Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 109: The Spiritual Thunder Bamboo
"Han Li, the Qingyuan Sword Technique you practice requires the spiritual bamboo in the world of immortal cultivation to refine it into a life-saving magic weapon. You are lucky. Not long ago, your master found the Tianlei Bamboo, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation."

Jiang Tongyue spoke to Han Li and took out six emerald green bamboos with roots connected from the storage bag.

Over the past year, all of the great fortune dew in Jiang Tongyue's palm bottle was used to promote the growth of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Therefore, in just one year, this one Heavenly Thunder Bamboo grew into six ten thousand year old Golden Thunder Bamboos that could ward off evil spirits.

Han Li became excited when he heard this. He was originally thinking about what kind of spiritual bamboo he should look for to refine his own magic weapon after forming the elixir.

However, he did not expect that his master Jiang Tongyue actually gave him such a big surprise and found the Tianlei Bamboo, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation, for him in advance!

Han Li also directly took over the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation.

Suddenly, the system's return was triggered.

"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Han Li with a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation. The current return multiple is fifty times. Please choose..."

"Choice 1: Return fifty pieces of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation!"

"Choice 2: Return the spiritual object, a piece of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo!"

Looking at the second option on the system panel, Jiang Tongyue fell into deep thought.

The so-called spiritual things are spiritual plants, spiritual medicines, and spiritual herbs. After hundreds of thousands of years of growth, they accidentally develop spiritual intelligence.

Just like in the original novel, the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng that Han Li captured in the Xutian Palace was a being that had developed spiritual intelligence.

Moreover, the elixir that gave birth to spiritual intelligence can also continue to advance through practice, just like humans and demons.

If this piece of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo could develop intelligence, its combat power would be among the best in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo is one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation, and it even possesses divine thunder that can ward off evil spirits, making it the nemesis of evil spirits.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Tongyue directly chose the second option. Immediately, the returned Heavenly Thunder Bamboo appeared in his storage space.

"Okay, Han Li, you go down first to consolidate your cultivation. I will go to the Yellow Maple Valley and ask Junior Brother Zhong to prepare a Dan-forming celebration for you and Yuzhu."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue looked at Han Li and gave him some instructions.

Han Li nodded in agreement, then left Jiang Tongyue's room and went back to consolidate his cultivation.

After Han Li left, Jiang Tongyue couldn't wait to take out the returned Heavenly Thunder Bamboo from the storage space.

As soon as Jiang Tongyue took out the returned Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, golden lightning began to flash and crackle on the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue sensed a vague spiritual being from the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

From this elusive soul, Jiang Tongyue felt a look of closeness.

Although the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo returned by the system successfully developed intelligence, it was still unable to transform.

However, after it gained intelligence, this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was able to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own every day, and it would not take too long for it to transform into a human form.

Jiang Tongyue entered the secret room and planted the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in his hand in the place where the spiritual energy was the most abundant.

Suddenly, an expression of incomparable joy was transmitted from this soul.

Seeing this, Jiang Tongyue immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.

With the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this secret room, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo can greatly shorten the time it takes to transform into a human form.

Once this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo successfully transforms into a human form, Jiang Tongyue will have an assistant with unlimited potential.

After planting the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, Jiang Tongyue left the cave and went to the meeting hall in the Huangfeng Valley, where he met Zhong Lingdao, the headmaster of the Huangfeng Valley.

When Zhong Lingdao learned that Jiang Tongyue's two disciples had broken through to the Jindan stage at the same time, he was extremely happy.

You know, now the seven sects of Yue Kingdom are fighting against the six evil sects of Tianluo Kingdom, and both sides have suffered heavy losses.

Now, Han Li and Mo Yuzhu have successfully broken through to the Jindan stage, which can be said to have greatly increased the strength of Huangfeng Valley.

Zhong Lingdao immediately and actively took over the Dan-forming celebration of Han Li and Mo Yuzhu.

Jiang Tongyue was very satisfied with the head of Huangfeng Valley, so he handed the matter over to Zhong Lingdao.

After leaving Huangfeng Valley, Jiang Tongyue rushed towards the battlefield of Jiang State and soon met Nangong Wan in Jiang State.

Over the past few years, the immortal cultivators from Yue, Jiang and Yuanwu have been fighting fiercely with the six evil sects of Tianluo.

Both sides suffered heavy losses. In this battle, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators were lost, and even several Core Formation cultivators died.

Nangong Wan was also in Jiang Kingdom, fighting against the Jindan cultivators from the six sects of the Demonic Path. With the help of the Jiaohun Flag given to her by Jiang Tongyue, she killed a Jindan cultivator from the six sects of the Demonic Path and became completely famous.

"Long time no see, Wan'er, you have become more beautiful and charming."

Jiang Tongyue pulled Nangong Wan into his arms and gently stroked Nangong Wan's black and smooth hair with great pity.

"Humph, you haven't even come to see me for so many years, and you still say that you have me in your heart."

Nangong Wan curled her lips and spoke to Jiang Tongyue with great dissatisfaction.

"Oh, Wan'er, I was delayed by something. If not, I would rush to Jiang State to see you right away if I had time."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Nangong Wan's tone, Jiang Tongyue also laughed and directly admitted his mistake to Nangong Wan.

Hearing this, Nangong Wan's dissatisfaction immediately dissipated a lot.

"By the way, Wan'er, this is a top-grade spirit stone that I obtained from a secret realm not long ago. It can help you break through your cultivation faster."

At this moment, Jiang Tongyue took out two top-grade spirit stones with fire attributes from the storage bag and placed them in Nangong Wan's hand.

"What? Top-grade spirit stones! Are you really willing to give this spirit stone to me? You know, a top-grade spirit stone is worth 1.1 million low-grade spirit stones, and in the world of immortal cultivation, no one will trade low-grade spirit stones."

Nangong Wan stared at the two top-level spirit stones in her hand in a daze, and asked Jiang Tongyue with an incredible look on her face.

"Of course, no matter how valuable this top-level spirit stone is, in my heart, it is not even one ten-thousandth as valuable as Wan'er's!"

Jiang Tongyue said to Nangong Wan without hesitation.

After hearing Jiang Tongyue's words, Nangong Wan's heart trembled violently, her body suddenly softened, and she fell into his arms.

Jiang Tongyue struck while the iron was hot and began to touch Nangong Wan. Although Nangong Wan was shy, she let Jiang Tongyue do whatever he wanted. When the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Tongyue came out of Nangong Wan's room. As for Nangong Wan, she was still resting in the room.

At this time, the Jindan cultivators from seven sects, including Fairy Hongfu, Fairy Nishang, Li Huayuan, etc., who had fought with the Jindan cultivators of the evil sect all night, had just returned to this camp.

Fairy Hongfu, Li Huayuan and other Jindan cultivators suddenly showed a look of surprise and astonishment on their faces after seeing Jiang Tongyue.

You must know that Jiang Tongyue was ordered by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the six sects of the Demonic Path not to take action on the battlefield in Jiang Kingdom.

They don’t know why Jiang Tongyue is here now?
"It's like this, Senior Sister Hongfu, my two disciples, Han Li and Mo Yuzhu, have successfully broken through to the Jindan stage. I will come to this camp first to inform all the brothers and sisters from the seven sects."

In response to Hongfu's question, Jiang Tongyue smiled gently and began to explain to her.

"Oh? Yuzhu and Han Li have actually broken through to the Jindan stage. That's really something worth celebrating!"

When Fairy Hongfu heard the good news, a smile appeared on her face.

Fairy Hongfu is also quite familiar with the combat capabilities of Han Li and Mo Yuzhu.

When they were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, their combat power crushed the cultivators of the same level. Now, they have broken through to the Core Formation Stage, and their strength is comparable to that of the late Core Formation Stage.

Therefore, if the two of them could provide support to Jiang State, the pressure here would be greatly relieved.

In this battlefield, the army of cultivators from the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom has been suppressed and beaten by the six sects of the evil way.

Although, when Jiang Tongyue had not yet been banned by the evil sect, he killed more than a dozen Jindan cultivators in a row.

However, the six sects of the devil have a strong foundation after all, and they have sent many cultivators to participate in the war.

The immortal cultivators from the seven sects of Yue State, who originally had a slight advantage, are now at a disadvantage.

If this continues, it won't take a few years for the seven factions of Yue State to withdraw from Jiang State.

Now, the seven sects of Yue State have lost a lot of foundation-building monks in Jiang State, so they are naturally unwilling to withdraw from Jiang State.

Jiang Tongyue naturally understood the thoughts of Hong Fu and other Jindan cultivators. He also planned to let Han Li and Mo Yuzhu, who had broken through to the Jindan stage, continue to come to the Jiang Kingdom to participate in the war.

Even though both of them had just broken through to the Jindan stage, because they had used the Jinyuan Pill that surpassed the immortal grade to break through, their combat power was even more terrifying than that of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.

Therefore, Jiang Tongyue was naturally very relieved about the safety of Han Li and the Black Jade Pearl.

Jiang Tongyue only stayed in the battlefield of Jiang State for a few days before leaving the base camp and returning to Yue State.

This time, Jiang Tongyue took Nangong Wan away as well.

After all, Nangong Wan had just obtained two top-level spirit stones, and she needed to practice in a quiet place to relax.

After returning to the Kingdom of Yue, Jiang Tongyue followed Nangong Wan to her cave, and spent a few days with her.

Nangong Wan's cave was filled with traces of the two men's madness. If it weren't for Nangong Wan's lack of physical strength, the two would have been able to continue fighting.

This time the battle was really exciting.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue was not in a hurry to leave Nangong Wan's cave, but asked Nangong Wan to take him to Yanyue Sect.

Jiang Tongyue planned to use the demon pill to trade various spiritual eye items with the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Yanyue Sect.

As for top-level spirit stones, unless Jiang Tongyue can break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will not take out top-level spirit stones to trade with others.

Soon, Jiang Tongyue arrived at the mountain gate of Yanyue Sect and met several Nascent Soul cultivators of Yanyue Sect.

It has to be said that the Yanyue Sect is worthy of being the strongest sect among the seven sects of Yue State, with three Nascent Soul cultivators.

In addition, there is a Nascent Soul cultivator whose cultivation has reached the middle Nascent Soul stage. As for the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, they are also not bad. There is a female Nascent Soul cultivator whose cultivation has reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

If one practices hard for more than a hundred years, breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would not be a difficult task.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Jiang, are you so impatient to marry our Wan'er back to Yellow Maple Valley? If there is no suitable gift, we will not be able to let Wan'er go!"

The great elder of the Yanyue Sect, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, started flirting with Jiang Tongyue as soon as he saw her.

"Hey! Master, what nonsense are you talking about!"

At this time, Nangong Wan's face turned red, and she couldn't help but stamp her feet, and said coquettishly to the great elder of the Yanyue Sect.

That’s right, Nangong Wan is the disciple of the Yanyue Sect’s grand elder.

"Uncle Zhou, in my heart, Wan'er is more important than a mountain. As for Wan'er's betrothal gift, I will certainly not let you down."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue looked at Nangong Wan affectionately, and her tone immediately gave goosebumps to the people present.

"Okay, I heard from Wan'er that you plan to trade with us. What do you need?"

When the Great Elder of Yanyue Sect saw Jiang Tongyue's expression, he knew that Jiang Tongyue would not let Nangong Wan down, so he started to talk about business.

"It's like this, Master Zhou, I need some spiritual eye items, and the Moon-Blanking Sect is the strongest of the seven sects of Yue Country, so they must have many spiritual eye items. That's why I asked Wan'er to introduce a few masters to me."

Seeing the Great Elder of Yanyue Sect asking about his purpose, Jiang Tongyue no longer concealed it and spoke directly.

Jiang Tongyue's words immediately made the faces of several Nascent Soul cultivators present very happy.

"My Yanyue Sect does have some spiritual eye items, including five spiritual eye stones and one spiritual eye stone. I wonder what treasures you plan to trade, Junior Brother Jiang?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect decisively told the sect about the spiritual eye.

Although the spiritual eye items are precious, if Jiang Tongyue can take out a treasure that makes them excited, they don’t mind trading the spiritual eye items with Jiang Tongyue.

"I plan to use this item to make a deal. I wonder if Master Uncle agrees?"

Jiang Tongyue hesitated for a moment, then took out a deep blue ball from his storage bag.

"This is actually a demon pill from an eighth-level demon beast!"

The Great Elder of Yanyue Sect stood up suddenly, stared at the azure ball in Jiang Tongyue's hand with wide eyes.

Even the other two Nascent Soul cultivators present came up with surprise on their faces, and carefully looked at the azure ball on Jiang Tongyue's finger.

Yes, what Jiang Tongyue took out was exactly the demon pill of an eighth-level demon beast!
