Chapter 7 Baptism of Newcomers

"etc!"

Chen Rui turned around and asked, "Is there anything else for senior brother?"

The mouse-eyed young man pondered for a moment, took out a booklet from his arms and said, "Hold it!"

Chen Rui pondered for a moment, took it, bowed to the rat-eyed young man again, and then turned around and left.

Walking through rows of houses, Chen Rui saw many young men wearing coarse linen along the way. They were all in a hurry, either holding props for chopping wood or carrying wooden barrels.

But these people all looked cold and looked tired.

Although Chen Rui had speculations about this, he did not have too many ideas. He just found his own house and pushed the door open and entered.

The room was not big, and there was no other furniture except for two wooden beds and a table and two stools. The whole room was cleaned spotlessly, although it looked monotonous, but it was clean and tidy.

Chen Rui walked towards an unused wooden bed and sat down. Without any trouble, he simply picked up the Qi Condensation Art and looked around.

It was not until Chen Rui closed the booklet that he had seen nightfall and had a certain understanding of the condensation of Qi in his heart.

The so-called condensation of qi emphasizes breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accumulating spiritual energy into the body, changing the physical constitution of mortals, and laying a solid foundation for future practice.

Condensation of Qi is the first realm on the path of cultivation, and it is divided into ten levels. Although it is the most basic of practice, it is also the place where the most tests the practitioner's talent. Between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of nature is invisible and intangible, and only monks can understand and absorb it.

If the spiritual roots in the body are sufficient, the speed of breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be very fast, and the speed of cultivation will naturally be much faster. But if you have ordinary talents, you may not even reach the first level of Qi Condensation.

This Qi Condensation Art is a common practice of cultivators in mainland China. If all of them can be practiced, it can achieve the perfection of Qi Condensation, which is the tenth level of Qi Condensation.

However, he found that the Qi Condensation Method given to him by the mouse-eyed young man was only the first three levels. The subsequent mental method was not recorded in this booklet.

Suddenly, he remembered another booklet given by the Rat-eyed Young Man and was about to open it to read it.

A thin boy pushed open the door and walked in with a tired look on his face. When he saw Chen Rui, he was stunned. He looked carefully and ignored him. After closing the door, he lay on his back on the bed.

Chen Rui didn't care and continued to look through another booklet.

As he read, Chen Rui was shocked. The booklet actually recorded the mental method of condensing Qi for four to five levels. He closed the booklet and put it alone in his arms, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"If I expected it was right, each servant here should have a mental method for the first three levels of Qi Condensation Art, but why would he give me the fourth and fifth levels of mental method alone?" Because he had a short time to contact the young man with the mouse-eyed, Chen Rui could not guess the reason.

He knew that he would get up early tomorrow to carry water and chop wood. He pondered for a while, but still lay down and prepared to go to bed.

"You don't have to hurry this time. Let's start trying the breathing method of the first level of Qi Condensation Art tomorrow."

At this time, the young man lying opposite suddenly moved, got up and stared at Chen Rui, and whispered: "Are you new here?"

Chen Rui sat up, glanced at the boy, nodded, and said nothing.

The boy subconsciously looked at the door, then turned his head and lowered his voice, "Then you should pay attention tomorrow. You are new here and don't know the situation here. Although this miscellaneous item is under the jurisdiction of Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Zhang is practicing on weekdays, and he handed over the affairs here to the one-eyed wolf."

"One-eyed wolf?" Chen Rui asked curiously.

"That's right, the one-eyed wolf was originally an elder of the outer sect. Because he broke a pot of elixirs from the outer sect, he was driven out of the outer sect and was punished to work in a chore. Although he was originally a elixir, he had already cultivated into the second level of Qi Condensation. This one-eyed wolf was full of bad water, and you will know when you work tomorrow."

"Grandma, he doesn't treat the servants here as humans on weekdays. When I came, I was baptized. With his background, there were a few servants following behind his butt. You have to be careful." The boy gritted his teeth and explained a long paragraph.

Chen Rui's expression was plain and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I'll pay more attention tomorrow. As long as I finish my own work, there will be no problem."

The boy sighed and said, "Brother, it's better to be as easy as what you said. When you know what baptism is, you won't say that."

Chen Rui was stunned and said, "Is there any problem?"

"For the baptism of the newcomer, the ten woods must be the giant woods that the two of them hugged each other, and the ten tanks must be the special big tank in the servitude office... You will understand tomorrow." The young man sighed and lay down.

Anger erupted in Chen Rui's heart and said to himself: "Although I still know if I can beat the monks of the second level of Qi Condensation, I am really bullied like this. I want the one-eyed wolf to know the feeling of kicking it to the iron plate."

Chen Rui suppressed his thoughts and lay down, and fell asleep in a short while.

The next morning, before the sunlight could emerge, Chen Rui got up from the bed.

In the boundless forest, he got up earlier than this to facilitate hunting of monsters that got up early to find food.

He glanced at his roommate who was still snoring, sighed, then changed into clothes in the debris and walked towards the debris area.

When he arrived at his destination, he saw a young man in gray, with three servants standing behind him. This man had a one-eyed eye, and it seemed that he was the one-eyed wolf that his roommate called. At this moment, the one-eyed wolf looked up and down with contempt, and said, "Are you the new servant who came yesterday?"

Chen Rui glanced at him, looked calm, and said lightly: "Senior Brother, here is Chen Rui!"

The one-eyed young man raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Boy, I don't know what Brother Zhang from the servant department said to you, but listen to me! From today on, before the sun rises, you have come to me to report that your job is to chop ten woods and carry ten tanks of water every day. If you don't finish it, you will have no food to eat."

Chen Rui said lightly: "I know, Senior Brother Juvenile said it."

The one-eyed wolf raised his hand to block it and sneered: "Slow down, that's the rule of the senior brother of the mail. I still have my rules! Remember, as long as the work is not completed, there will be no food to eat."

Chen Rui's expression still did not change, and he said, "Senior Brother, have you finished speaking? I'm going to work after I finish speaking."

Hearing this, the muscles on the one-eyed wolf's face were shaking and said sarcastically: "Oh, it's so crazy! OK, okay, you have to work, okay, this is a sickle and a bucket, go east along the servitude, there is a spring water there, and there is a forest near the spring water."

After saying that, he turned around and picked up an axe and two buckets and handed it to Chen Rui.

Chen Rui couldn't help frowning when he saw it. The axe was rusty and the blade was blunt. As for the bucket, it lacked a large horn, which could be used to hold up to 60% of the water. No matter how much it is, it would definitely overflow from the gap.

Chen Rui didn't say anything, took the axe and bucket in silence, turned around and left.

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet!" The one-eyed wolf's voice sounded again.

Chen Rui suppressed his anger, turned around and looked at the one-eyed wolf, and said word by word: "What else is there?"

"Hehe, I forgot to tell you that it is the ten tanks of water you want to fill!" The one-eyed wolf pointed to a corner of the debris area, and there were ten extra-large water tanks in the direction of his finger. Although this extra-large water tank was not as big as Chen Rui's room, it was not much different.

"Yes, as for the ten trees you want to cut, the giant trees you need to hug on both sides. If they are small, that doesn't count!" The one-eyed wolf continued.

Chen Rui held the handle of the bucket tightly with both hands, and was on the verge of explosion at this moment.

The one-eyed wolf looked at Chen Rui's expression, with a playful look on his face, and said mentally: "Raise, just wait for you to explode. Since I exploded the elder's alchemy furnace, my situation is not very good now. If I take the initiative to kill this kid, I'm afraid it will be a little trouble. But if the other party takes action first, the reason is for me. Even if I kill this kid on the spot, no one will stand up for him!"

Chen Rui stared at the one-eyed wolf, then took a deep breath, calmed down, turned around and left.

The one-eyed wolf looked at Chen Rui's back and then signaled his left and right with his eyes.

The three servants behind him understood and followed quickly.

Chen Rui walked a long way before he arrived at the spring water that the one-eyed wolf said was located. The scenery here is beautiful, the sound of water is rustling, and there is a large forest nearby, with traces of being cut down.

Chen Rui had no intention of watching the scenery, and at this moment he was filled with anger.

He wanted to explode just now, but looking at the other party's joking expression, he took back his mind.

"This person must be of the kind of psychological distortion. Because he was expelled from the foreign sect and relied on his own cultivation, he specifically bullied us servants, especially those who are new to me, to expose his anger. But he did not take the initiative, which was a bit strange. Could it be that it was because of some reason that he could not take action first?" Chen Rui's eyes flashed, and he was thinking a little.

Chen Rui did not take the initiative, not because he was afraid of the cultivators at the second level of Qi Condensation, but mainly because he thought of this level.

Chen Rui withdrew his mind, clenched his fists, and said intimately: "No matter what, I have to increase my strength quickly so that I can deal with all emergencies. As for work, I can do this!"

He really didn't see much of the current dilemma. When he recalled the scene of the white-clad man in Taohua Village being surrounded and killed, and the two years of life in the forest, the threat that the one-eyed wolf brought to him was just a pediatric department.

At this moment, a harsh voice sounded: "Hey, newcomer, come here."

Chen Rui turned around and looked at it. It turned out to be the three servants who were standing behind the one-eyed wolf just now.

He chose to ignore it, turned around and started to use the wooden barrel to carry water.

The three of them showed sarcastic expressions on their faces and did not make any noise. When Chen Rui approached, one of the bearded men flew up and kicked the wooden barrel over.

The man stared at Chen Rui with his bull eyes, and said murderously: "Boy, you are so crazy, you dare not even listen to the words of the uncle!"
