The originally inconspicuous clay pot actually had such wonderful uses. This meant that the ancient seed was definitely not simple.
Xu Zongyi had a premonition in his heart that this four-sided jar was the foundation for him to turn the tables around. He had to properly study it when he had time.
The four-sided jar wasn't too big, but even with a few buckets of water, it was difficult to fill it up. He shook it a bit, because there was water moving inside, so he didn't think too much about it.
Wood could make fire, and any kind of wood could produce any kind of fire. Often, good wood could produce fire that greatly increased the yield of rice grains.
If the wood was not good, some fire would seep into the grain, which was often harmful.
These pieces of wood could easily burn, and the fire was extremely powerful. This was a piece of wood from the Scripture Hall. No matter what, it was better than the ones in the day courtyard. At the very least, these things did not have to trouble him.
The difference in daily necessities could greatly improve a person's physique.
Xu Zongyi cooked seriously and realized that the fire had ignited the energy within the water. Soon enough, it permeated into the Purple Comet Body Rice. He hurriedly controlled the fire and adjusted the fire.
In the day courtyard, cooking a big pot of rice was a part of his daily life. To him, cooking a big pot of rice was the basics of the day courtyard, otherwise, they would not have the qualifications to mess around in the other four courtyards. With regards to the control of the heat, every person in the day courtyard had a solid foundation, otherwise, if these direct blood descendants of the fourth courtyard were to boil the rice, they would be severely punished.
It was just that the things he usually ate were too terrible. The people he served were two extremes, unless he was lucky. If he met someone like Xu Xindie, he would reward them with a portion of the ingredients.
Xu Zongyi was pleasantly surprised. With good water and good wood, this was his first time using good water and good wood to cook rice.
Because he was young, he basically did not go to the other four courtyards to serve others. However, practice made perfect, there was no problem to cook the Amethyst Tier Mushroom.
The fragrant Purple Level Body Strengthening Rice, each of them was sparkling and full, with a rich inner quality.
There were no dishes, only rice.
In the eyes of the farmers, the five grains were for feeding, the five fruits were for helping, the five livestock were for benefiting, and the five dishes were for filling.
Humans mainly ate the five grains. As for the rest, they would only help replenish their energy and would only eat when necessary.
The same principle applied to eating and eating.
With such conditions at hand, Xu Zongyi was already very satisfied.
The pot of rice was quickly finished, and he was sweating profusely.
However, he found that there was a thin layer of black substance on the pores of his body.
"Could it be impurities?" Xu Zongyi could feel that his strength had increased slightly as his body relaxed: "Indeed worthy of being a Purple Level Body Strengthening Rice, it is something even the Scarlet Grade Body Strengthening Rice that you have eaten before. That kind of body strengthening rice has too many impurities compared to the other body strengthening rice, not to mention helping yourself expel the impurities from your body."
He quickly took off his clothes and used the water in the jar to rinse himself from beginning to end. He only felt that his skin was nourished by the water and seemed to be more solid and tenacious than usual.
"So comfortable. This is my first time taking a bath and I feel this way. Is it because of this jar?" Xu Zongyi was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it. Because there was a lot of work to be done every day, he had just arrived at the Scripture Hall and didn't want to slack off.
He returned to the bamboo house. On the bed, there were three sets of clothes, all belonging to the Scripture Hall. The crescent moon was white, and the robes were plain and simple.
His entire demeanor had changed, becoming completely different and scholarly. He walked to the side of the pond and admired his heroic figure, and seeing that the words' sin 'were still glaring on his face, he immediately returned to the Scripture Hall. He had to work extremely hard right now, because only then would he be able to change his fate.
While he was wiping the bookshelves, he was also contemplating the arrangement of this place. The feeling that the Scripture Hall gave him was getting more and more unfathomable.
It wasn't until nightfall that Xu Changping finally instructed Xu Zongyi, "Go light up the oil lamp, and then we'll explain the rules of the Scripture Hall to you."
"Yes, Senior Martial Brother!" Xu Zongyi took out a fire piston and lit a few bronze oil lamps hanging on the side of the bookshelves, releasing an aura that would cause people to pay close attention to him. There weren't many oil lamps, but every single one of them was extremely bright, which was the main reason why many farmers of the Xu family liked to browse the hall. The aura of these bronze oil lamps would definitely help them with their reading and comprehension, and would also reduce the consumption of food storage points.
It was only when he had already lit an oil lamp in a certain area that Xu Changping finally appeared in front of him, saying, "Follow me!"
Xu Changping's demeanor was refined, his face handsome. He wore white clothes, and his temperament was ethereal, graceful, and like a fairy from the nine heavens, deeply favored by the young ladies of the village's Xu clan. With every step he took, he carried himself with him.
Xu Zongyi followed behind him with a wistful look in his eyes, hoping that he would be like Xu Changping in the future.
He was extremely excited. Was he going to start teaching me cultivation?
The two of them went to the backyard.
Xu Changping sat down on a rock and said gently, "Junior Brother, I think I'll tell you about the situation of the Scripture Hall."
"Yes." Xu Zongyi did not dare to sit down as he stood at the side.
"If you wish to read a book, there is a seed here. Find a place and plant it. Based on its growth, the hall master will decide what kind of book she wants you to read." Xu Changping said seriously.
"Where is the hall master?" Xu Zongyi was extremely curious.
"In the future, you will see that if you perform well, he will take you in as his disciple. Right now, you are only my junior in name. You need to work hard and find me for any problems." Xu Changping's tone was very gentle, giving off the feeling of the spring breeze.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Xu Zongyi looked at the pool water and asked: "What kind of water is this? I feel like it's very powerful. "
"This is the Tianqing Primordial Water, owned by the hall master. If you were to steal it, you have to bear the consequences." Xu Changping's expression was solemn as he warned him seriously.
It was obvious that only the people within the hall could get close to the rear courtyard of the Scripture Hall, so there were almost no defenses set up.
"What?! This is the Heaven-Cleansing Primordial Water?" Xu Zongyi's eyes lit up. He had once seen a ranking list, and it was one that was given to him by the village's Xu family ancestors.
In this world, there were many eyes of water.
As far as the Xu family was concerned, if a person could obtain a good water source eye, it meant that he would definitely have a huge advantage in the field of cultivation in the future.
The Eye of Pure Heaven Water was ranked eleventh on the water source ranking.
Many people wanted to ask for this water to be used to grow some precious plants.
"Not bad, the well next to your room was diluted with some Sky Clear Primordial Water." Xu Changping was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Xu Zongyi to know about this matter. After all, the place he had previously been at was a day compound, and it was difficult for him to access this information.
"Does the Scripture Hall provide food?" Xu Zongyi asked again.
"Every month, I will give you sixty pounds of Purple Level Body Strengthening Rice." Xu Changping paused for a moment before saying, "With your current body, the rice you use to strengthen your body is a good choice. It would be great for Foundation Establishment."
"Then when can I train?" Xu Zongyi felt troubled in his heart. He felt like he could eat two catties of body strengthening rice in a single meal. The demand for the rest would probably be even greater, 60 catties a month. If he started cultivating now, it would not even be enough for him to eat for a few days.
"When the time is right, wait for you to be able to deal with the entire Scripture Hall's upper and lower affairs with ease." Xu Changping patiently answered all sorts of questions about this new junior brother in front of him.
"If I don't have enough rice to eat, how can I earn money?" Xu Zongyi did not have any background after all. He could only rely on himself. He really wanted to cultivate, but through the books he had read, he had to use a scripture as a primer for every great realm.
The 'Water Melting Ceremony' was a technique, not a scripture.
"You can plant some plants and plants. If the young masters and young ladies like them, they might exchange them for rice and rice. During the harvest time, there will be outsiders. When the time comes, the selling price will be the best." Xu Changping pondered for a moment. This was the method that was more suitable for Xu Zongyi.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." No matter what, Xu Changping had already taken care of him.
"In the future, if you have anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Xu Changping left a message and then left.
He also lived in the backyard, but it was slightly further away from Xu Zongyi and the entire backyard took up tens of kilometers.
"I wonder when the mysterious grandfather will appear!" Xu Zongyi shook his head. The grandfather he spoke of was the person who had secretly taught him how to read and gave him a book to read all these years.
Xu Zongyi returned to his room. He used the four-sided terracotta pot as his own kettle, reading books and drinking water at the same time.
As he drank, he discovered that black impurities were seeping out of his pores, and a foul stench permeated the room.
"It's like this again. It seems like there's a reason for the Purple-rank Body Strengthening Rice, but it should be because this pot is the main factor. If we use the transformed water from the pot to grow it, would it have an unexpected effect? It seems like I have to find a time and give it a try! " Xu Zongyi felt relaxed all over. His skin was sticky and extremely disgusting, but he was still very excited. If his guess was correct, then he would have quite a bit of attainments in planting a Dao.
He hurriedly ran out of the room and took another shower. He felt his whole body feeling comfortable and his strength seemed to have increased.
Recalling the books he had read before, this situation was akin to slashing one's hair and cleansing one's marrow.
There were many ways. One way was to consume herbal medicine to clean up the impurities in your body. The other way was to drink water that could bring out the impurities in your body. The other way was to excrete the impurities while cultivating ..
However, no matter what, this was still good for his body. Xu Zongyi felt that it was much easier for him. Right now, his strength had already reached at least two hundred kilograms.
Xu Zongyi felt that the water he drank at night allowed him to expel even more impurities than during the day. However, he was certain that if he could continue like this, his body would become stronger and stronger, and he would benefit greatly from his future cultivation.
Some things could only be explored step by step. He knew that he could only read and accumulate as much water as he wanted. Holding the withered ancient seed in his hand, wanting to learn how to improve water quality in the Water Melting Ceremony, it was very important to cultivate good water.
When Xu Zongyi held the withered ancient seed in his hand, he felt that his understanding of every word in the《 Rites of Water Melting》 had become even more transparent, causing an indescribable feeling of subtlety to well up within his heart.
When he wasn't reading the book with the ancient seed, he would feel somewhat puzzled. However, when he was holding it with his hand, there were many things he didn't understand.
"Could this be the power of the ancient seed?" Xu Zongyi originally wasn't in a very good mood when he first obtained these two items, but now that his mood had started to change due to the four-sided jar and the ancient seed, he naturally understood. It seemed that only by being strong himself could he continue to unearth the other powers behind these two items.
Originally, Xu Zongyi's perception was exceedingly good. Now, with the help of the ancient withered seed's mysterious energy, even reading books would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.
From the Water Melting Ceremony, he had first raised the soil.
Although the land in the backyard of the Scripture Hall was already very fertile, it still needed to be watered and thoroughly watered. Therefore, every night, he would use his own clay pot to pour over a large piece of land beside the bamboo house, preparing to grow it.
No matter how late he slept, Xu Zongyi could not move. Every day, he would wake up at dawn and begin to do what he needed to do.
Half a month passed just like that.
"The time is ripe." However, his entire body was completely empty, and he could only find someone to borrow money first. The first person he thought of was Xu Xindie.
Xu Zongyi thought as he wiped the bookshelf.
Coincidentally, Xu Xindie and Xiao E entered the Scripture Hall, which made him extremely happy.
She wore a long, dark green dress, and her aura was no longer the same as before. Her long hair hung down, and her expression was not as cheerful as before.
Xu Zongyi bowed and greeted: "Miss Xin Die! "Sister Xiao E!"
"There's no need to be so polite. How do you feel about being in the Scripture Hall?" A few days ago, when she went back to cultivate, she discovered that her resistance to poison had increased by quite a bit. Furthermore, her own bloodline seemed to have undergone quite a bit of transformation, and her strength had also broken through the limits of her own body. It was unknown if it was because she had drank Xu Zongyi's blood before.
"Not bad. It's much better than the day courtyard." Xu Zongyi was extremely happy.
"Kid, you have always been a worry for others since young. Now that you are able to stay in the Scripture Hall, you must behave yourself and not cause any trouble." Xiao E reprimanded him seriously.
"Hai, don't worry. It definitely won't happen." Xu Zongyi grinned and patted his chest in guarantee. He looked at Xu Xindie and went straight to the point, "Miss Xindie, I wonder if you could lend me some of the more valuable flowers and plants. I want to plant them for you to take a look.
"It's rare for you to improve so much, so I'll lend you some. Don't let me down." Xu Xindie took out a small bag of seeds from her bracelet, and said: "Inside is the Purification Grass, the boiled soup can remove the impurities within the body, and that depends on what quality you can grow." Xu Xindie took out a small bag of seeds from her bracelet, and said: "Inside is the Purification Grass, and the boiled soup can remove the impurities within the body, and that depends on what quality you can produce.
"Thank you!" Xu Zongyi looked at Xu Xindie's bracelet. This was a spatial artifact, and he had no idea when he would be able to obtain it.
Holding the seed given to him by Xu Xindie in his arms, Xu Zongyi was extremely excited. No matter what, this was already an extremely good start for him.
"Alright, little `er, chat with Zong Yi. Go back by yourself later. I'm also looking for a book." After giving her orders, Xu Xindie walked into the depths of the Scripture Hall. The moment she turned around, she felt a bit tired.
Xu Zongyi clearly felt that something was off as he looked suspiciously at Xiao E in his heart, "Did something happen to Miss Heartbutterfly?"
"I only heard about it this morning." "I heard that the Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan is coming to our farm, Miss Xindie seems to have been chosen to marry into the Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan. However, she is willing, but she is unable to resist, because this matter has caused a great deal of unhappiness."
"Primal Chaos Phoenix Clan!" Xu Zongyi's heart trembled. Wasn't this the great clan that was chasing after his father? If they came, wouldn't he be able to find out where his father was? At the very least, they could still be sure that he hadn't been killed by them!
