The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 53: Unite With Nature

Further practicing, Yang Jian closed his eyes, Yang Jian was able to see the surging waves of energy. Slowly he began to feel the presence of the three beings who became friends and followers.

The beings had different energies, Yang Jian saw an extremely powerful energy with a rather dense color. Yang Jian was convinced that it was a radiance of dragon energy.

'Unite with nature! Maybe this is what my father meant at the time.' Thought Yang Jian.

Suddenly Yang Jian's feelings began to be alarmed, he sharpened his instincts to find out what threat was about to approach him.

Yang Jian started to feel a cold energy coming towards him.

Still with his eyes closed, Yang Jian vaguely saw a red-colored energy speeding fiercely towards him. Yang Jian was certain, it was the cold energy he felt before.

Yang Jian clasped tightly onto his sword, pouring qi into the sword. A second later Yang Jian struck the red energy using his sword.

"outside"

Yang Jian retreated two steps due to the powerful energy boost.

'Strong.' Yang Jian murmured, he admitted the energy he was throwing at just now was very strong, if Yang Jian received that energy, perhaps Yang Jian had already vomited blood this time.

"A little stronger."

The heavy voice resuscitated Yang Jian from his daydream, he then opened his eyelids and turned to the source of the voice.

"That's what you're doing, dragon?"

"Your physics is stronger than the first time we met. And you're getting better too. Well, even though it can't be considered great."

Yang Jian smiled, this was the first time the dragon had admitted it. Yang Jian grew more confident and determined that he would get stronger to realize his dream.

"There's still a lot to fix. Facing death twice made me realize how weak I was. I just don't want to depend on anyone. Only we can be trusted to help our lives."

Yang Jian kept back his book and wooden sword. Then Yang Jian entered his residence, Yang Jian's residence was quite simple. Yang Jian deliberately made his residence exactly the same as his residence with Xiao Ming in the Valley of Hell.

Inside Yang Jian's residence was a small pond that could only accommodate one person to soak in. It is shaped like a bowl where the middle is deeper than the edge.

It turned out that Yang Jian had deliberately made a pond with the water he had brought from the Valley of Hell. Since Yang Jian carried such water in a limited amount, Yang Jian could only create a pond with a small size.

After taking off all his clothes, Yang Jian entered the pond and began to sit on the stone to meditate. Slowly Yang Jian started to feel pure qi energy start to enter his body until it gathered in his dantian.

"Yi'er's condition has not recovered yet, please don't make big brother anxious. Wait a minute here brother will be back soon."

Jiji tried to persuade Yiyi to stay in the hut, she did not want Yiyi to follow him to work in a sick condition.

"Understand Yi'er, brother must go and work for our dinner."

"Alright, but take good care of your brother. There's no need to do hard work or I'll be mad at you."

"No promise."

Not waiting for a long time, Jiji finally left the hut towards the village chief's house.

"Have you come, son?" an old grandmother approached Jiji when she saw him coming.

"Grandfather, am I late?"

"Oh no, come here we just started working."

Jiji followed the grandmother into the village chief's residence through the back door to the backyard.

" Who is this child grandmother Po, why are you picking up beggars into the village chief's residence. You know what Miss Jing's character is, you could get fired if she knew you were carrying this child."

Another old woman looked at Jiji with a troubled look.

"He's Jiji, he's just helping us to clear Miss Jing's gift."

"Help us? Do you think our paychecks are big enough that they can be shared with someone else?" snapped the woman did not accept to invite other working women who were washing clothes as well.

"Right Grandma Po, we only get a small salary, do you intend to split it?" one of the women workers said.

"You guys take it easy, I'm not gonna cut your pay. I'll give him my share. So please don't tell her to Miss Jing."

Jiji who feels guilty to see Grandma Po being cornered by it gets sadder when he hears that Grandma is willing to give her share for Jiji.

Jiji looked at Grandma Po while shaking his head. No matter how difficult he may be, he will never take the rights of others.

"It's okay, son, work well. Grandma still has other savings so you don't have to feel guilty like that."

Hearing that Jiji had no other choice, finding a job was extremely difficult as no one would want to hire him with such a small body. While Jiji had to give Yiyi and himself a meal or they would starve to death.

"Who broke my clothes?" a young girl bellowed furiously while holding a white-colored scarf that seemed to tear slightly at the end.

In front of the young woman, five women dressed in waitresses were crying.

"Pardon us Miss Jing, we have neglected to do our duty." Grandma Po replied with her head still faithfully lowered.

"I'm sorry, do you think your apology can return my sling. What your apologies are enough to pay for this damage!"

The waiter! Get me the whip." Jingjing ordered the male servant standing next to her. It did not take long for a whip of a large size and quite long to be in Jingjing's grasp.

"You still don't want to admit who did it?" Jingjing stared one by one the servants before her who were crying in fear. Jingjing then smiled mysteriously.

"Well if you don't want to. I will punish the five of you for trying to deceive this lady."

Jingjing lifted her whip up, then swung the whip preparing to whip her servants one by one. But before the whip actually hit their bodies, a voice stopped Jingjing's movements.

"Wait, wait, miss. I know who did it. He, he is the beggar child that Grandma Po brought this morning. He's the one who broke the lady's precious shawl."

A younger female servant spoke up, she alleged that it was Jijilah who had damaged her shawl.

"Lie lady, Jiji wasn't the culprit. Servant, it is the servant who has ruined the lady's clothes. Just punish me, miss." Grandma Po doesn't accept that Jiji should be punished. He learns that the young woman is trying to make Jiji a shield.
