Chapter 911 Improve your cultivation further
After walking around the mountain village, I saw a strange-looking tree in an abandoned yard. The tree was only half a person's height, with long branches and thin leaves. At first glance, it looked like grass. But it exuded a faint fragrance.
A gentle sniff is intoxicating. Li Changxiao exclaimed, walked closer to the tree, and gently peeled off the soil around it. The rhizome was exposed. At the end of the rhizome were small round milky white fruits.
This is the Intoxicating Fruit, a famous delicacy on the list of mountain and sea delicacies. Li Changxiao sniffed it lightly and felt a little tipsy. He said to himself twice, "Wonderful, wonderful."
He had been traveling around the world recently, and what he saw was mostly the hardship and suffering of the world, and he was in a depressed mood. His decision to break through by sleeping this time was fundamentally different from his previous decision to let nature take its course, do what he wanted, and not rush or slow down. He was helpless and had to do it.
Rather than wandering around the world, it is better to break through first and then seek change. But he could not have predicted what the world would look like when he woke up again. If Li Changxiao was really carefree and unrestrained, no matter what happened to the world, it was just a play in his eyes. What in this world could limit him? He just had compassion in his heart and could not ignore it.
Unexploring the "Intoxicating Fruit" unexpectedly was a bit of comfort. Naturally, he was very happy. Li Changxiao picked them one by one, a total of eleven. Each one was the size of a thumb. This fruit was bitter, sour and spicy when chewed raw, and was extremely unpalatable, but after being roasted in the fire, the texture of the flesh changed, becoming sweet, fragrant and crispy, a rare delicacy in the world.
If used to soak wine, it can add more wine aroma. One sip makes people feel like ascending to heaven, enjoying bliss, indescribable beauty, indescribable enjoyment. Li Chang smiled and said, "Great opportunity, great opportunity." Holding the intoxicating fruit, he rushed to the small dilapidated temple.
On the way, I thought about this Anran Village, which was ravaged by the plague and had no trace of people. But more than a hundred years later, it gave birth to such a rare treasure. In this world, although strange diseases are rampant, there may be a good solution. As the saying goes, things will work out when you get to the bridge.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt more cheerful. I also remembered that Bian Huo and Nan Lao Fo had said that there must be a solution. Maybe I don't need to do it myself, and everything will be fine after I wake up.
Li Changxiao laughed at himself: "Li Changxiao, Li Changxiao, do you also think that you are the one and only savior? You run around all by yourself, busying yourself for a while. It may be said that it doesn't matter whether you are there or not. Just sleep peacefully."
Back to the Hemu Temple. Looking at the Hemu statue, which was covered with moss and vines but still looked dignified, he sighed and said, "Perhaps... burying all the gods and Buddhas in the sea is the best solution. If they all contract the immortal disease and become distorted, it would be torture. I... don't want to see that."
He took out his long sword, scraped the moss clean, and tore off the vines. He then used the edge of the sword as a broom and swept the area. He drove out all the snakes, insects, and animals that had made nests in the temple.
Weeds and branches were burned into ashes and scattered around the temple. Li Changxiao didn't care where he would rest. But he had no reason to watch this old friend's temple grow weeds and live with snakes and insects. After a cleaning, it was finally much cleaner.
The temple's windows were broken and the roof tiles were damaged. When the wind blew, a whirring noise was heard, which was very noisy. Li Changxiao cut down trees, replaced the windows, and rubbed the mud to repair the roof.
In this way, it doesn't look like a small temple, but more like a small house. After all the busy work, it was already night. Li Changxiao made a bonfire and then enjoyed the intoxicating fruit happily. Eating the fruit alone always felt something was missing. So he went out in the dark and caught a pheasant, a frog, and a poisonous snake.
The poisonous snake is earthy yellow with a triangular head, and it is extremely poisonous. The locals call it the "broken-limb snake". It likes to hide in the branches and leaves, and suddenly attacks passers-by. Once bitten by it, if the bitten part is not cut off immediately, life will be in danger. Therefore, it is called the "broken-limb snake".
Few people know that this snake is a rare delicacy, with firm and elastic meat. The pheasant is even more aggressive, with sharp teeth. It is not afraid of people and takes the initiative to attack. Li Changxiao pinched the pheasant's wings. The pheasant was not big and very lean, so the meat should be old. If you have bad teeth, you can't eat it. The frog is about the size of two palms and has been born for some time.
Li Changxiao prepared the ingredients and stewed a perfect pot of One Dragon and Two Phoenix Soup. Then he added the Intoxicating Fruit. The milky white soup instantly turned golden. The taste was truly wonderful.
Li Changxiao sucked up every last drop of soup. After finishing the meal, he stretched himself lazily, feeling relaxed and tipsy. It had been a long time since he had tasted such delicious food. The taste was unforgettable. Li Changxiao yawned, feeling full and ready to get down to business.
He walked behind the clay statue of the mother river, curled up and lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. A wonderful rhythm spread out. He was originally in the early stage of fusion, but his perception had reached the middle stage of fusion. In the dream space, the spiritual energy was better than when the spiritual energy was at its peak. There was a constant supply of spiritual energy, which made his practice easier.
This breakthrough was a bit impatience. If Li Xundao hadn't been sick and the world hadn't become chaotic, Li Changxiao might have taken his time, traveled for a few hundred years, and waited until he was in the mood to make a breakthrough.
Li Changxiao shortened the process, and realized and practiced in his dreams. He had already mastered the Dao he practiced, and now he was realizing it in his dreams, hoping to take a step further. Although overall, this breakthrough can be considered impatient. But it does not mean that Li Changxiao is not walking steadily.
Time passed. The grass and trees grew wildly, and ten years passed in a flash. Li Changxiao suddenly opened his eyes. Although he had some insights into his cultivation, it was still not enough to break through. Li Changxiao thought to himself, "In this Dharma-Ending Age, cultivation is already very difficult. I want to break through in a short period of time, but I'm afraid it will be unstable, so I'll slow down." He closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
