Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Deep in the Demonic Beast Abyss, Jiang Tongyue, who had used the Heguangtongchen technique to hide his body, was looking for an island.

After Jiang Tongyue's soul-gathering bottle was filled with demon souls, he left that sea area and headed towards the depths of the demon beast sea.

His trip was to see Feng Xi, who lived deep in the Monster Sea.

After Feng Xi and Shanren advanced to level eight demon beasts, they had a descendant of the Wind-Splitting Beast. Therefore, Feng Xi is also a nanny.

In order to take care of the underage Wind-Splitting Beast, Feng Xi lived in the phosphorus fire pool deep in the Monster Sea.

The other immortal cultivators naturally didn’t know that this small island was actually inhabited by an eighth-level monster.

However, Jiang Tongyue is a time traveler and knew the information in advance, so he was able to know Feng Xi's exact location.

Following the location marked on the sea map in his hand, Jiang Tongyue quickly arrived above the island marked with the phosphorus pond.

At this time, Jiang Tongyue took back the magic weapon and Guang Tongchen, and also released his spiritual sense to search the environment here.

And under Jiang Tongyue's terrifying spiritual exploration, he successfully discovered the existence of a second-level Wind-Splitting Beast.

When seeing this Level 2 Wind-Splitting Beast, Jiang Tongyue couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, knowing in his heart that he was safe.

In the original novel, the Wind-Splitting Beast cub that Wen Siyue saw was just a level three demon beast.

Jiang Tongyue arrived at the Monster Sea Abyss several decades earlier, so the Wind-Splitting Beast he saw was naturally a level two monster.

Jiang Tongyue turned into a golden light without hesitation and flew towards the second-level Wind-Severing Beast, capturing it directly.

The Wind-Splitting Beast cub captured by Jiang Tongyue suddenly let out a loud scream, its voice full of fear.

As if attracted by the cry of the second-level Wind-Splitting Beast, a green light flew out from an island not far away and came in front of Jiang Tongyue.

This is a green-robed demon cultivator who has just advanced to level nine. His eyes are emerald green and there is something keratinous on the tip of his nose.

After a demon beast has cultivated to level eight, it can transform into a human form. The higher the level of cultivation, the fewer demon beast characteristics it has.

If you can break through to level ten, you will look no different from a normal human being.

At this moment, Feng Xi couldn't help but feel fearful when he saw that the person who captured his child was actually a late Nascent Soul cultivator of the human race.

"My name is Feng Xi. Nice to meet you, fellow Daoist. The Wind-Splitting Beast in your hand is my descendant. I wonder if you can release my child. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Feng Xi, who was extremely afraid of Jiang Tongyue, clasped his fists towards Jiang Tongyue and spoke with a hint of weakness.

Although he was confident, if he wanted to escape at his speed, even Jiang Tongyue, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, would not be able to stop him.

But if this happens, his child will fall into the hands of humans.

"You are indeed Feng Xi! Jiang will just say it straight, Fellow Daoist Feng, I sincerely invite you to join our Xinghai Merchant Alliance."

Seeing that the green-robed demon cultivator in front of him called himself Feng Xi, Jiang Tongyue felt completely relieved and immediately invited Feng Xi with a kind look.

"Xinghai Merchant Alliance! You are actually from Xinghai Merchant Alliance!?"

When Feng Xi heard this, his voice suddenly became louder, and he asked in a tone half surprised and half puzzled.

Although the Star Sea Merchant Alliance was established not long ago and only has branches around Tianxing City, even the many monsters in the outer star sea have heard of the name of the Star Sea Merchant Alliance.

All this is because the Xinghai Business Alliance is able to take out a large number of top-level spirit stones to trade for high-level spirit stones.

You know, in the human world, top-level spirit stones are extremely precious. Even the dragon clan in the outer sea does not have top-level spirit stones.

Otherwise, demon cultivators like the Golden Dragon King who were in the late stage of transformation would not have been stuck in the late stage of transformation for so many years.

"Have you heard my story? That's right! I was the one who founded the Xinghai Merchant Alliance. How about it? Fellow Daoist Feng, do you want to join my Xinghai Merchant Alliance?"

Jiang Tongyue was a little surprised to see that Feng Xi actually knew about the Xinghai Business Alliance, but she quickly put on a smile and invited Feng Xi.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Jiang, who is a human, actually invited me, a demon, to join the Xinghai Merchant Alliance founded by humans? Do you think I will believe it?"

Feng Xi didn't care about Jiang Tongyue's invitation at all. He even showed a sneer on his face and his tone was very sharp.

If his child was not still in Jiang Tongyue's arms, he would have turned around and left without wasting time talking to Jiang Tongyue.

"I have my reasons for inviting you. What I like is that the Wind-Splitting Beast Clan can brew the Jade Flame Wine. I heard that the Jade Flame Wine of the Wind-Splitting Beast Clan not only tastes great, but can also help people break through their cultivation. If you can join our Xinghai Merchant Alliance, you can get a top-grade spirit stone at the beginning, and you can get a top-grade spirit stone every ten years as a reward."

It was rare that Jiang Tongyue patiently explained to Feng Xi and even offered a generous reward.

"Oh? If I join the Xinghai Merchant Alliance, can I really get a top-level spirit stone immediately, and another top-level spirit stone as a reward every ten years?"

After hearing what Jiang Tongyue said, Risk narrowed his eyes and asked Jiang Tongyue. His words seemed to be really moved by the conditions offered by Jiang Tongyue.

"Of course, for Jiang, top-level spirit stones are nothing!"

Seeing Feng Xi's tone softening a little, Jiang Tongyue naturally answered Feng Xi with great affirmation.

"But I refuse! What I, Feng Xi, like to do most is to say 'no' to those who are stronger than me. What's more, as a member of the Wind-Splitting Beast Clan, I yearn for freedom and will not join the Xinghai Merchant Alliance and be controlled by others."

Feng Xi's expression changed and he rejected Jiang Tongyue without hesitation.

"It seems that Brother Feng is going to drink a forfeit if he refuses to accept my toast?"

Seeing that Feng Xi rejected him so decisively, Jiang Tongyue couldn't help but frown and threatened Feng Xi.

"If you want to threaten me, please don't say anything. With my speed of flight, even if you are a great cultivator in the late stage, you will not be able to stop me."

Feng Xi didn't care about Jiang Tongyue's threat at all. Although the speed of the Wind-Splitting Beast Clan was not among the top ten among the Chaos Star Sea Monster Clan, it was also very fast.

With Feng Xi's ninth level cultivation, his escape speed is fast enough to easily get rid of ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivators.

Unless, the opponent is also good at escaping speed.

"In that case, you can go and die. I will train your child well."

Jiang Tongyue sneered, stretched out his finger and pointed, and suddenly a dazzling sword light burst out and shot towards Feng Xi.

The speed of the flying sword surprised Feng Xi, a member of the Wind-Splitting Beast Clan. A pair of wings appeared behind him, and he fluttered gently, and his figure appeared a hundred meters away. "As expected of a member of the Wind-Splitting Beast Clan, your speed is really amazing. Unfortunately, you met me! Today, I will let you see my true strength!"

Seeing Feng Xi's amazing escape speed, Jiang Tongyue chuckled, casually set up a restriction to trap the Wind-Splitting Beast cub in his hand, and then turned into a golden light and flew towards Feng Xi.

Jiang Tongyue’s current strength is almost as strong as that of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and even his escape speed is the same.

It can be said that in today's human world, it is almost non-existent for cultivators or demon cultivators to escape from Jiang Tongyue.

Feng Xi was also shocked by Jiang Tongyue's speed. He turned around and ran without hesitation, not even caring about his child.

Compared to your own children, your own life is more important.

However, even though Feng Xi exerted his racial characteristics to the extreme and his speed reached the fastest in his life, he could not get rid of Jiang Tongyue's figure.

On the contrary, the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, which made Feng Xi feel despair in his heart.

Soon, Jiang Tongyue caught up with Feng Xi and attacked him mercilessly. With just one strike, Feng Xi, a ninth-level demon cultivator, was seriously injured.

"Fellow Daoist! I admit defeat. I am willing to join the Xinghai Merchant Alliance. I hope you can spare my life!"

Seeing Jiang Tongyue continue to attack him, Feng Xi's heart was broken and he quickly begged for mercy from Jiang Tongyue.

"Oh? Didn't Fellow Daoist Feng Xi not want to join our Xinghai Merchant Alliance? What's more, now that I have captured your child, the worst that can happen is that I can just slowly train your child."

Seeing Feng Xi begging for mercy, Jiang Tongyue did not continue attacking and asked Feng Xi with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't want to join any faction, but then again, Brother Jiang is so kind, how can I refuse? As for my child, although he can also brew Green Flame Wine, he must at least advance to the Formation Stage. I can brew Green Flame Wine for Brother Jiang now."

Feng Xi swallowed the blood in his throat, and then spoke to Jiang Tongyue in a seemingly sincere tone.

Hatred is valuable, but freedom is more valuable.

If it is for the sake of life, both can be thrown away!

Even among the human race's Nascent Soul cultivators, it is not uncommon for them to abandon their companions and live alone at the critical moment of life and death.

Because it is too difficult for cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Not to mention, the time required for the demon race to advance to the transformation stage is several times or even dozens of times longer than that required by human cultivators.

"Since Fellow Daoist Feng Xi wants to join our Xinghai Merchant Alliance so much, then I will fulfill Fellow Daoist Feng Xi's sincere wish. Come, Fellow Daoist Feng Xi, this is the Conferred God List. Fellow Daoist only needs to imprint one tenth of his soul on the Conferred God List, and he will become a member of our Xinghai Merchant Alliance."

Seeing that Feng Xi really wanted to join the Xinghai Merchant Alliance, Jiang Tongyue finally put a smile on her face again.

Then, Jiang Tongyue took out the List of Gods from the storage bag and spread it out in front of Feng Xi.

Feng Xi looked at the familiar names on the List of Gods and his mouth twitched, but he still honestly imprinted his soul on the List of Gods.

Jiang Tongyue’s List of Gods suddenly welcomed the first demon cultivator.

"That's right. From now on, Fellow Daoist Feng Xi is a member of our Xinghai Merchant Alliance. This top-grade spirit stone is your reward."

Jiang Tongyue looked at the name of the Merchant Alliance on the List of Conferred Gods with satisfaction, then took the List of Conferred Gods back, took out a top-level spirit stone, and handed it to Feng Xi.

"Thank you... Thank you, Alliance Master. I have no way to repay you for your kindness."

Seeing that Jiang Tongyue actually rewarded him with a top-level spirit stone, Feng Xi was stunned and even felt flattered.

"That's as it should be. By the way, Feng Xi, I wonder if the Green Flame Wine brewed by your Wind-Splitting Beast Clan can work for cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization stages?"

Jiang Tongyue waved her hand nonchalantly and then asked Feng Xi again.

"To the leader, brewing the Jade Flame Wine not only requires many rare spiritual medicines, but also requires the demon core of the demon cultivators in the transformation stage. The brewed Jade Flame Wine is not very useful for Yuanying cultivators."

Feng Xi put away the top-level spirit stone, then clasped his hands together and answered Jiang Tongyue respectfully.

"Hmm...if I use the Spiritualization Stage Demon Pill to brew the Green Flame Wine, will the effect be improved?"

Jiang Tongyue pondered for a moment, then asked Feng Xi again.

“A demon pill from the Spiritual Transformation Stage! If one can use a demon pill from the Spiritual Transformation Stage to brew Green Flame Wine, the effect will naturally increase several times. It will be of great benefit to not only Nascent Soul cultivators, but also Spiritual Transformation cultivators. However, in this case, the requirements for various spiritual medicines will also be higher.”

When Feng Xi heard that Jiang Tongyue actually had a demon pill of the God Transformation Stage in his hand, he was suddenly startled, but his face became more obedient.

He couldn't understand. There were no demon cultivators at the God Transformation Stage in the current Chaos Star Sea. Where did Jiang Tongyue get the demon pill for the God Transformation Stage?

Moreover, Jiang Tongyue has a demon pill of the God Transformation Stage in his hand, which means that Jiang Tongyue, or the forces behind Jiang Tongyue, have the power to kill a demon cultivator of the God Transformation Stage.

"In that case, then you should concentrate on brewing the Jade Flame Wine for me. I will reward you generously for every batch of Jade Flame Wine you brew."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Jiang Tongyue immediately showed a slight smile on her face.

In this way, he could reward his disciples with the brewed Bi Yan wine.

After being returned by the system, the effect of the Green Flame Wine is increased a hundredfold, and it can even allow a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage to quickly improve his cultivation.

It was also for this reason that Jiang Tongyue only taught Feng Xi a lesson instead of killing him.

Technical talents like Feng Xi are welcome no matter where they are.

It would be such a waste just to kill it and get some materials, demon pills, etc.

Jiang Tongyue has never liked wasting food. He would usually eat every grain of rice in the bowl.

"Yes, Lord, I will serve you till my death."

Feng Xi didn't care about Jiang Tongyue's empty promises at all. Now he was extremely grateful that his family was good at brewing Biyan wine.

If it were any other cultivator, they would have killed him long ago, used the demon pill to make pills, added the demon soul to magic weapons, and used the wings to refine magic weapons.

Thanks to my ancestors, I have the chance to live.
