Chapter 9 Ciri's Accidental Upgrade
"Brother, eat loquat."
Xiaoyi ran around and said hello to the magpies, and then went to pick a loquat and handed it to Xiatian.
“Loquats are a little cold, so you can’t eat too much.”
Uncle Cao, who was waving the stone lock, said seriously.
Xiao Ai was holding a wooden sword while practicing her Dugu Nine Swords.
Uncle Cao was practicing stone locks, and Xiaoyi ran around.
It rained heavily last night, and it was a rare and refreshing and pleasant morning.
[Ding! The system detected some substances needed for upgrading.]
Xia Tian sat on the recliner and Siri's voice came from his mind.
Summer: [Oh? What?]
Xirui: [Plant carcasses.]
Look at the loquats in your hands in summer...
Summer:【Is this?】
Xirui:【Yes, it requires a lot.】
Xia Tian: [I just said that I felt the opportunity to upgrade last night, so coincidental...]
Xiatian and Xirui had a conversation and estimated that all the fruits on the loquat tree were needed, and this was only part of the substance needed to upgrade.
Xiatian: [Then wait until all the conditions are met, let’s deal with it together.]
———————————————
"Xiaotian, Xiaotian, come and help."
Grandma Liu's shout came from the front yard.
Xiatian: "You wait, I'll come right away."
Grandma Liu is an elderly widowed man living in the front yard. Since her husband passed away 13 years ago, she has lived alone in the front yard.
Grandma Liu asked Xia Tian to help take some of the items left by her husband to the yard to dry.
The deceased old man was once a geological exploration team member. During his decades of field career, he collected many small things.
There are calligraphy and paintings that don’t know whether it is true or false, ancient books, bottles, jars, and some ores.
Xia Tian helped Grandma Liu move things while thinking:
"Actually, these things don't necessarily need to be dried. Maybe Grandma Liu is recalling her husband during this process."
"Hey, what's this thing? It's pretty good."
Xia Tian looked at a box. There were three round stones inside the box.
One big and two small, the big one is slightly larger than the pigeon egg, and the small one is slightly smaller than the little finger. There is a faint light red halo flowing on the stone.
At this moment, Xiri's voice came from his mind:
[Ding! The system detects the main substance required for upgrade, and it is recommended to kill witnesses to obtain the substance!]
Summer is speechless...
Xia Tian: "Grandma Liu, what is this? Can you give it to me? I'll make a decoration for my sister."
Grandma Liu: "Hi, take it, take it, worthless stone."
"This was picked up by the old man in the wild and said it was a meteorite. I liked it back then so much, I always kept it in my hand."
"It's been more than ten years." Grandma Liu fell into recollection of her husband.
"Thank you, Grandma Liu." Xia Tian said thank you, and then took the box.
With Grandma Liu's feelings for Xia Tian's brother and sister as grandchildren, killing them? What a joke.
Just come here.
Xia Tian: [Xirui, if you want to get something, it’s not just to grab this path.]
Xirui: [System Self-learning...]

After noon, I went to the street in summer, bought a lot of fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, oranges, etc., and then returned home.
"I have picked the little girl's loquats and don't give her any supplements. The little girl will not cry to death?" Xia Tian thought.
Put the fruit in the kitchen, return to his room in summer, lock the door, and wait for Siri to upgrade, and his heart is full of expectations.
【Running Yuqing Nine Turns.】
Sitting down in summer, sitting cross-legged, palms facing the sky, breathing and exercising, and practicing the exercises.
【Absorb plant carcasses.】
Put your hands on a pile of loquats in summer.
A red light flashed, and the loquat transformed into a corrugated energy stream at a speed visible to the naked eye, and entered the mind along the palms and meridians.
Xia Tian was speechless about this technique: "Is this going towards the Demonic Patriarch forever?"
Of course, Xia Tian also knows that this effect requires the combination of [Jade Nine Turns] and Xirui to achieve this effect.
Neither alone nor Xirui alone has this ability.
Moreover, the energy absorbed by this technique can only be used by Xirui, and Xia Tian himself cannot absorb it.
Otherwise, if you go to a pig farm a few nights in summer, wouldn’t you become a peerless master?
【Absorb the main substance.】
In summer, I put my hands on a larger round stone.
The same effect, after a while, the stone disappeared.
Three hours later.
【Ding! System repair failed, upgrade failed, insufficient energy, insufficient energy.】
Xia Tian sighed. This is something that cannot be forced, and the fate has not arrived.
After packing up his slightly depressed mood, Xia Tian opened the door and came to the yard.
"Since you can't force it, then do something you should do now." Xia Tian thought.
—————————————————
The yard is particularly lively tonight.
Due to a heavy rain last night, today's weather is rare and refreshing in this hot summer.
The neighbors all came to the yard, drinking tea and chatting. The children sat in line on the benches.
"Xiaotian, come and eat watermelon."
The person who greeted Uncle Cao's wife, Sister Wei.
It sounds like the age is a bit wrong, because Sister Wei is not much older than Xia Tian, and is nearly twenty years younger than Uncle Cao.
"Thank you Sister Wei."
Xia Tian walked over, took the watermelon, touched Xiaoyi's little head, and sat next to her sister.
Xiaoyi didn't even notice his brother's arrival because he was fascinated by listening to Uncle Cao's story.
Like her, there were five or six children sitting on the long benches, exclaiming "Wow" while listening.
"Last time I talked about Master Han from our Qingyun Sect,"
Uncle Cao faced a group of dolls and said that he was talking about the flying mouth.
"After thousands of years of cultivation, I finally ascended to the fairy world. When I arrived at the fairy world, it turned out that there was a higher realm like the Golden Immortal Jade Immortal."
"What should I do? Keep practicing."
"Who knew that when he practiced this time, when he opened his eyes, three hundred years passed and he found himself turning into a stone."
"Wow!"
Xiaoyi and the children were amazed.
"What's wrong with this? Is this endless?"
Uncle Cao's speech was rising and he accidentally revealed the Jiliao dialect.
"I, Master Han, are not ordinary people, but I am called an old demon. I have such a firm mind. I have become a stone, so let's continue to practice."
"In a blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed again,"
"One month of stars is sparse and cloudless night. There was a loud bang, and the stone exploded, and Master Han jumped out of the crack of the stone!"
Uncle Cao was very excited when he spoke, and the children were amazed.
"After Master Han came out, he put on a haystack in his hand and looked around: Where is this?"
"I only saw groups of little monkeys jumping around, a big flag waving in the wind, with three big words written on it: [Huaguoshan]!"
As soon as Uncle Cao finished speaking, a loud bang came!
"Boom, bang!"
Thunder rolls.
Uncle Cao suddenly looked at the sky, his face as if it was earthy.
In summer, you are happy with your appearance.
[Ding! Energy overflow, energy overflow, system has been upgraded! System has been upgraded!]
Xiri's voice came from his mind.
Chapter completed!
