The First Beastmaster of the Nine Realms

Chapter 30 I Thought Little Shell Lived in Huxiao Mountain

After finishing the first stage of "Iron Birch Hand", Jian Baisan didn't go to the Dragon Gate Pagoda to find the strange old man, but planned to practice the second stage together before going.

Compared with the previous stage, the second stage can be said to be the gap between Avici Hell and human life.The flesh and bones of the palm have been trained again, the only problem is that the flexibility of the fingers is not enough.

Although the palm has become hard, it is also very stiff.

When Jian Baisan had just completed the first stage, she originally wanted to relax for at least a day.As a result, reaching out to draw a knife, holding chopsticks, and even hugging a dog was quite strenuous. It was the first time that she realized that it was so difficult to bend her fingers into a posture that is easy to hold a knife—just like an eight-year-old child riding a full-grown horse. Can't hold the reins.

No way, she could only start collecting gravel from that day on to exercise the flexibility of her hands.

It's a pity that there were too few gravels, so she simply went to the backyard, chiseled some hard dry soil with a chisel, and broke them into small pieces the size of a fingernail, which could be regarded as gravel.

Jian Baisan put the Jade Guanyin around his neck at the bottom of the tank, piled small soil clods on it, put his hands flat, and slowly mobilized his palm and finger muscles, using his fingers one by one without turning his wrist as much as possible. Pick up the clods of soil and throw them out of the tank, and sweep around until you get the Jade Guanyin, which is one round.

During this process, she herself could clearly feel that with thousands of times of stretching her fingers and rubbing her hands against hard clods, her fingers had regained their flexibility—even more agile than before practicing martial arts. soft.

It was almost a daily routine for Ji Dingxiang to touch her hand, and she exclaimed in surprise for the last time: "It really feels like a hand!"

It was as if she was not touching human hands every day before.

Jian Baisan's second stage of cultivation only took more than ten days.After that, she visited Longmen Pagoda three times, and each time she waited for the old man for a day at Longmen Pagoda, but she never saw him once.

No wonder the old man said, "I was not on duty for the first twelve times, today is our fate." I dare to say that this old man doesn't come here very often all year round, but he finally came to meet Jian Baisan once. It is indeed fate .

Jian Baisan had no choice but to put the matter on hold temporarily, and went back to discuss with Ji Dingxiang about the task.

Ji Dingxiang: "I've already figured it out. The tasks that can be done by the sect are either mortals in the jurisdiction outside asking for help, or other sects come to us when they encounter things related to spirit beasts. The points in the front are not as high as those in the back."

"Should we be a sect?" Jian Baisan asked with some resistance.

Their qi refining disciples don't know how to control swords, so it's very inconvenient to travel. They can only take the flying spirit beast of the sect, and they need three spirit stones for a round trip.

Jian Baisan originally only had ten spirit stones in his hand, but he went down the mountain to buy ingredients a few days ago, and now he even has five spirit stones left in his hand - if he goes back and forth like this again, he will be very poor.

"The task of going out of the sect gives you a lot of points!" Ji Dingxiang took Jian Baisan's monthly salary, and now she doesn't feel bad about the round trip fee at all: "The task in the sect is nothing interesting, just copying books , Copying the list of disciples, or cleaning the spirit beast garden, cleaning the elder peak... at most one point at a time, and one-half points if there is less. What do you want to do?"

Jian Baisan got dizzy as soon as she listened to copying the book. She only copied two-thirds of the "Nine Realm Affairs Records" that Elder Gong asked her to copy under Luo Xiaoyu's persecution and supervision. When she came out of Xiaoyu Peak, It was because I suddenly didn’t want to copy a word.

Don't know why.

She hurriedly said: "Forget it then. Tell me about the mission you have chosen?"

"I always choose the kind of tasks that mortals ask for help! This kind of points is quite reasonable, basically two to five points."

Ji Dingxiang took out two scrolls from her arms and put them in front of her for her to read.

Worried that Jian Baisan would not understand, she read it carefully: "Well, the first one is Baiqiu Village. It is said that a lot of foxes suddenly appeared in the village recently."

"A villager said that when he returned home with his wife after work at noon, he found that three red foxes had entered the house for some reason, and they were not afraid of people. One was lying on the kang with its stomach upright and pretended to be dead, and the other was lying on the table. , standing like a human being, and kept hitting the other hand."

"His wife drove the fox away, and it took a long time for his wife to figure it out."

Jian Baisan became interested: "What?"

"Those three foxes were obviously imitating their actions this morning! This morning, the villager didn't want to wake up on the kang. The lady ate the meal with the child first. The child was disobedient and put his hand into the porridge bowl. The lady slapped his hand."

Jian Baisan thought about this scene, feeling numb.

Ji Dingxiang said: "When the villagers asked, they found that foxes had appeared in many people's homes somehow. So they were frightened and ran to the sect for help. Finally, this task was assigned D level, three points."

Jian Baisan felt a little weird, it always reminded her of the empty window paper when she looked out of the window that night in Huxiao Mountain.

Jian Baisan asked, "What about the other one?"

Just as Ji Dingxiang took out the scroll, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

A familiar voice came from the door: "Is Baisan there? Little Beike just came back, but it flew to me."

After being busy practicing for a month, she almost forgot about the little shell, but she didn't expect her senior brother to pay her a sudden visit.Jian Baisan felt as if his own brother had come, and felt excited, jumped up and ran towards the gate.

When Ji Dingxiang heard the man's voice, she was a little vigilant: "Who is it?"

Jian Baisan: "Don't worry, the door is my senior brother!"

Opening the door, there was indeed the familiar red-clothed boy at the door, holding the birdcage in his hand, and stretched his other hand into the birdcage to pinch its beak——

"Hello, junior sister, long time no see."

Jian Baisan's eyes lit up: "Brother!"
