Chapter 106 Instructions
Yang Qingyun held the hatchet in his hand.
Looking at the bare ironwood in front of him, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
These ironwood trees look extremely strange.
The whole tree is gray-black, and there is not a single leaf to be seen.
It looks just like branches with all leaves burned after a forest fire.
But it should be noted that the trees that can grow within the territory of Shengji Sect are exposed to the erosion of the essence and spiritual energy of the earth veins on a daily basis. Especially since they grow in a place like Tiegu Mountain where evil spirits are concentrated, their quality is naturally not simple.
Originally, Yang Qingyun was mentally prepared for this.
But he never expected that cutting the ironwood would be so difficult!
"The mission requires the blood exchange realm, so it should be necessary to use blood and qi to cut down trees?"
Yang Qingyun thought,
I remembered the requirements written on the task, and a flash of inspiration came to me.
immediately,
The blood in his body circulated through his meridians and condensed on the hatchet, making the edge of the hatchet glow with a faint blood-red luster.
Swish! A bloody blade flashed, and the hatchet chopped down a thumb-sized branch of an ironwood tree.
Ding! From the iron tree came the sound of metal clashing.
However, because of the attachment of qi and blood, the hatchet was able to cut into the hole to a depth of about three centimeters.
Yang Qingyun had a blank expression on his face. He drew his sword and slashed twice more in succession. Both strikes precisely hit the blade.
Swish! The thumb-sized ironwood branch was completely cut off and fell from mid-air.
But not only did Yang Qingyun not show any joy on his face, but he became solemn instead.
He picked up a branch of the ironwood on the ground, looked at it carefully for a moment, and knocked on the branch of the ironwood next to him.
There were two "ding ding" sounds of metal colliding.
"It's troublesome. This material is no different from steel."
"Although the concentration of Qi and blood can chop down the ironwood, not to mention the consumption of Qi and blood, at this speed alone, it would be very difficult to chop down a load of ironwood in one day!"
Yang Qingyun couldn't help but frown and shook his head slightly.
It doesn't matter whether it is hard or not. The hardships in his previous life have already made him tough enough. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it will not be as tiring as before.
But the trouble is that if you want to accumulate enough Yuanshi and sect contribution points through the task of cutting down ironwood, it will probably take at least ten days! It's a bit long!
But when he thought about it, it seemed that among all the tasks in the sect that did not take a long time to earn contribution points, the task of chopping wood was the most suitable for him.
Just when Yang Qingyun was helpless and was about to continue chopping wood.
Suddenly, a somewhat old voice came from behind.
"Boy, the mission of cutting down ironwood trees is not meant to earn you Yuanshi or contribution points. This mission is actually a way to hone your abilities as a disciple!"
"If you want to make money, I advise you to find other work to do!"
Yang Qingyun turned his head and saw a skinny old man in his sixties or seventies wearing linen clothes, leaning on a smooth and round stick made of iron wood, walking slowly up from the foot of the mountain behind.
He carried a bamboo basket on his back and a hatchet on his waist.
Just like an ordinary woodcutter in the mountains.
He took a short break after every step, as if he was exhausted.
Although this old man looks ordinary, Yang Qingyun dare not underestimate him.
Who knows if this old man is some hidden master? So Yang Qingyun saluted him with his fists.
With a respectful face:
"Excuse me, senior. I just want to earn enough Yuanshi contribution points to practice in the training room as soon as possible, so I can break through to the internal organs training stage. That's why I am a little anxious."
"I see."
Perhaps because of Yang Qingyun's gentle words, the old man's voice also calmed down. He glanced at him up and down.
"Although there are reasons for this, I still say the same thing. If you want to earn contribution points from this, then you are making a wrong idea. You should accept other tasks."
He stood beside Yang Qingyun and pointed at a large area of bare ironwood on the mountain.
"These ironwood trees have been subjected to the evil spirits of the Ironbone Mountain for many years, so their texture is as hard as steel. Even a warrior at the Blood Exchange Realm would have to spend a lot of effort to cut them down."
"But if you can persist in cutting trees here for a while, it will be very beneficial to your swordsmanship practice. Therefore, the main purpose of this mission is to train you disciples."
"It is impossible to earn Yuanshi and Contribution Points by this mission. Otherwise, it would not be your turn. Of course, if you can master the power of the sword, it is an exception."
"Because the force of the knife can easily break the evil spirit inside the iron branch wood, so it can be easily cut down."
“But if you understood the power of the sword, you wouldn’t have come to Tiegu Mountain to chop wood!”
"Of course, if you can calm down and chop swords in this mountain for a year or so, this kind of training in the way of the sword may help you to understand the power of the sword."
The old man shook his head.
He spoke calmly and gave a casual instruction.
But he didn't plan to say anything more to Yang Qingyun and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Yang Qingyun was respectful, he gave some pointers, but he didn't take it too seriously.
The mere blood exchange realm was indeed not something that caught his eye.
Moreover, young men who are willing to do such hard labor as chopping wood are probably just ordinary apprentices, without much outstanding qualities.
After all, if there were geniuses who had mastered the power of swords, they would have gone to the External Affairs Hall to accept missions to fight outside and become famous.
Who among geniuses is not arrogant? Ordinary disciples,
That's even less worth mentioning.
However, if this boy can really cut iron branches on this mountain for a year, show a certain amount of perseverance, and understand the power of the knife.
Then he will be willing to give some advice later.
"I see. Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Yang Qingyun suddenly realized it. He automatically ignored the other party's subsequent words, bowed to him and expressed his gratitude.
Then he grasped the hatchet in his hand and weighed it a few times.
Close your eyes.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Swing the knife!
All in one go! With a swish, the knife flashed, and at the same time, between the blades of the hatchet, an unstoppable force swept across, chopping down a piece of iron wood as thick as a person!
A sharp light flashed across the middle of the iron branch wood, and the entire iron branch wood was cut in half!
Collapsed with a loud bang!
The old man, who had already walked eight or nine feet up the mountain, stopped and looked back.
He opened his mouth slightly, somewhat stunned.
???
Ah this,
Is there something wrong with me or is there something wrong with this world?
Why should a genius who has mastered the power of a sword in the blood exchange realm be famous all over the world? Why did he come here to chop wood? When did the arrogant geniuses calm down and do such "humble" things? At this moment, the old man suddenly had some doubts about this world.
Could it be that I have been out of touch with the outside world for too long and have grown old?
"Well, maybe this year's genius has some quirks!"
"I misjudged it, I misjudged it!"
The old man wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, no one saw it. I didn't expect that after hunting geese all day, one day his eyes would be pecked blind by a wild goose.
But there is no way.
If a warrior does not deliberately release the power of a knife or sword, no matter how strong others are, they will not be able to see through it.
Who would have thought that a genius would be so humble and not arrogant?
Yang Qingyun naturally didn't know.
After chopping down a whole ironwood tree with one stroke, he looked at the thick ironwood on the ground and roughly estimated that after processing it, there should be more than a load of firewood.
There was a light in his eyes at this moment.
Recalling the rewards in the mission,
Yang Qingyun seemed to see it.
A golden road appeared in front of him!
