Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

The hail lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually stopped.

Seeing the gray sky light up, Yun Haiying walked to the yard, picked up a large ladder, and said to Yun Tian: "What are you still standing there for! Come with me to repair the roof."

"Didn't you say that I'm not allowed to leave without your permission?"

"You seem to be very obedient now. I usually ask you to practice diligently, but why don't you listen? Come and help me quickly."

Yuntian's face was full of unhappiness, but he did not dare to disobey Yun Haiying directly. He ran to the ladder, climbed up, and soon reached the roof.

At this time, many people in the village climbed onto the roofs, and it was obvious that it was not only the Yun family whose roofs were damaged.

Yuntian stood on the roof and saw that Yun Haiying had not come up, so he asked, "Mom, why don't you come up?"

"I'll come up, someone will pass you the tile." Yun Haiying threw a tile and it flew upwards and stopped right in front of Yun Tian.

Yuntian stretched out his hand to grab it, but just as he started, a force shook his hand away.

"Use the skill of controlling objects, and don't let your body touch the tiles." said Yun Haiying.

"Mom, I haven't broken through the second level yet!" Yun Tian said.

The next moment, a tile flew onto the roof again, paused slightly above Yuntian's head, and then suddenly fell down.

Yuntian was shocked and quickly raised his sword and used the skill of controlling objects.

His face turned red and he used all his strength to move the tile bit by bit. After a while, he finally stopped the tile on the roof.

However, before he could be happy, tiles flew up from under the eaves again and hit his head from a higher place.

Yuntian was helpless and could only concentrate again and use his object control technique to catch the tile.

After about twenty tiles, Yuntian was already sweating profusely, his whole body was sore, and his magic power was almost exhausted, and he was about to collapse.

"If you relax, all your previous efforts will be wasted. You must hold your breath, squeeze the strength in your muscles, bones, and flesh, and nourish your magic power." The voice of Yun Haiying sounded.

Yuntian was startled and took a deep breath, all the muscles in his body tensed as if they were made of iron.

Before long, his face flushed and his heart began to beat wildly.

"I can't hold it anymore!" Yuntian's eyes were full of stars.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, the spiritual energy that had been integrated into his bones, blood and flesh during his daily training was finally forced out, like a young swallow flying into the forest, and merged into the magic power that was about to collapse.

A sense of transparency spread throughout the body, as if every pore was opened. Out of the most primitive instinct, Yuntian's body constantly tried to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world.

According to conventional cultivation methods, this is the time when spiritual energy enters the body and nourishes new magic power.

But the spiritual energy in this world is too thin and is completely unable to meet the needs of Yuntian's body.

"Hungry! Hungry..." There was only one thought left in Yuntian's mind, as if he had been hungry for ten days or half a month.

Under the eaves, Yun Haiying was overjoyed and quickly jumped onto the roof. He stuffed a pill into Yun Tian's mouth and said, "Just focus on transforming the pill and don't be distracted."

As the pill entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into pure spiritual power, barely able to keep up with Yuntian's absorption speed.

After nearly half an hour, a more condensed magical power was finally born in Yuntian's body, although it was extremely weak and seemed like it would dissipate at any time.

"Mom, have I made a breakthrough? Why do I feel weaker than the first level of Qi training?" Yun Tian opened his eyes and looked at Yun Haiying curiously.

"That's normal. You just used up all your mana, and it won't recover just because of a breakthrough. You need to recover slowly."

"Then... I can't use the skill of controlling objects anymore!" Yuntian smiled happily.

Yun Hai sneered and said, "It is impossible to use it, but after the promotion, you need to exercise more, so... you go down and pass the tiles!"

Yuntian's face darkened instantly, and he said, "Mom, don't you have any gifts for my breakthrough? A small reward will be ok, right?"

"Yes, breakthrough is the best gift!"

"..."

The two men worked for an entire afternoon and finally finished repairing the roof. As night was approaching, the sound of bells suddenly came from the direction of the ancestral hall.

Yun Haiying was not surprised at all. He dusted off his hands and said, "You are also a Qi training level 2 cultivator now. Take good care of your family."

"Mom, don't worry. It's not a snake disaster, so why be afraid!" A bit of determination appeared on Yuntian's young face.

As the two were talking, Ouyang Jiaren suddenly came out of the room and said, "Xiaotian, help Dad light the fire and cook!"

Although Yun Tian had the help of the elixir just now, he was still hungry, so he said, "Dad, I have made a breakthrough. Should we cook some meat tonight to celebrate?"

The two of them talked as they walked and soon went into the kitchen.

When Yun Haiying saw the two of them enter the kitchen, she went back to her room to change her clothes, then went out and headed straight for the ancestral hall.

As soon as he arrived at the main street, he saw many acquaintances, all of whom were talking in low voices as they walked.

"But please don't let it have anything to do with Xue'er!" Yun Haiying frowned and followed the crowd.

A moment later, at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

From a distance, people in the ancestral hall could hear people talking about it: "This hailstorm has destroyed half of my house. How unlucky!"

"It's winter, and there's hail this big. Someone must have done something immoral and angered the witch god."

"I think the snake plague is not far away!"

Yun Haiying frowned when he heard this. He said nothing, entered the ancestral hall, and went straight to the front rows of benches.

Those sitting there were all cultivators at the fifth level of Qi training. They were basically the heads of each family and the people with the most say in the village.

In front of them, there were ten armchairs, placed two by two opposite each other, but no one was sitting on them at this time.

Above the ten armchairs was an exquisitely carved Luohan bed, with a simple futon in the middle.

Behind it, there is a two-person-high pine and crane screen, which blocks everything behind it and makes it impossible to get a glimpse of anything.

After a while, ten old men with white hair walked out from behind the screen.

Among the ten old men, nine were old women, whose realm was at the sixth level of Qi training, and the last one was an old man, whose realm was actually at the seventh level of Qi training.

The ten old men took their seats one by one, and the old man with the highest realm sat at the very end.

After all ten people were seated, an old woman stood up, put her hand down, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment."

The ancestral hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked forward.

At this time, the old woman sitting at the first seat on the left just stood up and coughed, saying, "I called everyone here. Needless to say, everyone should know why. This is just the beginning. No one knows what will happen next. After all, it has been fifteen years since the last snake disaster."

In the ancestral hall, the faces of more than 200 people all tensed and their expressions became extremely solemn.

The old woman sighed and continued, "There are now more than a thousand people in our village. Everyone knows what this means. In the short term, don't think about having children. Wait until we, the useless ones, go up the mountain."
