Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 7 Dijiang Inheritance
Time passed quietly like fine sand, and Shi An's days in Shi Village were peaceful and fulfilling. In addition to playing with the children in the village every day, he would sit quietly under the lightning-struck tree, close his eyes and meditate, trying to communicate with the subtle power in his body.

Lord Ji Ling would occasionally stroke his head with a willow branch, as if giving him some silent instruction and protection.

Shi An could clearly feel that every time at this time, his connection with this world would become closer, as if he could hear the whisper of the wind and see the vitality contained in the swaying flowers and plants.

Half a month later, when the blood-red sunset covered the entire Shi Village, Shi An, who had been sitting under the lightning-struck tree, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and shot out a heart-pounding ray of light, which was the surprise and shock of the first awakening of his inner strength.

In fact, he had anticipated this as early as half a month ago, when he had just experienced that dream, but when he really awakened this power, he still couldn't help but be surprised.

space!

He awakened his spatial ability.

And the monster that appeared in his dream half a month ago was, as he expected, none other than Dijiang, the ancestor of space and speed, the leader of the twelve ancestor witches transformed from Pangu's essence and blood in the ancient world!
"It seems that you have begun to master the power within your body!"

Just as Shi An was immersed in the joy of gaining space, a low, magnetic and textured voice suddenly came into his ears from behind him.

Hearing this, Shi An quickly collected his thoughts and turned to look at the lightning-struck tree with only one willow branch from where the sound came from. He said, "Thank you, Master Ji Ling, for your guidance these days. I have already begun to master the power in my body."

"Then show it to me!"

As soon as Shi An finished speaking, the voice sounded again.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Shi An immediately agreed, and then pointed at a stone on the ground that was about the size of his fist.

In an instant, the stone disappeared silently from its original spot, and when it reappeared, it was already in his palm.

"The power of space? Not bad!"

This scene made the already expectant Ji Ling nod secretly, but then he warned Shi An: "However, you have only just begun to glimpse the path. You must know that the world is profound and unfathomable. You must be respectful and diligent in your practice. Don't be arrogant and complacent because of your temporary achievements!"

Hearing Ji Ling say this, Shi An's originally somewhat arrogant expression instantly dissipated, and instead became much more solemn: "Master Ji Ling, don't worry, I will practice diligently and live up to your high expectations."

The sacrificial spirit seemed quite satisfied with Shi An's attitude, and the willow branches swayed slightly, as if nodding gently.

Seeing that Ji Ling didn't say anything more, Shi An started practicing again.

Soon, time passed and the next day came in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Shi An, who had mastered his own abilities, turned to find the clan leader Shi Yunfeng and asked him to guide him in his cultivation again.

In response to this, Shi Yunfeng did not agree immediately. Instead, after obtaining the consent of the sacrificial spirit, he took Shi An to an open area and began to teach.

"Xiao Shi'an, if you want to walk freely in this vast wilderness without fear of danger, you must master a certain power."

In the open space, Shi Yunfeng looked at Shi An in front of him, gently stroked his white beard, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what that is?"

"this·······"

Shi An only hesitated for a moment before looking up at Shi Yunfeng and saying, "Grandpa Clan Leader, it's a rune."

"That's right." Hearing this answer, Shi Yunfeng nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Runes, or the bone characters on the bodies of the ancient relics, are symbols that those powerful ancient relics are born with on their bones. They contain mysterious powers."

"Once we can master this power, not only will we be able to roam the vast wilderness, but at least our safety will be greatly improved."

Hearing this, Shi An thought Shi Yunfeng was going to teach him bone writing, so he asked curiously: "So, Grandpa Clan Leader, are you going to teach me this?"

But to Shi An's surprise, after hearing what he said, Shi Yunfeng simply shook his head and said, "Not really."

Then, before Shi An could even begin to wonder, Shi Yunfeng explained to him, "After the events of the past few days, and what Master Ji Ling just told you, you should have mastered a kind of rune power by now, and this power must be much stronger than what I have."

"Therefore, I don't intend to teach you the runes I know, because that would probably delay you."

Seeing that Shi Yunfeng actually cared so much about him, Shi An felt touched again.

However, Shi Yunfeng was not clear about Shi An's psychological activities. He just continued: "The reason why I am telling you this is just that I hope you can always remember this and don't neglect the practice of runes."

Seeing Shi Yunfeng looking at him, Shi An quickly came back to his senses and nodded in response: "I understand, Grandpa Clan Leader!"

"very good."

Shi Yunfeng smiled with satisfaction at this, then changed the subject and said, "However, although I don't plan to teach you runes directly, I can tell you some methods and experience of rune cultivation."

As he spoke, he pulled out a palm-sized piece of bone that looked like fine jade, along with a book that looked quite old. "This is the precious bone that appeared with Master Ji Ling back then, along with some of my own annotations on the runes. I hope it will be of some help to you!"

Looking at the remains with intricate patterns engraved on them and the yellowed books in his hands, Shi An's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

He didn't understand why Shi Yunfeng would be so kind to him, a strictly outsider, and even took out his most precious thing.

Perhaps, the other party really treats him as his own grandson!
As he thought about it, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Shi An's eyes, and at the same time, the trace of alienation hidden in his heart finally disappeared completely at this moment.

He looked at Shi Yunfeng solemnly and promised: "Thank you, Grandpa Clan Leader. I will definitely not let you down. When I become stronger, I will definitely protect Shi Village and prevent any danger from harming the village."

Hearing Shi An's words, Shi Yunfeng couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile on his face, but then he gently touched Shi An's little head and said earnestly: "Good boy, it's enough for you to have this heart."

"Grandpa doesn't expect anything in return from you. I just hope you can live peacefully. You still have a long way to go, and there will be many unknowns and challenges in the future."

"Grandpa believes that as long as you persevere and have the heart to protect others, you will always see the sky that belongs to you in the future."

"Ok!"

Shi An nodded heavily and took Shi Yunfeng's words deeply into his heart.

"Okay, let's start training!"

Seeing that the explanation was complete, Shi Yunfeng immediately began to formally teach Shi An.

First, the types of runes, then the various properties, and then the various functions.

This continued until the afternoon, when another medicinal bath was taken.
