A group of people bought lanterns on the street, went to the river, made wishes on the lanterns, and then put them into the river and floated away with the current, farther and farther away.
Miaomiao took Ye Hong's hand and looked into Ye Hong's eyes, "Brother Ye Hong, what wish did you make?"
Ye Hong raised his head and looked at the starry sky, "Me~ I hope to find a way for me to practice quickly and... let me go home."
"Miaomiao, what wish did you make?"
Miaomiao pouted angrily, "Huh~ Brother Ye Hong's wish does not include me, so I didn't tell you!"
Ye Hong looked at Miaomiao with a smile, rubbed his head, and looked at his sister next to him, "Sister, what wish did you make?"
Nightingale was asked by Ye Hong, and she playfully touched Ye Hong's head, "I won't tell you either!"
At this moment, Yu Jianren's words suddenly came from beside him, "I hope all my future wishes will come true!" After he finished speaking, he also put the lantern into the river.
······
In the evening, after returning to his residence, Ye Hong began to study the hilt of the sword that Miaomiao had obtained. The hilt was stained with rust and was no different from scrap metal. If it weren't for the rough outline, you wouldn't even know it was a sword hilt.
"Miaomiao, did that old man tell you how to use this thing?"
When Miaomiao heard Ye Hong's question, she shook her head like a rattle, "No!"
"Try inputting elemental power into this thing."
Miaomiao listened to Ye Hong's words and input elemental power into the hilt of the sword, but there was no change in the hilt. Looking at the hilt of the sword, Ye Hong fell into thinking. After a while, Ye Hong took a sharp knife from outside and reached out to grab Miaomiao.
"Ah! Brother Ye Hong, what are you doing with the knife? Don't kill me. Miaomiao has always been obedient." When Miaomiao saw this, she hurriedly shouted to avoid it and moved to the wall instantly.
Ye Hong was very surprised to see Miaomiao running so far in an instant, "Um...Miaomiao, you misunderstood. I wanted you to put a drop of blood on it to try. But how did you move just now?" So fast, reaching the wall in an instant? ."
"Woooo~ I was scared to death. Just now I saw Brother Ye Hong coming with a knife. I subconsciously used my elemental power to get to the wall. I was about to tell Brother Yehong this afternoon, and I found that I was lucky When the elemental power is activated, you can move very far, but when I tried it during the day today, it didn't seem that far, and I almost hit the wall just now."
"This should be your dark element ability. You may have other abilities, but that's not necessarily the case. Let's study it slowly when you have time. Now let's figure out the hilt of the sword. Miaomiao, come here." After hearing Miaomiao's words, Ye Hong thought in his heart He was shocked, but decided to find out about the hilt first.
Miaomiao slowly walked to Ye Hong and said, "Brother Ye Hong, I'm afraid of pain. Can you please be gentle?"
Hearing Miaomiao's words, Ye Hong had no choice but to say, "...Hold me and don't look at me."
Miaomiao held Ye Hong tightly with one hand and buried her head in Ye Hong's chest. Ye Hong pricked Miaomiao's finger lightly, and blood flowed out instantly. He dripped the blood on the hilt of the sword, one drop, two drops, three drops. Even after more than a dozen drops were placed on the hilt, no reaction was seen on the hilt. . Ye Hong wondered, "There are so many, why is there still no response? This is not logical."
"Brother Ye Hong, are you okay?"
"This thing still hasn't changed. Miaomiao, get up first. I'll try it with my blood." After saying that, he pricked his finger with the tip of the knife, and blood dripped on the hilt. After a moment, the sword hilt still didn't respond.
Ye Hong couldn't help but look at the sword hilt and fell into deep thought. Miao Miao didn't know what to do at the side, so she could only try to inject elemental power into the sword hilt. Just after the elemental power was injected into the sword hilt for a while, the sword hilt suddenly glowed brightly and the rust began to fall off. Ye Hong also woke up from his meditation,
"Miaomiao, what did you just do?"
Miaomiao said innocently, "I didn't do anything. I just injected my elemental power into the hilt again, and that was it."
When the rust on the sword's hilt fell off, a black stream of light began to appear from the sword's jaw. These streams of light intertwined together to resemble the blade of a sword, and then the entire sword flew in front of Miaomiao.
"Brother Ye Hong, I seem to be able to sense this sword. It told me it's called the Shadow Sword."
"Shadow Sword? See what function this sword has."
"It has two forms. When in combat form, it can turn into a sword like it is now. When in non-combat form, it can turn into whatever I want." As she said that, Miao Miao turned the Shadow Sword into a sword. It became a bracelet and was worn on the hand.
"Brother Ye Hong, do you like it?"
"...Good-looking" Ye Hong looked at the bracelet on Miaomiao's hand in shock.
"Hehe~ Brother Ye Hong, the power of this sword will increase as my cultivation level increases, and it can also hide my cultivation level."
When Ye Hong heard Miaomiao's words, he couldn't calm down for a long time. "Oh, this is a bunker. It's really a plug-in. I have to hold Miaomiao's thigh tightly from now on."
"Then you have to keep it away and don't show it casually. This is a good thing. I will have to rely on you to protect me from now on."
"Hehe~ Of course, I will protect Brother Ye Hong from now on. Brother Ye Hong, look again!" As he said that, the table in front of him disappeared out of thin air.
Seeing that the table was missing, Ye Hong hurried over to look for it, "You split it into powder in an instant? No, there was no powder. Did you split it into elements?"
"No! It's here." Miaomiao said, raising her hand with the bracelet and shaking it. In an instant, the table reappeared in the room.
"...Storage sword, this is too..."
"Miaomiao, let's finish our research tonight. After you have this sword, you can't let it go in your daily practice. I will take you out to practice in a while."
"Okay! Brother Ye Hong, good night!" Miaomiao nodded in agreement, and when she saw Ye Hong walking out of the room, the corners of Miaomiao's mouth slightly raised and she smiled evilly.
After Ye Hong returned to his room, he lay on the bed thinking about what happened tonight. He was really shocked. Whether it was the old man or the sword, the world might not be as simple as he imagined. There are many things you still need to discover on your own.
Ye Hong was about to find a comfortable position to sleep when he suddenly felt a tingle on the back of his neck. When he took out his hand, he found that it was the spiritual practice method he had put under his pillow at noon.
"Read these books tomorrow. If they are useless, throw them into Miaomiao's storage sword. Whenever you collect more, sell them. It will all be money."
Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!
A knock on the door woke up Ye Hong who was thinking, and Ye Hong threw aside the books in his hand. He said to the door, "Miaomiao, are you knocking on the door?"
Seeing that no one responded and the knocking on the door continued, Ye Hong walked to the door and opened it, "Grandma Liu, is that you? Hey! Why is there no one?"
Ye Hong went out to look around in confusion, but still saw no one. Just as Ye Hong went out to check, a black figure quietly flashed into Ye Hong's house.
"No one? There can't be a ghost, right?" Ye Hong shuddered, quickly closed the door and returned to the house to cover himself with a quilt.
It wasn't until a while later that he heard no more knocking on the door that Ye Hong let go of the quilt and fell into a deep sleep. The figure hiding in the dark walked out and slowly came to Ye Hong's bed, "Hehe~ I didn't expect brother Ye Hong to be afraid of ghosts. Now you can't shut me out anymore."
Miaomiao gently prepared to lie down next to Ye Hong. She found a few books lying next to her and put them into the storage sword. Then she lay on the bed and looked at the sleeping Ye Hong carefully, and gradually fell into fell asleep.
······
The next morning, Ye Hong woke up in a daze and touched his side, ready to look for a spiritual practice method. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong in his hand.
"Why are you so soft and have such long hair...hair?" Ye Hong woke up instantly, opened his eyes and looked to the side,
"Hmm~ Don't touch people, it's itchy~" Miaomiao mumbled in her sleep as she felt itching on her face.
"Miaomiao! Why are you here? When did you come in?" Ye Hong suddenly thought of what happened last night, "It turns out it was you at that time. You are such a clever little guy."
Miaomiao also woke up at this time and saw Ye Hong staring at her, "Good morning, brother Ye Hong! Hehe~" She stood up and ran back to her room in an instant.
Seeing Miaomiao running out, Ye Hong remembered the matter of looking for the booklet, and then looked at the position where Miaomiao was sleeping just now, "This girl must have put the sword back. Forget it, it saves you the trouble. I'll see you later." Ask Miaomiao to pick up a copy and read it."
When eating in the morning, Miaomiao lowered her head and did not dare to look up at Ye Hong. She kept glancing secretly and then lowered her head.
"My dear granddaughter! Why do you keep your head down when you eat? Your food will be delicious."
Miaomiao blushed and raised her head when she heard her grandma's words. Ye Hong told Grandma Liu that Miaomiao had special spiritual roots and could not only practice but also practice very quickly. He said that he would take Miaomiao out to practice, and Grandma Liu readily agreed.
After breakfast, Ye Hong went to the house to look for Miaomiao and asked for the cultivation method that she had put away last night. Ye Hong was going to use it to study, maybe there would be someone who could help him practice. Miaomiao saw that Ye Hong didn't mention that she sneaked into his room last night. Miaomiao knew that Ye Hong wasn't angry at all, so she forgot about it after a few days.
After a few days, Ye Hong also read the basic training methods of exchange several times, but still couldn't find a way to practice it. Today he plans to exchange a few more martial arts books and a few combat skills for Miaomiao. After a while, he will have to take Miaomiao out to practice, and he can't be a master of all combat skills. We also need to exchange some coins, buy a house in the city, and pay for going out for training.
Ye Hong came to Teacher Li's attic again,
"Teacher Li, I still need to redeem a few exercises."
Instructor Li was confused, "Didn't you redeem it just a few days ago? I heard from Mr. Mu that you redeemed several books last time, and you finished studying them so quickly? Can you sense the elements?"
"Hehe~ Not yet, Teacher Li, last time I exchanged all the cultivation methods without attribute restrictions, so this time I want to exchange some cultivation methods with attribute requirements to try."
