After several cycles of practicing Jiuhuo Jian Ge's Qi circulation, his withered Taoist foundation was finally rejuvenated.

With the continuous nourishment of that level of spiritual energy, I think it won't take long before I can fully recover or even make further progress.

But before that, he needed to do one more thing.

"Zhuohong! Come!"

The flying sword Zhuohong placed aside flew over slowly and landed in Tang Yan's hand.

Tang Yan was also not vague. He spread out his palms and a ball of spiritual fire with a strong aroma of wine emerged, completely covering the flying sword Zhuohong and burning it fiercely.

The red sword body was not damaged by this. Instead, it began to vibrate with excitement.

How can a fire-powered flying sword be afraid of fire?

Under the forging of the wine-flavored spiritual fire, the bent sword body is straightening up bit by bit. The dent that was previously caused by the corpse pill of the spiritual pill corpse demon is also slowly recovering to its flat state with the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy.

Jiang Li stood by, holding a spiritual pattern carving knife. From time to time, he reached into the spiritual fire and scratched the sword.

The cloud patterns carved on the flying sword were extremely complex, as if they were the result of an advanced technique that brought out the cloud patterns of the refining material itself.

Jiang Li couldn't understand it at his current level, but his talent in rune carving was indeed good. He could reconnect several disconnected lines based on the original patterns.

About two hours later, after Jiang Li sacrificed the sleeve of his right hand, the broken spiritual carvings were finally repaired.

The spiritual patterns on the flying sword also began to flash a faint red light as if breathing.

But the dent on the sword did not recover so quickly.

After all, it was caused by the attack of the golden elixir corpse demon. They were lucky that they were not broken into two pieces directly.

Jiang Li did a rough calculation in his head and concluded that at this rate, it would take at least seven days for the sword to return to its original state.

And during seven days, the speed at which spiritual energy is consumed to maintain this level of spiritual fire is definitely not something that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator can bear, and spiritual stones must be used.

The number of spirit stones needed to repair this flying sword alone would probably be enough to make an average Foundation Establishment cultivator go bankrupt several times over.

But for Jiang Li, it doesn't matter if it's a little longer. We don't lack this little bit of spiritual energy.

He temporarily stopped some of the spiritual energy flowing to the Yin Burial Coffin and the Dragon Prison Lock, and instead doubled the output to the sword cultivator Tang Yan.

Double the spiritual energy, double the spiritual fire, naturally means double the happiness. In this way, it will only take more than three days to completely repair this flying sword.

I can still wait for three days.

The only problem now is that this room is getting hotter and hotter and I can't stay here any longer. I have to find another place to practice.

. . . .

A few days later, Jiang Li came to the magic fighting arena of the Demon Subduing Hall early in the morning again. However, today, the one waiting for him was not the unlucky senior brother in the Qi training stage.

Instead, she was a senior sister with dark skin and tall figure.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, but still jumped onto the fighting stage.

"Senior sister, who are you?"

Jiang Li had never seen this senior sister in the sect, but the bright red tattoo on her neck gave Jiang Li some guesses about her identity.

However, the other party did not respond to Jiang Li's question, but looked Jiang Li up and down.

"Are you Jiang Li?"

The female cultivator asked in a rather domineering tone.

Jiang Li nodded in agreement, but said nothing more. He just stood there motionless and without saying anything.

The senior sister in front of him put on this expression as soon as they met. This is not good. This is not the way of getting along that Jiang Li likes.

The way people get along with each other is often determined when they first meet. So in order to avoid suffering from this kind of cold violence for a long time in the future, Jiang Li decided not to follow the other party's advice.

He was not interested in trying to please someone who didn't pay him any attention. The other party seemed to be used to being flattered by others and would not speak at all without some soft ground.

The atmosphere then became cold, and the two of them just stood there, staring at each other in a stalemate for a long time.

Jiang Li had a blank expression on his face, but in his heart he was looking at the appearance of the female cultivator opposite him with great interest.

Although he is tall, his angular and explosive muscles are still faintly visible under his clothes.

This might be a physical cultivator who is more inclined towards agility. Jiang Li judged so.

The practice of body skills has always been Jiang Li's pain point. Although his other practices are going smoothly and making rapid progress, only his body skills are driving Jiang Li crazy.

Well, the other practices were so smooth because of the help of the status bar.

However, his physical skills, which accounted for the vast majority of his movements, did not benefit him much. Instead, his excessively fast speed made him flustered and caused some obstacles.

Judging from the opponent's momentum, he is estimated to have more than just Qi training. If the opponent's speed is not inferior to his own, he will easily suffer a loss against such a nimble opponent.

The awkward stalemate lasted for several minutes. Jiang Li was calm and composed, but the other party was obviously not a social expert.

Looking at her dark skin, a flush of congestion was rapidly rising, and it was obvious that she still had some social phobia.

Jiang Li nodded secretly and ended the awkward confrontation in time.

"Senior sister is also Master's disciple, right? I have been Master's disciple for a long time, but I have never greeted Senior Sister. I am really sorry."

To get along with this kind of aloof, arrogant and slightly socially anxious senior sister, you should first confront her and get rid of some of her inexplicable aura.

Jiang Li's words were polite and powerful at the same time, which allowed him to take a certain initiative in the conversation between the two.

The senior sister opposite seemed to be a little relieved.

After all, Jiang Li was his junior fellow apprentice, so she couldn't just come up and start trouble without knowing the truth. She was also afraid of getting into that awkward conversation again, so she had to put aside the idea of ​​establishing her authority as a senior sister for the time being.

When he opened his mouth again, his tone softened a lot.

"Well, my name is Liu Mulan, you can call me Senior Sister Liu from now on."

The other party briefly introduced herself, and her name sounded a bit feminine.

"Okay, Senior Sister Mulan."

Jiang Li called out this very politely, causing Senior Sister Mulan to choke.

She wanted to retort that she should call her "Senior Sister Liu", but she couldn't find much fault with the way Jiang Li addressed her. If she emphasized it, it would seem like she was looking for trouble.

After a moment's silence, Senior Sister Mulan finally accepted the title.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, made the other party "compromise" slightly without realizing it.

This is a little trick to create future "friendly" social interactions.

"I heard before that the master accepted a new disciple, and I heard that you have a good talent for physical training."

"What is your current level?"

Senior Sister Mulan took a few steps forward, her feet moving like the wind. In just a few flashes, she was close to Jiang Li.

Well, the action is exactly the same as Elder He’s back then, both of them are extending their hands to pinch, is this the way of greeting used only by physical cultivators?

"Junior brother has mediocre talent. Currently, both his Qi training and his physical training are only in the middle stage."

Jiang Li took a step forward, dodged the other person's hand, and continued to ask.

"Senior Sister Mulan, where has Master gone recently? I haven't seen Master for more than a month. I miss him very much."

After saying this, Jiang Li felt disgusted by himself.

But the real reason is that the "Moon Roar Blood Mark" on Jiang Li's back is about to disappear, and Jiang Li is also asking Elder He to come back and give him the third tattoo.

That jar of medicinal soup is too expensive, and Jiang Li himself doesn’t know how to mix it.

"Master has been out for some important matters recently and cannot return to the valley for the time being. This time I am allowed to come back to teach you on your behalf and guide you in your next step of cultivation."

The Demon Subduing Hall's headmaster has to be away from home for such a long time, so I think it must be something serious.

Could it be that some demons have appeared outside again? Forget it, he was only in the Qi Refining Stage and couldn't care about these things. His current goal was to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Now that this senior sister has come back specially, I think she should be able to prepare the medicinal soup, and my next blood pattern should be able to be found.

However... The next moment, a small fist with a fierce wind hit Jiang Li's forehead directly.

Bang! Jiang Li raised his hand to block the fist.

The touch felt stiff, but the force was not strong. It should be that the other party underestimated Jiang Li's strength and deliberately reduced the force.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?"

Jiang Li asked in surprise.

"Since we are disciples of the Demon Subduing Hall, then subduing demons is naturally the best way to practice. However, your cultivation is still shallow and your strength is too weak. I am not sure if you are qualified to follow me."

"If you can take three of my punches without falling off the ring, I will take you out of the valley."

“This counts as the first punch!”

As expected, like master, like disciple. Wouldn't his other senior brothers and sisters be so violent? The fist that was blocked by Jiang Lige suddenly exerted force again. The small fist was filled with a tsunami-like force. Jiang Li was caught off guard and was pushed out.

“Second punch!”

Jiang Li finally adjusted his center of gravity and stopped at the edge of the fighting arena. However, before he could make any other moves, Senior Sister Mulan followed him like a shadow and punched him again.

If he was hit by this punch, he would definitely be thrown out of the field. However, it was too late for him to dodge.

Puff! Jiang Li was in a hurry and spoke quickly, spraying a mouthful of spiritual energy at the opponent's head. The Yin attribute spiritual energy sprayed on the opponent's face. Senior Sister Mulan was blinded and closed her eyes instinctively.

Jiang Li took the opportunity to duck and avoid the punch, then used the momentum to hit the opponent's chest and abdomen like a demon ape crashing into a mountain, using his well-tempered shoulders to slam into the opponent's chest and abdomen.

Bang! With a dull crash, Jiang Li pushed the opponent forward alive, plowing two grooves up to his ankles on the rocky ground.

However... she didn't fly! Jiang Li thought to himself that this was not good. This senior sister was definitely a physical cultivator at the foundation-building level. Her strength was not weaker than his, and she was even stronger than him.

Without acceleration and accumulation of momentum, the power of the Zhuangshan Sutra is not enough to create an advantage.

"Junior brother, you are really strong. This is the third punch!"

Senior Sister Mulan held Jiang Li's shoulder with one hand to prevent him from escaping, and rubbed her chest with the other hand, then clenched it into a fist and raised it high.

Boom! Rocks shattered and smoke rose. In a pit on the field, Jiang Li covered his head and grimaced for a while.

Comrades! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
