She quickly packed up her talisman-drawing tools, washed her brushes, handed them to Qing Xuanzi, and happily went to find food.

The next day, the four of them returned to the plum blossom stake site and discovered that a set of small plum blossom stakes had been added next to the large plum blossom stakes.

Rong Jiaojiao looked up at the newly appeared plum blossom stakes and asked, "Master, is this Jiaobao's plum blossom stake?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Jiaobao, would you like to go up and try now?"

"Yes." The answer was firm and confident.

Although she was short, the plum blossom stakes that Qing Xuanzi had custom-made for her made it easy for her to reach them.

"Master, I'm going up now."

Qing Xuanzi nodded slightly: "Watch your step, safety first."

"knew!"

By the time he could reply, he had already stepped onto the shortest wooden stake.

With a tense expression, Rong Jiaojiao tried her best to maintain her balance and carefully took another step forward.

The distance between the wooden stakes today was just right for her short legs, so after landing steadily, she became much bolder.

"Jiaobao, keep going!" Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan also cheered her on from the side.

Rong Jiaojiao became even more confident after hearing her brothers' encouragement.

She moved forward step by step, and although she wobbled and fell halfway, she was caught by Qing Xuanzi with magic. But the little one was not discouraged and got up to continue.

This was also thanks to Qing Xuanzi watching over her and preventing her from falling to the ground, which gave her the courage to try again and again.

But Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan weren't so lucky. They could only try to save themselves when they were about to fall. However, the two of them did not back down and kept falling and getting back on the stakes.

They have made great progress today compared to yesterday. Although they still lose their balance occasionally, they are able to control their bodies better and even land steadily during some difficult jumps.

"Zhigao, your movements are getting smoother and smoother. Keep it up," Qingxuanzi encouraged from the side.

Rong Zhigao nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Qingxuan, I will."

Rong Zhiyuan was not to be outdone, and perhaps because he was thinner, he made more noticeable progress.

He successfully jumped over a taller stake and landed steadily on the next one.

"Zhiyuan is also very good!" Qingxuanzi nodded in approval.

Upon hearing the praise, Rong Zhiyuan's face lit up with a smile, and he said happily, "Thank you, Uncle Qingxuan! I will continue to work hard!"

Meanwhile, Rong Jiaojiao became increasingly steady on the small plum blossom stakes. Although she would occasionally fall off, under Qing Xuanzi's protection, she became bolder and faster in her walking.

"Jiaobao, you've done very well. Don't rush, take your time." Facing his beloved disciple, Qing Xuanzi's voice unconsciously softened.

Rong Jiaojiao nodded, adjusted her breathing, and stepped onto the wooden stake again.

Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan slowed down and finally succeeded in walking across the wooden stake once.

But Qing Xuanzi simply nodded, his face expressionless. He said, "You'll only be considered successful when you can clear the level quickly. Keep up the good work."

The two continued climbing...

An hour later, after repeated progress, Rong Jiaojiao had successfully passed most of the wooden stakes and was only a few stakes away from passing the test. Just as she was about to get up and continue, Qing Xuanzi called her back.

As the sun grew stronger, Qing Xuanzi called out to them, "Alright, that's enough for this morning. Let's go back and rest."

The three of them climbed down from the tree stump, their legs trembling. Rong Jiaojiao quickly cast a healing spell on herself, then skipped away as if nothing had happened.

The two older brothers were left behind, grimacing and trembling as they followed.

Qing Xuanzi smiled and tossed a few healing talismans to the two of them, who immediately became energetic again.

Rong Zhiyuan asked in confusion, "Uncle Qingxuan, didn't you say that using the healing talisman would affect the medicinal bath's effect? ​​Why did you give it to us?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "It will affect the effect, but you still have training this afternoon, so you can stop using the healing talisman then. The impact won't be too great."

Rong Zhigao pleaded, "Uncle, you don't need to use healing talismans on us anymore. We can manage."

He didn't want anything to affect his progress. Although Rong Zhiyuan wanted to feel comfortable after each training session, he wanted to become stronger, so he agreed with his brother.

Qing Xuanzi was even more satisfied with the two of them. He asked, "I have a formula that can help you accumulate internal energy faster. If you use it, it might allow you to break through to the late stage of Martial Life in just over ten days."

"But this prescription has a drawback: when absorbing the medicinal power, it will make people feel numb and itchy all over their body, like being bitten by ants. Would you dare to use it?"

Rong Zhigao spoke first: "Uncle Qingxuan, I dare to use it!"

Rong Zhiyuan, who always did whatever his older brother did, also chimed in without hesitation: "Uncle, I dare to use it too, I want to use it too."

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Then I'll let you use it tonight. If you want it to be even more effective, train harder this afternoon."

The two brothers exchanged a glance and nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Back in the courtyard, the two of them quickly and automatically started preparing lunch.

Qing Xuanzi set out a table, and Rong Jiaojiao obediently stood over.

Qing Xuanzi took out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that Rong Jiaojiao used for practice and placed them on the table: "Jiaobao, continue practicing the Blazing Flame Talisman today. You have already mastered a lot, so try to draw it completely today."

Rong Jiaojiao mentally traced the runes she had learned yesterday, feeling confident that she could draw them. She nodded confidently and said, "Master, I think I can definitely draw them successfully today!"

Qing Xuanzi raised an eyebrow at her, gestured with his chin, and said, "Let's begin!"

Rong Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows like her, then picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, took a deep breath, and began to draw on the practice paper.

Her movements were more skillful than before, and her runes were smoother. She moved in one go without any pause.

Before long, she had drawn the complete rune pattern of the Flame Rune.

Qing Xuanzi stood to the side, his eyes fixed on her movements.

He saw that Rong Jiaojiao's runes were already very complete, and he couldn't help but nod in approval.

"Master, how do you think my drawing is?" Rong Jiaojiao handed the paper with the drawn talisman to Qing Xuanzi for a look.

Qing Xuanzi took it. The flame runes on the paper were already very complete, and the runes were smooth. If it were drawn on the talisman paper with cinnabar and infused with spiritual power, it could be used.

"Jiaobao, you've succeeded! You can draw it on the talisman now!" Qingxuanzi acknowledged.

Upon hearing this, Rong Jiaojiao's face lit up with a bright smile, and she asked her master again to confirm, "Did I really succeed?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded, took out talisman paper, talisman brush, and talisman ink, and said, "Come on, draw it on the talisman paper now."

"Yes, Master!"

Rong Jiaojiao tugged at her sleeves, as if she were about to embark on a major undertaking.

She picked up the talisman brush, her face immediately becoming serious and focused. Dipping it in talisman ink, she began to draw carefully on the talisman paper.
