After returning from the deep valley, another half a month had passed. Shaw Danon had been in Jadeon for a full three years. At the same time, he had also ended his bamboo cutting career. But at the end of the day, the results he handed in made him feel ashamed.
Because of that inexplicable trip to the deep valley, in the next half month, Shaw Danon often felt dizzy, lacking of Qi and blood, his whole body was especially easily tired. He secretly guessed that it might be caused by the massive bleeding he saw when he was delirious that day. But after checking his body, there was no wound. His heart was uneasy, but he did not dare to ask his master, so he buried it in his heart.
But he did not speak, but his body reacted. Usually, he would be able to chop off at least two Big Black Bamboo, but now, after chopping a few times, he was already panting and sweating profusely. After half a day, he could not even chop off a single Big Black Bamboo. Actually, it was not surprising. That day in the deep valley, "Sinister Orb" almost absorbed half of his blood. If his body was not strong, he would have been bedridden. But Shaw Danon wanted to cut bamboo like before, it was also wishful thinking.
This situation continued until half a month later, Shaw Danon felt his body was slightly better, his spirit and strength were better. But the bamboo cutting homework was also finished at this time. On the last day, under the gaze of Da Shixiong Xavion and others, Shaw Danon used all his strength and finally cut a Black Bamboo before the end of the hour.
Xavion and the rest looked at each other, speechless. Only Tian LingEr walked up, giggled and patted his shoulder, said, "Xiao Fan, don't worry, you have one-tenth of my ability, it is already very good."
Shaw Danon smiled bitterly.
At ten o'clock, the Bamboo Peak people sat in the dining hall. After Tian Bolis and his wife sat down, Xavion first reported Shaw Danon's situation. Tian Bolis sneered, did not even look at Shaw Danon, but Surin smiled, said: "Ah, Xiao Fan, you have been in Bamboo Peak for three years."
Shaw Danon quickly said: "Yes, Shi niang."
Suru sighed softly and said, "Sigh, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed." Then, she suddenly paused, raised her voice, said to the other six disciples: "Do you all feel the same?"
The Bamboo Peak disciples were all shocked, immediately sat up straight, said: "Yes!"
Surin snorted, said: "Now your Xiao Shidi has grown up, but you all still have no progress in these three years. Are you going to anger me and your master to death?"
No one dared to speak, but they all looked at Xavion. Under the urging of the other Junior Brothers, Xavion braced himself and said, "Don't worry, Master's wife. We will definitely do our best this time!"
SuRu's face clearly showed the word 'don't believe', just as she was about to speak, Tian BuYi suddenly interrupted, "lao liu."
Amandla's body shivered, raised his head, surprised: "Sixth."
Tian Bolis said indifferently: "These few days I saw you dancing in front of the pots and pans in your spare time, what's going on?"
Du BiShu's face turned red, he was tongue-tied and stammered, "Teacher, you, how did you see it?"
Amandla hesitated for a while, whispered: "Disciple wants to see if I can make those things move."
Everyone was moved, "Drive" was the fundamental foundation of Jadeon's esper cultivation, it was unimaginable without reaching Pure Essence Yu Qing level four.
Everyone was moved. The realm of "Driving Objects" was the fundamental foundation of cultivating magical treasures in Jadeon Taoism. It was unimaginable unless one had reached the fourth level of Pure Essence Yu Qing.
Tian Bolis nodded, although there was no expression on his face, but a trace of joy flashed across his eyes, said: "How is it?"
"Boom", everyone was in an uproar, all surprised. Fifth Ludaxin, who was sitting beside him, patted his shoulder, his face full of smiles.
Surin was also beaming with joy, said: "Good boy, didn't expect you to be so successful. When did it happen?" Amandla was influenced by the crowd, also relaxed, said: "Just recently. A few days ago, I was practicing in my room, suddenly felt the cup on the table moved under my telekinesis, so I guessed if I had broken through the third level."
Du BiShu was influenced by the crowd, also relaxed and said, "Just recently, a few days ago when I was practicing in my room, I suddenly felt that under the influence of my mind power, the cup on the table moved a little, I guessed that it might be because I broke through the third level." Amandla smiled: "It's like this. Yu Qing level four and level three, although there is a world of difference in effect, there is no obvious difference.
Tian Bolis smiled: "It's like this, between Yu Qing level four and level three, although the effect is as different as heaven and earth, but there is no obvious difference at the beginning of practice. Everyone laughed, congratulated him. Hidi interrupted: "Sixth Shixiong, have you decided what esper to cultivate?"
Amandla was startled, said: "No, I just learned from master that I have cultivated to level four, didn't have time to think about it."
Surin smiled: "No hurry, take your time to think about it. But you all know your master's temper, he never forced you to cultivate. What do you like, then go find the materials."
Suru smiled and said, "There's no rush. You can slowly think about it in the next few days. However, you all know your master's temper. He will never force you to cultivate the Immortal Sword. You can find the materials once you have thought about it."
Shaw Danon was extremely envious. Seeing Sixth Shixiong's face was full of teeth, Tian Bolis said: "Sixth."
Du BiShu quickly said, "Master."
Tian Bolis said: "According to our Jadeon tradition, disciples who have reached the fourth level of Pure Essence, must go down the mountain and travel around the world, at the same time look for good materials and magical items to practice esper. As to whether you can get the magical item that can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it depends on your luck. You should get ready and go down the mountain in a few days. "
Du BiShu was startled for a moment, in his eyes there was some reluctance and also some joy, he quietly said, "Yes." Then, he thought of something and said, "But Master, this disciple has always been in charge of the meals here, but after this disciple left …"
Beside him, Lv Daxin laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Didn't you have me before you joined the sect? Don't worry, you won't starve to death."
Du BiShu and the rest all laughed out, only Tian LingEr at the side laughed and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, you still have the cheek to say that, the food you cooked, when I was young, I always had nightmares!"
Lui Daxin blushed, everyone burst into laughter. When the laughter stopped, Tian Bolis lightly said: "From now on, let lao qi do the kitchen work."
Everyone startled, Lv Daxin hesitated, said: "Master, Shidi is still young …"
Tian Bolis looked at Shaw Danon, Shaw Danon quickly said: "Don't worry Master, I often follow Sixth Shixiong to help in the kitchen, I know how to cook."
Tian Bolis nodded, did not say much, waved his hand: "Eat!"
Three days later, Du BiShu finished packing, arranged all the kitchen work, then went down the mountain. For three years, among the Shixiongs, Du BiShu was the youngest, his personality was also lively, Shaw Danon was the closest to him. Now that he left, Shaw Danon was quite reluctant, felt that Bamboo Peak suddenly became a bit more lonely.
After that, Shaw Danon began his second "homework" in Jadeon - cooking.
That day was the first time he officially cooked. He worked alone in the kitchen for the whole morning, washing rice and washing vegetables. It was already noon. Tian Bolis and others entered the dining hall. The table was filled with food as usual. Shaw Danon sat at the end of the table, hands clasped together, trembling, anyone could feel the nervousness.
They sat down, Tian Bolis did not say anything, but Surin looked at Shaw Danon, smiled, said: "Xiao Fan, how do you feel for your first time cooking?"
Shaw Danon opened his mouth, but could not think of what to say. Tian Bolis snorted, said: "Eat." The disciples answered, picked up the chopsticks and put it into their mouths.
In the dining hall, it was silent.
Shaw Danon's nervous heart jumped to his throat, cold sweat came out from his forehead, whispered: "Master, Shixiong, I, I did not do well, you, you all …"
"Wow, it's so delicious!" Hidi suddenly shouted, couldn't help but put a piece of bamboo shoot into her mouth. Shaw Danon startled, saw the Shixiongs were all smiling, nodding, eating like the wind, praising.
"Can't believe Xiao Shidi has this skill, amazing, amazing!"
"Well, it's better than Laowu, no, it's better than Laowu and Laowu combined, hehe!"
Even Tian Bolis also picked up a few more chopsticks, nodded, a bit of smile in his eyes. Shaw Danon saw that, a sense of satisfaction rose in his eyes.
After that, Shaw Danon continued to cook in the kitchen. He had yet to reveal any talent in the cultivation of Dao techniques, but he was actually quite talented in cooking. His skills were self-taught, and the dishes he cooked were delicious, far better than those of others. In his heart, as long as Tian Bolis slightly nodded his approval, it was already the greatest joy.
Time flew, another half a year had passed. Jadeon's "Seven Peaks Tournament", which happens once every sixty years, was getting closer. Not only Surin, even Tian Bolis began to urge his disciples. Everyone was focused on cultivation, but no one bothered Shaw Danon. They did not have any hope on him anyway.
As for Shaw Danon, he did not care. Every day he was busy in the kitchen, he learned some happiness from the pots and pans. In his free time, he practiced cultivation, and every night he practiced "Fawin Wisdom". His days passed peacefully.
During this time, the gray monkey he brought back from the deep valley lived with him for half a year. The monkey and human were very close. Shaw Danon even gave it a name — — Ashh. The name was just like his own name, plain and inconspicuous.
Ever since he began to work in the kitchen, Little Grey was in a favorable position, often following him to the kitchen, grabbing a piece of bamboo shoot here, a piece of fruit there, stealing food all day long. But in this Bamboo Peak, the monkey Little Grey still has a rival, and that is the big yellow dog that Tian Boli raised from a young age — — Da Huang.
For some reason, Big Yellow always found this monkey an eyesore. In the beginning, every time it saw Xiao Hui, it would bark incessantly, scaring Xiao Hui so much that it would hide on higher ground, after a long time, it finally reluctantly admitted that Xiao Hui was a member of Big Bamboo Valley. But every time they met, it would bare its teeth and make a ferocious expression, every time Xiao Hui was scared to the point of [Zi zi] screeching, Big Yellow would [Woof woof woof] a few times, raised its head, wagged its tail and walked to one side.
Autumn passed and winter came. Bamboo Peak's weather was getting colder. Except for Tian Bolis and his wife who had high cultivation and were not afraid of the cold, the rest of the disciples slowly put on clothes.
Today, Bamboo Peak had a rare warm sunshine. Shaw Danon finished his work in the kitchen, walked out, stretched, then sat down next to a pine tree, leaned against the trunk, closed his eyes, comfortably enjoying the sunshine.
After sitting for a while, when he was about to fall asleep, Shaw Danon suddenly heard barking in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw Big Yella was lying on the ground in front of him, lazily basking in the sun. Ashh was moving toward Big Yella step by step from behind.
Shaw Danon was surprised. Big Yella often went to the kitchen to eat. They were very familiar with each other, so he was very clear about the relationship between the monkey and the dog. But today, it was like the sun rose from the west. Ashh was approaching Big Yella. Shaw Danon became alert and stared at the front.
Xiao Hui was seen approaching Da Huang very quickly, although Da Huang could not see what was behind him but with a twitch of its nose, it immediately smelled something strange behind it, turned around and immediately opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, [Woof woof woof] continuously barked a few times.
Ashh's body shrank, still a little scared. But the monkey's eyes rolled, raised his right hand, and waved it in front of Big Yella.
Da Huang at first thought nothing of it, barked incessantly at Xiao Hui, unexpectedly after a while its nose sniffed a few times, as if it smelt something, its two dog eyes immediately stared at Xiao Hui's hand, did not blink, did not move, also stopped barking, opened its mouth and stretched out its long tongue, even its dog tail also started to wag incessantly, showing friendliness.
Shaw Danon was surprised. He couldn't help but laugh. Ashh was holding a piece of meat bone in his hand. The fragrance was so strong that he could smell it from far away. He used it to make soup. Because he knew Big Yella loved to eat this, he sealed it and put it on a high place. But Ashh stole a piece and came to get close to Big Yella.
Ashh shook it twice, then threw the meat bone in front of Big Yella. Big Yella's mouth was already drooling. He immediately opened his mouth and bit the meat bone. Ashh looked at Big Yella, called out twice, carefully approached Big Yella. After a moment of hesitation, he reached out his hand and touched Big Yella's head.
Big Yella suddenly called out quietly. Ashh quickly took back his hand, but after a while, he couldn't help but reached out his hand and touched Big Yella's head again. This time Big Yella did not respond, he was busy eating the meat bone. Ashh put his hand on Big Yella's head, gently stroked Big Yella's bright and soft yellow hair. Big Yella seemed to feel very comfortable. He shrunk a little and let out a low growl. But there was no hostility.
Xiao Hui became more daring, laughed and called out twice, started to rummage through Da Huang's fur, seemed to be looking for lice, Da Huang turned its head and actually used its tongue to lick Xiao Hui, this monkey and dog were incomparably intimate, becoming more intimate than anything else.
Shaw Danon was stunned, thinking that Ashh was really smart, but it seemed like he needed to hide the bone even more secretly in the future.
While he was thinking, suddenly there was a sound of breaking air. Two beams of white light came from the west. Big Yella was surprised, barked loudly at the white light. Ashh reached out his hand and patted Big Yella's head. It seemed like he was comforting Big Yella. But it was very effective. Big Yella immediately calmed down.
Shaw Danon saw the two beams of white light landed in front of the main hall, "Hall of Quietude". After a flash of light, two people appeared. One of them was tall and handsome. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, very handsome. The other person was a young man, shorter than him, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Shaw Danon suddenly held his breath. A forgotten sorrow rose from deep in his heart. Because of that lonely figure!
"Jing Yu?" He stood up, his voice becoming hoarse as he called out.
The young man's body shook, immediately turned around. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, seemed like he wanted to say something. But in the end, thousands of words turned into two words:
"Xiao Fan!"
