I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 114 Five People Gathering (Leader of the Lazy Cat +3)

No one can fool Zhao Cangyun's nose. After the senior sister showed him the wooden sign and the fire sign last night, he felt like he had smelled the smell somewhere before.

After a sleepless night, he finally remembered that Shang Shixu had this smell on his body.

So Zhao Cangyun went to find Shang Shixu early in the morning, and happened to learn from Shang Shixu that he had told Master Longri about his own affairs, and Master Longri was willing to cover for him.

From then on, the five people who had dinner together and stayed up all night on New Year's Eve all had their own masters and became the direct disciples of the three Yuanying Zhenjun of Cang Ling Sect.

Shang Shixu was not angry when Zhao Cangyun snatched his chopsticks away. He still maintained his composure and slowly wiped the juice off his face and wiped his hands clean. Then he took out a silver metal sign from the storage bag and handed it to Jiang Yi with both hands.

"what?"

Shen Puning's cheeks puffed up as he stood up curiously to look. Xin Wushuang glanced at him, didn't understand, and continued to eat.

After Jiang Yi confirmed that everything was correct, he glanced at the people sitting at the table. Coincidentally, there were exactly five of them.

It was already past lunch time in the dining hall and there was no one else in the hall. To be on the safe side, Jiang Yi set up a tortoise shell formation to seal off their table.

She took out the two badges on her body and gave them to Shang Shixu and Shen Puning for inspection.

"This was found in the secret realm of Xuandu Mountain. Hua Gu took me to see it from above Taoyuan. The entire Taoyuan is a five-element formation. To open the hidden Qingdi Palace, you need five people and five plaques. We already have three of them."

Shen Puning and a few others looked at each other and knew that Jiang Yi shared this secret. Shang Shixu took out the sign he found, which meant that everyone should cooperate.

Shen Puning didn't act pretentiously and nodded immediately, "Okay, Wushuang and I will pay close attention when we go to the secret realm later. We're still short of water and earth cards, right?"

Shang Shixu added, "I found this plaque in the Baixu Mine, so the other two should also be in the corresponding Water Palace and Central Peach Blossom Land."

Jiang Yi's expression was solemn. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to find. Puning, you and Wushuang should focus on searching the Water Palace. Peach Blossom Land is a special place, so let Zhao Cangyun go there."

Zhao Cangyun was looking back and forth at them talking when he was suddenly called. He immediately responded, "No problem, Taoyuan is nothing to me!"

He didn't know yet that Jiang Yi asked her to go to Taoyuan because he knew that he was a little Qilin and was not afraid of attacks from the peach wood spirit and the dream tapir.

He just thought that the senior sister started to respect him because he did a good job and gave him the most difficult task.

Senior Sister is really... so heartwarming!
Shang Shixu picked up his chopsticks again and said, "I'll help you look for it, but the Qingdi Palace must have been the palace of a powerful person from ancient times. Isn't it too risky for just a few of us?"

Jiang Yi pondered, "It's indeed very risky, so while we're looking for the sign, everyone should work hard to improve their cultivation and accumulate strength. I think as long as we can all reach the peak of Qi training, have sufficient supplies, and have the demon spirits around us, we might be able to go in and explore."

Jiang Yi had this confidence because of her master. In her master's eyes, the plaque related to the inheritance of the Qingdi Palace was tattered. This meant that when her master was exploring Taoyuan, he could sense that the aura there was not dangerous, so he encouraged her to explore.

The powerful people in ancient times did not have only one cave residence. Perhaps this is one of the palaces of the Green Emperor.

Moreover, the Cang Ling Sect controls two secret realms, Xuandu Mountain and Tengshe Forest. Xuandu Mountain is open to Qi training and foundation building disciples, while Tengshe Forest is open to foundation building and Jindan Zhenren.

This also indirectly shows that the level of Xuandu Mountain is lower, and those with the strength of the peak of Qi training can easily escape if they are really in danger as long as they are cautious.

She hopes to find all the plates before she reaches the peak of her Qi training. If she can't, she will have to settle for the next best thing and build her foundation at Taoyuan Mirror Lake.

After dinner, Zhao Cangyun went to help Shang Shixu move.

Shang Shixu originally raised many spirit insects in his yard. Those jars could not be put into storage bags and demon spirit bags, and had to be moved by manpower.

The mottled stone steps wind their way into the woods, with sunlight filtering through gaps in the newly green leaves.

Jiang Yi, Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang walked down the stone steps together and went to the Deacon Hall to exchange the magical instruments as assessment rewards.

On the way, she gave two bottles of Broken Miasma Incense to Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang as gifts to congratulate them on becoming her apprentices.

Shen Puning accepted it generously, saying that she was short of money and had nothing to give in return, so she would talk about it next time.

Xin Wushuang blushed and said after a while, "Although Liuyue Peak is far away, I will definitely send you food on time."

puff~
Jiang Yi couldn't help laughing and quickly waved his hand, "No need, Wushuang, I have Hongli to help me cook now."

The Yin-Yang pendant on her waist shook. When Hongli heard what Jiang Yi said, she kicked over the alchemy furnace inside.

"By the way, Yi," Shen Puning took Jiang Yi's arm, "that nursery rhyme you sang to me last time in Taoyuan was so beautiful. Was that the one your mother sang to you?"

The situation in Taoyuan at that time left Shen Puning with a deep impression of the nursery rhyme sung by Jiang Yi, and he even remembered it forever.

Recalling words like "mother" and "daughter" in the nursery rhyme, Shen Puning suddenly realized that she had never heard Jiang Yi mention her family.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly and said, "Yes, that's what my mother sang to me when I was a kid, when she was trying to coax me to sleep."

When she was in her cradle, her mother was a very gentle woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

If she hadn't had that gentle land, how could she have been reborn as a human being and not fallen into depravity? Shen Puning keenly noticed the bitterness in Jiang Yi's eyes and knew she shouldn't ask about this. She quickly changed the subject, looked around, and secretly leaned close to Jiang Yi's ear.

"Ayi, let me tell you a secret, my master... is bald!"

"what?"

Jiang Yi burst out laughing. Actually, she knew about the backlash of Master Huiyuan's enlightenment, but Shen Puning used her master's embarrassing moments to make her laugh. Is this filial piety?

Shen Puning suppressed a laugh and nodded, "My master often attained enlightenment, but because he did so too often, he was attacked by the power of the Heavenly Dao. I don't want to be like him, hahaha."

Xin Wushuang's face was serious. He tugged at Shen Puning's sleeve and said, "You can't talk about Master like that."

Shen Puning took the opportunity to hold Xin Wushuang's arm as well, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. It's wonderful. We first met on this very mountain path, and now we're leaving Lingbo Mountain and going down the mountain together again. I hope that as time passes, we can always be like this."

Passing by a fork in the mountain road, a person came from the lecture hall. It was Li Qingxian, who used to live in the same courtyard with them but later moved away.

One person facing three eyes, Li Qingxian froze there, looking embarrassed, and left with a snort after a moment.

Seeing this, Shen Puning rushed over to stop her, "Li Qingxian, what are you imagining? Don't think that anyone wants to harm you. You were the one who was rude to us before, and now we just met on the road, and you snort, what are you snorting about? Hum!"

Li Qingxian's face flushed, but because the identities of the three of them had changed, she didn't dare to say anything and could only leave with her lips bitten.

"Alright, Puning, on the path of cultivation, there are many people who are destined to be together but not to be together. If you want to walk together, you have to work hard."

"I will try my best." Xin Wushuang said in a deep voice, his tone serious.

“Okay, let’s all work hard!”

……

The three of them went to the Deacon's Hall together to receive the Foundation Establishment Pills and magical instruments as assessment rewards.

Jiang Yi had already received her two foundation-building pills. She did not need the yellow-level demon spirit and yellow-grade skills awarded as assessment rewards, so they were converted into contribution points and included in her identity token together with the contribution points of Yuepo Jadeite.

Jiang Yi looked at the catalog of the top-grade magic weapons as rewards, and after much deliberation, considering the Dream Immortal Sect in the dark, she finally exchanged for the 'Blood Escape Puppet'.

It was a thumb-sized figurine carved from red jade, with blood-colored runes embedded in the joints. It was purchased from the Mo Family Castle, which specialized in making Yanjia puppets. It was a disposable magic weapon made by a Jindan cultivator.

After being refined with one's own blood essence, it will automatically activate when encountering a fatal attack. The puppet will die in its place and spray blood mist to block the view, and the person himself can randomly escape thousands of miles away.

The blood mist contains a deadly bone-corroding poison. Even if a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage is hit, his skin and flesh will fester and it will be difficult to continue the pursuit.

After finishing their various chores and packing up their belongings in the courtyard, the three of them parted ways outside the Lingbo Mountain Disciple Courtyard at dusk.

Jiang Yi was still half lying on Hua Gu, counting on his fingers.

Hua Gu's spiritual spring water, Hong Li's alchemy materials, and his own second-grade spiritual wood are all ready.

I can go back to Yunlu and have a good sleep in seclusion.

Back at the foot of Liuyue Peak, Jiang Yi met Zhao Cangyun who had returned from helping Shang Shixu move.

The senior and junior sisters and apprentice brothers walked together through the maze at the foot of the mountain.

"Big Sister, do you think it's possible that there are more than just the badges we have to enter the Green Emperor Palace?"

Jiang Yi raised her eyebrows. She knew that Zhao Cangyun was pretending to be naive. The little Qilin still had some brains.

"Of course it's possible. I deliberately didn't mention this to everyone, for fear of dampening everyone's enthusiasm."

Zhao Cangyun rubbed his nose and gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist. "It's okay. If the sign falls into someone else's hands, I will snatch it away..."

Zhao Cangyun paused, suddenly stepped forward to protect Jiang Yi, his eyes suddenly cold as he looked towards the pomegranate forest in front.

Jiang Yi's spiritual sense had also detected someone in front of him. It wasn't Xuan Hui, but...

The moon was bright in the sky, the pomegranate blossoms were as red as fire, and a woman in white was walking slowly towards them, her eyes covered with white gauze.

He looked frail, his shoulder bones so thin that they seemed to break easily, but the unsheathed sword in his hand was so cold that even the moonlight shining on his body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

"Are you two the new disciples of True Lord Danxi?"

Jiang Yi's heart was shocked. It was his junior sister Liu Taozhi.

See you tomorrow~
