The tourists were stunned.
He picked her up already?
No, Taoist priest, do you really not consider us outsiders? You just gave us a princess carry in front of everyone?
He Xi was also taken aback, but then a smile appeared on her lips.
"Uncle-Master, let's keep going." Li Daogang picked up Miaoyu, his steps as steady as a rock, and climbed the steps one by one.
Miaoyu felt Xuanqing's strong chest and powerful arms, and her face immediately turned as red as if she were about to faint from a rush of blood to her head.
I was hugged by Senior Brother Xuanqing, but we've only known each other for a few days!
My master said that men and women should not be intimate. Will I be scolded by my master for doing this?
Huh? Master didn't look at me. It seems Master doesn't dislike Senior Brother Xuanqing.
Li Dao didn't know what Miaoyu was thinking, otherwise he would probably be speechless.
Several hours later, Li Dao and his three companions finally reached the summit.
Even while carrying Miaoyu, Li Dao was carrying a force of nearly fifteen tons, making her weight seem as light as a feather.
Chapter 43 Qiu Yu!
December arrived in the blink of an eye, and a light rain heralded the arrival of early winter. The icy raindrops pattered down on a courtyard.
A Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood with his hands behind his back, watching the light rain. His hair was tied up and he wore a crown. He was handsome and refined, and his bright eyes reflected the trajectory of the falling rain.
"This is the last light rain of autumn." Li Dao looked at the drizzling rain, reached out to touch the raindrops, and immediately felt a coolness from his palm.
The rain in early winter is quite chilly.
Li Dao has been living in Longhu Mountain for almost a month, and there are still a few days before he can recruit people to come to the mountain.
Recently, Taoist priests have been coming to Longhu Mountain one after another. Those who arrived first stayed on the mountain, while those who came later stayed in hotels in the small town at the foot of the mountain.
There are too many people; not everyone can stay on the mountain.
"What are you thinking about? It's time to draw blood." He Xi walked to her side, holding a syringe in her hand.
Li Dao glanced at He Xi, who was wearing a white dress. It seemed that angels liked white, which made sense, since white represented purity.
"Draw less, I've been a bit anemic lately," Li Dao said.
About two weeks ago, after I ran out of resources, I took the initiative to ask the other party for some resources.
As a result, the resources were obtained, but some blood still had to be drawn from them every now and then.
The purpose? It's for research, making it a rare species among the divine river bodies.
However, some blood-for-resource exchanges are worthwhile, and they guarantee that you won't die from blood deficiency, and they even provide special medicines to restore your blood and energy.
I'm just a guinea pig now.
"Well, I only need one tube, but if you are really anemic, I have some blood-nourishing medicine specially developed for you, which should be enough to replenish your blood deficiency."
After saying that, He Xi inserted the needle into the blood vessel under Li Dao's skin to draw blood.
These needles were made by He Xi half a month ago; they are extremely sharp and can easily pierce Li Dao's resilient skin.
"Then give me two more bottles," Li Dao said.
He Xi didn't speak. When she was doing something, she was very focused and wouldn't get distracted.
Soon, the blood draw was finished. He Xi put the vial of blood plasma into the wormhole space, and then took out several bottles of thick, dark red liquid.
Before leaving, he said, "This is the latest Qi and Blood elixir. Try it and see how it works. If it works, I'll come back tonight to collect the data. If it doesn't, at worst you'll just get diarrhea."
Li Dao nodded.
The two of them had been together for half a month, and this was basically the situation. He gradually got used to it. There was no way around it; he was the biggest angel investor, the biggest of the biggest angel investors.
If you're not used to it, where will you get the resources to train?
Haven't we seen future martial arts masters selling their blood for resources?
Life is tough; I can only sell my blood to earn some resources and then try my best to improve.
Boo!
Li Dao opened the test bottle cap, tilted his head back, and gulped it down. It tasted warm and a little sweet. After going down his throat and into his stomach, his stomach felt like a big toad, making a series of sounds similar to frog croaking.
After a month of persistent cultivation, Li Dao's internal organs have been mostly tempered. He estimates that in another month, he should be able to complete the cultivation of his internal organs and reach the state of having impure internal organs.
The sound of a frog croaking is the result of the internal organs vibrating together, reaching a resonant frequency that enhances the digestive function of the stomach and intestines, making it many times stronger than before.
If Li Dao wanted to, he could easily digest all the food in his body within seconds.
Boom!dong dong!
As the medicinal liquid was instantly digested, Li Dao's heart pounded violently, like a drum being struck.
Then the bones begin to feel tingly and itchy, and hematopoietic stem cells, stromal cells, cytokines, and other processes in the bone marrow all get involved.
Gradually, new blood is born, then mixes with the old blood, replenishing the deficit caused by the blood draw.
At this moment, Li Dao's face gradually became rosy, and he felt better than ever before. However, while making up for his physical deficiencies, a sudden heat arose in his body.
Wait a minute? It's hot?
No, could it be that He Xi, that woman, has conflicting properties with some of the materials in her newly researched Qi and Blood Elixir? Otherwise, there's no way to explain the internal heat!
Forget it, I'll go take a shower to cool down first!
With that thought, Li Dao closed the door, took off his Taoist robe, then went to the water vat, scooped up water, and poured it over himself from head to toe. The cool water relieved some of the heat.
But, it's not enough!
An hour later, Li Dao opened the door feeling refreshed. The light rain was still falling, and some sewage had accumulated on the ground.
"Senior brother." Just then, a familiar and soft voice came.
Miaoyu, holding an umbrella, walked across the puddles, her delicate hands carrying several books.
A light rain, a Taoist priest holding an umbrella, and willow vines hanging down nearby create a unique and picturesque scene.
"What are you doing here? Come in." Li Dao glanced at the girl's legs and feet, noticing that her cloth shoes and trouser legs were a little wet, and immediately invited her into the house.
Miaoyu nodded gently, put down her umbrella, and stood timidly in place with a few books in her arms.
Did I anger Senior Brother Xuanqing? Maybe I should just accept my scolding.
"Sit down. What are you doing here on a rainy day?" Li Dao poured Miaoyu a cup of warm water to warm her up before asking gently.
"Senior brother." Feeling her senior brother's gaze, Miaoyu didn't know how to answer, so she handed over the four books in her hand.
Li Dao took the book, looked at the cover, and was immediately stunned.
The Book of Changes, the Complete Daoist Canon, the Translation of the Philosophy of Mind, and the Art of Divination—aren't these the book titles I just mentioned to the other party a few days ago?
Li Dao looked at Miaoyu, who was sitting obediently in front of him, and felt both amused and exasperated.
This junior sister actually took his words to heart and even got him these four books, which must have been done through her senior uncle's connections.
Otherwise, if they wanted to borrow books from the library, they would have to wait until they went to Longhu Mountain for further study before the library would be open to these outside Taoist priests.
"Use your relationship with your martial uncle as little as possible, and use favors sparingly, you silly girl." Li Dao pinched Miaoyu's cheek and said.
It seems that Miaoyu is not yet eighteen years old, right?
"Yes, I understand, senior brother, but I didn't use Master's connections. My friend helped me borrow it." Miaoyu nodded slightly, but still didn't hide anything.
I hope Senior Brother Xuanqing won't blame me for making friends.
Zhao Xin is such a good person. What should I do if Senior Brother Xuanqing doesn't let me make friends?
Before Master left, he said that we should listen to Senior Brother Xuanqing in everything.
Thinking this, Miaoyu clasped her hands tightly, her eyes inadvertently glancing at her senior brother Xuanqing, and then her face turned red again.
"Have you made friends? That's good. When we go to Longhu Mountain for further studies, take me to meet your friends."
Miaoyu's subtle movements naturally did not escape Li Dao's notice. Whenever she was nervous, she would clench her hands tightly, looking extremely tense.
call!
Senior Brother Xuanqing agreed.
Miaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, her hands no longer clasped so tightly, and she said softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Well, I'll go back now. My friend is still waiting for me."
Li Dao nodded.
Only after receiving permission did Miaoyu stand up, grab her umbrella, and hurriedly leave.
The rain and mist obscured the view, and her beautiful figure gradually faded into the distance.
"Really." Li Dao shook his head and chuckled, then immediately picked up a copy of "A Translation of the Philosophy of Mind" and began to read...
Chapter 44 Invasion?
Over the next few days, Li Dao spent his days practicing boxing to strengthen his internal organs and occasionally reading books. At night, he immersed himself in fantasy, trying to achieve perfect control over his body.
Unfortunately, it did not succeed.
Even though he didn't succeed, Li Dao's control over his body was further developed.
However, it didn't end there. Li Dao continued to accumulate knowledge by reading books, and then organized his memories, creating a memory palace in which all his knowledge was stored.
Furthermore, the memory palace is a repository created by the brain, so even if the knowledge is vast and bloated, it can continue to expand its area to accommodate more knowledge.
Of course, the existence of the memory palace also provides convenience for Li Dao, so that he does not have to worry about losing some of his knowledge due to its vastness.
Snapped!
After reading a section of the "Complete Daoist Canon," Li Dao closed the book, his eyes shining brightly as he stored all the Daoist knowledge in his memory palace.
He has already finished reading all four books that his junior sister Miaoyu gave him.
I finished reading the other three books in half a day, and spent the rest of the time reading the complete Daoist Canon. Its content is so rich that it is the most comprehensive of all the books.
Tomorrow is the day Longhu Mountain recruits people. Once I become a disciple of Longhu Mountain, I will be able to enter the library to read a large number of classic books and knowledge.
"Phew! Back to cultivation." After spending a few seconds summarizing the knowledge, Li Dao's eyes darkened. He put down the book, stood up, and stretched, his spine and limbs cracking.
