Ignoring his years of practice, Gu Zuo believes that the amount of spiritual stone absorption plays a more important role. If we take the average of the three sects, this number is about ninety yuan. If we are more conservative and take a lower value, it should be

It's one hundred and ten yuan.

After all, I have been practicing for two and a half years, and the total number of spiritual stones I have absorbed has reached 90 yuan. In terms of efficiency, it is approximately equal to 45 yuan from others. In other words, I still have to absorb about 90 to 100 yuan.

Thirty spiritual stones are needed to break through to the late stage of Qi refining.

Of course, the premise is that the Soul Searching Technique will not cause him too much trouble in breaking through the level of comprehension. This is also the question that Gu Zuo wants to verify the most.

Judging from the speed at which I absorb one spiritual stone in three days, if I set aside four hours for eating and adjusting every three days of practice, I would absorb nine stones per month, which is about a year.

In the past two and a half years, too much time was wasted. This is the bitter result of working hard alone. It is actually not easy to achieve this level.

After much deliberation, I still need to find a place to practice well. It is best to have someone to wait on me to eat, drink, and take care of myself. I will open my mouth and stretch my hands when the meal comes, so that I don't have to waste time and energy on trivial matters in life.

If you are going to make offerings to others, you should not find a family that is prone to getting into trouble, but who can know about this in advance? Even the He family can get into trouble, let alone others.

Therefore, it is best to find a small household that is a little more prosperous and has a spare house. Of course, it is best to bring a backyard to try. After finding it, you can pay the rent and food by yourself, and you will be able to pay for it in a year.

Just seven or eight passes are enough.

As soon as he thought of it, Gu Zuo simply stopped in Xunzhou and asked Yahang about any suitable houses that could be rented. Xunzhou is not big, so the people from Yahang listened to Gu Zuo's request and pretended to be a family.

And this is the only family that meets the conditions.

This is a two-entry courtyard facing the river, surrounded by a half-acre garden at the back. Needless to say, the first two entrances, Gu Zuo fell in love with this garden at first sight. The garden is right on the edge of the Yushui River.

The flowers and plants planted were very ordinary, and it was obvious that no one had taken good care of them. Although the flowers and plants were luxuriant, they were very messy and messy. There was also a willow tree in the corner.

The most important thing is that in the northeast corner of the garden, there is a tiled house that can be lived in.

The person who came forward to contact was a dark-faced man in his thirties, who was called Butler Xue by the Ya family. After Gu Zuo caught the eye, he immediately inquired about the price. After the Butler Xue asked that it was Gu Zuo who wanted to rent, he did not agree at first until the Ya family.

The people nearby said a lot of good things, and they heard that Gu Zuo was renting this garden, not an empty house in the front yard, so he hesitantly agreed.

The negotiated price was 600 wen per month, and the garden and the tile-roofed house would be temporarily occupied by Gu Zuo. The owner would be responsible for cleaning, and other than that he would not be allowed to enter the garden. As for meals, Gu Zuo requested to settle the bill on a per-meal basis.

When you need to eat, you will be notified in advance. He will eat whatever the host eats, but he has to take care of it.

After the negotiation was completed, Yahang helped write the deed. Gu Zuo handed over Yahang's 600 yuan on the spot, paid the housekeeper three months' rent, and officially moved in.

He came out of the back door of the garden and walked along the edge of Yushui for half an hour. When he came back, the housekeeper had already cleaned the tile-roofed house and the garden with a maid. When asked if Gu Zuo had eaten today, Gu Zuo

Shaking his head, he just made a reservation for dinner three days later and paid fifty cents in advance, specifying that he wanted a full meal and chicken, fish and other dishes.

When the housekeeper led the maid out of the garden and closed the small door to the front yard, the whole garden suddenly became quiet. Gu Zuo sat in the garden, looking at the green willows, flowers and plants, and everything in front of him that was vibrant and quiet.

, my heart gradually felt peaceful, and the fatigue and irritability brought about by traveling for more than half a year slowly dissipated, and were melted away by the wickers and green leaves swaying slightly in the wind.

After sitting quietly for a long time, Gu Zuo adjusted his mind properly, entered the tile-roofed house, closed the door, retracted the window lattice, got on the wooden bed, held a spiritual stone in his palm, and began to lie down and practice.

A trace of spiritual power was pulled out from the stone, circled around Gu Zuo twice, and was absorbed into the sea of ​​​​qi. Then there were traces and traces, and then they continued...

In a blink of an eye, it was three days.

Three days later, the spiritual stone in his palm lost its luster and could no longer absorb any spiritual power. Gu Zuo stood up and pushed open the door. At this moment, the sun was tilting to the west, dragging out patches of red fire clouds in the sky, and the scene was very different.

considerable.

After watching for a moment, Gu Zuo pushed open the small door connecting the front yard and saw that the housekeeper and the maid were already waiting in front of the door as agreed. Gu Zuo nodded and invited them into the garden, and the garden immediately began to be cleaned. The two of them moved.

Soon, the cleaning was completed in a short time, and the small half of the cobwebs that had just been formed on the corners of the eaves were rolled up, and the spiders were even found and cleaned up.

The servant woman entered the house, scrubbed the dusty areas, replaced the sheets on the bed with new ones, and then went out with Gu Zuo's bucket of grain relics.

Soon, the food was delivered, including a basin of rice, two plates of vegetarian dishes, a bowl of fish, and a bowl of fresh chicken soup filled with chicken nuggets, all prepared according to Fu Zuo's requirements.

After not eating for three days, Gu Zuo was so hungry that he ate immediately. After eating and drinking soup, the maid came in to clean up the dishes and took out Gu Zuo's old clothes to wash.

Gu Zuo made another reservation for dinner three days later, and also gave him fifty coins. After the servant girl left, he evacuated his muscles and bones in the garden, practiced a set of Ling Fei Fist, then returned to his room, continued to lie down and practice, and absorbed the second piece.

Spiritual stone......

Every three days, Gu Zuo spent a long time in solitary confinement here.

The owner of the house can play the pipa. Sometimes when Gu Zuoyan is lying down and practicing, he can hear the faint sound of the pipa coming from the front yard. Although the sound of the pipa is already very small when it reaches the house, it will not disturb his practice.

But he still borrowed two quilts from the host's house and hung them on the window lattice and door to block all sounds.

He also did not protest against the master's playing, because sometimes when he came out of seclusion and sat in the garden to cool down after eating, he made a big bowl of tea and listened to pipa music, which was an indescribable beauty.

Quite comfortable.

Seeing that three months have passed, Gu Zuo's homework progress was completed on time, and the spiritual power of the twenty-seven spiritual stones entered the Qi Sea, significantly increasing the thickness of his true energy.

It's a pity that half of it has dissipated, and only thirteen and a half pieces can really be integrated into the Qi Sea.

Winter is coming soon, and Gu Zuo is still practicing without leaving home. He has completed half of his training progress. He has absorbed more than fifty spiritual stones, and his cultivation has further improved. Many of the moves in the Spiritual Flying Scripture,
Chapter completed!
