Traveling back to ancient times from the Western Han Dynasty

The bird spirit flew into the air, transformed into pink light and merged into Yan Fang's body, leading the spiritual power to wash away the wood evil.

At first, he used the spiritual power of the sparrow spirit to practice on his own. After discovering that the sparrow spirit could be integrated into the spiritual power, Yan Fang began to let the sparrow spirit assist him in his practice, which was equivalent to an auxiliary cultivation device.

His spiritual power originally came from the bird spirit, and they were of the same origin. Although practicing in this way would still cause him to have difficulty in circulating his own spiritual power, it was better than not being able to generate spiritual power at all.

Moreover, he often needs the assistance of bird spirits in casting spells, and his own spiritual power is compatible with the bird spirits, which is not a bad thing in this dangerous prehistoric world.

He did not practice any martial arts. The circulation of spiritual energy only made his body more adaptable to spiritual energy and increased the ability to store spiritual energy in his dantian.

Since entering the [Condensation] and [Cloud Step] states, before leaving Youxiong, Yan Fang was able to breathe in and out a certain amount of vital energy and transform it into spiritual power. It was not much, and a whole day of meditation was not enough to perform the rejuvenation technique once.

The limit of his own spiritual power is that he can only perform the Rejuvenation Spell three times, and he is absolutely unable to summon the Painted Beast. He relies entirely on the support of the Painted Spirit and the money earned from the Moon Dew.

As for the witchcraft system, he did not practice it and just used it as a reference.

Firstly, he had no energy, and secondly, the witch practice conflicted with the spiritual power in his body, which might cause his spiritual power to change, and then he wouldn't even be able to use the rejuvenation technique.

The witchcraft inheritance he obtained was too biased towards the cold and yin, which would damage his physical condition. Moreover, if he wanted to play a greater role, he'd better sign a Taoist contract with ghosts, nightmare demons and the like.

Not to mention whether it can be found or not, even if it is found, the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages.

Therefore, Yan Fang pays more attention to the principles of witchcraft knowledge and the understanding of ghosts and witchcraft passed down by the witches. Although the knowledge summarized by the ancient witches is scattered and unsystematic, it will be beneficial to his future practice and use of magic.

Now Yan Fang used the bird spirit to help wash away the wood evil, while he himself circulated his qi and blood, using the wind evil to strengthen his body in order to increase his physical strength.

This kind of training is both painful and boring, it is just repetitive work. Fortunately, Yan Fang is not an impatient person and can endure the loneliness.

Xuan, Chang, Shi Yuan and others over there also deliberately lowered their voices so as not to disturb him and Qing.

Half an hour passed like this. When he woke up, Shi Yuan was the only one left by the fire, and there was nothing on the large grill above the fire.

"Why are you the only one left?"

Yan Fang asked Shi Yuan who was grilling skewers.

"Hey, deputy captain, how are you? The captain and the others are outside looking at the stars!

Here, I grilled some meat especially for you."

When Shi Yuan saw Yan Fang, her eyes lit up and she handed the barbecue dipped in sauce to Yan Fang.

She learned this grilling method from Yan Fang. She had a good grasp of it originally, but it was her first time to control the heat of the grilled skewers. In addition, her bloodline had not yet awakened and she had not adjusted yet, so she did not grill them well.

The sauce is made from similar ingredients Yan Fang found at the market, some of which are used in witchcraft rituals.

He was not a chef in his previous life, and he didn't know much about dipping sauces, but even such a casual combination was enough to amaze these ancient humans who didn't know how to enjoy food.

Qingdu said that if he used this barbecue method to do business in the tribe, he would definitely make a lot of money.

Fortunately, at that time, the human race was not yet a major race in the world, and the world was broken, so merits were not the kind that would be immediately distributed for any innovation.

Otherwise, Yan Fang, the time traveler, would definitely be targeted by those powerful people.

"Well, it can be considered as temporarily suppressing the wind evil."

Yan Fang took the skewer and looked at it before eating. It was only a little bit burnt. This time, Shi Yuan was finally successful.

"That's progress! Have you been waiting for me to wake up?"

After praising Shi Yuan, Yan Fang started eating the skewers. After taking a bite, his eyes lit up.

"Hmm? Delicious! The meat is so chewy!"

Although the ingredients are not as good as those in later generations, the meat is much better than modern ones and is even better than what he had cooked before.

"I just wanted to show you my cooking skills, and I can eat barbecue even if you're not awake."

"Hehe, although I don't have a clever mind like you, I have eaten more meat than you and have been in the wilderness. I know which beasts' meat is valuable and which beasts' meat is suitable for roasting."

Shi Yuan said this quite complacently.

"Mmmmm! Great!"

Yan Fang nodded in approval, thinking that Shi Yuan’s talent in eating might be maxed out, and it would be a shame if he didn’t become a God of Food in the future.

Thinking of this, Yan Fang thought of Xuan's fatal disaster again. He didn't know if he had harmed this girl by bringing her into the team.

"The hunt has been going smoothly so far. I hope no one will be killed."

Yan Fang prayed silently in his heart. He knew that following Xuan, the destined protagonist, something bad would definitely happen. He only hoped that with his participation, the strength of everyone would be increased, so that there would be fewer casualties in this hunt.

"Well, I'm full."

After a few bites, I felt full.

He didn't exercise much, and his body didn't get much stronger after training. The energy contained in the meat of this ferocious beast was enough for him to digest for a long time.

"Hey! You guys all have such low appetites, that's great, your demon god is really good at planning."

Although Shi Yuan is a foodie, she can't help but envy Yan Fang who can be full with just two bites. If she were like that, she wouldn't have to run around hunting all day.

"If you have a small appetite, you probably won't come out, and if you don't come out you won't be able to eat anything delicious..."

Yan Fang wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and spoke casually.

"It seems so. If I had a small appetite, my mother would have started urging me to get married. That's how my sister was urged by him."

Shi Yuan couldn't help but recall the past and sighed. He didn't know whether he thought food was more important or staying in the small tribe was more important.

"Will your mother also urge you to get married?"

Yan Fang was quite curious about Shi Yuan's mother. From what Shi Yuan said, he knew that she was an intelligent woman who knew the truth.

"My father died early, and she, an ordinary person with no talent for forging or witchcraft, raised me, my sisters, and my brothers."

"Many people in the tribe advised her to remarry, but she insisted, which inevitably led to complaints from the elders."

In this era, some small tribes practice polygamy. When the husband or wife dies, they remarry immediately and continue to reproduce. No one is left alone. This is the mainstream, righteousness, and morality of this era.

Only a large tribe like the Bear Tribe would allow Feng Xuan to raise his daughter alone.

A widow like Shi Yuan's mother who supports her children on her own can be regarded as "unfaithful to women" in this era and is not recognized by the world. Perhaps it is precisely because of her independent personality and the times that she can have such wisdom.

"Life was difficult at home, so she was very active in arranging the marriages for her sisters."

"My brother and I both have a talent for physical training, and she has high expectations for us."

As Shi Yuan spoke, there was no sadness on her face, but self-blame.

"I didn't expect that the more you train, the bigger your appetite becomes. We can't support you in the tribe, right?"

Yan Fang looked at her expression and guessed the result.

Shi Yuan has a stronger black tiger bloodline. Even if she hasn't awakened, she is naturally different from ordinary people.

"Well, the beasts in that area are very weak and there is not enough food for them, so I haven't been back yet."

"When I left, my mother said..."

"Yuan, when I gave birth to you, I saw an immortal flying up to the sky on a kite, so I named you Yuan. I never thought you would actually fly away."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Shi Yuan's eyes.

"This is really..."

"The "Fang" in my name means the four directions of heaven and earth, which means I hope to travel far and wide. What a coincidence."

Yan Fang saw that Shi Yuan seemed a little sad and didn't know how to comfort her, so he thought about changing the subject.

At this time Xuan and Qing returned to the cave and heard this, and they didn't know what had happened.

"Are you discussing names?"

Qing also walked towards them curiously, looked at Xuan and said:

"Xuan, I remember mother said that your name was because you were called 'Xuan' when you were born, right?"

Xuan was confused after hearing this, he didn't even know about this. Yan Fang on the other side also looked at Xuan.

"No way, I only know it means knot, you didn't remember it wrong?"

Xuan had previously told Yan Fang that his name means knot, and he had always believed so.

"When my mother mentioned it, she even jokingly asked if it was the name of your partner in your previous life."

Qing shook his head, and then suddenly realized that this kind of thing should not be told. Aunt Fubao was pregnant for two years before giving birth to Xuan, and was said by the people in the clan to be a demon. It would be even worse if such a thing were to spread again.

"Is that so?"

Xuan is now more open-minded, but when he heard Qing talking about his partner, he couldn't help but think of Yuling. He thought, he had been away for so many days, and he didn't know how Yuling was doing.

However, when Yan Fang heard it, he was thoughtful and felt that this was a clue to explore Xuan's past life.

"Xuan? Is it a name or something, Xuandu, no, it shouldn't be so gay.

If Xuandu is regarded as a place name or even the real name, it is understandable, but Xuandu cannot be Xuanyuan, so, Xuannv? Jiutian Xuannv?"

When hearing the word Xuan, the first thing that comes to mind is Xuandu, which was discussed a long time ago, and then the Nine-Sky Mysterious Woman who was later associated with Xuanyuan.

Suddenly Yan Fang understood something. It seemed that there was some emotional entanglement. Not to mention Xuanyuan’s marriage in later lives, if Xuan and Jiu Tian Xuan Nu were lovers in his previous life, what should Yu Ling do?

"This doesn't seem to have any effect on me. Can I go and find these two great masters in person to help Xuan recover his memories of his past life?"

......

On the other side, in a jade cave.

There are all kinds of exotic flowers and rocks here. The most eye-catching one is the huge white jade stalactite in the center. Below it is a small blue pool covered with moon dew.

A girl with rabbit ears looked at the lake quietly, with a thousand knots in her brows.

"Sister Yuling, what's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded these days?"

"I've heard that the Lishan Taoist sect is very tolerant, so it will be fine even if you refuse."

Yu Shu, a pretty girl wearing a gold-rimmed gauze dress, came over from a distance, thinking that Yu Ling was thinking about what happened in Mount Li.

"I didn't think of refusing."

Yu Ling shook her head upon hearing this and said something that surprised Yu Shu.

Yu Shu was also slightly happy when she heard this.

She and her other sisters are not as talented as Yu Ling, but if Yu Ling is willing to join the Taoist sect, they can go together and take root near the Immortal Gate, which is also a great benefit.

Before, Yuling was unwilling to become their disciple. Although they were disappointed, they couldn't say anything and just went on with their lives as usual. Now that they heard that Yuling was willing, they were naturally happy.

But Yushu was also curious about why Yuling changed her decision.

"Why? Aren't you good friends with that human Xuan? What's going on?"

Yu Shu also liked a human being before, and it was clear that his feelings for Yu Ling were not fake or just for fun.

"Xuan, a person like this must have a bright future. If I stagnate, he will not abandon me in the future. I am also afraid that I will feel inferior."

"People who are together with demons will definitely not be blessed by others."

When Yu Ling talked about Xuan, her eyes were shining, but towards the end, they became a little dim, an expression that Yu Shu had never seen before.

"this......"

Yu Shu was puzzled. Although she also liked humans, she didn't think the human race had any future.

Even if they do not join other sects, they can live for thousands of years by practicing breathing exercises on their own. If they have some chance, at worst they can become demons.

But what Yu Ling meant was that only by joining the Lishan Taoist school could one catch up. Isn't this the way a lover sees Wangshu?

You should know that the Lishan Taoist tradition is rumored to be connected with the ancient and sacred Dou Mu, the mother of all stars, who holds the sun and the moon up to heaven and illuminates the world!

Even if it is just a side sect, I'm afraid it can be compared with those overseas cultivators, such as the Donghua Taoist sect who came here to recruit disciples a few years ago!

"You don't understand."

Yu Ling shook her head. Her vision would never be wrong and the man she valued must be extraordinary.

Moreover, during this period of time, she also knew that talented people had begun to gather around Xuan, and he was recognized by everyone and gradually developed leadership qualities. This was a good start.

Especially that Yan Fang, the look he gave Xuan was strange.

Yu Ling knew that Yan Fang was the first person besides her who could see Xuan’s potential. He was definitely not simple!

She didn't want to leave Xuan and join the Lishan Taoist sect before. It was only after Yan Fang somehow found out about this and tried to persuade her that she made up her mind.

Originally, she should have set out early and brought a few sisters with her, but she still wanted to see Xuan again and wait for him to come back, so she didn't listen to Yan Fang's words about joining the Taoist sect as soon as possible and coming back to help Xuan.

"So what are you thinking about?"

Yu Shu doesn't believe what Xuan can achieve in the future, but she is curious and worried about her sisters.

"Ever since Xuan left, I've been feeling uneasy, fearing that some disaster might befall me."

When Yuling talked about this, a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

She knew that every person with great fortune or power must go through a hardship before becoming successful, and there must be a low point before the fortune flourishes. Xuan should be in this situation now.

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? Aren't the areas that the previous leaders explored before they died? It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Yu Shu and the others are actually over a hundred years old, and they understand the human race and know their customs.

When the deadline approaches, each generation of leaders will explore unknown areas to provide protection for the human race.

During each hunt, the tribe's warriors were actually just exploring the areas opened up by previous generations of leaders.

Although there are risks involved, they are not big. If someone can bring back the corpse of the previous leader, or the special red dust ribbon that records their inherited memories, he can inherit the position of leader.

"Hopefully."

Yuling said this and sighed.

At this time, a girl with rabbit ears came in, holding something in her hand, and was about to speak.

Yuling suddenly ran to her and snatched the small bag of cloth from her hand.

“This is Xuan’s hair!”

Yu Ling opened the animal skin, revealing a stone and a tuft of black hair.

"mysterious!"
