My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chen Yu stared at the four big characters - "The Magical Skill of Bigu", and was speechless for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him who claimed to be his master, then looked down at the "secret book" in his hand and thought: Is this old man trying to make fun of me?

In this remote place, I met a guy who wanted to be my disciple, and he wanted me to practice the magic of fasting. He looked like a liar no matter how I looked at him.

Seeing that Chen Yu hadn't spoken for a long time, the old man stroked his long white beard, smiled, and showed his yellow teeth: "What?

Disciple, are you shocked by this unparalleled skill of yours?"

Chen Yu replied with a forced smile, "Master, what is this Qigong technique...?"

The old man approached Chen Yu mysteriously and said in a low voice, "This is an ancient secret. If you practice it to perfection, you can eat wind and drink dew, and live as long as the sky!

Just think about it, you won’t have to eat out anymore, how much money you’ll save!”

Chen Yu almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. This old man was really good at fooling people. He made it sound like fasting was a good thing.

His stomach also growled in response, as if protesting the old man's words.

Liu Ruyan, who was standing by, covered her mouth and laughed secretly, while Lin Qingxue remained expressionless, as if she was not interested in all this.

Chen Yu coughed dryly, closed the book, and stuffed it into his bag: "Master, let's talk about this magical skill later. I'm starving now, so I need to fill my stomach first."

The old man's face changed when he heard this: "Nonsense! Master just taught you the magic skills, and you want to disobey the master's order? How can this be disgraceful!"

Chen Yu quickly waved his hands: "Master, calm down. It's not that I don't want to practice, I'm just too hungry now. It will be more efficient to practice after I'm full!"

The old man glanced at Chen Yu, as if thinking about the logic in his words.

At this time, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the distance, accompanied by the excited shouts of the villagers.

A burly man wearing coarse clothes and with a full beard pushed through the crowd and walked up to Chen Yu and the others.

He said to the old man in a deep voice: "Old Immortal, you are finally back!

The chickens of Widow Wang from our village are missing again. Go check them out!"

The old man immediately became excited when he heard this. He patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said, "Disciple, follow me and see what I have to offer!"

Confused, Chen Yu followed the old man and the villagers to Widow Wang's house.

Widow Wang's yard wasn't large, but it was kept quite clean. A plump woman in a flowered dress was sitting in the yard, wiping away tears, surrounded by a group of chattering villagers.

Chen Yu looked around and found that Widow Wang was quite pretty. Although she was a little old, she still had charm.

The old man walked up to Widow Wang and cleared his throat. "Widow Wang, stop crying. Tell me how your chickens got lost."

Widow Wang raised her head and looked at the old man with tears in her eyes: "Old Immortal, I don't know either!

I saw it pecking at rice in the yard this morning, and then it disappeared in the blink of an eye. This is the third chicken I've lost this month!"

The old man stroked his beard and nodded pretentiously: "It seems that this is a difficult case!"

He looked around and his eyes fell on Chen Yu: "Disciple, can you find any clues?"

Chen Yu quickly turned on his X-ray vision and scanned the yard of Widow Wang's house.

He could see everything in the yard at a glance. Apart from ordinary furniture and some daily necessities, there was nothing unusual.

He expanded the range of his X-ray vision to the entire village, but still found no clues.

Chen Yu shook his head: "Master, I didn't see anything suspicious."

The old man frowned. "Could it be that it has become invisible? This shouldn't be the case. How could such a powerful monster come from this small village?"

Just then, a sharp voice came from the crowd: "I know where the chicken went!"

Chen Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin man with a pointed chin and monkey face squeezing out from the crowd.

The man was wearing ragged clothes and had a dirty face. He looked like a bad guy.

The old man looked the man up and down and asked, "You know? Tell me about it."

The man chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "I saw with my own eyes that Widow Wang's chickens were taken away by a giant weasel!"

The crowd suddenly exploded and the villagers talked about it.

"Weasel? How is that possible!"

"Widow Wang's family has lost chickens before, but I've never heard of a weasel being the cause!"

"Maybe this guy stole the chicken and deliberately framed the weasel!"

When Widow Wang heard this, she burst into tears: "Old Immortal, please make the decision for me!

My chickens must have been eaten by a weasel!"

The old man stroked his beard and looked at the man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks: "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Si." The man answered with a nod.

"Li Si, are you sure what you saw was a weasel?" the old man confirmed again.

Li Si swore confidently, "It's absolutely true! I saw it clearly. The weasel was much bigger than an ordinary weasel, and its eyes were flashing red. It looked like it was not a good thing!"

The old man pondered for a moment and said to Chen Yu, "Disciple, go and take a closer look to see if there are any traces of the weasel."

Chen Yu turned on his X-ray vision again and searched the entire village carefully, but still found no trace of the weasel.

He thought to himself, is Li Si lying?

As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flash through the backyard of Widow Wang's house.

He quickly focused his attention and observed carefully, and found that the black shadow was indeed a weasel, and it was much larger than an ordinary weasel, and its eyes were glowing red.

Chen Yu was delighted. He had finally found a clue! He pointed to the backyard of Widow Wang's house and said to the old man, "Master, I saw a weasel! It's in the backyard!"

When the old man heard this, he cheered up: "Okay! Let's go catch it!"

The old man rushed into the backyard of Widow Wang's house with Chen Yu, Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan and a group of villagers.

The backyard is not big and there are some vegetables and fruit trees planted in it.

Chen Yu activated his X-ray vision and stared closely at the weasel. The weasel seemed to sense danger and scurried around, trying to escape.

Chen Yu pointed to where the weasel was hiding and shouted, "It's behind that tree!"

The old man immediately swung his crutch and hit the tree.

With a "bang", the branch was broken, and the weasel rushed out from behind the tree and ran towards the courtyard wall.

Lin Qingxue drew out his sword, and with a flash of cold light, the weasel was cut in half and fell to the ground, motionless.

The villagers immediately cheered and praised Lin Qingxue's superb swordsmanship.

Widow Wang also burst into laughter and thanked Lin Qingxue profusely.

Chen Yu looked at the weasel corpse on the ground, feeling a little confused.

This weasel's eyes are indeed glowing red, and its body is much larger than that of an ordinary weasel. Could it really be a monster?

He walked over and carefully examined the weasel's body, and found a small jade pendant hanging around its neck.

Chen Yu picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. It was emerald green, with strange patterns carved on it, and looked very valuable.

As he was watching, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a faint green light, and a cool breath rushed into his body.

Chen Yu felt relaxed all over, and the true energy in his body also increased a lot.

He was shocked to find that this jade pendant was actually a treasure!

The old man also noticed the jade pendant in Chen Yu's hand. He walked over, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This... this is a spirit-gathering jade pendant!" the old man exclaimed.

"Spirit Gathering Jade Pendant?" Chen Yu asked doubtfully.

"That's right!" the old man explained. "The Spirit Gathering Jade Pendant can absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and transform it into its own energy, which is very beneficial for cultivation!"

Chen Yu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this small jade pendant would have such magical effects!

He quickly put the jade pendant around his neck, feeling the endless spiritual energy flowing into his body, his heart filled with joy.

It seems that this spicy strips challenge is really an unexpected gain!
