At the riverside, several peach trees are blooming brightly, and the green willows are also cut out of young leaves by the spring breeze. A young man in a lily coat and a hat sat cross-legged under the shade of the willows by the river. A few wisps of light yang were reflected on the young man's face, and some times were quiet, and the young man tasted like jade.

The boy looked to be only about eleven or twelve years old, with a pair of eyes that were shining, and his eyebrows like swords seemed to cut out the sorrows and troubles of anyone who looked at him. This young man is Jiang Xinyue, who lives at the foot of the Lingjian Sect Mountain, and he has obtained the Hundred Ghost Tricks of Zhuxian and has been practicing day and night. Although the progress has not been fast, it has not been without results.

On this day, Jiang Xinyue still took a spiritual net and sprinkled it in the river as usual.

There is a kind of spiritual fish called dragon catfish in the river, and the monks can eat it to increase the spiritual power in the body and strengthen the physique. Jiang Xinyue lingered here, she had heard of the name of the dragon catfish for a long time, and she wanted to taste it in her heart.

The only thing he caught in Song Liang's storage bag was the inconspicuous rotten net, which he used as a fishing net to cast in the river to catch fish. I've tried it a few times, and the results are good, and I can catch a few each time.

The sun was about to go down in the sky, the clouds had dispersed, and the sky was yellow. Jiang Xinyue stood up and was about to collect the spirit net that had been cast in the morning.

"If I can catch two dragon catfish today, I may be able to enter the middle of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period tonight. Jiang Xinyue was a little excited.

The river is flowing, and the willows are still on the embankment. Jiang Xinyue walked to the water's edge and lifted a thin rope, and after a while, the spirit net was exposed to the water. Jiang Xinyue's whole body moved, merging into the spiritual net. I saw that the golden rays of the spirit net were shining and shrinking violently. Jiang Xinyue smiled and pulled hard, and the spiritual light of the big net flickered and was put away from the river water, and Jiang Xinyue held it in her hand.

His cultivation is still low, and he can't refine this spirit net, so it's a little difficult to control.

Jiang Xinyue glanced at the spirit net in her hand, and saw that there was a ten-inch-long golden catfish jumping non-stop. There are also many small fish, and dozens of white-scaled river fish. He took a bamboo basket and put the golden catfish into the bamboo basket, and he put all the other fish in the spirit net back into the river.

In addition to practicing, Jiang Xinyue came to the river every day to catch this kind of dragon catfish. When you're lucky, you can catch ten a day, and if you're unlucky, you can't catch one. In addition to the dragon catfish, there are also some other fish in this big river that can refine spiritual power after eating, but the effect is very small, and Jiang Xinyue can't look down on it.

On this day, after Jiang Xinyue drank a bowl of dragon catfish soup, she immediately started to practice the Hundred Ghost Recipes of Zhuxian Immortals. He has only just stepped into the path of cultivation for only a month, and his cultivation of this Hundred Ghosts of Immortals can be regarded as a new entry.

There are nine layers in the Qi refining period, and each layer expands a vein of spiritual energy in the body, and there is only one spiritual vein in the first layer of the natural body during the Qi refining period.

At this moment, Jiang Xinyue concentrated on the Hundred Ghost Tricks of the Immortals, and gathered the aura of the whole body together. The spiritual power in his body flowed from the hundreds of limbs into the qi refining veins, constantly impacting the sealed air pockets in his body.

Jiang Xinyue's cultivation was not yet complete, and the momentum of those spiritual power impacting the great veins was weak and pitiful. Jiang Xinyue didn't want to break through to the second layer of the Qi Refining Period, he was now a cultivator who was about to enter the middle stage of the first layer at the beginning of the Qi Refining Period. The gap between the early and middle stages of the first layer of the Qi refining period is mainly due to the purity of the spiritual power in the body, and the most important thing for him now is to purify the spiritual energy.

"Fortunately, I drank a few bowls of dragon catfish soup, otherwise it would be really difficult to break through. Jiang Xinyue thought in her heart.

He relied on a book of Hundred Ghosts to Punish Immortals and Hundred Ghosts to cultivate to the Qi Refining Period alone, and it was naturally difficult to understand the requirements of each layer of spiritual power purification for his own spiritual power during the Qi Refining Period.

Generally speaking, each layer of the Qi refining period is divided into four micro-stages: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection.

In these four stages, the initial stage is to open up the spiritual vein, the middle stage is the first purification of the spiritual power in the spiritual vein, and the later stage is the second purification. The purity of the middle and late stages is also exquisite, not only related to the exercises you practice, but also related to the spiritual roots of each monk. The higher the purity of the high-level exercises and the higher the talent of the cultivators, and the higher the purity, the stronger the combat effectiveness and foundation. As for the final of these four stages, the Great Perfection Realm is to prepare for the next realm, and the monks at this stage are basically unable to purify their spiritual power again in this realm, so it is called the Great Perfection Realm.

The spiritual power in Jiang Xinyue's body poured into the atmospheric veins in his body like a hundred rivers and seas, and after he took several bowls of dragon catfish soup in a row, a lot of spiritual power was breeding in his body and also impacting the air pockets in his body. As time passed, these spiritual powers squeezed wildly in his air pockets, gradually merging. During this time, a layer of black impurities appeared on his body.

Jiang Xinyue's face was distorted, and in the process of refining his spiritual power, he was extremely uncomfortable to dredge his qi veins because of his unskilled techniques and too mixed spiritual power.

It lasted for about a stick of incense before Jiang Xinyue slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Glancing at the impurities on her body, Jiang Xinyue was a little disgusted. He ran to the spring to take a bath and change into clean clothes.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Jiang Xinyue came here. For half a year, Jiang Xinyue had been isolated from the world, practicing day and night, and finally raised her cultivation to the stage of the late stage of the first layer of the Qi Refining Period.

There was goose feather snow in the sky, and the cold wind was cold in the ice and snow, Jiang Xinyue wore a thick jacket and left from the Red Cloud Cave. He would go to the river once a day to cast a net, and it was by eating the dragon catfish that Jiang Xinyue's cultivation could improve so quickly.

Jiang Xinyue shuddered for a moment, and couldn't help pouting: "Master, I don't care about the cold and freezing to catch a few dragon catfish, and those rich people have endless squandering spirit stones. I wasn't very fast in my cultivation, so I was afraid that I would be far behind my peers. Thinking about this, Jiang Xinyue said secretly: "The Spirit Sword Sect is a four-star sect, and it can be regarded as a major sect in the entire Northern Regions, Fang Ruyi practiced half a year earlier than me, and now I'm afraid that it is at least the second layer of the Qi refining period, right?"

As the saying goes, people are more popular than people, Jiang Xinyue simply doesn't think about those tedious things. After running for a while, he soon came to the riverside.

Now in winter, a thick layer of ice has formed on the surface of the river. If you look at it, you can see the glacier like a mirror, the sky like water, and the sky and the clouds and water are connected into one color.

Jiang Xinyue prayed that this time the harvest was full, and it was not in vain that he worked so such a cold day.

When she arrived at the riverside, Jiang Xinyue suddenly saw a person dancing a sword on the river.

Jiang Xinyue muttered in her heart: "Who is this little girl? There is no one in the vicinity of this Chiyun Cave for a hundred miles, this person suddenly appeared here, and I don't know why? I still find a place to hide and wait and see what happens." ”

Hiding behind a tree, Jiang Xinyue took a closer look at the girl in a snow-white velvet coat on the river. The girl was no more than ten years old, and she held a blue fairy sword in her hand. I saw her wielding a sword move, her posture fluttering, like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind.

Jiang Xinyue exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

He watched intriguedly, until he saw the sunset, and the girl on the west mountain rode away in the wind, and then came out from behind the willow tree.

Jiang Xinyue smiled stupidly and said: "If you can see the fairy dancing sword every day, it will be worth it no matter how cold the sky is." ”

After Jiang Xinyue returned to Chiyun Cave, she couldn't sleep, and her mind was full of the shadow of the girl during the day. He couldn't sleep, so he took out a rusty sword from the Red Cloud Cave, and remembers the moves that the girl had wielded during the day.

On the second day, Jiang Xinyue was looking forward to seeing the little fairy again, but she was afraid that the girl had not gone if she went early, and it would be inappropriate to disturb her at that time, so she only passed half an hour earlier than yesterday.

Jiang Xinyue walked to the riverside, and sure enough, she saw the girl on the river practicing her sword here again.

Jiang Xinyue looked stupid, and thought: "This fairy is also like a person who even dances swords so beautifully, but I practice the Hundred Ghosts Trick of Killing Immortals, and I am full of ghosts, I am afraid that she will dislike me when she sees it." Jiang Xinyue disliked the exercises she practiced in her heart.

said that Jiang Xinyue observed for several days in a row, and finally figured out the pattern, and the girl would come to Jiangshang to practice swords every day at about noon. Jiang Xinyue was attracted by her beauty and peerless figure, and she had to watch her practice swords every day. After reading it, Jiang Xinyue practiced swordsmanship in Chiyun Cave.

More than half a month passed, and on this day, Jiang Xinyue came to the riverside again but did not see the girl. He was stunned and stayed where he was for a long time.

Jiang Xinyue sighed, lost her mind and went to collect the spirit net, and suddenly heard a sweet voice behind her.

"Are you looking for me?"

Jiang Xinyue was walking on the ice, stepped on the air, and fell into a dog eating. He hurriedly got up, covered his face, and said in a low voice: "No, no, you recognize the wrong person, right?"

In front of him stood a little Lori in pink with a double ponytail, covering her mouth and laughing.

Jiang Xinyue's face flushed, and she was too ashamed to look at the girl. He secretly hated in his heart: "Jiang Xinyue, Jiang Xinyue, you don't have the face to see people." ”

The girl smiled for a while, and beckoned to Jiang Xinyue: "Hmph, you hide behind a big tree every day and watch me practice swords, what is your intention?"

Jiang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, shrunk back, and stammered and couldn't say a word.

The girl's pretty face became serious and said, "Are you stealing Miss Ben's swordsmanship?" My master told me that this swordsmanship cannot be passed on. You have seen me practice swords, if my master knows about it, he will definitely gouge out your eyeballs. ”

Jiang Xinyue was startled, and then thought of the little girl who knew that she was watching and practicing swords, didn't she deliberately frame herself, and said angrily at the moment: "What a vicious girl, are you planning to harm me?"

The girl in pink saw that Jiang Xinyue suddenly became angry, and she didn't show weakness, she crossed her hands on her hips and giggled: "You said that what good did I do to you?"

Jiang Xinyue couldn't speak for a long time, and the girl circled around Jiang Xinyue. She shook her head, wrinkled her nose again, and said, "Your bone qualifications are too bad." ”

Jiang Xinyue was angry in her heart when she heard this, and said, "Hello, what qualifications Lao Tzu has to do with your." ”

Seeing Jiang Xinyue turn around and walk away, the girl was at a loss. She has grown up since she was a child, with golden branches and jade leaves, what she wants, everyone obeys her on weekdays, how can she meet someone like Jiang Xinyue? She didn't know why she told the truth and made Jiang Xinyue so angry.

When the girl in pink saw that Jiang Xinyue was really leaving, she shouted a few times to hey, but she didn't see Jiang Xinyue paying attention to her. She suddenly felt aggrieved, squatted on the ground and cried.

Jiang Xinyue hates others to look down on him the most in his life, he has no father and no mother, and his qualifications are not good. He didn't steal it, he didn't rob it, but no matter how bad his qualifications were, it wouldn't be someone else's turn to say it. He thinks that he is not weak in doing things, so when he sees someone mocking him, he can't help it.

Hearing the girl's cry in her ears, Jiang Xinyue paused, and said in her heart: "No wonder Daddy always says that women are harmful spirits, let me stay away." ”
