Winter night, early morning.
The bedroom was filled with the smoke of soul-sinking incense. Jiang Ning opened his eyes and felt that his spiritual awareness had increased a bit, far exceeding his own Qi training level.
'You still need to improve your Qi training level.'
Jiang Ning opened the door and quietly left the rented house without disturbing anyone.
He hid his body and ran all the way towards Huqi Mountain.
It was late at night, the wind was very cold, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. In this weather, most people went home and crawled into their warm beds.
However, when passing by a school gate, several boys were standing in a group. They were wearing thin clothes and shivering all over. They were threatening to beat up someone, as if beating the other person was a grace on their part.
Occasionally, a small business owner would push a snack cart and rush home on the cold night.
From time to time, large trucks whizzed past on the road.
Finally, Jiang Ning stopped at the Huqishan Villa. He mobilized his spiritual power and jumped directly into the villa without opening the door.
Then Jiang Ning turned on the light, illuminating the land within the courtyard wall, and felt the spiritual energy of this place.
The spirit gathering formation has been in operation for a few days. Although the spiritual energy in Huqi Mountain is still thin, this villa has gathered the spiritual energy from dozens of miles around, barely reaching a usable level.
He would not directly absorb spiritual energy to practice, unless the spiritual energy was pure and rich to a certain degree, otherwise the speed of practice would be much slower than swallowing pills.
The day before yesterday, Jiang Ning introduced spiritual energy and used it to transform the land with some spiritual objects.
Now, the field in the villa can barely be called a spiritual field.
Jiang Ning held the herb seeds, guided by his spiritual power, and planted them in the ground, then he made a spell.
It attracts spiritual energy and moisture in the air to gather and transform into a simplified version of spiritual rain, which falls to the ground and nourishes the seeds.
He cast a few more spells to catalyze the growth of the herbs.
Jiang Ning used his spiritual sense to observe the seeds. It would probably take until next year before the herbs could be used as medicine.
Jiang Ning didn't feel any regrets, as this matter couldn't be rushed.
The effects of the Qi Gathering Pills refined from the spiritual herbs grown in the spiritual fields would not be much inferior to those in the immortal cultivation world. His cultivation speed could easily be doubled.
He also set up a spiritual array around the place to prevent outsiders from coming in, or birds and wild beasts from destroying his herbs.
Jiang Ning walked into the hall, picked up a bag of materials, went to the basement of the villa, found the "spiritual wood board", and began to refine the spiritual wood boat flying magic weapon.
The spirit wood boat now only needs three kinds of materials to be refined.
Based on Jiang Ning's experience, he estimated that if the spirit wood boat was successfully refined, its flying speed would be at least one hundred and twenty meters per second, exceeding the speed of high-speed rail.
If his cultivation level is high enough, his speed can be even faster. At that time, he can just steer the spirit wood boat to wherever he wants to go.
Jiang Ning asked Shao Shuangshuang to speed up the collection. At the same time, he was searching on the Internet, but his efficiency was not very high, far less than Shao Shuangshuang's.
After Jiang Ning integrated the materials into the wooden boat, he controlled it again, slowly flew into the sky, and came to the place where the Qi had been taken away that he discovered last time.
This location is fixed. Jiang Ning had planted a mark here before. Even without the ability to observe qi, he can still find this place.
Thousands of meters in the air, Jiang Ning stood on a spiritual wooden board and looked at the area.
Qi can be deprived, and the laws can be deprived.
Since that civilization can do it, can he use it to obtain fragments of the laws of heaven and earth
The fragments of laws have many wonderful uses, which is equivalent to a shortcut to cultivation and is more useful than 99% of elixirs.
If there are enough fragments of the laws, with Jiang Ning's practice experience in his previous life, he can be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage in a very short time.
It's a pity that it is not available.
His cultivation level was only at the fourth level of Qi training, and he didn't even dare to extend his spiritual consciousness to go in and investigate, as he was worried about causing any abnormalities.
Jiang Ning sighed and controlled the spirit wooden board to fly down.
"Let's wait until the later stages of Qi training."
In the later stage of Qi training, magic power and spiritual awareness will experience another surge, and combined with the experience of the Nascent Soul stage, the 'Spiritual Yuan Shuttle' can be condensed.
This is an extremely advanced method of spiritual detection that can conceal one's true intentions from the world.
By then, we can use the 'Shenyuan Shuttle' to cross this barrier and secretly monitor what magic is inside the barrier.
Before leaving, Jiang Ning took away the "empty crystal silk" that he found that day using the Qi-observing technique. This was the material for refining a storage ring.
In the future, things like pills, wallets, keys, or some important materials can be put into the storage ring.
Of course, mobile phones won’t work. The storage ring forms a small space of its own. When a mobile phone is put in it, there is no signal and the connection is lost immediately.
Even if Xue Yuantong pressed his phone until it was flat, there was no way he could find him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning smiled knowingly.
His current peaceful life was built up bit by bit, almost everything he did personally, and is completely different from the past.
From this perspective, he has already "entered the world."
But sometimes, I always feel detached from the world. Although I am in the secular world, I seem to be out of it, like a spectator.
He wondered if this was the way to enter the world.
Immediately, Jiang Ning determined the answer. Since he would think about the issue of "entering the world", it means that he has become a member of the secular world.
If one is truly detached from the world, he will never think about these questions, just like the "Bu Yu Zhenjun" of the past.
…
In the morning, Xue Yuantong stayed in bed again. Jiang Ning slipped away twice, but she was stuck to the quilt and couldn't be separated at all.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to put it down and turn on the stove to cook.
Before leaving Xue Yuantong's hut, he used his spiritual power to casually set up a warming formation.
It is very cold in winter, and it is even colder when you get up. If you heat up the room, you will feel much more comfortable when you get up, and you will be less likely to stay in bed.
He was very familiar with Xue Yuantong's home. He knew where the rice, flour, oil, salt, seasonings, kitchen utensils, and dishes were kept.
Jiang Ning cooked pumpkin rice porridge. The pumpkin that Aunt Gu bought was good. She cut it into pieces and cooked it with the rice. The pumpkin pieces were slightly spread out, and a hint of sweetness overflowed.
He fried three steamed buns, stir-fried some potatoes and shredded pork, and used his magic power to roast two eggs.
At this moment, the aroma of food filled the air. Before Jiang Ning called Xue Yuantong, she got up from the bed by herself, wearing a fluffy dress and cotton shoes.
"Jiang Ning, have you prepared the meal?" Xue Yuantong was surprised when he looked at the dishes on the table.
"What else?"
"Great job, it's nice to wake up and have breakfast!"
Xue Yuantong was very satisfied. She stretched out her hand to grab the snack and planned to eat it first. Jiang Ning knocked her on the forehead:
"Go brush your teeth."
"I'll just take a bite to taste it."
"no."
Xue Yuantong sat on the stool and said:
"I'm starving."
"Brush your teeth before you eat."
"I have no strength left. I'm too hungry to walk." Xue Yuantong closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, but her hands did not stop. She used her quick fingers and actually accurately picked up a piece of shredded meat.
When the meat was halfway through, Jiang Ning took away the meat from her meat and ate it herself.
Xue Yuantong was left alone.
She opened her eyes, blinked twice, and ran to brush her teeth with a wronged look on her face.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she came over with a smile and kept praising Jiang Ning's cooking skills at the dinner table.
After careful consideration, Xue Yuantong expressed his willingness to give the important task of cooking in the morning to Jiang Ning.
She emphasized that it was definitely not because she was lazy or wanted to stay in bed, but that this move was intended to cultivate Jiang Ning's self-reliance.
However, the plan did not go smoothly, as Jiang Ning refused on the grounds that he was not up to the task.
Xue Yuantong was very disappointed and criticized Jiang Ning harshly.
…
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong arrived at the school gate and got off their mountain bikes.
You are not allowed to ride a bicycle on campus, otherwise the teacher will give you a lecture if you see it.
Last time, a classmate in our class was caught by Principal Yu for riding a bicycle on the main road of the campus, and he wrote an 800-word self-criticism.
As Jiang Ning stepped into the campus, he saw Ma Shicheng standing more than 20 meters in front of him.
At this time, Ma Shicheng was holding a big broom, which was made of bamboo. It was quite big and could not be used in the classroom. The big broom was used to clean the campus.
This was paid for by Class Eight. Since the first-year high school students have more time, some of the cleaning in the campus is mostly done by the first-year high school students. For example, the spacious main campus road in front of us is the duty area of Class Eight.
Jiang Ning looked at Ma Shicheng and said:
"Isn't it your turn to be on duty today?"
"Hi, I just like to help my classmates on duty. I am a kind-hearted person." Ma Shicheng praised himself.
Yang Sheng, who was the supervisor nearby, urged:
"Ma Shicheng, are you going to do it or not? What are you hesitating about?"
Ma Shicheng was annoyed when he heard this: "Am I not working?"
"You dare to talk back? I've left yesterday's garbage for you. If you don't want to do it anymore, you can go and eat it now!" Yang Sheng said contemptuously.
Yesterday she made a bet with Ma Shicheng that if the other party lost, he would not want to eat garbage no matter what, so she proposed that he take over her duties for a month, and Ma Shicheng had no choice but to agree.
Yang Sheng's ridicule echoed in Ma Shicheng's ears. If it were usual, he would definitely argue with her, but now.
He swore in front of the class last night.
If he fails to carry it out, what face will Ma Ge have in the future? He will just have to accept the defeat.
Ma Shicheng made a bitter face, did not reply, and continued cleaning.
"Let's go." Jiang Ning said.
"Let's go." Xue Yuantong followed him.
Only Ma Shicheng continued to sweep the streets under Yang Sheng's supervision. He looked at Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong with eyes full of longing, that was freedom!
Ma Shicheng swung the broom even harder, as if he wanted to vent the frustration in his heart on the broom.
Yang Sheng was very satisfied as he watched him work hard:
"You little brat, you dare to mess with me, do you know what will happen to you?"
