Chapter Nine, the Completion of the Sharpness Technique

As night fell, Jiang Yuebai looked at the fragrant bowl of rice before him, his stomach growling with hunger, yet his arms ached so much that he could not lift the chopsticks

... ...

Song Peier raised her eyebrows and said, "Lv Ying, she just broke through to the first layer of Qi Refinement yesterday. I have asked her to rest and consolidate today, and she will start learning the techniques tomorrow"

Tao Fengnian took a sip and said, "As long as it quenches my thirst, that's enough."

Then, one must assume a horse stance while practicing the hand techniques of spellcasting.

Golden light emerges from the Dantian, illuminating each acupuncture point with golden dots, wandering within and outside the lungs, converging into the inner side of the right arm, exiting from the right thumb, infusing into the left thumb, and then flowing upward from the inner side of the left arm, ultimately returning to the Dantian to form a cycle

Geng Metal Skill (Not yet initiated: 1 / 10)

Jiang Yuebai stabilized his mind and took out the jade slip, pressing it against his forehead

After much contemplation, Jiang Yuebai found the "Yin Qi Jue," which contains detailed illustrations of acupoints and meridians.

Song Peier chuckled and looked around, "Did that sweet-talking girl of yours not come out to help?"

The next morning

... failed in the exercise of energy cultivation

Teach her the "Chasing Star Steps", and then follow it with a set of "Chopping Wood Techniques"

Jiang Yue smiled with her eyes curved and nodded, "Hmm, I saw a golden little vortex, is it right in my dantian?"

Tao Fengnian drank the wine in one gulp and handed the bowl back.

Jiang Yuebai exclaimed in surprise, her eyes sparkling, unable to stop swallowing.

Maintain an upright posture while seated, chew your food slowly and thoroughly, do not shake your legs, do not clink bowls and dishes, and do not rummage through the dishes.

After ten years of foundation building, one can take another longevity pill that lasts for fifty years, still having a slim chance to reach the stage of mhetushu.com and achieve the golden core.

Song Peier's eyes moved slightly as she leaned in to ask, "How is that girl of yours? No news yet?"

The long night is endless, with the moon bright and the stars few.

Proceed step by step, without arrogance or impatience, neither hastily nor slowly

Tao Fengnian's hand, which was washing rice, paused as he looked at Jiang Yuebai in surprise

... ... failed in the exercise of energy cultivation

On the second day, after Tao Fengnian finished his class, he went out to work. Jiang Yuebai was eager to learn everything about the cultivation world. Even in Tao Fengnian's absence, she diligently practiced her calligraphy, horse stance, footwork, sword techniques, and hand seals

Today we will have stewed meat, and after eating our fill, Grandpa will teach you how to stand in horse stance and use a knife

Tao Fengnian was cooking in the kitchen, while Jiang Yuebai followed closely behind him like a little tail, chattering about the insights gained from last night's cultivation practice

At this time, everyone is prosperous and joyful

Nineteen days of breakthrough, among the apprentices in our Huaxi Valley, one is of average level even if placed in the outer sect. I believe that within three months, they will be able to learn a basic spell formula and help me share the workload in the fields.

You begin to circulate your energy, drawing the golden spiritual energy from your dantian, but you have chosen the wrong acupoint, resulting in a failure of your practice

Jiang Yuebai sat on the bed, her eyes gently closed, breathing steadily

Upon returning to the courtyard, Tao Fengnian pushed open the gate and saw Jiang Yuebai standing on a wooden post in a golden rooster stance, with a vase atop her head as steady as a rock, her hair disheveled and her gaze focused.

Are you tired

Old Tao, your actions are indeed swift. While we are still in the autumn harvest, you have already completed your winter planting. Would you care for a sip of the newly brewed red cherry fruit wine?

Tao Fengnian wiped his hands on his body, looking at the little girl who was still shorter than the desk in front of the books, and smiled knowingly. He took out a piece of beast meat that had been hidden for a long time from his storage bag

Jiang Yuebai carefully compared the cultivation route in the jade slip, familiarizing himself with the acupoints on his body and summarizing his past failures

The sun rises in the east, casting myriad rays of rosy light

You began practicing energy cultivation... You have again chosen the wrong acupoint, resulting in a failure of the energy cultivation

Did it really run completely for a week?

Meat! I like it!

In this moment, the extinguished spark in Tao Fengnian's heart was rekindled; perhaps he could strive once more and endeavor to hold on for another three years

Based on the time calculation, if she does not fail even once during the night, she can complete her cultivation three times, which means that in another three to five days, she will be able to enter the threshold.

The golden light is faint, shimmering in a subtle manner, slowly rotating like twinkling stars, truly beautiful

After speaking, Tao Fengnian shouldered his hoe and left. Song Peier curled her lips behind him, "Knowing that your lifespan is coming to an end, yet they do not assign you a decent apprentice to help you accumulate contribution points, what good is having five spiritual roots!"

[Martial Arts Technique]

After lunch, Tao Fengnian arranged wooden stakes of varying heights in the courtyard, arranged in a pattern resembling the stars.

If she becomes a Spirit Farmer in three years, this achievement will give him a strong case to request a ten-year longevity pill from the sect, which is highly promising

I see, I have remembered it

You begin to cultivate your energy, resorting to self-inflicted pain due to the inability to locate the acupoints accurately, demonstrating a fierce determination. Despite the difficulties, you successfully channel your energy, increasing your proficiency in the Metal Element technique by 1

After finishing the meal, boil some water and use this medicinal herb to take a bath to invigorate the blood; by tomorrow, the pain will be gone. Cultivating oneself is said to be difficult, but in reality, it is not so hard. The key lies in repeatedly doing simple tasks, as practice makes perfect.

Tao Fengnian, somewhat lost in thought as he sifted through the rice, truly felt grateful to Hong Tao for bringing this child to him

The early to mid-stages of Qi cultivation are relatively easy, requiring only three to five years of diligent effort. The first two layers of the Ling Geng technique are also manageable; however, progressing from the third layer to the fourth layer necessitates years of meticulous practice and comprehension. Yet, it is not entirely devoid of hope.

With her innate talent and understanding, as long as she puts in the effort, coupled with her complete mastery of the five elements, her cultivation of the "Five Elements Return to Truth Technique" will undoubtedly yield results far superior to his, who possesses only four spiritual roots.

Jiang Yuebai hurriedly glanced at the cultivation panel

Jiang Yuebai pressed her lower abdomen, unable to comprehend the location of the small whirlpool she saw within her body

Jiang Yuebai speaks nothing but the truth; compared to being tired, she fears not being allowed to learn even more, just like in front of the mountain gate, where not a single opportunity is given to her

An hour passes in the blink of an eye, having failed twenty-three times, Jiang Yue feels a soreness throughout his body, his dantian empty and constricted, and a sense of defeat surges within him

As a weekly cycle came to an end, Jiang Yue's dantian suddenly swelled, and immediately after, she saw a small golden vortex abruptly appear in the dark void

Tao Fengnian's face broke into a satisfied smile as he straightened his back and patted his lower back

Jiang Yuebai shouted from the side, hurriedly snatching the rice bowl from Tao Fengnian's hands, pushing him aside, and with great concern, picking up the scattered spiritual rice grain by grain.

After completing the requirements of the sect, the remaining resources can be exchanged for some spirit stones and elixirs, which signifies an enhancement in cultivation and further indicates the hope of foundation establishment.

The fragrance of autumn orchids wafts through the air, and the spiritual valley gradually ripens.

Tao Fengnian reached out to take the bowl, and Song Peier raised her eyebrows in surprise

In the spiritual fields, the spiritual farmers, accompanied by their respective apprentices, toil diligently, harvesting and bundling the heavy ears of spiritual grain, stacking them in the fields.

Thinking of the talented yet diligent Xie Jingshan, Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath, realizing that he might have already mastered the art of breathing techniques and even begun to learn spells. Moreover, there was an even more formidable Lu Nanzhi above him.

Song Peier removed her bamboo hat and picked up the wine jar, pouring a bowl of cherry blossom-colored fruit wine and handing it to Tao Fengnian

The Edge Technique, accomplished!

Since her natural talent is limited and her comprehension is insufficient, let us resort to the simplest method

Oh, you seem to be in a good mood lately, even willing to drink my tasteless fruit wine

Only upon completing this cycle can it be considered a successful flow of energy

Tired, but I feel at ease in my heart

After a busy period, Jiang Yuebai's entire arm and chest were covered in blood spots. She furrowed her brows as she put on her clothes, taking advantage of the lingering pain to circulate her energy once more

The human body has 720 acupoints and 12 meridians. The reason she always fails is that she cannot accurately identify the acupoints and meridians

Tao Fengnian nodded in appreciation and took out a packet of medicinal herbs

However, it is still urgent to follow my grandfather's advice and draw in energy at the rise of the Golden Crow, replenishing the spiritual energy consumed throughout the night

As the ten fingers moved, a flash of golden light suddenly erupted

The spiritual energy of the gold element is drawn from the dantian, as fine as a hair, with an extremely weak sensation. Jiang Yuebai is fully focused and cautious.

The Edge Technique is about to be mastered soon

Tao Fengnian's lips moved slightly, indicating the presence of a vortex, which signifies success

Grandfather? Grandfather! The rice and the picture books have spilled out!

Tao Fengnian sat beside her, gently loosening Jiang Yuebai's muscles and bones.

Meditation instead of sleep, she did not feel tired at all; on the contrary, she felt invigorated.

In the darkness, she saw a transparent person sitting cross-legged with their five hearts facing the sky, thumbs touching, and hands overlapping at the lower abdomen

After meals, she was tested on her literacy and memorization, taught the "Four Essays of Cangjie" and "Qionglin for Young Learners," and provided with the Four Treasures of the Study to practice ancient cloud seal script and tortoise shell script

Tao Fengnian remained silent, while Bai Yatou had entered the first level of the "Gengjin Skill" three days ago and began studying the "Fengmang Formula".

After entering, she can begin to learn the Spell Sharpness Technique, which does not seem too difficult.

Jiang Yuebai noticed that Tao Fengnian had suddenly become strict with her, constantly talking during breakfast

Seeing the proficiency behind him, Jiang Yuebai was certain in his heart that as long as he completed the exercise 10 times, he would be able to enter the threshold.

It is fast

The long night stretches on, and the cool moonlight seeps through the window, casting its glow upon the focused little face of Jiang Yuebai.

A few days ago, Tao Fengnian had finished harvesting the spirit grain. Early in the morning, he used the Zhenling hoe to loosen the soil, scattered the winter seeds cultivated with the Chiyan formula, and applied the cloud and rain technique

Jiang Yuebai laughed happily twice, then turned to look out the window, where the horizon had already begun to show a hint of fish belly white

Jiang Yuebai took out an embroidery needle and rolled up her sleeves. She pressed on the acupoints according to the illustration, and each time she accurately located an acupoint, she would prick it with the needle, using the pain to help herself remember the location

Level 1 of Qi Refinement

After the light rain, the tender seedlings break through the soil, lush and vibrant, full of life

While practicing at home, didn't your apprentice also come out? Tao Fengnian greeted.
