Now, he would use a Red Thread Worm every night in the desert, in addition to a few drops of Dolphin Thread Incense to attract hundreds of normal White Sand Worms.
After being stung, he would release these insects back into the desert, and then he would start running for several hours. Basically, he would run from the beginning of the night until the end of the night, a full six hours. His Dantian was almost empty, and he would be able to run out of the Earth Cliff Cave a hundred and eighty miles away.
When he returned to the cave at midnight, it was already midnight. It was unrealistic to go back to the city, as the city gate was already closed. If he climbed over the city wall, it would be hard to avoid being discovered too many times, which would shock the world.
Most importantly, he could lie on top of the cave and look at the stars!
This was another hobby he discovered. It was as if looking at the countless stars in the sky above the desert gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if they had been friends for countless years!
He could understand that this was an illness of the soul that had drifted in the universe for too long!
He was already used to that kind of loneliness and solitude. On this point, sleeping in the study was completely different from using the sky as a blanket and earth as a bed.
Here, because it was far away from people and buildings, there was no human breath. It was as if he had completely merged with nature. When he opened his eyes, it was as if he was surrounded by the starry sky. The starry sky was him, and he was the starry sky!
What a wonderful feeling!
Lou Xiaoyi had been in this state for more than three months, and he had gained a lot!
He had reached the end of the Reckless Ox Body. He did not know if he should be happy or disappointed.
The speed of the Tornado Escape Technique had reached its peak, including the improvement of the Wind Wing Formation. After countless versions, he had finally found the most suitable one for him. This could only be said to be temporary. As his cultivation increased, his knowledge widened, and his understanding of formations improved, there would definitely be room for improvement. But he also understood that there was no need to put his energy into this. After he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be time to throw away the jade slip. At that time, he would come into contact with the true Escape Technique.
According to his own judgment, his cultivation had increased by nearly ten times compared to before he entered the Gobi Desert. This was a number that was too low and had no practical significance. However, he still believed that he should have reached the intermediate stage of Qi Eater.
Just yesterday, his dantian had begun to shine. There was a glimmer of light flickering. This was a slight qualitative change caused by a quantitative change. Unfortunately, the Middle Parallel Qi Art did not describe this in too much detail. He had no choice but to admit that these exercises obtained by his old man Lou Sima were truly the most basic of things. Things that could not be any simpler.
An ordinary mortal, even if he was a high official, was separated by a mountain from the world of cultivators. In Lou Sima's eyes, anything that was extraordinary might be the most worthless thing in the cultivation world.
Lou Xiaoyi had no choice but to face it. All of his cultivation methods were no longer enough in front of someone who had grown up, including those bamboo slips on water and fire.
"It's time to go out! Even if it's a rice worm, after this bag of rice is finished, shouldn't it be replaced? "
In the adventure in the depths of the Gobi a few months ago, he had spent more than ten days with seven other cultivators. Other than learning how to control and sort the white sand worms, he had also occasionally received a few words of advice from these people. It was not about specific skills, but about the survival principles of Rogue Cultivators.
There were also discussions about skills, spells, magical instruments, and medicinal pills. When they talked about these things, it was inevitable that they would bring it out.
One of the things they mentioned was Crane Mountain. It was located in Zhaoye Country. At the foot of the mountain was a small town called Xian Lai Town. There was a cultivation orthodoxy on Crane Mountain that was hidden from the world. It was difficult for outsiders to see its true appearance. It was shrouded in thick fog all year round, making it difficult to distinguish the path.
However, the Town of Xian Lai at the foot of the mountain did not refuse outsiders. In fact, the so-called outsiders who could come to such a remote place were the Itinerant Cultivators of all ages in the nearby area. They came here because the Taoist orthodoxy of Crane Mountain had opened a shop in the town. They sold the finished products made by the cultivators on the mountain and also collected strange things collected by the Itinerant Cultivators from all over the world.
As time went by, Xianlai Town slowly developed into a market that specialized in trade for cultivators. The market was not large, and there were dozens of shops. Most of them were opened by Rogue Cultivators. This was because the Taoist orthodoxy of Crane Mountain was secretly suppressing this place, so there was a guarantee of safety. There was no need to worry about robberies and robberies occurring.
Its reputation slowly spread. At the very least, in Zhaoye Country, it was a place that was somewhat famous in the cultivation world.
Lou Xiaoyi, who had not integrated into the cultivation world at all, paid attention to this kind of news very much and had an impression of Crane Mountain.
He was a cautious person. After he heard about it, he did not continue to ask about it. He did not want to expose his ignorance. Since there was such a town in the mortal world, it must be in the government's records. There was a mountain and a town, so he was not afraid that he could not find out the specific location.
After returning to Pu City, he used the excuse of traveling as a hobby and went to the Academy a few times. With the help of an old teacher who was proficient in geography, he quickly found out the location. It was about a thousand miles south of Pu City. Although it was out of the county, it was not far away. Moreover, it was surrounded by bustling cities. There was no big problem with its safety.
Lou Xiaoyi knew very well that in this low-level cultivation world, although individual cultivators were rare, they were only relative to ordinary people. In terms of absolute numbers, they were not a small number. There were many places like Xianlai Town in Zhaoye Country. It was just that it was a little famous in the nearby areas. It was reasonable that it was not far away.
Everyone was a poor cultivator who ate Qi. Their legs were limited. It was unrealistic to expect them to say that there was a big market or a big cultivation orthodoxy thousands of miles away.
He had been hesitating about whether he should go to this place. He had been hesitating for three months. Now, he had no choice. He had resources like the red thread worms, but he did not have a suitable cultivation method to make full use of them. Therefore, he had the idea to go.
It was just a long trip. He estimated that if everything went well, he could come back in a month. He just wanted to broaden his knowledge and see if he could find something.
He had no intention of becoming an apprentice, let alone joining the orthodoxy. It did not matter if he was qualified to do so.
Lou Xiaoyi had never thought of leaving his mother to explore the outside world when his parents were around. If he wanted to do so, it would be after the two old ladies were a hundred years old.
His soul drifting in the universe had cultivated his lonely character. When he came into contact with the two old ladies, he was completely captured by their love and care. He was lonely, but he also yearned to be cared for the most.
It seemed very contradictory, but he was such a contradictory person!
Sometimes, he would think that they were both cared for. What was the difference between marrying a wife and caring for him and the care from two elders?
Why did he accept the care from the two old ladies naturally, but resist the care from the younger ones?
Later, he understood that he did not want to be burdened by a wife, a son, a grandson. There was no end to it. If he fell into this trap, he would not be able to realize any of his wishes. Because of the countless worries, he would not be able to get away. He would not have the opportunity or time to selfishly satisfy his own interests.
Besides, this was also an explanation to the real Lou Xiaoyi in this world!
He thought about it carefully. He felt that in this world dominated by mortals, the cultivators were not so arrogant. There must be something restraining them. It was just that he could not feel it at his current level.
It was just a month. He thought of it as a reward for his Chinese test. He found an excuse for himself.
