The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Throughout the entire day, Hu Xingtong practiced his mental skills and supernatural powers under Si Xu's guidance. In Si Xu's words, Hu Xingtong was a natural born cultivator, and in this world, only he could match his talent, and no one else could compete with him.

In just one day, Hu Xingtong mastered the two magical powers and one mental method. All he needed now was time to perfect his mental method and magical powers.

On the second day, Tan Luo and Si Xu switched positions, and Tan Luo supervised Hu Xingtong's practice that day.

Tan Luo also has his own considerations about Hu Xingtong's practice.

"Now, you should have cultivated the sword, weapon, talisman, formation, and body, right?"

Hu Xingtong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the secret of his additional cultivation would be discovered. So he answered truthfully, "Indeed, but... there is also an additional alchemy."

Hearing this, Tan Luo nodded in understanding, and then continued, "Physical training and martial arts are one, you can practice together. As for the rest, come back to me after you return, and I will arrange some lessons for you."

As he spoke, Tan Luo slowly walked up to Hu Xingtong and, like Si Xu, touched his forehead. "These are some cultivation techniques I found during my travels. They encompass everything you've cultivated. Take a look."

Hu Xingtong silently accepted the information that emerged in his mind, and words with ancient charm emerged in his mind:

There are the Hundred Herbs Alchemy Manual, the Complete Collection of Rune Formations, and almost every kind of martial arts. But the one that attracted her the most was the body-refining martial arts called the Mirror Shadow Sutra.

He transformed himself into a mirror image, with light and concealed aura. It was divided into three gates: the upper gate was for strengthening the body, mainly for defense; the middle gate was for illusion, mainly for change; the lower gate was for lightness, mainly for speed. It could be said to be a skill that combined defense, escape, and concealment, and was very suitable for Hu Xingtong to use it to play the pig and eat the tiger.

"Master, yesterday my great master taught me a mental method and two magical powers. If you had taught me these now, I wouldn't be able to practice them all."

Tan Luo looked at her, his voice somewhat normal, but there was always a strange tone in his voice, "You have the ability to cultivate so much, don't you have the ability to practice more techniques?"

Hu Xingtong only felt that Tan Luo seemed to roll his eyes slightly. The image of her gentle and elegant master collapsed right before her eyes. How could he... say that about herself?

"Okay, you just practice first, and I'll watch and correct your mistakes. In less than five years, it will be the sect's grand competition. By then, you five must strive to make some name for yourself. Don't embarrass the sect." Tan Luo found a recliner and sat down. He didn't look like an immortal at all, but more like a farmer enjoying a pastoral life.

"Master, can I not go? There are so many people here, I'm scared." Hu Xingtong still wanted to hide and didn't want to participate in those social events.

"I'm not asking you to make friends with others. I'm asking you to build a reputation for yourself. It will benefit you in the future. When you reach the top of the world, those people will look up to you. What's there to be afraid of?"

[Xingxing, there are also tasks for the sect-wide competition. You can't avoid it.]

Hearing this, Hu Xingtong stopped struggling, lowered his head, and murmured resignedly, "Okay."

But then he thought, his own cultivation and talent are not bad, not to mention he still has the main quest of breaking through the Heavenly Dao. He can't fail this side quest. Instantly, he became energized and added, "But I probably won't embarrass myself. With the guidance of my Grandmaster and Master, I will definitely win. Even if I don't win, I can learn from their strengths and overcome my weaknesses and fight again next time. After all, life always has the opportunity to try and make mistakes."

Tan Luo glanced at him calmly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. As if infected by her optimism, he felt a lot more relaxed. He asked, "Did your master ever tell you that your mood is like the unchanging weather, sometimes good and sometimes bad?"

Hu Xingtong pretended not to understand and replied, "No, Grandmaster only told me to cultivate well so that I could go find him one day after reaching the Spiritual Transformation stage. He also told me to keep a calm mindset and not get too hung up on things. I figured I wasn't getting too hung up on things, so why would Grandmaster say that?"

Seeing this, Tan Luo's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't refute. He said calmly: "It's best for you to stick to your current attitude and not fight or compete. It's not that your master can't support you."

Hu Xingtong always felt that there was something behind the words between the two people, but he didn't dare to make random guesses. He thought there was no need for internal friction.

They practiced until midnight, then Tan Luo let Hu Xingtong go. He told her to rest and then he left. No one knew where he went, but they only knew that he ran faster than Hu Xingtong.

Tomorrow is the day when Si Xu's clone will disappear. During this period of time, Hu Xingtong really likes practicing with her master. Perhaps because their paths are similar, every word of Si Xu's advice corresponds to something she didn't understand before. Si Xu would also praise her talent from time to time and talk to her about Zi Jing.

Hu Xingtong felt that these days were much more comfortable than usual. In the past, she had been practicing hard by herself, but now, the teaching taken turns by Tan Luo and Si Xu reminded her of her school days. The only difference was that their teaching made her feel much more fulfilled and interesting, not boring at all, but simply a peaceful feeling.

It even gave Hu Xingtong the illusion that he was supposed to have this kind of life.

Boom——

There was a faint thunder-like sound in the sky. Hu Xingtong was about to go out to take a look, but at this time the system came out.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the meeting mission. The mission reward has been issued. Congratulations on achieving the special endings of "Let go of obsessions, and the road will lead to heaven" and "Flowers will bloom again, and people will meet again." Mission reward: 13th floor of the Body Forging Secret Realm, and the Tao returns to the Hundred-Layer Tower.]

Hearing the sudden task prompt sound, Hu Xingtong felt confused because he clearly did nothing.

"I didn't do anything, how did I complete the task?"

[Yes, I don't know what provoked Tan Luo to go talk to Si Xu. Just after they finished talking, Si Xu's clone dissipated. If you're really curious, just go and take a look.]

Hu Xingtong was indeed curious about what had happened. Tan Luo had been gone for only an incense stick of time, but Si Xu had disappeared. It was clear that there was still half a day left.

"Yinjing, let me see what happened just now." Hu Xingtong found a place to sit down, and a picture immediately appeared in his consciousness.

In the picture, Tan Luo, dressed in green, stood in front of Zi Jing and Si Xu, not saying a word and just standing there stupidly, which made Si Xu a little impatient.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you planning to stay here all night?"

Tan Luo raised his head and looked at the two of them. Looking at Zi Jing, who looked exactly like his disciple, he seemed to understand something and then asked Si Xu, "Master, what happened when you broke through that day? Was there any danger?"

Si Xu frowned, his face full of impatience. "It's not dangerous. When your life span ends and your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will have to go through that. People who practice Taoism only do things with a clear conscience. They don't kill or burn people, don't violate ethical principles, and don't lose their conscience. Naturally, they won't be afraid of those things."

Tan Luo seemed to understand the meaning of Si Xu's words. He looked at Zi Jing and asked, "Did Master's Wife ever think that she would leave Master forever?"

Zi Jing smiled, not caring why Tan Luo asked, and said bluntly, "As your master said, it's enough to act with a clear conscience. Time and cause and effect all have reincarnation. The cause he and I planted has not yet borne fruit, so the way of heaven must have reincarnation. If not, everything in the world will have cause but no effect, wouldn't that be a mess?"

"Thank you for your advice..." Tan Luo seemed to understand something. A faint white mist lingered around him, and he murmured, "Fate is endless, and we will meet again someday. Master, one day you and I will meet again."

"Boom——"

The scene ends here. Hu Xingtong looks up at the sky in front of him. The thunder in the sky has stopped. Sun Ze and the other four are standing beside him, all looking up at the distant sky.
