Learn one small skill every day

While Bai Miao feigned compliance with the group, he also contacted the official knocker.

"It seems that Uncle Yu has been looking for experts in folk customs to come and teach at the academy lately?"

"Is... Brother Bai thinking something?"

"I have no ideas, but I can recommend someone to you. You should send someone to follow me closely. This old man in front of me is an expert in this field. As for whether he can pass the political review and whether he is willing to do so, that's not my concern. In short, consider him a backup candidate."

It can accurately locate dragon veins, while leaving behind means to prevent others from recklessly intruding and causing damage, and it can also respond so quickly after being countered.

"A fox...? Is it a fairy or a demon?!"

Seeing the old man's reaction, Bai Miao had to add that he had good taste.

"Don't worry about that. You can't afford to ruin things if you do that."

"Quick, quick, make way!"

The old man, as expected, dared not delay and urged the people around him to make way.

Bai Miao smiled slightly and carried Tu Shanqing towards the tomb.

Shortly after Bai Miao left, he heard a series of noisy shouts coming from the mountain path behind him.

"Don't move! Come with us!"

"Why are there police here... Do you know who you're arresting?!"

"Click."

"No, don't shoot! I'll go with you!"

"Wait... there's another one on the mountain! We should catch him too!"

"What?! They're in cahoots?!"

Bai Miao shook his head. No matter how high one's cultivation level is, one is still afraid of firearms these days.

Tu Shanqing's hands and feet had already begun to transform into human form. Although she was wrapped in a blanket, Bai Miao could guess that she no longer had any body hair except for her hair.

Tu Shanqing's facial features still retain some fox characteristics. Once her nose completely transforms into a human-like shape, her recovery will be complete.

The dragon vein of the last tomb slowly converged towards Tu Shanqing, and Tu Shanqing's body also emitted dazzling golden light.

We've climbed several hills, and it's already 3 a.m., less than an hour until 4 a.m.

Seeing Tu Shanqing gradually transform into the appearance he remembered, Bai Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

"After working on it for most of the night, it's finally almost done."

As the dragon vein was completely absorbed by Tu Shanqing, Tu Shanqing frowned, let out a low groan, and slowly opened his eyes.

She sat up from the pit in confusion, looked around, raised her arm to smell it, glanced at Bai Miao squatting outside the pit, and gagged.

"Mouth area!"

Am I that ugly?

"This smells awful! Where did you leave me?!"

Chapter 230 Sparring and Training

"you guess?"

Faced with Tu Shanqing's loud outburst, Bai Miao simply pointed to the grave and said, "I originally intended to bury you, but unfortunately you woke up at the last moment."

Tu Shanqing immediately jumped out of the pit: "Don't you recognize me? How could you treat me like this!"

"Then please introduce yourself and explain why you're here."

Bai Miao didn't know which period Tu Shanqing was from.

Bai Miao didn't even understand why she came, let alone why Tu Shanqing suffered such severe mental trauma after coming here, to the point that she needed the Dragon Vein to recover.

"It's me, it's me!"

Tu Shanqing patted his chest: "You may not have seen what I look like, but you definitely know me. Do you remember the time we asked for a title at the post station?"

Bai Miao feigned a shocked expression: "So it was you, you weasel."

"I'm not a weasel! I'm a nine-tailed fox!"

"But why are you here?"

Bai Miao seized the opportunity to ask.

Tu Shanqing put her hands on her hips and raised her head: "Of course I'm here to fulfill the contract. After all, you can't live without me now. If you're willing to give me a name, I'll reluctantly accept your contract."

"A name? You don't have a name yet?"

Bai Miao thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, I will give you the name Tu Shanqing."

In the darkness, Bai Miao felt a new connection between himself and Tu Shanqing. The dragon veins that Tu Shanqing had devoured had all returned, and were even larger than before.

Even though the fragments of the abundant soil were not on him, they still exerted their original effects.

"Heaven bears witness that although you are ugly, I can still offer you some help."

As he spoke, Bai Miao received a notification from the Knockers network.

[Received Tu Shanqing's assistance *3]

[Tu Shanqing's Assistance]

[Description: When used in a dungeon, it can summon Tu Shanqing into the dungeon.]

Note: When experiencing the Qingqiu Rebellion instance world, Tu Shanqing will be forcibly entered along with you and forcibly bound to Tu Shanqing's faction.

[One-time use only (uses can be restored)]

Rating: Zain (Potential for Improvement)

Upon seeing the rating, Bai Miao's first thought was that Tu Shanqing must be quite weak right now.

However, given such a contract, why would the future Tu Shanqing specifically use the power of the Time Fragment to help himself when he was in the Shadow of Yar?

Bai Miao already had a less-than-ideal answer in his mind.

It's likely that by that point in time, there was nothing Tu Shanqing could do to reverse the situation, which is why she chose to use the fragments of time to travel back in time and issue a warning.

The principle is somewhat similar to the Zero Time Lock, which means that you cannot change your own timeline, but instead create a new future.

"Tu Shanqing, how did you get here?"

Tu Shanqing gestured: "First like this, then like that, then I opened a door, and when I woke up I was here."

"..."

Seeing Bai Miao's disgusted look, Tu Shanqing also shouted loudly, "What?! I don't know either! Go ask that door yourself!"

"Don't rush, think back carefully. How did you know I wasn't that Commander Bai? Or rather, how did you see through my origins from another world?"

Seeing Tu Shanqing get angry so easily, Bai Miao was speechless.

How can I train her to become the reliable Tu Shanqing in the shadows of Yar?

"It was an instinctive feeling, I can't really explain it, but I knew that you left later, and when I was searching for the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, I accidentally learned that I hadn't actually completed the closed loop yet. I had to find you to complete the final step before I could continue cultivating. I had already put in a lot of effort to find this door, so I don't remember what happened after the door was opened."

"So you're saying you expended too much energy before and after opening the door, and now you need the dragon vein to recover to your peak condition?"

Bai Miao realized that this guy was a big spender who consumed dragon veins.

It's no wonder that the people of the Heavenly Dao Palace coveted the dragon veins of an entire country, as dragon veins would undoubtedly be of great benefit to their cultivation.

"You're not too stupid."

Tu Shanqing looked around and said, "Although the dragon vein here is a bit smelly, it's still alright, barely acceptable. If you find a better dragon vein in the future, remember to take me there."

"You're dreaming. By the way, you're not allowed to eat the main dragon veins. The only things you can eat are these corners that are about to disappear."

Tu Shanqing was surprised: "So you really weren't one of the kings or queens of the Heavenly Dao Palace back then? I always thought you were just playing with them until you left! I thought if you were a member of the Heavenly Dao Palace, you wouldn't have any psychological pressure about using the main dragon vein."

"How do I resemble those lunatics?"

Tu Shanqing looked him up and down: "It's true! You've even brought the Painful Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Dao Palace to use."

"...That was just a small experiment."

Tu Shanqing said with some regret, "Alright... If you say I can't eat it, then I can't secretly eat it either. Heaven is witnessing... Let me make this clear first, this doesn't mean we're master and servant. You can't order me to do things I don't like, I have principles."

"There are quite a few dragon veins that are about to dissipate, enough for you to eat, don't worry. But now, I'd like to test your abilities."

Bai Miao didn't want to drag Tu Shanqing along to die when he faced intense battles in the dungeon.

"Can I take that to mean I can lay a hand on you at will?"

Tu Shanqing's golden pupils shrank to a vertical line, and the clothes Bai Miao had seen before materialized on her body, her long golden hair moving without wind.

"Come."

Bai Miao raised the Moon Sword, quite curious to see how much strength this fox spirit still retained.

"it is good!"

Tu Shanqing grinned and thrust his palm forward. The surging palm wind carved a ravine in the ground and slammed hard into the Moon Sword in front of Bai Miao.

"boom!"

Bai Miao swayed slightly from the blow, a smile appearing on his lips.

The fact that Tu Shanqing could unleash such a powerful attack from a distance using only palm strikes demonstrates her considerable strength.

"I haven't even used any Taoist magic yet!"

Seeing that Bai Miao hadn't moved for a while, Tu Shanqing assumed that Bai Miao was stunned by her previous palm strike. So she boldly approached Bai Miao, her hands forming claws as she reached out to grab him.

Bai Miao could see the entire path of Tu Shanqing's attack and react in time. Tu Shanqing's fingers gripped the Moon Sword, and although no scratches were left, the sound of the two rubbing together was not pleasant.

So Bai Miao turned on the silence and absorbed the annoying noise.

Tu Shanqing suddenly lost all sound. After a brief moment of panic, she chose to keep her distance.

"Yes, your movements are crisp and clean, and your combat awareness is excellent."

Judging from the few moves just now, Tu Shanqing is much stronger than the musician.

In other words, Tu Shanqing's current combat ability is equivalent to that of an Aleph-level holder.
