Chapter 6: A Little Test of Skills

A month passed quickly, and Ji Qingling was a little excited today because her father finally agreed to take her to the mountains to hunt animals.

Since she started to practice Qi Refining, she had been rejected several times when she wanted to go up the mountain with him.

Her parents always refused to let her follow them on the grounds that she was too young.

Finally, she practiced the Golden Armor Technique to his satisfaction, from being able to only attach metal to the fingers at the beginning to being able to cover the entire palm.

Nowadays, the Golden Armor Technique can cover the entire arm with metal, which cannot be scratched by ordinary small beasts.

"Ji Qingling, Ji Xuansu, come up."

"Ah?" Ji Qingling turned to look at her friend beside her. She was daydreaming and had no idea what Uncle Qingshan said.

"Uncle Qingshan asked the two of us to go out and compete."

Ji Xuansu pulled her sleeve, then walked out of the team holding his wooden sword.

It turned out that they were asked to compete.

But is it really okay for two seven-year-old girls to fight in public?

Looking at the little girl standing opposite her who also had double buns on her hair, she really wanted to laugh.

Although Ji Qingyuan would usually practice martial arts with her like playing with a cat at home, he had never competed with outsiders before.

"Uncle Qingshan, how do we compete?" I have never fought in my two lives, so I really don't know how to start.

Ji Qingshan looked at the two little girls with amusement. Among the three children this year, only the two of them had entered the first level of Qi Refining, and the other child had just begun to draw Qi into the body.

They both seem quite smart on weekdays, why are they acting stupid now?

"It's just like your usual practice. Don't be afraid. I'll be watching from the side. Just stop when you're done."

Seeing that the two still didn't move, "Qingling, you start first."

…

"Okay, Susu, be careful, I'm about to start."

Ji Qingling took a step back and threw a water ball in his hand at the other party.

Su Su dodged sideways and threw out a small fireball with her backhand.

Ji Qingling is usually teased by her brother at home, and she is very good at avoiding it.

Just like we had agreed, you threw a fireball at me and I threw a water ball to put it out for you, and the scene was extremely awkward.

If they continue like this, the little spiritual energy they have left will be exhausted.

"Well, you can use weapons." Ji Qingshan couldn't bear it anymore.

Then the two began to fight with swords.

a long time……

"Use all the spells you have learned every day. When will both of you become single spiritual roots?"

Oh, if this was a boy, Ji Qingshan would have kicked him.

Finally, a thorn appeared under Ji Qingling's feet. She was unable to dodge and tripped to the ground.

Su Su found the opportunity and quickly moved forward with the wooden sword, but was blocked by an arm with golden armor.

Just as she was surprised at how fast the other party had mastered the golden armor technique, Ji Qingling's wooden sword was already against her neck.

She smiled and said to Su Su: "I won."

"Not bad, you two need to practice more in the future."

Ji Qingshan praised someone.

Seeing Ji Qingyuan gave her a thumbs up, he looked like he was proud of her.

Ji Qingling rolled his eyes at him and turned his head away without looking at him.

"I will practice hard when I get back, and I won't lose to you next time." Susu pouted, looking a little unconvinced.

"I have my brother at home to practice with me. You can come next time and let him practice with us."

"Yeah, okay then. Qingling, you've practiced the Golden Armor Technique very well."

Susu can be coaxed into happiness with just a few words.

"Hey, my dad insisted that I practice well before he would take me up the mountain."

"That's great. I also want to go up the mountain, but my mother will definitely not agree."

Early the next morning, Ji Qingling began to prepare to go out.

For basic survival, the storage bag was given to her by her father, containing water, dry food, fruits, a few talismans and a few pills.

The weapon is a slender long sword, which was used by Niangniang Mo San when she was young.

The defensive piece is also a piece of armor that Mo Sanniang wore when she was young. Combined with the golden armor technique she practiced, she should be safe.

Since the trip was only around Xiaowang Mountain and could be completed in one day, and her parents also wanted to train her, she had to do all the preparations by herself.

They soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Ji Linhai turned around and instructed his daughter.

“Ling’er, there are many monsters in this mountain. Although they are all low-level, they are not comparable to ordinary beasts.

Don’t panic when you encounter danger. The first thing you need to learn is to protect yourself.”

"Dad, you've said it three times."

In the family, Ji Linhai, who was at the first level of foundation building, walked in the front, Ji Qingyuan followed his father, Ji Qingling, as the key protected person, was ranked third, and Mo Sanniang, who was at the great perfection of Qi training, walked at the end.

The Ji family team is setting off!

It is spring now, and the colorful flowers in the forest are blooming beautifully.

Ji Qingling also paid special attention to the flowers, plants and trees around him. Even a spring outing was a rare learning opportunity.

"Mom, is that a tobacco plant?"

"Yes, that is indeed the tobacco grass. If you look at its light green roots, it means that it is very young and there is no need to pick it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The roots of the tobacco grass that are at least ten years old start to turn black, and only then will it have a high medicinal value. "

Oh, then don’t pick it yet.

Along the way, Ji Qingling gained a deeper understanding of spiritual herbs based on what he learned from the spiritual plant map.

Here, she was just picking a white blessing flower which had hemostatic effect and putting it into the storage bag.

Ji Linhai stopped and warned, "Be careful."

"ah?"

While she was wondering, a long green snake with its mouth wide open rushed towards her from the grass.

"ah!"

Even though she was screaming, the training she had received during the past few days made her roll on the ground instinctively while swinging her knife at the green snake.

Although he avoided the green snake's attack, the knife also missed the target.

After stabilizing his body, he immediately used the Golden Armor Technique, covered his left arm with metal to block in front of him, and swung the long sword at the attacking green snake again.

The moment the green snake bit her, she finally cut it off.

Seeing the green snake broken into two pieces twisting on the ground for a few times and finally stopping, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't let your guard down." Ji Linhai continued to remind.

"Ah? What?"

Thinking there was still a snake nearby, Ji Qingling quickly perked up and released his spiritual sense to investigate.

"No, right? There's nothing around, right?" He looked a little uncertain.

Mo Sanniang then came over with a smile and tidied up her hair which was a little messy due to the fight.

"You have to remember not to relax just because you have won temporarily. You must always remain on the defensive until you are completely sure that the surrounding environment is safe."

"Oh, I see."

At this time Ji Linhai also came over.

"Not bad, you reacted quickly and acted decisively."

"Dad, the three of you were just watching there. What if I got bit by a snake?"

What's going on? Where's the loving family they promised? Are they leaving her aside and forming a trio to watch the show? "Didn't Dad just warn you in advance? When I first encountered the monster, my parents didn't say anything, and I was grabbed by its claws."

Ji Qingyuan held the snake and shook it in front of her.

"Go away, you are the worst among the four of us."

Seeing Ji Qingyuan was about to put the snake into his storage bag, "Hey, that's my trophy."

"Come here, this is a first-level green-maned snake that doesn't even have a demon pill. You can keep it as a souvenir. I was planning to cook a pot of snake soup for you later."

Looking at the snake body in front of her that was as thick as her arm, Ji Qingling waved her hands and stepped back.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll just leave it at your place, you can just cook it and I'll eat it."

Ji Qingyuan just gave her a look and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The team continued to move forward. This time she didn't dare to be careless and released her spiritual sense to observe.

I'm shameless again, please add it to your collection and give it a recommendation vote! Thank you!
