Chapter 22: The Days When Half the Servants Have No Robbery to Do

Li Huayuan was quite disappointed when he learned of Sun Zecheng's final choice, but he didn't say anything in the end. The die was cast, the speed of cultivation had been halved, and with Sun Zecheng's aptitude of three spiritual roots, there was no hope for him to form a pill in this lifetime. What else could he say?

However, since Sun Zecheng has given up the hope of forming a pill, that's fine. If there are any chores, just ask him to run errands!
"Zhecheng, take this package to your Uncle Lei and give it to him. He knows it, so there's no need to say anything."

"Zhecheng, send this copy of the Qingyuan Sword Technique that I personally wrote to Han Li. He is also my registered disciple. I gave it to you before, but haven't given it to him yet."

"Zecheng, follow this list and go to the market to buy some alchemy medicine."

"Zhecheng, the squirrels in the Green Wave Cave have nothing to eat. Go to Qilin Pavilion and buy some of their favorite pear fruit and spiritual pine nuts."

"Zecheng, this Jade Rabbit has gotten dirty for some reason. Please help it wash. Remember to be gentle and don't scare my precious Jade Rabbit."

"Yu Kun, Ze Cheng, several of Master's wife's fellow Taoists are coming today. You two should clean up the cave and prepare some spiritual fruits and delicacies to entertain the guests!"

"Yu Kun, Ze Cheng, your Master Hong Fo is coming today. You two should clean up the cave and prepare some spiritual fruits and delicacies. Also, Yu Kun, go to the cellar and get my best spiritual wine!"

"Yu Kun, Ze Cheng, the spiritual grains in the Green Wave Cave are ripe. The two of you should harvest them. Leave 1,000 kilograms for Yu Kun to make wine, and Ze Cheng can take the rest to sell in the market!"

……

In this way, while enjoying the abundant spiritual energy of the Green Wave Cave, Sun Zecheng gradually became a half-servant of Li Huayuan and his wife!
I said half because there was also the senior brother Yu Kun to share the burden! Sun Zecheng now finally understood why Yu Kun, as the senior brother, was so bad at kung fu! Before Sun Zecheng came, Yu Kun was called an apprentice but was actually a free domestic servant for Li Huayuan and his wife! He did odd jobs and ran errands all day long, it would be strange if his kung fu was strong!

Yu Kun himself has already adapted to and accepted this kind of life in his heart! He grew up in Green Wave Cave and has never experienced the lonely and hard life of Han Li, let alone the wanton robbery life of Sun Zecheng!
Yu Kun was not even very serious about cultivation. He was cultivating the "Gui Yuan Gong" that Li Huayuan wanted Sun Zecheng to cultivate. Because the technique was good and the Green Wave Cave was rich in spiritual energy, Yu Kun's cultivation speed was naturally much faster than that of ordinary disciples. Even if he practiced casually, he was still much faster than ordinary disciples. Therefore, Yu Kun was very satisfied and did not feel that there was any need to practice hard.

Yu Kun has lived a carefree life under the protection of Li Huayuan since childhood. Lu Bo Cave is very safe, there is no danger, and there is no shortage of food and drink. The only thing he lacks is someone to chat with!

Originally, there was a fourth junior brother named Song Meng living in Lu Bo Cave, but he is not there now. He was sent by Li Huayuan to do some work. But even if Song Meng was there, he would not chat!

Song Meng is a hardworking monk and a martial arts fanatic! Besides hard work, he also seeks out people to fight! When Yu Kun talks to Song Meng, Song Meng always says: "Brother Yu, are you free? Come, let's have a fight!"

At first, Yu Kun relied on his high level of cultivation to suppress Song Meng, but Song Meng was a hard worker and a battle maniac. He would come back again after losing. It didn’t take long for Yu Kun to be Song Meng’s opponent! In addition, Song Meng only fought and didn’t chat, so Yu Kun gradually stopped looking for Song Meng!

After understanding the situation, Li Huayuan no longer asked Song Meng to do general chores, and let him concentrate on training. He was only assigned to things that required fighting! Well, after Song Meng proved his fighting talent, he was trained as a thug!
Now, with the arrival of a new junior fellow apprentice, Sun Zecheng, Yu Kun has found the person he has been looking forward to chatting with!
So, whenever he had time, he would go to Sun Zecheng and say, "Brother Sun, come, let's talk."

Sun Zecheng tried to cope with it at first, pretending to listen for a while before finding an excuse to end it. However, after a few days, he found that Yu Kun was endlessly talking about everything under the sun. There was no topic that Yu Kun could not talk about. Sun Zecheng had a lot of things on his mind and really had no time to chat with him, so he simply said that he had just broken through the foundation building and his realm was not stable, so he needed to go into seclusion to practice. He hid in the room and closed the door, thus cutting off Senior Brother Yu and his eager request to chat outside.

Sun Zecheng is now twenty-one years old, and his cultivation is in the initial stage of foundation building, which roughly corresponds to the first level of foundation building as defined by Sun Zecheng himself.

The so-called self-definition is that for the convenience of scientific quantification, Sun Zecheng also divided the foundation-building to pill-forming stages into thirteen levels. The first to fourth levels are the early foundation-building stages, the fifth to eighth levels are the middle foundation-building stages, the ninth to twelfth levels are the late foundation-building stages, and the fake pill is regarded as a separate thirteenth level.

Now, Sun Zecheng has completed the first level of "Prison Cauldron Divine Art", and his mana is twice as much as before the practice! However, the practice speed has been halved, and there is no suitable elixir to take after the foundation is established, so it has completely slowed down!

What should we do now?
Sun Zecheng thought about it. Robbing Han Li? It's not realistic at the moment!

Han Li was now hiding in the Hundred Medicinal Herbs Garden, ripening the seedlings he brought back from the Blood Forbidden Land. It would take two and a half years to complete the preparations! He would have to wait until he had completed his alchemy and foundation building before he could go to the Tianxing Sect Market of Yuanwu Country! It would be at least three and a half years later!

Speaking of robbing Han Li, the last time the master sent the Qingyuan Sword Art to Han Li was also an opportunity to rob him, but unfortunately, Old Man Ma from Baiyao Garden was there that day! Even with Old Man Ma, Han Li was still highly nervous and alert when he saw Sun Zecheng!

Haha, it must be the result of the second failed robbery in the tree hole of the towering ancient tree in the forbidden area. Han Li has already suspected Sun Zecheng!

So what if I doubt?
So what if I knew?
Sun Zecheng thought it didn't matter! Han Li had a shameful secret, and he would choose to remain silent in the end nine times out of ten! Just like when they saw each other take out the Ascension Order at the Ascension Conference, they were shocked and silent!
As for whether Han Li would come to retaliate secretly, haha, Sun Zecheng is in the foundation building stage now, and Han Li is only in the Qi refining stage! He is welcome to come! I'm just afraid that Xiao Han will not come!

I have to wait three and a half years to swipe Han Li. I lack elixirs and my cultivation is slow. I live in Green Wave Cave under the watchful eyes of my master and mistress, so I don't have any chance to rob. I have to spend half of my time cultivating and the other half doing chores like a servant. There is also a chat maniac named Yu Kun who is always looking for opportunities to chat! Is this how I have to endure for three and a half years?
Alas, the days without Jie are so sad!
Sun Zecheng regretted it now! How could he have forgotten what Li Huayuan had said about taking him to live there? Why did he open up a cave in advance with Master Zhong in front of him? Oh, I am so stupid!
It was all Han Li's fault. This fool had poor aptitude, and Li Huayuan didn't take him seriously at all. So after Han Li established his foundation, he was free and easy to open up caves outside. As a result, Sun Zecheng didn't pay attention to this matter! It was all Han Li's fault!
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in complaining. Let's think about doing something to prepare for the future robbery! You have to learn one or two fairy art skills.
