The waste she became the first array mage

What a bad memory she has!

In the past, when she was immersed in something, she would easily forget about other things. Li Yiru missed the mobile phone in her old world so much that she could set daily reminder alarms and so on, and would not be so flustered.

When he ran back to the dining hall, he saw Wang Xiuling had already cooked the dishes and was sitting aside to rest.

"Aunt Xiuling, are you okay?" She was worried. "I wanted to use the water diversion technique to irrigate the land, but it failed and delayed me for some time."

"I'll pay attention. It won't be too late later."

Seeing that Wang Xiuling had prepared meals for both of them and kept them warm in a small casserole, he felt warm in his heart, but he was worried whether she would be tired.

Wang Xiuling still had a gentle look on her face, "It's okay, I feel much better today."

As she spoke, she took out a small drum that was half the size of her palm from a low-level storage bag. There was a short pointer in the middle of the drum and a small wooden hammer on the side. It had a unique shape.

"This is a bell. I set two times for cooking. You can take it with you so that you can have a reminder."

"Okay. This helps me a lot." Li Yirou didn't hesitate to take the bell in her hand and looked at it over and over again for a while.

There was a faint engraving of the twelve hours on it, and the pointer moved at an extremely slow speed. When it reached the set hour, the gavel would strike.

With the bell hung on her waist, some disciples happened to come for lunch. Li Yirou prepared food for them, and after everyone left, she ate with Wang Xiuling. After they cleaned up, she went back to finish watering the fields.

Only then did he calm down and practice the water-drawing technique again.

It is not difficult to practice, but most of the time is spent on the circulation of spiritual energy.

Even if you only absorb one kind of water spiritual energy, it will take half an hour, and some of the spiritual energy impurities will be removed, and another part will be absorbed by the meridians, and there will be very little left when it returns to the Dantian.

Why can't it be used when the spiritual energy is directly inhaled into the dantian? Li Yirou thought so and couldn't help but try it. It actually works!

The water spirit that directly enters the dantian is a complete light spot, and can also attract more lake water. Li Yirou even scooped up a small handful of water and poured it into the vegetable garden.

She figured it out herself and concluded that the Great Circulation was to improve one's body functions and widen the channels so as to absorb more spiritual energy in the future; and directly drawing energy into the body could also be used, but it was not as pure as the spiritual energy after circulation.

While she was drawing in water spiritual energy, she was using some magic spells. Her dantian was now acting as a transit station, absorbing and releasing water continuously. Li Yiru was finally able to bring a steady stream of lake water into the spiritual field.

But the water flow was very thin, unlike Wang Xiuling's method of watering the three-mu vegetable garden in just two or three strokes.

However, Li Yirou was already very satisfied. Just as she was about to try again, the bell on her waist began to ring.

Three hours passed by unknowingly. Cultivation really takes a lot of time. No wonder everyone in the sect is in such a hurry.

She went to the stove and checked the small sign. Five people had reserved meals this afternoon.

Li Yiru finished cooking and tasted it. Hmm, it was quite unpalatable. She basically grasped the essence of Aunt Xiuling’s cooking.

It was still early, so she prepared food for Wang Xiuling and her, and put it aside, waiting for the disciples to leave before eating.

While cooking, Li Yirou was also thinking that she had to explore the path of cultivation on her own now. From the way she used the spells, it could be seen that without anyone to guide her, she ended up taking a lot of detours.

Aunt Xiuling seemed to know very little about cultivation. The words she gave her as advice seemed to be what she recalled others saying and relayed to her. She also made it clear that she could not guide her on how to get started with cultivation.

Somehow, Li Yirou suddenly recalled the look in Master Minjing's eyes that showed no expectation of her. She had seen through it and thought that there was probably no hope of becoming Master Minjing's disciple.

But now she can complete her daily work. As long as she works hard to enter the first level of Qi Refining and learn the Dust Removal Technique, she will not have any goals. As long as she can live in peace and stability...

Thinking of this, I remembered Aunt Xiuling's words and was in a dilemma. Was it true that a high-level cultivator would wipe out the sect over a disagreement? And what about the beast tide attack?

But Master Minjing said that there is a protective shield that can protect the sect's safety.

Here, she had never seen even a poisonous spider. She also had a little cat named Taxue, who went out every day and came back well-fed. Li Yiru thought that the sect was very safe.

Compared with the two of them, Minjing has a higher level of cultivation. In fact, she is more inclined to follow Minjing's advice to her - to take good care of the dining hall and live a peaceful life.

The only destabilizing factor is Zhao Jinfan and his gang of robbers.

However, it was impossible for her to always receive any rewards. After being here for so long, she had only seen Elder Feng ask for food to be delivered once. It was said that there were dozens of foundation-building cultivators in the sect, so the frequency of asking for food to be delivered was extremely low.

Li Yirou quickly sorted things out for herself, and at this time the disciples also arrived.

She heated up the fried dishes casually and served them to them half-cold and half-hot. The disciples ate in silence and left quickly.

Li Yirou observed that the disciples who came to eat every day were basically wearing the same errand disciple clothes as her, and their faces were also quite different. Perhaps they had no other choice but to come to the dining hall to eat.

After they left, she started to cook for Wang Xiuling. The fire made her face slightly warm.

"Xiao Rou, have you gained anything from your practice these days?" Wang Xiuling dragged her tired body out of the house, sat at the nearest table and chair, and asked her about her practice.

Li Yirou happily told her that she could use the Water-drawing Technique, "Aunt Xiuling, you can rest assured and leave the dining hall matters to me. I can do it now."

Wang Xiuling was happy for a moment, but then seemed to be lost in some emotion and stopped talking.

Seeing her depressed and heavy look, Li Yirou could only shake her head secretly.

After having dinner with her, Wang Xiuling went back to her room in silence.

She didn't know what disease she had. She sighed, packed up, went back to her room, and meditated on the cushion, moving towards the goal of the first level of Qi Refining.

Based on her experience of absorbing water aura, this time she wanted to sense fire aura.

According to the relationship of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Five Elements, wood generates fire. She has a high affinity for wood aura. If she had not learned water-based spells first, she would have absorbed fire aura first.

However, because of her affinity with wood aura, she could easily imagine herself as something similar to wood. When introducing water aura, she was a plant in need of nourishment. When introducing fire aura, she turned herself into a dead tree, waiting for a spark to ignite.

The red light spots floating around were gradually approaching. Li Yirou concentrated her mind and waited for it to enter.

But when it got close to him and was about to penetrate his body, the water spirit was like a little bully, pushing it away and taking its place.

Li Yirou suppressed her impatience and allowed the water spiritual energy to enter her dantian. At this time, the wood and water spiritual energy that had just entered, as well as the two spiritual energies after circulation, were already in the dantian and could no longer enter.

Only then did she begin to feel the fire spirit again.

But this water spirit was very overbearing. It couldn't get in by itself, so it blocked the door. As long as the fire spirit approached, it would push it away.

No wonder it is often said that water and fire cannot coexist. Li Yiru exhaled the foul air, slowly opened her eyes, and came out of her cultivation state.
