Fortunately, with the excuse of traveling, he received a considerable amount of money. Aunt Caihong also secretly gave him a lot of money. In her words, this money was saved by not buying exam questions.
Growing up, he had always used his family's allowance. He felt a little ashamed, but he really did not find a way to get rich. Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he lacked talent in making money.
However, shouldn't family members support each other like this? Everyone had something they were good at. Why should he be so calculative about whether he could make money? Protecting Lou Province was his responsibility.
This was the thinking of lazy people. He felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was right and proper for a son to eat his mother!
He had to take some time to cultivate during the day and sleep at night. It was impossible to take shortcuts during the journey. In this way, he could not walk much in a day.
Thirty percent travel, thirty percent scenery, and thirty percent cultivation. This kind of method was very intoxicating to him. He was a little suspicious. After this wild behavior, would he still be obediently cooped up in the Lou Residence and not leave in the future?
The dusk in the Gobi Desert was exceptionally beautiful if one ignored the potential danger.
On the sandy beach, two camels and a man were running and chasing each other … Yes, ever since he entered the Gobi Desert, Lou Xiaoyi had not ridden a Desert Camel. Instead, he used the Tornado Escape Armor to compete with the Desert Camel in speed and endurance. This was a natural place to train his feet. It would be a waste of opportunity if he sat on a camel's hump and dozed off like a normal person.
In Lou Province and Pu City, there was no such opportunity to run to his heart's content! It was only in this kind of running that he could completely familiarize himself with switching between the three gears. Only then could he truly understand the most economical and efficient way to run with his spiritual power!
These were all experiences that could not be gained by being cooped up in the study room. They were extremely important experiences!
It was the tenth day since they had entered the Gobi Desert. According to their travel schedule, they would slowly approach the core of the Gobi Desert from here onwards. Along the way, Lou Xiaoyi did not come into contact with anyone, nor did he see anyone. It was not that there were no transmigrators in the Gobi Desert, but the merchant caravans that traversed the Gobi Desert were guided by experienced guides. They took the safest route, which was the closest to the water source. This was completely different from Lou Xiaoyi's tangential line.
Before the sky turned completely dark, Lou Xiaoyi skillfully found a leeward spot and sat on the back of a sandy hill. He laid down a stake, tied the dessert camels, and poured precious clean water for them. He had filled the water three days ago when he came across a small oasis.
Then, he had to build his own small tent. The key was to nail the stakes firmly. Otherwise, when the wind blew in the middle of the night, the tent would fly away without a trace before he could react. He had already lost one set, and this was the last set. If it was blown away again, he could only squeeze with the smelly desert camels to sleep at night.
The tent was very short. Because it was too high, he could not stand upright. He could barely sit with his legs crossed.
Barbecuing in the Gobi Desert was a beautiful dream, but he could only think about it and not do it. Here, water, biscuits, and jerky could be boiled over a fire until they softened. If he ordered them in a hurry, he would just stuff the three things into his mouth and stomach and let them stir on their own.
Reality, let fantasy go far. But perhaps, immortals could do it, right?
Lou Xiaoyi sat cross-legged beside a Sea Buckthorn, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and began his cultivation today. Other people would prefer to have a clear view from a high place or hide in a pit. Lou Xiaoyi, on the other hand, preferred to rely on things with vitality to cultivate. He would feel uneasy if he was next to people. Only plants could let him feel a trace of vitality during his cultivation.
This was a strange hobby. It came from his previous life, when he was lonely, he did not trust people or animals. He only had a special fondness for plants. In the Lou Residence, there was the care and concern of the two old ladies, so this feeling of loneliness was much weaker. However, once he left, he reverted to his old ways.
In the end, he was actually a person who longed to be cared for. But because he could not open his heart, he could not integrate into the lively world.
In his free mood, Lou Xiaoyi completed his cultivation this time. He replenished the spiritual energy he lost during the day when he used Hidden Armor to run. But the increase was very limited. Maybe it was because he was in nature, so it was better than in the city. But it was not much better. He hoped for such a change, but it was still far away.
Cultivation was a miraculous process. It wasn't as simple as accumulation, where one could just sit there and meditate day after day. A better way was to consume, replenish, consume again, and replenish again. The process of strengthening one's Dantian would be much faster than just sitting there all the time.
But the consumption of spiritual energy in the Dantian also meant danger. This needed to be balanced and adapted to local conditions.
When he finished his cultivation, the sky was completely dark. Lou Xiaoyi was too lazy to start a fire. He stuffed the hard jerky and the equally hard biscuits into his mouth and chewed slowly with water. Fortunately, his cultivation gave him a good set of teeth, so he was able to cope.
After the meal, he used the Reckless Ox Body to replace digestion. Lou Xiaoyi practiced this because he did not have many choices. Since everyone said that there was not much meaning in practicing spells during the Qi Eater stage, he followed the advice. The experience of the seniors always had its reasons.
The Reckless Ox Body was a purely blood and Qi training method. It did not require any external help. Lou Xiaoyi was very satisfied with this point. At least it proved that this method was not an evil one. At this stage, there were too few ways to fight. Moreover, he had not been in contact with cultivation for a long time. If he really practiced spells, he would not have any advantage over others. It would be better to take an unorthodox path and train his body. This should not be a big problem, right?
The specialty of this body training method was that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy in the body. In fact, it used spiritual energy to strengthen the blood and Qi in the body. From another point of view, it could be used to consume the spiritual energy in the body. It would be beneficial for him to catch insects and complete his last cultivation for the day.
The temperature dropped quickly, but he had just finished practicing the Reckless Ox Body. His whole body was full of blood and Qi, so he could still withstand it.
He quickly dug a hole in the sand. This was something he had been doing for a few months. He was very familiar with it. He did not use a porcelain bottle. He directly poured a few drops of Dolphin Thread Incense into the bottom of the hole. Then he sat beside the hole and waited.
As he got closer to the core area of the desert, the amount of Dolphin Thread Incense he poured into the hole decreased because …
One after another, white sand worms appeared from the bottom of the hole. They greedily crawled toward the Dolphin Thread Incense. It was as if the fragrance that humans could not smell had a fatal attraction to them.
Since he did not pour a lot of Dolphin Thread Incense, the number of white sand worms did not increase when there were more than 30 of them. Just when Lou Xiaoyi thought that this was the end of the day and was about to go down to look for insects, he saw a little thing from the corner of his eye that was different from the other white sand worms.
It was still in the shape of a white sand worm, but its abdomen was different from the other white sand worms. There was a faint red line on its abdomen.
The thing had crawled out a long time ago, but from the surface, it looked no different from the other white sand worms. Perhaps the smell of the pufferfish was too good, so it rolled around and allowed Lou Xiaoyi to notice the different blood line.
