"I'll go to the back mountain of the academy to catch a snow chicken and roast it later. It's fine without the snow chicken and hare. On this snowy day, I have to barbecue and drink two glasses of soju." After breakfast, the master looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile.

"Okay, disciple, go to the back mountain for a walk. Maybe if you are lucky, you can catch a few more and come back."

Although Li Xiuyuan's current cultivation level is low, he is an expert at hunting. This is a habit he developed in the back mountain of the small Taoist temple. Whenever the old Taoist priest felt that he was tired of living, he would let him go to the back mountain.

"Your legs are inconvenient. I let you go hunting in the back mountains because I want you to practice slowly. Don't let your bones and muscles become useless because you stay in the academy. Take your time and don't be too vigorous...

"

Seeing Li Xiuyuan take out the wooden bow, the master shook his head: "This bow is too light for you, use this one!" After saying that, he turned around and went into the house to get an iron bow and a bag of iron arrows and handed them over.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I have wanted an iron bow for a long time. I was so focused on practicing in the imperial city that I forgot about it. Thank you, teacher!"

Considering the relationship between Li Xiuyuan and Overlord Chen, wanting an iron bow is really a trivial matter. As he said, he was busy practicing and copying scriptures with his eldest grandson, so he had no time to think about these things.

There is a small stream coming from the mountain behind the academy, and a small wooden bridge on the stream connects the back mountain and the academy. At first glance, they are two distinct worlds.

Because of this small bridge, the back mountain is a world of dense forests, sky, and ancient trees. At this time, not to mention snow chickens and hares, there will be no shortage of tigers, wolves, and pythons. Students in the academy go to the mountain to practice every year.

.

On the one hand, I practice cultivation, and on the other hand, I look for the elixir that can help me break through.

Li Xiuyuan walked slowly in the snow, crossing the small bridge connecting the two worlds, and his speed couldn't help but become even slower.

Although the pain on the leg no longer hurts, the Qi pulse is still blocked and walking is inconvenient. Xindao College is on holiday, why are you, the dean, still here?

Please leave early. Let the magic talisman in my body heal this leg injury as soon as possible. Let me go crazy all over the world and dig into the deep mountains and old forests in the back mountains. Maybe I can pick up a few elixirs and come back.

Honor you.

But this was all his wishful thinking. Now that his injury was cured, the dean never appeared again.

But as long as you are walking, no matter how slow you are, you will always arrive at your destination. He has already put away the wooden bow. It is an object left by the old Taoist priest and cannot be thrown away.

After putting on the iron bow, he felt eager to try. He thought that this arrow would have shot at least two hundred feet in the past, right? Even the snow chickens and hares that he saw with his eyes might not be able to escape from his palm.

The farther you go into the mountains, the colder the climate becomes. In such weather that can freeze a dog to death, it is said that it is difficult to see small animals. However, because the mountains here in the academy are getting higher and higher, the small animals in the mountains will also eat when they are hungry.

When you go out to find something to eat, just like a human being.

This was the first time Li Xiuyuan came in, and he looked up at the old tree that was almost within reach, thinking that when my feet were healed, I would have to climb up to take a look. With infinite hope in his eyes, he didn't care about the chilling atmosphere in the sky.

As the temperature between heaven and earth dropped slightly, a tense and depressing atmosphere also enveloped Li Xiuyuan. He also knew that he could not go further in. If he encountered a monster more powerful than him, he would be sent to his door.

Delicious.

In the tense vigilance and search, Li Xiuyuan began to walk back along the edge of the path, looking at the dense forest that blocked the sky and the sun, thinking that I would have to conquer it after I entered the golden elixir.

Thinking of this, I felt a lot more relaxed.

In the mountains next to the creek, there is no dense forest cover, only thick snow and the tinkling sound of the stream that is not completely frozen. It sounds very comfortable, as if the master was playing the harp.

The wind blew through the woods in the mountains, whistling and lowing, as if someone was crying in the mountains. Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked into the depths of the forest, listening carefully to the details of the whistling sounds, and said softly: "There's something going on.

!”

The murmur in the forest wind finally revealed the truth. Li Xiuyuan bent his bow and drew the arrow, and only heard a "buzz!" sound. An arrow shot towards the forest like lightning, whining and whining, towards the woods.

The eating guy…

"Sir...sir where are you?"

Li Xiuyuan returned to his husband's bamboo house and shouted, but did not wait for a response from his husband for a long time.

Could it be that Mr. Xindao is having a rest? Did he disturb him last night? It seems that he will have to move his piano back to where he lives in the future.

While boiling hot water, Li Xiuyuan processed today's harvest. Two snow chickens and three hares, it is estimated that they can be eaten for four or five days without having to go out to find food.

He finally had a lot of time to practice the piano. When it came to practicing the piano, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but look into the living room. He thought that if he didn't wait until the academy started, he could practice this fingering technique more skillfully.

.

Maybe I can even play a song to embellish this lonely life.

It took an hour to clean up the snow chicken and hare, sprinkle it with spices and marinate it, then find a big brazier in the master's house and light a charcoal fire.

When the fire started and the aroma of meat flowed down, the master finally appeared in the living room after smelling the aroma. He looked at the golden snow chicken and said with a smile: "It seems that today's harvest is good, we can eat barbecue for a few days."

.”

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "This disciple's practice can only be done around the outside of the back mountain. After the spring begins, the disciple will break through to the realm of golden elixir and then go deeper."

Compared with when he first came to the academy, Li Xiuyuan's aura has obviously changed a lot. Although he has not broken through yet, it is really amazing to have such a change in just a few months.

The master looked at him and smiled and said: "Don't be impatient. Even if you slowly spend ten years practicing, it will be worthwhile. If you are impatient, you can't eat hot tofu."

"What the teacher said makes sense, and the disciples should obey their orders." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, while taking a jar of medicinal wine brought from the Taoist temple, and gently patted it open. Suddenly, a faint aroma spread in front of the house.

Even in Tianfeng Imperial City, he had never drank this wine. The main reason was that he did not dare to drink it because he was afraid that his realm would be unstable and his realm would be broken if he drank it. But he remembered that the old Taoist priest drank this wine and then left him.

.

As soon as the master smelled it, he couldn't help but reach out and pick up the wine jar and pour himself a glass of wine. He put it down under his nose and smelled it vigorously, and then took a shallow taste.

After a while, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and said in a daze: "Xiuyuan, where did you buy this wine?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he laughed and said: "My master and I brewed this in the Taoist temple. After drinking this wine, he was struck by a lightning... and then he ascended."

Thinking of the old Taoist priest who was as affectionate as father and son, tears filled Li Xiuyuan's eyes.

The old Taoist priest trembled, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp: "Is that so? Don't take this wine away, I'll stay and drink it slowly... In the past thousand years in this world, I haven't heard of anyone

Ascension?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he laughed and said: "My master had the same tone as my teacher before he ascended, but he suffered dozens of thunder tribulations right in front of my eyes, and then a beam of light descended from the sky, and then...

Xiuyuan no longer has a master."

After saying this, regardless of whether the master believed it or not, Li Xiuyuan took another sip from the cup.

"I can't believe it. Xiuyuan, you actually have a master who can ascend through the void and leave. It seems that after drinking the wine you brewed, I will be able to ascend in a short time... If that's the case, I really want to take care of myself.

Thank you."

When the Master said this, there were tears in his smile.

There are so many cultivators in this world who spend their whole lives, but can't find the opportunity to break through the void and ascend. In the end, they have to die under the starry sky, and their cultivation is dust, and dust returns to dust.

"What level of cultivation has Mr. Xiuyuan reached?" Li Xiuyuan thought about what Xiaoyun said to him, thinking that the old man in front of him who could be the second master would also leave early, right?

I thought to myself that I had finally found a gentleman who could teach me how to cultivate Taoism, but I couldn't leave too early like an old Taoist priest.

"My practice? I have even forgotten what state I have reached in my practice. There is no time in this mountain. There are probably many people like me in the academy."

The master looked at him and said calmly, as if he was telling an inconspicuous thing.

But Li Xiuyuan knew that in the eyes of the Master, this inconspicuous matter was a matter of life and death, but it was still too far away for him.

Breaking through to the golden elixir and curing his leg injury are the most important things in front of him.

The master tore a piece of roasted snow chicken and handed it to Li Xiuyuan, smiling: "I guess the dean didn't expect you to have this skill. It seems I have to hide him, otherwise he will capture you and make him wine."

If you can’t brew it, I won’t let you out.”

Li Xiuyuan smiled and poured wine for his wife, then started to eat the chicken. What he didn't understand was that even the smell of the barbecue gave him a feeling of déjà vu.

Could it be that in my previous life, I was a cook who cooked wine and barbecued meat?

After a few glasses of wine, the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger, but Li Xiuyuan cried out in pain. He felt like a fire was burning in his body. The realm that had not been broken through for a long time was like a torrent in the mountains, which could not be stopped.

.

Without saying a word, he picked up a futon and ran under the eaves outside the living room, where he sat on the ground and started practicing the Taixuan Sutra.

Kunlun is majestic, and the mind is pure. The gods fight against the mysterious, and the yin and yang are revealed...the combination of good and evil.

Outside the hall, Li Xiuyuan sat down on the futon, with his five hearts pointing to the sky and his body upright. A ray of golden energy condensed quickly on the top of his head, and there was a faint, sharp wave emanating from it.

Sensing the surge of true energy in his Dantian and feeling the subtle changes in it, his eyes suddenly condensed in the next moment, and the true energy in his Dantian suddenly rushed into the limbs and tendons of his body like a torrent.

The zhenqi in his Dantian was like a small ditch in the mountains that gathered into a stream in an instant. The endless zhenqi washed his injured left leg over and over again, and he even felt a numb and itchy feeling.

The true energy in his whole body was surging, the true energy in his Dantian was continuously and rapidly increasing, the golden true energy on the top of his head was getting thicker and thicker, and the spiritual energy from heaven and earth also surged into his body through the heavy snow and fog.

Enter.

The master sitting in the living room was dumbfounded. What kind of breakthrough is this? Even from the breakthrough of Jindan to Nascent Soul, there is no such big movement?

This guy He Bu is just a breakthrough in the small realm of Foundation Establishment, not even a golden elixir.

The gray Hu Shun trembled for a few times, and finally the master calmed down. He poured himself a glass of wine, thinking that with this guy here, maybe in a few years, he would be able to see the day when he was too exhausted.

Li Xiuyuan's body was trembling slightly, and he could feel that the energy in his Dantian was growing rapidly.

One Sunday, two Sundays...

After the zhenqi in his veins circulated rapidly for two days, Li Xiuyuan's body trembled more and more violently, and the zhenqi in his dantian showed faint signs of being out of control.

"Steady your mind and don't move!"

At this moment, Master's palm touched his back, and a powerful force rushed into him and his body, suppressing the storm in his Dantian.

Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and the Qi in his Dantian suddenly contracted. There was a faint sound of thunder, and the Qi like a wild horse surged again!

A soft sound of "Wow!"

If a chicken breaks out of its shell, Li Xiuyuan has not broken through the realm for a long time and rushes straight up, the first level...the second level.

Golden Qi covered Li Xiuyuan's whole body, and the master's eyes became solemn at this moment. The next moment, his palm shook violently, and another burst of Qi rushed into Li Xiuyuan's body.

The sound of eggs breaking was heard.

With the help of Master, Li Xiuyuan broke through all the way and reached the eighth level of foundation building, where he saw the hope of golden elixir.
Chapter completed!
