My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

Although others were shining brightly, Lu Xueqi was no ordinary person either. After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she began to comprehend the sword technique again.

It's almost here, almost here, she'll be done soon too.

Immediately, the fourth floor of the Transmission Hall fell into an eerie silence once again.

Both were so engrossed in their own practice that they couldn't extricate themselves.

Nothing was said that night, and it wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Wei Jing slowly got up.

Wei Jing had completely mastered the first chapter of the Nine Secrets of Body Tempering, the Body Tempering Chapter. In just one day and one night, Wei Jing successfully completed the first round of tempering the three sternum bones.

At this moment, Wei Jing clenched his fist, and he could clearly feel that his strength had indeed increased.

However, I'm a little hungry.

Wei Jing patted his stomach, then took out a fasting pill and swallowed it to temporarily suppress the hunger.

My chest and heart felt incredibly relaxed and at ease.

Wei Jing was still not at ease, so he took out the secret technique again and checked it word by word to make sure that he had memorized the three body-tempering techniques.

At the end of the third chapter on blood transfusion, some predecessors wrote annotations in red pen.

"Descendants and disciples must not be eager for quick success, and are strictly forbidden from practicing two secret techniques simultaneously."

Wei Jing could understand this, as this body-forging technique was extremely taxing on blood and energy.

"In the future, I should prepare some pills to replenish my qi and blood during cultivation, so as not to damage myself," Wei Jing instructed himself.

Now that he had mastered the basics of the Bone Tempering Technique, Wei Jing hurried to find several more suitable spells, such as staff techniques.

A heavy stick is best.

The spells and techniques stored on the fourth floor of the Transmission Hall were indeed extraordinary; most of the bookshelves contained mid-grade first-tier spells.

Moreover, a significant portion of them are first-tier high-grade spells and secret techniques.

Cultivation manuals of this caliber can be easily purchased at the Treasure Pavilion or Pill Cauldron Pavilion in the marketplace, or at the Linghuang Auction House.

A spell or secret technique requires a price of several hundred spirit stones, and cultivation techniques are even more expensive, usually costing three to five thousand spirit stones.

Many small cultivation families simply cannot afford three to five thousand spirit stones.

You can stay in the Qingfu Sect's Transmission Hall. The first to third floors are open to inner disciples for free, while the fourth floor offers hundreds of spells and secret techniques for you to learn. You only need 1,000 sect contribution points to stay for a month.

This is such a great deal, especially for Wei Jing.

He then found a high-grade first-level staff technique.

"Closed-Door Stick Technique!"

"This is interesting."

Wei Jing immediately picked it up, opened the title page, and began to study it carefully.

Those who close their doors guard their homes and defend against enemies, neither engaging in external confrontations nor revealing their internal weakness.

Defend as if you are going to attack, remain still to control movement, and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

The stick, horizontal like a door bolt, blocks all paths; the stick, upright like a doorpost, stabilizes the entire body.

"This is actually a 'cowardly' staff technique." After reading its general outline, Wei Jing roughly understood that this staff technique was upside down.

As the saying goes, a wise man does not act unless he is absolutely certain of his actions, but when he does, his actions are earth-shattering.

When there are no opportunities, focus on defense, remain unchanged in the face of all changes, and use your weapon to block all your weaknesses.

Once the opponent reveals a weakness, the strike is swift and powerful, killing the enemy with a single blow.

"Good, this staff technique is excellent." Wei Jing smiled, then took the manual and found a secluded room on the fourth floor of the Transmission Hall to practice.

This training lasted for seven or eight days. Wei Jing tempered his bones and practiced his staff training simultaneously, without neglecting either.

In seven or eight days, he had tempered all 24 ribs in his chest, and his strength had improved significantly.

He also specially exchanged for the Guiyuan Buxue Dan, which replenishes qi and blood.

"Time is precious, I should hurry up and practice a few more spells!" Wei Jing muttered to himself, then pushed open the stone door of the secret chamber. In any case, he had already achieved his goal for this trip.

Pushing open the door, Wei Jing found that Lu Xueqi was nowhere to be seen.

"Have they left?" Wei Jing muttered to himself, then walked to the bookshelf and began to select spells that suited his taste.

Once you've mastered the body-strengthening and staff techniques, all you need to do is work harder on them. After all, you just bought a magical weapon, so you should equip it with the corresponding spells and secret techniques, right?

In the following time, Wei Jing chose a footwork-type spell called Shadow Trail.

"Lightning attribute spell, Lightning Summoning Technique, this is good."

"Thunderstorm spell, this is an upgraded version of Spring Rain spell, which can induce widespread rainfall."

"Wind-dispelling technique".

"Flying Sand Technique"

Wei Jing learned seven or eight spells in one go. Since they were free, he figured he might as well learn them.

However, having learned so many different spells, Wei Jing felt as if his brain was completely shut down.

"It's almost time. Let's digest these spells and come back next time!" Wei Jing shook his head.

Before we knew it, a month had passed so quickly.

……

Wei Jing greeted the steward on duty and left the Transmission Hall, piloting the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle towards Jade Lake.

At this moment, Han Yue was still releasing the newly purchased grass carp fry into the lake. He was navigating a small boat and releasing the fry in the center of the lake.

It's all Wei Jing's fault for being so absurd; he sold off the spirit fish before they were even fully grown.

It's like draining the pond only to have the fish die.

"Han Yue, how's the situation here?" Wei Jing put away the Cloud-Breaking Shuttle and landed in the center of the lake. He walked on the water as if it were flat ground.

The waves and spray of Jade Lake could not even wet Wei Jing's trouser legs.

"Reporting back, Young Master Wei, everything is fine."

"Even though Jade Lake feels a bit empty." Han Yue glanced at Wei Jing with a resentful look. Not only was Jade Lake empty, but his own heart also felt empty.

"Ahem, you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on the growth of the spirit rice in the spirit field." After saying that, Wei Jing used the Shadow Tracking Step, and Han Yue could only see a series of afterimages.

Wei Jing's true form had already crossed Jade Lake and was rushing away into the distance.

"Wow, that was fast! Young Master Wei's cultivation has increased so much again?" Han Yue murmured, looking in the direction where Wei Jing had disappeared.

Beyond the emerald lake lies an endless expanse of spiritual fields.

This vast expanse of spiritual land belongs to the wealthy Qu Sancun family, who leases it out to his disciples who serve as servants.

However, he also has to share a portion of the rental income with the Qingfu Sect.

Among the vast expanse of first-tier spirit fields, Wei Jing's twenty acres of second-tier spirit fields stood out conspicuously.

"They're growing well. It seems Uncle Wei and Uncle Bai have put in a lot of effort." Wei Jing smiled.

Wei Jing noticed that the spiritual field was somewhat dry, with the scorching sun relentlessly baking the earth.

Since he was already there, Wei Jing simply used his thunder and rain spell. Instantly, dark clouds churned in the sky above, and soon large raindrops began to fall.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, bringing with it a torrential downpour.

"This Spring Thunder spell is far more violent than the Spring Rain spell." Wei Jing himself was soaked to the bone.

Wei Jing walked through the rain.

The rain came quickly and went quickly.

That night, Wei Jing returned to his cave dwelling on Xiaozhu Peak. As soon as he entered, Ma Liu came to report.

"Young Master Wei, someone from the Enforcement Hall just came and said that the first trial of your true discipleship is to go to the Spirit Mist Forest to kill a top-tier first-order demon beast, a hundred-year-old Black-striped Horned Python."

Ma Liu's face was filled with worry.

With Wei Shao only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, wouldn't it be too risky for him to kill a top-tier first-order demonic beast?
