In a blink of an eye.

Another four days have passed.

Today Li Jiuqing has to go back to the Li Family Courtyard to show his face and report.

Four days of practice.

Li Jiuqing's cultivation has barely improved a little.

"It seems..."

"Those four people will not come in a short time."

For seven consecutive days, the four tomb robbers did not come. Li Jiuqing estimated that something must have happened there, but now there is no leader and Li Jiuqing can't guess too much. After picking up the wooden crutches, Li Jiuqing returned to the Li Family Courtyard first.

This time he went back to find out how long the birthday banquet of the Li Family mistress would be.

If he wanted to use the Li Family as a springboard to enter the Qingyang Sect, all plans must be completed before the birthday banquet of the Li Family mistress.

Half an hour later.

Li Jiuqing limped back to the Li Family.

It must be said that although the Li family is now a little declining, the entire facade is still very decent. The ground is paved with thick stone slabs, the buildings on both sides are also very impressive, and even the surrounding trees are planted lushly.

"Hmm?"

At this time, when Li Jiuqing returned to the errand yard, a burst of noise came one after another, and he looked at it.

In the central square of the errand yard, a young man wearing brocade clothes, with a fair complexion and a jade crown on his head was standing there.

The young man was smiling and looked amiable. When he waved his hand, the guards behind him brought out a lot of food and new clothes.

"What's going on?"

Li Jiuqing has been in the Li family for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a situation.

The noble man has a good temperament. It is not surprising that he should be a direct descendant of the Li family. Li Jiuqing has only seen such a person once or twice in the errand yard for so many years.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"The second young master is here to sympathize with our servants."

"Hey, wait for me a moment."

"Hurry up, or you'll miss it if you go later. The mistress' birthday banquet is coming soon, and everyone can get some reward money now."

Li Jiuqing stood still, relying on his sharp five senses to roughly hear about the matter.

Li Jiuqing didn't change his expression, turned around and walked towards Li Lei's residence, first reported the matter at the mausoleum, and asked Li Lei about it.

In a room used for public affairs.

Li Jiuqing stood below, Li Lei sat in front of him, took a sip of tea, looked at Li Jiuqing and asked: "Are there any abnormalities these days?"

Li Jiuqing shook his head and said respectfully: "Reply to the steward, I went out at noon according to your instructions, and stayed in the house the rest of the time, and didn't find anything unusual."

Li Lei heard the words and a sharp look fell directly on Li Jiuqing.

"You lie!"

"I'm asking you again, what happened in the mausoleum?!"

As Li Lei spoke, a stream of spiritual energy turned into a faint pressure and pressed towards Li Jiuqing. When Li Jiuqing felt this pressure, the spiritual energy in his body instantly floated up to resist it, but was immediately suppressed by Li Jiuqing.

Then Li Jiuqing took two steps back and said with a panic on his face.

"My Lord, I really don't know."

Li Lei narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and then smiled indifferently, "Is that so? I must have been wrong."

"That's it."

"In that case, you can go back. Just come back every half a month to report in the future."

Li Lei's sudden change made Li Jiuqing a little surprised, but Li Jiuqing managed his expression very well, and then quickly left here.

Li Jiuqing took a few detours, and after leaving Li Lei, he went to Li Tong to briefly ask about the Li family mistress.

When he learned that the Li family mistress's birthday banquet was less than two months away, Li Jiuqing calculated slightly in his heart.

"Look, you've accepted your fate."

"That's good. Although there's no future in looking after the mausoleum, at least you won't be bullied."

Li Tong said to Li Jiuqing in the tone of an experienced person.

Li Jiuqing nodded casually, and looked at Li Tong twice more when he agreed on the surface.

Both are errand boys.

This Li Tong has almost no cultivation. If there is any difference, it's just that his physical fitness is better than those errand boys, after all, he eats better.

When Li Lei was releasing his pressure just now, Li Jiuqing judged through the fluctuation of spiritual energy that Li Lei had at least the third level of Qi Refining!

In response, Li Jiuqing looked at Li Tong and asked, "Li, as a steward, don't you want to practice cultivation?"

Li Tong laughed when he heard this, "Practice cultivation?"

"Boy, have you read too many miscellaneous notes and lost your mind?"

"Do you know how many stewards with the surname Li there are in the Li family?"

"Practicing cultivation requires spiritual roots, mental methods, and resources. With the salary of ordinary stewards like us, even if we work for a lifetime and save money, we can't buy a mental method."

Li Tong didn't say anything more, and followed Li Jiuqing to ask again, "Won't the Li family give you some ordinary mental methods?"

Li Tong glanced at Li Jiuqing speechlessly.

"What are you thinking about? Even at the level of the chief steward, the Li family will not give out mental methods. Here, only those who have the blood of the Li family in their bodies, or those who are collateral, can enjoy that treatment."

"For us, we are just mixed-lineage with the surname Li, it is impossible."

As soon as this was said, Li Jiuqing could be sure that Li Lei... had a problem.

If nothing else, this Li Lei should be in the same group as those men in black who robbed the tomb.

...

Noon.

By the time Li Jiuqing returned to the stone house, a moment had passed at noon. However, Li Jiuqing, who came back this time, was not in a hurry to enter the cultivation state.

"One finger from the spirit snake!"

"Golden Toad Step!"

Li Jiuqing knew that with the spiritual roots in his body now, it would not be enough time to step into the second level of Qi refining, and in order to increase his strength, he could only practice magic first.

The Finger of the Spiritual Snake is a yellow-level high-grade spell. After being used, the energy can be condensed between the fingers to create a sharp finger.

The reason why this technique is called Spirit Snake One Finger is because after this technique is played, the attack path can be changed according to the caster's thoughts.

At the entry level, you can use the Spirit Snake to shoot in an arc with one finger, and the attack will have unexpected effects.

After completing it, you can change it in multiple stages at will. Even if you attack upward, you can also fly from top to left or right under the control of your mind.

At the Dacheng level, you can directly point out a spiritual snake that is truly gathered by spiritual energy. The spiritual snake is winding, can attack and defend, and can move very fast. It is a real foundation-building method.

Therefore, the Dacheng-level Spirit Snake Finger also needs a foundation-building period before it can exert its full power.

The Golden Toad Step is a middle-level yellow-level technique. After you get started with the practice, you can use the 'Golden Toad Jumping Mountain' to step tens of meters away in one step.

It can be regarded as a speed-increasing technique, and even if you haven't practiced the Golden Toad Step to the beginning, you only need to master the spiritual energy movement of the 'Golden Toad Step' to slightly increase your flexibility.

So after weighing the left and right, Li Jiuqing decided to practice the two techniques together.

Li Jiuqing sat cross-legged in the room. He first started to practice according to the method recorded on the bamboo slips with one finger of the spirit snake. Li Jiuqing himself was not stupid. The only thing he lacked was the spiritual root qualification in his body. Therefore, Li Jiuqing was slow in cultivating the level of mental skills, but he was slower in practicing combat skills. It's very flexible.
