Cultivation of the cat

In the sunny afternoon, there is a different kind of tranquility in the forest.

Is this really the little girl who keeps her head down and walks silently by her side, who is always gentle and pampering and can't stop talking about rice balls...

The light that fell from the leaves shone in Yuan Zhaoyang's eyes, she turned her head, but could only see the little hair swirl on top of Lin Mianmian's head.

There are so many differences between the perspective of being a cat and the perspective of being a human.Not just those tables and chairs, but also this person beside him.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl is really a little young, Yuan Zhaoyang looked at the hair that just reached his shoulders, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Then, let me take care of you instead.

When Lin Mianmian raised her head, she happened to meet Yuan Zhaoyang's self-imagined smile. After hesitating for a long time to ask how long he would have to walk in the woods, he turned a corner and fell back to his stomach inside.

So he walked and walked without saying a word, what did he think of, and he just laughed like that?But... this inexplicable smile is really inexplicably beautiful.

Lin Mianmian still remembers the astonishment when he saw Yuan Zhaoyang for the first time in Yingxian City. Among a group of immortal cultivators, Yuan Zhaoyang, who was plainly dressed but fluttering like a fairy, seemed to be an existence that could not be ignored in the past, especially Those eyes...and the undisguised emotion in them.In fact, Lin Mianmian has always wanted to ask Yuan Zhaoyang if she looked at him with the sadness of being let down that day when she first met, whether it was just his own illusion.It's just that I haven't found a suitable opportunity to speak less abruptly.

In fact, now is a very good opportunity, a quiet place, only the two of them.

But Lin Mianmian suddenly didn't want to ask.

A person's heart is so big and yet so small.How meaningful are those joys, sorrows and sorrows, even if you can't empathize with others?

Along the way, Lin Mianmian controlled himself not to think about Xiao Sanhua, and controlled not to let the sadness in his heart continue to spread.Those negative emotions are difficult to collect, and it is useless to appeal to them. They can only be digested quietly by themselves.No matter whether Senior Sister Yuan really looked at me like that when I first met her, or whether she was really sad or not.At least for now, she's smiling.The corners of the slightly curved mouth and narrowed almond eyes, the shallow smile seemed to reveal a lot of smiles, obviously it was just a snickering of one person, but for some reason, it made the people watching feel a little bit of peace.

The big demon who was about to condense the golden core, just wandered in his own memories and imagination, and soon found the gaze of the person next to him who hadn't looked away for a long time.Yuan Zhaoyang looked at Lin Mianmian in surprise.The latter did not have the consciousness of being discovered by peeping at all, and his eyes were open.

Yuan Zhaoyang: "..." So the eye contact is the beginning of the conversation?What do you want to talk about?Why am I suddenly a little nervous, oops, I have to say something...

Lin Mianmian didn't say anything, and responded to Yuan Zhaoyang's gaze with an unattractive smile on her pale face and reddish eyes and nose, then lowered her head again.

What, white nervous!Why are you nervous?She is not a stranger, and I have been playing with her for several months when I was a cat.Yuan Zhaoyang pursed his lips, a little unhappy.

"Senior Sister Yuan." Lin Mianmian, who lowered his head, suddenly said.

"Meow?" Just thinking about what happened when he was a cat, Yuan Zhaoyang inadvertently slipped out a sound.

Lin Mianmian: "..."

Yuan Zhaoyang: "...Sapling, sapling, this sapling is growing very well."

Lin Mianmian watched Yuan Zhaoyang pass through the bushes and stood beside a very ordinary-looking small tree.

Yuan Zhaoyang touched the tree trunk a little stiffly, and made quick calculations in his mind. When he looked back at Lin Mianmian, it was very natural: "Speaking of which, you are a wood spirit root, you might as well get some sects to plant it in the future. For tasks like this, the task rewards are generally good, and it is also beneficial to your wood spirit root cultivation."

So what does this have to do with the young saplings growing well?

But now is not the time to worry about the little sapling.

"Planting tasks? What to plant?" Lin Mianmian clutched her sleeves nervously.Not to mention the normal life before, but in the seven years of the last days, I have accumulated some farming skills.if

, it would be great if it could be applied in this other world.Lin Mianmian looked forward to hearing some familiar names from Yuan Zhaoyang, those names that appeared in the "Food Classic", those names that were transplanted and improved in his own hands...

Seeing Lin Mianmian's interest, Yuan Zhaoyang heaved a sigh of relief, and finally turned the page of the previous meow.

"Five Elements Sect will assign new residences to new disciples after they have successfully introduced Qi into their bodies. There are some residences, each with a piece of land suitable for planting, and disciples can choose to plant their favorite plants on it. You can also choose to use it to complete the sect’s task of planting special plants. In addition, the place where the sect cooks and sells spiritual food is called Qingxintang, and it also buys self-grown spiritual rice and spiritual vegetables from disciples.”

"Is it farming like the common world?" Lin Mianmian tried to hear more information.

"There are similarities, but there are many differences. For example, the land that has been planted with spiritual plants will harden before it is cultivated. It is more difficult to replant than the land in the common world. It's hard to deal with...By the way, Zihui took you to see some spirit beasts in this forest before. Some of them are specially bred and domesticated by the Five Elements Sect to help disciples farm. Don't think they are just spirit beasts, but they are indeed It saved a lot of energy for the disciples." Yuan Zhaoyang said, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I am the root of fire, and I do a lot of alchemy and refining, but I seldom cultivate spiritual plants, so more specific When you go to the lecture hall, there will be a monk who specializes in this area to introduce you."

Indeed, land reuse for the cultivation of mutated plants has always been a problem in the last days.As the mutated plants planted on those lands continued to grow, the hardness of those lands continued to increase until the plants matured, and the hardness of the land was already difficult for ordinary people to replant.Sometimes, even the root hairs left by the mutated plants in the soil are difficult to deal with.If it is necessary to reuse the land, many soil-type supernatural beings must use supernatural powers to loosen the soil, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.So in many cases, the base would rather change another piece of land and continue planting the next batch of plants.This back and forth, although there is unnecessary consumption, but on the contrary, it is less wasteful than land reuse.

So... the Dongshan earthworm that Senior Sister Zihui introduced earlier, yes, the Dongshan earthworm that loosened the soil.Has it also appeared in the last days?Lin Mianmian frowned, but the Dongshan earthworm had never appeared in the "Food Classic". She really couldn't remember if there was any incident about such a mutant creature in the last days.

Yuan Zhaoyang didn't know what Lin Mianmian was thinking at this time, he just saw her frowning and thought she didn't like farming.But isn't it the easiest and most convenient to do some planting tasks with a single wood spirit root?

No... Yuan Zhaoyang suddenly thought of Lin Mianmian's spiritual root aptitude, and his heart sank slightly.

"Actually, the Outer Valley of the Five Elements Sect is quite large. Apart from those dwellings with land, there are many other types of residences. For example, there are two mountain walls in the Outer Valley. A long time ago, there were stars and rock copper inside. The two kinds of spiritual mines have of course been mined now. However, the breath of the two spiritual mines still remains. The Five Elements School built the two mountain walls into cave houses for the disciples who live in them to familiarize themselves with and understand. There is also this river..." Yuan Zhaoyang stretched out his finger and pointed to the river not far away, "Don't look at the narrow waterway, just follow it. There are several places where the river is wide and the water flow is changeable. There are also a lot of spirit beasts, and the Chijing five-scaled fish last time was one of them. Along the river, there are also many houses. In addition, the sect is in the training hall for raising spirit beasts, researching and updating magic weapons and magic weapons. There are houses in many places, such as the Yanwu Hall and the Yunhuo Hall where the earth fire is born. There are many places to live in Outer Valley, and disciples can choose their residences according to their own spiritual roots, as well as their personal preferences."

Shan Mu Linggen's choice of the first type of residence is of course the most suitable, but Yuan Zhaoyang just can't see Lin Mianmian frowning and hesitating. With the tip of his tongue spinning, piles of words and sentences pop up by themselves.

Lin Mianmian, who was hit by a bunch of messages, was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows for a while, and said softly to Yuan Zhaoyang, "Thank you, Senior Sister Yuan..."

"Thank you... I didn't introduce it properly. Anyway, we will meet the person who will record the information and allocate the house for you later, and then we will work together." Yuan Zhaoyang felt a little flustered for some reason, thank you for what, my that I lied to you so much, and I was thanked by you today. I really don't know what to do with a cat.

thank you for taking me in

I joined the Five Elements School, thank you and Abai for giving me that bottle of potion that draws energy into my body, thank you for protecting me in front of Wang Fang and Wang Chuanying, and... thank you for the cold noodles, chicken legs, rice porridge, egg fish Soup……

Lin Mianmian looked up, only to see Yuan Zhaoyang looking away, with a little red on his earlobe.If you are grateful, it is too much to say. If you achieve something in the future, it is best to put it into practice.Lin Mianmian didn't say anything else, but it was a little funny to see Yuan Zhaoyang's way of not turning his head straight on purpose.

Would a person who has practiced for a hundred years be ashamed because of an impractical sentence of gratitude from a disciple who is not very familiar with him?A trace of doubt flashed across Lin Mianmian's heart, but the doubt was too light and shallow, and quickly dissipated.

On the other hand, Yuan Zhaoyang seemed unwilling to continue his endless reverie when he was silent, and he was even more afraid of his gaffe when the silence was suddenly broken, so he kept chatting with Lin Mianmian on the next road .

Occasional spirit beasts in the forest, the current situation of the Five Elements School, all kinds of strange sect tasks, cooking experience, Ah Bai's embarrassment...

Lin Mianmian was really uncomfortable at the beginning. Yuan Zhaoyang suddenly changed from slapping Fei Wang Fang's face domineeringly domineering to shy earlobe reddened by thanking him. After walking a few steps, he became a chatterer... …

But walking and talking all the way, Lin Mianmian gradually felt that he could breathe smoothly occasionally.

Ever since she sent off Xiaosanhua in the morning, Lin Mianmian felt as if a heavy boulder had been placed on her heart. It was called reluctance, memory, longing, and sadness...almost any negative words could become its new name.

No matter how forbearable weeping, crying indulgently, trying hard to cheer up, pretending to be strong... can't move this boulder halfway.Every heartbeat seems to be in the middle of it, no, a little half, it is held up by the boulder, and even the breath is like stealing the breath from the cracks in the stone, it is narrow and long, and it is a kind of, no Suffocate suffocate.

And now, the person beside me who has always been a little strange and has reached out to help many times, said something useful or useless, but there was always something interesting.Lin Mianmian listened quietly, occasionally answering, and felt a little relieved in her heart. Although it was still painful, occasionally, occasionally, her heart could relax once in a while.

why?Why do I feel like I can breathe well?

Even if only very little.

It still looks like... a betrayal of Xiao Sanhua.

Thinking of this, Lin Mianmian clenched his palms tightly and fell silent, but the moment he lowered his head, he saw Yuan Zhaoyang's belt tied on his robe.

His gaze stayed on the corner of the belt for a long time, on the black and orange cloud pattern, Lin Mianmian's mind went blank.
