With a bang, the Yunsongzhu broke apart. The broken bamboo body had already turned into powder inside, and only the outer layer of green bamboo skin was still extremely hard. However, this layer of bamboo skin could not withstand it.

Zumi Jingyu's sharp stone broke apart in a few strokes.

"This, this, what's going on!" Mu Jingyu peeled off the bamboo heart in surprise and fiddled with the bamboo foam and asked.

Yi Hong adjusted his breath for a moment and then recovered. He took the sharp stone from Mu Jingyu's hand and chopped off the middle section of the fallen Yunsongzhu.

"Hehe, junior brother, you don't know this. The appearance of Yunsongzhu is not only hard, but also extremely tough. With our strength, it would be extremely difficult to cut it with an axe! I think back then, we

When I first took on this trial task, I thought about using an ax to chop it down like you. In the end, everyone was exhausted and half dead, and not a single plant was chopped down."

Mu Jingyu asked curiously, "In the end, how did you complete this task?"

Yi Hong threw aside the cut piece of Yunsongzhu, took a few breaths and said, "What a waste! When it was almost dark, we all came back empty-handed. Uncle Fan saw that we were all dejected, so he didn't blame us.

, but laughed loudly. Then he told us that as long as the bamboo heart is shattered with zhenqi, in just a moment, these clouds, pine and bamboo will die due to loss of nutrients. The hard bamboo skin will also become brittle.

Once it's hard enough, it can be cut off in just a few strokes."

Mu Jingyu suddenly understood, and excitedly raised his palms and asked, "Senior Brother Yi, do you think I can shatter Yun Songzhu with my cultivation?"

Yi Hong clapped both of his palms and laughed and said, "With your ability, you're pretty good at tickling these Yunsongzhu."

After saying that, he turned around and came to the nearby cloud pine and bamboo tree, and gently pressed it with his palms.

Looking back at Mu Jingyu, who was a little disappointed, he said, "But you can see how I do it first, and you can give it a try later."

As he spoke, he began to mobilize his true energy to invade the bamboo body. Mu Jingyu was beside him, listening attentively to Yi Hong teaching him the techniques. When the Yunsongzhu fell, he couldn't wait to find it.

A slightly smaller cloud pine and bamboo plant pressed its little hand up.

"Hoo~"

After Mu Jingyu took a deep breath, he began to transfer the extremely small amount of true energy from his small dantian, and followed the shallow meridians to the palm of his hand.

I only feel that this layer of bamboo skin is like a hard wall. It took a lot of effort to forcefully send a trace of zhenqi in. With this crack, it is easy to send the rest of the zhenqi in.

too much.

"Try it now. Gather all your energy to shatter the inside of Yunsongzhu and see if you can succeed." Yi Hong, who was watching from the side, gave timely guidance.

"Yeah!" Mu Jingyu heard this and without hesitation, he mobilized all the few true energy in his Dantian and sent it all to the inside of Yun Songzhu.

Then, following Yi Hong's instructions, he controlled the zhenqi to stir crazily, trying to shatter the inside of Yun Songzhu.

This was the first time that he used Zhenqi since Mo Yunshen began to teach him how to practice Taoism. Although he was a little unfamiliar at first, under Yi Hong's guidance, he gradually began to become proficient.

However, after all, his qualifications were too poor, and the time for practice was still short. In just a moment, all the energy in his Dantian was completely consumed. And the inside of Yun Songzhu was only shocked.

Only three floors.

"Huu~hu~" Mu Jingyu was not only sweating profusely, but also felt as if his whole body had been hollowed out. His legs were shaking slightly, and he could barely support his body.

"Junior brother, look at me!"

At this moment, Yi Hong suddenly shouted loudly, rushed to the opposite side of Mu Jingyu in a few steps, and pressed his palm against the cloud pine bamboo.

There was a snapping sound, and the Yunsongzhu was broken. The tall bamboo body was severed from the middle of the waist, and with a crackling sound, it fell towards Mu Jingyu's head.

Mu Jingyu had just exhausted all the energy in his body and had not yet recovered. Suddenly encountering such an unexpected incident, his mind went blank. His two limp legs suddenly exerted force in the rush, bang.

He jumped up with all his strength, and then fell heavily to the dirt beside him. He fell to the ground and chewed the mud, and then he managed to avoid it.

"Oh, Junior Brother Mu, are you okay?"

Seeing Mu Jingyu sitting up with difficulty, his hands constantly beating the dirt on his body. Yi Hong quickly ran over and helped him up.

"Senior brother, why did you suddenly exert your strength and didn't say anything to me?" Mu Jingyu spat out the dirt in his mouth and complained with a frown.

Yi Hong quickly laughed and said, "I saw that you couldn't break the bamboo heart for a while, so I wanted to help you. But I didn't master the strength for a while, so I broke it with one palm."

Seeing his sincere words, Mu Jingyu's eyes were full of self-blame. Although he was angry, he couldn't express it. Besides, he had to rely on him to complete the task today.

"Junior Brother Mu, please sit down and rest for a while. Look at me cutting down some cloud pine and bamboo trees. Come and help me again."

Maybe he was careless just now and almost caused Mu Jingyu to be injured. Yi Hong also felt a little guilty. He let Mu Jingyu sit down and rest while he went to the other side to cut down the clouds, pine and bamboo.

After sitting and resting for a quarter of an hour, Mu Jingyu slowly came to his senses. He then followed the meditation and breath-regulating method that Mo Yunshen taught him before to replenish the insufficient energy in his Dantian.

Then he stood up.

In just half an hour, Yi Hong chopped down a cloud pine and bamboo tree again and rested for a stick of incense. When Mu Jingyu stood up, there were already five cloud pine and bamboo trees that had been cut down earlier.

The trees are full of clouds, pines and bamboos.

"Junior Brother Mu, how are you doing with your rest? Do you want to try cutting down a few more cloud pine and bamboo trees?"

Yi Hong had just cut off a fallen Yunsongzhu. When he turned around and saw Mu Jingyu walking over, he asked with a smile.

Looking at the five pieces of bamboo on the ground, Mu Jingyu felt a little embarrassed. After all, these clouds, pine and bamboo trees were all the work of Yi Hong, and he had not contributed much.

I feel really sorry for letting myself go in vain. Moreover, cutting down Yunsongzhu is not just to complete the task and raise enough bamboo for the master. More importantly, it is to take the opportunity to train myself and be able to skillfully use the inner Dantian.

Infuriated.

This was immediately understood when he used his true energy to shatter the bamboo body for the first time.

Mu Jingyu replied, "Thank you for your hard work, senior brother. Let's take a rest now and let me give it a try."

Yi Hong said, "Wait a minute, your current Qi is still too weak, and you can't shake the bamboo body to pieces at once. Let me shake the bamboo body to pieces first, and then you can exert more force, and it will be easier."

There are more.

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Jingyu's consent, he stood next to a cloud pine and bamboo tree. After a moment, he withdrew his palm.

"Junior brother, it's up to you." Yi Hong waved his hand and called Mu Jingyu over, then stepped aside and stood aside.

With the first experience, Mu Jingyu became much more comfortable in circulating his Qi this time. He pressed his palm on the position where Yi Hong was just now, took a deep breath, and suddenly sent out most of the Qi.

Entered into the bamboo body.

He originally thought that even if the inside of the bamboo body was shaken to pieces by Yi Hong, it would still be extremely hard. With his own strength, it could not be shattered with one blow.

Who would have known that with the meager amount of energy in his Dantian, the bamboo body was shattered in one fell swoop. There was a crunching sound, and the bamboo body broke again. And it did not fall backwards like other clouds and bamboos.

He went there, but was hit on the head.

The same scene as before appeared again. Fortunately, Mu Jingyu was not exhausted this time. After shouting, his body spun very fast, trying to get aside first.

Unexpectedly, a slippery pine and bamboo branch appeared under my feet. As soon as I stepped on it, I felt countless fine needles like cow hair piercing the soles of the shoes and piercing into the soles of the feet.

Mu Jingyu groaned in pain, and immediately felt the soreness and numbness on the sole of his right foot. Before he could check what he had stepped on, he saw the tall Yun Songzhu falling down again.

In the panic, he didn't care about the numb and itchy soles of his feet. He couldn't help but exert force with his hands, and then he managed to crawl forward a few feet and barely managed to escape.

He felt a gust of wind blowing past his feet, and the cloud pine bamboo tree hit the ground just a few inches away from him.

Before he could calm down his pounding heart, Mu Jingyu hurriedly sat up, took off his shoes and socks in a few seconds, hugged the soles of his feet and began to examine them.

Although there was a numbness in the soles of his feet, there were no signs of injury. Just when he was at a loss, Yi Hong also squatted beside him, holding up a half-foot-long Yunsongzhu in his hand.

I saw a few cloud-white bamboo leaves growing diagonally on the cloud pine bamboo. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that these cloud-white bamboo leaves, which are as big as the palm of my hand, are actually made of hairs as thick as cow hairs.

It is composed of needles. Roughly speaking, there are probably more than 10,000 needles on each bamboo leaf.

It's just that these snow-white needles are so dense that they look like a whole bamboo leaf from a distance.

On the half of the cloud pine bamboo held by Yi Hong, a branch and leaf had been trampled to pieces. Come to think of it, the thing Mu Jingyu stepped on just now was this piece of cloud pine bamboo.

"Oh, Junior Brother Mu, are you okay?"

Yi Hong exclaimed, stretched out the piece of Yunsongzhu in front of him, and continued, "Why are you so careless? You actually stepped on the leaves of Yunsongzhu! Do you know that these bamboo leaves are all as thin as cow hair?"

It is made up of sharp thorns. Moreover, the tips of these needles are all filled with toxins. Once they penetrate into the skin, they will make people itchy and unbearable. It does not take two or three hours, but it will not dissipate easily."

Mu Jingyu didn't have time to answer, so he hurriedly pulled out the thorns one by one, and then he felt a little better. It's just that the toxin has penetrated deep into the skin. It may be like what Yi Hong said, and it will itch and numb for a while.

.

"Senior Brother Yi, I don't know why this broken bamboo suddenly appeared at my feet. Besides, how could this Yunsongzhu you left me be so effortless?"

At this moment, a trace of doubt arose in Mu Jingyu's heart again. If Yihong was trying to help him when he cut down Yunsongzhu for the first time, something unexpected happened. Then how could it be such a coincidence this time?

Unfortunately, a piece of cloud, pine and bamboo appeared under my feet?

You know, when he stood in front of Yun Songzhu, the surroundings were clean and there was no debris! Moreover, Yun Songzhu fell in the wrong direction. Logically speaking, it should have fallen backwards

If you go down, you won't fall head-on.

"Ah? I don't know about that. Maybe you used too much force and broke Yun Songzhu in one go." Yi Hong's eyes flashed with panic, and he quickly explained.

"Is this really the case?" Mu Jingyu was suspicious in his heart, but his face still didn't look strange.

Mu Jingyu reluctantly stood up, limped to an open space not far away, and sat down.

"Brother, I think we have cut down enough clouds, pine and bamboo. Why don't we go out and hand in the mission after I recover a little."

Regardless of whether Yi Hong did it intentionally or not, Mu Jingyu decided to stay away from him for the time being, so as not to suffer unwarranted danger.

"Haha, why, it's still early in the day, is Junior Brother Mu going back to resume his life?"

At this moment, not far behind Mu Jingyu, a burst of familiar laughter suddenly came. Five figures were seen walking over from the bamboo forest not far away.
Chapter completed!
