If Jiang Yuebai had not seen Zhao Fuyi waving her hands to shake the sky before yesterday, she might have agreed today, as long as Mo Baichun was willing to bring his grandfather along.
She now has a firm goal and someone she wants to pursue, so she will not be indecisive or waver in her determination.
The person she wants to worship is Master Fuyi, and what she wants to learn is the Heaven-shaking Formation!
The wooden strip in Mo Baichun's hand was filed off, and he looked at Jiang Yuebai in surprise.
"Girl, this is a rare opportunity, you must think it through carefully." Tao Fengnian said anxiously.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were firm as he said to Mo Baichun, "Thank you for your interest, Master. But I already have my own path that I want to pursue. I can only apologize to you, Master."
Tao Fengnian looked nervous, fearing that Jiang Yuebai would anger Mo Baichun, but unexpectedly Mo Baichun's eyes showed undisguised admiration.
"You are so young but your heart is still strong. You are truly a gem in the rough. If you say you can't bear to leave your family or refuse me for some other reason, I will definitely tie you up and take you away. Since you don't want to be my disciple, just go away quickly and don't make me sad."
Jiang Yuebai bowed and took Tao Fengnian away.
Mo Baichun changed a piece of wood and continued to file, waiting for the right person to come.
In front of the bookstore.
"Girl, you really don't regret it?" Tao Fengnian felt heartbroken for Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai had a calm expression and looked into the bookstore curiously.
"Why should I regret it? I don't like being her apprentice. My grandfather and my father have been filing wood all their lives. When I was a child, I could find sawdust in the steamed bread I ate. I don't want to continue filing wood like them."
"Just because of this?" Tao Fengnian was shocked. Is a child's mind so simple
Jiang Yuebai chuckled, "The most important thing is that I want to stay with grandpa forever. Apart from my family, there is no one in this world who treats me better than grandpa."
Tao Fengnian's nose was sore and he almost cried, "You girl, you are sweet-mouthed but have a sharp tongue!"
"I am honey in my mouth and candied fruit in my stomach, the candied fruit of candied fruit."
Tao Fengnian took a breath and said, "Let's not talk about the past. Wherever you want to go next, grandpa will accompany you. Come back when you've had enough."
An old man and a young man traveled around the South Valley.
Go to the East Market to buy pens, go to the West Market to buy books, go to the South Market to buy yellow paper, and go to the North Market to buy seeds.
Jiang Yuebai hasn't been as happy as he is today for a long time since his family passed away. His stomach is full and his wallet is empty.
The storage bag was filled with useful and useless things. If there was a mine at home, he would have wanted to empty the entire market.
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is full of bright clouds.
"Run slower. You're eating. Be careful not to get stabbed by the candied haws sticks."
Tao Fengnian, with a cat-face mask on his head, holding a wooden box in one hand and a paper bag of candied fruit that Jiang Yuebai had not finished eating in the other, chased after her breathlessly.
Children have incredible energy.
"Grandpa, come quickly, there is a fight going on over here."
Jiang Yuebai lifted up the cat-face mask on his face, took a bite of the candied haws, threw the rabbit lantern behind his shoulder, and jumped up and down behind the crowd like a little monkey, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously because he couldn't see inside.
There were flashes of fire, loud explosions, and the crowd exclaimed from time to time.
"Ouch! Get down here!"
Tao Fengnian chased after him and pulled Jiang Yuebai down from the archway of the market town.
For the first time, he realized that this girl was a naughty girl at heart. She let out her true nature today and he really couldn't stand it.
"It's not like we'll never come again. Find a place to stay first. I'll let you play for half a day tomorrow, and we'll go back in the afternoon."
Qiyun Pavilion guest room.
As soon as Tao Fengnian entered the guest room, he fell asleep on one of the couches. After a while, he began to snore loudly.
After practicing for nearly forty years, he hasn't slept so soundly for a long time.
Jiang Yuebai covered Tao Fengnian with a quilt, then knelt on a chair and ate food from the table.
A year ago, she wouldn't have dared to dream of all this delicious food on the table. She would have been lucky to have half a black steamed bun every three days.
A green vine talisman pen used for drawing talismans cost fifty low-grade spirit stones, and three taels of talisman sand and two pieces of talisman paper cost ten low-grade spirit stones.
A copy of "Complete Explanation of Ninth-grade Talismans" cost twenty low-grade spirit stones. The sect's library also had this book, but she had no contribution points.
There are also five of each of the best-selling nine-grade five-element talismans for reference and study.
A ninth-grade talisman is worth one low-grade spirit stone, which means she needs to use these things to draw 105 ninth-grade talismans to make a profit.
After today's shopping, the spirit stones in her pocket were almost gone, with only five left.
If Tao Fengnian hadn't forbidden her to take the pills, she would have wanted to try the Qi-nourishing Pill, which was said to be able to speed up the practice and absorb more spiritual energy.
Tao Fengnian said it clearly, except for detoxification and treatment elixirs, all elixirs that assist in cultivation, unless they are of top quality, contain elixir poison. They can improve cultivation in a short period of time, but long-term use will cause blockage of the meridians.
The subsequent elimination of erysipelas consumes time, effort, and medicinal materials, and hinders practice.
If it is not necessary, then don't take the pills.
Tao Fengnian didn't buy anything except seeds. Jiang Yuebai irrigated Tao Fengnian's twenty acres of private land. He had to plant some spiritual plants that mature quickly before the next spring.
Jiang Yuebai suggested planting spiritual vegetables, which grow fast, are in great demand in restaurants, and sell for high prices.
Tao Fengnian thought spiritual vegetables were difficult to grow, so he bought some calamus seeds, filled the spiritual field with water and sowed the seeds, then left it alone. The seeds would grow wildly on their own and could be used as feed for spiritual beasts.
After tidying up, Jiang Yuebai ate and drank his fill, took out the newly bought "A Collection of Five Flavors" and lay on the couch to read.
"I entered the market town, but I didn't see anyone for a long time. It felt like a different world. I rested for half a month, but I was too fond of the comfort, so I left."
"I traveled a hundred miles westward, and encountered three evil cultivators on the road. They massacred the whole village and forged weapons. I fought hard all night, but they massacred everyone and I nearly died."
"He went deep into the barren mountains and encountered a pack of evil wolves. He fought and retreated, and was trapped in the cave for three months. He practiced constantly and finally got out and killed the wolf king."
"After thirteen years of cultivation, I have perfected my Qi training. I heard that before I established my foundation, I first ended my worldly ties. I returned to the Yun Kingdom and started my cultivation again. In my life, I have lived up to the emperor, the people, and my clan. I have only let down one person. When I examine my heart, I feel guilty, but I have no regrets."
"The great way is ruthless, I walk alone, my earthly ties are over, and my foundation is built!"
The words were short, but the intention of war was evident in them, which made Jiang Yuebai's heart agitated and unable to fall asleep.
I simply got up, opened the window, and admired the moon to calm myself down.
The moonlight was bright. A middle-aged woman was lying on a bamboo chair with her eyes closed and sleeping. Her face was pale and she looked sick. A burly man was sitting beside her, holding her fingers, and accompanying her silently.
"Brother Hong?"
Jiang Yuebai recognized the man and couldn't help but speak. Hong Tao turned around and their eyes met.
She wanted to close the window and avoid him, but Hong Tao waved at her.
Jiang Yuebai jumped down from the second-floor window, landed in the yard, and walked slowly to Hong Tao.
"Junior Sister Jiang, please help me look after Gu Wanniang for a while. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, and Hong Tao entered the room at the back of the courtyard.
The rooms in the yard were rented out to people who lived there long term, which showed that Hong Tao had been staying there for quite some time.
The woman on the bamboo chair had gentle features and eyebrows, and it could be seen that she was a gentle and beautiful person, but she had no spiritual power and was obviously a mortal.
Not long after, Hong Tao came out wearing a wedding dress, holding a phoenix crown in his hand.
Facing Jiang Yuebai's puzzled gaze, Hong Tao looked at the woman with a deep gaze.
"Wan Niang and I fell in love at first sight. We were supposed to spend our lives together in the mortal world. However, things are unpredictable. The dog official forced Wan Niang to be his concubine. I killed the dog official and was hunted down. I narrowly escaped death and got a chance to become an immortal. I thought that without me, Wan Niang would marry into a good family and live a happy life."
"If I hadn't needed to complete my Qi training this time and was worried about her, I wouldn't have known that she had been practicing in the nunnery with her hair uncut waiting for me to return. It's a pity that I returned too late. After twenty years of worrying, she has exhausted all her energy and is now terminally ill."
"I brought her here to recuperate and tried my best to heal her, but she didn't want to cut off my path to immortality and wanted to die. Tonight is her death. I was young and impulsive, and I have let her down my whole life. The only thing I can do for her now is to make her my wife."
