I became an old man in my leisure time

Bai Suqing nodded: "Bi Hai Jin is just biased towards Yin and cold, and it is different from extreme Yin. Reading М may be similar to the requirements of practicing Lie Yang Zhenjing. If you don't have the talent, your practice will be very slow, or even impossible to get started."

Gu Ke was a little regretful: "Then this is useless to you?"

Hearing this, Bai Suqing couldn't help but cast a caring look at this "martial arts blind": "It's not an extremely Yin body, it's just difficult to practice, not impossible. And it explains the details, requirements, and methods of each round and each turn of promotion clearly and thoroughly. After studying it, it's only a matter of time for me to become a martial arts master."

Gu Ke was delighted: "So Useful? Then Wu Zun..."

At this point, he shut up tactfully, because Sister Bai's caring eyes doubled: "To become a Wu Zun, you need more than just top-grade martial arts. If you don't have enough talent, it's hard to touch it even if you see it clearly. "

She looked at a martial arts blind again, and felt that she had to say the whole thing: "As for the Nine-turn Martial Saint, it's impossible with my talent, so don't worry about it. "

Hearing this, Gu Ke nodded helplessly: "It's okay, at most you can be the strongest Wu Zun, and you have no rivals under the Martial Saint, which is not bad. "

Bai Suqing: ... Wu Zun is really so unbearable in your eyes, and the strongest is just "not bad"?

But thinking of his martial arts "natural burden", she was indifferent: not bad is okay, many ordinary people think that the characteristics of this kind of masters are that they can eat, as if they are all gluttons when discussing the second round of masters.

In comparison, "not bad" is at least a serious comment.

At this moment, Gu Ke suddenly exclaimed and turned his head to look.

Bai Suqing also looked sideways, and his eyes fell on Xiao Ping'er.

After a moment, she looked surprised and whispered: "Has she entered the door?"

Gu Ke also lowered his voice very low: "It should be, wait and see."

After another quarter of an hour, Xiaoman came back to her senses, and before she could speak, Bai Suqing covered her mouth, and the three of them left the south bedroom together.

Close the door, leaving Xiao Ping'er a quiet space.

Outside the door, Gu Ke looked at Bai Suqing: "Do you think it could be..."

Bai Suqing pondered for a few breaths and nodded: "Even if she is not an extremely yin body, she is more suitable for the Sunflower Sutra than Xiaoman and me."

Hearing this, Xiaoman looked disappointed and rubbed the ground with her toes.

Gu Ke noticed it and rubbed her head: "Okay, it's just not suitable, but it's not impossible to practice. I will definitely find a martial art that suits you in the future."

Xiaoman hummed, and her spirits finally improved.

Gu Ke then whispered to Bai Suqing: "This Sunflower Scripture requires an extremely yin physique. How useful is it to the young lady?"

"Of course it is very helpful." Bai Suqing glanced at him: "I said it's useless, so you won't give it to her?"

Gu Ke chuckled: "Sister Bai is magnanimous, she won't do this."

Bai Suqing snorted: "I'll go find her after dinner."

Gu Ke just nodded and stopped discussing this topic.

Xiao Ping'er inexplicably entered a state of cultivation, or an internal cultivation that the lower three turns did not have, and it stopped automatically after an hour.

She opened her eyes, and two dark lights flashed in her eyes, and then disappeared.

Gu Ke and the other two came in, and Bai Suqing checked her body and asked about the situation of her chakra blood orifices in her body. Then he said: "Except for the promotion to the second turn, everything is normal."

Gu Ke:...Is it normal for you to say such things to me, a person who has not turned?

He was still happy in his heart despite his complaints.

If you get a top-grade martial arts, but find that there is no suitable person to practice it, that would be really depressing.

Now that my own hired worker can practice, this group will not lose money, but make a lot of money.

At this time, it was getting dark, and Juqin came to invite them to dinner.

The dinner on the first day of the New Year was not more sumptuous than last night, but the taste was much richer.

Xiantian was powerful. In just half a day, the onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns began to sprout new shoots, and many young leaves emerged from the mature wild vegetables.

Gu Ke took Xiaoman to pick a lot of them and blanched them as side dishes.

Add a little salt and a small amount of peppercorns, and the salt and pepper flavored pancakes are out of the oven, which is in contrast with the sugar-filled pancakes (brown sugar pot cakes).

After dinner, Bai Suqing went to Miss Qin's north bedroom and talked for a long time before coming out.

At this time, Gu Ke had already returned to his east bedroom to sleep, and had no dreams all night.

…

When the New Year came, Gu Ke did not do anything else, and continued to make standard bamboo houses.

The 80 units of soul source provided by the ghost crystal have been used up, and the 24 units of soul source provided by the sunflower demon are still there - Sister Bai did not sign the friend contract, so 10 points of soul source were saved.

Now the study, kitchen, bathroom, and pergola are still level 0. The original price of upgrading to level 1 is 20 units of soul source.

Using the standard bamboo house at a discount, only 8 units of soul source are needed, and 24 soul sources can upgrade three buildings.

There are four level 0 system buildings at present, and one must be saved for next time.

Gu Ke thought about it, Bai Suqing and Miss Qin had the sunflower scripture, which was equivalent to the academic master getting the standard reference answer, and they could pass it without thinking.

What they lacked was the hardware, the perfect harmony of the chakra blood orifice.

The short-term goal of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum was to restart the second round. There were a lot of ready-made "reference answers" in the Lieyang Sect, and higher enlightenment was just icing on the cake.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter and the two children were only at the second level at most. In the first round, they could reach the third level simply by accumulating blood and qi, and they also did not need to increase their enlightenment urgently.

In this way, the study upgrade can wait until the next time you harvest soul sources.

After the other three system buildings are upgraded to level 1, there are two main changes. One is that the floor area increases from two points to four points, and the other is that the original building characteristics +5 increases to +6.

Gu Ke adjusted the pergola and added resting pavilions at intervals along the corridor, one large and two small.

In spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are many people practicing martial arts in Erxiao, so they can use the big pavilion. Miss Qin and Bai Suqing, who like to sit around, have the small pavilion to themselves.

The stone benches that occupy the kitchen and bathroom areas are designated to expand to the west.

There are no major changes in the kitchen, but the fire outlets of the heaven and earth oven have been changed to two, which is equivalent to a double stove.

Including the small oven that can be moved at will, that's three stoves. You no longer have to fight for the stove when cooking New Year's Eve dinner.

I put a little more thought into the bathroom room and used the architectural fine-tuning authority to separate the southeast, northwest and northwest areas.

After being divided into blocks, the south bathroom is the smallest and only has one set of bathroom and bathroom facilities, which is exclusively used by Bai Suqing.

The other three sides are the same size. They are two adjacent and separated bathrooms, each with separate bathroom facilities.

Gu Ke naturally chose the one on the east side as a private bathroom, and the remaining one was shared by the two children.

Miss Qin asked for one room on the north side and shared the other room with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.

The two rooms on the west side are shared by spring, summer, autumn and winter.

There is also the quiet and dazed Salanzhu, Xiao Ping'er will take her to their room regularly to clean it up.

After all the soul resources were spent, the water consumption on Jade Dragon Peak also increased.

Nowadays, all the girls must take a shower once a day. Qin and Bai each have an ice bathtub and a concentration bathtub, which cannot be left unused.

We need to get water from a stream dozens of feet away, but we can't just throw the water tank into a shallow stream.

Secondly, there is a lot of water for cooking, making tea, and watering the fields.

Use up the soul source, and you don’t have to worry about using the purple bamboo anymore.

So, Gu Ke began to tinker with the "tap water system" of the hut.

First, find a suitable place higher up the creek to divert the stream.

Then deepen the stone at the bottom to create a stone pit about six feet long, wide and three feet deep.

After being diverted back to the stream, it became a brand new small pool, which can also be called a reservoir.

Selecting the two-foot-long part from the thickest bottom to the middle of the purple bamboo, Bai Suqing used Bihaijin to control a sharp +5 small bamboo knife to penetrate the bamboo joints.

Then the natural diameter difference between the upper and lower parts of the purple bamboo is used to fit the two parts together, and the gaps inside the joints are plugged with tough and incorruptible gray thatch, and the iron wire rattan is used to tighten the outside of the joints.

Place the bamboo pipe joint on the X-shaped bamboo frame fixed on the ground, and go down dozens of feet from the reservoir to the high slope above the kitchen.

A large covered water tank with purifying properties was placed there to catch the stream water left behind.

There are two water outlets at the bottom of the large water tank. Bamboo pipes are connected, and one leads to the bathroom room farther west to provide shower water.

The other leads to the kitchen and is used for cooking and drinking.

At the bottom of the large water tank is another stone pit dug by Gu Ke, which collects the stream water flowing out from the mouth of the tank, and then flows out from the two U-shaped bamboo water troughs in the east gap, passing through both sides of Xiantian, and finally returns to the stream below Xiantian. .

There are simple faucets at the end of the "water pipes" in bathrooms and kitchens.

A cylindrical wooden plug inserted vertically can block the steering head and shut off the water flow.

After lifting, the water flow can flow through the steering head and enter the water tank downwards.

Although this simple faucet is leaking a little, it doesn't hurt if there is a water tank connected to it.

In the past, old-fashioned faucets were prone to leakage, and many people did not want to waste water, so they did this.

As soon as the tap water system was "completed", it was immediately praised by all the women.

Fetching water or something like that is quite troublesome.

Moreover, fetching water usually involves other things as a "prelude", and a lot of time is wasted waiting.

With tap water, water can be obtained at any time in the kitchen, bathroom, and fairy field. It is not too convenient.

Gu Ke accepted the praise from the girls, but he was thinking about another thing: if he could build a reservoir, could he also build a water-powered mill?

Although Miss Qin is stronger than the donkeys in the production team, she cannot work like a donkey every day.

Grinding flour is easier with water power. The difficulty lies in how to "integrate" the water power mill into the processing workshop.

The system hasn't provided this item yet, so he has to do it himself if he wants to be lazy.

Hmm... I'm not in a hurry right now. I've never seen the structure of a water-powered mill with my own eyes. There are too many problems in making it. Gu Ke shook his head: If you think about this, you might as well think about how to activate the roadside stall.

After experiencing the activity, he automatically learned the activation conditions for the roadside stall - 100 units of soul source.

Without 100 units of soul source, the system will not display the activation option, so we can only wait.

During this time, he was busy with the water supply system, and others were not idle either.

Bai Suqing spent three days in her free time after dinner to explain the Sunflower Sutra to Miss Qin.

A week later, Miss Qin returned the favor and spent three days explaining the Lieyang Sutra.

Of course, Miss Qin knew that the Sunflower Scripture was given to her by Gu Ke, and Bai Suqing also knew that the Lieyang Scripture was actually given to Gu Ke.

Unfortunately, his "outstanding" martial arts talent left both women helpless.

Gu Ke made a special trip to the north bedroom and talked with Miss Qin alone for a while.

After returning, he asked Bai Suqing to recite the Lie Yang Sutra completely and record it in the martial arts skill column of the system.

Sure enough, the system judged that the Lieyang Manual was also of the highest quality.

Because Miss Qin warned them in advance, none of them would practice this thing randomly.

It's okay if it doesn't succeed. After success, there will be strong Yang blood in the body, which will conflict with the original blood and hinder the improvement.

Gu Ke didn't care about this, but...he couldn't get in.

Even if Lieyang Jingshen is recorded in the martial arts skill column, there is a note behind it (not yet started), and it cannot be taught to others.

Xiaoman is not an extremely yin physique, so she should continue to practice the soft body skills that are more suitable for her.

Xiaoping'er, who is suspected to have an extremely yin physique, has made rapid progress and has surpassed the others. She has a tendency to enter the third level.

In addition, the sunflower scripture that has been initiated can be used as a reference and as the best textbook for the two children to learn to read and write.

Nothing is more suitable as a textbook than a top-grade martial arts that has been initiated.

There are many words and a wide range of topics, and initiation also avoids ambiguity.

You only need to refer to the sunflower scripture, remember each word and meaning, and recognize more than 2,000 different characters involved, which is enough for daily reading and writing.

Moreover, if you forget a word and its meaning in your mind, you can re-confirm it by recalling the martial arts, which is equivalent to carrying a teacher of recognizing words with you.

Recognizing words in this way is much easier than others.

On Miss Qin's side, Gu Ke specifically pointed out that plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum can also be studied and practiced in the Sunflower Sutra. The five masters and servants soon immersed themselves in it and studied this extremely detailed "reference teaching aid".

Spring, summer, autumn and winter take turns to cook and do chores every day, and practice martial arts for at least two hours. The rest of the time can be freely used to make their own attempts.

Gu Ke brought back a lot of seeds and plants from Xiongjia Village, many of which have the effects of food, medicine and spices.

This was discovered by Dongyan when making incense.

Spice plants can be divided into edible spices and industrial spices. The former include pepper, star anise, fennel, etc., and the latter include sandalwood, rose, lavender, etc.

And like patchouli, mint, basil, chrysanthemum, osmanthus, etc., can be used to extract spices (essence) or directly eaten.

But Dongyan didn't think of this when she first introduced herself.

Afterwards, there were not many materials in the valley for her to make incense, so it was useless to mention it.

When she saw the various flowers and plants traded by the villagers of Xiongjia Village, she remembered and told Gu Ke.

Gu Ke was very happy about this.

In the previous life, it was modern society. People planted more than 100 kinds of daily edible spices on a large scale, most of which can be bought in supermarkets.

But it was too much to ask him to remember what these spices looked like when they were "alive".

At most, he remembered what they looked like in the dishes, and many of them were still in the form of broken bones.

Speaking of which, when Gu Ke played the Xiuxian mini-game, he remembered the names of many crops, medicines, flowers and plants, as well as their approximate appearances - of course, they were all cartoon versions.

People who were born and raised in the city can't tell the difference between onions and garlic sprouts, and pointing to wheat seedlings and calling them leeks is definitely not a joke.

So, Dongyan had an additional task to help take care of, pick, and prepare these spices, and study with Chunxia how to use them correctly when cooking.

Anyway, the leaves of these plants grow fast, and a large piece of tender leaves emerges in the fairy field every day, and it would be a waste if they are not picked.
