After returning home, Li Ru began to stew the fire-patterned chicken.
This fire-patterned chicken is a first-level low-grade spiritual beast, and its meat contains abundant spiritual energy.
It is very valuable, and it cost a low-grade spiritual stone and fifty broken spirits.
When returning home, in order to reward Zhou Shan, Li Ru also bought him a jar of spiritual wine.
After calculating, today's expenses have far exceeded Li Ru's budget.
Fortunately, his son picked up a spiritual stone to fill this gap.
At dinner, a large bowl of fragrant fire-patterned chicken soup was placed on the wooden table. The fire-patterned
chicken in the bowl is light red and the meat is firm.
The soup is rich and translucent, with a light golden oily sheen floating on the surface, dotted with some edible spiritual medicines and side dishes such as celery, as well as some spices.
It is delicious.
Zhou Ling couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw it.
This kind of spiritual beast meat worth more than a low-grade spiritual stone, Li Ru only had two or three months of spiritual stones in his hand, and he was willing to buy it.
This kind of spiritual beast is raised by monks. Its meat is delicate and contains spiritual energy, so it is very expensive. Ordinary casual cultivators can't afford it at ordinary times.
Li Ru used a spoon to fill a bowl of broth, and then tore off two large chicken legs and put them in front of Zhou Ling, smiling, "Son, eat it!"
He poured another bowl, tore off two chicken wings, and put them in front of Zhou Shan, "How does it taste?"
Zhou Ling sat on the high wooden chair specially built for him by Zhou Shan, picked up the spoon in one hand and the chicken leg in the other hand, and ate a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of meat. The soup was fresh and the meat was fragrant, without any greasiness.
This is the best food Zhou Ling has eaten since he was born.
"Delicious! Delicious!"
Zhou Ling couldn't help but say.
Li Ru smiled, "Son, it's delicious. Eat more. This chicken is all yours."
"Mom will buy you another one next month!"
Zhou Shan took the wine jar and poured himself a small bowl of wine, watching Zhou Ling eat with relish.
Immediately, he picked up the chopsticks and put the two chicken wings into Zhou Ling and Li Ru's bowls respectively, and said with a smile, "You guys eat it. I often eat monster meat in the mountains."
"Husband, you should eat some too. The beast meat in the mountains is incomparable to this spirit beast meat!" Li Ru looked at him and said distressedly.
Zhou Ling also picked up the chopsticks, picked up the chicken wings, stood up, supported one hand on the wooden table, and put the chicken wings back into Zhou Shan's bowl.
"Dad, you should eat more too!"
Seeing the concern of his wife and children, Zhou Shan was relieved and smiled, "My son is so sensible!"
Li Ru picked up the chicken wings and wanted to put them into Zhou Ling's bowl. Zhou Ling pushed them away with both hands and shook his head, saying, "Mom! I've had enough!"
Li Ru could only take them away and put them back into Zhou Shan's bowl, saying softly, "In a few days, you will go into the mountains again, eat more!"
"I am a physical cultivator, eating spirit beast meat is not very useful, so you should eat it!"
The couple pushed each other.
Zhou Ling looked helpless, but his heart was also warm.
[Captured sincere concern, primary insight +1]
As night fell, the dining table was steaming.
Under the soft light of the flint lamp, three figures were stretched out.
The whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere of life.
After eating the fire-patterned chicken soup, Zhou Ling increased his physical fitness by 5 points.
Now, his physical fitness has gradually surpassed that of children of the same age.
·······.
Time flies, and another half a year has passed. Zhou Ling is already over two years old.
As the child grows up, the pressure on Zhou Shan and his wife is getting greater and greater.
Rent, monthly spiritual food expenses, preschool books for their son, etc.
Next, their son will go to the Taoist temple.
The spiritual root test alone is a considerable expense.
In addition, the Taoist temple's kindergarten classes also have different levels.
The spiritual energy of different Taoist rooms is also different.
After discussing, the couple decided to send the child to the middle-grade Taoist class no matter what spiritual root the child tested out.
The tuition fee is five low-grade spiritual stones a month.
They knew that their child was quite talented and would definitely be better than them in the future as long as he was taught carefully.
Of course, this was a considerable expense.
Together with the rent, it was already more than Zhou Shan's current monthly income. Moreover, there are other expenses for the child to enter the Taoist temple.
Although Li Ru has saved some spiritual stones in the past few years, it ca
n't last long.
Therefore, Li Ru can only propose to leave his son in the Taoist temple and go into the mountains with Zhou Shan to find spiritual medicine.
Zhou Shan directly refused. After all, his son has a poor physique and needs to keep up with nutrition. Zhou Shan
secretly decided in his heart that he could only go deeper into the mountains.
The area where they are now mainly looking for spiritual medicine is only the outer area of Heixia Mountain.
As long as they go a hundred miles further, the number and grade of spiritual medicine will be relatively higher.
Of course, the danger is also much higher.
The monsters encountered in the outer area are generally only the early and middle stages of the first order.
If you go deeper, it is very likely that you will encounter a late stage of the first order.
This is definitely not something he can deal with.
But for the sake of the child, this risk must be taken.
As long as you can find one or two first-order medium-grade spiritual medicines in one time, it will be enough to maintain the family expenses.
Zhou Ling's physique is not as bad as Zhou Shan thought.
Half a year later, his growth value:
[Physique, average nutrition (4800/10000)]
With the improvement of physique, the growth value provided by ordinary food is extremely limited.
In terms of talent [Physique Evolution], as exercise reaches 10,000 times.
Now the effect status has also changed.
[Effect: cumulative boxing practice 109 times]
[Cumulative boxing practice: 109/1000]
The boxing he practiced was the Great Yang Jue taught by Zhou Shan.
This is also a basic body refining method issued by the Taoist League. It is said that there are nine levels.
But Zhou Shan only practiced one level.
[Comprehension, mediocre (72/100)]
In terms of comprehension, as Zhou Ling finished reading fifty books, [Immortal Wisdom] was successfully stimulated.
In the past six months, it has also been greatly improved.
This also greatly improved the effect of Zhou Ling when reading some ancient books.
And it is worth mentioning that his [Searching Mountains for Treasures] talent has been further improved.
The range of sensing treasures has reached seven or eight feet.
A few days ago, he went out with his mother.
When passing by a bridge, he accidentally sensed that there was a treasure by the river.
He could only pretend to be curious and go to the river to catch fish.
Li Ru also followed his wishes and took him to the river to play.
Then Zhou Ling accidentally picked up a low-grade magic weapon, the black gold hammer.
This made Li Ru very happy.
Although they could not use this black gold hammer, a low-grade magic weapon was worth more than ten spirit stones.
After returning home, Li Ru gave Zhou Ling an extra meal and bought a fire-patterned chicken.
As for the black gold hammer, Zhou Shan was asked to find a way to sell it.
After this incident, Li Ru almost always took her son with her when she went out.
I feel that the child is so lucky!
······.
"Husband, the child will go to the Taoist temple to test his spiritual roots tomorrow. Are you nervous?"
After dinner, Li Ru asked nervously.
"Don't worry, Ling'er looks like you, and his spiritual roots should be good."
"If you don't have spiritual roots, then just follow me to practice body!"
Zhou Shan took a sip of wine and comforted.
