Jiang Ling turned her head to look over, but her vision was a little blurry and unclear, gradually turning black and her eyes became empty. Not wanting the other person to worry, she quickly lowered her head, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath to relieve the pain.
That kind of pain is a pain that goes deep into the bone marrow and soul.
After an unknown amount of time, the temperature around began to drop, and everyone felt a chill spreading. They used their inner strength to ward off the cold and looked towards the place where the ice flowers were spreading.
Jiang Sheng looked down at his feet and saw a layer of frost spreading outwards from his brother's body little by little.
A layer of frost covered his entire body, and his hair was slowly turning white. Jiang Ling could not see the changes in his body, but he could feel the power of that energy.
"Ice? As expected of my brother, this ability is much more convenient. I wonder if there's fire. It would be nice to not have to carry a tinderbox with me when I go out."
Qingshan stood up and tried to mobilize the energy in his body, and saw that the soil on the ground suddenly turned into earth spikes, which looked so sharp that they could pierce a person's body.
He looked at the earth spikes on the ground with shining eyes. When he was distracted, the earth spikes disappeared and the soil was scattered all over the ground in an instant.
"...Aoki, look at how powerful I am! I can turn dirt into thorns. Sir, look at what kind of power I have."
Jiang Sheng glanced at it and said with a smile: "Congratulations, this is the first level of earth control. You should practice more in the future. Here is the book on earth control. Take it back and read it more."
Aoki slowly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand. Green vines appeared out of thin air, swinging like a snake, which made people's scalp tingle.
"Sir, my subordinate is Mu...?"
"Well, try to control the plants around you, even the grass, and try to turn them into weapons."
Aoki placed his hand on a blade of grass and watched the grass growing wildly. The edges of the grass were covered with sharp thorns, which attacked to the side and penetrated the stone in an instant.
The assassins stared at the scene blankly, rubbed their eyes and wondered if they had seen it wrong. How could a person do this? Is this the power that a mortal can possess?
Jiang Sheng nodded in satisfaction, his eyes falling on the assassins and whispering, "This house is built in the mountains, there are no villages around, you can fully practice your abilities here."
"Those who haven't awakened their talents within ten days are fine. I will make other arrangements. Those who have awakened need to be counted. I have other training plans for you."
People without special abilities can never compete with people with special abilities. The two are like a natural chasm and can only be separated. Otherwise, in the long run, people without special abilities will give up on themselves and become useless.
There are at least tens of thousands of people with special abilities in the temple. What he needs to do now is to seize the time and train more people with special abilities for Beihuang so that he will have the confidence to fight against the temple in the future.
Jiang Ling breathed slowly and remained motionless.
Jiang Sheng sat aside and waited, waving his hand to let others go first. He wanted to wait here for his brother to wake up. He was worried about others watching him.
He stayed there all night, and at dawn the next morning, the frost on Jiang Ling's body gradually faded away, and he returned to his original appearance, except that his silver hair could not be turned back.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around with clear and indifferent eyes.
Seeing him wake up, Jiang Sheng excitedly said, "Brother, you are finally awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Come hold out your hand, I'll take your pulse."
Jiang Ling looked at his brother with a confused look in his eyes: "San'er, it's you. I seem to have slept for a very long time and had a very long dream. Where am I now?"
"The house inside the Ridge Mountain is sparsely populated and safe, making it the perfect place for you to awaken your talents. Congratulations, brother, you have awakened your offensive ice talent."
"Take this book home and read it more often. Practice your abilities more and they will become stronger and stronger."
Jiang Sheng's lips curled up slightly, with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Ling's memory slowly returned, and he whispered, "Brother, I remember now. I came to you to ask for the pill, but I didn't expect it to be like this after taking it. I..."
The silver hair fell in front of Jiang Ling's eyes. He paused for a moment before he finished speaking and looked at the silver hair in surprise: "San'er, what's wrong with my hair?"
"I don't know, it just turned into silver hair all of a sudden."
Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Brother, you are quite good like this. You look more like an immortal. You don't look like a human at all. You look more like an immortal. It's just that this silver hair is hard to explain to others."
"Dye your hair. Da Gan thinks silver hair is unlucky, so it's not suitable to show it off now. San'er can make elixirs, so let's see if he can change the color of your hair."
"Well, okay, I'll look in the library."
Jiang Ling stood up and said softly, "It's getting late. I should go check on the sugarcane planting in the mountains. We want to harvest the treasures of other countries."
Jiang Sheng quickly followed. The two of them looked at the charcoal burning in the house and the seedlings that had begun to sprout. They squatted down and touched them.
"Brother, the charcoal in this shed keeps it warm. We can harvest the sugar when summer is almost here. We can then build a sugar factory on the mountain to save us from running back and forth."
"But, I asked the retired veterans to come here. They are absolutely loyal to the Jiang family, so it will be safer for them to do these things."
A lame old soldier came over and was stunned when he saw Jiang Ling with silver hair. He asked in confusion, "Major General, what's your hair like..."
Jiang Ling said calmly, "It's nothing. My hair is like this because I went too far in my training. I'll dye it in a couple of days."
"Uncle Liu, how's it going here? Are there any problems with the sugarcane seedlings?"
"To reply to the Major General, there is no problem for the time being."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work. You will get extra rewards after the sugarcane is planted. For now, I have to inconvenience you on the mountain. If you need anything, just let me know."
Liu Shun smiled and shook his head: "Major General, you are joking. It's already good here on the mountain. It's great to have something to do, food and drink."
Jiang Ling hummed, "That's good. You guys continue to look after this place. San'er, come with me."
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and they went further and further astray.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Let's go pick pine cones. You loved eating pine nuts when you were a kid. There are a few trees in this forest. I'll take you there to pick some and bring them back. You can fry them and eat them anytime you want."
Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Brother, I'm already an adult, and you still treat me like a child."
Jiang Ling also laughed: "No matter how old you are, you are still my brother. In my eyes, you are just a child. When you went to the temple and disappeared, I wondered if I had that ability too."
"Is it possible to go look for you instead of just watching you, not knowing where you are and not being able to fight against those god-like people?"
"...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left Pingcheng without permission and made you worry, brother."
"It's different now. I'll be able to be with you in the future. As an older brother, there's no reason for me to hide behind my younger brother. I should be standing in front of you."
