What do you need the money for?

“Father, I have been studying at the Taoist academy since I was a child, and I have had a very hard time over the years. After returning home, I have no savings to rely on. I feel uneasy and can't do anything. It just so happens that Granny Yang said she needed money, so I came to ask you for some.”

He knew Yang Mama; she was the head maid under Zhang Shi. How did she get involved again?

"Nonsense! Your dowry is only for when you get married. You're so young now and don't know how to manage these things. How can you listen to the servants' nonsense? Go back now."

Master Jiang impatiently shooed the man away, inwardly grumbling about the meddlesome servant.

Bai Chongjiang didn't argue with him.

She turned around and ran back to her own courtyard. As soon as she reached the gate, she saw that Granny Yang was gone, and the two maids were nowhere to be found.

She made hand seals with lightning speed, silently chanting as she coordinated the flow of spiritual energy within her body.

"Earth Dragon Turnover Technique!"

A yellowish-brown aura swirled and condensed into a serpentine phantom that shot towards the ground.

The ground churned, like boiling water. Three waves of earth passed. The east wing and the courtyard wall had collapsed.

Bai Chongjiang raised her hand and fanned away the billowing dust. Looking at her masterpiece, she was very satisfied.

After consistently practicing during this period, the success rate of my spells has indeed increased significantly.

She looked at the tangled bamboo forest and muttered to herself, "It would be faster to cut this with Wind Blade, but I don't know how."

Ajahn has five spiritual roots and can use spells of each of the five elements, but wind spells are spells that can only be used by those with mutated wind spiritual roots.

She has no wind elemental root, nor does she know the incantation or hand seals for wind blade techniques.

After thinking about it, I couldn't find a suitable spell, so I had no choice but to chop it down.

A-Jiang took out a glowing longsword from his storage bag and casually swung it at the grass and trees inside and outside the yard.

As soon as she cut one down, the Jiang family's guards surrounded her courtyard.

Suddenly, there was a magical fluctuation in the house, followed by smoke and dust spreading. This had never happened before, which startled the guards.

Master Jiang also rushed over, and looking at the half-collapsed courtyard and the little boy in the yard, he stammered, "What, what happened here?"

Bai Chongjiang frowned. It was such a simple thing, why did he look so surprised, as if the sky had fallen? He really had no sense of right and wrong.

"My daughter is tidying up the yard."

It seemed that this was the first time Master Jiang had truly looked at his daughter.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

This daughter will be 14 years old soon, but she is really short and thin. She is not good-looking either, wearing ill-fitting clothes, with messy hair, and standing in the yard looking disheveled.

Behind her was a courtyard wall that had collapsed halfway, and uneven ground; it looked like the end of the world.

She was also carrying a glowing sword, which turned out to be a mid-grade spiritual weapon. Judging from her expression, she was using this sword to chop bamboo.

"Renovate the yard? I think you're just tearing the house down!"

He pointed at the sword: "Where did this sword come from?"

Magical artifacts are divided into magic treasures, spiritual treasures, immortal artifacts, and divine artifacts. Each level has three tiers. Even the Bai family doesn't have more than two mid-tier spiritual treasures, yet this child is using a spiritual treasure to chop bamboo and complaining that it's not handy.

He was furious.

Bai Chongjiang raised the sword in his hand and looked at the bamboo on the ground.

"This sword was a gift from my friend. She's a sword cultivator and has a lot of swords, so she just gave me one."

The sword was a gift from Linglong. Although Linglong had many swords, this was one of the best in her collection. When she encountered danger in the Qingqiu Illusion, she took out her belongings to share, and this sword was one of them.

After the crisis passed, Ah Jiang wanted to return the gifts, but she said that she didn't want things back after giving them away, and that she didn't need them anyway, so Ah Jiang kept them.

“My daughter is planning to cut down these poorly growing bamboos, but this sword is not very useful. Is there an axe at home that would be easier to use? Ideally, it would be a magical artifact.”

She didn't know how to use a sword; although it was a good weapon, she only used it to cut trees and grass.
