I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 44 Xuanshuisha (asking for monthly ticket)
When they reached the end of the pomegranate grove, a vast mirror-like lake came into view.

The morning mist floats on the water, and the shadows of the mountains are immersed in the bottom of the lake, a gray-green color. Occasionally, egrets fly over the water, and their cries break the silence of the mountains.

Hua Gu discovered that there were many clouds of different sizes on the lake, and immediately flew forward to look at them curiously.

Those were all storm monsters, about fourteen or fifteen in number, each living in one place and not disturbing each other.

Hua Gu: (^o^)Hoohoo!

Mist Demon: –_–
Hua Gu looked left and right, exhaled and greeted everyone one by one.

Compared with the agility of Hua Gu, those clouds are very dull, hanging over the lake and moving with the wind, as if they have no soul.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Hua Gu crashed into a larger cloud and then suddenly emerged.

Hua Gu: (^o^)Hoohoo!

The Lan monster twisted its body to look at the holes on its body, then floated away silently.

Xuan Hui stood by the lake with his arms folded. "See? This is the state of a normal mist demon. Slow to react, not very intelligent, and not very ambitious. They just like to float in the wind where there's plenty of moisture. Their only advantage is that they're obedient and will do whatever they're told."

Jiang Yi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xuan Hui fell in love with Hua Gu at first sight. It seemed that Xuan Hui was as extraordinary as Hua Gu back then, which was why he was favored by Master Dan Xi.

"Let it come over." Xuan Hui said.

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and Hua Gu immediately flew back and bumped into Jiang Yi's arms, being affectionate and well-behaved.

Xuan Hui raised his hands with his fingers together, and a flash of light appeared on his fingertips. Just as he was about to point it at Hua Gu, he suddenly found that Jiang Yi frowned slightly, and his body was tense in a defensive posture.

Xuan Hui paused and explained, "Judging from your expression, you certainly don't know when or where it was born. I will trigger its memory of birth, just that moment."

After getting Xuan Hui's assurance, Jiang Yi relaxed his body and pushed Hua Gu in front of Xuan Hui.

Xuan Hui pointed his two fingers at Hua Gu, and the spiritual light in Hua Gu's demon seed flashed, turning into wisps of clouds and mist that rose into the sky, forming light and shadow in front of the two people.

In the light and shadow, the dark sky was torn apart by green thunder, and a long-tailed green bird spread its wings across the sky. The thunder was like a silver whip, lashing the body of the long-tailed green bird crazily.

Until the ninth thunderbolt struck, the long-tailed blue bird let out a clear cry and rushed into the calamity cloud.

The thunderclouds dispersed and heavy rain poured down.

A drop of rain pulled the line of sight and fell into the unnoticed crack of the cliff. The remaining power of the heavenly calamity was swept by the strong wind, and the rain, clouds and lightning were rolled into a ball. The weak electric light kept wandering in the fog. After an unknown amount of time, a gray-white seed condensed in the rain and fog.

With a crackling sound, the gray-white seed had just taken shape when it was split by the lightning, leaving a crack.

But it was this flash of lightning that activated the demon species and gave birth to the spirit in the rain and fog.

The newly born little mist demon tentatively swayed its body, shaking off the raindrops. It emerged from the cracks of the cliff, leaping freely in the pouring mountain stream. It surveyed its surroundings with ignorant curiosity. Its demonic form recorded the trajectory of the rain, slowly forming the mark of its magical dew...

Xuan Hui waved his sleeves to disperse the mist of light and shadow above Hua Gu's head, keeping his promise and not looking any further.

"It was actually born from the Cloud Bird's Golden Core Thunder Tribulation. This bird is of the wind, and the tribulation thunder is the Xunfeng Ganglei. It also rained heavily, and the wind, rain, thunder and lightning all gathered together. It is very difficult to decide which path to take in the future. If I can avoid the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, one day, I may become a terrifying existence comparable to the heavenly tribulation."

Xuan Hui held his chin in his hand and thought, but did not ask Hua Gu about the incident of the demon seed being broken. Either he had overlooked it, or he had imagined it himself.

Jiang Yi pinched Hua Gu in his arms. No wonder Hua Gu could comprehend the falling thunder on her own, quickly master the few little tricks of using Gan Lin, and prefer wind blades against the enemy. It turned out that all these were related to the time of her birth.

Becoming Golden Crow Fire Mist (×)
Become a calamity (√)

Xuan Hui lowered his hand. "After all, you are the master of this little creature. It's better for you to decide its future path. The most important thing right now is to break through the limitations of the mortal level."

"Its demon species is born with a flaw. I don't know how it will be repaired in the end, but this congenital defect will definitely affect its path to advancement to the Yellow Level. It doesn't matter if you fail. Try as many times as you can and don't give up easily."

Jiang Yi nodded, "I will do my best."

Xuan Hui took something out of his sleeve and placed it in front of Jiang Yi.

It was a piece of light gauze that was as soft as water waves and had a faint silver-scale glow.

A gentle breeze stirs up the waves, and stars scatter across the river. This is the first feeling this thing gives Jiang Yi.

"This is Xuanshuisha, a top-grade magic weapon that I used in the past. I just looked for it casually and didn't expect it to be still there. I'll give it to this little guy." Xuan Hui would not tell Jiang Yi that he found it three days ago after searching through all the boxes and drawers and was covered in dust all night. His house is still a mess now.

"Thank you sorcerer!"

Jiang Yi lowered his posture and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Mysterious Water Silk has three abilities. The first, 'Cang Lan,' increases the power of all of the little guy's water spells by 30%. Take the little guy's current mastery-level water arrows, for example. With the help of 'Cang Lan,' he can fire about four more at a time. If he concentrates all his strength on a single water arrow, even the best defensive magic weapon can be penetrated."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly. This was indeed a good idea. In the future, when the water arrow technique was upgraded from the proficient level to the minor success level, it might be effective in sneak attacks on cultivators in the early stages of foundation building.

"The second level of ability is called 'Layered Waves'. The Mysterious Water Yarn spreads out layers of water curtains to protect itself from damage, especially fire spells. With full power, it can block three or four attacks from even a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. However, the Mysterious Water Yarn will inevitably be damaged and unusable for a short period of time. It will need to be repaired with Hundred-Year-Old Ice Silkworm Silk and Mysterious Yin True Water."

"The third ability is called 'Water Prison'. As the name suggests, it uses water to create a prison, forming a powerful vacuum vortex inside, suffocating the enemy and disrupting their spiritual energy, making them unable to resist. How long it can trap the enemy depends on how long the little guy's spiritual power can sustain. You have a spell that can restore essence, so I think using it together with you will make the Water Prison work wonders."

"I once added 'Water Blade' to the water dungeon. You can imagine the effect. If there's a chance in the future, find a way to teach the little fellow Water Blade. Don't underestimate these low-level spells. Mid- and high-level spells are powerful but consume too much spiritual energy and physical strength. Low-level spells are more flexible and practical."

Xuan Hui gently threw up the Xuan Shui Sha. Jiang Yi had already communicated with Hua Gu, and Hua Gu did not resist. She let the Xuan Shui Sha cover her body, slowly blending into her body, and finally wrapping around the monster species.

The cold breath on the black water gauze made Hua Gu shiver. The originally white mist gradually began to shimmer. Hua Gu stretched her body and looked left and right, and she liked it very much.

Xuan Hui raised his hand and rubbed Hua Gu. "This way, ordinary fire magic tools and spells will no longer be able to restrain you, giving you an extra ability to protect yourself. Our Lan Yao clan is full of idiots and fools. It's not easy to find two of us who are smart. You must grow up well. If you are unhappy in the future, feel free to come to me and I will take care of it for you."

Hua Gu felt Xuan Hui's concern for her, so she flew in front of Xuan Hui, rubbed his face very gently and quickly, then flew behind Jiang Yi's shoulder and hid shyly.

"Hahaha, interesting little fellow." Xuan Hui laughed heartily. "Actually, I have a copy of the Xuan-grade intermediate-level technique, 'Wind and Thunder Transformation', which is very suitable for the little fellow to practice. Unfortunately, it has to wait until it reaches the Yellow level. I'll give it to you then."

"Friend Jiang, I get along very well with this little fellow. For his sake, please make me a promise. I can help you do something without violating my Dao Heart."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi raised his hand and swore.

"Junior Jiang Yi swears today with his Daoist heart that if my path to immortality is ever cut off or my lifespan ends, I will terminate the contract before I die and set Hua Gu free."

If she was killed instantly, there would be no time to undo it, so there would be no need to say anything.

Rumbling--

Heaven responded, and the oath was established.

Xuan Hui was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Yi to be so insightful and smart and see through his intentions.

This was not a difficult issue for Jiang Yi. If she was really going to die, she naturally hoped that Hua Gu could continue to live.

Xuan Hui nodded. It was very difficult for a demon spirit to survive alone outside. Having someone to protect and practice with was the best choice.

His master is planning big things, and there are many difficulties and obstacles in the future. He doesn't have enough energy to take care of the little guy.

If he follows him, the little guy will lack the necessary experience.

From the current perspective, Jiang Yi is smart and calm. He has won forty consecutive games while defending his title. He is very capable of defeating strong opponents with weak ones. Apart from being too lazy, he seems to have no other problems.

Besides, the little guy likes her very much and can trust her wholeheartedly, and the successful fusion of spells is proof of that.

Xuan Hui was willing to respect Hua Gu's choice because he had also chosen his own True Lord and had not made the wrong choice.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do for you? Or what do you want?"

"Not yet, we'll talk about it when we have one."

Jiang Yi can handle the things around him now, so he doesn't need to be too aggressive in cultivation. There is still a lot of time left, and he can always sleep his way to immortality. It would be a shame to waste the promise of the peak-level Jindan demon master.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll take you out. My Master is meeting with guests, so I can't leave for too long."

On the way out, Jiang Yi asked Xuan Hui in a chatty tone.

"Demon Master, I just saw a female swordsman outside. Is she from the Xuanying Sword Sect?"
