Chapter 41 New Year's Eve

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The morning light shone on the boy's face, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

Yu Huai glanced at the sky outside and exhaled.

Unexpectedly, this gaze lasted until dawn.

However, he gained a lot that night.

With the entry for "Understanding Formations," he no longer felt dizzy when reading "Notes on Formations," and instead learned some common knowledge about formations from it.

He also obtained the array diagrams of three arrays from this "Notes on Array Formations".

One of the formations is called the Illusion Killing Formation, a mid-grade first-level formation, which was used by Duan Ya back then.

The other two are called the Small-Scale Loom Array and the Concealment Array, both of which are first-tier, low-grade arrays.

However, a formation cannot be completed overnight.

Even with the array diagram, it was still difficult for him to set up the array after just one night of study.

However, he wasn't in a big hurry.

After putting away his notes, Yu Huai got out of bed, ate something, and then left the market.

Now that there are no more cultivators outside the market, and with his current cultivation level, he is not afraid of facing a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator, so going out to the market has become a regular occurrence for him.

We entered Qingyue Mountain.

Not far along, Yu Huai arrived at a relatively spacious hillside.

He hasn't neglected his magical practice these days.

Because practicing sword control techniques involves extremely large movements.

He then left the market and found this place.

After observing, he realized that no cultivators came here, so this place became his training ground for magic.

Now he has mastered the basics of sword control.

"go!"

Yu Huai made a hand seal and said aloud.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whoosh.

Several flying swords flew out of his storage bag, circled around him several times, and finally pierced straight into a huge rock in front of him.

boom!

The boulder split open with a sound, and fragments of rock shot out.

Without stopping, he continued to perform hand seals, and the flying sword continued to hover in the air. At first, it was a bit clumsy, but as Yu Huai's operation became more and more skilled, the flying sword in the air became more and more stable.

Unlike before, I no longer lose control of the flying sword after a single strike.

These flying swords were purchased by Yu Huai from the market. Two of them were low-grade first-tier magic weapons, while the rest only possessed some spirituality.

The Green Ear Sword is very valuable, and Yu Huai dares not let it leave him, lest it be taken away by someone else.

"Not bad, I'll have some again!"

Looking at the swirling flying sword, Yu Huai's face lit up with joy. He pointed at several trees not far away, and the flying sword shot towards them.

Bang bang bang!

Just then, a pig demon suddenly appeared and charged straight at Yu Huai, startling him. He used his Green Bamboo Step to create distance between himself and the pig demon.

But when he looked at it...

This pig demon was merely a low-grade, first-tier demon beast; it must have been the sound of Yu Huai's magic that attracted it.

Humph.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Yu Huai snorted softly, made a hand seal, and controlled several flying swords in the air to stab towards the pig demon.

He can handle even mid-grade demonic beasts, so why would he be afraid of this pig demon?

puff!

How could a low-grade pig demon withstand the thrusts of several flying swords?

In the blink of an eye, it was riddled with quills and only had time to let out a few whimpers before it breathed its last.

This pig demon meat is considered a good thing.

Yu Huai looked at the pig demon on the ground and thought to himself.

After practicing several spells there and making further progress, Yu Huai stopped, glanced at the sky, and returned to the market.

In this way, several dozen days passed.

The key to skill lies not in quantity but in quality.

After realizing he lacked the talent for formations and lost the support of the affixes, Yu Huai gradually gave up on formations.

He did not stubbornly stick to the formation.

Instead, he chose to continue drawing talismans and refining elixirs, prioritizing the mastery of these two skills.

During this period, Yu Huai tried to draw the Azure Origin Escape Talisman, but even with the blessing of the inscription, he failed to draw all ten of them.

This also made him realize that he had been too hasty.

Some cultivators need to spend decades studying to draw a first-grade high-quality talisman. He has less than a year of experience in drawing talismans, and since he has no talent, it is normal for him to fail.

Therefore, he was not discouraged, but continued to draw some mid-grade talismans to hone his talisman-drawing skills.

The same applies to alchemy; he still mainly focuses on refining first-grade low-level Lesser Rejuvenation Pills.

He didn't have time to study the puppet inheritance he obtained from Qingyue Mountain, and it remained in his storage bag gathering dust.

In this short period of time, Yu Huai made some progress in his cultivation by constantly taking drugs and with the blessing of cultivation scriptures, which made him feel very good.

He also didn't forget about using magic to refine his body, and made progress in that area as well.

child time.

[Entry: Pasting Fu (White): Pasting Spring Festival couplets on the door increases the fortune of the household by 10%, and keeps minor evil spirits away]

[Entry: Staying up all night (white): Staying up all night, resulting in heightened mental alertness, increases cultivation speed by 15% the next day]

[Entry: Chef (Blue): Can cook any ingredient into a top-notch delicacy, with a slight bonus]

……

The snow that had been falling for the past few days had stopped, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning broke through the morning mist, illuminating the earth.

Yu Huai got up very early that day.

Because today is different from the past.

This day is New Year's Eve.

He has been here for over a year now.

Standing in the courtyard, Yu Huai felt a pang of emotion.

The cultivation world here also has the custom of celebrating the New Year. Every year on New Year's Eve, Luofengfang holds various annual meetings. However, after what happened before, it is unknown whether it will still be held.

Even on New Year's Eve, he was all alone. No, he had Xiaoqing with him.

Yu Huai glanced at Xiao Qing, who was still fast asleep, and smiled.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you home? My brother and I have come to wish you a Happy New Year."

Oh?

They must be the Pi siblings from next door.

With these thoughts in mind, Yu Huai used his disguise technique and walked towards the door.

After chatting with the Pi siblings for a while, they realized that the events of this year didn't leave them with much of a feeling about New Year's Eve, so they quickly went back.

Besides the Pi siblings who came to offer New Year's greetings, the Fang brothers also came.

After chatting with the two brothers for a while, Yu Huai gave them red envelopes and handed them to them. Without lingering any longer, they left.

Ugh.

I've been here for a year now, and I don't know many people.

It seems that there's no difference between New Year's Eve and any other day.

However, today's entry is quite interesting.

Since I have this "Pasting Blessings" entry, I'll write a couplet for myself.

After seeing the Fang brothers off, Yu Huai pondered.

Not long after.

The handwriting is a bit ugly, but it's alright.

Yu Huai looked at the Spring Festival couplets at the entrance of the courtyard and nodded.

So this entry for "Pasting Blessings" should now be working.

The remaining two entries should not be wasted.

Yu Huai thought to himself.

evening.

Using the [Master Chef] entry, Yu Huai cooked a large meal for himself with monster meat. After eating with Xiao Qing, he suddenly realized that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Xiaoqing did nothing but eat and sleep, not caring about New Year's Eve. After eating, she lay down and fell asleep, which made Yu Huai laugh.

I should focus on spiritual practice!

Yu Huai glanced at the sunset and couldn't help but feel a little lonely. He took out a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills from his pocket and began to cultivate in the courtyard.

When Yu Huai opened his eyes again, he looked up at the sky.

A series of dazzling fireworks burst forth in the darkness.

New Year's Eve has passed just like that.
