Not long after.
Zhu Zhuqing finished all the delicacies Qian Renjue had taken out.
"How is it? Are you full?"
Qian Renjue opened his purple eyes.
He looked at the little cat in his arms and spoke softly.
"Yes, full."
Zhu Zhuqing clutched her stomach and nodded earnestly and contentedly.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, wanting to burp.
"Heh."
Qian Renjue released Ling Yuan's jade hand.
He smiled, pinched Zhu Zhuqing's red lips, wiped away the few crumbs, and softly instructed:
"Now that you're full, let's start cultivating."
"Cultivating?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face showed difficulty.
She raised her head to look at the handsome face above, her light purple beautiful eyes containing shyness.
"But teacher, Zhuqing can't run right now."
Qian Renjue chuckled and poked Zhu Zhuqing's smooth forehead.
"Teacher knows that you little glutton can't run."
"So today, we don't need to do anything too strenuous, just practice those hidden weapon techniques."
"Mm~"
Zhu Zhuqing raised her flushed face, covered her forehead with her hand, and nodded lightly.
Qian Renjue concentrated and recalled for a moment.
He spoke slowly and methodically.
"You've practiced the basic techniques like Shaking Hand Arrow, Killing Two Birds with One Stone, and Scattering Flowers pretty well, so today, we'll practice those that are a bit more difficult."
"Like Phoenix Leading Nine Chicks, Batwing Reincarnation, and One Thousand and One Nights."
As soon as the words fell.
Qian Renjue casually flicked his sleeve.
Twenty or so willow leaf knives, flashing with cold light, flew out.
They drew various arcs in the air, with a dozen or so bypassing the trees beside them.
Bang—bang!
The twenty or so willow leaf knives stuck into the tree trunk, only making two sounds.
Nine stuck in front of the tree from different trajectories, forming a circle.
Sixteen bypassed the trees on both sides and stuck into the back of the tree in front of them.
"Teacher is so amazing!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Qian Renjue couldn't help but smile.
He gently rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful hair and instructed:
"Go ahead, use these twenty-five throwing knives."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask teacher at any time."
"Yes! Zhuqing will work hard."
Zhu Zhuqing rubbed against Qian Renjue's warm palm and nodded repeatedly.
She quickly stood up and ran towards the big tree in front of her.
A color of profound jade appeared in her hand.
She pulled out all the willow leaf knives arranged in a circle in front of her.
Zhu Zhuqing knew that this move was 'Phoenix Leading Nine Chicks', and the ones on the back of the tree were 'Batwing Reincarnation'.
"…"
Zhu Zhuqing went around to the back of the tree.
Looking at the sixteen willow leaf knives arranged in a four-by-four rectangle in front of her, she was a little lost.
When would she be able to do so well?
Pfft!
Zhu Zhuqing carefully pulled out those willow leaf knives.
She neatly returned to Qian Renjue and stood still, looking at the tree trunk in front of her.
She took a deep breath.
Purple energy surged in her eyes, she held her breath, and her small hands trembled, shaking out afterimages.
Nine cold lights flashed!
Qian Renjue looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his brows full of gentleness.
He lay down on the ground, and Ling Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately supported him with her beautiful legs.
Letting Qian Renjue rest on her lap, in her arms.
Ling Yuan's jade hand gently stroked, feeling the temperature of that face.
Listening to the sounds coming from the tree trunk and the grass.
Qian Renjue raised his hand and slightly parted the pair of soft mounds that were blocking the sky above.
He gently pointed out:
"Just keep your eyes on the target, once the knife flies out, no matter how much you look at it, it won't help."
"Yes, Zhuqing remembers."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily.
She immediately stepped forward to pick up those willow leaf knives.
Ling Yuan's face was slightly flushed, and the hand that had not yet been removed made her delicate body hot.
"A Yin, go help Zhu Zhuqing pick up the knives."
Before Qian Renjue finished speaking, he immediately received a response.
"Yes, Master!"
A Yin splashed out from Qian Renjue's arms.
She landed under the tree, and a few strands of golden-blue grass vines rolled up the willow leaf knives and handed them to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Thank you, Sister Yin'er."
Zhu Zhuqing had a smile on her face, holding her hands and catching the knives.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was practicing hidden weapon techniques.
Qian Renjue began to try his luck after a long absence, silently calling out the dog system in his heart.
[Host has points: 7980!]
[Do you want to spend 1500 points to exchange for three 'Mysterious Treasure Chests'?]
[Three 'Mysterious Treasure Chests' have been exchanged]
[Remaining points: 6480!]
[Do you want to open the treasure chest?]
[Ding! Mysterious Treasure Chest is opening]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the rewards: Night Erosion Nectar, Front Six Soul Ring Replacement Card (one of them), Tang Sect Elder's Token!]
[Night Erosion Nectar]: The ultimate treasure born at the junction of the light and dark sides of heaven and earth. It has the purest dark power and a strong corrosive ability. Any attribute of an item immersed in it will be eroded by darkness and embrace the night!
Note: Night Erosion Nectar is ineffective on living organisms!
[Front Six Soul Ring Replacement Card (one of them)]: Can help the host replace any one of the first six soul rings.
[Tang Sect Elder's Token]: Made of the finest Sichuan ore, it is the identity certificate of an elder of the Tang Sect from another world. Seeing this token is like the elder's personal presence!
After listening to the system's mechanical broadcast.
Qian Renjue's purple eyes brightened slightly, he pinched Ling Yuan's peak, and heard a few moans.
He put down his arm and placed it across his eyes.
Immersed in darkness
Frowning, silently thinking.
This time, the things given were still acceptable, not too useless.
The [Front Six Soul Ring Replacement Card] naturally goes without saying.
Qian Renjue had already used it once.
It was the other two items, [Night Erosion Nectar] and [Tang Sect Elder's Token].
He had to think carefully about how to use them.
Carefully sorting out his thoughts, the corners of Qian Renjue's mouth outlined a bit of a smile.
The smile was a bit cold.
The [Tang Sect Elder's Token] gave him a legitimate reason.
What should be the punishment for stealing the Tang Sect's inner sect techniques?
He had to think carefully.
So that Zhuqing's skills could be put to good use.
"Your Highness~"
Ling Yuan blushed, her beautiful eyes carrying a bit of incomprehension.
"I'm fine."
Qian Renjue responded softly.
His mind was immersed in the system space, looking at the [Night Erosion Nectar] in the wine jar.
Regarding what role it could play.
Qian Renjue had already thought of it, but the news from the Far North had not yet arrived.
There was no need to rush now.
————
The shade of the trees turned.
In the blink of an eye, the scorching sun was overhead, and it was noon.
The willow leaf knife in Zhu Zhuqing's hand was stained with sweat, flying out, and sweat dripped down.
Prolonged throwing of hidden weapons
Made her arms become a bit heavy, and the scorching sun made her sweat.
Tuk-tuk!
The willow leaf knife stuck into the tree trunk.
Phoenix Leading Nine Chicks had not yet been cultivated to perfection, possibly achieving every knife not missing.
It was already very good.
"Zhuqing, let's stop here for today."
Qian Renjue sat up, and the voice seemed to be not just for Zhu Zhuqing to hear.
Under his deliberate control.
It was transmitted to the lush bushes in the distance.
The short-haired, imposing girl was sitting cross-legged in it, cultivating.
Beside her was the complete turf that had been turned over.
Hearing Qian Renjue's voice.
Zhu Zhuyun slowly opened her cat eyes, stopped cultivating, and focused her eyes to look in Zhu Zhuqing's direction.
I wish you all a happy life!
