On a cool morning, in the western suburbs of Longtan Town, Jingwei and Xueying stood by the stream west of the town. They sat by the stream, rushing to their feet, each holding a green grass in their mouths, and were slowly chatting.

Jingwei showed Xueying the empty purse, and Xueying turned her head embarrassedly. In the past two days, their money had been completely spent. After leaving Jiuyuan Village, they walked all the way to Longtan Town. Xueying said that she would rush back as soon as possible because she was still young and her body could not store magic power. The magic power would slowly dissipate after leaving Qingqiu Realm. Now that her magic power has dissipated most of her magic power, she would be in danger if she didn't go back. Jingwei thought about it and had to follow her all the way, which could be regarded as escorting her home.

But now the two are penniless, and if they want to go back smoothly, they have to think of some ways to make money.

Making money is easy to say but harder to do.

This town is not very prosperous, there are only a few better shops and there are no shortage of people doing odd jobs. What should I do?

Just when they were worried, Jingwei suddenly found a document posted on the roadside. He thought it was a notice to recruit people, so he went to look at it. When he got closer, he found that it was a document that the official family recruited people to go to the mountain to eliminate the harm. It probably meant that a ferocious red-clawed tiger appeared in the mountains and forests west of Longtan Town recently, occupying the important road west of Longtan and endangering the passing pedestrians and transport vehicles. No one dared to pass here now, which seriously affected the trade dealings in Longtan Town. He is now recruiting warriors to form a team to the west mountain forest, intending to remove the tiger's problems and restore traffic.

However, this list has been closed for more than three days, and no one has ever signed up. No one in Longtan Town dared to take this risk. Some old people gave some advice to the officials stationed in Longtan Town, asking them to post reward notices in the county town to find higher-level experts, and even invite practitioners.

But this suggestion was rejected by the official. Their reason was that there are few practitioners nowadays and it is hard to find them everywhere. If you really invite them, the price will definitely be quite high. After all, the county has not given much funds this time, and a large part of them are used for food and drink. Therefore, if it really doesn't work, you will report to the county town and report it one by one. If you don't believe it, you can't hire a master.

Jingwei gave up when he saw this notice. This is not a casual business, but a fight for his life. His small body is not good, probably not enough for the tiger to get stuck in the teeth.

However, Xueying was very interested. Although her magic power had dissipated most of her, she should be able to bear to the point of defeating the tiger. She was full of confidence now, so she quickly got up, crossed the small bamboo bridge, and came to the hotel door. She shouted a few times to the official who was staying in the small hotel, saying that she wanted to kill the tiger.

The officials looked at the little girl and couldn't help laughing. They walked over and touched Xueying's head, and told her to go home quickly and not run around.

Xueying raised her fists to protest. She didn't want people to feel that she was just a child. Although she was old enough, in the face of her long life, the shape of a little girl was still manifested. She pointed to the fatier Guanmao and picked it up. The Guanmao was frightened to find that she was actually picked up and hung in the air.

It turns out that this little girl is actually a rare practitioner in the world.

When the officials saw this, they hurriedly bowed and begged Xueying to collect his magical powers, and presented a cup of tea, and asked for specific matters with a smile. Xueying waved her hand, then gave the order with her waist. "Miss, I want a basket of chicken legs, you can buy it quickly. If you have enough, I can go and fight the tiger."

The fat official in charge who was leading the company hurriedly said, "Okay, this is easy to deal with, I'll let the purchase buy it."

After a while, a large cage of chicken legs was brought back. The official said, "This... this... sir, the chicken legs you want are here. I bought all the chicken legs that are most famous in the town. You can enjoy them slowly. We will eat our fill and take advantage of the weather to get rid of the damage."

Xueying swept the basket with her little hand, and the chicken legs in the basket disappeared. She took it away, and the remaining one was left in her hand. She wanted to get drunk when she smelled it. "Don't worry, I'll keep it first, and I'll go later. You eat yours first, and we'll sit for a while and then go."

Jingwei and Xueying looked for a table next to her and sat down. Jingwei stared into her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Are you really sure?"

"Of course there is." Xueying said.

"But don't show off. We can't risk our lives for the sake of chicken legs. After all, we don't know what kind of tiger there is, but it seems that it must be very powerful. The red clawed one must be a monster."

Xueying gave him a blank look and said, "You don't take me seriously. Who is this girl? This girl is the best genius in the clan. How can you, an eight-year-old child, see through it."

"Okay, we'll go in a while, so that you won't become weaker in a while." Jingwei said.

"Hmph, that's it. In a while, except for that big cat, we will go back to Qingqiu. Hehe, we will eat these chicken legs on the way." Xueying said happily.

…………

Half an hour later, they quickly arrived at the forest in the west, which was the small fenridge leading to the Lingyue Mountain. The valley was covered with dense trees, and there was a spacious road leading directly to the mountains. The merchants who came and went all walks on this road, but now there is no one left. The entire road was only the birds singing on the trees and the worms crying in the grass, which seemed very quiet.

The officials took the courage to walk in a few steps and no longer dared to go deeper. They retreated and asked Xueying to be careful. Jingwei wanted to stay here, but he was also pulled away by the officials.

Only the snow shadow is left alone, lonely.

Jingwei suddenly worried about her safety.

At this moment, the sun had not set yet, and the woods were not so dim. But suddenly the temperature around it began to drop, and it was so cloudy that the wind began to rise in the woods, and small animals in the jungle fled in a hurry.

"Ao..." A huge whistle came, vibrating the eardrums.

Suddenly, a dark red tiger jumped out of the jungle, three feet tall, very terrifying. The snow shadow was so small in front of it, only as tall as a tiger's claw.

The tiger seemed to care about snow shadow at all. Its interest was more on the official in front of him. The tiger's eyes shone and wanted to keep several people behind.

Those officials were already scared. The tiger was as tall as three or four floors, and the entire town was not as tall as it was. This was not an ordinary tiger. It was obviously a thousand-year-old tiger spirit, and the little girl was in danger now.

While running, they shouted at Xueying: "Little Fairy, run away quickly. We won't fight this tiger anymore, run away!"

The tiger jumped suddenly and ran amazingly fast. In a few moments, it ran to the front and blew a gust of wind out of its mouth to blow Jingwei and the others down.

The next moment, Xueying arrived and immediately supported a barrier. With a small hand, a crystal-like kitchen knife appeared. She waved the kitchen knife and started fighting with the tiger.

It's strange that Xueying's small body is not enough to see in front of the tiger's huge body, but Xueying exerted her own momentum. Every knife she felt as if she could cut the air, and with the pink light, she repelled the power of the dark red tiger. After a while, scars appeared on the tiger's body, dyed with pink energy. The tiger was defeated, and she growled, chose to give up, and began to escape.

Xueying was not willing to give up. The kitchen knife galloped away and slashed the tiger. It was very violent. After a while, the tiger was already lying on the ground, dying and unable to move.

Xueying walked back happily, clapped her hands, and asked, "How is it, stupid apprentice, I'm so awesome, Master."

Jingwei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Awesome, so you are so powerful." He pointed to the giant tiger that was still lying on his slump and said, "What are you going to do with it now?"

"Oh, I'm so big, I'm not a big deal. I can't let it die slowly. I've put the soul-locking curse, and it will die in a while."

"Okay, we should have money now, haha."

Seeing Xueying's cruel appearance just now, these officials did not dare to underestimate the practitioners. They once again had a new understanding of these practitioners who practiced against the will of heaven.

However, this time, the magic power in Xueying's body was squandered by her. Now she is no different from an ordinary little girl. Her final magic power was put on the soul-locking spell. Now, even if the tiger is not cut to death, it will be destroyed by the spell.

This tiger is extremely cruel and is a disaster. It is extremely aggressive, but why can't it run out of the mountains and forests?

Jingwei and Xueying were both confused, but in the end, the fat official gave the answer. It is said that a long time ago, when the ancestors first came here and saw ferocious beasts everywhere, which was afraid of endangering the safety of future generations, they posted a talisman in Longtan Town at the foot of the mountain. The talisman absorbed the earth energy of Longtan Town, communicated with the surrounding mountains, and formed an attack array map similar to a beast trap. Whenever there was an enjoyment that endangered the crowd, this array map could be actively attacked and hunted. However, the ancestors were old and no one knew about this array map at present, but it really existed, because there were several records in history that some ferocious beasts walked out of the mountains and forests and were killed by the array map before they even got close to the town, and blood was splattered on the spot.

Xueying sticks out her tongue, glad that she has not manifested her body, otherwise wouldn't her life be in danger?

Humans, it’s really dangerous. There are really crises at the foot of the mountain. Grandma doesn’t let me go down the mountain. It’s probably my good for me. Although Xueying now knows that mortals account for the majority of human beings, the occasional formation diagram of a cultivator almost caused her to suffer a loss. There is also the stone formation of Jiuyuan Village and the Mu Lei Fruit Tree...

Thinking of this, Xueying still felt that it would be better to return to Qingqiu as soon as possible. After all, she is still an ordinary person now and has no magic power. I don’t know what the situation will be if I stay there.

They declined the warm invitations of several officials, and hurriedly set off with the rewards, heading towards Qingqiu overnight.

It was late at night and the road was pitch black and there was no one else. The two had to find a dry place to sit down. Jingwei put down the things in the bag, carefully picked up a small bag inside, shook it twice, and a simple little quilt appeared in front of him. Jingwei took out a luminous bead of seaside specialty from his pocket, and spread the quilt with the faint light. Xueying watched Jingwei do these things, his eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

After Jingwei packed up, he signaled Xueying to lie down and rest. He carried some hay and lay down. The two of them rested in the wilderness. However, Jingwei did not sleep. He knew that Xueying had no magic power anymore. Now she had no ability to protect herself, so he had to act as a protector. After all, his body had also been strengthened to a certain extent, and he also practiced the Hanging Technique and Thousand Miles. With the blessing of the vast heart, I believe that if I meet an ordinary beast, I can still escape with Xueying in a short time.

The night was even darker, and there was no moon this night. Xueying opened her eyes wide and looked at the sky. She felt that she was the most real person now, free, honest, brave, responsible, and friends who care about her. This kind of life seemed good, and she suddenly didn't want to go back.

Late at night, Xueying's eyes flashed. She knew that Jingwei was not asleep either. Although this guy was worried on weekdays, he was indeed very responsible and knew how to protect himself. When he encountered danger, he took care of each other and did not escape.

"Hey, Jingwei, how will you live in the future?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Jingwei did not sleep. He continued, "Maybe we should look for a place to take me in, or go to a disciple."

Xueying pouted her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Jingwei, you can't become a disciple anymore. Your master is me."

Jingwei smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't become a disciple. Anyway, you have taught me a lot of skills. When I am strong enough in the future, I will slowly unseal the seal, build a small thatched hut in the wilderness, and go into seclusion and practice in self-cultivation."

Xueying thought of the situation where she instilled information in him before, "Hmph, you should be content. My clan treasures all the world's first-class practice scriptures. I have learned them for a long time before I learned them. You should laugh when you sleep. How many people don't have the chance to learn them." She immediately thought of something and felt it was particularly difficult and said, "You must remember that some scriptures involve other ethnic groups, and some are not even secrets that are not passed on, so don't show what you have learned in front of others in the future, so don't easily bring unnecessary dangers."

Jingwei nodded. Although he was young, he knew the truth. Grandpa He once said these words. "Don't worry, I won't show it to others."

He carefully counted the classics and techniques passed down to him by Xueying, and he was shocked. The number was really amazing. There were all kinds of classics, all-encompassing. Some of the names of the classics sounded very loud and seemed to have great origins. However, his mind still cannot control these techniques. As the saying goes, too much is not bad, and too much involves it is easy to be distracted. He just knows some of the left-handed skills of the people, and does not have to be immersed in it and waste time. After all, he is not like Xueying, and he learns it for a thousand years.

Although there are many martial arts coming from Xueying, there are very few core mental methods. After all, mental methods are the most core secret of each clan and sect. The Tianhu clan cannot collect so many mental methods, because these mental methods were all learned by the Tianhu clan when they were transformed into humans and secretly learned by the world. Few people in the fox clan can ultimately control a sect or become a direct disciple. Therefore, the most core and most precious sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-sect-something-some-famous mind methods are not.

If Jingwei wants to officially start the path of cultivation, he must find the right direction, determine the practice system, choose one to practice, and other mental methods, classics, etc., to increase his knowledge and assist in his practice.

He didn't know if someone had practiced multiple mental methods at the same time, nor did he know the relationship between mental methods and other forms of cultivation. Therefore, Jingwei's top priority is to find the mental methods that suit him, find the right direction, and then study various classics, or study various magic techniques in the practice system.

He was very clear about his situation. Grandpa He passed on his mental methods, but did not pass on specific cultivation methods. As for classics, refining medicines, secret techniques, etc., there was nothing. Xueying, a cheap master, was also in the process of learning. Her mental methods were obviously not suitable for human race, and other mental methods were not profound enough, which may be limited in future development and could not play a decisive role in major revenge.

What he wants now is the strongest path to practice, and he wants to become the strongest person.
