In this way, under Liu Qing's gaze, Lao Huang used a kind of water system to drink the wine in the wine jar skillfully.

Then, it raised its head and "mooed" twice towards Liu Qing.

As if to thank him.

Liu Qing was surprised and also smiled back at Lao Huang.

At this time, Li Lao, who was standing on the side, walked in front of Lao Huang and patted his head lightly.

"You old thing, have you drunk enough?"

"We'll go home when we're full!"

After getting Lao Huang's response, Li Lao got up suddenly, and the whole person fell on the back of the cow.

After saying hello to Liu Qing, one person and one cow quickly disappeared.

In the courtyard, only Liu Qing, who was dazed, was still in a daze.

Regarding this sudden appearance of Li Lao, although there are a lot of doubts about him, Liu Qing still didn't figure it out.

But from beginning to end, Li Lao did not do anything unfavorable to Liu Qing.

This also made Liu Qing dispel the idea of continuing to study the matter.

His main task now is to work hard to cultivate and improve his realm, and at the same time, to learn as many spiritual techniques as he can.

Strive to pass the sect assessment and enter the outer gate with an excellent result.

"There are still about three months left before the sect assessment, and I have to hurry up."

After two times of fishing in Sword Lake, Liu Qing's current spiritual stone reserves are quite sufficient, and some of the pills used in cultivation are also complete.

After Li Lao and Lao Huang left, he immediately prepared to enter the state of cultivation.

Sit cross-legged on the ground and run the green spirit decision.

This time, Liu Qing took out ten Qi Gathering Pills from the storage ring in advance.

This afternoon, he was going to try to see if he could go further in the realm and successfully break through to the middle stage of the fourth layer of Qi cultivation.

As the minutes ticked by, the sun outside began to set in the west.

The aura that permeated the surroundings began to pour wildly towards Liu Qing's position, and beads of sweat began to drip down his forehead.

About two hours later, Liu Qing's closed eyes began to slowly open.

Feeling the more abundant spiritual power in his body, he suddenly felt happy in his heart.

"In the middle of the fourth layer of Qi training, it's done!"

Now his strength is enough to rank in the forefront of the entire ranks of registered disciples.

This also means that he has enough qualifications to enter the second round of the sect assessment.

The gap that was opened up by the rest of the people in the first two and a half years because of the waste of cultivation was finally caught up by Liu Qing now.

"After that, I just need to continue at the usual pace of cultivation and focus more on learning spiritual skills."

Because according to what Elder Hao said before.

In the sect assessment, what ultimately determines what a disciple can pass is not the level of the realm, but the quantity and quality of the spiritual skills mastered.

Therefore, the first round of realm assessment is only a threshold set for the second round of assessment.

In the end, the ranking of the disciples' results is still calculated according to their spiritual skills.

Now Liu Qing has mastered a total of six spiritual skills.

Although the quality of spiritual skills such as Divine Movement and Transfiguration is not bad, they are not superior in quantity.

Just yesterday, Liu Qing heard about it when he came back from Sword Lake and passed by the Library.

There are already registered disciples who have learned more than seven spiritual techniques.

And there is more than one such disciple.

These are strong competitors for Liu Qinglai.

"The competition in the sect assessment is becoming more and more fierce, and the time is becoming more and more tight."

"It seems that I still have to hurry up and learn a few more spiritual skills."

However, before learning spiritual skills, Liu Qing still had to solve his hunger problem first.

After an afternoon of hard cultivation, his whole body was already hungry with his chest pressed against his back.

The few dishes he made at noon were all eaten by Li Lao, and now Liu Qing can only make them again if he wants to eat.

Fortunately, there were still some reserved ingredients left in his house, so he simply fried two side dishes for himself, and Liu Qing drank another pot of rice wine.

After being full of wine and food, Liu Qing played with flowers and plants in the yard again.

It's autumn and chrysanthemums of all colors are blooming.

Liu Qing was really itchy to watch.

So he specially picked some good chrysanthemums and prepared to fry them with those tea leaves when the time came.

Make a chrysanthemum tea to enjoy it.

After fully recovering his state, Liu Qing returned to the house, ready to continue learning spiritual skills.

The last time Jiang Yu gave him a few spiritual techniques, he only learned one disguise technique.

I also learned the technique by accident while reading the Angler's Primer.

In the end, only the three techniques of water escape, earth escape, and wood escape were left that had not been learned.

In addition, Liu Qing's storage ring also contained a true secret book that Li Lao gave him when he left.

After learning from yesterday's experience, the current Liu Qing doesn't think that the book that Li Lao gave him is really about fishing.

Set your eyes on the three books of retreat neatly placed on the table.

"These are relatively basic spiritual skills, and judging from my current comprehension ability, it shouldn't take too much time to learn them."

Then, Liu Qing's eyes fell on the tattered cheats given by Li Lao when he left.

"When Elder Li was leaving, he told me many times to study this book well, and now that I am in good shape, it is better to start by studying it."

After taking the cheats book that was not very good, Liu Qing saw that its cover was still a few big characters "Angler's Primer's Manual" written in Xingshu.

But this cover was clearly added later.

Liu Qing flicked his right hand on the surface of the book, and the seven big characters quickly disappeared.

In its place were six other words.

The art of dead wood in spring.

"I guess that's the original name of this spiritual skill."

Let's just say that the spiritual skills of various attributes that I learned earlier, as well as the disguise technique and several escape methods that I have not learned, Liu Qing has more or less heard of them.

But this technique of dead wood in spring, Liu Qing had never heard of it before.

However, judging from its name, this should be a relatively advanced spiritual skill.

With excitement, Liu Qing's right hand was lightly clasped on the writing, and he began to enter the state of learning.

Minutes and seconds passed......

After more than ten minutes, Liu Qing finally understood the preface of this spiritual technique thoroughly.

I finally have a preliminary understanding of this spiritual skill.

Dead Wood Spring: Originally, it was a tree that was about to die and was suddenly stimulated by some kind of force to come back to life.

That's exactly what this spiritual skill means.

It is about the person who has mastered this spiritual skill, when he is in an extremely dangerous desperate situation.

Even if the aura is exhausted and the body is broken.

But as long as there is still a breath left, you can return to your peak state by casting the Deadwood Spring Technique.

After thoroughly understanding the technique of dead wood spring, Liu Qing was overjoyed.

"This should be the highest-grade spiritual skill I've been exposed to so far."

"Dead wood is spring, dead wood is spring, if I learn it, the next time I encounter something like a succubus, I can enjoy the ultimate happiness!"
