C516 Great Way Simplified
Ma Yun walked out arrogantly as if he didn't care about this matter. It was no wonder that even though Ma Yun's cultivation wasn't high, he had managed the Eastern District's service all this while. There were many outer sect disciples who had advanced here.
Liu Du clenched his fists tightly, and released them in the end. Being under the roof, how could he not lower his head, as long as he stayed in the service area for one day, he would have no choice but to lower his head to Ma Yun, otherwise, he would not end up well. Liu Du was well aware of this logic, so even though he had a knot in his heart, he would not reveal it.
His status was currently low, and in front of Ma Yun, he was like an ant. If he resisted, he would die.
When he thought about the cultivation manual, he took it out and saw three small words written on it, "body cutting Scroll".
With excited emotions, Liu Du gently opened the booklet.
"All living things in the world have their own intelligence, and yet, one has to be the first. If you want to cultivate, you need to wash off the filth on your body, and draw in the spirit energy in the world into your body. This is the body cutting."
Liu Du was shocked, so this was a Immortal Cultivation Method, it was much more valuable than gold and silver. There would be a day when the gold and silver treasures were exhausted, but this cultivation method could be used for the rest of one's life.
He thought of the Senior Sister Qin who was flying on the sword previously. Her demeanor was outstanding and her movements had an immortal charm to them, which made him admire her endlessly.
"One day, I will be able to roam the sky just like her." Liu Du's eyes revealed determination, his fists clenched tightly.
It was unknown when the little fatty woke up. With hazy, sleepy eyes, he said in a daze, "Liu Du, what are you doing? Why does my body hurt so much? "
He also saw the blood stains on his body and was surprised. "Ah! Why am I covered in blood?"
That blood was actually left behind from the bite of the fatty.
"Ah, you fell just now." Liu Du did not tell the truth to the little fatty. This guy was so timid, if he knew, wouldn't he be scared out of his wits?
Little Fatso scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "So that's how it is."
Liu Du laughed bitterly, the little fatty was really simple.
"I'm so hungry. I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat roasted chicken." The little fatty's stomach growled.
Liu Du sighed. Other than food, Little Fatty was also eating, he really did not know what was in his head.
"Hey, can't you think of anything else besides food?" Liu Du could not help but smile bitterly.
The little fatty bit his finger and said, "I still want my fianc?e."
Liu Du laughed. Even at this place, Little Fatty was still unable to forget about the beauty at home.
"Haha, how old are you and you already have an unmarried woman. How rare." Liu Du teased, but he was smiling bitterly at the bottom of his heart, he had never liked anyone before, and that was the young miss of the Huang Family.
It was just that, although the Huang Family was not some wealthy family, their family background was still relatively good, why would they set their eyes on a poor brat like Liu Du? Moreover, in Liu Du's eyes, the young miss of the Huang Family was as beautiful as an immortal, and only the top scholar was worthy of her. Back then, part of the reason why he participated in the examinations was because of this young miss of the Huang Family.
Unfortunately, he failed his Imperial examinations and was even brought here. His fate had been cut off, so he could only cut off all thoughts in his mind.
Thinking of this, he became a little absent-minded.
However, from the moment he became an Immortal servant, he knew that meeting the young mistress of the Huang family was even harder than ascending to the heavens.
The celestial cultivators were separated by a huge gap. How could it be so easy for them to meet each other?
Once upon a time, he had thought that after his high school, he would go to the Huang Family to propose marriage and marry the young mistress of the Huang Family. However, in the end, he was still brought here.
He sighed. The little fatty creased his brows and said, "Big Brother Liu, do you also miss your wife?"
The little fatty had an innocent expression.
Liu Du smiled bitterly, just where did he get his wife from? Pausing for a moment, he said, "Little fatty, don't think too much. Hurry up and go to sleep. Tomorrow, we still have to go to chop firewood."
The little fatty's small eyes stared at him, "I don't want to chop firewood. My father's family is extremely rich and doesn't lack this kind of money. Right now, many people still owe my father money."
Liu Du laughed involuntarily, he too was in debt, but since he was already here, could it be that the creditor Liu would be able to find him here?
Thinking about it, this place was pretty good. Not only could they hide their debts, as long as they completed the mission, they could even eat.
"I'm asleep." Liu Du's eyelids kept on fighting. The little fatty also fell asleep immediately.
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, the sound of bells could be heard. The sound of bells ringing seemed to wake people up from their stupor.
The little fatty rolled over and muttered, "Who rings the bell so early in the morning? It's so noisy."
Liu Du quickly got up from the bed. He knew that this was the time for him to go chop firewood.
He quickly tried to wake Fatty up.
"Big Brother Liu, what's wrong?" The little fatty had an expression that said he hadn't woken up from his sleep yet.
"We're up. We're going to chop firewood." Liu Du said softly.
Perhaps it was because he was scared, but when the little fatty heard this, he immediately became scared as well. His round body pressed down on the bed, causing the bed to creak.
"Oh yeah, little fatty, you should grind your teeth when you're free in the future." Thinking back to how the little fatty had become so mysterious last night, Liu Du reminded him again.
The little fatty was stunned for a moment before he continued with a foolish smile, "Eh, my father said the same thing."
"Alright, let's go." Liu Du did not point it out as he urged the little fatty to chop firewood with him.
The two welcomed the morning sun and quickly headed into the forest.
In the Eastern Quarters Servants' Quarters, the mountains rose and fell not far away, layers upon layers of rolling hills and continuous mountain trees were laid out in front of them. Ancient trees were everywhere, and they looked as if they were on the edge of the sea.
Carrying the axes from the servants' quarters, the two of them began their life of chopping wood in the servants' quarters.
Liu Du rubbed his sore shoulder and sighed in his heart. The little fatty was also sweating profusely and was not much better off than Liu Du. To put it bluntly, even though the little fatty was sturdy, he was only a twelve or thirteen year old child. If he was forced to do these menial tasks, then it would be difficult for him to do them.
When they arrived, they heard the sound of someone chopping down trees. Someone had already begun working on it. Those people did not care about Liu Du and the others, they were busy with their own things.
Liu Du was used to this, and knew that this place was cold towards others. The two found a shady spot and began to chop wood.
"If you don't give me some steamed buns, I will chop you to death. If you don't give me some roasted chicken, I will chop you to death." Little Fatso tried his best to chop down with his huge axe.
"Say, this immortal is truly strange. Since he has immortal techniques, why did he still use manpower to chop firewood?"
In comparison to the little fatty's nagging, Liu Du was so tired that he couldn't even speak. Half of his body was leaning against the tree, and he just rolled his eyes.
His body was thin and weak, and there were only a few poor men in Qingshan County. He had not eaten much in such a long time. This was the first time he had done something so intense.
"This life of chopping wood is not easy." Liu Du's eyes flashed as he took out the "body cutting Scroll" and carefully examined it. Every time he took a break from chopping firewood, he would read this cultivation manual. He was unwilling to spend his entire life chopping firewood here.
In the evening, the two of them carried the firewood they had chopped and returned to the servants' area. The two of them had only chopped eleven sides, and in every direction, it was all because of Little Fatso, while Liu Du had only chopped three sides.
"Why is there only this little?" Ma Yun coldly snorted.
Liu Du and the little fatty didn't even dare to speak.
"In that case, you can only accept one person's honor. Go." Ma Yun didn't even raise his head as he coldly spoke.
Liu Du and Little Fatso silently received the meal, and the two of them sat in front of the servants area to eat.
The little fatty wolfed down his food and quickly finished it, staring at the rice ball in Liu Du's hands. That small amount of food could only fill up half of the little fatty's stomach, he ate way too much.
"Then, I'll give it to you." Although Liu Du was very hungry, he only ate a few bites before losing all his appetite.
Night, Liu Du struggled out of his bed and took out the booklet, staring at it intently. In the past, when he was reading the Book of Virtue, he would often wake up hungry in the middle of the night to read it.
On the other side, Little Fatso fell asleep the moment he returned. He was already snoring loudly.
Liu Du ignored him and continued reading.
Gradually, Liu Du entered into a strange state, with only the small booklet in his mind, some invisible spirit energy slowly fell from the sky into the house and surrounded Liu Du.
Those with good aptitude would soon step into the cultivation threshold, while those with bad aptitude might not be able to cultivate for the rest of their lives. For people like Liu Du, whose aptitude was neither good nor bad, could only be considered as not bad.
He also knew this, so he could only work diligently to make up for it. He could only use his sweat in exchange for some harvest.
In the following days, Liu Du used his free time to cultivate while cutting wood. Gradually, he felt the existence of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and was overjoyed.
That night, Liu Du dragged his exhausted body back to his room. He endured the hunger and fatigue, clenched his teeth, and took out the "body cutting Scroll" to read carefully.
"Before, when I was reading, I often stayed up late at night to read. I, Liu Du, don't believe that I couldn't pass the Imperial examinations, and that I couldn't even cultivate within this sect." Ignoring the exhaustion in his body, Liu Du clenched his teeth and bowed his head to comprehend.
He did not have very good aptitude, but he had a heart that guided the Dao. In his eyes, as long as he worked hard, there was nothing that he could not accomplish.
Although he was asleep, he seemed to be contemplating enlightenment. Early the next morning, he gritted his teeth and rose to his feet, then continued to chop firewood with Fatty.
Days passed, and gradually, he was able to chop down five cubes of firewood every day. Fatty was even more powerful, and could chop down at least a dozen cubes of firewood every day.
Before night fell, Liu Du had already begun to read the "body cutting Scroll" in silence, as he tried to sense the fluctuations of spirit energy.
That night, when he was trying to comprehend something, he suddenly felt a trace of spirit energy fluctuations and gathered it in his dantian. His mind jolted as he thought that he had not wasted any time and was now working even harder.
Not long after, his legs went numb and a trace of spirit energy seemed to flash through his body. Liu Du was overjoyed, knowing that it had worked.
One day, two days, three days ?. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. In these two months, other than eating and cutting down firewood, Liu Du spent most of his time cultivating.
On this day, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the mountains in the vicinity of Nature's Mystery Sect. In front of him was a bonfire.
"body cutting, Marrow Washing, Qi Inducing into the body, you will have to cultivate in the Great Dao." Liu Du roared, the Spirit Qi in his body became even stronger, as though he was just a line away from entering the first level of body cutting.
"Are you done?" Just as Liu Du was training, the little fatty walked over from afar with an axe in hand.
In the past few days, the little fatty hadn't grown any skinnier, but he had grown a lot stronger. Now that he was able to move his hands and feet, he gave off a frightening aura.
"Just a bit more and the spiritual qi will spread throughout my body." Liu Du stood up and laughed.
The little fatty glared at him. "Who asked you that? I'm asking if the wild chicken is done roasting."
As he spoke, Fatty's eyes shone, and he continuously gulped.
Ever since Liu Du's body had been infused with spirit energy, the two of them would occasionally fight a little with the Wild Tooth Sacrifice, which could be considered oil and water. If they had been eating the coarse grain rice at the servants' area, the little fatty would have gone crazy long ago.
"Not yet. Wait another fifteen minutes." Liu Du laughed involuntarily as he looked at the little fatty.
In truth, the spiritual energy in his body was already extremely abundant, he was only a thread away from reaching the first level of the body cutting, but for some reason, he felt that something was amiss, as if something was preventing him from reaching the first level of the body cutting. He shook his head and did not think about the complicated problem, it was just a matter of time before he reached the first level of the body cutting.
"I'm starving." The little fatty sat on the ground and said to Liu Du, "Once you reach the first level of body cutting, you will be able to go to the Outer Sect. In the future, no one will be able to catch wild chickens for me to eat. I'm not happy at all. "
In the eyes of the little fatty, being able to sleep until dawn and eat roasted pheasants every day was the happiest thing to do. As for cultivating, he didn't take it to heart at all.
"You must work hard and strive to reach the first level of body cutting." Liu Du said.
The little fatty said with a mournful expression, "They know me, but I don't know them. Forget it, I'm not a cultivator's life, so I can only obediently chop wood here. After ten years, I can leave."
In reality, the little fatty had also tried to cultivate, but had not found anything. He was originally a lazy person, so he gave up in the end.
Liu Du looked at the little fatty, knowing that he was speaking the truth. He did not expose him and silently roasted the wild chicken.
After a while, the fragrance of the roasted wild chicken wafted in the air. Little Fatso took a deep breath and impatiently tore off a piece of chicken leg, wolfing it down. As he ate, he said, "Do you think we'll be discovered eating roasted wild chicken here?"
After being scolded by Ma Yun several times, the little fatty had learned his lesson. He would rather die than do anything that was forbidden.
