Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1826

Each water pot could hold up to 50 gallons of water, and the buckets provided to the servants had a capacity of just one gallon each. Since every servant was required to fill two water pots, they needed to haul a total of 100 gallons of water each week.

Yuan carried two buckets to the river at a time, meaning it took 50 trips to completely fill both pots. With each trip taking roughly 15 minutes, he spent a little over half a day completing his assigned quota.

After dinner, Yuan returned home to cultivate.

The following day, Yuan met up with Lan Yingying again. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

"How was it?" he asked her.

"I am making progress, albeit extremely slowly. At this rate, it’ll probably take me around three months to completely memorize the technique," she sighed.

"As long as you’re making progress."

"But it’s too slow." Lan Yingying shook her head. "Although we have four years to complete this task, I don’t want to spend so much time here. Also, I doubt we’ll be finished after this trial."

Yuan lifted his head to gaze at the blue sky and said, "Four years is definitely a long time, but there’s nothing we can do. Even if we want to leave this place, I don’t know if we can without failing the trial."

Sometime later, Lan Yingying, who decided to start working on her quota, followed Yuan to the training hall to acquire some tools.

Once they started chopping the bamboo, it was clear that Lan Yingying was quite experienced with chopping, something Yuan hadn’t expected.

"You’re quite good at this. You have the perfect posture and motion, just like an expert." Yuan remarked after seeing her work.

"Besides my cleaning duty, I chopped trees often in the Mystic Realm," she said as she swung her axe.

"By the way, why are you using a sword? It’d be more efficient to use an axe," she then asked.

Yuan smiled and said, "It feels more comfortable in my hands. Moreover, this is training."

"Is that so…"

Once they chopped down their first bamboo of the day, Yuan repeated what he had done yesterday and began cultivating with some of the bamboo in his mouth.

Lan Yingying raised an eyebrow at his actions.

"What are you doing?" she couldn’t keep her curiosity contained.

"These bamboo contain spiritual energy, so it speeds up my cultivation progress."

"I see…"

Since she couldn’t cultivate, Lan Yingying sat down on the ground and took out her cultivation technique, using the time to study it while she rested and waited for Yuan.

Once Yuan emerged from his cultivation about half an hour later, they delivered the chopped bamboo before returning to the forest. They repeated this routine until it was almost time for dinner, ending the day with five bamboos chopped.

"I haven’t felt this type of exhaustion in a long time…" Lan Yingying muttered as she grabbed her dinner, barely able to hold her plate up from exhaustion.
