In the next few days, Jiang Yan lived a life of three points and one line, most of the time in his small courtyard tinkering with the methods of casting spells and refining weapons of the Taoist master system, enriching his hole cards, and from time to time he would ride the black iron eagle out of the city from the sky with the cover of the light hidden jade talisman, go to the black wood forest to collect Taoist materials, and scavenge resources such as red jade blood crystals and beast pills for cultivation.

Occasionally, Jiang Yan would also run to the Tianyun Martial Academy, although the advanced courses like Cang Yuqing, which could make him shine in the eyes of a large number of software inventories and knowledge materials, had not been encountered again in the past few days, but the collection of books in the Tianyun Martial Academy was still worth seeing.

Although these collections do not include the high-level cheats collected by the major families, they are even richer than the Luo family, which not only further enriches Jiang Yan's database, but also contains some unpopular knowledge that Jiang Yan is interested in, such as mechanical techniques.

I don't know where the dean got the collection of books, although these few books that record the knowledge of the mechanism are not very profound, at most they can only be regarded as introductory explanations, but they are also a good harvest for Jiang Yan.

Combining this superficial principle of mechanism technique with the Taoist master's refining method, Jiang Yan refined a lot of interesting things for himself.

As the deadline for the family competition at the end of the month was getting closer and closer, Jiang Yan could feel that he was being watched by many people, and the recent rumors about his victory in the competition with Luo Junshu and Gu Jinlong in the Tianyun Martial Academy a few days ago could occasionally be heard in the clan, after all, many children of the Luo family would go to the martial arts academy to study, and the news would spread under hearsay.

The rumors basically don't come out of nowhere, which makes some people start to be a little curious about Jiang Yan today, but because Jiang Yan has been hiding in his small courtyard most of the time and has not gone out, and the few times he occasionally goes out, he goes directly into the library of the martial arts academy for a few hours at a time, and his life is very low-key, and most people basically can't see him.

No matter what everyone was, time passed slowly as usual, and in the blink of an eye, it was the appointed day.

......

In the early morning of this day, the Luo family was particularly lively, in the past, there was always a spare martial arts arena in the clan, but this time a large number of people gathered, because today is the day of the family Xiaobi at the end of the month.

This kind of month-end small comparison is somewhat similar to the monthly mock exams that Jiang Yan often had to experience in his previous life, and it is a regular assessment meeting for the younger generation in the clan, because in order to motivate their own children to cultivate, the Luo family issued monthly money and cultivation resources to their children is based on their performance during the monthly exam.

The monthly Qian Lu is distributed according to the results of the small ratio at the end of the month, which is witnessed by everyone, and it is also the most convincing to the public, so that people can't find fault.

At the end of the month, Xiaobi does not require the clansmen to participate, but if you have made progress in cultivation and want to strive for higher treatment, especially if you want to win more cultivation resources, then you have to get the corresponding results at the end of the month.

This setting is intended to give those younger generations the opportunity to express themselves, for example, if there are talented talents among the disciples of the side branches of the family, they can show it through this form, so as to gain the attention and cultivation of the family.

And this is also the time for the descendants of the family to show themselves to the children of the side branches and subordinates, and to establish the prestige of the main family. Under the same conditions, the descendants will enjoy more resources than the collateral divisions, and their cultivation progress will naturally be faster, at least one step ahead of those collateral branch disciples and subordinate servants.

And this is also in disguise to attract talents, a big family Ding Xingwang, the main family usually will not have only one descendant, at least there will be several, everyone is a competitive relationship, in which only you show enough potential to stand out, in order to let the people below see hope, will someone be willing to invest in you, follow your command to do things for you.

And this kind of intra-clan event that brings everyone together once a month is an excellent platform for them to use their own means. So every time it comes to the family competition, many clansmen will gather, even if they don't participate, it's good to be an audience.

"Whew...... This time, I'm going to surprise everyone!"

In the retreat room, the boiling internal force fluctuations on Luo Shaojie's body gradually subsided, he let out a sigh, got up and pushed open the door and walked out.

"Young Master. Chen Wu, who was waiting outside, looked up and saw that he was facing Luo Shaojie's glittering and somewhat stunning eyes, his heart was cold, and he subconsciously looked away, and he saluted more respectfully than usual.

Seeing Chen Wu's reaction, Luo Shaojie realized something, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and when he slowly opened his eyes after a while, the sharpness in his eyes converged a lot, at least not as stinging as at the beginning.

Chen Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the young master's aura just now made him feel a little depressed, but now it is much better.

"Let's go. Luo Shaojie walked out first, Chen Wu followed, and after leaving the living room, there were a few people outside the house guarding outside, and a group of people converged neatly and walked towards the martial arts arena.

"Has there been any change in that kid these days?" Luo Shaojie asked as he walked.

"No, it's still the same, either run into the martial arts courtyard to read, or stay in your own courtyard and don't go anywhere. Chen Wu replied.

"Where's Luoli?"

"The eldest lady also has no strange behavior. ”

Luo Shaojie nodded slightly and stopped talking. After following Chen Wu for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, do you need to care so much?" The rumors in the Martial Academy are probably just rumors!"

"Whether it's a rumor or not, there's nothing wrong with being careful. Luo Shaojie shook his head slightly, and then a confident smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "Besides, even if the news is true, I am not afraid at all now." ”

"That's right, after all, the young master is already ...... now," Chen Wu thought so, and he was also full of confidence.

After arriving at the martial arts arena, Luo Shaojie's small group directly occupied an open space and was clearly separated from the others.

"Yo, Luo Shaojie, you're here too. The voice of a teenager next to him came, it was a small group that was somewhat similar to Luo Shaojie's side, and it was a teenager who was guarded in the center of the group who spoke.

Luo Shaojie turned his head and smiled slightly: "Luo Qianhu, what, you are also interested in going on stage this month?"

"yes. Luo Qianhu smiled, and there was a bit of-for-tat provocation in his smile: "Fortunately, my strength has improved recently, and I hope to have a good discussion with you this time!"

This Luo Qianhu is the grandson of the second elder, and he is the same age as Luo Shaojie, but he was born almost half a year later than him. Luo Qianhu competed with Luo Shaojie at the end of the month three months ago when he was in the family competition, and he lost to Luo Shaojie at that time.

And now looking at Luo Qianhu's-for-tat appearance, it seems that he wants to take advantage of this Xiaobi to wash away his previous defeats.

"Then I'll wait. Luo Shaojie smiled proudly, maybe the other party has made some progress recently, but even if the other party breaks through the realm, he is not afraid of challenges at all.

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the hostility in each other's eyes.

"Look, the eldest lady is here too!"

"And Jiang Yan, he's here too!"

I don't know who shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of the crowd, and Luo Shaojie and Luo Qianhu also turned their heads to look at it together.

Sure enough, I saw Luo Li wearing a Qingluo white skirt and stepping on red brocade cotton boots into the martial arts arena, followed by a young man yawning slightly, who was following her step by step at the moment, with a distracted look on his face as if he hadn't woken up yet, it was Jiang Yan.

"Anyway, isn't the eldest lady already cultivated ten times the day after tomorrow, do you want to participate in this small competition?"

"Unlikely, that's too bullying. Maybe she just came to see Jiang Yan's performance. ”

"That's Jiang Yan, I heard that the cultivation qualification is very useless?"

"Is it hard to say whether it is waste wood now, there are rumors that he has had an adventure recently, and his progress is rapid, and now his cultivation is different from the past, and he defeated the Luo family and the Gu family a while ago!"

"Really?"

"What the truth is, when Xiaobi starts, I won't know!"

There was a lot of whispering in the crowd.

"Ah——...... It is worthy of a big family, and there are really many people. Jiang Yan yawned again, looking a little unmotivated.
