Charcoal, whose head was in Miao Yi's embrace for a while, still couldn't change his nature. Fatty was delicious!
He turned around and threw Miao Yi to the side. He leaped down the steps and ran around the courtyard. With a whoosh, he soared into the sky and scurried out. The sound of galloping hooves could be heard from outside, running towards the lake in search of food.
Miao Yi and the two girls stared blankly at the direction Charcoal had disappeared in.
Meanwhile, Yao Ruoxian lifted his wide sleeve and looked at the group of tiny mantids hanging inside. He then turned around to look at where Charcoal had been sleeping, and then looked at Miao Yi with a face full of suspicion.
Needless to say, the Hell Mantis's offspring was already strange enough. Now there was a dragon steed that could refine Yao Cores, and a Glorious Star immortal herb that bore immortal fruits. His stunning spear arts were beyond compare. Even with his cultivation, he couldn't probe into the fat thief's body, but this kid could …
All sorts of strange things came together, causing Yao Ruoxian to feel that Miao Yi was full of mysteries.
"Senior Yao, what's wrong with Charcoal?" Miao Yi turned around and asked.
'If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask? ' Yao Ruoxian muttered in his heart, but acted as if he knew everything. "Nothing much. Eating Yao Cores is very nourishing."
"Nourishing?" Miao Yi was stunned. This was the first time he heard of eating Yao Cores being nourishing.
Without waiting for him to ask further, Yao Ruoxian had already turned around and shouted at the two girls, "What are you doing here? Why don't you practice more?"
Miao Yi didn't know what they were practicing, but he saw Qian'Er and Xue'Er bashfully taking out an Inversed-Scales Spear from their storage rings.
The two girls obeyed their Master's instructions. They danced the Inversed-Scales Spear until it let out a dragon's roar, clanging against each other.
Although the spears were the same as Miao Yi's, in the hands of the two girls, it was like they were each brandishing a large embroidery needle. It was too feminine. What a mess. Miao Yi felt his teeth ache just looking at them.
With this spear art, he reckoned it wouldn't be a problem to kill the enemy. It wouldn't be a problem to the enemy, but it could hurt himself.
Yao Ruoxian stole a glance at Miao Yi's twitching lips. His eyes flashed with a snicker. He coughed and said, "Take your time to practice. Practice makes perfect. "With that, he calmly left with his hands behind his back.
After watching the two girls practice their spear techniques for a while, Miao Yi finally couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted, "Stop!"
Down the steps. Walking to the side of the two girls who had sheathed their spears, Miao Yi covered his face with both hands and wiped his face forcefully. He asked, "Qian 'er, Xue' er, is this the spear art that Senior Yao taught you?"
The two girls looked at each other guiltily. Snow replied meekly, "Master didn't teach us any spear techniques."
"You haven't been taught before?" Miao Yi furrowed his brows. "Then why are you guys training so well here? Blindly practicing? "
Qian 'er scratched her red lips with her pearly white teeth. He lowered his head and said, "Master asked us to deliberately practice in front of you for you to see."
"Show me? What do you mean?" Miao Yi didn't understand.
"Master said that Master's spear technique is good …"
The two girls didn't dare to hide anything from him. They didn't even need to interrogate him. They immediately sold Yao Ruoxian out, revealing everything that he had said back then.
After listening to them, Miao Yi fell into silence. He didn't blame the two girls. Even though Yao Ruoxian harbored ulterior motives, it seemed that most masters would pass on their skills to their personal handmaidens, so that they could be trusted aides. It was fine if he didn't pass on a cultivation technique to them. But if he didn't even pass on some self-defense skills, then it would be a little unreasonable.
These two girls were his trusted aides. It wouldn't be wrong to call them his women. If he wanted to take their bodies, it would only be a matter of time. Indeed, he needed to train them so that they could be of use to him in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease leaving some things to others.
"Have you finished refining the talismans that Senior Yao refined for you?" Miao Yi had to be concerned about this matter. That shameless old man always cheated him of his things.
The two girls nodded. They each took out ten talismans, each about the size of a handwritten note. They were as dark as ink.
Miao Yi received them and examined them. He saw the word 'Break' floating on the talismans. Some of them had the word 'Open' floating on them. He had never seen such a thing before, so he asked in confusion, "What kind of talismans are these?"
Qian 'Er replied, "This is a First Grade Mountain Breaking Talisman. When you encounter danger, you can blast your way through. This is a First Grade Body Securing Talisman. It can immobilize an enemy. Master said that a First Grade Talisman is enough to deal with a White Lotus cultivator, but it won't be of much use against a Blue Lotus cultivator and above. "
Miao Yi nodded. He had heard of it before, but this was his first time seeing it.
After taking inventory, he realized that Yao Ruoxian had actually refined five Mountain Breaking Talismans and five Body Securing Talismans for the two girls. There were a total of twenty talismans. Just thinking about it made his heart ache. Not counting the others, a single talisman was equivalent to using a First Grade Yao Core, which was equivalent to a hundred low-grade Orbs of Will. Twenty First Grade Yao Cores would be equivalent to two thousand low-grade Orbs of Will.
This was equivalent to casually throwing out a talisman during a fight, and a hundred low-grade Orbs of Will would be gone just like that. It was too extravagant, and wasn't something an average cultivator could afford. That was why very few people used it. He had only seen the Lady Boss use it once in the Mystic Arts Temple.
He himself had never been so extravagant, and now his handmaidens were even more extravagant than he was. How could he say anything?
Miao Yi wanted to keep a few talismans for later use, but he was a little embarrassed. As the master, he couldn't covet his handmaidens' belongings.
After returning the talismans to the two girls, Miao Yi turned around and walked towards the main hall. When he reached the main hall's entrance, he pondered and stopped.
He slowly turned around to look at the two girls, and said in a solemn tone, "Even if I teach my spear arts, it is not something that an average person can learn. The higher the cultivation of my spear arts, the harder it is for them to learn. They will need to start from scratch. On this point, the two of you more or less meet the requirements. It's just that practicing my spear arts requires a lot of suffering. I wonder if the two of you can endure this hardship?"
The two girls were instantly overjoyed, and nodded repeatedly, "You can endure hardship."
"It's alright. If you can't endure it, you can stop." Miao Yi smiled.
Miao Yi turned around and summoned Yan Xiu. After giving him some instructions, he led the two girls into the mountains on Charcoal.
Not long after, a few silhouettes quickly flew out from the mountains. Invoking his arts, Yao Ruoxian carried the three girls and Charcoal towards the vast ocean.
In the end, they landed on the island where Miao Yi had brought the two girls to cultivate.
After surveying the terrain, they stopped in front of a waterfall in the mountains. Miao Yi stared at the waterfall for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Why? Is this place no good? We can look for another one. "
Beside him, Yao Ruoxian appeared to be even more anxious than the two girls.
Miao Yi shook his head again. It wasn't that it wasn't good, but when he thought back to the pointers Lao Bai had given him all those years ago, he vaguely realized that Qian'Er and Xue'Er had already passed the optimal period of tempering their muscles and bones. At first, he hadn't even cultivated his transcendence source, but he was already excavating the waterfall. Meanwhile, Qian'Er and Xue'Er's cultivation had already reached White Lotus First Grade.
Back then, he wouldn't have known the reason, but now he knew where the gap between them was.
Miao Yi turned around to look at the two girls, "From now on, the two of you will stop using Orbs of Will. Practicing the basics of my spear arts is the most important thing. You can't use Orbs of Will anymore."
Yao Ruoxian didn't care if they understood or not, and immediately reprimanded the two girls, "Did you hear that? Remember your Master's words. From now on, don't use Orbs of Will anymore. It won't be too late to use them after you've mastered your spear arts." After saying that, he turned around and asked Miao Yi politely, "Is that what I meant?"
"That's exactly what I meant." Miao Yi nodded, and continued, "From now on, when you're meditating and cultivating, just sit under this waterfall. Invoke your arts and endure the continuous scouring of this waterfall." He pointed at the waterfall, but didn't mention what stage he would be considered a success.
"Yes!" The two girls nodded in response.
At the side, Yao Ruoxian's eyes were also darting around, silently committing it to memory.
What a joke. He had long coveted Miao Yi's spear arts, but he knew that this kind of special skill wouldn't be easily revealed. Now that the opportunity had come knocking on his door, how could he miss it?
Miao Yi turned around and brought them to the front of a few stone mountains. He personally carved out two wooden spears and threw them to the two girls. He pointed at the stone mountains and said, "Use the wooden spears in your hands to dismember it. Don't use any other tricks. If the stone mountain collapses, and the wooden spears don't break, then you'll be considered a success!"
And so, from this day onwards, the two girls began to cultivate like ascetic monks.
To these two girls, who had never done any hard labor before and had always lived in luxury in East Arrival Cave, it was definitely a huge torture. The two beautiful girls were tormented into the appearance of beggars, and were in an extremely sorry state.
Even Yan Xiu couldn't bear to watch their pitiful appearance any longer. To a cultivator, raising one's own cultivation was the most important thing. He had never seen such a method of cultivation.
Women loved to look beautiful. When they saw their snow-white skin starting to turn rough and tan, and how their hands couldn't avoid the thick, bloody calluses forming on them even with their transcendence energy to defend themselves, and then looked at the mountain that would take who knows how long to dismember. Then, when they sat under the waterfall in exhaustion and were constantly in a mess, the two girls cried countless times, and began to think of retreating.
On the other hand, Yao Ruoxian was bitterly cheering them on from the side, "You two silly girls. This is a rare opportunity. Hold on. There are some things that will benefit you for the rest of your life once you learn them."
Miao Yi didn't seem to care about this at all. He quietly cultivated in the cave alone, and only occasionally went out to check on the progress of the two girls.
What Miao Yi didn't know was that from the day he taught the two girls how to cultivate, Yao Ruoxian had also secretly stopped using his Orbs of Will.
While the two girls were fighting with their lives on the mountain, Yao Ruoxian quietly slipped under the waterfall, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
But to him, he couldn't feel the waterfall washing over him in the slightest. From time to time, he would look up, and reckoned that he could sit under the waterfall for the rest of his life without any problems. A mere waterfall wouldn't be able to shake him in the slightest. Not to mention throwing him off his feet, not even a drop of water could touch his body.
However, he still calmly sat under the waterfall to experience the washing over him, and waited for the day he would awaken his Aperture.
One night, the exhausted Qian'Er and Xue'Er sat cross-legged under the waterfall to meditate. Yao Ruoxian then slipped away to the other side of the island. He stealthily sharpened a wooden spear and launched a ferocious attack on a rocky mountain in front of him.
With his cultivation, not to mention a wooden spear, he could even smash the mountain with his head. In just a moment, a wooden spear had razed the entire mountain to the ground.
