[Ugly Cow, the third day of April]
The entrance to the cave was sealed as is, and a protective array was deployed.
I chose a place against the mountain and leeward to build a bamboo house, with a bamboo forest on one side and grass on the other. The three-story grass and trees weeding method is very efficient.
The grass and tree essence beads are fed to the Ice Beetle King, and the grass ash is accumulated. When the bamboo house is built, it can be used to cultivate the spiritual field and fertilize it.
This place is not suitable for growing spiritual grain. You can try spiritual wheat. Grandpa still has many seeds in his storage bag.
In addition to Bigu Pills, I also bought Lingmi Lingcai and Monster Meat Dried. The savings can last for a year.
We must not be content with the status quo, we must not slack off, and we must have a sense of crisis.
The daily practice schedule is as follows:
Meditate during the ugly hour of Zi, boxing at Yin hour, draw talisman at Mao hour, chop bamboo to build houses from Chen hour to noon.
In the untimely period, he carved the magical stone, in the Shen and You periods he practiced martial arts, and in the Xu period he learned the formations.
Watch thunder at Haishi, practice Xun, keep a diary, and read to relax your mind.
Combination of movement and stillness, diligence without hesitation.
…
[Ugly Cow, the ninth day of May]
After the bamboo house was built, I opened two plots of land in front of the house and surrounded them with fences, with fire thorns and ice thorns on each side. Tomorrow I would reclaim the wasteland to plant spiritual wheat.
The cultivation of spiritual consciousness has steadily increased, and the making of talismans has become more and more proficient, but the chiseling of the divine machine stone has not been successful.
The Kuang Lei Body Training Technique is getting better and better, and combined with the Five Elements Returning True Skill, the body becomes stronger and stronger, and I feel full of energy even if I don't sleep every day.
Cut off the water with three swords and achieve small success, chase the stars with one step and achieve great success.
Due to Ye Shiming's experience, both Chaotic Soul Chao and Liaoyuan Hundred Spears Technique have reached the peak of their realm, but they are still a little short of reaching the master realm.
The five spells have also reached three levels, among which the sharp edge technique has reached the third level and encountered a bottleneck.
Today, I decided to take a rest.
A row of shelves was built in the bamboo house to sort out grandpa's belongings, books and slips.
In addition to a few seeds, my grandfather left behind a hundred volumes of human classics and history, as well as more than ten books and jade slips related to weapon refining and farming.
Books and seeds are the best things my grandfather left me, and they are more precious than those magic weapons and spiritual stones.
I discovered a good recipe for wine-making, and there are grains and wild fruits everywhere, so I can try it out. Once I become proficient in wine-making skills, I can make spiritual wine.
Grandpa’s storage bag contains four-season berry seeds, nine-grade spiritual fruits, which ripen once a season and are best used to brew spiritual wine.
The books and slips given to me by Xie Jingshan were very miscellaneous. They were all piled up on bamboo shelves. There were more than two thousand volumes, covering the six arts of cultivation and various introductory methods of miscellaneous studies.
Qu Dao, Insect Scripture, medical skills, corpse ghost demon Dao, puppet mechanism, etc., and even methods of tailoring clothes and boots, disguising oneself and changing one's voice.
I found a book called "Practical Formation from Getting Started to Being Buried" with a weird name and detailed content.
A book called "Five Elements Escape Talismans" contains five kinds of talismans for escape. It is quite interesting. You can take it with you to study.
The room is full of books, and I am very happy.
I didn’t realize that I was here to suffer, but that it was a gift from heaven that allowed me to focus on my practice without any distractions.
The only depression is that there is no one to accompany me, so I can only talk to Xiao Lu every day.
Fortunately, I still have Xiaolu with me.
…
[Ugly Cow, May 30th]
Damn mice!
When the thorn fruit was about to ripen, when he came back from watching the thunder, most of it was eaten by rats.
In a fit of rage, a rat hole was found, the Dacheng Peak Chaoshun Chao blew, and the rats came out in a frenzy, killing each other and wiping them all out.
The rat corpse was buried in the newly opened spiritual field for fertilization, and some spiritual stone residues and spiritual fruit seeds were found in the rat hole.
After comparing it with the book, I found that there are several nine-grade spiritual gourd seeds planted in the corners of the house. When mature, they are excellent for holding spiritual wine.
You need to speed up your formation learning. In addition to rats, there are other small beasts in the valley. Although they are not first-class monsters, their destructive power cannot be underestimated. You must try to protect the spiritual field.
Nowadays, the only way to set up the formation is to rely on talismans or spiritual stones. Spiritual stones have many uses and should not be wasted. Try using talismans first.
In the "Ten Methods for Making Talisman Paper" found in the house, one of the methods is to use spiritual bamboo to make paper. The spiritual energy of the bamboo in the valley is weak, so I don't know if it is feasible.
In short, I will go to the bamboo forest every day to water with Yunyu Jue and give it a try.
If it works, you won’t have to worry about the talisman paper.
It's just that there isn't much talisman sand in stock. According to the speed at which I draw talisman every day, it's only enough for a year.
…
[Ugly Cow, June 16th]
Using talismans to create formations has failed one after another. The formation method is really difficult to learn!
The surrounding small animals seem to have communicated with each other, and at night they come together to steal food in my field.
They even fought to seize the possession of spiritual plants, but they did not take me, the owner of the spiritual field, seriously at all.
That's too much!
Fortunately, I have other options.
Yesterday, I successfully carved a magic stone seal. I want to learn from the scarecrow's method of deterring crows and make a puppet to stand in the field to scare these little beasts.
Puppet manufacturing is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and every part is very precise and requires careful polishing.
I was thinking, I just want it to make noise to scare the little beasts, so it doesn’t have to be so troublesome.
But I also thought, since it takes so much effort to make, it would be a waste to just scare the little beasts. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could water the spiritual field by myself every day?
Give it a try!

[Ugly Cow, August 2nd]
Dad, I have brought shame on our family of carpenters.
It took more than a month, but the puppet was so ugly that I wanted to dismantle it and was reluctant to part with it.
Although it is ugly, it is very intimidating. If you put it in the field and wave its eight arms, the little beasts will not dare to come again.
The puppet has a divine machine stone as its core and needs to be controlled by my divine consciousness to move.
After reading books related to the puppet mechanism technique, I discovered that in order for the puppet to move on its own, it is necessary to inject the soul of the beast into it in order to execute simple commands.
Only monsters of the ninth level and above have beast souls. There is nowhere to find them, so we can only give up.
In addition, the two lines of poetry on Xiaolu's body can be fused into ink and turned into words to communicate with me. It has mastered this method for the first time, and the first word it said to me was...ugly!
The puppet I made can make Xiaolu speak, so my work will not be in vain.
But who said that puppets can't have eight arms?
…
[Yinhu, the tenth day of the first lunar month]
I almost died, and I didn’t really come back to life until today.
The incident happened three months ago. It had been a long time since I watched ******Mangjue reach the third level peak on the cliff. I had some enlightenment and tried to break through on the cliff.
At the moment of breakthrough, the sharp edge triggered thunder, penetrated the barrier of Yinshan Formation and struck me with a blow.
If the barrier hadn't dissolved 99% of the power, I would have died.
Even so, I still lay on the edge of the cliff for a month, unable to feel anything from the neck down and blind.
I want to live, not die!
When I came here, I spent a lot of money to buy good healing elixirs. Fortunately, I had a puppet given by Mo Baichun.
I used my consciousness to control the puppet to open the jade ring, and then I was able to take the healing elixir and run the "Crazy Thunder Body Forging Technique" with all my strength to digest the thunder energy in my body.
After holding on for a breath, I came to life. My eyes were completely white and I still couldn't see anything.
When I was blind, I couldn't read, make talisman formations, or practice martial arts.
I couldn't do anything except meditate and practice. At first, I was panicked and cried bitterly. I was afraid and helpless. I hid in the house and was in panic all day long.
Finally, I convinced myself that this is the world of cultivation, and there must be a way for me to see the light again, as long as I don't give up.
I began to perceive my surroundings with my spiritual consciousness, and my perception became increasingly clear from the outline of the lake.
Pick up the spear and hatchet again, listen to the wind and judge the position, and practice martial arts again.
The thunder continues all day long, and it is extremely difficult to judge by listening to the wind, but I will not give up.
Day after day, farming and practicing are no different from usual.
It's just that besides the jade slips, I can't bear to read anymore. I don't want to share the difficulty with others.
What Elder Li said is right, the one who strengthens himself is in heaven.
After practicing the Crazy Thunder Body Training Technique today, my spiritual energy surged, and the five levels of Qi training were completed, and I suddenly regained my sight.
I never cried with joy, and only had small waves in my heart. This suffering has made me feel calmer day by day.
…
[Yinhu, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month]
Today is the Lantern Festival. I strung the little green on a stick and wandered around the valley to celebrate the festival.
The spirit wine is well brewed and tastes good, but it’s a pity that no one shares it.
During the festive season, I miss my loved ones even more. I make lanterns with my own bamboo paper and let them fly. I miss them...
In the past few days, I have thought back to that day when I was struck by thunder and checked my physical condition. Unknowingly, I have gained a lot.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on it, and hardships eventually lead to gains.
There are four physical changes.
One is the eyesight. Unlike the past when observing lightning and having no time to catch the lightning, the speed of lightning slows down slightly in the eyes, and gradually small lightning can be discerned without being dazzling.
The second is to train the body, increase the strength, and the skin can compete with the wind-chasing gun. There are armor-breaking runes on the gun, and it can tear the skin with all the strength. A thunder crack can bear the pain of a year of physical training. I am a little tempted.
The third is the sea of consciousness. Every day I think about where the thunder comes from, and I have some understanding. There is an extra thunder in the sea of consciousness.
The fourth is a magic spell, which is accompanied by thunder. When metal generates water, thunder is generated, so the fourth level of sharpness art and the third level of cloud and rain art are combined, and the thunder consciousness is used as a guide.
I thought it was a fantasy, but after trying it every day and thinking about how it works, I was actually able to create a magic spell.
Gathering clouds creates rain, and the rain acts as a sharp point, and when it hits the ground, it explodes with thunder, which lasts for three to five seconds without stopping. It is extremely powerful. I named this method 'Cloud Thunder Breaking'.
The talisman sand is in a hurry, maybe I should go out and take a look, but I haven't dug up a single spiritual stone. There are not many spiritual stones left with me and cannot be exposed. How to buy the talisman sand is a problem.
…
[Yinhu, February 2nd]
Someone is destroying the formation at the entrance. If you don't return, this article will be the last!
