A moment later, Taoist Master Daoming came out of the kitchen wearing a cotton-padded Taoist robe. Seeing Ji Miaomiao standing in the yard with a suitcase, he said, "Little disciple, you're back just in time. Go put the things down first, and you can come out and eat."
Ji Miaomiao smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go put the things down first."
"Go! Go!"
Miaomiao put down the suitcase and came out.
The master and the disciple gathered in the yard in this cold winter and had a meal of steaming hot braised pork ribs. After eating, they felt warm all over.
Ji Miaomiao cleaned up the dishes and took out the stove, placed it on the table and boiled tea. Amid the gurgling sound of the boiling water, she chatted with her master beside her about recent developments.
A few days after the Chinese New Year, she had to go to Qingyun Temple to continue her cultivation. She didn't have much time to spend with her master during this holiday, so the next few days they spent together were just eating and drinking.
They went down the mountain together to buy some New Year's goods, and were busy carrying various items up the mountain to fill up the Taoist temple. They would only sit down and practice when they had free time.
On the first day of the New Year, a heavy snow fell at night. Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky. When Ji Miaomiao was practicing in the room, the clear energy in her body suddenly became extremely active.
The originally thin pure energy in her body seemed to be attracted by something, continuously flowing into her body and circulating continuously, enveloping her whole body in a cyclone formed by the gathered pure energy.
But Ji Miaomiao herself had no idea about this situation.
A large amount of fresh air washed through the bones and meridians in her body, gently and continuously expelling and repairing the impurities and damage in her body. Her whole body seemed to return to the mother's womb.
Warm and comfortable.
When Ji Miaomiao finished this long training and opened her eyes again, the snow outside had stopped, and everything was covered with a thick layer of white snow, and a faint light just appeared on the horizon.
Only then did she realize that she had been practicing for a whole night.
Ji Miaomiao stood up and felt that her body did not feel uncomfortable at all after sitting cross-legged all night. Instead, she felt light and energetic. She had an urge to go out and do something to expend her energy.
The snow just stopped.
She put on her coat, stood up, went to the yard to get a big broom, and slowly swept the snow in the yard to the side, revealing the flat stone brick floor of the yard.
The sky gradually became completely bright, and a corner of the sun appeared in the distance.
When Taoist Master Daoming got up, he saw a small courtyard that had been swept exceptionally clean. Only the snow on the trees and houses proved the heavy snow last night.
"Young man, you're up really early."
He sighed at the yard and looked around. Not finding his apprentice in the backyard, he walked towards the front hall.
Along the way, I saw that the snow on the open space in the front hall had been cleared out. The gate of the Taoist temple was open, and a path two people wide had been cleared on the open space outside.
There was no one in sight.
"Where did this go? That's all."
Upon seeing this, Taoist Master Daoming smiled and did not go out to look for it again.
He returned to the front hall and respectfully placed three sticks of sandalwood in front of the Three Pure Ones statue. Watching the three plumes of green smoke curl upward, he said, "Three Pure Ones Patriarch, may everything go smoothly for the temple in the new year."
“Huh~”
Ji Miaomiao put away her sword.
Looking at the snow within a ten-foot radius of the forest with her body as the center, all of it had been moved by the sword move and condensed into a ball on the ground, she confirmed that her cultivation had made a breakthrough.
Not only did the amount of pure energy in her body double, but her strength and speed also underwent qualitative changes.
Ji Miaomiao raised her hand and observed it carefully in front of her eyes, and found that her skin exuded a visible white luster. It looked fair and powerful, and even with just a thought, fresh energy condensed at her fingertips.
The scene was completely different from when he first started practicing Taoism and had to struggle to absorb the pure energy one strand at a time.
Ji Miaomiao felt the changes and couldn't help but smile. Then she took the wooden sword and walked briskly back to the Taoist temple.
During lunch, she told her master, Taoist Master Daoming, the news of her breakthrough.
There was nothing to do in the first few days of the new year.
When Ji Miaomiao had some free time during her breakthrough, she took out the complete collection of talismans inherited from her own Taoist temple and continued reading it.
She has now fully mastered the basic talismans above, and has almost read the intermediate talismans. Further on are some records of advanced talismans and combination talismans.
Advanced talismans are extremely difficult to learn and cannot be learned in a short period of time, and they are generally not used.
Ji Miaomiao glanced at it briefly and turned the page.
What she is mainly looking at now are some records of the combination talismans at the back. For her, who has already fully mastered the primary talismans and whose cultivation level is also suitable, learning the combination talismans is perfect for her at this stage.
It is recorded in the Complete Collection of Talismans that when one reaches the Bone Tempering Stage, one can appropriately combine elementary talismans and draw them on instruments to double the effect.
When Ji Miaomiao saw this record, the first thing she thought of was the safety of Taoist Master Daoming.
She might try to draw a talisman that combines protection, escape, and positioning to protect Taoist Master Daoming's safety. In case of any accidents again, this thing can also be a guarantee.
In the next few days, Ji Miaomiao began to try various things to realize her idea.
After many attempts on talisman paper, she decided to combine the amulet and the light body amulet together to see the effect. As for the tools, she chose wood carving, which she had some experience with.
There is a lot of wood in the storage room where Taoist Daoming keeps the wood.
After opening it, Ji Miaomiao randomly picked two pieces and took them out. After cutting them into small pieces with tools, she began to carve them.
The carving naturally couldn't be done with a hand-made knife. The talisman required to be completed in one go. Once it was broken, it would have no effect. The only thing she could use was her own hands.
