Stars fall and locust trees grow

Seeing that Li Chi's expression turned a little ugly after hearing the other party's words, Qi Luoxing suddenly walked to the barrier at the door, scratched his head, and showed a sincere and puzzled expression.

"Hey?! Elder Li! I have a question!"

"You just kept saying that every one of you should be prepared to sacrifice for the sect, not every one of us..."

He emphasized the words "you" and "us" and continued, "What this means is that you elders and direct disciples don't need to make contributions to the sect anymore..."

After hearing this, Li Shang did not deny it directly. Instead, he sneered and said, "I hope that in a month, you will still have the energy to talk so much nonsense," and then left.

Seeing this, Li Jun smiled apologetically to Li Chi and Qi Luoxing and was about to turn around and leave. However, Qi Luoxing stopped him.

"Wait, Senior Brother Li! I have another question!"

I just heard that old man Li Shang call him Li Jun, so he must be a direct disciple of the Li family.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Qi?!" Li Jun asked softly, "Is there anything you don't understand?!"

Qi Luoxing chuckled and rubbed his palms a little embarrassedly, "When we were in the outer courtyard, we could get 20 spirit stones every month. I wonder how much we get in the inner courtyard?!"

He also wanted to save up all the spirit stones so that he could buy a good sword in the future!

"All items needed for the inner courtyard will be distributed by the sect, so we will no longer distribute spirit stones to each of you brothers individually."

"Ah...Is that so!" Qi Luoxing was a little disappointed, but he immediately regained his usual playful smile and said, "Then what should we do if we want to take a shower or go to the toilet on weekdays?!"

"Although it's a bit smelly after not taking a shower for such a long time, it's not unbearable. However, people have three urgent needs, and peeing and pooping can't be held back. We can't just solve it here, right?!"

"I'm afraid my two junior brothers haven't checked this room carefully yet!"

Li Jun touched his nose and chuckled, "There is a small door in the southeast corner of the house that leads to the side room. There is water and everything else you need for daily life."

"Ah ha?!" Qi Luoxing expressed shock.

Just now, the two of them were so hungry that they just lay there and did not pay close attention to the layout of the dormitory.

He quickly ran to the southeast corner of the house and saw a small door.

After pushing open the door, you can see the water source connected to the house by a bamboo pole. There are wardrobes, bathtubs, toilets, clothes hangers, kettles and other daily necessities.

Not only that, when you open the wardrobe, you can see several sets of dark black sect uniforms, shoes, socks and other clothes that are exactly the same as those in the outer courtyard.

He immediately waved to Li Chi, "Cousin, come quickly! There really is a side room here!"

“It looks pretty good!”

Seeing that Li Chi and Qi Luoxing had gone to the side room, Li Jun suddenly put away the smile on his face, "Since the two junior brothers have nothing else to do, I will leave first. Don't forget to start taking the nourishing spirit pills today."

*

After Li Jun left, Li Chi and Qi Luoxing walked out from the side room with expressionless faces.

The two men walked to the table and sat down. After each taking a fasting pill, one of them touched his chin and the other supported his head as they began to analyze their current situation.

"I always feel that the collective training in a month's time may not be as simple as we imagined." Li Chi spoke first.

Combined with what Elder Li Shang had just said when facing Qi Luoxing's provocation, he vaguely felt that the so-called secret technique practice might involve certain dangers.

There must be a barrier set up in every dormitory in the inner courtyard, so they can't go out and others can't come in.

There is simply no way or source to get more information.

The two of them have now reached a dead end with basically no solution.

"Listening to what the old man said, it feels like that."

"Didn't he just wish me that I can still be so energetic after a month?"

Qi Luoxing curled his lips indifferently, "But, cousin! I don't think there is any need for us to think so much right now."

He straightened up, yawned, and dug his ears twice. "No matter what their conspiracy is, we will know the answer in a month. By then, we will stop them with earth and fight them with soldiers."

"It's just that right now, there's one thing that bothers me."

Li Chi pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

After hearing what Qi Luoxing said, he simply gave up struggling and lay directly on the table, uttering a few words weakly, "Oh?! How entangled are you? Tell me!"

"Actually, I wanted to say just now..." Qi Luoxing rubbed his throat and swallowed hard a few times, "This fasting pill is really too disgusting. I don't know what kind of weird stuff is put in it."

"If we had known we had to fast now, we should have exchanged all the spiritual stones on us for food before entering the inner courtyard."

He has already begun to miss the cafeteria in the outer courtyard.

He also wants to eat a big roast chicken.

"The Bigu Pill is really disgusting to eat."

Li Chi raised his head, took out a green porcelain bottle from his bosom, and poured out a nourishing pill in his hand, staring at it carefully with his big eyes. "I just don't know how this nourishing pill tastes."

"We'll just be thinking about random things if we just sit there, so why not just eat it and start practicing!"

Qi Luoxing nodded when he heard this and took out his own nourishing spirit pill.

He picked up the pill and looked at it in front of his eyes, then stuffed it directly into his mouth, "Hmm... this nourishing spirit pill tastes much better than the fasting pill."

Qi Luoxing smacked his lips, thinking of what Li Jun said when he took out the pill, and said, "I never thought that people with different spiritual roots would take different pills."

He leaned forward and looked at the pill in Li Chi's hand again, "Eh? Cousin! Your nourishing spirit pill does seem to be different from mine."

On the body of the pill, there seemed to be a very fine red line faintly visible.

"We have never learned about elixirs, and we don't know what secrets are contained in them. I hope that if I have a chance in the future, I can go to the library and find some related books to read." Li Chi stuffed the nourishing pill into his mouth, then walked to the couch and sat cross-legged.

"Now I should calm down and concentrate my energy to catalyze the elixir."

The room returned to silence in an instant.

Li Chi mobilized the spiritual energy around his body and tightly wrapped the nourishing spirit pill that entered his body.

With the invasion of spiritual energy, the elixir gradually and slowly merged with it until it became one.

At first, Li Chi felt a sudden burning pain in his body, like a burning fire. However, with the catalysis of the elixir, this discomfort quickly disappeared.

The medicinal power mixed with spiritual energy traveled around in his body, gradually flowing to his limbs and bones. After being completely absorbed by his body, he felt much more comfortable all over.

This nourishing pill is indeed a good thing.
