As the last wave of attacks landed, the monsters struggled in a frenzy, but were eventually completely defeated by the powerful spiritual energy, turning into bursts of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
The monks around cheered, as if they had finally seen light after a long period of darkness.
"We won!" Jiang Qiong's voice rang out on the battlefield, his heart filled with incomparable relief and sense of accomplishment.
He turned and looked at the monks around him, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, everyone's efforts have not been in vain!"
The city lord also came forward at this time, patted Jiang Qiong on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "You did a good job, Jiang Qiong. It was you who led everyone out of this crisis."
Jiang Qiong smiled slightly, but she knew in her heart that true victory was the result of everyone's joint efforts.
As the black smoke dissipated, calm gradually returned to the battlefield.
Jiang Qiong stood on a high place, overlooking the land that was once ravaged by monsters, and felt a surge of pride and emotion in his heart.
He knew that this battle was not only a test of strength, but also a verification of unity and belief.
"Everyone, come quickly! We want to celebrate this victory!" The city lord's voice broke the silence, and then the surrounding monks cheered, with smiles on their faces, as if the fear and despair they had just experienced were forgotten.
The city lord led everyone back to the city and prepared a grand banquet.
The banquet was held in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, which was decorated with colorful spiritual flowers all around and filled with spiritual energy, making one feel as if they were in a fairyland.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious food, all cooked with magical herbs. They were colorful, fragrant and delicious, and made people salivate.
"This time, the wine is specially brewed with thousand-year-old elixir. A sip of it can make people feel refreshed!" The city lord greeted everyone while raising his glass, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Qiong picked up the wine glass and sipped it carefully. As expected, he felt a warm spiritual energy flowing through his body, as if it had injected new strength into him.
He looked around and found that not only the monks in the city, but also the immortals from various sects had come. Everyone gathered together to celebrate this hard-earned victory.
The Giant Stonemen from the world of immortal cultivation were also invited to the banquet. They were huge and strong, with skin as hard as rock, and it seemed as if the earth was shaking when they danced.
The dance of the stone people was rough and powerful, accompanied by the low sound of drums, which added a shocking atmosphere to the banquet.
"Look! That's the chief of the Stoneman tribe. His dance is so magnificent!" exclaimed a monk, staring at the stage intently.
Jiang Qiong was also attracted. He had never seen such a spectacular dance.
The dancing posture of the stone people is as steady as the mountains, as if expressing their awe of the earth and praise of life.
As the dance progressed, the spiritual energy around them became thicker and thicker, as if even the air was vibrating.
At the banquet, everyone raised their glasses and congratulated each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
Jiang Qiong and the city lord smiled at each other, knowing in their hearts that this was not just a celebration, but also an expectation and vision for the future.
"Jiang Qiong, how should we deal with the next challenge?" the city lord suddenly asked, with a serious look in his eyes.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and realized that this victory was just the beginning and the road ahead would still be long and difficult.
He looked up at the starry sky and made up his mind: "We must continue to unite and strengthen our strength. We must never let such a crisis come again!"
“Yes, there will be more challenges in the future, but as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome everything!”
The city lord's voice was firm and powerful, and the monks around him nodded one after another, with fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
The banquet was carried out in the midst of laughter and joy. The fairies also began to perform, either singing or playing music. The whole courtyard was as lively as a fairyland.
In this lively atmosphere, Jiang Qiong felt a long-lost warmth and sense of belonging.
"No matter how difficult the future may be, today's victory will be our driving force to move forward!" Jiang Qiong said silently in his heart, raised his glass, celebrated with his friends around him, and looked forward to a brighter future.
As the night deepened and the stars twinkled, the banquet's entertainment continued, but Jiang Qiong had already secretly set a new goal in her heart.
He knew that true practice was not only about improving one's strength, but also about spiritual growth and team cohesion.
"Tomorrow, I will gather everyone together to discuss future plans." Jiang Qiong said to the monks around him, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Okay! We will do our best!" Everyone responded in unison, full of confidence.
Under this starry sky, Jiang Qiong felt an invisible force gathering, as if the entire world of immortal cultivation was cheering for their future.
As the celebration of the banquet gradually came to an end, the city lord took Jiang Qiong out of the courtyard and slowly walked towards a magnificent residence.
This house is located on the left side of the City Lord's Mansion and is surrounded by lush spiritual trees. The swaying shadows of the trees seem to add a touch of vitality to this quiet space.
The exterior of the house is mainly made of bluestone, with exquisite carvings of spiritual beasts, as if telling an ancient legend.
There is a pair of stone lions on each side of the door, majestic and solemn, guarding this tranquility.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a spacious hall comes into view. The surrounding walls are decorated with spiritual wood, exuding a faint spiritual aura that makes people feel peaceful.
In the center of the hall stands a huge spiritual stone table, inlaid with colorful spiritual flowers that exude a faint fragrance.
Next to the table are several exquisitely carved spiritual wood chairs with flying spiritual birds carved on the backs, as if welcoming everyone who comes here.
At the top of the hall is a huge crystal chandelier, the light refracts through the crystal, illuminating the entire space with colorful rays of light.
Jiang Qiong was shocked by the beauty of the house. The city lord smiled and said, "This place is specially prepared for you. I hope you can practice here with peace of mind."
Jiang Qiong nodded gratefully, her heart filled with warmth.
As night fell, Jiang Qiong began his practice in this quiet residence.
He sat cross-legged in the middle of the hall, closed his eyes, and silently recited the mantra of cultivation in his mind.
The spiritual energy flowed slowly in his body, as if blending with the will deep in his soul.
He felt the spiritual energy around him constantly gathering, as if it was helping his practice.
It was late at night and the moonlight shone through the window onto the ground, forming a silvery-white light and shadow.
In this quiet space, Jiang Qiong felt the flow of spiritual energy, and his inner distractions were gradually cleared, and his thoughts became clearer. His cultivation level quietly improved during this night, as if he had found a deeper self in this space.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning poured into the room through the window, waking up the sleeping Jiang Qiong.
He opened his eyes and felt an unprecedented fresh breath, and his heart was filled with strength.
After a night of practice, his state of mind had changed, and his inner determination and confidence became more pronounced.
Just as he was about to calm down and walk out of the house, he heard a noisy sound outside.
Jiang Qiong walked to the window and saw a caravan slowly driving into the city. The neighing of horses and the chatting and laughing of merchants in the caravan were intertwined, making the city seem particularly lively.
The caravan's carriages were filled with all kinds of elixirs, spiritual tools, and rare cultivation materials, which were colorful and dazzling.
The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a burly build and a resolute face. He rode on a horse with a confident look on his face. From time to time, he communicated with the monks around him and seemed quite friendly.
Jiang Qiong had an idea and decided to go down and take a look at this group of businessmen.
He put on simple monk's clothes, walked out of the house, and headed towards the market in the morning light.
As he approached, the atmosphere in the caravan became more and more lively, with merchants showing off their goods to each other and vying to sell them.
"This is an elixir that's thousands of years old. It's extremely effective and a must-have for practitioners!" A businessman shouted, holding a bottle of elixir emitting green light in his hand.
"Our spiritual weapons have been forged over thousands of years and are absolutely trustworthy!"
Another merchant displayed a sword that was shining with spiritual light. The sword was carved with complex spiritual patterns and looked extremely exquisite.
Jiang Qiong observed carefully from the side, thinking to himself that perhaps he could take this opportunity to purchase some spiritual medicines and materials to prepare for the next practice.
He walked towards the stalls, ready to communicate with the merchants.
At this time, the city lord also came over and greeted Jiang Qiong with a smile: "Good morning, Jiang Qiong! Today's caravan is the most prestigious in our city. The goods they brought are all top-notch and worth seeing."
"Yes, I was planning to go and take a look." Jiang Qiong responded, with anticipation gleaming in her eyes.
The two walked towards the market together. The surrounding monks gathered around them and communicated enthusiastically with the merchants, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Jiang Qiong understood that this was not only a transaction, but also an opportunity for communication and cooperation. He was determined to continue practicing hard on this land and meet future challenges.
Jiang Qiong moved among the crowd, his eyes constantly scanning the dazzling array of goods, his heart full of anticipation for his future practice.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a jade pendant emitting a soft luster.
The appearance of the jade pendant is crystal clear, as if it contains thousands of years of spiritual energy. There are delicate and meticulous spiritual patterns carved on the surface, like flowing water waves, giving people a sense of tranquility and depth.
The shape of the jade pendant is a blooming lotus with layered petals just like a real flower. The delicate carving makes you want to touch it.
A small red spirit bead is inlaid in the center of the jade pendant. The spirit bead emits a faint light, as if breathing, adding a touch of spirituality to the entire jade pendant.
Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and she felt that this jade pendant seemed to have some kind of mysterious connection with her, as if it could help her make further progress in her practice.
He walked towards the stall, secretly pondering the value of the jade pendant.
The merchant at the stall saw him stop and immediately came forward with a smile on his face: "My dear brother, are you interested in this jade pendant? It is a treasure of our caravan and is absolutely worth the money!"
"Excuse me, how much is this jade pendant?" Jiang Qiong asked, but he was secretly estimating the amount of spirit stones he had in his heart.
"This jade pendant is worth three hundred spirit stones. It is definitely a treasure for practitioners!" the businessman said confidently, with a shrewd light in his eyes.
"Three hundred spirit stones?" Jiang Qiong was shocked. Although the jade pendant was indeed beautiful, he did not intend to spend too much.
He frowned slightly and pretended to be in deep thought: "Isn't this price a bit high? I think its spiritual energy is just so so."
Seeing this, the merchant hurriedly said, "Little brother, this is made of a thousand-year-old spiritual stone. It has a strong spiritual energy and is definitely not comparable to ordinary jade pendants! Besides, you will make a profit if you buy it. You must think carefully!"
Jiang Qiong's heart moved. Although the number of spirit stones was not large, he did not want to give up this jade pendant easily.
He smiled slightly and said slowly: "If I offer a hundred spirit stones, would you be willing to sell it?"
The merchant was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "One hundred spirit stones? This is too low, are you kidding? I can't lose money!"
"If I don't buy it, no one else will pay this price for this jade pendant." Jiang Qiong responded calmly with a firm look in his eyes.
After several rounds of bargaining, the merchant was finally moved by Jiang Qiong's persistence. Although he was reluctant, he compromised: "Okay, since you insist so much, I will sell it to you for one hundred spirit stones, but this is my bottom line!"
Jiang Qiong was delighted and immediately took out the spirit stone from his arms and handed it to the merchant. He then carefully put away the jade pendant with a happy face.
Afraid of damaging this treasure, he gently placed it in his arms and turned to walk towards the house.
After returning home, Jiang Qiong couldn't wait to take out the jade pendant, put it on the spirit stone table, and looked at it carefully.
The sunlight shines through the window onto the jade pendant, refracting colorful light, as if adding a layer of mystery to this treasure.
He was filled with curiosity and decided to use his spiritual consciousness to explore the secrets of the jade pendant. He closed his eyes, and with a thought, his spiritual consciousness slowly seeped into the jade pendant like a trickle of water.
As his spiritual awareness deepened, Jiang Qiong felt a warm breath, as if it was communicating with him.
At this moment, his spiritual consciousness suddenly touched a subtle fluctuation. He was shocked and checked carefully. He found a tiny insect egg hidden inside the jade pendant.
The insect eggs were light green in color, had a smooth surface, and emitted a faint aura, as if they contained some kind of power while they were sleeping.
Jiang Qiong thought to herself, what exactly are these insect eggs? Could they be the eggs of some spiritual beast?
He continued to push his spiritual sense deeper, wanting to explore more information, but found that the insect eggs seemed to react to his spiritual sense, trembling slightly, as if they sensed his presence.
In an instant, a strange feeling surged in Jiang Qiong's heart, as if the insect eggs had established some kind of connection between him and him.
"Could this insect egg be my opportunity?" Jiang Qiong thought to himself, his heart full of anticipation and doubt.
He knew that the future path of cultivation was full of unknowns, and this jade pendant and insect eggs might become the key for him to explore higher realms.
He carefully placed the jade pendant back on the table, and made up his mind: "Whatever secrets this insect egg holds, I will do my best to find them. In the future, I will never give up any opportunity!" (End of this chapter)
