"I have been in Huaxi Valley for thirty-nine years. I have never seen any big storms or waves, and have I ever done anything that would not save me? If you trust me, let my little girl give it a try. If she really can't do it, I will do it myself. Help you get through this.”
Song Pei'er came over and patted Guo Zhen on the shoulder. Speaking of this, Guo Zhen reluctantly tilted his head in acquiescence, but his eyes were the same as everyone else's, still unable to believe that Jiang Yuebai could get rid of insects.
Song Pei'er looked deeply at Jiang Yuebai, still in disbelief, but she was curious about Tao Fengnian's confidence in insisting on letting Jiang Yuebai give it a try.
Tao Fengnian nodded and looked at Jiang Yuebai. Without speaking, Jiang Yuebai shook his head like a rattle.
Tao Fengnian squatted down and looked at Jiang Yuebai, and said patiently, "Girl, grandpa knows that you are angry, and he is also worried about his health, but you have to know that there is no grudge in the face of a catastrophe."
Jiang Yuebai puffed up his face, his anger still lingering, his eyes deepening.
I recall that my aunt who was on the run and fighting with her mother every now and then, when they were about to starve to death, once gave them half a sweet potato that they couldn't even eat at home.
My mother was crying while stuffing sweet potatoes into her and her brother's mouths. Without that mouthful of sweet potatoes, she might not have been able to survive that night.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai's cheeks deflated.
"Okay, I'll try."
Tao Fengnian happily brushed off the falling snow on Jiang Yuebai's body, "Just try your best. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. Grandpa is still here."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, rubbed his hands in exasperation, and squatted beside the frozen seedlings, preparing to use the sharp edge technique to eliminate insects.
"She has been in the valley for less than two months, and she can master the second-level edge technique? I don't believe it."
"I have been in the valley for more than a year, and the Yunyu Jue has just reached the second level. It is still the simplest of the five spells."
"That's right, I learned the Grass and Wood Technique for almost two years before I reached the second floor door. The Edge Technique is even more difficult than the Grass and Wood Technique."
"Lu Ying hasn't learned a single spell until now. She only broke through to the first level of Qi training half a month ago. Could it be possible that she started learning the Edge Technique in her mother's womb?"
"If she knows the second-level sharp edge technique, I will eat all these ice beetles!"
Facing the questioning voices around him, Jiang Yuebai pursed his lips and frowned, unable to hear, unable to hear, what was the main point of what grandpa just said?
Snow was falling heavily, and people in Huaxi Valley, three levels inside and three outside, gathered around the spiritual field.
The apprentices Lu Ying and Shi Xiaowu were small in stature. They squeezed through the gap in the crowd and looked at Jiang Yuebai who was squatting next to the seedling.
Even Liu Dashan, who was removing insects not far away, stopped and looked over with Fang Zhong.
Fang Zhong was in his sixties, and he had learned the Sharpness Technique for three years before reaching the second level.
Liu Dashan was younger and duller. He relied on his tenacity to practice continuously, and after many years, it took him five years to reach the second level.
In the past, when there was an insect infestation in Huaxi Valley, everyone hired the two of them and three other insect exterminators with sharp skills. Tao Fengnian was rarely hired.
The second-level sharp edge method is used to eliminate insects. One low-grade spiritual stone per acre of land will cause slight damage to the seedlings and only needs to be raised for a few days.
The third-level sharp edge method eliminates insects, although it does not harm the seedlings at all, but that is a different price.
The cold wind howled, Jiang Yuebai moved his stiff fingers, and after reviewing the key points, his eyes were fixed!
The small white hands were clasped in front of the body, the fingers were stirring, and the eyes were dazzled. The golden light suddenly appeared, like a dream.
There was silence for a moment, and everyone opened their eyes in shock, attracted by Jiang Yuebai's skillful fingering.
Song Pei'er loosened her tightly held arms and stood up straight. Guo Zhen's mouth opened slightly, dumbfounded.
Not far away, Fang Zhong and Liu Dashan's expressions changed dramatically, and they squeezed in in a panic.
Hair-like golden threads intertwined between Jiang Yuebai's ten fingers, leading one area at a time, forming a secret in three breaths!
"It is true that the second-level sharpness technique is faster than the speed at which I can complete the technique!" Liu Dashan shouted in shock from the side.
"It's also stronger than my sharp edge." Fang Zhong swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice.
In the stormy sky, the golden light was dazzling, making everyone unable to take their eyes away, and making all the young apprentices her age blush with envy and jealousy.
"Senior Sister Jiang is so awesome!" Shi Xiaowu praised excitedly.
"Liar!" Lu Ying became even more angry.
Jiang Yuebai was fully focused, and his maturity and stability were beyond the reach of other apprentices.
Geng Jin's sharp edge was ready, Jiang Yuebai pressed down with his fingers, and his fingertips touched the seedling covered by the ice shell.
Her consciousness was instantly pulled into a world of misty blue. Before she could examine it carefully, the bone-chilling breath stabbed directly into her brain.
The green air is like smoke, dissipating on both sides.
She 'saw' a huge ice-blue ladybug as big as a water tank entrenched in front of her, its mandibles opening and closing, constantly devouring the green air around it.
Ice beetle!
Seeing such a huge insect for the first time, Jiang Yuebai's heart trembled, and his sharp edge almost disappeared.
She calmed her mind and found that the originally slender edge had now become much larger, like a long sword hanging high.
As soon as she thought about it, Gengjin's sharp edge immediately hit the ice beetle.
Ding!
The sharp edge was blown away by the hard shell of the ice beetle, and his consciousness was knocked out of the Qingmeng world. Jiang Yuebai sat down on the ground, his head hurting.
She failed!
There was silence all around, and no one expected this turn of events. She had obviously successfully used the second-level edge technique.
The experienced Fang Zhong was the first to react, "The second-level sharp edge technique is correct, but she has only practiced the third level of Qi and has not yet cultivated her spiritual consciousness. She cannot stabilize the sharp edge to split the ice beetle."
Liu Dashan nodded, "That's right, I almost forgot about this. The sharp edge technique to eliminate insects requires spiritual consciousness to stabilize the sharp edge. The cultivation of spiritual consciousness officially begins at the fourth level of Qi training, and the power can be shown only at the seventh level of Qi training. She will follow this now It’s like a three-year-old child holding a magic weapon, and the second-level sharp edge technique can’t exert much power.”
Everyone suddenly realized that Guo Zhen's face was as dark as water. Under the signal from Song Pei'er's eyes, he swallowed his dissatisfaction.
"The insect infestation is so serious. It's okay if Tao Fengnian doesn't want to help. He's wasting everyone's time by relying on his status as a spiritual cultivator. It's simply too much."
"That's enough! Stop saying a few words!" Song Peier looked around angrily.
Not to mention anything else, Jiang Yuebai was able to practice the Sharpness Technique to the second level in such a short period of time. This achievement destined her to be much more likely to be admitted as a spiritual cultivator than others.
Thinking of this, Song Pei'er's eyes brightened slightly.
Jiang Yuebai's face turned red with embarrassment, she clenched her fists and bit her lips, her eyes filled with stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.
"Get up and try again."
Tao Fengnian endured the pressure, but there was no blame in his eyes, and he was still full of encouragement.
Jiang Yuebai took a breath and got up, wanting to win or lose, lowering his eyes to think.
Tao Fengnian had given her the method of controlling things long ago, and she also knew that before the middle stage of Qi training, spiritual consciousness could only be called consciousness without training.
In the middle stage of Qi training, after undergoing the exercise of moving Qi and transporting spiritual energy, the consciousness will slowly combine with the spiritual energy and then transform into spiritual consciousness.
In this way, objects can be picked up and moved through the air. When the consciousness is strong enough, in the later stage of Qi training, one can open up the sea of consciousness, control magical weapons, and prepare for foundation building.
But there is no rule that says that if you practice Qi at the third level, you cannot develop your spiritual consciousness and open up the sea of consciousness!
Jiang Yuebai's head was covered with white snow, and she closed her eyes and recalled the scene just now.
Under the tension, her palms were hot and sweaty. She wiped her hands on her waist, and her fingers touched the handle of the hatchet stuck across her lower back, and she had a flash of inspiration.
Activate the sharp edge technique again.
go!
Her consciousness entered the Qingmeng world, and the ice beetle as big as a water tank was still entrenched in front of her. There was a white mark on her ice-blue back, which she had left just now.
This time Jiang Yuebai didn't rush forward. The sharp sword gradually changed in her consciousness and turned into a short hatchet.
She is not good at divine awareness, but she is good at killing lantern monsters in Shilipo!
Jiang Yuebai maintained his sharp edge, increased his spiritual power output, and used his sharp edge to use the hatchet technique to kill the ice beetle's weakest gaps in its back armor and head.
If she doesn't have the spiritual consciousness to stabilize her edge, then she won't go head-to-head with the ice beetle.
She relied on the strength of the edge itself to find weak points and overcome them with her sword skills, which was nothing more than spending more spiritual energy and time.
Poof!
The sharp edge cut into the gap in the carapace, and the ice beetle shuddered but did not fight back, speeding up the speed of devouring the green energy.
Jiang Yuebai's heart was filled with joy. His wood-chopping knife skills were unparalleled, and his Geng-gold sharpness cut out numerous shadows of the knife.
boom!
With the last blow, the ice beetle's head was cut off by Jiang Yuebai's sharp hatchet.
[You used the woodcutter method with the sharp edge technique and successfully killed the ice beetle. You are also a talent. Your proficiency in the woodcutter method +1]
The ice beetle burst suddenly, green energy surged away, and Jiang Yuebai felt his head bulging.
[You accidentally hit and found a way to temper your spiritual consciousness]
Jiang Yuebai was shaken out of consciousness and heard the crisp sound of the ice shell breaking.
On the seedlings under your finger, the ice shell cracked and fell off inch by inch, and the young leaves that had melted slowly stretched out in the misty green air, blooming again.
She succeeded!
