Since he knew the huge value of the spirit stone, Xiao Tian had worked harder than before, and he couldn't wait to cultivate day and night.

Xiao Jingnan was very relieved to see it, but he also reminded Xiaotian:

"Apprentice, you are very happy to work hard as a teacher. However, there is a limit to everything, and the so-called overreach. You can't get rid of the valley now, and your body is easily tired, so you shouldn't be overworked. If you are obsessed with cultivation, you will have demons in your heart. ”

When Xiao Tian heard this, he also felt that he had been a little tired from cultivating recently, although his cultivation had improved a lot, but he was still far from the second layer, so he didn't have to rush it.

However, in the following days, although Xiaotian was not so reluctant to work day and night, he was much more diligent than before. In the past, Xiaotian had already worked harder than others, and he didn't go out much except when he ate, and now he rarely goes out, except for practicing and reading books.

When Xiao Tian came back from the Yang family, he asked Xiao Jingnan to let the little girl come here to help clean up, Xiao Jingnan did not object, but just asked not to delay the practice, and later saw Xiao Tian's hard work, so he didn't say anything.

Since then, Yang Wenmeng has been coming three times a day, just as diligently as he used to go to Huayue Tower in the past. In addition to helping the master and apprentice clean up, he also sent food to Xiaotian. Since Yang Wenmeng came, the residence of the master and apprentice has been cleaned up in an orderly manner, and it is no longer as sloppy as before. It's just that the master on the second floor didn't let me go, and it was still the same as before.

Master's second-floor Xiaotian has also been there many times, and there is nothing hidden here, what can't be seen. Master doesn't despise mortals like other monks, and he is quite polite to Yang Wenmeng, Xiao Tian really can't figure it out, could it be that Master actually likes to be sloppy?

Except for chatting for a while while eating, Yang Wenmeng didn't talk to Xiaotian much, for fear of delaying his cultivation. But when Xiaotian meditates or reads, she always sits on the side, just looking at Xiaotian all the time.

Time passed day by day, fulfilling and happy, in less than a year, Xiao Tian had completed the cultivation of the second layer of Qi training, which was shorter than the time used to practice the first layer.

Since Xiaotian's success in building the foundation, Xiao Jingnan has often gone out and gone out for a trip, as short as a month or as long as a few months, and often comes back with injuries. Xiao Tian asked him, and Xiao Jingnan only said that he was going to do some sect tasks.

Xiao Jingnan is a protector of the Yuanxu Sect's Demon Descending Hall, which as the name suggests, is to punish demons and kill demon beasts. However, immortal cultivators are not righteous supermen, and thankless things such as punishing demons and evil spirits will not be done at all, and the tasks issued by the Demon Suppression Hall are basically profitable things like hunting demon beasts.

Demon beasts can be treasures all over their bodies, and the skin, hair, and bones on their bodies can be used as refining materials, and high-level demon beasts can also be obtained by demon spirit blood and even demon beast inner pills.

In fact, the Yuanxu Sect stipulates that after the cultivator accepts the first apprentice, he can have a year without doing tasks and concentrate on the disciple. But this Xiao Jingnan is different, he often continues to stay outside after completing the task, and destroys the demons and evils that harm the world one by one. Even when he didn't have a task, he often went down the mountain to punish demons and eliminate evil, and eradicated all the demon beasts and evil cultivators he encountered that endangered mortals, which was quite chivalrous.

When Xiao Tian first met Xiao Jingnan, the messy old man who fought with him was an evil cultivator he pursued. The old man hid in King Kang's shop and captured the villagers of several villages in the distance to practice the blood sacrifice. If it weren't for Xiao Jingnan, Xiao Tian and the others would probably have been poisoned.

Most of the other immortal cultivators are extremely indifferent, how can they care about the life and death of the living, and there are even evil cultivators who practice with the living. Xiao Jingnan's behavior naturally made many monks look unpleasant, but he still did not change his style and acted chivalrous and righteous everywhere, which was related to his experience before he went to the mountain to cultivate.

Xiao Jingnan was born in a mortal martial arts family, and has also studied martial arts since he was a child, yearning for chivalrous fame. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he already had a great reputation, and he married a beautiful wife, and he was full of ambition in his career and happy in his family.

But only a few years later, when his son was drinking full moon wine, a group of demons slipped into the guests and attacked his house. Only he and his wife and children ran away separately, and his parents, brothers and even the whole family were killed. In just one night, his wife was separated and his family was destroyed.

Later, he joined the Yuanxu faction by chance, and after cultivating successfully, he went down the mountain to find his enemies, wife and children, and more than 20 years have passed. Later, he finally found his son, only to learn that his wife had long since died, and his son had not broken off the family inheritance and had been practicing hard in the hope of revenge. After joining forces with his son to take revenge, Xiao Jingnan returned to the mountain, and often went down the mountain to do chivalrous deeds in addition to cultivation, and it has been hundreds of years now.

It's a pity that his descendants don't have spiritual roots, so they can't go up the mountain to cultivate with him, and they don't want to live like other mortals on the mountain, so they just continue the life of a martial arts family in the mortal world, as if there is a big sect now. Now his son and grandson have been dead for many years, and even his great-grandson died a few years ago, and he has cultivated to the bottleneck of the sixth layer of the middle stage of cultivation, and he has lived for more than three hundred years, and now he only looks like a thirty-something.

Every time Xiao Jingnan came back, he would also give Xiao Tian some magic weapons and pills that the evil cultivator had confiscated, which would be of great help to Xiao Tian's cultivation.

Speaking of which, Xiao Jingnan is really good to Xiao Tian, not to mention rewarding other people's masters, they often ask their disciples to be filial, and Xiao Jingnan not only never hinted that Xiao Tian should be filial, but also often gave him some pills to assist in cultivation.

Back then, he accepted Xiaotian as an apprentice, not just to deal with official business, but he felt that he had a lot of fate with Xiaotian, and he felt the poverty of mortal life, and he really wanted to cultivate Xiaotian. After getting along with each other for several years, Xiao Tian also found that the master was much stronger than other people's masters, and after inquiring about the master's behavior and chivalrous deeds, he also admired the master more and more.

Thanks to Xiao Jingnan's continuous gift of pills, Xiao Tian's cultivation also improved faster, otherwise, no matter how hard Xiao Tian tried, he would not be able to cultivate the second level of Qi cultivation within a year.

Xiao Tian successively got two medium-grade magic weapons from Xiao Jingnan, and several mortal magic weapons, Xiao Jingnan originally wanted to give a high-grade magic weapon, but considering that Xiao Tian's cultivation was too low and his age was too young, it would really become a child holding gold and swaggering through the market.

Among those ritual weapons, there was an ordinary flying magic weapon, which was a magic weapon like a raft. After Xiao Jingnan taught Xiao Tian the Imperial Weapon, Xiao Tian flew excitedly.

After flying crookedly for a while, Xiao Tian became familiar with the operation method, steadily inputting spiritual power into the raft from under his feet, learning from the master, flying around with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Xiaotian was too addicted and flew towards Yang's house at the bottom of the mountain.
