When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

The next day.

Before the sun rose, a rooster crowed in the chicken farm next door.

Zhang Huochai put on a coarse linen shirt and came to the porcelain kiln to personally teach his future son-in-law Liu Han the real housekeeping skills.

He told Liu Han.

This skill cannot be passed on easily.

Because porcelain is a magical thing.

There are many taboos.

Moreover, every time good porcelain is fired, life will be shortened!

Liu Han did not comment on these things, neither refuted nor believed.

Zhang Huochai also told him that in a person's life, it is enough to fire three or two good porcelains to establish a reputation.

Just like himself, who has been in the porcelain industry for a lifetime.

In total, three pieces of fine porcelain were fired. The first one made him famous at a young age. It was a porcelain bowl. He gave it to a local official. After receiving it, the official loved it.

The second piece of porcelain was a flower plate. It was also given away. It was given to a wandering poet. The poet wrapped it in white cloth and never dared to touch it, saying that he was afraid that his mortal heart would pollute this flawless thing.

The third porcelain...

Zhang Huochai took Liu Han into the bedroom.

This fine porcelain was placed by the window. It was a vase. It looked ordinary because it had not been moved for many years and was covered with dust.

When Liu Han took a closer look, he was immediately shocked.

This vase has natural texture and soft outline. It is simply the most perfect porcelain.

After the display, Zhang Huochai rolled up his sleeves and began to teach Liu Han his unique skills.

And Li Changxiao, thanks to Liu Han's blessing, was able to watch from the side.

Secretly learn the mystery.

As for this family secret, why did they allow Li Changxiao, an outsider, to watch.

First, Zhang Huochai was sure that Li Changxiao, an outsider, had just been exposed to porcelain for a few months and had not laid a solid foundation. Even if he watched, he could not see any doorway.

Second, he was tired and ready to stop. He was too lazy to think about what happened next.

Li Changxiao studied very seriously.

He found fun in it.

A truly good porcelain, from the initial selection of clay to the final product, requires an unimaginable amount of effort.

He really didn't understand many of the tricks, but he remembered most of them in his heart, and perhaps at some point in the future, he would suddenly know them.

Life went on like this, day by day.

Zhang Qiuci also called the matchmaker in the village to help her choose the date.

She was filled with a happy smile all day long.

She often ran to the fields at the entrance of the village with Liu Han, chasing each other and looking at the stars and the moon.

Li Changxiao also taught Liu Han many love words, which frightened Liu Han into a cold sweat, thinking that the person who could come up with this set of love words must be a great lover!

Fortunately, he started early.

Liu Han secretly rejoiced, especially when he used the love words taught by Li Changxiao to tease Zhang Qiuci to blush and be full of love, his admiration for Li Changxiao was like a surging river, flowing endlessly.

He couldn't help but be curious about Li Changxiao's experience, and always asked Li Changxiao if he had many confidantes outside. Every time he talked about this, he frowned and warned him seriously, saying, Brother Changxiao, we can't play two boats and be fickle.

Li Changxiao shook his head and laughed, telling him that he was overthinking. He did meet many beauties outside. There was nothing he could do. He was more popular with women.

Well... not just better, it should be very good.

But.

There are almost no people who look up to me.

Hearing this, Liu Han was relieved and almost jealous of Li Changxiao.

The days passed slowly.

This day.

Liu Han has completely inherited the mantle, but he does not plan to recruit apprentices like Zhang Huochai, but plans to delve deeper.

After buying a few good porcelains in the town, on the way back to the village, he bought a pickled duck and a few taels of beef. Before entering the door, he shouted to eat, there will be a big meal today.

Li Changxiao looked at the table full of delicious dishes and murmured, it would be a pity to have no wine.

So he asked Liu Han if he wanted to drink.

Liu Han shook his head, saying that wine would paralyze his nerves and he never drank.

Helplessly, he took out his treasured wine and drank it by himself.

Liu Han and Zhang Qiuci's date was set in early August.

The village and outside the village were busy with weddings.

The big day.

Zhang Huochai's family was quite wealthy, so they set up more than a dozen tables, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and were very happy.

Li Changxiao sat at the wine table, not polite at all, broke off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

A sip of wine, a bite of meat.

The groom toasted.

Entering the bridal chamber.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.

Under the night.

Li Changxiao sat on the big stone at the entrance of Niren Village, and I don't know when he changed into that white dress again.

From the shabby apprentice who guarded the porcelain kiln all day, he became a down-and-out swordsman with a smell of alcohol all over his body.

Although he was a wandering tourist, he went wherever he went.

But the reason why he stayed in the Clay Figurine Village.

In addition to wanting to learn the skills of firing porcelain.

There was another purpose, which was because of the firewood mountain three miles away from the "Clay Figurine Village".

When Li Changxiao first saw the firewood mountain, he found it very unusual.

Judging from the weather, it should be formed by the fall of the secret realm and the fusion with the earth.

The cultivation of monks is to take advantage of the situation, especially when breaking through the level, the surrounding environment is very important.

To be specific, monks who practice fire-based skills and have fire-based physiques are best to break through in places with rich fire elements. The success rate will be much higher.

From a broad perspective, if you break through in a place full of spirituality and rich charm, you can gain the blessings of that world. In the future, if you succeed in your cultivation, spiritual energy will feed back to that world. Similarly, that world will also invisibly add luck to you, and even directly increase your combat effectiveness.

This is not a myth, it is real.

The best breakthrough places include but are not limited to secret realms, cave heaven paradises, top sect holy lands, trial lands, etc.

Li Changxiao has only entered one secret realm in his more than seven hundred years of cultivation, from Qi refining to Yuanying!

I still had to pay a huge price to get a spot.

Let alone a breakthrough in the secret realm.

Li Changxiao saw Chaishan and knew that he was once extraordinary, but now that his spiritual energy was exhausted, he didn't know what this once secret realm was like, whether it still had the charm it had before, and whether it was still beneficial to a breakthrough.

It’s just that the porcelain has been fired for nearly a year. On Liu Han's wedding day, he suddenly felt that it was time to make a breakthrough. Just in time to take advantage of the family's happiness, he left without saying goodbye and walked to Chaishan alone.

The mountain road is very dark at night.

Occasionally you can hear wolves howling.

Li Changxiao dug a pit, lay down in it, looked up at the full moon, and sighed.

I don’t know when I will wake up next.

He told Jade Rakshasa that every few months, he would go out and collect information.

Jade Rakshasa nodded lightly.

Li Changxiao waved his hand, buried himself in the soil, and then fell into a deep sleep.

at the same time.

Under the city gate of "Middle Nascent Soul", thousands of troops launched a charge.

There is no supply of external spiritual energy.

Just rely on the little aura of the dream space.

This is destined to be a long and difficult process.

However, compared to those monks who were still worried about their longevity, Li Changxiao was much better off.

Asking for too much seems greedy.

…

The next day.

Liu Han pushed open the door and found a red wooden box on the ground with two connected characters written on it.

Open the wooden box.

There are two small porcelain figures inside, one male and one female.

It’s all about appearance...

It can only be said to be average.

But my heart has arrived.

Liu Han smiled knowingly, murmured goodbye by fate, and strode towards the porcelain kiln.

…

Spring passes and autumn comes.

A year has passed.

There are rumors that Chaishan Mountain is haunted. Someone went up the mountain to cut firewood and saw a Rakshasa ghost with a ferocious face.

When Liu Han heard the news, he sneered. He never believed in ghosts and monsters.

He spent all day in the porcelain kiln and promised his daughter-in-law that when he fired the first piece of fine porcelain, he would give it to her without giving it to anyone.

Zhang Qiuci, a first-time wife, was so instigated that she couldn't find any answers. She just asked him coquettishly where he learned these sweet words.

The clay figurine village is peaceful.

Spring begins the next year.

Liu Han finally fired a fine piece of porcelain: the concentric lock.

As he said, give it to no one but your wife.

Zhang Qiuci also gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

It's fun.

…

Time flies by like a white horse.

A blink of an eye.

That’s ten years.
