The moon sets and the stars sink, the sky is about to brighten.
The red sun suddenly bloomed from the east, and the dark sky suddenly became bright.
[You draw Qi into your body. After a night of perseverance, your spiritual energy overflows and blessings come to your heart. Your Qi-drawing technique breaks through the limit.]
[Congratulations, your cultivation realm has entered the first level of Qi training! ]
When I opened the wooden window, the whole mountain was filled with blazing red light.
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath of the morning mist. Ah, it stinks!
She looked down at herself. She was covered in dirt and smelled bad, but her body was light and nimble, she was full of energy, and her mind was clear and her five senses were sharp.
Jiang Yue smiled foolishly, his dark eyes shining like the sun.
I fetched water for washing. The morning well water did not feel cold at all. I used to be out of breath after lifting half a bucket of water with both hands, but today I could carry a full bucket with one hand with ease.
After washing up, Jiang Yuebai was about to knock on the door of the north room to share her joy with Tao Fengnian, but she saw him coming back from outside the yard, covered in mud and looking tired.
"Grandpa, have you been away all night?"
Tao Fengnian followed Jiang Yuebai's gaze and looked at himself. He gave a bitter smile and used the Dust Purification Technique to sweep over himself, making him look brand new.
"You must be hungry. I'll cook right away."
"I'm not hungry, Grandpa, please take a rest."
Jiang Yuebai quickly took the hoe and hat from Tao Fengnian's hand, pulled him to sit at the stone table, and lit his pipe diligently.
"Grandpa, look, I made a breakthrough."
Before he could even spit out a puff of smoke, Tao Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what Jiang Yuebai had said, and his pupils trembled.
The pipe fell to the ground, Tao Fengnian jumped up from the stone bench and stared at Jiang Yuebai for a long while.
His face was flushed and his aura was overwhelming.
"One day and two nights, and... a breakthrough?!"
How many more surprises and shocks will this little girl give him? With the Dao rhyme added to her body yesterday, could it be that she really has five spiritual roots with a root value of nine? Even if not, it's probably not much different.
People all say that the five spiritual roots are poor, but they overlook one point, that is, the spiritual affinity of the five spiritual roots with extremely high root values is several times higher than that of a single spiritual root. It takes more time, but as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to make up the gap.
What's more, the five spiritual roots also have the advantages of large amount of spiritual energy, complete attributes, and strong endurance. However, throughout history, there has been almost no one whose five spiritual roots have root values above seven, which makes the five spiritual roots fall behind.
In addition to the founder, Tianyan Sect also produced a person with all eight spiritual roots more than three hundred years ago. He was also very famous at that time. Unfortunately, God was jealous of his talent and he was seriously injured and disabled, so he could only wait for death.
In Tao Fengnian's opinion, the five spiritual roots are only missing in the early stages of cultivation. Once the golden elixir is formed and one begins to comprehend the rules of the operation of the heavenly way, cultivators with all five elements will find it easier to improve their cultivation than those with incomplete attributes.
This is also the reason why Lu Xingyun, the founder of Tianyan Sect, was unknown before he formed the elixir, but soared into the sky after forming the elixir.
Jiang Yuebai smiled brightly, "Grandpa, you take a rest first. I will go tell Manager Hong now that I am no worse than those outer disciples!"
Jiang Yuebai was so excited that he turned around and ran away.
"stop!"
Bang!
A strong wind brushed past his face, slamming the gate shut. Jiang Yuebai stopped in front of the door, looking back in confusion.
Tao Fengnian's face was as gloomy as water, but the excitement in his eyes had not faded.
"Before the end of the month, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are not allowed to tell anyone about your breakthrough!"
"Why!" Jiang Yuebai stared.
Tao Fengnian pondered for a moment. With such talent, even he had some evil thoughts in his heart.
"Yesterday you said that you had obtained a golden melon seed, but you failed to keep it and nearly lost your life. Now, your breakthrough in two days and nights is just like that golden melon seed, and it will cost you your life."
Jiang Yuebai's eyes flashed. She was smart and understood what Tao Fengnian meant, but she was holding her breath in her heart.
She would never forget what happened in front of the mountain gate. Wasn't it because she was so poorly qualified that they felt at ease to snatch her token
She just wanted to let them know that she was not bad!
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were red, filled with resentment and grievance, and Tao Fengnian sighed softly.
"The sun and moon in the sky or the dust on the ground, which one do you want to be?"
"I know you're not convinced and you want to prove yourself, but if you tell everyone right now, you'll just be gaining success from those who are not as good as you. This is meaningless and will only stop you from moving forward."
"It's amazing to achieve enlightenment in one day and two nights, but you know that some people achieve enlightenment in one night, some build their foundation in a hundred days, and some mortals defy fate and ascend to heaven in broad daylight. In this world, there are countless outstanding people. What does your achievement count for?"
A basin of cold water was poured over him, and Jiang Yuebai's joy of breakthrough disappeared by a large margin. He clenched and unclenched his fists, still feeling unwilling.
“When you fly with cranes, all you see are the sun, the moon, and the mountains; when you hang out with flies and insects, all you see is dust, mud, and filth. You should aim for the heights, not show off to those behind you.”
“But I just want to prove myself.”
"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. There are some things that you cannot understand due to your limited experience. If you believe me, just be patient for the next half month. After half a month, you will understand."
"Put this talisman on your body, it can temporarily conceal the aura around you."
Tao Fengnian said no more. He left a yellow talisman on the stone table, picked up his pipe, hunched his back, and went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook, feeling exhausted.
Jiang Yuebai was unhappy. She couldn't understand why she was guilty of this since her abilities were her own
Could it be possible that someone could take her body away
She was depressed for three days and didn't go out of the house.
It was not until Tao Fengnian told her that twenty menial boys of the same period as her were assigned to Huaxi Valley that she put down the acupuncture and meridian map and went out.
Following Tao Fengnian to the fields, Jiang Yuebai saw from afar several elderly men and women giving instructions to several children beside the rice fields.
He looks familiar, and it is true that he joined the industry together with her.
"Eighty-one? It's really you!"
Jiang Yuebai turned around when she heard the voice and saw a girl who was slightly older than her and a boy walking towards her.
The girl looked smart, and as soon as she came over, she said familiarly, "We all thought you had entered the outer sect, but we didn't expect to see you here. Could it be that you are here to be a spiritual farming apprentice as well?"
The boy looked very honest. He just nodded and smiled without saying anything.
Jiang Yuebai asked in confusion, "Why do you call me number eighty-one? Is it because... the Immortal Stage?"
The girl nodded, "Yes, you are famous now. Everyone watched what happened before you ascended to the Immortal Stage. With the worst five spiritual roots, you managed to reach the 81st stage. You gave that Jiao lady a slap in the face. We all feel happy."
Jiang Yuebai frowned, "My name is Jiang Yuebai."
"My name is Lu Ying, his name is Shi Xiaowu, and I am now an apprentice to Senior Sister Song Pei'er. I heard that the people with the highest cultivation in Huaxi Valley are Tao Fengnian and Song Pei'er, both of whom have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training. However, Senior Sister Song did not pass the exam to become a spiritual cultivator, so she is not as good as Master Tao. By the way, whose apprentice are you?"
Jiang Yuebai turned his head slightly and looked at Tao Fengnian who was working in the spiritual field.
Lu Ying was surprised. "You became Master Tao's apprentice? I heard that he has been teaching for nearly 40 years and has never had an apprentice. His family is rich. You are so lucky."
Shi Xiaowu nodded sullenly, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Jiang Yuebai entered Huaxi Valley as soon as he entered. Unlike Lu Ying and Shi Xiaowu who had received introductory science training, he did not understand many things.
Lu Ying looked Jiang Yuebai up and down with envy and jealousy, "How's your progress in drawing the Qi into your body? I already felt the spiritual energy last night."
Jiang Yuebai pressed the yellow talisman hidden in his lapel with a gloomy expression and shook his head.
Shi Xiaowu scratched his head in annoyance, "I haven't felt the spiritual energy yet, and I fell asleep as soon as I started meditating."
Lu Ying raised her eyebrows. "My four spiritual roots are naturally easier than your five spiritual roots. There is still more than half a month left, so you don't have to worry. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me. We are all from the same sect, and I will definitely help you."
Shi Xiaowu said, "How can I not be anxious? I heard that of the three people who entered the inner sect, Lu Nanzhi entered the Dao in one night, Xie Jingshan in one day, and Shen Huaixi in one day and one night. But the most powerful one is not these three, but a person from the outer sect with three spiritual roots. He entered the Dao in three days, which is more powerful than many people with single or double spiritual roots."
Jiang Yuebai opened his eyes in surprise. Manager Hong said that Xie Jingshan would be slower than Shen Huaixi because of his high root value, but he ran ahead of Shen Huaixi.
That means he is talented and hardworking. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai felt a lot less angry.
People with better qualifications don't slack off, so why should she be dissatisfied with her own little ability
"The three spiritual roots you are talking about are Xu Hu, the son of the hunter, right?" Lu Ying asked.
Shi Xiaowu nodded, and Jiang Yuebai's attention was drawn back.
Lu Ying suddenly looked around mysteriously, approached the two and whispered, "You may not know yet, Xu Hu has been very proud these days. Last night, he was provoked by his roommate. He didn't even understand the technique, but he was eager to practice on his own. As a result, he accidentally got a stitch in the side and his dantian exploded and he died."
Buzz!
Jiang Yuebai's mind was shaken, and the world suddenly spun around.
