can practice the Crazy One Hundred and Eight Staff to a sufficient level to achieve a balance of internal energy in the body?
Lu Jing was thinking hard while chopping wood. After about half an hour, Lu Jing didn't come up with the answer. However, he noticed that Gu Caiwei, who had already finished serving the mutton buns, did not leave the charcoal kiln, but stood at a distance from him. Not too far nor too close, looking at him anxiously.
