Wandering among the heavens, learning has no end.

Su Xiaoyong still couldn't pull Ji Yuan away.

Su Xiaoyong watched Ji Yuan pack his luggage and tightly grasped one of his hands: "Brother Ji Yuan, when will you come to my house again?"

"Well...it's hard to say. I'll come again if I have the chance."

Ji Yuan shook his head and said.

Su Xiaoyong pouted, her eyes reddened, and tears involuntarily fell: "I don't want you to leave."

"Xiao Yong, don't be stubborn, Ji Yuan is going home too."

Su Wencai reached out and patted Su Xiaoyong's head.

Su Xiaoyong pretended not to hear and held onto Ji Yuan tightly.

Ji Yuan then took out a small figurine that he had carved the night before.

Two days ago, he had already received a letter from Granny Qin, informing him that Granny Qin would arrive in Jinling in the next two days to take him back to Yunyin Mountain.

That's why he carved two small wooden sculptures yesterday, as a farewell gift for Su Xiaoyong.

"Xiao Yong, this is for you too."

Don't worry, I'll come again next time.

Ji Yuan smiled and looked at Su Xiaoyong.

Su Xiaoyong looked at a small wooden carving that looked exactly like Ji Yuan, let go of Ji Yuan's hand, and took the wooden carving.

Su Xiaoyong looked at the small wooden carving with appreciation, then looked up at Ji Yuan: "You have to keep your word."

"Of course, we pinky swear."

Ji Yuan reached out his hand and said.

"Okay, pull the hook."

Su Xiaoyong hooked her little finger around Ji Yuan's little finger.

The two pressed their thumbs together, making a pact.

Su Wencai also comforted Su Xiaoyong from the side: "Don't be too sad, Xiaoyong. If he doesn't come, Grandpa will take you to find him."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Xiaoyong nodded immediately.

……

The main gate of the Su residence, at the entrance.

Ji Yuan and Granny Qin quickly boarded the carriage, and Su Xiaoyong waved and called out from the gate, "Goodbye, Brother Ji Yuan~"

"Goodbye."

Ji Yuan smiled and looked at Su Xiaoyong in response.

Afterwards, Su Xiaoyong and Su Wencai watched the carriage disappear from sight at the gate.

Su Wencai looked down at Su Xiaoyong, who was still very reluctant to part.

His grandfather hadn't expected that after Ji Yuan stayed for a while, Su Xiaoyong would be so reluctant to part with him.

This kid's got a knack for coaxing kids.

……

on the way back.

While driving the carriage, Granny Qin chatted with Ji Yuan.

How have you been these days?

Granny Qin asked.

"Very happy."

Ji Yuan replied with a smile.

Granny Qin smiled and said, "That's good. I will definitely travel the world again in the future. Since you are happy, I will send you to the Su residence before each of my travels."

"Master's wife, I'm willing, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to always go there to eat and stay for free?"

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and asked.

"It's alright. Look at that girl's appearance. If you go a few more times, you'll probably be the Su family's son-in-law by now. It's perfectly reasonable for you to eat and live at their house."

"I'll tease you with a smile," Qin Po said jokingly.

"cough……"

"Don't be shy, that girl seems quite nice to your teacher."

“Master’s wife, I’m only nine years old. It’s a bit too early to talk about this.”

"It is late."

Qin Po smiled and replied, then stopped teasing Ji Yuan.

……

Ji Yuan followed Granny Qin back to Yunyin Mountain and resumed his relentless cultivation.

There were only him and Granny Qin on the mountain. Apart from cultivating, he really didn't have anything else to do all day.

As time went by, Ji Yuan's martial arts skills improved more and more.

Ji Yuan gradually learned just how good her talent really was.

According to what he learned from Granny Qin, his talent for martial arts was no less than that of Li Xiangyi.

At least in terms of cultivation speed, it is not inferior.

However, I'm not sure about his self-created martial arts.

Li Xiangyi's strength lies not only in his fast cultivation speed, but also in his strong creative talent.

However, for Ji Yuan, it was already quite good that his cultivation speed was not inferior to Li Xiangyi's.

So what if he's a little weak in creating his own martial arts? He has plenty of time, and he can make up for that deficiency with time.

……

The next few years.

Every year, Granny Qin would go on a journey, which would last for two or three months.

During this period, Ji Yuan will be sent to the Su family in Jinling by Granny Qin.

Every time Ji Yuan passed by, it was the happiest time for Su Xiaoyong.

Similarly, Su Xiaoyong was always very reluctant to see Ji Yuan leave.

……

In the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan is already sixteen.

Ji Yuan has been in this world for more than seven years.

There are still two years until the story begins.

Yunyin Mountain is the summit of a mountain peak on the south side.

Ji Yuan stood atop the peak, brandishing his long sword, leaving behind a fading afterimage; his movements were unpredictable and ever-changing.

A set of sword techniques has been completed.

Ji Yuan was practicing the Xiangyi Tai Sword, a technique created by Li Xiangyi.

The Xiangyi Tai Sword has three styles: Dragon Treading Snow, and Last Night in the Small Building, the East Wind and the Bright Moon Sink into the Western Sea.

The martial arts of Yunyin Mountain are actually reflected in the Xiangyi Tai Sword.

The east wind blew again last night in the small building, which is somewhat similar to the carefree and unfettered swordsmanship.

When unleashed, the sword technique is so fast that it leaves afterimages.

The Xiangyi Tai Sword has three forms, each with its own strengths.

The "Dragon Treading Snow" movement is the most agile and varied, and it is even more wonderful when combined with the "Swaying Steps".

Last night, the east wind was strongest in Xiaolou, and after it exerted its full force, it left behind several afterimages.

The most powerful move is "The Moon Sets in the Western Sea," which is like a powerful ultimate move—it doesn't have any fancy tricks, but focuses on sheer force.

Ji Yuan really liked this sword technique.

The sword technique he now specializes in is the Xiangyi Tai Sword.

The swordsmanship of Yunyin Mountain is indeed quite good, but Xiangyi Tai Sword has a kind of innovation after taking the essence of it, so just practice this swordsmanship well.

As for the swordsmanship of Yunyin Mountain, you can learn it once you've mastered it.

He didn't have much time to practice at a deeper level.

After all, he still needs to practice other martial arts.

The martial arts he is currently practicing are Yangzhou Slow, Xiangyi Tai Sword, Posuo Step, Thousand Faces and Ten Thousand Forms, Riding the Wind for Ten Thousand Miles, and Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds.

More than seven years have passed. In Ji Yuan's attribute panel, Yangzhou Man has recently been upgraded to level four, and the other five martial arts have also been upgraded to level three.

This is incredibly fast, much faster than when he learned painting and wood carving in the last world.

On the one hand, Ji Yuan spends several months of the year in seclusion in the mountains, cultivating every single day.

On the other hand, after allocating points to the Spirit attribute, the learning speed will be faster.

The martial arts skills that Ji Yuan learned were also included in the skill section of the attribute panel.

Regarding his current strength.

Ji Yuan felt that if one only looked at the characters who appeared in the TV series and didn't speculate on whether there were any hidden masters, they could probably be ranked in the top three.

The only one I'm not confident I can defeat right now is Di Feisheng.

Well, so let's be modest and aim for the top three.

……

After Ji Yuan finished practicing his swordsmanship, he headed towards Yunju Pavilion from the mountaintop.

Yunju Pavilion.

After Ji Yuan arrived, he found Granny Qin and said, "Master's wife, you don't need to see me off this time you go on your travels. I'll go to Jinling by myself."

"The world is a dangerous place. You're too young. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Qin Po asked with some concern.

“Master’s wife, there’s no need to worry. I’m already sixteen, not a child anymore.”

Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head.
