"What work are you doing?"

"I'm going to chop wood."

"Then I'll build the road!"

"Huh?" Lin Jue thought for a moment, "You can also go chop wood with me."

"That's right! I don't have enough mana right now. I'll build the road and I'll run out of mana after a while. I might as well go chop wood!"

"Um……"

Lin Jue thought differently——

Chopping firewood is actually about swinging a knife, swinging the knife from various angles, and cutting wood at different angles.

This is very useful after going down the mountain, no matter how to deal with goblins, ghosts or people. In addition, skillful chopping of wood actually requires the whole body to use force, and the effect of exercising and consuming energy is also better.

So each of them took a hatchet and climbed straight over Fuqiu Peak to Tianmen Peak. They chopped firewood for a long time without taking a breath. After chopping, they went to Scissor Peak and continued to chop wood.

I don't know how many times I swung my sword, and I don't know how many times I went up and down.

The whole mountain is filled with the sound of decay.

The woodshed is full.

The senior brothers looked at it dumbly and said that they would not be able to finish the burning this year.

From morning to night, I was finally tired.

After eating a bowl of rice, I went to bed.

I slept until noon the next day.

I almost couldn't get up when I got up.

Sure enough, as the ancient books said, there was pain all over the body, and the pain in my legs alone was worse than the first time I took Shenxing Dan. I had to hold on to the wall and walk.

The two of them went out almost at the same time, and looked at each other at the door. They were both extremely weak, with wry smiles on their faces.

"Senior brother..."

"Good morning, junior sister."

"morning……"

Both of their voices were a bit forced.

The next few days were a process of gradual recovery, but also a few days of extreme hunger, with my chest pressing against my back every day.

Lin Jue can even eat two or three bowls of the food cooked by the seventh senior brother. Fortunately, although the Taoist temple is on the mountain, it raises a lot of poultry. There are enough eggs, and a few chickens are also killed for eating, which is guaranteed.

The nutrients needed for the body's recovery, coupled with daily meditation and practice, also warm and nourish the body, and it will gradually recover day by day.

Until one morning again, I woke up and suddenly felt energetic, my body was no longer aching at all, my spirit was no longer tired, but I was full of strength, and I knew that I was completely back to normal.

…

On the peak of Fuqiu.

Lin Jue picked up the heavy hatchet and waved it casually. It felt as light as a wooden knife.

When I cut dead wood again, I was surprised to find that I felt comfortable just by swinging the knife, and there was wind when I cut it with one knife. The branches that were originally difficult to chop and took two or three cuts were broken with just one knife.

Not only that, it was much easier to climb the mountain just now.

As for other aspects, although there has been growth, it is not as obvious as climbing mountains and swinging swords.

This elixir is indeed very effective.

The techniques mentioned in ancient books are indeed useful.

"The effect of this elixir, especially the effect of the first one, is simply too strong." Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder so many alchemists in ancient times did not practice, but just hid and concentrated on refining elixirs. This kind of pill

It’s really fascinating to feel that the pill can bring about obvious changes.”

Even if you add in the process of collecting all the alchemy materials and refining them, it is still fascinating.

It might even add a bit of fun.

In short, at this time, if Lin Jue had a simple knife in hand, he would not have to be afraid if he encountered the strange monkey group on the road that day, even if he was alone.

As for the second one, Lin Jue planned to take it after a while.

Get used to this growth slowly first.

Take the third pill only after the efficacy of the second pill has faded.

…

The inner courtyard of Fuqiu Temple.

An orange cat walked through the courtyard at a leisurely pace, followed by a smaller pony cat, then an even smaller colored raccoon cat, and an even smaller black and white cat at the end.

The one in front of him was a gray-yellow fox with a hint of red. They were arranged extremely neatly, with the same spacing, and they were walking in a straight line.

Suddenly the orange cat stopped and turned its head to look into the distance.

Behind him, the hemp cat, colorful raccoon dog, black and white cat and fox all stopped in sequence, turned their heads in sequence, and looked into the distance.

A group of Taoist priests in Panasonic were having breakfast.

Not in the dining hall, but in the courtyard.

The meal this morning was quite good.

Brother Seven made egg soup with scrambled eggs and threw some dried vegetable leaves and bamboo shoots in it to make rice.

It looks very simple, but in fact it is very rare.

However, from Lin Jue's point of view, it is best to finish it, otherwise even if there is only some soup and water left, it will probably appear in the dinner tonight, mixed with some other things, and mix into a strange taste.

Fortunately, my junior sister's appetite has increased greatly now.

"Lin Jue, have you recovered?" Taoist Yunhe put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"Master restored."

"Just recover. In terms of time, it's your turn to cook this month." Taoist Yunhe said, "Your seventh senior brother saw that you were feeling unwell the past few days, so he helped you cook for two more days.

"

"Is it my turn?"

"yes……"

Many senior brothers also looked at Lin Jue, their eyes either looking at him or a bit wary.

It was Taoist Yunhe who was the most enlightened: "You have been here in Guanzhong for two months, and you should be familiar with the things in Guanzhong. Cooking is very simple, remember to do it on time, and don't forget. Just cook the food and wash the bowls."

"

"knew."

Lin Jue agreed casually.

"Qingyao, please study more. It's your turn next month. You must have cooked at home before, right?" Taoist Yunhe looked at the junior sister.

"Just add water and cook..."

"That's enough!"

Taoist Yunhe nodded repeatedly.

The younger junior sister was still worried.

The bad news is that there is indeed some soup left in this breakfast. The good news is that from now on, the power of the kitchen is in Lin Jue's hands.

So after finishing the meal, he collected the bowls and chopsticks, and Lin Jue took the pot and poured out the pot of soup.

"Junior brother, why did you pour it? You can cook it in rice at night and add some salt."

"..."

As expected.

Lin Jue ignored him.

It does give me a bit of a sense of power.

But if you can use it to improve your own life, it is a good power.

Lin Jue was thinking as he walked into the kitchen house.

The kitchen stove in the temple is not big and has all the internal organs.

Lin Jue looked around to see what was edible.

This is the first meal I have cooked by myself.

Half a jar of white rice is the staple food in Taoist temples every day. The eggs picked up in the morning are all from free-range chickens and are the most commonly eaten meat in Taoist temples. Several jars of kimchi are salty and chewy.

There are some dried bamboo shoots sent by the people down the mountain, which are a common dish here.

There are a few strips of bacon hanging above the head, which looks pretty good.

Lin Jue suddenly saw a small sack made of coarse cloth, so he walked over and opened it. To his surprise, he found that it was wheat he had gotten from Ogawa Village.

"Um……"

Lin Jue was thinking about how dinner would be.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door, it was my junior sister.

The little girl's eyebrows were a little sad, as if she was feeling sad for a month, and she asked him: "Brother, what are you cooking for dinner?"

"Still thinking about it."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Help..." Lin Jue thought for a moment, and there really is some, "Junior Sister's 'Stone Stone' method can turn stones into powder?"

"yes."

"Can you turn something else into powder?"

"It's okay, but it's not as powerful against stones. And it needs something harder." The junior sister stood at the door and said, "It won't work if you ask me to help you beat the meat into puree or stuffing. This spell is not originally

It is used to hurt people, Master said, you have to practice it to a high level before you can use it to hurt people."

"Can wheat turn into flour?"

"Wheat? It should be possible, but wheat husks are not."

"Isn't that just right? It's just like a stone mill, and it saves the effort of going down the mountain to find a stone mill."

"I'll give it a try."

The junior sister came in, grabbed a handful of wheat, held it in her hand, pinched it, and a lot of fine wheat flour washed down, while the wheat husks only cracked and did not turn into powder.

Sift it a little and you'll find the flour.

"Is it okay, senior brother?"

"Okay!" Lin Jue was very satisfied, and then said simply, "This is tonight's dinner."

"Eat this?"

"right!"

"Senior brother! You seem to know how to cook!" The little junior sister stared at him blankly, feeling something was wrong.

"yes."

"..."

The little girl fell silent.

"Junior sister, please hold it for now and treat it like practicing magic." Lin Jue took a piece of bacon and soaked it in water. "It rained yesterday. There should be some mushrooms in the bamboo forest on the mountain. I'll go find some."

"Thank you, senior brother..."

This is what the little junior sister said as she had one more opportunity to practice her spells.

"No thanks."

Lin Jue had already walked out.

It is still the hot season, and fungi are highly prevalent. It is rainy in the mountains, and there are always many fungi.

Lin Jue took the fox up the mountain to take a look and quickly picked up a chicken fir tree.

The little fox became smarter as he grew older. After observing him for a while, he already knew what he was looking for, so he immediately took him to find a few more flowers.

When Lin Jue came back, a bag of wheat had turned into powder. After sifting it through a fine sieve, it became flour.

Lin Jue looked at it and was very satisfied.

Since everyone takes a turn for one month, and this month is their turn, they naturally have to be attentive and focus on improving their own lives.

Lin Jue knows how to cook and remembers some methods.

It just so happened that Guanzhong was already tired of the food.

If it was okay when I was in Shucun, my family was in a tight situation. Without those conditions, the Taoist temple was not short of food and money, and there was no need to pay taxes, so naturally I should pursue more.

It’s just that there were too many things going on every day.

Now, there is nothing better than using the wheat that many villagers in Xiaochuan Village have collected for the first meal.

So I took out the marinated meat and cut it into small slices.

Soak the dried bamboo shoots and cut them into small pieces. I didn’t bother to cut the chicken fir after washing, so I just tore it into strips with my hands. These three can be used as the soup base. They are considered the three delicacies of the mountain. Just look at the ingredients and you don’t have to question the taste.

Then add salt and knead the noodles, and cut into thin slices.

Lin Jue doesn't have the ability to cut ramen noodles, but this noodle dish is also a food that he often eats in his memory.

Noodles are also called bed-covered noodles. Lin Jue’s favorite way to eat them is with a bowl of fresh soup. In my memory, loofah, cucumber and stick vegetables are often used to make soup, especially stick vegetables. The conditions in the mountains are limited and there are not many vegetables.

Senior Brother has grown some loofahs and cucumbers, but for the first meal today, he will make some more.

Lin Jue sat in front of the stove, patiently adding firewood.

No need to light a fire, just breathe out lightly.

"call……"

A flame immediately lit up in the stove.

This is the newly learned fire-breathing method, the authentic fire-moving spiritual method.

At present, the fire that Lin Jue spits out is no different from ordinary fire. It looks similar to the fire-hating technique. However, this is only the beginning of the fire-moving spiritual method, but it is already the upper limit of the fire-hating technique.

When lighting a fire, you can also feel the aura of fire.

"laugh……"

The marinated meat is first fried in oil. The high temperature will bring out the fat and aroma. When the water is added, it will make a sizzling sound. It will become a little whiter as soon as it is put into the pot. Then add dried bamboo shoots, chicken and berries to make a fresh soup, and then slowly add the noodles.

Cooked.

After taking it out of the pot, the dough will be as wide as a bedding.

There are also good meals in the mountains.
