Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
"Stop, you bunch of stinky ghosts. Come back if you have the ability. Try beating me up!"
Outside the Yinfeng Stream, on a ten-mile slope.
The girl in gray clothes carried a hatchet and ran like the wind. She suddenly stepped on the grass and flew up, slashing at the fleeing ghost lanterns in front of her!
The golden glow suddenly appeared, and the phosphorus fire burst.
The power accumulated by the thirty-three sharp arts suddenly exploded, and the vast group of ghost lanterns disappeared in the golden light in an instant. The remaining few were so frightened that they lost their lantern shape and ran for their lives.
[You use the Star Chaser Step to drive away the ghost lanterns. After a period of use, your understanding of the footwork suddenly becomes clear, and your Star Chaser Step proficiency +5]
[Congratulations, your star-chasing step has promoted you to the realm of success]
[You kill the ghost lanterns with the wood-chopping knife method. After a period of use, your understanding of the knife method suddenly becomes clear, and your wood-chopping knife method proficiency +5]
[Congratulations, your wood chopping skills have been promoted to the level of Xiaocheng]
Jiang Yuebai stood up with the knife in hand and exhaled, "Finally a breakthrough, finally the work was not in vain. After all, the breakthrough is faster in actual combat."
【Martial Arts】
Star Chasing Step (Xiao Cheng: 1/1000)
Woodcutter Technique (Xiao Cheng: 1/1000)
Grandpa said that if you have a small level of martial arts skills, as long as you don't encounter the late stage of Qi training and don't have a head-on confrontation with monks and magic talismans, you can still escape with your life by fighting with a few moves.
If she were to catch him off guard, she would have a chance to win.
In the early and mid-term, Qi training monks mainly use the method of moving Qi to widen the meridians and accumulate spiritual energy to temper the body. Apart from mastering some small spells and being able to use talismans, they are not much different from ordinary martial artists.
Only in the later stages of Qi training, when the body is strong, the spiritual consciousness has begun to show its power, and can control powerful magic weapons, is it truly powerful and difficult to deal with.
Jiang Yuebai rubbed his nose and looked up.
Everything in the four fields is clear, and there is no shadow of phosphorus fire.
"A bunch of cowards!"
An spat, Jiang Yuebai put the hatchet on his shoulder and left Shilipo with arrogant steps.
Tomorrow is the last day of the January deadline. She has to go to the sect's handyman hall to report her cultivation. She will let these ghost lanterns go for now and come back next time.
The speed of the ghost lantern is stronger when it comes to strength, and although its attack power is weak, it is still the best choice for practicing martial arts and spells.
As soon as Jiang Yuebai left, little green rays of light appeared from all over the ten-mile slope, like frightened birds.
They never dreamed that in just ten days, the situation would suddenly turn around.
The little girl who was once surrounded by them until she cried is now chasing them viciously and beating her all over the mountain.
*
It rains slightly in early autumn, and the smoke locks the pond.
Jiang Yuebai went boating out of the mountains and rushed home before dawn.
"Xiaobai, what are you doing?"
When Jiang Yuebai heard the sound, she turned around and saw Lu Ying standing pretty at the door of her courtyard, carrying a wooden bucket and getting ready to fetch water from the stream.
"Going to practice." Jiang Yuebai said casually.
Lu Ying raised her eyebrows, looked at Jiang Yuebai carefully, and found that she was full of spiritual light, her eyes lit up, "You have a breakthrough?!"
Jiang Yuebai nodded. She had just removed the talisman that concealed her aura. From today on, she no longer had to hide her cultivation.
"Thank God, you finally made it to the last day. I thought I was going to see you off today. But you are a bit behind in your progress. I have almost started to learn "Aoki Kung Fu". What do I don't know about my future practice? , remember to ask me."
Jiang Yuebai nodded with a smile and hurried home.
After washing up, I took advantage of the dawn of the Golden Crow to meditate.
When Jiang Yuebai woke up after a week of qi, he found that Tao Fengnian had not returned home yet and had been busy all night again.
But what he is busy with is not the work in his own field, but the harvesting, breeding and sowing of the twenty acres of spiritual land owned by the bully Jia Wei in the valley.
Jia Wei claimed that the spiritual field belonged to him, but in fact it was Tao Fengnian who planted it. However, when the harvest came, Jia Wei didn't even receive a single token of thanks, and he justifiably complained that the yield was not as good as last season.
Jiang Yuebai was indignant, but Tao Fengnian swallowed his anger.
Just because he had offended the alchemy elder Lin Xiangtian in his early years, and Jia Wei's biological sister was Lin Xiangtian's unknown Taoist companion and had already established a foundation.
Lin Suiwan, Lin Xiangtian, the Lin family is a nest of snakes and rats, and no one is a good person!
After the spiritual rice was steamed in the pot, coughing could be heard from outside the hospital. Jiang Yuebai wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She looked at Tao Fengnian with distressed eyes, covered in mud and looking tired.
"Cough, cough, cough."
In the late autumn, Tao Fengnian coughed violently and kept pounding his sore back.
"Grandpa, your cough has gotten worse and worse recently. Do you want to see a doctor?" Qiu Yuebai took the hoe and bamboo hat and pushed Tao Fengnian to sit down.
Tao Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandpa has perfected his qi practice and is immune to all diseases. He is just a little old."
"Grandpa is not old. It's that Jia Wei who makes grandpa work so hard. Grandpa, please rest while I serve the food."
Tao Fengnian nodded, and when Jiang Yuebai entered the kitchen, he secretly took out the cigarette rod, and before he lit it, he heard a drink.
"No smoking on the pole, and you're still coughing!"
Jiang Yuebai ran out and fiercely snatched the cigarette rod from Tao Fengnian's hand.
Tao Fengnian smacked his lips, laughed and shook his head.
In the breakfast room, Jiang Yuebai sat upright and chewed slowly, no longer as wolfish and uneducated as he had been before.
These days, I have been nourishing my spiritual energy, eating spiritual rice, and after washing my essence and cutting my marrow, my skin is fair and tender, and my already exquisite facial features are more agile and full, especially my almond-shaped eyes, which are full of stars and smiles, shining brightly.
Although the world is suffering, she has also experienced the uncertainty of the world. Tao Fengnian really doesn't know why she is so silly and happy every day. He doesn't know what she has gone through, but he still thinks that she has been carefree and grown up in wealth.
The bitterer the heart, the sweeter the face, that's what she said.
Tao Fengnian looked at it and suddenly became worried. He was so good-looking, sweet-talking, smart and clever. He couldn't be deceived by some brat in the future, otherwise he would crawl out of his grave.
"Grandpa, are you full? I'll collect the dishes and wash them. You can continue to rest."
Jiang Yuebai stood up and put away the bowl. Tao Fengnian felt extremely distressed when he saw her fingers were blue and purple, and her wrists and ankles were wrapped with strips of cloth.
She practiced hard every day and never slackened off. She was scarred all over her body and never cried out about hardship. These days, she also took on the responsibility of taking care of him, an old man. How could such a good child not make people feel bad for her.
"Are you going to the handyman hall to report your cultivation today?"
"Well, today is the last day of the January period. If I don't go, I will be expelled from the sect."
"The Assistant Hall is at the foot of Tianman Peak, some distance away from Huaxi Valley. When you have finished packing, Grandpa will send you there."
Jiang Yuebai put away the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Grandpa, rest. I'll ask Lu Ying to take me there."
"She still has to walk for a long time to take you. Haven't you always wanted to fly? Grandpa will take you."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up, "Really? Aren't the handyman disciples not allowed to fly in the air within the sect?"
Tao Fengnian straightened his back, "Grandpa is a spiritual cultivator, and his status is equivalent to that of an outer disciple. Naturally, he can control the air."
Jiang Yue's eyes flashed with stars, and a picture of wielding a sword and riding the wind, chasing clouds and cranes, and soaring through the world immediately appeared in her mind.
only……
Squeak-yah!
Squeak-yah!
In the mountains and woods, paper cranes soar into the sky.
The bamboo and paper rubbed together, making an overwhelming sound.
Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged behind Tao Fengnian, clutching his sleeves tightly, and looked at the paper crane under the seat made of bamboo branches made of bones, covered with yellow paper and painted with cinnabar runes.
Grass clippings and traces of paste can be seen everywhere, scrawled like a three-year-old child gluing them together, swaying, flying high and low against the top of the tree.
Jiang Yuebai always felt that the paper crane would fall apart at any time.
Whoosh!
A ray of sword light pierced the sky. Jiang Yuebai raised his head and saw a handsome male cultivator standing with a flying sword on his feet and his hands behind his back. His clothes and sleeves were flying, looking so handsome.
There was another crane cry, and the cold female cultivator sat cross-legged on the back of the crane, followed by young cranes on the left and right, looking carefree in the clouds.
The crane feathers are white and soft, making them very comfortable at first sight.
Squeak-yah!
Squeak-yah!
"Ahem," Tao Feng said with a slight blush on his face, "I... I also had a flying sword back then, but I sold it later because I was short of money."
Jiang Yuebai pursed her lips, "This paper crane is very good and stable. Grandpa, can you fly higher? The scenery above must be better."
Tao Fengnian coughed twice again, "Limited by the sect's rules, outer disciples cannot fly higher than the height of the main peak, Tiangang Peak, and Grandpa's paper crane... is a bit old, so it may... not be able to fly up."
Jiang Yuebai's face fell, "Okay, grandpa, be careful and don't hit the tree."
Tao Fengnian glanced at Jiang Yuebai from the corner of his eye, "You work hard, and when you pass the exam as a spiritual cultivator, grandpa will personally refine a flying sword for you."
Jiang Yuebai raised his head and his frustration disappeared, "Okay, grandpa, you are not allowed to lie to others."
Tao Fengnian chuckled and said, "When did Grandpa lie to you? Tianman Peak is coming soon. In addition to reporting your cultivation today, you also have to go to the library to choose a technique."
"You also need to get familiar with the Lecture Hall and the Internal Affairs Hall. In the future, you can choose the classes you are interested in and attend. When you have time, you can receive tasks and earn contribution points. You have a lot of work today."
The paper crane suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the majestic Tianman Peak.
The road ahead is unknown, and Jiang Yuebai feels anxious...
