I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Li Qingan began to try and trace the runes he saw in the air with his fingers according to certain rules.

But often, before it can be fully drawn, it begins to crumble.

After a few moments and repeated attempts, still failing, Li Qingan finally gave up.

"I've finally remembered it."

Li Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up again, adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes and concentrated, and then raised his hand to input a large amount of vital energy into the air to outline a light blue rune.

Li Qingan opened his eyes, pondering the seemingly real but actually fake runes in front of him. He saw that after he stopped inputting his vital energy, the runes actually absorbed spiritual energy in the air on their own, and then stopped absorbing it on their own after a while.

At this moment, a gentle breeze began to swirl around the rune, slowly transforming it into a small cyan tornado.

But when the tornado reaches a certain threshold, it begins to slowly dissipate, and the resulting azure spiritual energy transforms into a strong wind, making the bamboo leaves above rustle loudly.

Many emerald green bamboo leaves drifted down from the sky, bobbing like a small boat on the waves in the wind.

Recalling the runes he had just sketched and the runes formed by the earth veins he had seen before, Li Qing'an felt that there were still many things that were not right and that the sketching was somewhat awkward.

"It's unstable! It needs to be changed."

However, Li Qing'an didn't know how to improve it and started to hit a bottleneck. The effect displayed by a single rune was only the effect of a random Qingfeng spell, which seemed somewhat unappealing.

But this is only the very beginning.

He felt that if his understanding of runes deepened further, he might be able to comprehend a Dao technique even stronger than the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done for the next month or two.

All I can do is continue to slack off, save up my rest time, and drift through life.

More importantly, he needs to determine whether he can enter this state again in the future.

This was also the first time Li Qingan had converted about 30 days into such a shorter cultivation period twice. He wasn't very clear about the cumulative effects of the cultivation, nor did he know if he could still enter this state, or if he could simply convert the cultivation effects again.

"Hmm? It seems that if I cultivate for a while longer, I can break through again. I am currently at the peak of the third level of the Jade Purity Realm, and I am only one step away from the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm."

Li Qing'an was surprised by the abundance of vital energy within his body.

"He just broke through to the third level of the Jade Purity Realm a few days ago, and he's about to break through to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm. This speed is simply too fast."

"It seems we can start preparing the magic weapon for use at the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm." Li Qing'an began to ponder.

"Now, almost all the known Nine Heavens Divine Weapons have found their owners. Tianya is in Shuiyue's hands and will be left to Xueqi in the future. I definitely won't be able to get Zhanlong myself, and Moxue is also in my master's hands. It seems that I will have to forge a sword myself in the future."

If others knew that Li Qing'an, who was only at the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm, dared to covet the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, they would probably laugh their heads off.

It's just that we only know our own situation, so what's there to be afraid of if we're using cheat codes?

"Never mind, I'll leave it for now. Anyway, I have some books on weapon forging among the books I read for leisure."

After all, thanks to Tian Buyi's free-range approach, the weapons of the Dazhu Peak disciples were mostly crafted by themselves. He even remembered that Du Bishu later forged a magic weapon called a die.

"Rustle—rustle—"

At this moment, Li Qingan suddenly heard some rustling sounds coming from his right rear.

It wasn't the sound of people stepping on bamboo leaves, but rather like the scratching of bamboo leaves by the fingernails of small animals.

Li Qingan wasn't too concerned, because it was perfectly normal to have a few small animals in such a vast forest. After all, in the original story, Xiao Hui was seen and taken away by Zhang Xiaofan, even though he suffered some hardships.

Thinking of this, he walked to the back, intending to take a look at this fearless little creature.

"As long as it's not a snake, it's fine." Li Qing'an was genuinely afraid of this kind of legless, slippery creature.

As Li Qingan drew closer, the animals behind the bamboo grove gradually revealed their general shapes.

"Huh, this is a different kind of turtle I've never seen before."

Before him appeared a black turtle about the size of a palm, with some golden runes on its head, cautiously staring at him. Its eyes, the size of mung beans, also had wisps of gold in their pupils. He leaned closer and peered over the bamboo forest barrier, and saw that there were nine slightly raised plates on its shell, with fine lines between the crevices.

Li Qingan's approach seemed to alert it, its eyes fixed on him, and it took a step back with its limbs, adopting a highly aggressive posture.

In particular, the golden runes all over the turtle's body began to emit a faint golden glow, making the turtle appear very sacred.

"This is a good thing. Looks like I'll have to find a way to bring it back." Li Qingan's eyes narrowed, and he became interested.

"This tortoise, which looks quite extraordinary, deserves to be mine."

Li Qingan smiled.

He had previously wanted to find Little Gray and kidnap it, but then he thought it was too naughty. Zhang Xiaofan had been hit on the head with pine cones by it and ended up with bumps all over his head. Now he had found a different kind of turtle, which would be a perfect companion for his lazy nature.

How wonderful it would be to sleep lazily under the sun! If we were to feed it treasures from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury for a transformation, we might even raise a divine beast just like the Spirit Lord.

Thinking of this, Li Qingan squatted down and tried to coax it in a gentle tone, although he didn't know if the turtle could understand him.

"Little one, do you want to come with me? I have some delicious food here."

"Hmm, that scent is so familiar."

As they drew closer, Li Qingan was surprised to find that the turtle was emitting a very familiar aura, just like the aura of the earth veins he had just seen. Moreover, the aura was constantly dissipating and becoming fainter and fainter.

Li Qingan frowned slightly, only then realizing the strangeness of the earth's veins. Now, a turtle that was clearly related had appeared. It was impossible for the two to be unrelated.

He ate it directly....

The little turtle seemed to sense Li Qing'an's goodwill. The light emanating from its body gradually disappeared, and it stopped retreating. Instead, it moved forward a little, but still maintained a certain distance.

"Gulu~"

Li Qing'an stopped thinking about the connection between the two, looked at the turtle that had come closer and was making sounds, and tentatively reached out to touch its head.

"Yes, that's it. If you come with me, you definitely won't starve, and you can even sleep every day. I'll also build you a one-of-a-kind pond."

The tortoise initially stretched its neck to avoid him, but then, perhaps because Li Qingan approached and confirmed that Li Qingan also possessed the same lingering earth vein energy, it stopped trying to avoid him and allowed Li Qingan's hand to land on its head.

And gently nudge his palm with your head.

Seeing this, Li Qingan also picked up the turtle, placed it in his palm, and continued to examine the little creature.

"Hey, it's pretty good-looking. I wonder if it can grow up. If it can, maybe it can become my mount and let me experience what it's like for Tang Sanzang and his companions to cross the Tongtian River, as long as it doesn't throw me into the water." Li Qing'an silently thought about the future use of the turtle in his hand.

A man and a tortoise stared at each other, Li Qing'an stroking the tortoise's cool shell, when suddenly he thought of:

"I also need to give you a name. In the original story, the three-eyed spirit monkey is called Little Gray, which has great potential. You also have nine tortoise shells on your back, and let's also borrow the name of the legendary Nine Palaces, so I'll call you..."

Chapter 8 Dazhu Peak's New Pet, Xiao Luo

"I'll call you Xiao Luo, to rub against the edge of the Nine Palaces Luo Shu, and I hope you can withstand the consequences."

Li Qing'an had extremely high expectations for Xiao Luo. With such extraordinary abilities and a connection to the earth's veins, he was bound to achieve great things in the future.

With further training, he could definitely become a talent for the Taiqing Realm.

"Come on, let's go back and build you a specially made large pond."

As he spoke, Li Qing'an put the tortoise in his sleeve, otherwise he was afraid that the wind would blow it off when he was on his way.

......

Li Qing'an Courtyard, Dazhufeng

Li Qing'an was admiring his masterpiece and praising it highly.

It is truly a masterpiece, unparalleled!

Just a few steps away from where Li Qing'an usually placed his recliner, there was a small puddle. The bottom of the puddle had some pebbles, forming a stepped pattern so that the turtle could freely enter and exit the water and the ground.

The place looked rather rudimentary, but Xiao Luo was swimming happily in the water, and would occasionally float to the surface to look at Li Qing'an, as if trying to find out where he was.

"Alright, you can play by yourself. I'm going to sleep now."

As he spoke, Li Qing'an lay back down in the chair and began to rock back and forth, placing the books on the coffee table on his head to shield himself from the warm but glaring sunlight.

Seeing that Li Qing'an hadn't gone far and was sleeping on the recliner, Xiao Luo climbed out of the puddle, slowly walked under the recliner, and began to rest as well, pulling back her limbs and head.

It was as if being closer to Li Qing'an would make her more comfortable.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but just before dinner, Li Qingan woke up.

"Xiao Luo, let's go eat, let's eat."

After learning in the morning that his master's wife had gone to Xiaozhu Peak, his fellow disciples could rest for half a day, and he was relieved of the task of cooking.

Li Qingan glanced at the sky, quickly picked up Xiao Luo, who was still fast asleep on the ground, and rushed to the kitchen.

It's too late.

Their hands and feet moved extremely quickly, as if eating on time had become a habit.

......

Outside the kitchen, after the meal

Everyone on Dazhu Peak was chatting outside.

"Li Qing'an, let me play with your turtle." Tian Ling'er asked Li Qing'an for the turtle that he had placed on his shoulder.

Li Qingan didn't pay much attention, took it off his shoulder and placed it in Tian Ling'er's hand, correcting Tian Ling'er's mistake: "Its name is Xiao Luo."

"Sixth Junior Brother, where did you find this turtle? It looks quite extraordinary, like a rare species from the primordial era, and it's much better than the big yellow turtle that Master raised." Du Bishu and the others also gathered around Tian Ling'er to observe Xiao Luo.

Li Qingan spread his hands, touched his face, and said narcissistically:

"I don't know either. Xiao Luo just appeared next to me by himself. I'm still very curious. Maybe it's because I'm too handsome."

"what"

The group scoffed at Li Qing'an's words.

"He really found me himself..." Li Qingan said helplessly, just about to explain.

"Xiao An, come out with me for a moment."

At that moment, Su Ru, who had just returned from Xiaozhu Peak, called out to Li Qing'an, who was standing to the side.

She planned to inquire in detail about the relationship between Li Qing'an and Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak, so as to prepare a countermeasure in advance and avoid her senior sister causing trouble for him one day.

"Me?" Li Qingan asked curiously, and quickly followed.

"Oh~"

At this moment, Du Bishu and the others exchanged glances with a strange look in their eyes, filled with excitement. Their master's wife went to Xiaozhu Peak for their junior brother, and after returning from Xiaozhu Peak, she called their junior brother aside to talk. They didn't believe there was nothing fishy about it.
