The waste she became the first array mage

This time, she carefully placed the low-level spiritual plants into the space, believing that they would not be lost again.

Li Yiru was meditating and practicing, and Taxue curled up between her legs, sleeping peacefully without disturbing her.

She entered into meditation again, and the yellow light was still blocked by the green wood aura. She thought that although wood overcomes earth, it also needs earth, and she didn't understand why the wood aura was so resistant.

This time she forcefully suppressed the wood spirit, but it refused to be tamed and kept popping up to resist the earth spirit.

Li Yirou tried again and again, but unfortunately she failed until the rooster crowed.

Having prepared herself mentally, she did not feel much loss. She tidied herself up quickly and went to practice collecting dew.

This time she was more skilled in the Water-drawing Technique than before. The dew fell into her palms as she commanded, and only a little spiritual energy was consumed. At the same time, her body could continue to absorb and circulate it, but the speed was not as fast as when she was meditating.

Because she had to collect several kinds of dew, Li Yirou was worried that the water spiritual energy in her body was insufficient, so she wanted to think of a solution.

The big cycle takes time, and what she needs at this time is water spiritual energy, so Li Yiru tried to temporarily absorb the wood and earth spiritual energy into the meridians and dantian, and no longer attracted new ones, and directly wanted to absorb three water spiritual energies.

However, it was beyond her control, and the three kinds of spiritual energy came in one after another. She changed her mind and thought, if she succeeded, she would be like someone with only one spiritual root, and there would be no such good thing.

I can only try the method of spiritual energy transformation.

After the spiritual energy is circulated and absorbed by the meridians, it is no longer spiritual energy of a single attribute, but has the attributes of primordial spiritual energy, but is relatively biased towards its own attributes. At this time, the spiritual energy can be transformed into other attributes in the Dantian, otherwise the cultivator with water spiritual roots can only use water-based spells.

In fact, as long as it is transformed, you can use the spells of other systems, but it is not as smooth as the original spiritual roots, and it is more time-consuming.

Moreover, transformation of a single spiritual root is relatively faster because it only needs to be transformed once in the Dantian.

If one has multiple spiritual roots, one must transform all the attributes one has before they can become the one that one does not have.

She has five spiritual roots. If the wood spirit energy wants to use water-based spells, it needs to be transformed in the order of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

Li Yirou learned the method of transformation from a book, but she apparently forgot that there were still two types of spiritual energy that could not be guided into the body, so the transformation failed.

By the time she figured it out, the dew had almost dissipated. She could only try something else. Li Yirou sprinkled some water on the leaves herself to see how much dew she could control.

Perhaps because she became more familiar with the spell the more she practiced, she used less and less spiritual energy. After the circulation, the pitiful amount of water spiritual energy actually enabled her to collect a lot of dew.

Li Yirou felt relieved. She knew that she would not fail to complete the task if she collected a few more points tomorrow. Seeing that Aunt Xiuling had not yet reached the first level of Qi Refining, she could do this job easily and casually. She must have practiced the Water-Diverting Technique thoroughly.

She returned to the dining hall and found Wang Xiuling cooking.

"Aunt Xiuling, let me do it. You should rest more and don't overwork yourself." Why did she come out to work as soon as she felt better? Li Yirou was afraid that she would be tired.

"Go take out the fresh meat from the box. Elder Feng wants to eat the clay pot rice I made."

It turned out that it was a distinguished guest who ordered something. Li Yirou saw a food box on the side with a piece of meat wrapped in lotus leaf inside.

Wang Xiuling asked her to watch and learn, marinated the meat with minced garlic, shredded ginger, soy sauce, honey and salt, and asked her to pick some vegetables from the yard.

After she washed it and put it on the chopping board, Wang Xiuling was still sitting there breathing heavily. Li Yirou couldn't help but worry.

Wang Xiuling waved her hand and said, "Xiao Rou, Elder Feng is an alchemist. The fasting pills and spirit-boosting pills that the monks usually take are all made by her and her disciples."

Li Yirou suddenly realized why Wang Xiuling's cooking was so unpalatable...

"Medicine pills are very profitable, right?" Although she asked, she was 80% sure in her heart.

Wang Xiuling smiled but did not answer the question. "I thought, I cooked a lot for her. Now that I am about to die, I will pass on this skill to you. Maybe she will allow you to be a chores disciple with her."

Who said she was unlucky? How could she deserve these people to make such plans for her? Li Yirou's eyes turned red again. What she was more worried about at the moment was her health.

"Aunt Xiuling, please don't talk nonsense. You are so young and beautiful. If you have any disease, we can find a way to cure it. I have twelve spirit beads here. Please find someone to check your illness first..."

“Hahahaha…” Wang Xiuling laughed, but with great sorrow. Her face remained young, but she was no longer young. “Xiaorou, I’m over 90 years old…”

"How could it be!" Li Yirou couldn't believe it. She was so young and beautiful. If she asked her to call her aunt, Li Yirou would think that she had some secret technique to maintain her youth and that she was only in her thirties or forties at most.

"I've only taken the Rejuvenating Pill." Wang Xiuling didn't want to continue the topic. "I've written a recipe here. If you don't want to practice, read it. Make one dish every day and I'll teach you."

"Remember, be respectful to Elder Feng. I'll wait until you learn how to do it, and then try to ask her to let you stay."

"Even if your spiritual roots are poor, you must not give up practicing. If you work hard, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you give up, you will just have to watch the opportunity slip away."

"If you can be taken in by Elder Feng, you don't have to worry anymore. No one will fail to give some face to an alchemist."

.

If Elder Feng had not shown some interest in food, Xiao Rou would have been the most detestable existence even if she stayed by her side, so it would be better for her not to go.

She mentioned this the last time she saw Feng Xiaoman, who found an excuse to look at her and asked her to cook fish for him.

She said that her time was almost up. This child was clever, but unfortunately her spiritual roots were weak. Elder Feng asked her whether she liked the child or not.

At that time, they were watching from a high place. Li Yirou was carrying the meat she had brought from the Deacon's Hall, walking and resting on the winding forest path. Her figure was looming, but she persisted. Although she was a small person, she worked very hard, but she never slacked off and was eager to come back to help her with the work.

Xiaoman looked at her deeply at that time, with emotions surging in his eyes, but finally calmed down.

"For Brother Zhou's sake, if she has a pure heart, I will allow you."

"Let her take care of you first. If you are gone, I will take her in." After saying this, Feng Xiaoman did not stay and left with her Hongling.

The alchemy elder had used up the last bit of affection he had for the widow.

.

Li Yirou didn't know why, but she was deeply saddened by the news that Wang Xiuling was over 90 and about to die. "Aunt Xiuling, take a rest, drink some water, and talk slowly."

Even when saying something so simple, Wang Xiuling would pause and take a few breaths.

Li Yirou only hated herself for being incompetent, causing Taxue to get injured while picking spiritual plants for her, and causing Aunt Xiuling to work hard to find a way out for her...

Wang Xiuling was still gentle, "I'm just too old, don't worry. Xiaorou, I'm glad to meet you."

"If it weren't for you, I would have accomplished nothing in my life."

"I didn't expect that before I left, I would meet someone who needed my help. My cultivation is too poor, and I'm the one who can't do anything in the sect. I'm very happy that I can play a role in the end."
