My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

The wait lasted until the early morning. Jiang Li, who was squatting in the haystack in the yard, saw the red rope suddenly stretched straight.

Seeing this scene, he immediately pointed his hand like a sword and used his magic power to flash in front of his eyes. Then he saw a soul in red clothes floating towards the house along the red rope.

Jiang Li immediately nudged the person next to him when he saw this. After they entered the room, he immediately gathered everyone and pasted the soul-calming talismans that had been prepared long ago all over the walls of the room. Some people even climbed up to the roof to paste talismans.

At this time, a terrified scream was heard from inside the house, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the wooden wall. Seeing this, Jiang Li immediately left Xiaohong to guard the door, opened the door, and walked in with the weapon.

At this time, the banana spirit had already stood up and was covering his face with horror. He was obviously frightened by his true form reflected in the blessed mirror in the hands of Asan, who was lying in ambush under the bed.

When she saw Xiaohong outside the door, she was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly. At this moment, she knew very well that she was ambushed by someone. She immediately resorted to a self-torture trick and told Jiang Li about her "tragic" experience.

But Jiang Li would never listen to her nonsense. He took out the peach wood sword and the soul-fixing talisman, chanted the golden light spell and attacked her.

She saw that the peach wood sword in Jiang Li's hand was very extraordinary, obviously an authentic Taoist magic weapon, so she could only keep dodging and did not dare to touch it at all.

But the room was narrow, and there were talismans on the wall that she couldn't break. In the end, she was forced into a corner under Jiang Li's constant attacks.

Seeing that she had no room to dodge, Jiang Li decisively took out the soul-fixing talisman in his hand and imprinted it directly on her chest to fix her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the banana spirit immediately used the self-torture tactic again to gain sympathy, but Jiang Li still ignored her nonsense and directly took out a yellow paper umbrella, put it away, and then pasted a talisman on it to finish.

Seeing that he had her under control, Jiang Li began to ask questions. He was fed up with this guy's nonsense and asked directly about what happened after he awakened his spiritual intelligence.

He felt that this fellow could awaken his spiritual intelligence only because of some special opportunity, because strictly speaking, banana is a grass, not a tree, and its lifespan is only twenty to thirty years, which is too short and does not meet the conditions for it to become a spirit.

But after questioning for a long time, he got nothing out of her because she kept asking questions that changed the subject. Jiang Li was so angry that he wanted to kill her directly. However, since this girl didn't seem to have killed anyone, he didn't dare to do anything too extreme to avoid damaging Fu Yuan.

After asking for a long time without any result, he simply stopped asking and wrapped it in his robe and handed it to Asan.

"It seems that I have to ask the master about her specific situation!"

Then he looked at the sky outside. It was not realistic to look for the banana spirit's true form so late at night. He could only wait until daybreak.

After tidying up the room casually, Jiang Li and Daobing went to sleep in the room.

The next day, they asked people to go to the town to buy some food. After eating, they began to look for the banana spirit's body. More than a dozen people searched for a long time and finally found a strange banana tree.

It was obviously bigger than other banana trees, and its leaves were greener, and its fruits were much bigger than other banana trees. Jiang Li used his magic power and could even feel a spiritual energy flowing through the tree.

Looking at the banana tree, Jiang Li took out the oil-paper umbrella and said, "Can you tell the truth now? If you keep talking nonsense, I will dig up your true form!"

After a lot of hesitation, the banana spirit reluctantly told his life story.

"My real name is An Hong. I am an elder of the Hehuan Sect. I practice the Hehuan dual cultivation technique. At the age of sixty, I reached the level of Heavenly Master. I am only one step away from going one step further and reaching the legendary extraordinary realm."

"But when I was about to break through, I was ambushed by my enemies. Although I managed to escape here, I was still seriously injured and died."

Jiang Li had heard of the Hehuan Sect. Although it was not a decent sect, it was not a cult either. He then asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the enemy who attacked you is a transcendent cultivator?"

"That's not the case. That person is only at the Heavenly Master level. However, the technique I'm practicing not only allows for rapid progress, but can also prolong life and slow down aging."

"But the dozens of disciples who practiced dual cultivation with me were not upright disciples, and the techniques they practiced were also mediocre. As a result, my magic power was too feminine, and my combat power was much weaker than that of the cultivators of the same level."

Hearing this, Jiang Li exclaimed in his heart, "Wow, this is really a slapstick game. The love-hate relationship between a sixty-year-old old woman and dozens of disciples is chilling to think about."

An Hong sensed Jiang Li's silence and immediately knew what he was thinking. She immediately stopped trying to hide her feelings and said, "Laugh if you want to. We cultivators are always looking for a glimmer of hope."

"No matter what the process is, as long as the result is favorable, I will fight for it. Now that I am controlled by you today, I will no longer struggle."

Then he asked in confusion, "Then how did you become a banana spirit?"

"My Hehuan Sect has a secret technique that allows the soul to leave the body and temporarily reside on plants and trees, but the situation was urgent at the time and I couldn't find any suitable trees."

"This forest is full of banana trees. I had no choice but to pick one with stronger vitality and perform this secret technique. After twenty years of practice, I was finally able to leave my body."

"So whenever I had the chance, I would find those solitary farmers and absorb their energy to aid my cultivation. Unfortunately, this place is sparsely populated. Only when the bananas are ripe will a few thieves come here at night to steal the bananas."

Jiang Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where is your body? You are a heavenly master after all, there must be something valuable on your body, right?"

After hesitating for a while, the banana spirit said, "It was under that banana tree. It was with the help of the spiritual power in that body that I was able to barely evolve this ordinary tree into a spiritual plant."

"As for the corpse, there are some things on it, but unfortunately, more than 20 years have passed and most of the things have almost rotted away. Only a few jade slips are still intact."

Having said that, Jiang Li led his men under the guidance of An Hong and found the jade slips from under the roots of the banana tree, but he did not investigate immediately.

Instead, he started thinking about how to deal with the banana spirit. After thinking for a while, he made a decision.

He immediately said to An Hong, "The situation is now very clear. You have been controlled by me. Whether you live or die depends on my decision. Do you understand?"

"I know, so I told you my life story. I think with my status as a Heavenly Master and sixty years of practice experience, it should be helpful to you."

When Jiang Li heard An Hong say this, he said bluntly, "In that case, let me tell you what I think. I want to dig out your body and bring it back to plant."

"From now on, all the fruits on your body and the materials on the tree will belong to me, including your insights and cultivation experience!"

An Hong was very nervous when she heard this, but she was an old lady who had lived for decades after all, so Jiang Li didn't notice it at all.
