Chapter 8: Meet Big Bird Again

Fortunately, it was in his own small yard and no one came over, otherwise he would have seen a bloody human-shaped object.

After three days of practice, his Dantian finally stabilized. Although his cultivation had not reached a breakthrough and his body looked tattered, he no longer felt the intense pain he had felt during practice, and there even seemed to be a warm current flowing through his body. He faintly touched the second-layer screen neck.
She simply tried a few spells and didn’t feel any discomfort, as if this broken Dantian didn’t exist.

Just as she was about to go back to the library to sell pirated books, a sound of “Ga-Ga” came from the yard.

Ga~ga~
You little liar, you said you would look at the stars and the moon, and go out for fun.
The Iron-toothed Bird yelled at Mo Anyi in her yard.

“Big Bird brother?”

Mo Anyi almost forgot about the iron-toothed sparrow that had fooled him in the sect exam. Was he being chased for debt?

The iron-toothed bird poked Mo Anyi’s little ball with its long and thin beak.

Mo Anyi reached out and hugged its huge beak. My goodness, if your beak is that big, my head will be bald if it pokes me down.

“Are you here to find me?”

The iron-toothed bird nodded and flapped its heavy wings.

“I see. Do you want to go out and explore the world? Do you want to go to the immortal world and let everyone worship your mighty and heroic figure? Do you want to be fascinated by the spirit beasts from all walks of life?”

Ga~ Ga~ The Iron-toothed Sparrow really understood what Mo Anyi said. It wished it could spread its wings and go out to wander around.

He stamped his feet impatiently, urging her on.

Unexpectedly, Mo Anyi squatted on the steps at the gate of the courtyard, holding his chin with one hand and patting the open space next to him with the other hand.

“Huh?” The iron-toothed bird was confused by her behavior. What did she mean? She wasn’t going to leave? Why did she sit down?

“Come, I will think with you. I know dreams need to be shared. I will dream with you if you have a beautiful dream.”

Mo Anyi looked at the big bird with a smile and invited it to sit down.

The iron-toothed bird was so angry that it was tilted backwards. You are a cucumber, right? Why do you want to be beaten so badly? Although this little girl is quite interesting, she is too nagging for a beating. Do you want to eat her now? It narrowed its long and narrow animal eyes.

Feeling the wrath of the Iron-toothed Sparrow, Mo Anyi did not dare to be too presumptuous. He immediately stretched out his hands and carefully calmed the huge wings that wanted to flap over him. With tears in his eyes and an extremely sad expression, he said, “Brother Big Bird, I was careless. I thought I could take you to wander the world of cultivation, but how could I forget that I am a useless person with five spiritual roots? Forget me, you will meet someone better. I am not worthy of you who are handsome, dashing and majestic.”

Iron-toothed Owl squinted his eyes, watching Mo Anyi, who was eager to act, with great interest, “Ga~Ga~”: “Act, keep acting for me.”

Perhaps because he saw that Big Bird’s face was already quite ugly, so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out, Mo An also restrained his exaggerated expression, straightened his face, and said seriously:

“Brother Big Bird, I’m not trying to fool you. Everything should be based on reality. With my weak spiritual roots, I have the will but not the strength. It’s not that I don’t want to, but my strength doesn’t allow it.”

“I promise that I will take you out to play after I build my foundation. I swear.” She looked at the Iron-toothed Owl seriously.
Brother Big Bird was the first friend she made in the sect. Although the encounter was not so pleasant, she still remembered the pieces of meat at the corners of his mouth vividly.

After hearing this, the Iron-toothed Sparrow seemed to have calmed down a bit. It scratched the cowardly little girl, then grabbed her clothes with its hard beak, flapped its wings violently, and spun around, throwing her onto its broad back. This sudden movement frightened Mo Anyi so much that she quickly hugged the big bird’s neck, fearing that she would fall off. As soon as she sat firmly, the Iron-toothed Sparrow flapped its wings and rushed into the clouds like an arrow from a string. Mo Anyi sat on the Iron-toothed Sparrow and stuck his head out a little. For the first time, he looked at his sect from this perspective. He saw the mountains below undulating, the pavilions and towers were scattered in an orderly manner, and the clouds and mist were lingering, like a fairyland. In the martial arts field in the distance, the disciples were practicing, with swords flashing and spells flying. Further away, there was a lush medicinal field, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance. And the small courtyard where he usually lived seemed so small at this moment.

The Iron-toothed Sparrow took Mo Anyi to an uninhabited place in the sect. It was unknown where this place was in the sect, and as he was still a novice, Mo Anyi didn’t know much about it. There was only a thin layer of mist all around, like smoke, which cast a mysterious veil over this world. The towering stone wall stood in front of him, like a giant standing upright, with sharp sword marks engraved on it, which was shocking. The sword marks were crisscrossed, some deep, some shallow, some long, some short. They should be the sword marks left by the top master in the sect. Each sword mark seemed to exude a powerful sword energy, cold and sharp, intertwined with each other, forming an invisible barrier!
Mo Anyi stood in front of the stone wall, her eyes attracted by the dense sword marks. In her eyes, the countless sword marks gradually merged and evolved, as if forming a complete set of sword techniques, playing slowly in her consciousness, and each sword mark was engraved into the depths of her soul.

She picked up a branch from the ground, as if it was a peerless sword in her hand, and began to perform the moves according to the moves in her mind.

[Relax your wrist.] The system’s voice sounded in her mind.

[The stab direction should be shifted ten degrees, and the step should be forward.] Mo An also heard this and immediately adjusted his posture

The system’s guidance voice continued to come, meticulous and not missing any detail.

[The transition between sword styles should be smoother, without any hesitation.]

【Pay attention to the rhythm of your breathing and coordinate it with your sword moves. 】

During the practice of the moves, the system continuously corrected the wrong movements. This was the efficiency of one-on-one teaching. After practicing several sets of moves, Mo Anyi’s movements became more and more smooth and fluent, and there was a trace of morality in each move. The originally slightly stiff branch seemed to have life in her hands, agile and powerful. As the moves continued to flow into her mind, Mo Anyi gradually forgot about the sky and the earth, and everything around her. In her world, there was only the exquisite sword moves and her own figure waving constantly.

Her breathing was integrated with her sword moves. Every breath was accompanied by the swing of the sword. Every time she swung the sword, the surrounding mist seemed to be stirred by her momentum and flowed slowly.

During the process of swinging the sword, the five originally independent spiritual roots in Mo Anyi’s body began to merge with each other. The fusion of the spiritual roots brought about a powerful fluctuation of power, and the damaged Dantian, under the nourishment of this power, also showed a tendency to repair.

In the Dantian, the spiritual energy gathered like a whirlpool, constantly washing the damaged area. The originally dim Dantian gradually emitted a faint light.

Mo An was also immersed in this wonderful feeling. She could feel her strength growing stronger and stronger, and every swing of the sword could bring a new breakthrough.

Qi training level 2, Qi training level 2 peak, Qi training level 3… The level of cultivation is constantly rising.

Mo Anyi didn’t notice anything at all. She was still immersed in the world of sword moves, constantly repeating every movement, striving to achieve perfection.

Finally, the powerful spiritual energy poured into Dantian, instantly filling the entire space. It was not until the fifth level of Qi training that Dantian stopped absorbing the spiritual energy.

Mo Anyi suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. No one would have thought that a person with five spiritual roots who was regarded as a waste material could actually break through to the fifth level of Qi training in just one month after joining the sect. Even if he had the qualifications of a single spiritual root, he would probably be no more than this.

“Quack.” The iron-toothed gill called happily beside him, his face full of pride. Its bright eyes were full of admiration for Mo Anyi. The teammate was good, and they were one step closer to the goal of going out to surf.

“Thank you, Big Bird.” Mo An was so surprised by this sudden breakthrough that she hugged the bird’s neck happily. Her face was filled with a bright smile, which was the joy from the heart.

“I will be able to take you out to have fun soon. Come on, let’s go find our fourth senior brother now. Roll up!” Mo Anyi said excitedly.

The iron-toothed bird spread its wings, waved them gently, and flew towards Qingyun Peak with Mo Anyi.
