"How do we find it? I don't know what things contain spiritual energy. Are things like jade all of that?" Jian Anping was clueless about these things.

"Brother, I've told you to practice more, but you're always slacking off. You're already at the second level of Qi Refining. How can you not sense whether objects outside contain spiritual energy?"

Go back and hold the jade I gave you last time; really savor it.

How can you try to take shortcuts with something like this? My cultivation level isn't high enough. I can't sense any spiritual energy, so I can't help him either.

"Okay, I understand, Xiao Ning. Thank you for the life-saving item you gave your sister-in-law today. From now on, I'll listen to you. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west."

Jian Anping wasn't good with words. Giving this life-saving item to Li Mengyao made him even happier than giving it to him.

"I understand. Call me if you need anything when you get back."

Jian Ning was looking forward to going to the Linglong Pavilion again today to try her luck. She didn't expect to pass, but at least she could see the results of her training and what the gap was.

“Okay, I’ll go out early tomorrow morning, when it won’t be hot yet. Please take care of things at home.” Jian Anping saw Jian Ning to the door and watched her go inside before going back inside.

As soon as Jian Ning entered the immortal mansion, Huang Fugui immediately came to greet her: "Master, when will you let me out?"

"It's no fun in here at all." "Don't rush, it's quite hot outside, and you're covered in fur. I'm worried you'll get heatstroke. Let's wait a bit longer!"

"I'm afraid of the heat, Master. You must be joking. If you don't want me to go out, just say so. Why use this excuse to lie to me?"

Huang Fugui wagged its tail, turned its head away haughtily, and pretended to be angry.

"How could it be that we don't want you to go out? How about I take you to play with Tian Tian for a while? Remember, you are absolutely not allowed to say a word."

"I understand, but of course not. Don't we have that much trust between us?"

"Hurry up, how about I take a crane with me? Let that little girl ride it around a couple of times?" Huang Fugui jumped onto Jian Ning and asked excitedly.

"No way! You're giving me enough headaches already. If you bring a crane along, it'll scare people." Jian Ning carried it out of the immortal mansion. They passed through the wall and arrived at the entrance of room 1603.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Well done, disciple! You've mastered the art of passing through walls quite well; you use it even better than I do!" Jian Ning wasn't surprised; instead, she turned her head and said with a smile.

"I'm definitely far from being a match for my master, so why did you come looking for me?" Although Xiao Lingfeng was very tired today, all his fatigue seemed to disappear as soon as he saw Jian Ning.

"No, Huang Fugui is bored staying at home, so I wanted him to play with Tian Tian for a while. You can take him inside. I have something to do, so I'll leave him at your place tonight. You don't need to feed him."

"Don't worry, Huang Fugui is very well-behaved and won't bite." Jian Ning said, placing the fluffy Huang Fugui, which was curled up in her hand, into Xiao Lingfeng's hand.

"Okay. Tian Tian will be very happy. Will you come over for breakfast tomorrow morning?" Xiao Lingfeng asked with a smile.

"No, I can't get up in the morning. I'll come and pick it up at noon."

"Huang Fugui, don't be naughty, understand? Otherwise, you won't be allowed to come out to play anymore." Jian Ning reminded it again, and Huang Fugui nodded excitedly.

Finally free! Able to play happily away from its owner's sight. It longed to roar to the heavens, but could only suppress its urge.

"You should get some rest too, I'm going back now."

Jian Ning tapped Huang Fugui on the head, warning it not to get carried away and speak. Then she went straight through the wall back to her own room.

Xiao Lingfeng smiled slightly as he watched her graceful departure.

He glanced down at the little animal in his arms. Its eyes, as clear as black glass, were very bright. When it saw Xiao Lingfeng looking at it, it grinned and smiled in a friendly manner.

"Huang Fugui, right? I know you're not an ordinary animal; you can understand what I'm saying."

Tian Tian is a very cute little girl and loves animals. I hope you two have fun. Just remember one thing: absolutely no biting! Okay?

Huang Fugui curled his lip, treating him like an ordinary, unintelligent animal. He never bites people; if he gets angry, he just slaps him to death.

But it still nodded obediently, indicating that it understood. Only then did Xiao Lingfeng pick it up and open the door to go inside, satisfied.

No one bothered Jian Ning when she returned to the Immortal Abode this time, so she took out Ruoshui and went to the Linglong Pavilion.

When she went in this time, she took out a luminous pearl and put it in her pocket.

Stepping through the open door, the room remained pitch black. Only the luminous pearl in her pocket emitted a faint glow. Perhaps creatures of the dark dislike light.

As soon as Jian Ning stepped inside, she heard a faint whooshing sound, followed by a black, bat-like creature with a sharp beak that darted towards her. Its pointed beak aimed straight for her heart.

Jian Ning slightly shifted her body, and Ruoshui slashed out with her sword. In an instant, the bat-like creature turned into smoke and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, both of them charged at her at once, giving her no chance to think.

The layers kept multiplying endlessly. This time, Jian Ning persisted in the first floor for more than two hours until her strength was completely exhausted before she was thrown out.

"Still too weak, Fifth Liuli. You have seventy-eight days left." The aged voice rang out. It seemed that Jian Ning's performance was far from satisfactory.

"I refuse to believe it. I'll go all the way to the next floor!"

"You just wait, your joy won't last long." Jian Ning stood up angrily, gestured towards the door of the Linglong Pavilion, and then turned and ran away.

She went straight to the library. This time, her main focus was on finding sword manuals, the kind where a single sword strike could contain hundreds or thousands of sword techniques.

With a clear goal in mind, I went straight to the fourth floor, found the row of sword manuals, and started flipping through them from the beginning.

The names were all bizarre and unfamiliar to Jian Ning. There were names like "Phantom Sword Technique," "Invisible Sword Technique," and "Xiaoxiang Sword Technique." Further on, there was even one called "Blinking Sword Technique." None of these met her requirements.

I walked past the rows of bookshelves, and in the corner of the last row, I found a tattered ancient book with the title "Myriad Illusions Sword Technique" clearly written on the cover.

Hey, the name itself fits her requirements. When she opened it, the first line was: "Sword energy stretches across ten thousand miles, a single sword's cold light breaks through all laws!"

These words struck a chord with Jian Ning. She immediately made up her mind to learn it, putting everything else aside. It could break through all defenses with a single sword strike. Those ghost bats on the first level were definitely no match for this sword technique.

The rest depends on how much she can comprehend. Happily, she took the sword manual and went back into the stone chamber. She read through the entire manual from beginning to end. There were only nine moves in total, but it seemed that they could be transformed into countless variations.
