Two small poisonous bees flew in the flowers.

 

Left Fly and Right Fly.

 

This is a vast valley, with jungles, green water, and a lush mountain wilderness that has not yet been touched by human feet.

 

At this moment, a colorful silk suddenly emerged from the small stream, and the sparkling and brilliant light converged in one place, emitting a unique fragrance. The surrounding poisonous bees were immediately attracted by this brilliance and gathered around, hovering and gathering in a circle.

 

The sparkling light began to move slowly at first, gradually following the river, winding through the valley, flowing into the river from the small stream, and winding to a flat riverbank.

 

Suddenly, the light dissipated, and the group of poisonous bees lost their guidance and buzzed in place for a while before dispersing. There were many flowers and grasses here, and they began to stop around.

 

"Hoo…"

 

Under the water, a large golden carp slowly sank and returned to the sandpit at the bottom of the water.

 

Beside it, a slightly smaller rainbow carp immediately approached and said, "Sister, you worked hard! I will work hard to cultivate magical powers as soon as possible and share your worries."

 

The big fish sighed, "Unfortunately, I also have low magical powers and no other abilities, so I can only do such small things…"

 

The little fish quickly said, "Sister is already very powerful!"

 

The big fish seemed a bit tired, and its beautiful body swayed with the waves, saying, "I just hope that the big bad guy won't come again."

 

"Well…" The little fish swam up and said, "I'll go up and take a look…"

 

It shook its body and floated to the shallow water surface. As a result, when it looked up, it saw sword shadows flying on the river bank, cutting down the group of poisonous bees that had been led by the sisters all the way.

 

"Sister…" The little fish's voice was crying, "He not only came again, but also came earlier!"

 

…

 

Chu Liang did his routine work as usual, killing the poisonous bees, and looked around without noticing the angry bubbles on the water.

 

Then he returned to Shu Mountain.

 

Yunhua Town is very close to Shu Mountain, and it only took a moment to reach the Pagoda Peak.

 

Jiang senior sister invited him to meet here today.

 

As soon as he entered the water curtain cave, he saw Hakutaku's cub "Hualuoluo" calling out happily, jumping in front of him, and rubbing a big head against him.

 

"Long time no see." Chu Liang touched its neck to show affection and walked inside.

 

Jiang Xiaobai was wearing a blue dress today, with a graceful figure. When she saw him coming, she stood up to greet him, and her tall figure was fully displayed.

 

"I will go out to do a task later, which may take longer this time, so I came to check your progress in the talisman sword technique in advance." Jiang Xiaobai said.

 

As a disciple of her level, doing tasks is not as casual as Chu Liang and others. They are arranged by the sect and not all of them are self-selected, so it is normal to have temporary matters."Junior Sister, I'm really grateful that you're still concerned about my cultivation." Chu Liang smiled.

 

"Stop pretending. You asked me to help sell that fruit tea before, and now you're doing so well that the whole Shu Mountain knows about it, but you haven't given me a share." Jiang Xiaobai gave him a disdainful look.

 

"My small business is not worth your attention, Junior Sister." Chu Liang immediately replied.

 

"Hmph." Jiang Xiaobai snorted and went straight to the point. "How's your progress in self-studying the True Explanation of Talismans and practicing sword techniques?"

 

Chu Liang answered truthfully, "I'm progressing slowly."

 

"Oh?" Jiang Xiaobai's gaze turned cold. "It's been seven days already. If you haven't made any progress, I'll be angry."

 

"The art of talismans is profound, and I've only just begun to understand it. The practice of talisman sword techniques is even more difficult, and I've only grasped a little bit…" Chu Liang explained.

 

"That's understandable. Show me what you've learned, and I'll give you some guidance." Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

 

Chu Liang followed her instructions, stepped back a few steps to the empty ground in the cave, summoned his flying sword, concentrated and recalled the key points.

 

"Rise!"

 

He shouted lightly, raised his finger, and the flying sword rose into the air with a clang.

 

Talisman sword technique!

 

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

 

As he changed his finger movements, the flying sword made a continuous sound of breaking through the air. The silver light quickly formed a rune, and then, with a flick of his finger, the rune flew out with the sword qi.

 

Bang!

 

A sword qi with a long flame tail hit the ground in front of him like a shooting star, leaving a huge pit.

 

Compared to ordinary sword control techniques, the power was amazing.

 

"Hmm…" Jiang Xiaobai frowned as she watched this scene.

 

"You call this just grasping a little bit? He combined the talisman and sword qi so smoothly and released a complete sword technique. Isn't this already a success? He said he's progressing slowly, but who is he trying to fool? Is this what they call a man's mouth and a ghost's deceit?"

 

But it's only been a few days!

 

However, just because he has reached this level of cultivation does not necessarily mean he was like this today. Is it possible that he achieved this level before seven days had passed?

 

Chu Liang put away his sword and saw Jiang Xiaobai's thoughtful expression. He thought she was dissatisfied with his progress, but he felt that he was already fast enough in terms of cultivation speed, and his sword technique was already complete.

 

What else was not perfect?So he hesitated and said, "I reached this level of cultivation four days ago, and my progress has slowed down since then, mainly because my understanding of the Fu Dao is not deep enough. Now I can only use the rune of the Five Elements Fire with my flying sword, and at most, I can do double fire rune swords, but not every time I can succeed…"

 

"But in recent days, I have been practicing the Wind Rune, and I have succeeded many times. I believe that in no more than two days, I will be able to master the Wind and Fire Double Rune Sword proficiently, and its power will increase even more…"

 

"Sister, didn't you give me a month's time before? I believe that after a month, the runes I can master proficiently will definitely not be limited to this…"

 

His tone was weak, and he was worried that Jiang Xiaobai would suspect him of being lazy and not teach him anymore in the future.

 

But every word he said was like an arrow shot into Jiang Xiaobai's Dao heart.

 

Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

 

After a moment, Jiang Xiaobai raised her hand: "Alright, don't say anything more."

 

She actually wanted to give Chu Liang some advice just now.

 

What advice?

 

She just told him the sword art, and he had already deduced the whole process by himself. As long as he continued to practice along this path, as his cultivation increased, the ten-rune sword and hundred-rune sword would naturally come to him.

 

It felt like even the most complicated Fu Dao sword art was not difficult for him at all. He could practice it as soon as he got it, and he could use it once he learned it…

 

Why did it feel like this person was cultivating in easy mode?

 

For the first time in her life, Jiang Xiaobai felt this kind of gap caused by the difference in talent. In the past, she was always the one being looked up to in such situations.

 

But ever since she met Chu Liang, she had become the one being hit.

 

"Sister?" Chu Liang called her softly.

 

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes came back to him, and then she looked at Chu Liang, her expression very serious as she said:

 

"Let me tell you, you have to call me sister every day, even if one day you become stronger than me, you still have to obediently call me sister! Remember that?!"
