It has been a full month since the meteorite fell.

Early that morning, a faint white mist floated from the back mountain of Maoshan. Walking on the mountain path, the straw sandals were soaked by dew.

The smoke from the cooking stoves of people who have risen early has risen in the distance, without the hustle and bustle of the city, nor the impetuousness of industry. In this beautiful scenery, a young man in white dress walked slowly between the mountain roads with a hatchet on his back. His straw sandals were soaked, indicating that he had walked a long mountain road.

The hatchet was carried behind Yan Ning with a hemp rope. He had been walking on this road for a month and had been extremely familiar with it. So while he was walking, he was holding the ancient book of Tiandaoyitang given to him by Tao Hongjing that day.

The ancient books of Tiandaoyi Hall record some powerful talismans and attack techniques. Yan Ning is a bit difficult to read, but he can understand it at most. However, Yan Ning has never had the opportunity to experiment with his own cultivation results, and he always feels a little awkward.

It seems that I don’t like practicing this technique.

Over the past month, Tao Hongjing would occasionally visit Yan Ning and even personally guide Yan Ning's practice. However, Yan Ning was not interested in practicing the magic of the Heavenly Daoyi Hall. The boredom he showed made Tao Hongjing sigh. In the past week, Yan Ning had never seen Tao Hongjing.

At the beginning, Yu Linglong would accompany Yan Ning up the mountain to chop firewood almost every day, but probably after Dai Yuquan's report, the elder forced Yu Linglong to retreat on the grounds of the importance of cultivation, so Yan Ning had not seen her for many days.

But walking in the deep mountains and forests, the sound of birds and insects are heard everywhere, and Yan Ning doesn’t feel lonely. Every day, he can climb to the roof and see the beautiful starry sky at night, and look at the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain.

As he walked, Yan Ning had already arrived at the mountain where he chopped wood. Many trees had been cut down by Yan Ning, leaving bare stumps. However, after a month of rain and dew, tender green branches grew again on the stumps.

After putting away the ancient books, Yan Ning untied the rope, put down the hatchet, and prepared to start a day's journey of chopping wood. Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind him. Yan Ning was shocked and instinctively hid aside.

Click!

A small stone flew over to Yan Ning's ear and hit the tree stump in front of him, leaving a very shallow sunken mark on the stump!

"Who is it?" Yan Ning took a breath of air. If the small stone hit his head just now, even if he was hit by iron, he would definitely be injured.

"I actually avoided it."

Yan Ning turned around and saw a group of Maoshan disciples in white standing on the branches not far away. Their steps were lighter and much more powerful than a month ago. Dai Yuquan also made a move to throw stones, as if he was afraid that Yan Ning would not know that the stones were thrown out by himself.

Yan Ning frowned. Yan Ning's memory was chaotic before and did not recognize Dai Yuquan, but now he knows it somewhat that Dai Yuquan is a child of a wealthy family at the foot of the mountain. He is later than himself, but his talent is much higher and he is a few years older than him. He has always been unable to stand Tao Hongjing's preference for Yan Ning, a waste of strength, and he has to call Yan Ning a senior brother. After several conflicts, Dai Yuquan received psychological comfort, and then he always likes to bully Yan Ning and enjoys it.

To be precise, he likes to bully Yu Jiaping before, and Yan Ning now won’t let him bully him casually.

"Dai Yuquan, do you want to kill someone?" Yan Ning said, pointing to the small stone on the ground.

Dai Yuquan sneered, "Isn't this nothing happened? Senior brother is very good. Junior brother, I know senior brother will definitely be fine, so I made such a joke."

What a joke, I want to expose the bad behavior just now?

The gang of dog legs behind Dai Yuquan laughed even more, as if they were about to fall off the branch if they accidentally fell.

Yan Ning had a calm face and silently picked up the small stone, played with it for a while, and then suddenly took advantage of Dai Yuquan's inattention and threw the small stone over!

The little pebbles were not flying fast, but Dai Yuquan did not expect Yan Ning to take action suddenly. He smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, and the little pebbles flew straight into his mouth!

"Uh...ahhhhh!"

Dai Yuquan's face suddenly turned red. He accidentally fell from a tree more than ten meters high. The disciples around him looked at it and jumped down and patted his chest and back. It was difficult for Dai Yuquan to spit out the small stone.

"Yu Jiaping, what do you mean?" Dai Yuquan's face turned red like a monkey's butt, his eyes were covered with blood. He almost choked to death just now.

"It's just a little joke. My junior brother is very knowledgeable, and my senior brother is superficial. You can't be killed by a small stone, right?" Yan Ning showed a smile on his face, and then completely ignored Dai Yuquan's eyes as if he was about to kill, silently picked up the hatchet and carried it on his shoulder.

Dai Yuquan was immediately scared when he saw this hatchet. The master's sect had regulations that only peach wood swords could be used in the mountain gate, so they were covered with wood, and Yan Ning had a real sword in his hand. If it was really a fight, no matter how big the difference in your strength was, Yan Ning could understand Dai Yuquan with just one knife.

"You younger brothers, do you still need to practice? Since you want to practice, don't waste your time here."

A disciple said, "We went to the back mountain to collect herbs under the orders of the third elder. We can go wherever we like. Do you have any control?"

"I don't care where you are, but the hatchet has no eyes. If you accidentally cut someone, you're embarrassed!"

Yan Ning slashed the big tree as thick as a bowl in front of him with a knife. The sharp hatchet was three points into the wood, almost half of it.

Dai Yuquan was suddenly shocked when he saw this scene. The strongest copper and iron trees growing on the back mountain. Ordinary people can only cut two or three trees a day with all their strength. Why is Yan Ning more than half of them with one knife?

Is this still a power that a normal person can possess?

Dai Yuquan suddenly felt guilty. Thinking of Yan Ning going down the mountain to save the villagers, he began to worry whether Yan Ning deliberately hid his strength so that he could take revenge on them in the future.

"Don't you get out?" Yan Ning pulled out the hatchet and said with a squinted eye.

Dai Yuquan trembled all over, and then immediately ran away with his fellow disciples behind him without looking back.

Yan Ning glanced at them in confusion, thinking when Dai Yuquan was so cowardly?
