Gu Xiaoxing raised the ax again with both hands and dropped it hard. With a "click", the ax blade suddenly penetrated the wood three-thirds of the way.
"efficient!"
Gu Xiaoxing was overjoyed and swung the ax down again one after another. Under the influence of his cultivation, the ax bloomed with sparkling light and wood chips flew everywhere. Originally, a hundred axes could only chop out a missing log, but now ten axes fell down. After that, he stopped in response.
Gu Xiaoxing was also out of breath at this moment. He could feel that although using the method of cultivating one's cultivation to chop firewood would get twice the result with half the effort, one's cultivation would be consumed very quickly, but there was no other way. It was better than not being able to chop firewood. At the moment He could only follow the same pattern and keep falling one ax after another.
The ax bloomed with gleaming white light under the blessing of Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation. It was extremely sharp. He felt that even if it was a piece of iron stone, it could be split into two with this ax blow, but this dark log was. It takes about twenty axes to break it every time. It is stronger than iron and harder than stone.
When the log was finally divided into ten sections, there was a "clang", and Gu Xiaoxing fell to the ground along with the axe. There was no strength in his body, his cultivation was completely wiped out, and he could no longer condense any spiritual power. He lay on the ground. He was gasping for breath on the ground, and he didn't even want to move a finger.
He was about to complain, but suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and he felt a suction force coming from the center of his eyebrows. That familiar feeling made him fearful and angry. It was the soul-eating insect between the eyebrows that wanted to suck his flesh and blood. Feel.
But in an instant, he realized that he and the Soul-Eating Insect were already fellow cultivators. If his spiritual power was exhausted by him, then the Soul-Eating Insect would be empty, and it would naturally need to feed on his flesh and blood to fill the shortfall.
"you dare!!"
Gu Xiaoxing was angry. He had never been so angry before. He immediately roared angrily, "It took a lot of effort to gain so much flesh, but I won't allow you to suck it!"
In his rage, he didn't know where he could squeeze out the strength. Just like the man who was dying of illness, he sat up in shock. Without any hesitation, he started to use the Spirit Control Technique, and desperately began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his own cultivation. To suppress the behavior of soul-eating insects sucking flesh and blood.
As a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into the body, it turned into a little bit of spiritual power and was absorbed by the soul-devouring insect. As expected, the soul-devouring insect no longer continued to suck flesh and blood. It seemed that the spiritual energy from heaven and earth was still more fragrant. This immediately made Gu Xiaoxing greatly Breathed a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later, Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation was finally fully restored, and he felt that full of strength again. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He finally saved the little flesh he had gained with great effort!
"Eh? No! My cultivation level seems to have increased a bit!" Surprised, Gu Xiaoxing restrained his thoughts and confirmed again that compared to before, his cultivation level has indeed increased a bit, "Is it possible that I can practice after my spiritual power is exhausted? Is it more effective?"
This made Gu Xiaoxing think, so to speak... Although Senior Brother Du's punishment is a real punishment, perhaps it also has the intention of supporting the younger generation. He felt that he had always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. When he thought of this, his resentment towards Du Siyu could not help but feel less.
However, Du Siyu has a strange look on his face at this moment. Oh my god, she really just wants to punish Gu Xiaoxing. She doesn't even know the method of cultivation that exhausts her cultivation, so how can she help her? In the end, Yinya Qingcui turned into a secret snort.
He was no longer so depressed. Gu Xiaoxing picked up the ax again, stood a piece of wood on the stake, and with a few strokes of the ax, he split it into two, and then divided it into four again. All the broken wood was chopped into four pieces, and when two baskets were filled, the spiritual energy was exhausted again.
Although Gu Xiaoxing had no strength at all and was unwilling to even move, when a suction force came from between his eyebrows, he immediately gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged to practice and restore his cultivation. He was not willing to give up any flesh and blood to the soul-eating insect. Smoking.
Another half an hour passed, when Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation level returned to fullness, he immediately felt that his cultivation level had increased a little. To his surprise, he even felt that the flesh on his body had grown a little, so he immediately stepped forward and picked up the second one. Two logs.
Amidst Gu Xiaoxing's continuous chopping sounds, as he exhausted and restored his cultivation again and again, the sun gradually faded away. Even though he was recovering faster and faster, from the first half An hour, then less than half an hour, and finally it only takes one stick of incense, but this is already the limit, and it can't be done faster. When he glanced at the sixteen frames of firewood next to him, his face couldn't help but become bitter. .
Although he worked hard to chop wood, he could only chop eight logs before sunset, and he had to chop two more logs to complete the task.
At this time, Du Siyu's door opened and he walked out. He glanced at Gu Xiaoxing and snorted coldly: "You can't even chop a piece of firewood. As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat today. Send these firewood to the inner kitchen immediately." .”
Gu Xiaoxing immediately widened his eyes and was about to have an attack, but when he saw Senior Brother Du's slightly narrowed eyes, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought that the other party was waiting for him to say something rude so that he could take the opportunity to deal with him!
What a poisonous heart!
"What?" Du Siyu raised her eyebrows, "If you have any ideas, feel free to tell them."
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Gu Xiaoxing forced out a smile, cupped his hands and said, "It all follows your senior brother's orders! I will send these firewood up right now!"
Then Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand, put sixteen frames of firewood into the storage bag, and headed towards the top of Shiling Peak as if running away.
Looking at Gu Xiaoxing's leaving figure, Du Siyu frowned slightly and said lightly: "It's quite naughty. This person was brought into the sect by Master Bai and sent to Chaiyuan. I can't force him to expel him. It seems that I have to." Let him suffer some hardships and let him retreat..."
Gu Xiaoxing walked all the way towards the top of the mountain, occasionally seeing pavilions and pavilions filled with spiritual energy. There is also a medicinal garden with yaicao and beautiful flowers that I have never seen before. I also saw a pond with green lotuses swaying in it. You could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing! In the pond water, the fish are swimming happily and blowing bubbles.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes widened, and he swallowed his saliva. He wanted to grab two and roast them, but these places were guarded by sect disciples. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, cruelly refusing to look at them. .
Although this is not the mountain of the Soul-Eating Sect, it is still like a fairyland. As for the mountain of the sect that is too high to reach the top, when Gu Xiaoxing looked up, the mountain was hazy, as if it was covered by fog, and it was difficult to see clearly. That was the inner sect. Outer disciples are not allowed to enter the place where disciples live without permission.
Finally, we arrived at the top of Shiling Peak. There was a large courtyard sitting on the top. A plaque on the courtyard door was engraved with three big characters - Inner Kitchen!
The inner kitchen, as the name suggests, is the place where the inner disciples cook meals. Gu Xiaoxing followed a senior brother into the courtyard. When the senior brother learned that Gu Xiaoxing was a new disciple of Chai Yuan, he suddenly looked strange. Especially when he came to the kitchen and saw the other party taking out sixteen frames of firewood in a row, his eyes showed even more sympathy.
Even the cooks who were busy around him stopped when they saw this scene and showed sympathy.
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing paid no attention to the eyes around him. He was already stunned, and tears of disappointment flowed out of the corner of his mouth. The delicacies of mountains and seas, the food and delicacies, were nothing more than that! Especially when he saw the large pieces of meat on the plate, the brilliance was flowing on them, as if he could ascend to heaven with just one bite.
As if in a daze, Gu Xiaoxing stepped forward step by step, reaching out to grab the meat on the plate, but was immediately slapped down by another greasy hand, and he woke up.
"Junior brother, this is for the enjoyment of the inner disciples. How can you do anything about it? If the superiors blame it, can you bear it?" A cook came forward and said in a deep voice.
Gu Xiaoxing smiled and wiped away the tears at the corner of his mouth, but when he looked at those delicious spiritual dishes, they started to flow again.
"Hey! Fatty Three, you see this disciple is a new disciple and doesn't understand the rules yet. We are all in the same discipline, so don't take it personally."
Another even fatter cook came forward, looked at Gu Xiaoxing with great interest, and continued, "Looking at how thin this junior brother is, he must have eaten a lot of soul-eating insects. These precious souls must have suffered a lot." Food can indeed quickly help junior brothers get rid of the problem of being thin, but after all, the sect has regulations, and even our junior brothers in the kitchen cannot make the decision!"
"But..." The big fat man changed the subject, moved closer, and lowered his voice, "For cooking! There will always be some leftovers, and there will always be leftovers from the spiritual rice cooked every day. You know, even if It's just leftovers. After all, it's extraordinary food. It's not only delicious, but it can also help improve your cultivation. If my junior brother has some spiritual stones..."
At this point, the fat man suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Xiaoxing with his eyes narrowed. His smile looked very honest, but his narrowed eyes gave people a thief feeling. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. .
But at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing had just entered the school. Where did he get the spirit stones? The five spirit stones that were allocated in the name of Master Bai were also used by him for practice. If there were any, of course he would have one thousand and ten thousand. One is willing to exchange it.
It's just a spiritual stone. Things outside the body are not as important as the body.
Seeing the other party's bitter expression, the fat man raised his eyebrows, understood immediately, couldn't help but put away his smile, and said lightly: "Since there is no spirit stone, junior brother, don't think too much, the firewood has been delivered, so please take it back! "
Immediately afterwards, the big fat man muttered in his heart: "I have already condensed my Qi. It must have been a month since I joined the sect. Why don't I still have a penny in my pocket?"
Da Pang only thought that he was a new disciple who had transferred to Chai Yuan, but he didn't know that he was just brought into the sect by Master Bai yesterday.
Gu Xiaoxing showed an embarrassed smile, cupped his hands and said: "Brothers, Gu Xiaoxing is leaving!"
After saying that, Gu Xiaoxing turned and left. However, when he stepped out of the kitchen door, he suddenly paused, rolled his eyes, and whispered in a very small voice: "It's really like Zhenren Bai." As you said, there are countless rare and rare delicacies in the inner kitchen, I must practice diligently and be promoted to an inner disciple as soon as possible, so that I can live up to Uncle Bai's high hopes for me!"
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxing walked out of the door and left. His voice was very low, as if he was deliberately mumbling words to cheer himself up so that no one else could hear him.
But the six cooks in the kitchen were all trembling with fat. They had already reached the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Condensation. No matter how quiet Gu Xiaoxing's voice was, they could not be heard.
When Gu Xiaoxing was far away from the inner kitchen courtyard, Da Pang immediately called all the junior brothers over and said thoughtfully: "What is the origin of this kid? The Master Bai he talks about is... Elder Bai?"
The rest of the brothers stared with big eyes, thinking that it was possible. After all, there was only Master Bai in their Soul Devouring Sect. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
It was the big fat guy who reacted the fastest. He glanced at a junior fellow apprentice and said, "Six Fatty, please go down the mountain for a walk. This kid has an impure mind! I always feel that what he said was meant for us to listen to." Yes, you go to the deacon’s department to check his heels.”
