Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 114: Retreat and Practice
Dong Xuaner practiced a dual cultivation technique that had the effect of preserving one's youth.

Although this kind of practice can make practitioners stay young forever, but when they practice to a certain level, they have to practice dual cultivation with the opposite sex, otherwise their skills will not be able to improve further.

Because of the war with the six sects of the evil way, Hongfu had been fighting against the Jindan cultivators of the six sects of the evil way in Jiang Kingdom, and had no time to find a Taoist partner for Dong Xuaner.

"Junior-nephew Xuan'er, I wonder what difficulties you have encountered in your cultivation? You may as well tell me. I am confident that I still have some means to deal with it."

Jiang Tongyue had a kind smile on her face and spoke to Dong Xuaner very confidently.

Dong Xuan'er was secretly delighted when she heard this, and immediately told Jiang Tongyue in an ambiguous manner about the difficulties she encountered in her cultivation.

"The difficulty you are facing in your cultivation is actually quite simple. As the saying goes, yin cannot grow alone, and yang cannot grow alone. The difficulty you are facing in your cultivation is related to the technique you are practicing. As long as you can find a Taoist companion, they can help you break through the bottleneck of your cultivation."

After listening to Dong Xuaner's words, Jiang Tongyue pondered for a moment, then looked up and spoke to Dong Xuaner.

"Then I wonder if Uncle Jiang can help me practice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Xuan'er looked up at Jiang Tongyue and spoke to her innocently like a little white rabbit.

"Oh? Junior-Martial-Nephew Xuan'er, you should know that I am a Taoist partner with Nangong Wan from the Yanyue Sect. Do you want to become my concubine?"

Jiang Tongyue just smiled lightly when she heard that, raised her hand to lift Dong Xuaner's chin, and asked Dong Xuaner.

It was the first time that Dong Xuaner experienced such an intimate action. She couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster and her cheeks getting hot.

"Master Jiang's legendary story in Yue State has already attracted this junior. If I could become Master Jiang's concubine, this junior would be willing to do so."

Dong Xuan'er's words were gentle. She would rather be Jiang Tongyue's concubine than become a Taoist partner with a foundation-building cultivator in Huangfeng Valley.

Hearing Dong Xuaner's words, Jiang Tongyue's expression gradually became firm. He had to taste Dong Xuaner's delicious tea.

"In that case, I will help you practice!"

Dong Xuan'er said this, Jiang Tongyue naturally would not hesitate any further. As for how to explain to Hong Fu.

I don't care about her JPG here or there.

Jiang Tongyue brought Dong Xuaner directly to the cave in the blood-colored forbidden land and began to help Dong Xuaner practice.

On that day, Jiang Tongyue helped Dong Xuaner break through from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.

I have to say that although Dong Xuan'er is not as good-looking as Nangong Wan, her figure is much better than Nangong Wan's.

Especially Dong Xuaner's pair of long legs, which made Jiang Tongyue love them so much that he practiced on them several times.

Dong Xuan'er was exhausted at this time. She lay on Jiang Tongyue's bed and fell asleep.

Jiang Tongyue did not disturb Dong Xuaner's thoughts, but left the room directly and went into Liu's room.

After several hours, Jiang Tongyue left Liu's room and entered Chen Qiaoqian's room.

It was not until a day later that Jiang Tongyue entered her room. At this time, Dong Xuaner had already woken up.

“I didn’t expect that Uncle Jiang’s cave would be so rich, far surpassing the spiritual veins in my master’s cave.”

As soon as Dong Xuan'er saw Jiang Tongyue coming in, she lay in Jiang Tongyue's arms and spoke to her tenderly.

"It's just a little adventure. From now on, you can stay with me. As for Senior Sister Hongfu, I will go and explain everything to her."

Jiang Tongyue stroked Dong Xuaner's hair with a smile on her face and gave Dong Xuaner assurance in a gentle tone.

"Really? Thank you so much, Uncle Jiang."

Dong Xuaner sat up immediately after hearing this, her eyes suddenly filled with surprise.
Jiang Tongyue, who had been calm, suddenly became angry. He hugged Dong Xuaner and immediately started practicing.

It was not until Dong Xuan'er's cultivation reached a bottleneck that Jiang Tongyue let her go and went to Liu and Chen Qiaoqian's room.

A day later, Jiang Tongyue began to think about why humans had this idea of ​​"Xingyu", until Jiang Tongyue saw Chen Qiaoqian's pitiful expression.

Da said, let’s go!!!
The next day, Jiang Tongyue's originally restless heart finally calmed down and she returned to her room.

At this time, Dong Xuan'er was already dressed neatly and was waiting obediently for Jiang Tongyue to come back.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue asked Dong Xuaner to choose an empty room among the many rooms in his cave and live there.

After Dong Xuan'er settled down, Jiang Tongyue began to practice the Great Freedom Xuanjin Sword Qi in seclusion in the cave.

His cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan. In this environment full of abundant and rich spiritual energy, using top-level spirit stones to assist in his cultivation, it will only take less than ten years for him to reach the peak of the late stage of Jindan.

By that time, Jiang Tongyue would be able to start collecting various spiritual objects to assist Jindan cultivators in breaking through to the Yuanying stage.

In fact, if Jiang Tongyue used top-level spirit stones to assist in his cultivation, he would also be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, using top-level spirit stones to assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will not bring much increase in Jiang Tongyue's combat power.

And if he prepares some spiritual objects for Jindan cultivators to break through to the Yuanying stage to reward his many disciples, the system will be able to return treasures of higher quality.

Using the treasures returned by the system to assist in the breakthrough will allow Jiang Tongyue to gain even stronger combat power.

This is something that top-level spirit stones cannot compare to at all.

As for the Great Evolution Jue that can strengthen the soul of a cultivator, for Jiang Tongyue, it can be practiced slowly after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, because of the system, Jiang Tongyue can succeed 100% every time he breaks through the realm.

Therefore, the function of Dayan Jue that can increase the probability of breakthrough by 30% is somewhat useless to Jiang Tongyue.

Only the special function of enhancing the spirit and soul of cultivators is of some benefit to Jiang Tongyue.

Of course, the puppet solution that comes with the Dayan Jue is also a good fighting method for Jiang Tongyue. However, all of this is not as important as the breakthrough in cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the more methods he can use.

Even with Jiang Tongyue's current cultivation level of the late Jindan stage, he cannot fully unleash the power of his innate magic weapon, the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Gourd.

However, if Jiang Tongyue can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to fully unleash the power of the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Gourd.

Jiang Tongyue began to practice in seclusion. With the help of the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the cave and the top-level spiritual stones, Jiang Tongyue's cultivation level improved at a terrifying speed.

In this way, several years passed quickly while Jiang Tongyue was in seclusion.

During the years that Jiang Tongyue was in seclusion and practicing, the situation in Tiannan underwent tremendous changes.

First of all, the Cheqi Kingdom completely fell into the hands of the six evil sects, and the immortal cultivators of the Xu Kingdom and the Zijin Kingdom evacuated back to the borders of their respective countries.

After repelling the immortal cultivators from Xu State and Zijin State, the immortal cultivators from the six sects of the demonic path absorbed the territory of Cheqi State while mobilizing immortal cultivators to support the immortal cultivators from the six sects of the demonic path in Jiang State.

The place where the Seven Sects of Yue State are located is right at the border of Jiang State and Cheqi State. When the reinforcements of the Six Demonic Sects arrived, the pressure on the Seven Sects of Yue State doubled, and their defense lines were broken through layer by layer by the Six Demonic Sects.

The gap between the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom and the Six Sects of Demonic Path is too big.

The reason why the seven sects of Yue State were able to maintain a stalemate with the six sects of the Demonic Path was purely because the six sects of the Demonic Path were distracted and attacked the two countries of Jiang State and Cheqi State at the same time.

Secondly, there are four or five medium-sized countries in the cultivation world, which share the pressure with the seven sects of Yue State.

Now, the immortal cultivators from Xu State and Zijin State were defeated, and the immortal cultivators from the seven sects of Yue State were immediately at a disadvantage.

Especially Jiang Tongyue’s two disciples, Jiang Tongyue and Mo Yuzhu, were on the kill list of the six sects of the devil.

During the evacuation of the seven sects of Yue State, the two were besieged and attacked several times by the Jindan cultivators of the six sects of the Demonic Path.

Fortunately, Jiang Tongyue had given them many self-defense treasures before. Not only did Han Li and the Black Jade Pearl not fall into the targeting of the Six Demonic Sects, but they also killed many Jindan cultivators of the Six Demonic Sects, making those Yuanying cultivators of the Six Demonic Sects feel very painful.

They also developed strong murderous intent towards Han Li and Mo Yuzhu. If the Nascent Soul cultivators of the six sects of the Demonic Path had not already agreed with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom that the Nascent Soul cultivators must not take action, these Nascent Soul cultivators would definitely take action to eliminate Han Li and Mo Yuzhu.

As for the fact that Wang Tianwang had taken action to kill Jiang Tongyue before, it was purely because the Nascent Soul cultivators of the six sects of the Demonic Path had not yet reached an agreement with the Nascent Soul cultivators of the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom that the Nascent Soul cultivators must not interfere in the war.

After the seven sects of Yue Kingdom evacuated from Jiang Kingdom, the immortal cultivators of Yuanwu Kingdom also evacuated from Jiang Kingdom.

After all, the strength of the immortal cultivation world in Yuanwu Kingdom is only comparable to the previous seven sects of Yue Kingdom.

As for the only remaining Baixiu Sect and Qianduan Sect in Jiang State, after seeing that things were hopeless, they also abandoned Jiang State's resources for cultivating immortals and chose to evacuate to the more distant Beiliang State through Yue State and Zijin State.

As long as they can escape to Beiliang Kingdom, the flames of Qianduan Sect and Baixiu Sect can be preserved.

Although Beiliang Kingdom is also a medium-sized country like Yue Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom, it is a member of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

The Nine-Nation Alliance is a transcendent force like the Righteous Alliance and the Six Demonic Sects, and is also led by Wei Wuya, one of the three great cultivators of Tiannan.

Moreover, the Nine-Nation Alliance has been resisting the invasion of the Mulan people for generations. Even the Righteous Alliance and the Six Sects of the Demonic Path would not choose to invade the Nine-Nation Alliance.

The six factions of the Yue Kingdom in the original novel abandoned the Yue Kingdom, fled to the Beiliang Kingdom, and became a member of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Although in this case, resisting the invasion of the Mulan people in the Tianlan grassland is not as good as living freely in the original country, it is much better than being wiped out.

It seemed that the six sects of the Demonic Path did not choose to invade the Yue and Yuanwu States after annexing the Jiang and Cheqi States, because too many Jindan cultivators had been killed in the previous battles. Instead, they chose to recuperate.

In this way, the immortal cultivators from countries like Yue and Jiang finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Of course, the immortal cultivation circles in Yue and Yuanwu countries will not relax their vigilance against the Six Demonic Sects. Instead, they will continue to dispatch immortal cultivators to patrol the borders of their respective countries to prevent sudden attacks from the Six Demonic Sects.

The actions of the six evil sects had just stopped, but the righteous alliance, which was hostile to the six evil sects, had already annexed several countries including Wangshui Kingdom with great momentum.

Compared to the six evil sects that suffered heavy losses, the Righteous Alliance, which annexed several countries in succession, did not lose too many cultivators.

Therefore, the Zhengdao League, which was in its heyday, did not choose to stop, but continued to invade Tianlu, Xi and other countries.

In order to deal with the annexation of the Righteous Alliance and the Six Demonic Sects, the Xi Kingdom, the Huayu Kingdom, the Tianlu Kingdom and other countries decided to unite and establish an organization called the Tiandao Alliance to resist the Righteous Alliance and the Six Demonic Sects.

The Tiandao League, which brings together the immortal cultivation circles of more than a dozen countries, is very powerful. Except for the lack of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, it is no weaker than the Zhengdao League and the Six Demonic Sects.

However, although there is no great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage in the Tiandao Alliance, there is a pair of Taoist companions in the middle Nascent Soul stage who possess special magical powers and are good at combined attacks. If they join hands, they can fight against a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, the Tiandao League is not weaker than the Zhengdao League or the Six Demonic Sects.

The immortal cultivation circles in countries such as Yue, Yuanwu and Zijin also knew that they were no match for the Righteous Alliance or the Six Demonic Sects, so they chose to set up an organization called the Human Alliance to protect themselves between the Six Demonic Sects and the Righteous Alliance.

In fact, it’s not that Yue State, Yuanwu State and others don’t want to join the Tiandao League, but that these countries are too far away from the Tiandao League.

Even if they joined the Tiandao League, countries like Yue and Yuanwu were invaded by the Zhengdao League and the Six Demonic Sects. The immortal cultivators from other countries in the Tiandao League were simply unable to provide timely support to Yue, Yuanwu and other countries.

However, although the Human Alliance established by the Yue Kingdom and the Yuanwu Kingdom is temporarily inferior to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Righteous Dao Alliance, and the Six Demonic Sects, and does not have any great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, it has infinite potential and is quietly accumulating strength, waiting for the day to show its claws.

Among them, several supreme elders of the Yanyue Sect had already refined the eighth-level demon pill that they had traded with Jiang Tongyue into medicine, and began to practice in seclusion.

After they come out of seclusion, their cultivation will surely improve greatly, and the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect will even have the hope of advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even the supreme elder of Huangfeng Valley, Linghu Old Monster, returned to his cave and continued to practice in seclusion.

With two top-level spirit stones in his hands, his cultivation speed is amazing. It is even possible that he can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage before the great elder of Yanyue Sect.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Jiang Tongyue. After several years of secluded practice, he finally reached the peak of the late Jindan stage.

PS: I didn’t expect that this could be audited. The audits are becoming more and more strict nowadays.
