Jiang Sibai went to Jicheng alone with his sword and nothing else.
He should have had two guards, but he felt there was no need to waste that food and money on hiring people he didn't usually need.
He could also bring maids and servants to serve him, but he thought those people were submissive and boring, so it was better to be free and easy by himself.
Maybe he should take the big white fox with him on the road, but this fox would rather follow the kitchen aunt as a dog.
He couldn't go on the road alone like this, because the old housekeeper would never allow it, so he got up early in the morning and left a letter before leaving.
This kind of behavior is incompatible with the nobles of this era, but he is so willful that it is natural.
Jiang Sibai can walk very fast alone.
Baiyi is fifty miles away from Jicheng. It might take him a whole day to walk with his family, but now he only needs half a day to get there.
The place we pass through is a vast expanse of wilderness, which means that there are many places between Baiyi and Jicheng that are blank and uninhabited.
Countries in this era don't even have national borders.
Often there is only one city in a country, while the others are mostly fiefdoms granted to nobles, dotted here and there in the vast wilderness, becoming the footprints of mankind's struggle against nature and the expansion of living space in this era.
Ji City is the capital of Ji Kingdom. Ever since Ji King Jiang Mingwu ascended the throne as emperor twelve years ago, he has been the king that the people of Ji Kingdom expected.
Except for the fact that he worships immortals and seeks Taoism, which is more criticized, everything else is good.
After Jiang Sibai entered Jicheng, he did not return to the mansion assigned to him, but went directly to the blacksmith shop in the city.
There are three blacksmith shops in this city, two of which have royal backgrounds, and the one with the most transcendent status is the one where Jiang Sibai is going now.
"Old Han, I'm here."
He said hello as soon as he entered.
When Old Han saw Jiang Sibai, he quickly dropped the half-forged iron ingot in his hand and welcomed him in.
He said: "Master Xiaobai, why are you here?"
"Yes, it's the 'Welcome to Immortals' meeting that happens every three years. You must come, sir."
He was a famous swordsmith in Jicheng. Even Jiang Mingwu was polite in front of him, but in front of Jiang Sibai, he looked very useless.
Because he is an honest man.
When Jiang Sibai was learning casting, he took him to study and discuss with him.
He knew very well how talented and intelligent this young master was, but his own son was not even as stupid as Jiang Sibai.
But back then, the immortal master just recruited his son Han Qianjin into the immortal sect and left Jiang Sibai behind. This made this honest man feel very guilty.
Jiang Sibai's attitude toward him remained the same as before. He said, "Yes, I will definitely be able to join the Xianmen this time. Then I will be my senior brother with Qianjin!"
he said with a gentle smile.
Just like when he first met Lao Han.
They chatted for a while and reminisced about old times, and then Jiang Sibai took out a piece of animal skin and said, "This time I come to see you, Old Han, mainly to ask you to build these things for me."
The drawings above show the appearance of farm tools such as hoes, sledges, and sickles.
He was too lazy to take it out before, but now that he has promised to cultivate an acre of corn for his master, he naturally needs all the tools in place.
Old Han accepted the parchment and said, "Okay, sir, just give me a day!"
This was indeed no difficulty for him.
Jiang Sibai nodded and then walked to his mansion in Jicheng.
Naturally, there are butlers and servants to greet and serve you when you enter, but these people are all raised by the Jiang family, and they all belong to this mansion and not to him.
So for him, this mansion in Jicheng is just a place to stay, far less cordial than the one in Baiyi.
"Just prepare some food and bring it to me. I'll stay here tonight."
He left without saying a word.
Tomorrow is the day of the 'Welcome to Immortals' meeting, which will be held in the Jicheng Palace in the morning. Not only will there be a banquet for guests, but it will also be the day when King Ji Jiang Mingwu takes the exams for his children.
At the same time, this can be regarded as showing the talent and learning of the young masters to the immortal masters of Luo Yun Fairyland, hoping that they will be favored by chance.
Jiang Sibai didn't have much communication with the servants in this mansion. He just finished his meal in a dignified manner and then told the servants not to come to the backyard to disturb him.
Then he drew the square sword alone in the backyard and danced the sword leisurely.
This is the basic sword technique of Luo Yun Fairyland Divine Sword Valley, it is called ‘Luo Yun Sword Technique’.
This sword is very ethereal and changeable. Even the basic swordsmanship seems to have a vast pattern and can evolve many times.
In fact, for Fairy Zhu Ling, Jiang Sibai was grateful in his heart, because this 'Luo Yun Sword Technique' really brought him a lot of fun.
Even with such a slow sword dance, he could gain a lot of insights, and it even became Jiang Sibai's only relief from the boring life in this era.
Because he has a deep understanding of swordsmanship and is very good at strength and control, his sword dance looks both strong and soft, full of the beauty of strength and skill.
What is even more rare is that there is no trace of fireworks in it, it is really like a sword fairy emerging from the dust, ethereal and uncertain.
The servants naturally did not dare to pry, but if such a sword dance could fall in the eyes of the fairy from the Divine Sword Valley, how could he continue to linger in the mortal world?
Just as he danced the sword without any distractions, the energy in Jiang Sibai's body slowly became active and boiling.
This manifested itself as his body steaming with heat and sweat, and then a scorching flame seemed to emerge from the earthen cauldron in his Dantian, burning blazingly in the shape of a ball.
The heat emanating from his feet shot up to the sky, allowing Jiang Sibai to just wear a single coat to keep out the cold in this cold early winter.
Originally, he only thought that this was the effect of the 'health-preserving technique', but now that his master clarified his doubts, he realized that this was a manifestation of his whole body's energy nourishing his whole body.
Think again of what Taoist Mo Shang said about refining and transforming qi.
Jiang Sibai couldn't help but want to try something.
But then I remembered that Taoist Mo Shang said that refining Qi is best at sunrise, so I didn’t think too much about it.
Just when he subconsciously thought about his chest, the Qi Sea in Tanzhong absorbed many essences in an extremely smooth manner, and then he felt like something was suddenly opening deep in his chest.
Jiang Sibai felt a ball of heat lingering in his chest at that time.
This is different from the faint burning feeling in the pubic area, this is a masculine and fulfilling heat feeling.
This was a big surprise for Jiang Sibai.
Then his originally good sword dance lost momentum and had to stop.
"Is this refining energy?"
Jiang Sibai quietly thought about the changes just now.
That masculine and full feeling still lingered in his chest, making him feel as if something had changed, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Wait a minute, I agreed to sit in front of the rising sun and breathe out and refine the Qi. Could it be that I did it wrong?"
So Jiang Sibai felt a little panicked all of a sudden, and he was very anxious. He just wished that the meeting to welcome the immortals could start and end early so that he could ask his master about it privately.
He had 'seen' too many things like going crazy due to wrong practices in his previous life, and he was a little scared.
To celebrate the birthdays of those who were born in January, an additional chapter will be added
