"Little sister Ji, you did well today."
Ji Yuanjie slowed down, walked to Ji Qingling's side, and patted her shoulder.
Ji Qingling raised his eyebrows, "Just average."
Because Ji Qingyuan and Ji Qingling were very familiar with him, they spoke much more casually.
So the two brothers and sisters will have the same expressions of raising their eyebrows proudly?
Era Festival was funny, "I see how you made such rapid progress after entering the second level of Qi Refining? You were able to weave a web like that just now?"
"I must make this clear. This net was woven by Sister Yuxue. I just attached the golden armor technique."
"Golden Armor Technique? Can Golden Armor Technique still be used like this?" Ji Yuanjie was puzzled.
"Why can't it be used like this? Otherwise, I can weave a net with my metallic spiritual power? What are you thinking about? You just said that I am only at the second level of Qi refining."
She reached out and pulled off a branch on the side of the road, played with it in her hand, and cast the Golden Armor Technique with a thought.
Handing the golden branch to Jianyuan Jie, "Hey, here it is for you."
Ji Yuanjie held the golden branch and said, "So it's really that simple. When Ji Mingyuan said you were smart, you were really not bragging at all."
But he didn't know that if he wanted to attach such a net, he wouldn't be able to do it without strong spiritual power and precise control of spiritual power beyond ordinary people.

By the time the team found the second cave, it was already dark.
Ji Yuanjie discussed with them and decided to camp nearby first and then go into the cave to explore early tomorrow morning.
Although monks like to carry commonly used things with them, many of the people who brought food only brought a little.
Moreover, everyone only knew the test questions at the last minute. The monks in the Qi refining stage were not yet able to live without grains, so eating in the next few days became a problem.
During the Era Festival, I took people to hunt for prey, intending to solve all the food problems for the past few days at once.
Ji Yuxue is responsible for leading people to guard the camp, collecting food from everyone, and possible elixirs and talismans.
So when Ji Qingling took out her pile of food, drinks, fruits and snacks, everyone else stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
Ji Yuxue looked at the piles of meat cakes and said hesitantly: "Well~, I think we can call Yuan Jie back. What Qing Ling has eaten is enough for the eight of us to eat for a few days."
After saying that, he smiled sheepishly at Ji Qingling.
Ji Qingling also smiled at her sheepishly. This monk's storage bag has its own space. The food will not rot or spoil when put in it. Whatever you put in it, it will stay the same when you take it out.
That's why she bought so much ice-cold fruit tea at once, as well as meat pies that she always had to queue up to buy.
Ji Hui came over at this time, "Is there anything else in your storage bag besides food?"
Ji Qingling replied to her: "You have something to eat, are you reluctant to take it out?"
When they came back from the Era Festival, they had not encountered many prey just now, so they thought they would have to prepare some more on the road tomorrow.
Seeing the food provided by Ji Qingling, he felt that Ji Xiaomei was really his lucky star.
"Little sister Ji, you are so capable!" She said it loudly and forcefully.
During the meal, she watched everyone eating her meatloaf and drinking her fruit tea.
Ji Qingling suddenly felt that the food in his hand no longer tasted good at all. Why did his heart hurt so much...

Early the next morning, everyone got ready and headed towards the second cave entrance.
This time they learned from yesterday's experience and lured Xue Ling'e out first to eliminate her. As expected, Xue Ling'e who didn't lose her child was much easier to deal with.
The hunt was successful, and the whole team went into the cave to collect eggs.
The same dark cave, with insect eggs hidden on the stone walls.
Worried that there were other Xue Ling'e hiding in the cave, and because the spiritual power might destroy the eggs, no one used the cleaning technique.
Everyone continued to search for the sunstone.
This time the goddess of luck did not visit, and only twenty-one were found in total.
Just as he was about to leave, Ji Qingling found a few sporadic insect pupae moving underground.
She knelt down and observed carefully. There was dust. What was this?
"Don't move, that's Xue Ling'e's pupa. It's poisonous, so be careful."
Ji Yuxue came over to remind her.
"Sister Yuxue, is this Xue Ling'e's insect pupa? Speaking of which, why didn't you find the shell of insect eggs on the stone wall?"
"I don't know about this, but this pupa has no other effect besides being a little poisonous, so it's better not to touch it and let it grow up and continue to lay eggs."
"..."
After leaving the second cave, Ji Qingling and her friends were not as lucky as before.
I didn't encounter Xue Ling'e again, but I encountered several monsters. Fortunately, after two days of cooperation, the team members had a lot of tacit understanding and successfully hunted them down.
After several rounds of sieges, Ji Qingling finally confirmed that her spiritual power was indeed stronger than others.
Ji Hui had already taken three qi-replenishing pills, but she felt that the spiritual power in her dantian could still fight two more monsters.
So far, the little sprouts haven't had any bad effects.
She decided to stay put and observe.
Because it is Xue Ling'e's spawning period recently, there are many more monks coming to Tianmu Forest.
Ji Qingling's team also encountered other monks, but they didn't dare to provoke them because they saw the Ji family's logo.
But who doesn’t have a few mortal enemies? Sometimes the more you don’t want to meet someone, the more you will meet them.
Ji Yuanjie looked at the few people blocking the way across from him. They were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and they should have gone into the mountains to look for insect eggs.
The most important thing is the mark on their clothes, Tongcheng Hong Family!
Since the Hong family failed to seize the tree last time, they instead destroyed the green wooden tripod borrowed from the City Lord's Mansion.
The Hong family never had a good time in the City Lord's Mansion, and it wasn't until they paid out spiritual stones that were far more than twice the value of the Green Wood Cauldron.
Since then, I have hated the Ji family. Although I didn't deal with them before, they are not as incompatible as they are now.
Looking at the Ji family again, the Hong family destroyed the thousand-year-old spiritual tree in the family. This hatred may never be resolved.
If it weren't for the fear of being taken advantage of by other families, the head of the Ji family would have brought his clan members to the Hong family to fight to the death.
The current calm on the surface is just because both families are seriously injured and they dare not take action easily for the time being.
"Isn't this the Era Festival? Are you bringing a few little kids out to clear it up?"
"Hong Sheng'an?" Ji Yuanjie didn't expect to meet this person here.
Hong Sheng'an of the Hong family was at the third level of Qi refining like Ji Yuanjie, and he often had conflicts with them in Tongcheng.
Today, he followed the clan's team out to look for insect eggs, and when he saw that Ji Yuanjie came out, they were all in the early stages of Qi refining.
Thinking about my defeat at the hands of this kid in Tongcheng last time, I immediately made up my mind to make him look good today.
The lowest cultivation level on his side is his third level of Qi refining, but the highest cultivation level on his side is Ji Yuan Jie, who is also on the third level of Qi refining.
This is easy to handle, hahahaha, God help him.
If the Era Festival fell into his hands today, he would have to shed his skin even if he died.
Over there, Hong Sheng'an told his teammates about their identities during the Era Festival, and sure enough, everyone looked at them with a bit more unkind eyes.
Ji Yuanjie here is praying in his heart, hoping that there are really family elders protecting them secretly, otherwise these people will be beaten half to death.
Something seemed to have been discussed over there, and Ji Qingling saw Hong Sheng'an becoming arrogant at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Stop saying anything, Era Festival, let you people hand over the storage bags first."
Ji Qingling subconsciously clutched her storage bag, which was all her belongings.
"Hong Sheng'an, don't bully others too much."
