A few days later, in the pine forest courtyard.

Loran Hill held a pine sword in his hand and swung it from slow to fast. The long sword created gusts of air, which rolled up the fallen leaves in the yard and made them spin and fly with the air flow.

The young woman in a white dress and soft, light-colored cloth shoes walked through the courtyard, her steps like the gentle tapping of stars. Her body twirled, and pale blue dots of light shot out from her sword, hovering in the air. Then, these dots of light merged into a single mass, resembling a constellation in the night sky, or a web of magical energy, emitting a chilling aura.

Skill: [Xidou Lianxing Sword Technique Lv.3] (Rare): This skill, passed down from the Yellow Bird, one of the Five Phoenixes, was originally exclusive to the Jietian Dao (Magic Sequence). It was later improved within the sect and can also be practiced by other Sequences. It has considerable combat power, but its greatest use is in creating Lianxing formations and casting spells (Magic).

Because it encompasses so many aspects (steps, luck, moves, and spellcasting), it serves as a foundation for new disciples. Once mastered, other techniques will become readily accessible. This is a sword technique that all disciples of the Xiangyu School and its offshoots learn.

After reading the basic training methods in the classics, Loran Hill also began to practice, and the first thing he chose was the sword technique in this school that was easy to learn but difficult to master.

The Xidou Lianxing Sword Technique consists of nine levels. Generally speaking, reaching the second level of the outer sect is considered passing. The inner sect has higher requirements, requiring the fourth level, and no further requirements are required. Because the difficulty increases exponentially with each level, those who are not specialized in this technique would be better off dedicating their time and energy to practicing other secret techniques.

While purely in terms of swordplay, this set wasn't as good as the ones Roland Hill had learned from other witches, it did have its own unique strengths in terms of power generation and formations, allowing for faster concentration of spells (magic) and increased power. Furthermore, because this set of swordplay was based on a star map, Roland Hill felt a sense of familiarity while learning it, and his comprehension and practice progressed significantly faster.

In just two days, she easily mastered the skill to the third level. Other disciples, even geniuses, would need more than half a year of practice to reach the same level.

After the practice session, a pale blue, transparent star map appeared above the courtyard, filtering out the intense sunlight and bringing a cooler, more comfortable feeling. Two birds chirped cheerfully, and the dark-capped blue jay was particularly happy. As a member of the Undead Order, it preferred to stay in the shade.

Taking back the pine sword in his hand, Loran Hill returned to the attic, put the sword on the table, and began to read through the three methods of practice.

I really want to learn after reading this. Loran Hill flipped through the pages of the book, looking at the vivid design drawings, explanations and parameters. I felt deeply the vastness of the major sequences. Just one of them was divided into so many fields.

At this moment, she was like standing at a crossroads, with roads in all directions, and all the roads were filled with beautiful and colorful scenery, all with blooming flowers, attracting attention.

Should she specialize in one discipline, or study multiple? Loran Hill fell into deep thought. Compared to ordinary people, she had more options and could switch sequences at any time, but time and energy were ultimately limited. Sometimes, studying too many skills wouldn't necessarily be as effective as focusing on one.

After thinking for a while, she shook her head again. It was difficult to draw a conclusion now, so she decided to let the system deduce the practice methods of these sequences. With the classics of the Xiangyu School, she knew more new practice methods.

[The system is accepting data....]

The classics of the outer sect of the Xiangyu Sect began to flip through quickly, and then the inheritance gem also emitted a faint light. Countless pieces of information flowed quickly, and various information flickered and changed.

[Accepted, analysis in progress, ...2%......8%...]

It took so long last time, so this time will probably take quite a while too, Loran Hill thought. But there was no rush, so she walked out of the house.

The courtyard is still quiet, and you can hear the singing of birds and the chirping of cicadas in the treetops.

She came to the kitchen on the side of the courtyard, pushed open the door and walked in.

It has been a long time since I cooked for myself. The last time I cooked was when I was barbecuing with Yu Baichou in the mountains. I wonder if Uncle Yu has returned to Nanfengzhou now.

While Loran Hill was thinking, he picked up a small bowl and scooped out a bowl of rice, then took clean water from the water tank beside him and started to wash it.

The white rice soup ripples in the water. When you put your fingers into it, you will feel a burst of coolness. Rub it carefully and then change it repeatedly. The rice water in the white dish will gradually become clear, and you can see the translucent rice grains below.

After washing, Loran Hill poured it into the pot, covered it with a wooden lid, placed it on a small triangular stove, and lit the fire to cook.

Seeing that it would take some time for the food to be cooked, Loran Hill prepared to cut the vegetables, but a mechanical sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Is it so fast this time? The girl blinked and looked at the virtual screen in front of her.
