The bright moon startled a magpie on a branch, and the gentle breeze made cicadas sing in the middle of the night.
The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest, and the sound of frogs is heard.
Jiang Yuebai named her own house "Dragon Flower Courtyard". At this moment, she was sitting by the window in the quiet room in the backyard, drawing talismans facing the moon.
The talisman pen was hooked and lifted, and the bright light gathered together.
[You have successfully drawn a lower-level eighth-grade Shadow-Splitting Phantom Talisman, Talisman-making proficiency +10]
[Congratulations, your talisman-making realm has been raised to the eighth level. Your cultivation level is limited and you cannot continue to improve. Go and take drugs and practice, girl.]
I have been so busy over the past month that it was only today that I was able to advance my talisman-making skills to the eighth level and now am able to draw eighth- and ninth-level talismans.
The power of an eighth-grade talisman is close to that of the initial stage of foundation building. Currently, the success rate of the talisman is very low, and it takes most of the spiritual power to draw one.
Before building the foundation, one’s cultivation is not enough to draw stronger talismans, and one can only improve the grade and success rate of the eighth-grade talismans little by little.
Jiang Yuebai put down the talisman brush, put away the newly drawn Five Elements Escape Talisman and three eighth-grade talismans, cleaned up the discarded talisman papers on the table, and stood up to stretch his muscles.
Her clothes were half-open, and her black hair was loose behind her, not even tied up with a hairpin, free and unrestrained.
"I think I really don't have time to break the formation at Tiangang Peak. I originally planned to focus on the formation when I made the eighth-grade talisman, but now I have to focus on the pill for the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Pill."
Chirp~
A sparrow flew in from the window and landed on the pen holder. With a flash of inspiration, it lost its agility and turned into a wooden bird.
Jiang Yuebai picked up the wooden bird, opened it with a special method, and took out the image-reflecting jade from it to check the situation in the Rihua Valley and Qi Yue's whereabouts.
Apart from its ability to self-destruct, the biggest use of this skylark puppet is to use the shadow-receiving jade inside it to detect records. Once activated, it will hide itself and imitate the appearance of common birds around it, making it difficult to be detected.
I need to record it first before I can fly back to show it to her. I can't record and check it at the same time.
"I remember that the Shadow Jade has a corresponding magical instrument that can do this..."
Everything is normal in Huaxi Valley. Yunchang has moved into the bamboo forest and started breeding pollinating bees and pest-killing ants.
Tang Shengcai signed a profit-sharing contract with her, and with her detailed drawings, he was working with his men to make the farming puppet. After all, Tang Shengcai was an old carpenter, and he also had some experience in puppets, so he improved her imperfections to make them more perfect, which was an unexpected gain.
The difficulty of this thing lies in the initial inspiration and design. Once the idea turns this corner, it is not difficult for veterans.
The vegetable fields, fish ponds, poultry houses and livestock pens have all been put into use. The toad guarding the valley has been doing its job conscientiously and has not let any outsiders in. I will give it a jar of newly brewed wine tomorrow.
As for Qi Yue, Jiang Yuebai was also very satisfied.
Qi Yue is indeed capable. She knows what to decide on her own and what to ask her for permission. She does not act recklessly, nor is she overly conventional. She has a good sense of balance.
She had been deliberately losing things during this period, leaving behind spirit stones, pills, and even tokens. Qi Yue had no ill intentions, nor did he take credit for it. He just quietly placed all the things on the desk in her bedroom.
But Qi Yue also has ambitions. After finishing her chores, she would hang out at the Carpentry Institute, trying to get close to Tang Shengcai and learn how to make farming puppets.
Jiang Yuebai didn't teach her for the time being. He just opened the Rice Garden maze to her, gave her some magic stones, and allowed her to enter and exit his private territory at will and replace the magic stones for the puppets in the terraced fields.
Jiang Yuebai felt that Qi Yue could stay and her salary should be increased.
In the Tianyan Sect, only the inner sect Qi-cultivating disciples are allowed to have servants around them. The servants' salaries need to be deducted from their own salaries, which is usually five low-grade spirit stones per month, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of outer sect disciples.
At this time, she had not yet bought the blood of the spirit beast, and most of the spirit stones she had on her had been spent, and the 5,000 contribution points she had earned before had also been used up, but she must not save on things that should not be saved.
Once everything in Huaxi Valley is back on track, the spirit stones can be earned back quickly, so there is no rush.
Jia Xiuchun and Xiao Ankuo suddenly became much quieter. Qi Yue took care of all the chores. If there was anything, she could just use a paper crane to tell her. Jiang Yuebai was finally able to free up a lot of time.
During the day, he would go to the lecture halls of inner disciples on each peak to listen to the lessons of Master Jindan. In the evening, he would come back to take care of important elixirs, and practice on his own at night.
In the quiet room, Jiang Yuebai placed spirit stones into the spirit gathering array, sat cross-legged on the cushion in the array, and took out a pile of spirit stones to engrave the divine stone.
This is something she is the only one who can do at the moment, so she would spend an hour every day specially on engraving the Divine Machine Stone. Little by little, together with the accumulation of the Yinshan Mine over the past five years, it would be enough for Huaxi Valley to use for a while.
"It would be great if I could find Mo Baichun. It would be okay for me to kowtow to her and call her Master, and be filial to her, as long as she doesn't take me away."
Jiang Yuebai thought greedily, and then scolded himself for being wishful thinking and thick-skinned.
The engraving on the Divine Stone can train the strength and precision of the spiritual consciousness. In this process, the spiritual consciousness grows slowly. When Jiang Yuebai feels a headache, he takes out the Five Flavors Jade Slip to investigate, and continues after his spiritual consciousness is completely consumed.
Jiang Yuebai has thoroughly examined the Five Elements Jade Slips, and it does contain the "Five Elements Return to Truth", but it is only the upper part, which can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Jiang Yuebai discovered that this five-flavor jade slip is not only a device for recording things, but also a good thing for training spiritual consciousness. When searching in the jade slip maze, it can enhance the depth and breadth of spiritual consciousness.
When she is asked to control the magic weapon, she can reach a larger range. Once the opponent makes a wrong judgment and thinks that her magic weapon is out of reach, that's when she will fall.
After such training, Jiang Yuebai felt that his control over his spiritual consciousness could compete with that of the demon clan who specialized in spiritual consciousness.
"When Elder Li comes back, I will definitely ask the demon race how they can use their spiritual consciousness to activate magic without using hand gestures. Maybe I can learn from them."
It has been more than a month since Li Jiuchuan left. The books recording the issues of cultivation on Jiang Yuebai's desk are getting thicker and thicker. The Jindan Zhenren who preaches in the inner sect does not have as good a temper as Li Jiuchuan.
Because she asked so many questions, she had been scolded in public many times. Many Jindan Zhenren would hide when they saw her. It was unclear whether they could not answer or they just did not have the patience.
She became a laughing stock in the inner sect. Everyone thought she was a blockhead and that Jindan Zhenren couldn't teach her and didn't bother to teach her anymore.
After sitting for a long time, Jiang Yuebai stood up to stretch his muscles and glanced at the cultivation panel.

He did not learn any new spells or martial arts, but began to take Peiyuan Pills for cultivation. In the beginning, it could increase his proficiency by ten points at a time, but after taking it for almost a month, the increase in proficiency dropped to eight points.
She is currently taking lower-grade ninth-grade Peiyuan Pills. Mid-grade and higher-grade Peiyuan Pills should be more effective, but they are hard to buy.
Because mid-level elixirs have very little toxicity and high-level elixirs have almost no toxicity, alchemists will keep the elixirs for themselves after making them.
If she wanted it, she could only make it herself.
The progress of refining the fire vortex is good, and the fire spirit is purer than before, which is of great benefit to the practice of Vajra Baking Furnace Technique. This technique has five levels, corresponding to the five internal organs' baking furnaces, one level for each furnace.
Because she was busy studying the Dao of Alchemy, she never took it seriously. She just went to the courtyard to practice martial arts when she needed to stretch her muscles after sitting for a long time, and practiced the Vajra Furnace Skill at the same time. After accumulating for a month, she would have a furnace ready.
By then, your Qi and blood will be abundant, your physical strength and energy will increase significantly, and you can burst out twice as much power in critical moments.
The formation master is currently studying the second-level chain formation 'Gold and Water Gathering Formation' that she had exchanged from the library before. This formation is still within the Five Elements rotation and is the most basic chain formation. It is relatively easy for her and does not require much effort.
The Gold Gathering Water Array is engraved on the array plate and can be activated instantly. It can use gold spiritual energy to enhance the concentration of water spiritual energy, quickly replenish water spiritual energy during a fight, and enhance the power of water-attribute spells, such as her Cloud Thunder Break.
Or for someone like Lu Nanzhi who is born with a water spirit body, if she fights alone, this formation is enough for her to keep her water spirit power sufficient from beginning to end, and remain invincible.
The alchemy practitioner had also tried fire and water refining for more than twenty times, and had refined a total of three ninth-grade lower-level Peiyuan pills and five ninth-grade lower-level Jiangchen pills.
I vaguely figured out the trick and was only two pills away from truly getting started.
"I still prefer this kind of life where I can concentrate on studying without any distractions. I wonder how Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan are doing in the sword tomb, and where is Lu Ying right now?"
Jiang Yuebai stood up and walked to the window. In the elegant misty moonlight, the trees rustled and the green waves rose and fell like waves.
The eight-handed bamboo puppet controlled the clouds and rain, and the spiritual vegetables all over the mountains were growing well. The first batch could be harvested tomorrow.
"A Divine Machine Stone can be used continuously for seven days, so the consumption is not that great... Wait, if the consumption is not that great..."
A meteor streaked across the sky, and Jiang Yuebai turned to look at the spirit gathering array in the quiet room, his eyes flashing with intelligence.
