The incident in Yinfengjian spread throughout the Tianyan Sect within just a few days and became the biggest topic of conversation besides the year-end examination.
Others did not know the inside story, they only knew that because of this incident, Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan became famous.
According to the rules of Tianyan Sect, inner disciples cannot become disciples of Yuanying Zhenjun before the late stage of Qi training, just to gain more time to practice in the big dye vat.
This did not prevent Yuanying Zhenjun from designating disciples for him. After some open and secret struggles, Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan both became Guanghan Jianjun's designated disciples.
As soon as the two of them reached the late stage of Qi training, the ceremony of becoming apprentices would be held.
Jiang Yuebai had no time to pay attention to the turmoil in the inner sect. After listening to what Shi Xiaowu said to her, she was happy for Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan for a moment, secretly envious for a moment, and then continued to be busy in the spiritual field.
Guanghan Jianjun is the second strongest among the Nascent Soul Stage warriors. When she works hard to become the disciple of Zhenjun Fuyi, she will be really amazing.
The Tianyan Sect holds a small competition every five years and a large competition every ten years. As long as she can get first place in the next sect-wide competition, she can choose a Yuanying Zhenjun to be her disciple. That is her goal and opportunity.
My grandfather has been in poor health recently. He looks very bad around noon every day and has to close the door and rest for two hours.
It had been several days since Jiang Yuebai came back from Nangu Market, and the spiritual fields were still barren, so he took on all the work on the twenty acres of spiritual fields.
In the spiritual field, Jiang Yuebai turned over the last piece of land with the Zhenling hoe and went to the edge of the field to drink water.
She couldn't even turn over the twenty acres of land using only the Earth-shaking Technique.
Fortunately, there is the Zhenling Hoe, a magical tool that can replace the Zhendi Jue. It can evenly shake the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil while plowing and hoeing, ensuring that the seeds can fully absorb the spiritual energy and take root smoothly.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Zhenling Hoe that spiritual farmers seldom practice the Zhendi Jue. Even though the Zhendi Jue is more effective than the Zhenling Hoe and can also replenish spiritual soil and spiritual energy, few people waste time on it.
Jiang Yuebai had been busy for three days, and he always had to use the Zhenling Hoe when his spiritual energy was exhausted.
[Earth-shaking Technique (Level 2: 105/1000)]
At this moment, the Earth-shaking Art became the third magic art to break through the second level. Next, in order to sow calamus, it was necessary to inject water into the spiritual field to form a paddy field. There was hope for the second level of the Cloud and Rain Art.
Jiang Yuebai left an acre of land for himself to plant thorn seeds. After resting, he rolled up his trouser legs and stood in the center of the spiritual field to call for clouds and rain.
Under the old locust tree not far away, Shi Xiaowu was playing with a red string, glancing at Jiang Yuebai from time to time.
"What are you doing, little brat?"
As the shadow fell, Shi Xiaowu looked up and saw his master Guo Zhen.
He chuckled, "I'm learning how to cast spells from Senior Sister Jiang."
Guo Zhen looked towards the fields, which were covered with mist and rain, and the spiritual rain was as soft as silk.
"What is she doing? It doesn't take so many Cloud and Rain Skills to water a field, right? She has performed it more than 20 times, and she still doesn't want to stop?"
Shi Xiaowu flipped the red string and said in a muffled voice: "Senior Sister Jiang said she wanted to plant calamus. She probably wanted to use the Cloud and Rain Art to irrigate the spiritual field into a paddy field."
Guo Zhen's eyes and mouth twitched at the same time, "She's crazy, it's just to grow some food for the spirit beasts, it's enough to divert the stream water, wouldn't it take thousands of times to use the Cloud and Rain Art?"
Shi Xiaowu said nothing and Guo Zhen frowned.
"Well, when we plant rice in the spring, we can also use spiritual rain to irrigate the paddy fields."
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Master."
"I'm telling you to irrigate the paddy field. If you can't, I'll skin you alive."
"Ah?" Shi Xiaowu frowned, his face full of bitterness.
The red rope in his hand was taken away by Guo Zhen, and Shi Xiaowu began to practice the Cloud and Rain Technique with great difficulty.
After a few days, Shi Xiaowu discovered that every apprentice in Huaxi Valley was practicing the Yunyu Jue. They looked at each other and all had a look of grievance and wanted to cry but had no tears.
In early spring, the whole valley uses the Cloud and Rain Technique to irrigate the paddy fields. That scene must be grand!
A few days later, Shi Xiaowu discovered that Jiang Yuebai didn't even go home, but stayed in the fields. When his spiritual energy ran out, he went to the old locust tree and took out a spiritual stone. His brows were furrowed, and he didn't seem to be absorbing spiritual energy to recover.
After breaking a few spirit stones, Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth and rushed back to the spirit field as if he was ready to fight to the death, continuing to cast clouds and rain.
It took her ten whole days to irrigate 19 acres of paddy fields and sow calamus seeds.
As soon as the seeds fell into the water, they began to take root and sprout. In less than a day, they grew three-inch-high tender leaves. The leaves were emerald green and full of vitality, and their spiritual energy was even stronger than that of the elixirs in the valley.
Shi Xiaowu thought that was the end, but he found that Jiang Yuebai still did not go home. He sat in the one acre of spiritual field he left behind and planted thorn seeds.
Day after day, tirelessly.
It was late at night that day. Jiang Yuebai sat by the field, placing a low table and drawing talismans. She said she was taking a rest.
"Xiao Wu, it's already so dark, why don't you go back?"
"I want to go back too, but Senior Sister Jiang hasn't returned yet. If I go back too early, I'll get beaten."
"well… "
"Yeah, we don't dare go back too early. I'm so hungry. Is she a human being? How can she not even sleep or eat?"
"I've been forced to do this recently. My cultivation and magic have improved too quickly. It's so sad."
"roll!"
A few little kids were playing and fighting, and a few old people were sighing not far away.
"I have never seen anyone tending to a spiritual field so meticulously. Using the Earth-shaking Technique to turn the soil, the Red Flame Technique to breed, the Cloud and Rain Technique to irrigate, and the Herb Technique to nourish. Not to mention the spiritual grains, even ordinary spiritual herbs can grow two of them, and they will definitely grow well."
"This girl doesn't want us to live. Compared with the calamus she grows, I feel like even pigs won't eat what I grow."
"My little girl is tired and sick."
"Don't even mention your apprentice. I can't bear it. My fingers are cramping from practicing the spells."
"well… "
Fireflies flickered in the sky, and Tao Fengnian came over with a lantern. Everyone looked over with tears in their eyes.
When Tao Fengnian went to the fields and took a look, even though many people had reported it to him, it was still not as shocking as what he saw with his own eyes.
Just by looking at the dazzling spiritual light on the ground, Tao Fengnian almost thought that there were seventh or eighth grade spiritual medicines in the ground, rather than low-grade spiritual beast fodder.
And those thorn seeds usually ripen once a month, but they have all borne fruit in just a few days.
The shell is plump and full of spiritual energy. The thorn fruit inside must have broken through the ninth grade to the eighth grade, right
By the time it wraps around someone, even a ninth-grade magic weapon might not be able to cut it!
Why do there seem to be a few exotic thorn fruits? What did this girl do
Tao Fengnian's hands were shaking a little. He turned his head to look at the pairs of eyes around him. They all looked like thieves!
Tao Fengnian spoke only after Jiang Yuebai had withdrawn from his concentration on drawing the talisman.
"Why don't you just plant yourself in the spiritual field?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled happily, "Grandpa, I have learned how to make talismans. This is the ninth-grade fire bomb talisman I just drew. Also, my other four spells besides the Sharp Edge Technique are all at the second level. These past few days, I have been using the Herb Technique to nourish the thorn fruit, and the Herb Technique is only a little bit away from the third level."
"It's just that I've fallen behind in martial arts practice. I've been too busy and don't have time, but my cultivation and spiritual awareness have improved a lot, especially my spiritual awareness. I can now easily control a ninth-grade magic weapon, and I can activate the Ice Beetle King three times!"
She spent more than a month in the spiritual field, skipping even eating and sleeping. All these achievements were the result of her hard work.
Tao Feng is very happy in his old age. He feels that he can let go and take care of his retirement and leave everything to Jiang Yuebai. The future is promising.
"Okay, go home with Grandpa first. You may have forgotten that today is your seventh birthday. Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan sent you a paper crane. Go home and take a look."
"good!"
Jiang Yuebai stood up with a smile, and Tao Fengnian took out all the defensive flags and plates on his body to protect the twenty acres of spiritual fields tightly.
"Grandpa, you are exaggerating. It's just a calamus. Just give me the thorn fruit to protect it."
"Is that ordinary calamus you planted? It's grown very well, but you are not allowed to plant it next time. I will buy you some magical medicine seeds in a few days."
"Then let's grow Danyang ginseng. Eating it can replenish the body's energy and prolong life..."
"Danyang ginseng is too troublesome, just find something that is easy to take care of."
An old man and a young boy were walking home under a lamp. When they passed by the houses in the village, several children were gathered together, whispering.
"What a pretentious troublemaker! It's fine if he's just trying to be smart, but he causes us to get scolded every day."
"That's right. Who knows if she took some elixirs to practice? Why are you so proud? Sooner or later, you will fall!"
"You still want to pass the exam to become a spiritual cultivator in three years? This is really hilarious. Aren't you afraid of going insane from practicing..."
"Try saying it again, all of you!"
Lu Ying walked out of the darkness, eyes full of anger, staring at them.
"How has her hard work gotten in your way? You don't practice cultivation and you're still here cursing and saying bad things about her. Be careful or I'll tell Master Tao and make you suffer!"
Several people looked gloomy and left one after another.
"I'm warning you, if I hear you talking behind my back again, I won't let you go!"
Lu Ying watched them disappear into the night angrily, bit her lip and went to the grove behind the village alone.
She silently took out the repaired jade hairpin, looked at it, carefully put it away, and began to practice the spell over and over again, tirelessly...
