The waste she became the first array mage

Taxue, who had not been seen for a day, finally came back, and Li Yiru cried and hugged her in her arms.

Taxue didn't understand why, but he could feel her sadness. He made a purring sound, licked her tears and comforted her.

Li Yirou cried silently for a while, pulled herself away from the fear, and comforted herself.

Wang Xiuling was her colleague and superior. She was assigned the good job because she was incompetent and couldn't keep it. It was good enough that the other party didn't blame her for losing the reward.

Besides, Zhao Jinfan didn't have the slightest fear or respect for Wang Xiuling herself, so what could Aunt Xiuling do?

This time she was careless. If there is such a good opportunity again, she can find a deserted place to put the things into the space first, leaving less for him to snatch away, so as to prevent him from returning empty-handed and targeting her.

Now that she is so strong, she can run at will with a hundred or eighty kilograms of flesh on her back, but facing Zhao Jinfan, she is powerless to fight back.

When the opponent's fist came towards her, she could clearly see the trajectory, but for a moment she felt like she was nailed to the spot. When she reacted, she wanted to dodge but couldn't.

Li Yiru thought that perhaps the ability to cope with the situation could only be acquired after practicing. The most urgent thing now was to successfully draw the Qi into the body and become a real cultivator.

After analyzing the situation, Li Yirou returned to her usual gentle and obedient self and took the initiative to apologize to Wang Xiuling. Maybe if she knew, she could get her lost property back.

Taxue seemed to be worried about her and followed her out of the house.

"Aunt Xiuling, I was wrong just now. Someone robbed Elder Feng's reward on the road, and I lost six low-level spiritual herbs. I'm just unhappy for the time being, so please don't take it personally."

Wang Xiuling couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Li Yiru carefully. This child's character is really extraordinary.

Except that he does not practice every minute like others, there is nothing wrong with him. At such a young age, he is able to be so insightful, humble, and sensible.

This made her think of her past self, who was also focused on other things, which ended up leaving her with many regrets.

"Xiao Rou is very good. It's fine as long as she's fine." Wang Xiuling praised, "Do you know why I always urge you to practice?"

"Do you want me to avoid being bullied by others?" Li Yirou realized this time that menial disciples were not taken seriously by the cultivators at all, and the contempt of the Deacons' Hall was nothing compared to that.

"I'm lucky that I didn't lose my life while robbing something." Wang Xiuling's eyes were filled with pain. "Xiao Rou, no one is willing to make decisions for you as a chores disciple. Fortunately, no one in the sect will hurt your life."

Li Yirou originally didn't want to swallow this anger and thought Aunt Xiuling might be able to find a solution, but in the end she still asked her to accept it.

“Maybe one day, we might encounter more powerful cultivators who will annihilate small sects like ours. In the eyes of high-level cultivators, we are like ants, and we won’t even have time to escape before we are crushed by them.” Wang Xiuling continued.

"Or maybe there will be a beast tide that will destroy the sect completely."

"The environment here is good, but you may not be able to survive safely. It all depends on your cultivation. You can only survive if you are strong."

"But to become strong, you must not fear life and death, and fight bravely."

"But I think it's worth it. At least I won't regret it. This way you can do what you want. No one can help you all the time or protect you forever. Do you understand?"

Li Yiru was moved by her story and remained silent for a long time. She didn't know that there were so many dangers in the world of cultivation. No wonder Minjing asked her if she had made up her mind to come.

"I understand, Aunt Xiuling." She nodded heavily. It was lost, so what else could she do? She stopped worrying about it.

"It's just..." Li Yirou still expressed her difficulties, "I can't absorb any of that spiritual energy. The more I chase them, the faster they hide."

Wang Xiuling also recalled the feeling she had when she first drew the Qi into her body, but she could no longer find that memory. "I can't remember what state I was in at that time."

She was lost in her memories. Li Yirou only saw a bit of sadness in her eyes. After a long while, she seemed to have thought of something. She couldn't help but curl her lips and spoke, "Practice requires you to contain the spiritual energy and guide it, rather than just suppressing and controlling it. This may be counterproductive."

Li Yirou just kept repeating "tolerance, tolerance", as if she was about to grasp something, but it slipped away again.

She lost her usual thoroughness and did not say hello to Wang Xiuling. The only two words in her mind were "tolerance".

After returning to the house, he no longer cared about stepping on the snow. He just sat on the mat, closed his eyes, and began to sense the spiritual energy.

The five-colored light spots were still floating and swaying around. Li Yirou guided them again, getting closer to her.

A small green light suddenly changed direction when it was about to enter her body.

This time, Li Yirou was not discouraged or impatient. She patiently pulled it and waited for it to approach her little by little.

When it touched her skin, he wasn't eager to press it into her body.

Just touching it a little bit, until the small green dot of light slid against her skin and then naturally merged into her body.

After entering the body, the next step is to introduce the spiritual energy into the Dantian to be truly successful.

However, that bit of spiritual energy did not cooperate and kept moving up and down in the meridians. Li Yirou had no choice but to continue to guide it patiently, letting it slowly move along the meridians towards the dantian.

When it finally stopped running around and merged into Dantian, Li Yirou felt refreshed. The first step of drawing the Qi into the body was finally completed!

This bit of spiritual energy was hard-earned, and Li Yiru continued to practice, hoping to refine it and make it truly hers.

She controlled this little bit of spiritual energy, and it flowed from her dantian to the twelve meridians throughout her body and then returned to her dantian. Only then was a big cycle truly completed.

Li Yiru discovered that the originally green light spot became very small after she refined it, as if it had been filtered and purified, filtering out the impurities and leaving only the purest spiritual energy.

Green represents wood, and it was also the color that showed the strongest intensity when measuring her spiritual roots, indicating that wood aura has a high affinity with her.

At the same time, this spiritual energy finally became a part of her body. Not only did its color become slightly white, but it was also easy to control.

This success inspired Li Yiru, so she tried again and guided the spiritual energy into her body again.

But this time she was met with repeated failures, and she could only control the spiritual energy in her dantian again and start the cycle again.

Not long after, the spiritual light spot disappeared in the meridians, and a new green light spot was once again introduced into her dantian.

Li Yiru guessed that perhaps her current level of cultivation could only absorb so much spiritual energy.

Recalling what was said in the book, one must first store up the spiritual energy that the Dantian can accommodate, and at the same time continuously circulate it to widen the meridians, so as to accommodate the spiritual energy to the maximum extent.

And because Li Yiru has five spiritual roots, she needs to successfully introduce all five kinds of spiritual energy into her body, and then continuously compress the spiritual energy until her dantian is full before entering the next level of cultivation.

This is the difficulty of the five spiritual roots. If it is a single spiritual root, one only needs to comprehend one kind of spiritual energy. At this moment, one is already widening the meridians and compressing the spiritual energy, challenging to enter the first level of Qi Refining.

Li Yiru recalled for a moment. When her spiritual roots were measured, only her wood spiritual root was prominent. The other spiritual roots were vague and difficult to comprehend.
