Siheyuan, my new life

Lin Yu did not intend to let the dozens of other puppets comprehend the "Tao" visualization diagram. He did not know whether there was a limit to the number of times the visualization diagram could be used. After all, this was just Taoist Yuxu's own copy. His intuition told him that it was absolutely impossible to use it unlimitedly.

Puppets are tools to serve oneself. Although their loyalty is not a problem after recognizing their master, this visualization picture is a unique item to oneself. In the words of Master Qinglian, it can be regarded as a family heirloom, and it is also one of the foundations of one's family inheritance in the future.

Master Qinglian once joked that Lin Yu could be called one of the richest people in this universe, and that visualization picture could definitely be ranked among the top 20 treasures owned by Lin Yu.

While Lin Yu was still daydreaming, Zhou Tian and Zhou Huang each came in carrying a silver tray that was more than one meter long and half a meter wide. The trays were filled with golden roasted meat pieces that exuded an enticing aroma. Zhou Di, who followed closely behind, came in with a tray that contained two large bowls of jade-like spiritual rice, a jade bottle that was more than one foot high, and a crystal clear jade cup.

Although he had already taken a fasting pill and no longer felt the unbearable hunger in his stomach, when Lin Yu saw the barbecued meat and spiritual rice emitting the tempting aroma, he could not help but saliva in his mouth. He did not hesitate and walked directly to the Eight Immortals Table and sat down on the official hat chair.

Zhou Tian and the other two had already placed the trays in their hands on the Eight Immortals Table. Lin Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

A trace of excitement that could not be concealed appeared on the originally cold faces of Zhou Tian and the other two. They clasped their fists in unison and said "I don't deserve it", then left the rest area together.

Lin Yu didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the three people at all. At this moment, all his attention was focused on the barbecue in front of him. He didn't use the chopsticks on the tray, but directly reached out and grabbed a piece of barbecue and started to eat it.

The barbecue tasted extremely delicious, and as soon as the first bite of meat was swallowed, an imperceptible heat flow rose from the stomach. At first, Lin Yu did not notice the existence of the heat flow, but as he swallowed several pieces of barbecue meat, the heat flow accumulated in the stomach became more and more. When the heat flow accumulated to a certain level, it began to disperse along the meridians of the whole body.

It was not until now that Lin Yu noticed the unusual movement of the heat flow. He knew that this was the spiritual power contained in the monster meat he had just eaten, so he tried to practice the first level of the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" while continuing to eat the meat.

Unexpectedly, this method of multitasking is actually feasible. Lin Yu clearly felt that the heat flow, which was originally just wandering along the meridians, is now like a bullied young wife, obeying his command obediently, following the operating route of the first level of the "Eight-Nine Profound Art" mental method, smoothly passing through the meridians of the whole body, and then merging into the muscles and bones.

Lin Yu finished a whole plate of barbecue before he stopped and let out a long breath. It was not because he was full. In fact, most of the beast meat he had just eaten had been digested and absorbed, so he did not feel full.

Lin Yu reached out and took the jade bottle. He pulled out the cork and a refreshing aroma of wine immediately rushed into his nose. The mouth of the bottle tilted slightly, and a light green wine slowly fell into the jade cup. After putting down the jade bottle, Lin Yu couldn't wait to pick up the jade cup and gently sipped the wine. The soft wine flowed down his throat. In an instant, a spiritual power far exceeding that contained in the monster meat just now appeared in Lin Yu's body. If the spiritual power in the monster meat is a hot flow, then the spiritual power contained in the wine is like a rushing river. He didn't dare to neglect and immediately operated his mind method to control this spiritual power to flow in his body.

This is the spiritual wine "Bi Luo Meng" brewed for him by Master Qinglian himself. In fact, if one wants to drink a large amount of this spiritual wine, one must at least reach the Golden Core stage. However, Lin Yu is currently refining his body, and according to Master Qinglian's instructions, he can only drink three cups at most each time. Otherwise, the spiritual power contained in the spiritual wine is simply not something that a rookie like Lin Yu can withstand.

After two full cycles of operation, the surging heat flow was completely integrated into the muscles and bones. Lin Yu sighed softly. No wonder the master repeatedly reminded him not to drink too much spirit wine. The first time, it is best to divide a glass of spirit wine into twenty portions. He held the wine glass in his left hand, grabbed another piece of barbecue in his right hand, and continued to eat it.

After finishing the wine in the jade cup, Lin Yu also ate up all the monster meat in the other tray.

After walking into the rest area, Lin Yu washed up and changed into a set of top-grade magic weapon-level training clothes and walked out. When he saw the military uniform on his body just now, Lin Yu realized that he still had not really accepted his current identity as a cultivator. Thinking about the fact that he was practicing in a military uniform just now, if he leaked a little breath without paying attention, the military uniform on his body might turn into dust. Although he still had two sets of replacement military uniforms, these things were of great commemorative significance to the original owner, so he should try his best to protect them, which was also an explanation to the original owner.

As soon as they walked out of the rest area, Zhou Tian and the other two came to meet them. Without waiting for them to say anything, Lin Yu directly ordered: "You guys should go to the practice room to continue to comprehend the visualization diagram. I'm going to the spirit stone mine to stretch my muscles and bones now, which can be regarded as a way to adapt to the increased strength." After that, he waved to them, walked into the warehouse, carried three storage bags and left.

In this paradise, Lin Yu is the master of everything. Although he cannot make his words come true due to his low cultivation level, teleportation is still a piece of cake for him. With a thought, he appeared in front of a ten-foot square mine entrance at the outermost edge of the distant mountains. A puppet who received the notification came to Lin Yu almost at the same time. Taking the pickaxe from the puppet's hand, Lin Yu walked straight into the mine.

This is a low-grade spiritual stone vein. In fact, almost all the mountains outside the Dongtian Paradise are filled with low-grade spiritual stone veins. When Qinglian and Taoist Yuxu exchanged the secrets of the upper world for 81 low-grade spiritual stone veins, 9 medium-sized spiritual stone veins, 3 large spiritual stone veins and 1 giant spiritual stone vein, Taoist Yuxu was even more generous, giving 10 times the amount of materials and a large number of rare items.

In fact, spiritual stone veins are not very useful to cultivators like Qinglian and Yuxu, so they usually don't collect them on purpose. Qinglian's cave paradise originally had some, but now with the gift from Taoist Yuxu, Qinglian simply placed most of the veins in the mountains. She didn't expect that after placing so many spiritual stone veins in the mountains, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire cave paradise would increase significantly. As for the rest of the spiritual stone veins, they were stored in the Qiankun bag in the palace storehouse for Lin Yu to use when needed in the future.

Lin Yu walked along the tunnel to the depths of the mine. On the cave wall, there were pearls every few dozen feet to provide lighting. Occasionally, there would be residual spiritual stones that flashed different colors under the light of the pearls. The deeper he went, the more spiritual stones remained on the cave wall. Light green, pink and khaki merged into a charming picture.

This is a vein of low-grade spirit stones of the wood, earth, and fire series. Originally, puppets would come here occasionally to mine some and provide it to the spirit herb garden as nutrients for the spirit herbs.

Now Lin Yu has started to refine his body, and after he has mastered the basics of body refining, he will need to start to refine his Qi. A cultivator needs a lot of spiritual energy to refine his Qi, and the sources of spiritual energy are nothing more than the following: one is to directly absorb the spiritual energy around; the second is to absorb the spiritual energy from spiritual stones; the third is to take spiritual pills, spiritual herbs, and monster meat to obtain the spiritual energy contained in them.

In the Blue Star plane world where Lin Yu is now, there is almost no spiritual energy from the outside world, so the first method is simply impossible; in addition, Lin Yu is an innate five-element body. When he first starts practicing, he must absorb the five kinds of spiritual energy of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth at the same time. Whether it is taking elixirs, spiritual herbs or monster meat, it cannot meet the requirements, so he can only prepare a large number of five-element spirit stones in advance, and high-level spirit stones contain a lot of spiritual power. A rookie like Lin Yu who has just started practicing cannot bear such abundant spiritual power, so he can only use low-level spirit stones.

Generally speaking, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage use low-grade spirit stones, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages use medium-grade spirit stones, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage and above use high-grade spirit stones. As for top-grade spirit stones, very few cultivators use them for daily cultivation. After all, top-grade spirit stones are scarce, and most of them are used by high-level cultivators in seclusion for breakthroughs or healing, as well as in special circumstances such as refining pills, refining equipment, and arranging high-level formations.

When he reached the end of the mine, he could clearly see through the pearl light on the cave wall that there were many different kinds of spiritual stones scattered among the soil and rocks in front of him. Lin Yu began to swing the iron pick in his hand, and mud and stones fell one after another, mixed with spiritual stones of different sizes.

Lin Yu worked non-stop for more than an hour until his arms began to ache. He stopped, threw down the pickaxe and let out a deep breath. After more than an hour of intense labor, the breath that had been churning in his body had finally calmed down. Looking at the pile of earth and rocks he had just mined, Lin Yu bent down and began to sort them.

The light green wood-type lower-grade spirit stones, the pink fire-type lower-grade spirit stones, and the light yellow earth-type lower-grade spirit stones were classified and piled into three piles. After a thorough search to make sure nothing was missed, Lin Yu put the spirit stones he had mined into three storage bags. As for the remaining earth and stones, they would be handled by the puppets specifically responsible for mining spirit stones.

Lin Yu returned to the palace gate with a thought, and threw three storage bags to Zhou Tian who was already waiting here. There would be a special puppet responsible for cutting the raw spiritual stones into standard spiritual stones of one inch long and half an inch wide. He walked into the bathroom in the rest area, washed up briefly, put on military uniform, and took Zhou Huang out of the paradise and returned to Villa No. 12. It was already early in the morning, and Lin Yu lay directly on the bed and fell asleep.
