Qian Chao felt that he had benefited a lot from the fire control technique from Sister Yan today. When he returned to his residence, he took the "Fire Control Technique" given by Yanxuan and studied it carefully. He found a book on the second floor of the Jiuxuan Library. The book recorded a method that could break through the limit of six runes on a green copper spirit sword. Although some other materials needed to be added, that method was The requirements for fire control skills are even more stringent.
Jiuxuan's Five Elements spells also include fire control techniques, but those are mostly used to attack opponents when fighting. It seems that the subtleties of fire control are still thoroughly studied by Qixia Mountain. Qian Chao was greatly inspired by "The Art of Fire" after reading it.
However, this is not an urgent matter. The five of them have arranged to meet again at Helou next month. Qian Chao really feels that his cultivation can take a step forward when they meet again next time, so he puts this "Lihuo Technique" was put away, and I was going to study it in detail after a breakthrough. For now, I focused on my cultivation.
Yanxuan returned to Qixia Mountain. At his residence, he carefully sorted out what Qian Chao had told him today. He was afraid that he had missed any details, so he still thought about it and recorded it with pen and paper under the lamp. He wrote down two notes one by one. Paper. She majored in the "Southern Fire Technique" scripture, and then minored in fire control and object control. However, she usually only worked hard on fire control. If Qian Chao didn't talk about this object control today, she would still have it. I had no idea it had so many wonderful uses. Today was really an eye-opener.
However, when Yanxuan got up and tried it on her own the next day, she discovered that she was not yet able to use the art of controlling objects as eyes like Qian Chao. However, she was not discouraged, knowing that she had put aside her main experience. In terms of fire control, this object control is just a superficial improvement. In addition, the method that Qian Chao mentioned that can be used together with the two spells is also stumbling in Yanxuan's use. Her "Southern Fire Technique" is combined with the fire control technique. If used, it will always cause the other to break unconsciously due to being too focused on one spell. After Yanxuan thought about it carefully, he decided that the only difference was in the level of heat, so he eliminated some of the anxiety in his heart and began to work hard on it seriously.
Tang Ping returned to Fairy Guhuo's cave. During this day's play, her friends were very happy together, which left her a little unfinished. But after all, she remembered what Qian Chao said, so she went inside after returning. Inside the master's cave.
"Master"
"Huh, you've been running around wildly outside all day, and you still know how to come back!"
"Master!" Tang Ping began to use her invincible coquettish skills, "You have said that this practice requires one to relax one by one?"
"I also said that this kind of practice requires years and months of non-satisfaction before it can improve. Why did you forget this sentence?"
"I can't forget it. Don't you remember Master's teachings? Didn't I come back early?" Having said this, Tang Ping sat forward obediently and gently beat her Master's legs with her little fist. While saying, "Master, I always feel as if I am about to break through..."
Before she finished speaking, Fairy Guhuo turned to look at her, and then said: "It's really fast. Speaking of which, as a master, I am quite envious of you!"
"Oh? Then why?"
"I'm afraid Master can't even remember the feeling of breaking through the cultivation level. After being in solitary confinement for decades, but feeling that the cultivation level has not improved even after being released, it feels very bad. When Master reaches this stage, everything seems to be in front of his eyes. Road, but I just don’t know which one is the right way. Which one can go smoothly, I have to try one by one. If one road doesn’t work, I can only change to another one. But even if it doesn’t work, the master will spend ten years. It will take decades or twenty years to discover it. It’s not like your sixth grandfather, who is so lucky!”
"Master, eh, this teacup is easy to fill, and the teapot is also easy to fill. Even a big water tank will be full after a few rains. It is naturally not easy for the rivers and lakes like you, old man, to overflow again, but Jiren Zi With the help of heaven, you will certainly be able to make many further steps forward!"
"Haha, you said it nicely, so teach me a lesson! Well, now that you have feelings, Master will not allow you to go out and run around before the breakthrough. During this period, you can practice with peace of mind. If you want to go out to play again, wait After you break through."
"Well, don't worry, Master, I will be studying at home during this period. By the way, Master, what preparations should I make for this breakthrough?"
"No, you can just continue to practice as usual. In your Qi refining stage, except when you finally attack the foundation, Master can help you. With your qualifications, you don't have to worry about anything else, as long as you are not playful. Just mess around.”
"Um!"
Lu Pingchuan was a typical carefree person with no taboos. He returned to his master's cave in Houtu Temple, practiced the exercises for a while and then fell asleep. When he got up the next day, he did not dare to be lazy as per Kang Fu's usual requirements.
While he was sitting quietly and breathing, he suddenly smelled the smell of tobacco, and knew that his master had left seclusion.
Na Kangfu stood behind Lu Pingchuan, clicking the pipe while staring at his apprentice. After looking at it for a while, he said: "Boy, I think you seem to have improved a bit in the past few days. Pack up and I'll take you out."
Lu Pingchuan's favorite thing was to leave the sect with Kang Fu. He was overjoyed when he heard this and stopped practicing. He put his hands on the ground and his whole body was lifted off the ground. He turned several somersaults in the air and landed on the ground. He kept saying "Okay, okay!"
While Lu Pingchuan was in high spirits, Li Jian was practicing beside his bamboo forest in Muxiu Peak. Yesterday, he planned to ask Qian Chao about the spiritual bamboo, but he forgot about it as soon as they met and talked about it. , well, let’s ask again when we meet next time.
After finishing meditating and refining his Qi, Li Jian stood up and walked into the bamboo forest. His practice was actually very simple. He meditated first every day, and then went to the bamboo forest to fight with bees. However, those who come to the wild beehive these days to cause trouble, whether they are bee thieves who hunt wild bees or red bears that harm the hive, are basically killed by Li Jian. Without the suppression of natural enemies, the bee colony reproduces at a faster rate Faster, not only were there more bee nests on that mountain wall, but wild bees began to build nests on several other mountain walls, so now that Li Jian entered the bamboo forest, he could provoke more wild bees to swarm him.
It just so happened that just as Li Jian was having a hearty fight with the wild bees in the dark clouds in the bamboo forest, two people passed by the bamboo forest from the air and saw the scene in the bamboo forest from a distance. The first one was curious. He came to watch with his flying sword, but he was afraid of disturbing Li Jian, so he used a spell to hide the two of them.
He saw countless ferocious wild bees surrounding Li Jian in the middle. It was really like a large dark cloud full of thunderstorms falling in the bamboo forest. A green light flashed and wandered around in the dark cloud.
"Master, what is he doing?" a little girl's voice asked.
"Can't you tell? Of course he's practicing." A woman's voice replied.
After watching for a while, the little girl's voice asked again, "What kind of practice are you doing! It's been so long, and none of those wild bees have died. If it were me, I could kill most of these wild bees with just a few sword blows." .”
However, the woman did not speak anymore, and just snorted softly. The little girl heard the master's dissatisfaction, so she remained silent. She just stood on the master's spiritual sword and watched the boy below dealing with the bee clumsily. group.
The hidden woman was counting the time for Li Jian while watching. She thought in her mind several times that it was almost done. However, she saw that Li Jian in the swarm was able to steadily resist the attack of the swarm. She couldn't help but She was also curious, and she also saw that Li Jian was not only undefeated, but also took the time to look in the direction of her in the air several times. With so many wild bees attacking him, he could actually feel that someone was peeping here. He didn't panic at all when he came to fight the swarm.
Finally, Li Jian, who had been holding on for a long time, felt exhausted and launched a fierce attack. A green light broke through the black cloud composed of the bee swarm and flew up to the sky above the bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, the bee swarm refused to let go of this guy who came to cause trouble every day. Following closely, the dark clouds rose up with a buzzing sound and surrounded Li Jian again in almost the blink of an eye.
The green light in Li Jian's hand was strong, and he rushed out from the dark clouds after a few back and forth. He tried to get rid of the swarm with several quick flashes, but the swarm was still chasing after him, and the two sides began to chase above the bamboo forest. In the end, Li Jian got rid of most of the wild bees, but there were still dozens of them that seemed to be the elite of the wild bees and kept biting Li Jian.
Li Jian was not in a hurry. When the dozens of wild bees were chasing after him, a green light shone when he turned back. He saw that the dozens of wild bees seemed to have been hit by a big slap, and there were dense black little ones in the air. Click to fall.
Li Jian ignored him and sped up to escape.
But those densely falling black dots fell a few feet and then flapping their wings again, stabilizing their bodies in the air. However, at this time, the troublemaker could no longer be found, and they could only fly back to the bamboo forest in frustration. of the hive.
The little girl in the air couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Jian escaping in such a mess.
"Okay," the woman said with some displeasure, "You only saw the excitement, but didn't see any clues?"
"Oh, what's the secret?"
"If it were just to kill those wild bees, do you think he can't do it? If it were you, would you be able to survive the siege of those wild bees without getting hurt?"
"Of course it can. If you don't believe me, I'll go down and give it a try!"
"But if you can't be hurt, and you can't kill any of the wild bees that are besieging you, can you do that?"
"Not one of them will die?" The little girl looked back in disbelief. She was confident that she could keep herself safe among the bees, but it would be difficult if none of the wild bees attacking her died. , if it is true, it seems that the boy below has some ability.
Thinking about it, it seems that it is really not easy for her to do it. This little girl is still a little unconvinced.
"Wouldn't it be easier to protect yourself and kill all the swarms?"
"Okay, don't be dissatisfied. The child must have kept this swarm to hone his sword skills every day. Well, I know you and that girl Yun often play together, but let me tell you, if I see you today, Say even half a word to that girl Yun, and I won’t want you anymore, do you understand?”
"Oh, I understand, Master." The little girl immediately replied obediently upon hearing this.
This woman is none other than Fairy Lengyue, Mu Xiufeng's alchemy cultivator, and that little girl is one of her apprentices named Ling Yue. They met by chance today, and she discovered that Li Jian really suited her liking, and his mastery of sword energy had surpassed that of the apprentice beside her. Alas, if she had known better, she would have persisted when Li Jian entered Mu Xiufeng, even if she was offended for a moment. So what if I lose Senior Brother Sun? My temper has become less and less like my own over the years, and I only end up regretting it because of my hesitation.
Anyway, since it was confiscated at the time, let's wait a little longer. It's good that the child came up with such an idea to practice swordsmanship on his own. If he practiced by his side, he probably wouldn't have such an opportunity. But I should go to the head senior brother and say a few more words, lest any senior brother sees this child take him under his sect on a whim, and he will really regret it.
With a flash of the spiritual sword, the master and apprentice flew away from the bamboo forest silently. Before leaving, the girl did not forget to turn around and make a fierce face at Li Jian who was in the bamboo hut in the distance.
However, she was hidden, so Li Jian on the ground was naturally invisible.
When Li Jian was fighting with the swarm, he felt someone peeping at him. It was not one person, but two people. The one he could feel seemed to be about the same level of cultivation as himself, and the other one was definitely a senior. He could only force it with his full concentration. I felt a faint powerful aura, but because I was distracted, I almost got killed by the wild bee. When I looked up but couldn't see it, I knew that a senior was passing by, and I didn't care. Now I felt that the powerful aura had disappeared, so I knew that the person was gone, so I stopped thinking about it. The senior was passing by. It's a normal thing here. What's the use of thinking about it so much? It's better to put more effort into it.
At this time, outside the sect, Kang Fu was holding a pipe in his mouth and looked at Lu Pingchuan with a look of disgust as he skinned the dead animals lying on the ground.
"I told you that you can't eat these things, so why are you bothering with them!"
Indeed, some of these monsters are edible, but some are not. For example, the ones on the ground that were killed by Lu Pingchuan are called "Wrong Teeth Meng". This thing looks like a dog but is slightly smaller than a dog. Its sharp teeth are terrifying. This beast lives in groups and is cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, making it difficult to deal with.
The gallbladder of this wrong tooth is poisonous. When it knows that it will die if it is defeated, it has a natural way to break its own gallbladder and let the poison spread throughout the body along with the blood. In this way, even if the opponent eats it, it will be poisoned by itself. Although it is not edible, this Trouble-Toothed Monk can be regarded as a low-level monster. At least its skin can be used to refine armor. If a monk with advanced cultivation level kills these Trouble-Toothed Monk, these guys can be caught off guard. If killed, there is no time to break the poisonous gallbladder in the body. The poisonous gallbladder can be completely taken out and refined, and it can also be used as medicine. If killed like this, even the bones with missing teeth can be used as medicine. It's just that Lu Pingchuan can't do it with his cultivation level, so he can only skin the dead beasts in this place.
"Hehe, I know, master, didn't you say that this leather can still be used? I took it off and used it for my brother to refine weapons."
As he spoke, he quickly peeled off a piece of bloody skin and threw it to one side. Then he threw the skinless dead animal to the other side. He casually inserted the short knife in his hand into the skinning hole with a "click" sound. Go and drag down a dead beast on that rock.
Kang Fu had seen the broken knife used by his apprentice to peel off animal skins before. It was made of iron and was unusually thick and blunt, so he was a little surprised when he saw that the short knife was so sharp. With a move of his hand, the short knife jumped out of the stone. came out and flew into his hands.
He looked at the knife twice, weighed it in his hand, and threw it back to his apprentice.
Although Kang Fu was a physical practitioner and didn't know much about weapon refining, he had extensive knowledge. After all, he was a monk who formed pills. He found that the knife could not change size or fly, but was sharp and strong, so he knew that it was specially made for skinning monster beasts.
"Did you buy this knife from Helou that day? How many spiritual stones did you spend on it?"
Kang Fu heard from Lu Pingchuan that he and some friends went to Helou for a day of fun yesterday. Among his apprentice's friends, he only knew one Tang Ping, who was the granddaughter of his old friend Tang Bonian, so he felt relieved.
"Oh, I didn't buy this knife. My brother Qian refined it and gave it to me. I don't even remember when I told him that it was no longer useful, but he remembered it in his heart. Hehe, It’s very useful.”
"Well," Kang Fu had some impression of the little guy named Qian. When he was too lazy to teach his disciples things in the book, it was the kid named Qian who he sent Lu Pingchuan to find. The dagger cannot change in size, so it naturally requires a lot of materials. Looking at the size of the dagger, it seems that the boy named Qian is solid, and it can only be refined with enough materials.
Nodding, Kang Fu said: "Okay, I have a few friends. When you can go out on your own in the future, you will have a companion."
Kang Fu heard from Lu Pingchuan that several of his close friends had been playing together since they were young, when Ming Gu was training, and they were very close to each other. Kang Fu counted with his fingers and found that there were exactly five people. He couldn't help but sigh to himself. This old man Tang was a guy full of evil ideas. He didn't expect that his granddaughter was even more complicated. She was still training in Youming Valley at a young age. , I started to prepare for going out to the third level of Qi Refining. It was good that a few people had the same temperament and there would be no intrigues, so I could rest assured. Well, that's fine, then I'll be a little tired and work harder to bring this kid to the third level of Qi Refining and see how you guys mess with him.
Kang Fu thought these were Tang Ping's ideas, and didn't know that Qian Chao was the one who came up with it.
Seeing that his apprentice had almost finished cleaning up, Kang Fu put away his tobacco bag and said to Lu Pingchuan, "How are you? Are you tired today? If not, how about I take you out for a spin?"
"Okay!" Lu Pingchuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He originally thought that after killing these guys, he would go back today. He didn't expect that the master was in such a high mood today. He would have known that he would not pack these away just now and go directly to the storage bag. Just throw it in, it will waste time.
"Let's go", Kang Fu's body rose into the air, and Lu Pingchuan followed closely behind.
Speaking of which, Kang Fu had taught a few disciples, but those disciples did not receive the same treatment as Lu Pingchuan.
When those disciples were practicing by his side, he would teach them some, and then let them practice by themselves in Houtu Temple. After a while, he would come back to see them. If they practiced well, they would be rewarded, and if they practiced poorly, they would be punished. Who can be like Lu Pingchuan who not only keeps an eye on them every day, but is also taken out every once in a while to deal with those low-level monsters, and explains them while watching this kid do it. Even the fellow disciples of Houtu Temple were very curious when they knew that Kang Fu led his disciples like this. Thinking of this, Kang Fu felt proud, hum, do you have any disciples with good qualifications? Of course, I should treat him differently because he has great qualifications. What Old Man Tang said is true. Yes, it is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. This is what I mean by teaching students in accordance with their aptitude! Thinking of this, Kang Fu, who was flying in front, couldn't help but feel a little carried away.
