"I have been in Huaxi Valley for thirty-nine years. I have seen all kinds of storms and waves. How could I not help someone in need? If you trust me, let my girl Bai give it a try. If she really can't do it, I will personally help you through this."
Song Peier came over and patted Guo Zhen on the shoulder. After saying this, Guo Zhen had no choice but to turn his head in agreement. However, his eyes were the same as everyone else's, and he still couldn't believe that Jiang Yuebai could get rid of insects.
Song Pei'er looked at Jiang Yuebai deeply, and she also couldn't believe it, but she was very curious about Tao Fengnian's confidence in insisting on letting Jiang Yuebai give it a try.
Tao Fengnian nodded and looked at Jiang Yuebai, but he didn't say anything. However, Jiang Yuebai shook his head like a rattle.
Tao Fengnian squatted down and looked Jiang Yuebai in the eye, and said patiently, "Girl, Grandpa knows that you are angry and worried about Grandpa's health, but you have to know that there is no grudge in the face of a disaster."
Jiang Yuebai puffed up his face, still angry, and his eyes grew darker.
Recalling the time when they were fleeing, my aunt, who quarreled with my mother every other day, shared with them half of the sweet potato that was not enough for her own family to eat when they were almost starving to death.
At that time, her mother stuffed sweet potatoes into her and her brother's mouths while crying. Without that sweet potato, she might not have survived the night.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai's cheeks deflated.
"Okay, I'll try."
Tao Fengnian brushed away the snow on Jiang Yuebai with relief, "Just try your best. It doesn't matter if you can't do it, you still have Grandpa."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, rubbed his hands with his breath, squatted beside the frozen seedlings, and prepared to use the Sharp Points Technique to kill the insects.
"She has been in the valley for less than two months, and she has already mastered the second level of the Sharp Edge Technique? I don't believe it."
"I have been in the valley for more than a year, and I have only just reached the second level of the Cloud and Rain Art. This is the simplest of the five spells."
"That's right. It took me almost two years to learn the Grass and Wood Skill before I could reach the second floor. The Sharp Edge Skill is even more difficult than the Grass and Wood Skill."
"Lv Ying hasn't learned a single spell yet. She just broke through the first level of Qi training half a month ago. Could it be that she started learning the Sharpness Technique in her mother's womb?"
"If she can master the second level of Sharp Edge Technique, I will eat all these ice beetles!"
Faced with the questioning voices around him, Jiang Yuebai pouted and frowned. I can't hear you, I can't hear you. What was the main point that grandpa just said
It was snowing heavily, and the people in Huaxi Valley gathered in three layers around the spiritual field.
Lu Ying and Shi Xiaowu, a few apprentices who were small in stature, squeezed through the gap in the crowd to the front, staring at Jiang Yuebai who was squatting next to the seedlings.
Even Liu Dashan, who was exterminating insects not far away, stopped and looked over with Fang Zhong.
Fang Zhong is over sixty years old and it took him three years to learn the Fengmang Jue before he reached the second level.
Liu Dashan was younger and a little dull, but he relied on his tenacity to practice continuously. After years and months, he finally reached the second level in five years.
In the past, when Huaxi Valley was infested with insects, everyone would hire the two of them and three other people who knew the Fengmang Jue to do the pest control, and rarely asked Tao Fengnian to be hired.
The second-level sharp technique is used to eliminate insects. One low-grade spirit stone is needed for one acre of land. The seedlings will suffer slight damage and will only need to be nurtured for a few days.
The third-level Sharp Edge Technique can kill insects without harming the seedlings, but it has a different price.
The cold wind was howling, Jiang Yuebai moved his stiff fingers, reviewed the key points, and his eyes were determined!
The white little hands were clasped in front of the body, the ten fingers were stirring, dazzling, golden light suddenly appeared, like a dream.
There was silence all around for a moment, and everyone opened their eyes wide in shock, attracted by Jiang Yuebai's skillful fingering.
Song Pei'er loosened her arms and stood up straight. Guo Zhen opened his mouth slightly, dumbfounded.
Fang Zhong and Liu Dashan, who were not far away, looked drastically changed and squeezed in in panic.
The hair-like golden threads intertwined and entangled between Jiang Yuebai's ten fingers. With one pull and one pull, the secret was completed in three breaths!
"It really is the second level of the Sharp Edge Technique. It's even faster than how I mastered it!" Liu Dashan exclaimed in shock.
"It's also more powerful than mine." Fang Zhong said in a deep voice, swallowing his saliva.
In the midst of the snow and wind, the bright golden light was so dazzling that no one could take their eyes away, and all the apprentices of her age were envious and jealous.
"Senior Sister Jiang is so amazing!" Shi Xiaowu praised excitedly.
"Liar!" Lu Ying became more and more angry.
Jiang Yuebai was fully focused, and his maturity and steadiness were beyond the reach of other apprentices.
As Geng Jin's edge became sharp, Jiang Yuebai pressed down with his fingers together, and his fingertips touched the seedlings covered by the ice shell.
The ice shell on the seedlings shattered, and Jiang Yuebai saw large, rice-grain-sized, ice-blue beetles that looked like ladybugs crawling all over the leaves and rhizomes of the seedlings, opening and closing their sharp sickle-like mouthparts and gnawing at the seedlings.
Ice beetle!
It was the first time Jiang Yuebai saw so many insects gathering together. Her scalp went numb and her sharpness almost disappeared. She had been working in her own fields since she was a child and was afraid of insects.
But grandpa was watching right next to her, and Jiang Yuebai didn't want to disappoint him, so she calmed her mind and used the sharp edge of her sword, as thin as a needle, to chop at the ice beetles.
bite!
The sharp edge was shaken away by the hard shell of the ice beetle, Jiang Yuebai felt a pain in his head and sat down on the ground.
She failed!
There was silence all around, and no one expected this sudden change. She had clearly successfully performed the second level of the Sharpness Technique.
The experienced Fang Zhong was the first to react, "The second-level sharp edge technique is correct, but she is only at the third level of Qi training and has not yet cultivated her spiritual consciousness, so she cannot stabilize the sharp edge to split those ice beetles."
Liu Dashan nodded, "Yes, I almost forgot about this. The Edge Technique requires the mind to stabilize the edge to kill insects. The cultivation of the mind only officially begins at the fourth level of Qi training, and it can only be effective at the seventh level of Qi training. She is now like a three-year-old child holding a magic weapon, and the second level of the Edge Technique can't exert much power."
Everyone suddenly realized what had happened. Guo Zhen's face was as gloomy as water. Following Song Pei'er's eye signal, he swallowed his dissatisfaction.
Apart from anything else, Jiang Yuebai was able to practice the Sharp Edge Technique to the second level in such a short period of time. This achievement meant that her chances of passing the examination to become a spiritual farmer were much greater than others.
Thinking of this, Song Pei'er's eyes lit up slightly.
Jiang Yuebai's face flushed with shame, she clenched her fists and bit her lips, her eyes full of stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.
"Get up and try again."
Tao Fengnian was under pressure, but there was no blame in his eyes, and they were still full of encouragement.
Jiang Yuebai took a breath and got up. His desire to win got to his head, and he lowered his eyes to think.
Tao Fengnian had already taught her the method of controlling objects, and she also knew that before the middle stage of Qi training, spiritual awareness could only be called consciousness without training.
In the middle stage of Qi training, consciousness will slowly combine with spiritual energy through the training of moving Qi and transporting spiritual energy, and then it will transform into spiritual consciousness.
Only in this way can you pick up and move objects through the air. When your spiritual consciousness is strong enough, you can open up your sea of consciousness in the later stage of Qi training, control magical instruments, and prepare for building the foundation.
But there is no rule that says that after practicing Qi at the third level, you cannot cultivate spiritual awareness and open up the sea of consciousness!
Jiang Yuebai's head was covered with white snow. He closed his eyes and recalled the scene just now.
She was so nervous that her palms were sweaty. She wiped her hands on her waist and her fingers touched the handle of the hatchet inserted horizontally at her waist. An idea flashed in her mind.
Activate the sharp edge technique again.
go!
This time Jiang Yuebai did not rush forward recklessly. She summed up her experience of failure and suddenly had an idea: since she could control the hatchet with the method of controlling objects, could she also control the blade
Just like killing the lantern monster at Shilipo? Find the weak point and kill it with one strike!
She is not good at spiritual awareness, but she is very good at killing the lantern monster in Shili Po!
Jiang Yuebai maintained his sharp edge, increased his spiritual power output, and tried to use his sharp edge to chop at the ice beetle's head.
Their carapaces are hard, but their necks can’t be that hard, right
Phew!
After changing the strategy, the sharp edge cut into the ice beetle's neck, and with a light move, most of the ice beetle's neck was cut off.
Jiang Yuebai was delighted, and his wood-chopping skills were unparalleled, with the sharp edge of Gengjin cutting out numerous shadows of the knife.
Phew!
With the last blow, the ice beetle's head was completely cut off by Jiang Yuebai's sharp edge!
[You used the sharp edge technique to perform the wood-chopping knife technique and successfully killed the ice beetle. You are also a talent. The wood-chopping knife technique proficiency +1]
Jiang Yuebai continuously activated the sharp edge technique and chopped the ice beetles' heads with the axe technique, causing the ice beetles on the seedlings to fall off in large numbers.
The green vitality belonging to the seedlings in the ice beetle's corpse slowly emanated. Some of it was absorbed by the seedlings, and some was absorbed into her body as she pinched her fingers to attract wood spiritual energy.
Jiang Yuebai was fully focused and the more she chopped, the more excited she became. The more she chopped, the more she felt an invisible force rushing into her head, causing her temples to swell and ache.
Buzz!
Jiang Yuebai suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, interrupting her insect-killing routine.
[Congratulations, you have accidentally discovered a method to refine your spiritual consciousness]
