Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 314 The Xuanyuan Sword Technique

In the night, in just one day, Niu Yi used his long sword to build a wooden house with three sections.

Meanwhile, Niu Yi, without batting an eye, was carefully whittling bamboo poles to an average length and then hammering them into the ground with vines, creating a rather large courtyard around the wooden house.

Guo Hai sat on the wooden ladder that Niu Yi had carved, watching with a sense of despair as his young master hammered all the bamboo stalks into the ground one by one.

Today, he gained a new understanding of his young master, and also a new understanding of the world!
Yan Chixia took out a bronze incense burner from the wooden house and walked towards Niu Yi.

When Yan Chixia arrived at Niu Yi's side, he said:
"Hey, that kid looks like he's really alright, isn't he?"

Niu Yi turned to look at Xiao Hai and smiled:

"Don't worry, Senior Yan. Xiao Hai has just never been exposed to these things before. Just give him some time to get used to it."

Yan Chixia nodded, walked to the middle of the courtyard, placed the small bronze incense burner on the wooden table, and took out three red incense sticks from the incense box next to him.

Yan Chixia gently shook the incense sticks in his hands, and they quickly ignited, with wisps of smoke rising into the air.

Yan Chixia inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, chanted a few incantations, pointed at the incense stick, and injected a stream of magical power into it.

Suddenly, the fragrance from the incense stick on the left turned red and rose straight up, extending for a full eight feet before stopping.

Yan Chixia nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Niu Yi and said:
"Guangyi, infuse a wisp of your magical power into this incense, and let me see how powerful you are now."

Niu Yi knocked down the last bamboo stick in his hand, turned around and walked to Yan Chixia's side. Following Yan Chixia's instructions, he pointed to the incense stick on the right.

As the magic power was infused, the fragrance on the incense stick began to turn red. In no time, the fragrance extended to a height of seven inches, forming a stark contrast with the eight-foot-high fragrance next to it.

Yan Chixia exclaimed in admiration:
"In just seven days, his magical power has reached this level. Amazing, truly amazing."

Niu Yi took a couple of sniffs of the fragrance and quickly identified the approximate ingredients and quantities of the incense.

He knew most of them, and had seen them in the herbal medicine shops of this world, but he didn't know exactly what two of them contained spiritual energy.

However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know what they are. Now that he knows the role of these two spiritual materials in this incense, he can naturally find corresponding substitutes.

Yan Chixia had no idea what Niu Yi was thinking. He simply took out two books from his pocket and handed them to Niu Yi.

The Xuanyuan Sword Technique

The Taiyi Exorcising and Demon-Slaying Protective Spell

Yan Chixia said solemnly:

"You are so talented and learn things so quickly. You might as well take these two books and read them carefully. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me anytime."

"But you must remember one thing."

"Even if we cultivate ourselves not to protect all living beings, we must not use such methods to harm others or even aid and abet evil. If we accumulate karmic obstacles, we will have to go to the eighteen levels of hell after death!"

"After all, all your skills were passed down from me. Let me make this clear: if you cause trouble in the future, I will risk my life to take them all back!"

Niu Yi looked at the two books in front of him, and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting:
"Please rest assured, senior. I have always believed that I will not offend others unless they offend me. I act according to my conscience and would never do anything that is utterly immoral."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia frowned slightly; this was quite different from what he had expected.
However, it's not right to force someone to exorcise demons and protect the people just because you've taught them skills.

Furthermore, given this kid's talent, even without me, he would have eventually gone down this path. At least now that I'm watching over him, I won't let him go astray.

"Alright, I'll remember what you said today."

Yan Chixia nodded readily, patted the book in his hand onto Niu Yi's chest, then took the wine gourd from his waist and went back to his house with a flourish. Niu Yi looked at the two rather thick books in his hands, feeling quite expectant.

These two books are almost as if they were personally passed down by Yan Chixia.

He originally expected that with his current cultivation speed, he should be able to catch up with Yan Chixia within half a year. However, if he could obtain more of the world's methods, his deduction speed would definitely increase significantly, and his cultivation speed would also increase accordingly.

Just then, a cold wind blew by, and Xiao Hai subconsciously wrapped himself up tighter, while Niu Yi's eyes flickered as he sensed a hint of yin energy mixed in with the cold wind.

"Ok?"

Niu Yi turned his head to look in the southwest direction, which was the direction of Lanruo Temple, and the wind that had blown earlier had also come from that direction.

At this time of night, apart from the fire burning in the small courtyard, the rest of the forest was pitch black, but Niu Yi's terrifying perception, which was far beyond that of ordinary people, still managed to detect something.

Niu Yi glanced deeply in that direction, then turned and walked back towards the wooden house with the two books in his hand.

With Yan Chixia around, he doesn't need to worry about these things.

"Xiao Hai, you've had a busy day, you should get some rest too."

"Take care, young master."

On a large tree in the forest, a graceful figure in a long white dress stood on a branch, gazing at the small courtyard from afar. After watching for a moment, she flew away.

The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Hai smelled the aroma of meat wafting into his nostrils.

Xiao Hai got up groggily and looked out the window. He saw his young master and that hero Yan setting up a fire outside, with two juicy and delicious pheasants being roasted on the fire.

"roast chicken.?"

Xiao Hai stared at the scene in disbelief.

I wonder what the young master sprinkled on this chicken, the aroma of the meat is so enticing.

Yan Chixia was happily eating a chicken leg and drinking wine.

Noticing the gaze behind him, Yan Chixia turned around and saw Xiao Hai peeking out. He laughed and said:

"What are you standing there for? Your young master caught a few pheasants early this morning, enough for us to have a good meal. Hurry up and eat them while they're hot."

Niu Yi twirled the wooden stick while nodding and smiling at Xiao Hai.

"Oh, young master, I'll help you right away!"

Yan Chixia watched this scene speechlessly, then simply ignored the master and servant pair and continued to eat and drink his food.

He hadn't expected Guangyi to have this skill. For him, the best thing in the world was having both fine wine and delicious food.

Yan Chixia pondered to himself, this kid indeed has quite a few secrets.

When he had someone investigate him before, that person said that Guo Yang was a cowardly young master who was weak and powerless and only knew how to study.

The only redeeming quality is that this young master has an excellent personality and is known far and wide for his kindness.

Now it seems that things are not like that at all. Moreover, since he met this kid, not only is his talent terrifying, but at least until now, he has not seen anything that this kid cannot do.

Could such a person be as cowardly as rumored? Incapable of even killing a chicken?

Perhaps this young man and the Kunlun elder's father foresaw something from the beginning and were deliberately hiding it.
After all, the Kunlun Sect has its share of troubles.
