I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 684 Distributing Equipment (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
For Jiang Yi, the original sword-nurturing gourd was merely a magical treasure that she had tamed.

But at this moment, as she stepped back into the cave world inside the gourd, a strange feeling arose between the Yang spirit in her sea of ​​consciousness and this world.

The soil of the spiritual field beneath her feet, the furniture of the bamboo fence courtyard, the starlight on Sword Tomb Mountain... the feeling towards these things is like the courtyard itself, her own skin, blood, bones, and so on.

The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves of the spiritual plant sounded to her like the sound of her own blood flowing.

This blessed land seemed to have been completely integrated into her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her.

Jiang Yi looked up at Sword Tomb Mountain. She knew that this change stemmed from the fact that when she was refined by the Azure Emperor, he forcibly condensed and unified the powerful sword spirits and primordial power of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Star Swords into one.

At this moment, this giant sword, forged from the essence of stars, stands at the very center of Sword Tomb Mountain, like a star pillar piercing through heaven and earth.

The remaining sword energy clouds within Youxian Ferry swirled around this giant star pillar, slowly spiraling and flowing, emitting a deep, resonant sword sound.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath, and with her breath, the flowers, fruits, grasses and trees in the spirit field swayed in unison.

The air was filled with the almost liquefied spiritual energy of the Five Elements, the mysterious Yin and Yang energies constantly emanating from the black and white lotus in the center of the medicinal field, and the cool star power on Sword Tomb Mountain. These were all drawn to her Yang spirit and converged into powerful streams of light that poured down on her, nourishing and repairing her not-so-healthy Yang spirit.

By severing a primordial spirit clone, and through the intentional actions of the Azure Emperor, Jiang Yi's Yang God was reduced to only one-third the strength of a normal person, even weaker than when she first transformed into a deity.

At this moment, the power accumulated within the Immortal Crossing should be enough to replenish another third. As for the rest, she will have to figure out a way to deal with it slowly after she escapes. Cultivating in the Mountain and Sea Realm using the Yang God Path is no different from severing the path to immortality.

At most... it would make her invincible within the Nascent Soul realm, and able to contend with some within the Void Refinement realm.

Suppressing these conflicting thoughts, Jiang Yi released Hong Li from her body.

As soon as Hong Li landed, she found herself back in Youxian Ferry. She immediately transformed into a red-haired girl and looked around.

"Hua Gu—"

"she is not here."

Jiang Yi answered somewhat guiltily, and Hong Li snorted at her before rushing towards the Refining Weapon Cave to find Zhen Shan and Duan Jin.

Having previously attacked the Nine Emperors with all their might, the demons had suffered considerable losses, so they did not come out to greet her, but instead stayed in their respective positions at the array eyes of the Five Elements Grand Array within the Immortal Ferry to recuperate.

Jiang Yi slipped back into the bamboo-fenced courtyard, respectfully took the Heart-Piercing Mirror from her waist, and placed it on the stone table.

“Zhu Xin, I thank you for this. I apologize first. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have taken it upon myself to send you away against your wishes.”

Jiang Yi bowed sincerely, and Zhu Xin slowly transformed into a young boy in golden robes, crossed his arms, raised his chin, and sat cross-legged on the stone table.

"Hmph! If it weren't for me this time, you would be dead."

"It's not that bad..." Jiang Yi retorted stubbornly.

He roared furiously, "You've died twice already and you're still being stubborn?!"

Jiang Yi was taken aback. "You knew?"

With a smug grin, he replied, "Of course."

Jiang Yi understood the reason after a moment's thought, but continued to be stubborn, "It didn't happen, I just had two nightmares, it doesn't count as real death!"

Zhu Xin rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with Jiang Yi at this moment, and got back to the main topic.

“I have arranged for Hua Gu, Xin Wushuang, and Luo Qingsi to sabotage the great formation set up by the Nine Emperors. If they succeed, they can buy you at least twelve hours. If they fail, then once the stars return to their positions and the great formation is activated, the Nine Emperors will surely come down to capture you in person.”

Jiang Yi nodded. "I understand. I feel the real solution lies in this cave. I will figure everything out as soon as possible." Zhu Xin didn't say anything more. He transformed into a small mirror and hung himself back on Jiang Yi's waist, ready to explore with her.

Jiang Yi didn't disturb the demons, nor did she linger in the Immortal Ferry. She carried the Qinghui Qin on her back, took her usual magic weapon, retrieved some items, and returned outside.

Jiang Yi threw a bunch of things on the ground with a clatter, and everyone opened their eyes and looked at her.

"Here are some magical artifacts and armor for Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Take a look and see which ones you can use, or tell me what kind of magical artifact you need, and I will refine it for you right now."

Shen Puning was the first to ask, "Can you still refine magic weapons right now?"

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "You know nothing about my strength, so I'll lend you this for now."

Jiang Yi took out the mayfly pillow and handed it to Shen Puning. This thing was more direct and forceful to use, which was suitable for someone as strong as Shen Puning.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yi handed the Red Silk Tribulation to Hua Luosha, the golden needle and red thread suiting her evil cultivator temperament.

The others also stood up and started picking through the pile of things. There was no need to refuse at this time; having a magical artifact would increase their chances of survival.

Yan Kongqing took away the various array plates inside, most of which were made by Hua Gu in her spare time based on the inheritance left by Xingyan Sanren.

Mo Ling took some mechanical puppets and puppet warriors, all products of Duanjin, and Mo Ling was very satisfied.

Zhao Cangyun searched around but found no knife. Jiang Yi told him to be patient and sent a telepathic message to Hong Li in Youxian Ferry, asking her to forge two knives for Zhao Cangyun right now, as there were still materials in the warehouse of Youxian Ferry.

Everyone else picked out suitable magical artifacts and armor, but Shang Shixu remained standing aside the whole time.

He is a Gu Master, specializing only in controlling insects. Currently, apart from the Formless Gu and a small number of Silver Mist Insects, he has no other usable insects.

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something she had neglected for a long time. It was a mutated green ribbon bee that Zhu Xin had painstakingly cultivated and raised in the lightning tower. It was a spirit insect that could weave an electric web.

Jiang Yi obtained the Lightning-Attracting Tower from Zhu Xin and walked up to Shang Shixu. "Junior Brother Shang, are you able to control this kind of spirit insect?"

Two variegated bees with silver electric patterns on their wings flew out from the bird. Shang Shixu's eyes lit up and he immediately caught the two mutated bees in his palm to examine them carefully.

"I didn't expect Senior Sister Jiang to be so skilled in the hybrid breeding of spirit insects. This bee is truly extraordinary; I can control it."

"Then I'll release them all, and you can collect them carefully."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large swarm of bees rushed out of the lightning tower. Their numbers were so great that everyone had to give way. They suddenly felt a blinding silver-white thundercloud appear in front of them, with buzzing sounds and lightning flashing and thundering, shaking the entire cave.

Since Shang Shixu had no flute available, he put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle. The originally irritable mutated green ribbon bees immediately became docile and, guided by Shang Shixu, flew into his sleeve and disappeared.

Besides the mutated green ribbon bees, Jiang Yi also discovered many 'Blood Fiend Thunder Pearls' in the lightning tower, which were made from the blood marrow crystals he found when collecting corpse demons in Zhenzhou.

Blood Marrow Crystals and the Du'e Fruit Tree grow together in the Lightning Tower. Zhu Xin often uses Blood Marrow Crystals to make Lightning Beads when he has nothing else to do, and he has accumulated quite a lot.

Jiang Yi wiped them all out at once, distributing over a hundred to each person.

"Alright, time is of the essence. We'll split into pairs and explore the surroundings separately. I'll leave this formation here. No matter what dangers you encounter, you can retreat here to take shelter. Regardless of whether you discover anything or not, you must return here to regroup within two hours at most."

Everyone nodded and spontaneously formed teams.

Jiang Yi had already said that she would be in a group with Zhao Cangyun, Shen Puning would be in a group with Shang Shixu, Hua Luosha would bring Mo Ling, and Bai Shengjie and Yan Kongqing would be in a group.
