With Lu Chen's current spiritual energy, he couldn't even activate the Demonic God Symbiosis. However, the Demonic God Origin Cultivation Technique was enough!
The surrounding spiritual energy gathered towards Lu Chen and entered his body through his pores.
The cultivation method of this world was different from the Jiutian. Lu Chen didn't even have a spiritual core. The purpose of the spiritual energy was to strengthen his spiritual veins.
It was like building a good foundation before building a skyscraper!
The spiritual veins were attached to the meridians. With Lu Chen's rich battle experience, his spiritual energy had reached the realm of Spiritual Energy Following His Heart. He was very familiar with his meridians.
With such a foundation, his cultivation was naturally twice the result with half the effort.
After cultivating for an hour, Lu Chen opened his eyes and frowned, "The cultivation difficulty of my spiritual veins is so high!"
Cultivating with the Demonic God Origin Cultivation Technique, there were no obvious changes in an hour!
Of course, this might be related to his primal spiritual veins.
"Forget it. Since I've come to this world, I have to lay a solid foundation for my spiritual veins. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. I'm not in a hurry to form a spiritual core."
The sounds of wild beasts came from the surroundings. Lu Chen pondered and temporarily gave up on entering the state of Selflessness. His current physical body was much stronger than his peers. However, he was still a ten-year-old child and couldn't fight with wild beasts.
Even if his cultivation was slow, he still had to ensure his safety.
After a night of cultivation, Lu Chen returned to the kitchen to work the next morning.
Later, the other people in the kitchen got up and started working.
When they saw that Lu Chen had already chopped a large pile of firewood, a robust man pushed Lu Chen, causing him to stagger. He snatched the axe and pretended that he was chopping firewood.
Not long later, a man wearing a grey-white robe walked over. He looked at Lu Chen on the ground and the man chopping firewood and chuckled, "Liu Yong came out early to work. As for you, Lu Chen, everyone has already started working, but you're still muddle-headed. I think you haven't woken up yet!"
"The Western Saint Spiritual Academy doesn't raise idlers. I, Ding Hu, have always been fair in my rewards and punishments!"
"Liu Yong's salary for this month will be increased by 10 copper leaves. Lu Chen, 10 copper leaves! If there's a next time, you'll be severely punished! "
When he walked past Lu Chen, Ding Hu glanced at Lu Chen and sneered, "Chen Si told you that he went to the rice plantation?! Humph, humph, you don't know, right? He's already gone! "
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Why?"
"He doesn't have many years left to live, and he has no children! Is he hoping that the Western Saint Spiritual Academy will take care of his funeral? "
Finished speaking, Ding Hu flicked his sleeves and left.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. Grandpa Chen was sick …
…
After working in the kitchen for three months, Ding Hu became even more severe. Not only did he wantonly deduct Lu Chen's monthly allowance, but he also found opportunities to punish Lu Chen from time to time.
In the evening, the sound of rattan whipping could be heard from the kitchen.
"How dare you slack off!"
Pa!
"How dare you slack off!"
Pa!
Lu Chen was tied to a bamboo rack. Ding Hu fiercely waved his rattan whip. Every time he whipped, he would dip the rattan in the bucket of salt water and whip Lu Chen's back into a bloody mess!
"Admit your mistake!" Ding Hu roared.
Lu Chen clenched his teeth and didn't make a sound!
"Your bones are pretty hard. I want to see if your bones are hard or if my whip is hard!"
Pa, pa, pa. After three consecutive whippings, Lu Chen's back had a few more ghastly wounds.
An odd-job worker couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Ding Hu back, "Incharge, he's still a child. If you continue to beat him … I'm afraid that if he dies, it'll be hard to explain to the Holy Court."
Ding Hu was so angry that his eyes were wide open. However, his underling's words weren't without reason. The excuse he found was far-fetched. If he really died, it would be troublesome.
Yang Yong also said, "Boss, there will be plenty of chances in the future. Isn't it more fun to play slowly?"
Ding Hu nodded, "Let him go. We'll continue to work tomorrow!"
Back in his room, Ding Hu sat on a chair, "Yang Yong, help me rub my arms. Damn, my arms are sore from all the beating!"
"This Lu Chen, he really won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!"
Yang Yong also frowned, "Boss, this guy's temper is really unyielding. I've never seen such a stubborn person. Sometimes I even wonder if this kid is really only ten years old."
"Maybe he's an idiot." Ding Hu said.
"Then, should we drive him away?" Yang Yong said.
Ding Hu thought for a moment and said, "No. In ten days, the school will hold a disciple competition. At that time, there will be no less than hundreds of guests from other schools. The dean specifically said that nothing can go wrong in our kitchen."
"Now we're already short of manpower. That kid is always working. Let's leave him there first. He can fill the vacancy."
"During this time, let's not mess with him. We'll slowly play with him in the future!"
Yang Yong laughed, "It's like picking up an idiot to work for free, hahaha."
Late at night, Lu Chen went to his residence in the forest as usual.
There was actually a simple camp built around the rock.
Lu Chen had lived here for three months. No matter what, he had to tidy up his residence.
Lu Chen simply treated the wound on his back and sat on the rock, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"I wonder how Mother and Wan 'er are doing."
Those two people were the ones he worried about the most.
Unfortunately, he couldn't go home now. Cultivation was more important.
"Uncle Tie said that the more stable my spirit vein is, the less worry I have when using spirit energy in the future. Even powerful moves won't have any worries."
"Although my spirit vein is much more stable than it was three months ago, I feel that there's still room for improvement. Then I'll focus on stabilizing my spirit vein for the next two years!"
"Only, I don't know when I'll have the chance to go to the school and steal some cultivation techniques. This world's level is different from the Jiutian. Maybe the cultivation techniques here will give me some inspiration."
Lu Chen didn't forget Gu Ying's words. The most important harvest in the ancient realm wasn't the increase in level, but the comprehension of concepts and cultivation techniques!
"If I can comprehend the spear intent, I'll be able to cultivate the fourth stage of the God Slaying Spear …"
Thinking about this, Lu Chen began to cultivate again.
This time, he cultivated for the entire night.
Lu Chen gradually got used to this life. During the day, he would work and be scolded and beaten. At night, he would cultivate and only rest for one or two hours.
However, for some reason, ever since Lu Chen was whipped, Ding Hu didn't send anyone to find trouble with him. Lu Chen felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't care about this. It was best that they didn't find trouble with him. He just had to do his own thing.
Ten days later, a large number of guests arrived at the Western Saint Spiritual Academy. It was said that there were more guests than expected. Because of this, the entire kitchen was extremely busy.
Lu Chen coldly snorted. The Western Saint Spiritual Academy had to provide three meals and two refreshments from morning till night. Ding Hu was so busy that he couldn't tell north from south. No wonder he didn't have time to find trouble with him.
However, the more worried he was, the easier it was for something to happen.
While preparing dinner, one of the chefs cut off his finger while chopping vegetables. This caused Ding Hu to almost collapse!
"You, can't you be more careful!" Ding Hu angrily shouted at the chef, "I don't care if you cut off your hand or leg. You must make this dish well!"
The chef's subordinate was a teenage boy. He couldn't help but say, "Incharge, my master injured his hand when he was scraping the bones. If the Black Mountain Rock Python isn't cooked well, its flesh will be extremely poisonous. He must be treated in time. Otherwise, his life will be in danger! Right now, my master's entire left arm can't move. I'm afraid that even if you force him, he won't be able to cook anymore. "
Ding Hu was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. It would be easy to deal with one less subordinate, but it just had to be an odd-job worker.
"You're Old Huang's subordinate. Why aren't you scraping the bones for him to scrape?! What are you doing! "
"Incharge, that Black Mountain Rock Python isn't something that I can scrape …"
"Then what use do I have for you? Men, drag him out and beat him! "
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the crowd, "Stop!"
Following that, a thin figure squeezed out of the crowd.
Seeing this person, Ding Hu frowned, "Lu Chen? Brat, you haven't been beaten for a few days. Are you itching for a beating? "
Lu Chen indifferently looked at Ding Hu, "You're missing a cook. I can do it! However, I have a condition. I want this youth to be my assistant! "
Ding Hu slightly narrowed his eyes, "You? You can be a cook? "
"Yes! If I don't do it well, I'll let you punish me! "Lu Chen indifferently said.
