Lin Yanli still overestimated Qin Kunyu's ability.
For three days, Quanquan stayed with Qin Kunyu in the pond, but Qin Kunyu failed to build the foundation.
After all, a man who had built his foundation once was actually beaten to pieces by the three ferocious beasts in the sea of consciousness, Can Nian.
Lin Yanli was full of complaints, but still patiently accompanied Qin Kunyu to try a second time, and a third time...
It wasn't until the sixth time that Qin Kunyu managed to kill the three ferocious beasts, Can Nian, and successfully became a second-level foundation-building monk.
According to this, six of the seven Foundation Establishment Pills were consumed.
Qin Kunyu's shriveled belly also became rounder as Lin Yanli pressed his head again and again.
At this time, Qin Kunyu didn't have the energy to complain about whether the water in his stomach was bath water. He was lying on a big rock like a salted fish, completely devoid of the joy of a sudden increase in his cultivation.
He was so useless that when he saw Lin Yanli's look of contempt on his face, he wanted to bury his head in the cracks of the stone.
After spending two days adjusting to his condition, Qin Kunyu began the second round of practice with Li Zhujiu.
Heading northwest, Qin Kunyu began to practice the sword-handling techniques of the second-level sword cultivator while starting to live a life of swordsmanship.
Being beaten up by Lin Yanli and Li Zhujiu every day until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, the advantage was that Qin Kunyu quickly gained a foothold in the Second Realm, and the sapling in his sea of consciousness grew into a big tree.
Cultivation is like building a house. People with good talent build it quickly, while people with dull talent build it slowly. Regardless of whether one is smart or stupid, as long as it takes time to polish it, the house can always be built.
Some people build them magnificently, like palaces in the sky, and some people build them simple and shabby, like century-old houses.
What looks magnificent on the outside may be rotten on the inside, and may be crumbling in strong winds.
A person who looks simple and shabby on the outside may have a solid foundation on the inside and can withstand the storm.
This is the case with spiritual practice. It is not about superficial work, but about the foundation. Only when the foundation is solid and the steps are steady can we achieve great success. Otherwise, no matter how luxurious the appearance is, it will be just a flashy and empty display, not worth mentioning.
Qin Kunyu understands this truth, no matter how hard the daily life is, as long as the foundation of this "house" can be laid firmly, everything will be worth it.
The fallen leaves were blown by the autumn wind and reached Tainan City.
This largest mortal pass in Fenzhou is also the largest border defense city in the Rouge Kingdom. It welcomed four foreigners who had traveled here.
"As usual, this time Li Shang and I went out to buy wine, while Xiaozhujiu and Qin Kunyu went to buy pastries, melons and fruits."
An elegant and smart girl dressed in green clothes walked out of the inn and came to the central market in Tainan City.
Next to her was a young man wearing mysterious clothes and carrying a sword box on his back.
After all, it is a mortal pass, not comparable to a big fairy city like Tianjun City, and the prosperity of the streets is not as prosperous as Tianjun City.
However, from the perspective of ordinary people, Tainan City still deserves the title of the largest city in the Rouge Kingdom's frontier.
The streets were crowded with people of all shapes and sizes.
Now Rouge Country has accepted many refugees from the north, so the people in the city are a mixed bag and speak different languages.
After a little calculation, out of the ten people on the street, five were local residents of the Rouge Kingdom, three were refugees from the north, and the remaining two were travelers from various provinces.
Therefore, in addition to the Mandarin of the Rouge Kingdom, there are also the Mandarin of the Quanyang Dynasty and the Mandarin of the Hanhai Kingdom circulating in the city. The multiple languages are mixed together, and it smells like a big dye vat.
Lin Yanli walked out of the wine shop with two jars of wine in her hands. This time she searched along the street and bought a total of twenty-one types of wine.
Two of the drinks are Tainan City's specialty drinks, and the others are self-brewed by merchants. They have been seen in other places, but the flavors are different and the brewing materials are somewhat different.
After buying drinks, Lin Yanli took Li Shang to a pastry shop.
Looking at the various snacks and desserts on the counter, Li Chang couldn't help but wonder: "Sister A Li, isn't Sister Zhujiu purchasing the cakes, melons and fruits?"
Seeing Li Chang's confusion, Lin Yanli smiled and said, "I'm going to meet a few people later, so I can't go empty-handed."
Li Shang was even more confused about this.
After buying four pastries, Lin Yanli took out a book from his storage bag and searched along the street for the detailed address on the book, and finally came to a house.
The high-walled courtyard has a vermilion gate, and on the lintel is a gold-plated plaque with two words: Zhao Mansion.
Li Chang carried the sword case on his back, and under Lin Yanli's instructions, he arranged his clothes in advance and went forward to knock on the door.
Soon, the door opened a gap, and an old man's face appeared from the gap. He looked at the two people outside the door and asked: "Who is it?"
Lin Yanli smiled and handed a token to the old man's hand through the gap and said: "The old man will send this to your master. After he sees it, he will know who we are."
The old man looked at it suspiciously and asked Lin Yanli and Li Shang to wait outside for a while, allowing him to go over and report.
Soon, the door opened. The old man and several servants stood behind the door and bowed. He bowed their hands to Lin Yanli and Li Shang and said, "I don't know if it was the distinguished guests who came to visit, but the young lady and the young master have been waiting outside for so long.
It's really a crime, I invite you two guests, I'm waiting for you in the study."
Lin Yanli said calmly: "It's where the responsibility lies, so what's the crime?"
Soon, the old man led the two of them through the corridor and arrived at the back garden.
An independent small building stands among the rockery lakes. The small building is surrounded by green trees, pavilions and waterside pavilions. It is unique and looks extremely exquisite. It is a happy place to live.
"Two guests, the master is in the study in front. It is inconvenient for me to go there, so I have to ask the two guests to walk a while." The old man cupped his hands and stepped back.
Lin Yanli watched the old man go away, and did not stay too much in the garden. He led Li Shang up the corridor and came to the front of the attic.
Here, there was a maid standing in front of the stairs waiting early. When she saw Lin Yanli's figure, she gave her a blessing and said: "The master is waiting for you two in the study. The two guests are coming with the maid."
Under the leadership of the maid, Lin Yanli and Li Shang stepped onto the second floor and came to the study room of the mansion.
In the study, a middle-aged man was sitting on the imperial chair. When he saw Lin Yanli and Li Shang entering the room, he winked at the maid.
The maid immediately understood and slowly exited the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
There was no one around, so the middle-aged man immediately stood up and came to Lin Yanli, bending down and saluting Lin Yanli.
"Zhao Qin has met the Immortal Family of the Thousand Demons Sect."
Lin Yanli looked indifferent, waved her sleeves, helped the middle-aged man up, and said warmly: "Don't be nervous, I just came over to see how she is doing?"
Zhao Qin pinched his sleeves and said, "She is studying in the school. Do you want me to summon her?"
Lin Yanli shook her head, "Don't bother, I'll just go over and take a look."
