Chapter 22: Pest Removal (Part 2)
After covering her head with Tao Fengnian's hat and taking a warm fire talisman from him, Jiang Yuebai stood up and went to work in the distant medicinal fields.
Using the Edge Sharpness Formula, she delved into the seedlings, vanquishing the Ice Armored Beetles one after another. With each strike, she became more skilled in controlling the Edge Sharpness Formula and gradually found the feeling of the Ten Li Slope Knife God.
The Ice Armored Beetles, believing in their tough carapaces, stayed in place without moving, allowing Jiang Yuebai to slash at will.
As long as she found the weak spots, killing them was more efficient than dealing with the rampant Lantern Monsters all over the mountain.
After each kill, the proficiency of the Edge Sharpness Formula and the Chopping Firewood Knife Technique improved, and she felt a sense of swelling in her mind, as if something was about to break through the shell, making Jiang Yuebai feel extremely invigorated.
When her spiritual energy was depleted, Jiang Yuebai took out spiritual stones and absorbed their spiritual energy to replenish the consumption, without delaying the pest control progress.
To reach the peak of the second level of the Edge Sharpness Formula, one needs one thousand proficiency points. Earlier, due to the lack of spiritual energy, Jiang Yuebai's practice sessions were limited. However, with the supply of spiritual stones now, she no longer had any worries.
Although she only gained a bit of proficiency after using the Edge Sharpness Formula several times, the disaster that struck several hundred mu of spiritual fields in Huaxi Valley provided her with an excellent opportunity to practice the technique.
Jiang Yuebai immediately decided that as long as she could endure it, she would persevere to the end!
In the neighboring spiritual field, Liu Dashan had to stop every twenty uses of the Edge Sharpness Formula to replenish his spiritual energy with spiritual stones.
The first time he stopped, Jiang Yuebai was using the Edge Sharpness Formula.
The second time he stopped, Jiang Yuebai was using the Edge Sharpness Formula.
The third time he stopped, Jiang Yuebai was using the Edge Sharpness Formula.
Liu Dashan was dumbfounded. Fortunately, the fourth time he stopped, Jiang Yuebai finally stopped to recover using spiritual stones.
Liu Dashan felt completely defeated. He was at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, while Jiang Yuebai was only at the third level. He had to rest three times for every one time she rested.
Both of them had five spiritual roots, but the gap between them was too significant. Was her Metal Spiritual Root thicker than a radish?
Seeing Jiang Yuebai starting to work on the third spiritual field while he had not finished one, Liu Dashan felt like crying.
He gritted his teeth and pushed himself to continue!
As the sun set in the west, the snow continued to fall without any signs of stopping, and the cold wind became more biting.
After using the Wind Whirlwind Technique to sweep away the falling snow, the snow would accumulate again, making the cold penetrate their bodies, even penetrating through the insulating robes.
Jiang Yuebai's hands trembled, and her whole body felt cold. She failed to complete several hand seals and had to stand up and stretch her muscles.
The fire talisman inside her clothes emitted waves of heat, dispelling the cold.
Looking back at the valley entrance, the village was already buried under heavy snow, with only the outlines of the roofs visible.
The snow piled up like mountains around the spiritual fields. Being in the middle of the fields felt like being in a deep pit. If the snow collapsed, they would be buried alive, and the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.
Nevertheless, no one dared to stop their work.
If they didn't fight against the sky, the spiritual wheat would die, and they would also die.
"Master, Tang Yun has fainted from the cold, Master!"
In the distance, chaos ensued as yet another young disciple was frozen unconscious.
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath, rubbed her hands, and continued to work.
As the moon rose to the middle of the sky, a red sword light rushed into Huaxi Valley, and a storage bag was thrown to Tao Fengnian.
After checking its contents, Tao Fengnian took out a small bottle and revealed a delighted expression.
"Finally, this is the Urgent Sun Water urgently refined by the Alchemy Hall. It can be used with the Cloud and Rain Technique to kill the Ice Armored Beetles, melt the ice and snow, and dispel the cold in the spiritual fields."
"However, the Urgent Sun Water causes significant damage to the young spiritual wheat, so the Grass and Wood Technique will be needed for restoration afterward. Those willing to use the Urgent Sun Water can come to me to collect it."
Everyone felt relieved and tearful.
Almost everyone knew the Cloud and Rain Technique, and they quickly came forward to collect the Urgent Sun Water and use the Cloud and Rain Technique.
The clouds rose, and the rain sounded melodious. The heavy snow and gloom gradually dissipated.
After a busy period, the ice on the young wheat had melted away, leaving the withered seedlings struggling on the verge of death.
Those who knew the Grass and Wood Technique began gathering the vitality of grass and trees to nourish the young wheat in their fields.
Guo Zhen stood in his own field, staring at his young disciple, Shi Xiaowu, dumbfounded. He didn't know the Grass and Wood Technique either.
When he turned his head, he saw Jiang Yuebai standing in Tao Fengnian's field, skillfully using the Cloud and Rain Technique to extract the Urgent Sun Water and using the Grass and Wood Technique.
With seamless transitions between hand seals, green light circled from Jiang Yuebai's fingertips, a sight so beautiful that it caused Guo Zhen's eye to twitch.
"Wow! Junior Sister Jiang can even use the Cloud and Rain Technique and the Grass and Wood Technique; she's so amazing!"
Smack!
Guo Zhen slapped Shi Xiaowu on the back of his head.
"Why don't you learn from Junior Sister Jiang too? If you can't learn the five elemental techniques within half a year, don't call me Master!"
"But you only know two elemental techniques too."
"What did you say? Stay right there; where are you running off to?"
Guo Zhen chased Shi Xiaowu around the field, and Jiang Yuebai, standing amidst the fields, stared at her hands, which were covered with ice, feeling bewildered.
She had just performed the technique so smoothly. How did she unintentionally use the water spiritual energy to activate the Grass and Wood Technique, which resulted in her hands freezing?
What was going on?
