Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 124: Incorporating the Sixth Palace

When Jiang Tongyue's figure appeared in Baishui Tower again, the owner of Baishui Tower almost popped his eyes out.

It was because, more than ten years ago, Jiang Tongyue bought a demon pill worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the Shanhai Pavilion.

Afterwards, several elders of Liulian Palace followed Jiang Tongyue and left Kuixing Island, and disappeared from then on.

The loss of several Jindan cultivators at once caused the strength of Liulian Palace to drop significantly, and the palace master of Liulian Palace was furious.

They were not angry about the loss of these Jindan cultivators, but they were angry that these elders dared to offend those they could not afford to offend.

Fortunately, after so many years, Liulian Palace has never suffered retaliation, which made the palace master of Liulian Palace feel relieved.

After all, unless it was necessary, he didn't want to make enemies with others, as that would delay his time for practice.

But just when Liulian Hall was almost relaxed, Jiang Tongyue, who had always frightened Liulian Hall, appeared again.

Jiang Tongyue's portrait had already spread throughout the entire Liulian Palace, and all the cultivators in the Liulian Palace had already memorized Jiang Tongyue's appearance.

"This time, I am here to discuss the incident more than a decade ago when several elders from the Sixth Palace attempted to surround and kill me. Please ask the Palace Master of your Sixth Palace to come out."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue put his hands behind his back and no longer concealed his cultivation. The terrifying aura of the Nascent Soul stage was immediately revealed.

Suddenly, the shopkeeper of Baishui Tower couldn't help but yell in shock.

Yuanying cultivator! This person is definitely a Yuanying cultivator!
Even the deputy hall masters of the Sixth Hall did not make him feel so desperate. It was as if he was an ant in front of Jiang Tongyue.

"Senior... Senior, I will go and inform the master of the Sixth Palace right away. Please wait for a moment."

The shopkeeper of Baishui Tower looked pale and spoke to Jiang Tongyue in a nervous tone.

After obtaining Jiang Tongyue's consent, the owner of Baishui Tower left the room.

Then, Jiang Tongyue sat down at the eight-immortal table in this room.

Yuan Yao and Yanli, who followed Jiang Tongyue, were stunned by what they saw just now.

"Excuse me. More than ten years ago, when I was still in the Jindan stage, I made a deal with the Liulian Palace. However, when I left Kuixing Island, several Jindan stage elders of the Liulian Palace were jealous of the treasures I carried with me and tried to surround and kill me. I had no choice but to kill those Jindan cultivators in return..."

Jiang Tongyue smiled gently at Yuan Yao and Yanli, and told them the feud between him and Liuliandian.

The reason why he didn't go to Liuliandian to settle the score before was that it was unnecessary. After all, he didn't suffer any losses.

The reason why he was looking for Liulian Palace to settle the score now was because he planned to pretend in front of Yuan Yao and Yanli, and at the same time, he planned to take Liulian Palace into his pocket.

Previously, Jiang Tongyue planned to take out a large amount of top-level spirit stones to trade for various rare treasures in the Chaos Star Sea.

Therefore, he needed a force to handle transactions with other monks for him.

After all, it is impossible for him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, to trade with other cultivators personally. Will he still be able to practice then?
As the force second only to the four major business alliances, Liulian Palace is undoubtedly very suitable for Jiang Tongyue.

As for the hall master of the Liulian Hall, although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, Jiang Tongyue did not take him seriously at all.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao and Yanli showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least, Jiang Tongyue is not the kind of demon who kills innocent people indiscriminately, so they don’t have to worry about becoming a cauldron.

As for the deaths of several Jindan cultivators from the Liulian Palace, Yuan Yao and Yanli had not heard of it.

After all, it would be shameful to make this matter known to others, so Liuliandian kept the matter secret.

However, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and several top forces in Kuixing Island are also vaguely aware of the affairs of the Liulian Palace.

Yuan Yao and Yan Li were both from a small sect of immortal cultivators, so naturally they had no way of knowing the secret information of a force like the Liulian Palace.

"Wait... Senior, you are actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

At this moment, Yuan Yao and Yanli finally reacted and looked at Jiang Tongyue with shock in their eyes.

In response to the shocked looks from Yuan Yao and Yan Li, Jiang Tongyue smiled without saying anything, but she was actually feeling secretly happy.

Soon, the master of the Liulian Palace came to this room in Baishui Tower.

The master of Liulian Hall is an old man with white hair and beard, and an immortal look. His cultivation is only in the early Nascent Soul stage.

When the Sixth Palace Master came in and saw Jiang Tongyue, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he put on a kind smile and bowed to Jiang Tongyue and said, "I am the Sixth Palace Master Ku Xuan, nice to meet you, Brother Jiang."

"Fellow Daoist Ku Xuan, let's get straight to the point. I chose to trade with the Six-Link Palace because of its good reputation. But I didn't expect that the Jindan cultivators of your Six-Link Palace would actually try to surround and kill me. Please give me an explanation for this matter, fellow Daoist!"

Jiang Tongyue became angrier as he spoke, and he unabashedly pressed his aura towards Master Kuxuan, as if he was ready to start a fight if they disagreed.

Feeling Jiang Tongyue's terrifying aura, Master Ku Xuan's face suddenly changed. He was shocked by Jiang Tongyue's terrifying strength, and at the same time he was cursing Elder Gu and others.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this matter was all caused by the unauthorized actions of those people surnamed Gu. It has nothing to do with my Sixth Alliance Hall. However, in order to compensate for Fellow Daoist Jiang's losses, my Sixth Alliance Hall is willing to give out two seventh-level demon pills to compensate Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Master Kuxuan pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Jiang Tongyue, with obvious pain on his face.

"A mere seventh-level demon pill can catch my eye?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tongyue sneered, waved his hand, and ten level nine demon pills flew out of the storage bag.

"What! There are so many level nine demon pills!"

Looking at the ten level nine demon pills in front of him, Master Ku Xuan was completely shocked.

Not to mention a ninth-level demon pill, he couldn't even produce an eighth-level demon pill.

Although the resources of monsters in the Chaos Star Sea are endless, one must have strength to obtain monster pills continuously.

Once a demon beast breaks through to level eight, its strength is generally stronger than that of a human cultivator at the same level. This is the understanding of the cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea.

Jiang Tongyue was able to obtain so many ninth-level demon pills with his cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage. No matter they were obtained by Jiang Tongyue personally killing monsters, or they were rewards from the forces behind him, at least the forces behind Jiang Tongyue were people he could not afford to offend.

Even a transcendent force like the Star Palace would not reward a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage with ten level nine demon pills.

“Ku Xuan, you have offended me, which is simply a heinous crime! Now, kneel down and be my dog! Otherwise, no one in the entire Chaos Star Sea can save you!”

Jiang Tongyue had a cold expression on his face, and he looked at Master Kuxuan as if he was looking at an ant.

His voice echoed in the room, immediately making many low-level monks in the room stunned and horrified.

"Okay, okay! Fellow Daoist Jiang, it seems we must have a fight!" Master Ku Xuan was also angered by Jiang Tongyue's words. He actually laughed in anger and looked at Jiang Tongyue with cold eyes.

"Humph! In that case, why not go outside Kuixing Island and have a fight? I want you to be completely convinced!"

After saying that, Jiang Tongyue turned into a beam of light, flew out of Baishui Tower, and flew towards the sea outside Kuixing Island.

The master of the Liulian Hall, Master Kuxuan, also turned into a beam of light without hesitation and followed Jiang Tongyue.

The shopkeeper of Baishui Tower glanced at Yuan Yao and Yanli, who looked shocked, and just shook his head without any action.

After all, this is not a women's channel, and the owner of Baishui Tower would never have the courage to kidnap the maid of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

What's more, if the leader of their Sixth Palace defeated Jiang Tongyue, Yuan Yao and Yanli would naturally end up miserably.

But if Jiang Tongyue wins, wouldn't he be courting death?
Although Yuan Yao and Yanli were afraid, as things had come to this point, they could only force themselves to remain calm and hope that Jiang Tongyue would win.

In a sea area dozens of miles away from Kuixing Island, Jiang Tongyue and Master Kuxuan appeared here one after another.

After appearing, Jiang Tongyue and Master Kuxuan took out their magic weapons without hesitation and started fighting each other.

Needless to say, the ending is obvious. Although Master Ku Xuan broke through to the Nascent Soul stage early on, his potential has been exhausted, and he will never be able to break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime.

Jiang Tongyue broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in less than a hundred years. He has infinite potential and his combat power is not inferior to that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The two fought for only a few dozen rounds before Master Ku Xuan's magic weapon was broken by Jiang Tongyue, and he was also seriously injured.

It can be said that if Jiang Tongyue did not hold back, Master Ku Xuan would be completely defeated in just a dozen rounds.

"I give in! I give in! Brother Jiang, I am willing to be your dog. I hope Brother Jiang can spare my life!"

Master Ku Xuan was completely defeated by Jiang Tongyue and immediately shouted at Jiang Tongyue.

Although his life span was less than two hundred years, Master Ku Xuan did not want to die like this.

The higher the level of the cultivator, the more afraid he is of death.

After all, they had worked so hard to cultivate to their current level, so how could they be willing to die so easily?

"Very good, then release your spiritual consciousness and let me place a restriction in your spiritual consciousness!"

Seeing Master Kuxuan admit defeat, Jiang Tongyue remained calm and spoke to Master Kuxuan.

Upon hearing this, Master Kuxuan's expression suddenly became uncertain, but he finally expanded his spiritual sense and allowed Jiang Tongyue to place a restriction in his soul.

After this restriction was placed on him, unless Master Ku Xuan could break Jiang Tongyue's restriction, he would be Jiang Tongyue's slave for the rest of his life.

However, Jiang Tongyue had made up his mind that after taking over the Liulian Palace, he would refine a rare treasure to control these Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, the restrictions he set in Master Ku Xuan's soul were not strong. If Master Ku Xuan's cultivation level surpassed his, he would suffer backlash.

After subduing Master Kuxuan, Jiang Tongyue flew towards Kuixing Island, and Master Kuxuan followed behind Jiang Tongyue.

Not long after, the two returned to Baishui Tower.

At this time, the shopkeeper of Baishui Tower, Yuan Yao, Yanli and others were all surprised to see Jiang Tongyue and Master Kuxuan come back in such a short time.

However, Yuan Yao and Yan Li couldn't help but feel happy when they saw that Master Ku Xuan looked seriously injured.

This way, they don't have to worry about their own safety.

"From now on, the Sixth Palace will be Young Master Jiang's property. You must all show great respect to Young Master Jiang!"

Master Ku Xuan ignored the many gazes present and just calmly gave instructions to the owner of Baishui Tower.

The shopkeeper of Baishui Tower was extremely respectful upon hearing this and had no intention of objecting at all.

After all, the master of the Sixth Palace was defeated. What could he, a foundation-building cultivator, do?

"Very good, Ku Xuan, during the next period of time, you should first clean up the traitors of the Anti-Star Alliance in the Six-Link Palace. I don't want my Six-Link Palace to be full of traitors."

Jiang Tongyue gave the first order to Master Kuxuan.

The Anti-Star Alliance was formed by the union of the righteous and evil forces in the Chaos Star Sea. There are also many neutral forces like the Six-Link Palace that have been planted with traitors by the Anti-Star Alliance.

However, Jiang Tongyue believed that without the consent of Master Kuxuan, the Anti-Star Alliance would not be able to plant an accomplice in the Liulian Palace.

"Yes, young master, I will definitely wipe out all the traitors in the Anti-Star Alliance without leaving a single one behind."

Although Master Ku Xuan didn't know how Jiang Tongyue knew about the Anti-Star Alliance, he still agreed.

As for when Liuliandian came knocking on the door later, it was naturally Jiang Tongyue who handled it.

Jiang Tongyue nodded with satisfaction at Master Kuxuan's attitude. Although he knew that Master Kuxuan must want to kill him in his heart, he didn't care.

As long as Master Kuxuan is not as strong as him, he will become his slave.

After doing all this, Jiang Tongyue took Yuan Yao and Yanli away from Baishui Tower.

Yuan Yao and Yanli seemed to be frightened and followed Jiang Tongyue without saying a word along the way.

"What? Are you scared?"

At this time, Jiang Tongyue asked softly to Yuan Yao and Yanli.

"There is one thing. I originally thought that the senior was just a Jindan cultivator, but I didn't expect that the senior was actually a Yuanying cultivator!"

Yanli smiled at Jiang Tongyue, but the smile looked very forced.

After all, she and Yuan Yao were only cultivators in the Qi training stage. They were very nervous in the Baishui Tower, fearing that Jiang Tongyue would be defeated by Master Kuxuan.

"Don't worry, with me here, even the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars can't hurt you!"

At this moment, Jiang Tongyue also noticed the uneasiness in the two people's hearts, and began to comfort them. Her words were full of strong self-confidence.

For a moment, Yuan Yao and Yanli could not help but be shaken by Jiang Tongyue's self-confidence.
