Boom –

The thunder is like a mad python, shattering the clouds, and the dark night sky turns into day in an instant.

A sudden thunderbolt fell over the Qingyuan Mountain Range, followed by a torrential downpour.

Jiang Yang held the dagger in his backhand, lay down in the grass and hid his body, letting the rain wet his body.

He!

Waiting for the prey!

"The ninth." Jiang Yang's eyes were blazing, and he licked his lips: "If the memory is correct, this is the 9,999 devil's claw frogs accumulated in the past ten years." ”

Not far in front of him, on a large bluestone covered with moss.

Lying on all fours, with a white belly, a devil's claw frog.

This is a kind of "low-level" demon beast unique to the back mountain of Qingyuan Mountain.

It is covered in pimples, looks extremely ugly, moves extremely fast, and in addition to this, its saliva contains a variety of toxins, which can kill when touched.

In the sky, a sudden thunderbolt woke up the sleeping devil's claw frog on the bluestone.

It lifted its head and looked around, but its head was still confused.

But soon, the frog with a big head and a round belly seemed to have received some kind of instruction and immediately began to court.

It shook its head vigorously, took a deep breath, and puffed out its jaw.

The next moment, there was a loud croaking of frogs.

Quack –

Babbling.

A female devil's claw frog hiding in the shadows hears a message of affection from her kind.

Before you can check if it's safe to look around.

took three steps and jumped twice, jumped on the big bluestone, and responded:

Quack –

The male claw frog continued to crow, playing coquettishly, tilting his head and twisting his hips to attract the attention of the female claw frog from the front.

Shout!

At this time, things are changing!

A burst of wind came out, and Jiang Yang, who was hiding in the grass, held a special frog dagger in his hand, covered it by the sound of thunder, and jumped high.

A knife stabbed into the back of a female devil's claw frog with reduced alertness.

Immediately, a stream of dark green blood splattered out......

Jiang Yang didn't delay for a moment, and stabbed the devil's claw frog head with precision.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a golden demon pill and put it in his pocket.

Look at how quickly he slashed and how skillful his movements were, it was clear that he had perfected the realm.

At the same time as taking the demon pill, some black light that could not be seen by the naked eye flowed out from the remnants of the devil's claw frog and merged into Jiang Yang's eyebrows.

Less leaning, Jiang Yang's robe swayed, and the golden light began to bloom all over his body, and the rain did not invade!

This is exactly the sign that a cultivator has broken through the realm and upgraded.

Jiang Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly lay down on his knees, pinched the law with his hands, and broke through the realm with all his might.

But after a quarter of an hour of golden light, it suddenly died and turned into darkness.

Jiang Yang opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

After a few moments, he was disappointed to discover:

He is still a qi refining boy, and he has not succeeded in advancing to the next realm.

"It's been ten years, why hasn't there been a breakthrough yet? It's always a little bit worse...... Am I not born to be a material for cultivation? “

Jiang Yang muttered to himself and began to doubt his life.

"Doesn't make sense? Uncle Shi said that my spiritual root is unparalleled in the world, one in a thousand, and I will definitely be able to fly to the immortal in the future. ”

"Could it be...... Could it be that Uncle Shi lied to me? ”

Jiang Yang stretched out his hand and scratched his brows, and arrived home in confusion for a while.

Quack –

The male devil claw frog who was still alive was not afraid of Jiang Yang, and came to him in three steps and two jumps, raised his little head, stretched out his claws and pointed at his mouth, begging for food.

Jiang Yang was distressed, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he casually reached into the bamboo basket on his waist, and took out two earthworms and threw them in front of it.

The devil's claw frog's eyes lit up, and it jumped in front of it, its tongue curled.

Quickly swallow delicious earthworms into your stomach and feast on them.

"Forget it, I don't want to do so much, how could Uncle Shi lie to me?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"It must be that I'm not trying hard enough, it must be like this...... While it's still early, kill another devil's claw frog and maybe break through. ”

Jiang Yang could only comfort himself like this in his heart.

But the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the visual range is no more than three meters.

It's hard to hunt a claw frog in such weather conditions.

Jiang Yang thought like this, his heart was worried, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the devil's claw frog beside him, who was burying his head in cooking.

“？”

The devil's claw frog, which was trying to cook, suddenly felt a chill behind him, and the chill was biting.

A question mark slowly popped up on its forehead, twisted its neck stiffly, and glanced back at Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang rubbed his hands and smiled: "Or?" You sacrifice ......."

Before he finished speaking, the devil's claw frog kicked its hind legs and was about to flee. Jiang Yang's eyes were quick, and he held it down: "Just kidding, hurry up and eat, let's go home after eating, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, don't let Uncle Shi wait." ”

This male claw frog was the number one contributor to his success in capturing 9,999 female claw frogs.

Jiang Yang was reluctant to kill it.

If it weren't for the fact that it would lie on a large bluestone every night to attract females.

I really can't catch the agile devil's claw frog.

One person and one frog, embarrassed, have been in trouble for ten years.

In other words, it has been ten years since Jiang Yang came to this world called Kyushu......

Ten years ago, Jiang Yang was a prospective graduate student who had just graduated from college.

He successfully enrolled in the university with the second best grade in his major.

The day after learning the good news, Jiang Yang was hit by the third driver!

Oh, jealousy makes people unrecognizable!

When he woke up again, Jiang Yang found that he had inexplicably traveled to this strange world.

The reason why it is said to be bizarre is because there are demons and monsters, evil spirits, immortals with swords, Confucian scholars who wield pencils and rebuke Fang Xuan, and monks from the West and the Dragon King of the East China Sea......

Jiang Yang's predecessor was a handsome young man, his parents were all killed by demons, and he was saved from the demons thanks to the Taoist path of Qingyuanguan.

Jiang Yang himself was tested to find a superb spiritual root, and since then he has followed his master and uncle to practice in the contemplation, hoping that one day he can cultivate the Great Dao and take revenge.

But I don't know if it's because of the desire for revenge and the instability of the Dao heart.

Although the original owner has a superb spiritual root, he has a good teacher to teach.

But he has never been able to break through the small Qi refining period and go further.

Over time, the original owner went mad in a cultivation and died.

At this time, I can only sigh with emotion.

It's really impermanent......

It is said that the original master has been stuck in the Qi refining period for a long time, and during this time, he has tried countless ways to break through the realm.

For example, in the ordinary, close your eyes and meditate, and breathe in your true qi to run the week.

Another example, a little stronger, take pills......

But obviously, none of these methods could make the original owner break through the Qi Refining Period.

It also made the already thin family of the sect even worse, and once reached the point where it was about to be unable to open the pot.

However, there is no endless road, and Uncle Shi found another method in ancient books:

Feel in the battle and break through strongly.

Jiang Yang strictly followed the plan made by his uncle: fight!

Kill the claw frog!

This kill is ten years!

For ten years, Jiang Yang carried a frog trapping knife in his hand, killing from south to north, from west to east, without blinking his eyes......

In the past ten years, every time Jiang Yang kills a devil's claw frog, he feels that he is one step closer to breaking the realm.

But it's always a little bit worse, just a little bit.

It's like that membrane, it breaks when you poke it.

————

Halfway through the night, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the frogs chirped......

No frog chirping.

Scared to be killed.

Waiting for his partner Devil's Claw Frog to eat and take the initiative to jump on his shoulder, Jiang Yang immediately got up and rushed back.

Today was also a day when he didn't break the realm, but he got used to it.

Come back tomorrow!

Practice...... What is needed is perseverance and perseverance.

The road back to the view is winding, and faintly, you can hear the rumbling sound of a waterfall in the distance.

Qingyuan Temple is built on the mountainside, next to a waterfall.

The mountain gate is composed of two mottled stone pillars, and the plaque that has gone through the years hangs crookedly on the forehead of the door, and the three empty characters of "Qingyuan View" are written.

The Taoist temple in the middle of the night is silent, only the sound of the waterfall.

Straight through the front yard, Jiang Yang came to the backyard.

In the backyard of the Taoist temple, several small bamboo buildings are built high, which are usually used to live in people.

Master's bamboo building was as dark as ever.

Seven years ago, Master suddenly traveled all over the world and has not returned.

However, the bamboo building of Uncle Shi is still lit, and a graceful figure can be faintly seen.

Jiang Yang secretly admired it for a while, turned around and went back to his bamboo building, combed his hair into an adult, and changed into a set of handsome clothes......

resolutely entered the bamboo building of the uncle.

As a rule, he had to report the results of his daily battles to his uncle, and he would receive his uncle's nightly encouragement......
