The next morning, Yin Qi finished washing and went to Tao Ying for breakfast. When he approached the main house, he saw Yin Tingxiu rushing to arrive. Unlike last night's casual clothes, today he was wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved robe and a cloud-patterned wooden hairpin on his head. When he walked, his clothes were fluttering, which was quite unparalleled.

The breakfast was rice porridge and steamed buns, accompanied by several side dishes. Yin Qi found that Yin Tingxiu on the opposite side was just drinking a bowl of water, and did not touch any other food.

Tao Ying explained on the side: "Don't worry about your elder brother. From today on, he can only drink some honey water."

Fasting is a way of practicing magic. Yin Qi has also heard of it before. During the fasting period, spiritual disciples could not eat grains and cereals. They should regulate their breathing and regulating their qi, calm their minds and clear their desires, and collect the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen their body and mind.

After the meal, Tao Ying sent the two outside the door. She stopped Yunxiang and asked an older maid to follow Yin Qi. Tingxiu was a boy of the same age.

Yin Qi followed everyone out of the inner courtyard and walked east for a while, then arrived at the entrance of the east courtyard. The gate was closed, and several warriors stood on both sides with expressionless faces, and there were two young men in the same outfit as the Tingxiu and several male servants next to them.

Two teenagers, one is white-faced and the other is tall and strong, namely the second son Yin Tingyun and the third son Yin Tingyue. Although their physical appearances are very different, they are both the biological sons of the second wife.

Seeing the brother and sister coming, Yin Tingyun smiled and nodded, and Yin Tingyue shouted loudly: "Third Brother!" After recognizing Yin Qi, he shouted excitedly: "Fifth Sister, long time no see."

The second and third ladies have always been at odds, and their sons actually have a good relationship.

Yin Qi bowed respectfully, "Hello, and hello, and hello, and hello, and hello, and hello, and hello, and hello, and Yin Qi."

"We finally have a female sorcerer in our Yin family." Yin Tingyun said with a smile.

"Staff? Let's pass Old Man Yi first!" Yin Tingxiu was not optimistic.

"You haven't met Mr. Yi yet?"

"Then you have to be careful!" Seeing Yin Qi shook her head, Yin Tingyue sympathized with her: "This old man is a living king of hell!"

Yin Qi was nervous and was about to ask in detail, but the door opened. She had to follow the three brothers into the door first, while the servants were outside the door.

The four of them went east along the stone road. At first, there were gray-white courtyard walls on both sides, and a tiger was painted every other section. There were shouts and wails from time to time in the yard. Yin Qi knew that this was the Shenhu Hall. She couldn't help but think of Yang Cheng, but she was afraid that she would inevitably encounter him in the future.

Further forward, there is no courtyard on the north side, and a high wall separates the east courtyard from the woods outside. On the south side is a garden, which is also surrounded by high walls, and can only see towering trees and a three-story attic.

The building is called Qingluan Pavilion, and it lives in it with beautiful girls bought from the Yin Mansion. After careful education, when the high-ranking officials from all over the country come to find the essayist, they will use it to show off their skills and sell it at a high price.

After passing Qingluan Pavilion, the terrain gradually grew higher and the stone road turned into stone steps. In contrast to the garden, there is only a high wall on the right side, and a courtyard is built on the left side.

After walking a stone staircase, Yin Tingyun and Yin Tingxiu looked as usual. Yin Qi was just a little panting, but the strongest Yin Tingyue suddenly collapsed aside, "I can't do it anymore. I've already fasted three times this month, and I'm asking us to walk such a long way every day. Second brother, go and tell Mr. Yi that I, Yin Tingyue, are incompetent and don't want to be a magician anymore."

"Don't joke, my mother made an exception to let you eat some peaches and lotus root slices at breakfast, and I can't support you now?"

"I can't compare to you two," Yin Tingyue said with a bit of sourness, "I'm not this material!"

Seeing that he was staying on the ground and not leaving, Yin Tingxiu said nothing, he reached out to help him.

Yin Tingyue laughed and said, "Third Brother, I'm not so easy..." Before he finished speaking, his feet were already off the ground. Yin Qi thought he had stood up, but looked down but found that Yin Tingyue's legs were curled up, still in the posture when he was sitting on the ground. Tingxiu pulled Yin Tingyue in the air and walked forward slowly, like pulling a light flag.

"Stern brother, please let me get down." Yin Tingyue tried to push Yin Tingxiu away, and stretched his legs and planned to return to the ground. Before he could succeed, Yin Tingyun held the other side. Yin Tingyun made a complicated gesture and was muttering something, and Yin Tingyue's movements suddenly became stiff. The two took the opportunity to drag him into the Lingpu Hall.

After entering the door and removing the magic, Yin Tingyue regained his freedom, but he felt sad as if he had entered the underworld.

Yin Tingyun comforted him: "At least you can hold on, and wait until your father comes back before he will give up practicing magic. Otherwise, your mother will have to peel you off."

Yin Tingyue sighed to the sky, "Oh! That's going to have to last another half a month!"

When Yin Qi saw this farce, she felt the difficulty of practicing magic. Even as a spiritual disciple, if she cannot improve during the practice, like Yin Tingyue, she will be eliminated sooner or later.

When they walked to a fork in the road, the brother and sister parted ways. Yin Tingyun and Yin Tingyue went to morning class, while Yin Tingxiu took Yin Qi to Mr. Yi's residence.

"I will meet Mr. Yi later. No matter what he says or does, don't panic, just keep it calm." Yin Tingxiu said as he walked.

Seeing him deliberately reminding him, Yin Qi asked, "Is Mr. Yi very strict?"

"If it's just harsh, it's okay," Yin Tingxiu said with a wry smile. "The key is that he often doesn't talk about human nature and acts strangely, which is the most troublesome thing!"

After saying that, the two of them had arrived at the door. Unlike Yin Qi imagined, Mr. Yi's residence was just a thatched cottage, surrounded by bamboo, the yard was covered with weeds, and the gravel path in the middle was also bumpy. Walking into the yard, I saw a long climb in front of the door sitting a messy, shriveled and thin old man. He was wearing a wrinkled gray robe and playing with a bamboo flute in his hand.

Yin Tingxiu bowed to the old man and said, "Sir, I brought it to you fifth sister."

Mr. Yi didn't raise his head, and pointed to the grass beside him, "Take off his shoes and socks and go inside for a walk."

Yin Qi was puzzled and what did it mean to ask the third brother to do this? Yin Tingxiu did not move, but turned his head and turned his eyes to her. Yin Qi suddenly realized that Mr. Yi was talking about it.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to barefoot in front of the man, since he had come to this point, he had no choice. Yin Qi made up his mind and quickly took off her shoes and socks on the spot, carrying her skirt and walked into the grass more than half a person tall.

Mr. Yi finally raised his head and watched Yin Qi walk through the grass with expressionless face. After walking around, Mr. Yi did not let her wear her shoes and socks, but waved her to stand in front of her.

Yin Qi didn't know what would happen, and she felt a little scared, but when she remembered Yin Tingxiu's instructions, she tried her best to maintain a calm and calm attitude.

Mr. Yi stretched out his hand like a dead branch, and his palm was facing Yin Qi's instep. For a moment, the floating soil stained on Yin Qi's feet began to fly towards his palm. Seeing that it was almost done, he held the soil in his hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, and then said, "Mrs. Third Lady is right. You are indeed a spiritual disciple. But it's already a little too late to start practicing now."

He opened his eyes, stretched out his index finger at Yin Qi, and said, "There are too many students here, and we don't have the energy to teach you slowly. Within a year, you have to practice Qi-controlling techniques to stay here. If you feel that you can't do it, it's better to give up now!"

"Sir, she studied so late, it's too hard for a year, right?" Yin Tingxiu said this to Yin Qi on purpose. He hoped that Yin Qi could give up, otherwise she would suffer for a year without saying it.

But for Yin Qi, the most urgent task is to let Tao Ying see her usefulness, otherwise she would be afraid that she would lose her protection immediately.

Yin Qi looked up at Mr. Yi and said, "In this world, you must try your best to talk about the word "give up". Don't worry, sir, I will do my best this year and will never let you down."

Yin Tingxiu looked at Yin Qi in surprise, but he didn't expect that this young girl with a gentle and humble appearance could say such words.

"I'm cultivating you? I think so beautiful!" Mr. Yi knocked on the bench, and a big black bird suddenly rushed out of the house and landed on Mr. Yi's shoulder. Yin Qi was startled and looked carefully and found that it was a starling with shiny feathers and a sturdy body.

"This is A Tao, it will take you to a place where beginners are trained."

"Sir, don't bother A Tao, I will take it..."

"You can't go anywhere!" Mr. Yi suddenly became furious, "You have been practicing Yusheng Technique for three months, and you haven't made any progress yet. You still run to Shenhu Hall. Do you want me to break your legs?"

"I still have morning classes..."

"What morning class is there? The Yin family doesn't expect you to give advice to others. What's the use of learning those things! Today I'll watch you practice. If you don't practice well, you are not allowed to go back to the inner courtyard! Follow me!" Mr. Yi walked angrily behind the house. Yin Tingxiu followed closely with his head down, leaving only Yin Qi, and A Tao stood in the courtyard with one person and one bird.

"Ga!Ga!" A Tao shouted a few times, but spoke first.

Yin Qi thought that the starling must be quite spiritual when he followed a magician like Mr. Yi. Just as he was waiting to listen to it, A Tao closed his mouth again and stared at a place. Yin Qi looked along its sight and saw that the shoes and socks he took off were still on the ground, and then he remembered that he was still barefoot.

Yin Qi put on her shoes and socks, and as soon as she stood up, A Tao let out a strange cry and spread her wings and flew out of the yard. Yin Qi hurriedly followed.

After A Tao flew for a while, he stopped and waited for Yin Qi. When he saw her follow him, he flew again, and then stopped again, which was considered understanding.

Finally, it flew into a narrow yard and stopped on a willow tree. When entering the door, Yin Qi noticed that there was a wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the yard with the word "man" written on it, and I don't know what it meant.

"Rebirth! Rebirth!" A Tao shouted loudly, and a man came to hear the sound.

The man came to this man in his twenties, looking like a gentle scholar. When he saw Yin Qi standing under the willow tree, he asked, "Since it was escorted by A Tao, then you are Yin Qi, right?"

"It's the little girl."

"Come with me."

Yin Qi was about to follow her, but when she remembered that her starling was still on the tree, she raised her head and said, "Thank you, A Tao."
