Xu Chunniang was so excited to see the prey that she couldn't help but dance with it.
I saw a sharp edge coming first, and the fire spear shot out like a dragon, being danced with great force.
From time to time, flames would burst out from the gun tip, catching the attacker by surprise.
Xu Chunniang put away the gun and thanked Senior Sister Gan.
"What are you thanking me for? I'm just doing my job for money. At least you can't ruin your reputation, otherwise it will be hard for you to survive in Qifeng in the future."
Senior Sister Gan said disapprovingly, "Okay, now that I've given you everything, I'm going to go back. I've been refining equipment every day recently, so I need to go back and rest for a few days."
After Xu Chunniang bid farewell to Senior Sister Gan and returned to the cave with three new spiritual weapons, she couldn't wait to take out the blue-patterned tripod and the small round shield.
Her sight first fell on the small round shield, which was a second-level top-grade spiritual weapon.
The small round shield was completely renewed, and the worn-out parts were repaired. There was no trace of its previous shabby appearance.
Previously, when she handed the small round shield to Senior Sister Gan, she didn't hold out much hope when Senior Sister Gan said that it would be difficult to restore it to the second-level top grade.
I didn't expect that Senior Sister Gan was so capable that she managed to upgrade its grade to the upper level of the second grade, which is not far from the best grade.
After admiring it for a long time, Xu Chunniang turned her gaze to the blue-patterned tripod.
The Green-Patterned Cauldron at this time was smaller in size than before.
But its weight has not decreased but increased, becoming several times heavier.
Originally, after Xu Chunniang melted the one-yuan heavy water into her blood, she could easily lift the Green Patterned Cauldron with one hand.
Although she could still lift the tripod with one hand at this time, she was no longer as easy as before.
Among these three second-level spiritual weapons, except for the small round shield which has twenty-one layers of formations, the other two only have eighteen layers of formations and need to be refined.
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment and did not rush to refine them. Instead, she put them away and took out several formation jade slips that she had obtained from her master Yue Yanru.
Perhaps, after learning the formation, it would be more efficient to refine the formation within the spiritual weapon.
The several jade slips that Yue Yanru gave were carefully selected from the thousands of jade slips in the Formation Pavilion, and she made detailed annotations on them.
Especially the jade slip "An Initial Explanation of Formations", which breaks down the knowledge of formations bit by bit, making it easy to understand and allowing people to integrate the knowledge learned.
The first book Xu Chunniang read was "An Initial Explanation of the Formation".
After reading the jade slip several times, she felt restless for a long time. She was immersed in the mysteries of the formation and couldn't stop.
“The great way is simple, and it is also the ultimate truth.
The formation may seem complicated and intricate, but in fact, it is all based on the same principles. As long as you follow its rules and unravel it, no matter how difficult the formation is, you will eventually be able to break it. "
Xu Chunniang seemed to have gained something. She carefully put away the "First Explanation of the Formation" in her hand, took out another jade slip, and studied it diligently...
As she worked day and night, three years passed in a flash.
That day, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes while meditating and discovered that her cultivation had advanced further, reaching the late stage of the second level of foundation building. She was only a step away from the third level of foundation building, and nodded with satisfaction.
During these three years, she spent most of her time learning formations, and only spent two hours a day on cultivation.
The fact that she was able to make some progress in just a few years might be due to the improvement of her aptitude.
Xu Chunniang thought calmly in her heart, pushed open the door of the training room and walked out, and at a glance she saw Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi who were also practicing hard.
She is not the only one who has made progress in the past few years.
After three years of hard training, Xiaobai advanced from the seventh level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training.
Xu Chunniang couldn't help but marvel at Xiaobai's amazing talent. At the same time, she realized that Xiaobai had never taken cultivation seriously before.
I don’t know what happened to make Xiaobai change his lazy nature and become so hardworking.
Maybe it’s because of the company of Little Orange.
Xu Chunniang looked at Xiaojuzi with some relief. When she first let it live in the same room with Xiaobai, it lay on the stone table every day and hardly ever practiced.
But I don’t know when it started, but Little Orange also began to practice hard.
Moreover, in just three years, he broke through the second level of foundation building and reached the third level of foundation building, which was even higher than her cultivation level.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and said, "This competition between the five major sects is very important. According to the regulations, spirit beasts can also participate in the battle. You two should come with me."
A hint of interest appeared in Little Orange's eyes, and he woofed to show his agreement.
Staying in this stone cave every day, doing nothing but practicing, it has long been suffocated.
Being able to go out for a walk is just what it wants.
Xiaobai was not very interested in going out, but after receiving Xiaojuzi's threatening look, it squeaked twice to indicate that it wanted to go with them.
Xu Chunniang did not notice the interaction between Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi. Seeing that they both agreed, she invited them into the spirit beast bag and headed towards the main peak.
At this time, in the Xiaoyao Hall of the main peak, in addition to the sect master Lu Yuanming, the deputy sect master Yue Lingzheng, and the masters of each peak, there were also many experienced Jindan elders gathered.
As for the upcoming competition among the five major sects, which is held every thirty years, they all looked solemn and frowned, and the atmosphere in the hall was heavy.
After a long time, someone finally broke the dull atmosphere.
"In the last five-sect competition, we sent out ten elite disciples to fight ten battles with the disciples of the other four major sects, but we only won three. In the subsequent assessments, we always lagged behind others."
Everyone was silent. In the last competition, Xiaoyao Sect only got fourth place, only better than Miaodan Sect which was famous for its elixirs.
In terms of comprehensive strength, the Wanjian Sect is the strongest among the five major sects, followed by the Hanshan Sect.
Next are the Wuliang Sect, Xiaoyao Sect and Miaodan Sect. The strength of these three sects is almost the same.
One elder thought of the last competition and was a little indignant, "My disciples are not necessarily worse than Wuliang Sect's. They just have less luck."
"If you lose, you lose. Luck is part of the practice."
Lu Yuanming shook his head slightly. "Last time we lost and lost the mining rights to three spiritual mines. This time we must strive for a better ranking. Otherwise, in the long run, it will seriously hinder the development of the sect. Ling Zheng, you will lead the team this time."
Yue Lingzheng's expression became serious, "Yes, Master Brother. The disciples participating in the Five Sects Competition this time are all my Xiaoyao Tianjiao, and they will definitely achieve good results."
Lu Yuanming was not so optimistic.
It is true that Xiaoyao Sect has sent out the most promising and powerful disciples, but there are always people better than you. The other four major sects will also send out their strongest disciples, and they should not be underestimated.
I just hope that this time, everything goes well.
It was finally decided that Yue Lingzheng and another experienced elder, Wu, would be responsible for leading ten Foundation Establishment disciples to go to Miaodan Sect to participate in this competition.
When the two of them left Xiaoyao Palace, they saw ten Foundation Establishment disciples already waiting outside the palace.
In addition to Xu Chunniang, Huangfu Tian from Danfeng was also among them.
