Since that day, Qing Yu has been cultivating every day, except for the time to eat and sleep.

There had never been a moment when she was so eager to improve her cultivation.

"What's wrong with you these days? How can you ignore it when you cultivate, as if you are desperate? Zhu Changning saw that she was wrong.

Qing Yu said: "No why, I just want to be stronger, I don't want to be bullied." Speaking of the back, although she had endured it, she still underestimated her ability to bear it, and her heart was still astringent when she thought of that humiliating night. However, she knew that she couldn't cry, and even if she did, she couldn't cry so aggrieved.

"You kid." Zhu Changning shook his head lightly and said, "You go to the mountains to cut bamboo." He stretched out his hand and pointed at it, "Do you see the mountain?" You go there and cut it, no one will bother you, and if you don't want to cut it, come back. ”

He tilted his head and asked Qing Yu, "What do you think of my proposal?" ”

Qing Yu nodded and accepted the offer.

"Take your hand."

Qing Yu was puzzled, but did so.

Zhu Changning raised her hand slightly, her fingers were like blades, writing something on her hand, but she felt an incomparable pain spreading in her palm.

After a while, Zhu Changning withdrew her hand, and Qing Yu looked at it again, at this time, it seemed that a word had been written on her hand, however, she didn't recognize it very well.

"Go ahead, if you encounter an enchantment, you can use this to open it." He tilted his head and gestured to the mark on her hand.

Qing Yu nodded and walked towards the mountain that Zhu Changning pointed to.

She didn't know what the name of the mountain was, although it was also drawn in the disciple's manual, but it didn't list the name, only the word "forbidden".

In the disciple's handbook, there are many places where the word "forbidden" is written.

She knew what that word meant, which meant that ordinary disciples were not allowed to go, and just now Zhu Changning said that she could open it with the mark on her hand, and she didn't doubt it at all.

After staying with Zhu Changning for a long time, she never doubted what this person said, she didn't feel it before, but then she felt that although he was sometimes too quiet, his talent in cultivation was extremely high, and with his guidance, Qing Yu felt that it wouldn't take long for him to break through.

He had already explained the Taishang Xuanshuang Sutra for her, although there were some places that he still didn't understand very well, but when he cultivated to that place, when he thought of what he said, coupled with his own feelings, it often didn't take long for him to feel suddenly enlightened. And once she figured it out, Qing Yu felt that she seemed to have a smooth path in cultivation, as if nothing could stump her.

However, Ye Lan's whip let her know that her actual combat experience was not enough at all, and she had no cultivation, but she didn't know what to do.

She needs practical experience, she can't just be trapped in the house, she needs to go outside.

Chop bamboo.

I heard Yao Sitong say that many brothers and sisters have cut bamboo, and there are also miscellaneous disciples on the mountain who specialize in planting bamboo, and the bamboo they planted is for them to use for cutting.

She didn't know what she was going to do when she cut bamboo, but Zhu Changning said it, and she did it.

The direction she went in was extremely remote, and she hardly met anyone, and when she walked up the mountain, she did encounter resistance, and the more she got to the back, the greater the resistance, making it difficult for her to walk an inch. Trying to show the mark on her hand, sure enough, the resistance seemed to disappear, and she entered without resistance.

Is this an enchantment?

She couldn't see it, but she could feel it, and the whole mountain was supposed to be shrouded in an enchantment, isolating the mountain from the outside world.

There is nothing on the mountain, except for trees, except for bamboo.

After choosing a place, Qing Yu took out his sword and began to chop bamboo.

These bamboos were very different from what she had imagined, they would twist to one side as soon as they were chopped, and they were so elastic that they would be returned with almost as much force as they were used, and she didn't pay attention for a while, and her hands were numb from the shock.

"What kind of bamboo is this?" She muttered.

"Don't you cut me, I'm in pain." Faintly, there was a grievance voice, it was the bamboo that she had cut a sword.

"You broken bamboo, I'm here to cut you!" Qing Yu raised his sword, looked at the bamboo that left only a trace, and once again slashed at it.

This time, she didn't push as hard as last time, and the second was grinding little by little.

It took two hours to cut down a bamboo tree.

"It's so hard." Qing Yu wiped his sweat and didn't rest, shaking his numb hands, looking for the next target.

On the first day, she cut down three.

The next day, she cut down five.

On the third day, she cut down eight trees.

……

Time was passing little by little, Qing Yu cut bamboo on the mountain for half a month, and the dry food he brought with him was no longer enough, so he had no choice but to return.

She deliberately went to the small medicine field, but Zhu Changning was not there.

When he came the next day, he was still not there.

The newly planted herbs in the medicinal field had grown taller, and she raised her hand slightly, placing her hand on one of the loose plants, and the greenery overflowed slightly from her hand, enveloping it.

"Do you know where he went?" She let out her mind and made contact with the loose grass.

"I don't know, he hasn't been here for a few days, and I feel a little bored without anyone." Xiaoyao grass had become accustomed to chatting with her occasionally, so it didn't seem strange at all.

Not only that, but she also found it a little boring.

"I heard him say that he was going out on a trip, and I don't know when he will come back." The grass thought for a moment and said.

"Travel? Did he really say that? ”

"yes, he muttered here that day, I heard it."

In the next few days, Qing Yu went to see it, just like Xiaoyaocao said, she never saw Zhu Changning again, he might have really gone out to travel, right?

A little lost in her heart, Qing Yu had to cheer up again, without Zhu Changning, life would have to go on, and her cultivation could not be wasted because of this.

Cutting bamboo seems to have become a part of her cultivation, she has been chopping bamboo for half a year, and she feels a lot calmer, every time she cuts bamboo, she will be very focused, as if only the bamboo and the sword in her hand are left between heaven and earth, during this period, her cultivation has finally broken through the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

It was supposed to be a joy to do, but she didn't know who to share her joy with.

Perhaps, this is nothing to be happy about at all, but it is only a small step.

Her life is still as peaceful as usual, cutting bamboo every day, and then cultivating, when she saw Wei Linglong, she only nodded slightly, and the two of them didn't have anything to say.

Wei Linglong also seemed to realize what she said that night that shouldn't have been said, but she didn't have the slightest intention to explain. Perhaps, in her opinion, even if she breaks through, the slightest threat to her is not enough to generate it. So, there is no need to explain anything at all.
