Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Through the teleportation array on the Holy Mountain of Tianxing City, Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin were directly teleported to the Silver Shark Island in the outer sea.

Biling Island was named Biling Island after the high-level spirit stone vein was discovered.

Before this, this island was just an unknown and lonely island in the sea of ​​stars. Because there was no spiritual vein, even the monsters disdained this barren island.

Therefore, there is no information about Biling Island on the sea maps circulating on the market today.

However, Jiang Tongyue knew that Biling Island was just north of Yinsha Island. Even if Han Li had the Wind and Thunder Wings, it would take him nearly twenty days of flying to get there.

Therefore, if Jiang Tongyue wanted to find Biling Island, he could only go north from Yinsha Island and search for those barren islands without spiritual veins along the way.

Fortunately, although Biling Island does not have any spiritual veins like other islands, this island is very large and is almost larger than Tianxing Island in the Inner Star Sea.

Moreover, there are many mountains thousands of feet high on Biling Island, which makes Jiang Tongyue abandon most of the island.

In this way, Jiang Tongyue took his disciple Xin Ruyin and flew all the way north, exploring the mountains along the way.

The deeper they went, the more monsters there were in the sea, and many monsters attacked Jiang Tongyue and the others along the way.

However, these monsters are all below level six. Level six monsters have already developed some intelligence and can see that Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin are Nascent Soul cultivators. Naturally, they will not come up to die.

Finally, after flying for nearly a month, Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin finally arrived at a dry island that was almost as big as Tianxing Island.

Not only is there no spiritual energy on this barren island, but the entire island is the color of rocks, with only a few sparse vegetation.

What is even more surprising is that there are several mountains on this island that are thousands of feet high and reach the clouds.

Although the exploration of the island has not yet begun, Jiang Tongyue has a hunch that this island is the Biling Island that Jiang Tongyue has been thinking about.

"Ruyin, please don't move around here. I will go explore the island first."

After Jiang Tongyue gave a few instructions to Xin Ruyin beside him, he turned into a golden light and flew towards a huge mountain on the island.

Arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Jiang Tongyue directly summoned the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Gourd, which transformed into endless sword light and opened up a passage about ten feet in size.

In this way, Jiang Tongyue continued to open up a passage downwards. In less than an hour, Jiang Tongyue had opened up a passage several miles deep.

Finally, after the passage opened by Jiang Tongyue reached a certain depth, extremely pure spiritual energy suddenly burst out.

This spiritual energy is extremely pure and cannot be compared with ordinary top-grade spiritual veins. The deeper you dig, the purer the spiritual energy will become.

The corners of Jiang Tongyue's mouth began to rise. It was even harder to suppress than an AK47.

Next, Jiang Tongyue only needs to work with Xin Ruyin to set up a formation on the island and they will be able to occupy it.

Then, he only needs to reward this island to his disciple, and the system will be able to return him a higher quality spirit stone vein.

The spiritual stone veins in Biling Island can produce top-grade spiritual stones at most. After being returned by the system, the spiritual stone veins can produce low-grade immortal stones at most!
Just thinking about it, Jiang Tongyue felt extremely excited, and she wished she could occupy the island immediately and then reward it to her disciples.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Tongyue took out a set of formations from his storage bag and hid the entrance to the passage he had opened.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue came to Xin Ruyin and instructed her, "Ruyin, I'll trouble you to set up a formation on this island. The stronger the formation, the better."

"Yes, Master."

Although Xin Ruyin didn't know why Jiang Tongyue asked her to set up a formation on this island without any spiritual energy, she didn't ask, but agreed immediately.

Then, after Xin Ruyin pondered for a moment, he took out a large amount of materials from his storage bag and began to set up a formation on the island.

Fortunately, she already knew that she would need to set up a formation for this trip, so she brought a lot of materials with her when she set off.

Jiang Tongyue was also not idle, assisting Xin Ruyin in setting up the formation.

However, the area of ​​this island is so large that it is almost larger than Tianxing Island. Even though Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin are already Yuanying stage cultivators, it still took them years to barely set up a large formation called "Gangfeng Bihai Formation" on this island.

This "Gangfeng Blue Sea Formation" is a very amazing formation with amazing defensive power, and it can only be broken by a cultivator who has reached the Divine Transformation stage.

At the same time, this Gangfeng Blue Sea Formation can also control fierce gale and endless waves to attack the enemy, so it can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

The power of the Gangfeng Blue Sea Formation is so amazing that the materials required are naturally also amazing.

Even Jiang Tongyue, who came from a wealthy family, felt the pain.

However, all these sacrifices were worth it because he obtained a top-level spirit stone vein, and was able to receive higher quality spirit stone veins in return through the system.

"Ruyin, you have worked so hard to set up this Strong Wind and Blue Sea Formation over the past year."

Jiang Tongyue looked at the Strong Wind and Blue Sea Array that enveloped the entire Biling Island and couldn't help but speak to Xin Ruyin beside him.

"This is nothing, Master. With my current cultivation level, it is not difficult to set up this formation."

Xin Ruyin shook her head and responded to Jiang Tongyue with a smile.

"Ruyin, continue to set up a teleportation array on this island. This way, we don't have to worry about having to use the teleportation array in Tianxing City the next time we go to the outer sea."

Jiang Tongyue continued to give instructions to Xin Ruyin.

Xin Ruyin nodded, then took out the materials needed to set up a teleportation array and set up a teleportation array on the island.

After Xin Ruyin set up the teleportation array, Jiang Tongyue took Xin Ruyin and left the island, flying towards Silver Shark Island.

A month later, Jiang Tongyue and Xin Ruyin returned to Silver Shark Island, and returned to the Inner Star Sea through the teleportation array on Silver Shark Island.

Jiang Tongyue did not stay in Tianxing City for long. He took Xin Ruyin and left Tianxing City directly and returned to Xinghai Island.

After returning to Xinghai Island, Xin Ruyin set up another teleportation array and connected it to the one on Biling Island.

In this way, if Jiang Tongyue plans to go to the outer sea, he can teleport directly through this teleportation array, without having to go to Tianxing City first and then teleport to the outer sea through the teleportation array of Tianxing City as before.

After setting up the teleportation array, Xin Ruyin returned to her own residence.

Jiang Tongyue did not intend to reward his disciples with the spiritual stone vein on Biling Island right now. He planned to wait until he broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage and the system's return multiple was increased before returning the money.

In this way, with the blessing of a higher return multiplier, this top-level spirit stone vein can return better spirit stone veins.

After all, top-level spirit stone mines like the one on Biling Island that have not yet been mined are extremely rare, so naturally any improvement would be appreciated.

In the following time, Jiang Tongyue has been practicing in seclusion on Xinghai Island. With the help of the Sixth-Rank Lotus Platform, the Thousand-foot Spirit Eye Spring, and the Golden Spirit Pearl, his cultivation has made rapid progress.

After Jiang Tongyue had been in seclusion for two years, Master Kuxuan finally brought him a great piece of news. All the materials needed to refine a late Nascent Soul puppet were finally gathered.

Although the materials gathered were only enough for Jiang Tongyue to refine a late Nascent Soul puppet, it still made Jiang Tongyue satisfied.

Each of the materials needed to refine a puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage is extremely precious. If a cultivator does not have amazing luck, he will not be able to collect them all in his lifetime.

Fortunately, although Jiang Tongyue does not have the enviable luck of Han Li, he has more powerful money ability.

He only needs to offer a price high enough to attract people's attention, so that those cultivators who possess these materials will be tempted and will naturally bring the materials that Jiang Tongyue needs.

However, even so, it took the Xinghai Business Alliance several years to collect all the materials for Jiang Tongyue.

What surprised Jiang Tongyue was that Master Kuxuan actually found a young jade oak tree for him.

The jade oak is a sacred wood of heaven and earth, and is extremely rare. Its jade rubber, which only condenses once every thousand years, is an excellent material for refining puppets.

Jiang Tongyue wants to refine a puppet in the late Nascent Soul stage, so this jade rubber is also indispensable.

Jiang Tongyue was naturally very happy that Master Kuxuan was able to find a young jade rubber for her.

With this young jade oak tree, Jiang Tongyue can use the Palm of Heaven Bottle in his hand to continuously promote the growth of the jade oak tree and obtain a steady supply of jade oak trees.

In this way, if Jiang Tongyue wants to refine a late Nascent Soul puppet, he only needs to search for other materials. It can be said that this saves a lot of trouble.

Jiang Tongyue decided to reward Master Kuxuan well.

"Very good, very good! Ku Xuan, you found the jade oak seedling for me, which makes me very satisfied. I must reward you handsomely. You should accept these ten top-grade spirit stones first. As for the one in this bottle, it is a Devil Refining Tianyuan Pill, which can allow you to advance to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

This time, Jiang Tongyue not only took out ten top-level spirit stones, but also took out a returned Demonic Refining Tianyuan Pill and directly rewarded it to Master Kuxuan.

Jiang Tongyue did not plan to use the Demonic Refining Tianyuan Pill to break through to the God Transformation stage. In addition, Master Kuxuan had already cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage, so it was natural for him to reward the Demonic Refining Tianyuan Pill to Master Kuxuan.

If Master Ku Xuan could break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, he would also be able to do more things for Jiang Tongyue.

As for whether Master Kuxuan would betray Jiang Tongyue after breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, Jiang Tongyue didn't care at all.

Not to mention that his combat power is not weaker than that of a Divine Transformation cultivator, one tenth of Master Ku Xuan's soul is on the List of Gods, so it is impossible for him to betray him.

"Thank you for the reward, Young Master! Being able to work for you is a blessing that I have cultivated for ten lifetimes!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Master Ku Xuan was still shocked by Jiang Tongyue's reward. He became excited and became more loyal to Jiang Tongyue.

Not to mention those top-level spirit stones, with this Magic Refining Tianyuan Pill, when he cultivates to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage and increase his lifespan by a thousand years.

All of this was rewarded to him by Jiang Tongyue, so he was naturally extremely loyal to Jiang Tongyue.

If it weren't for Jiang Tongyue, he would probably still be lingering in the early Nascent Soul stage. Even if his lifespan was exhausted, he would not be able to break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"Okay, go down and practice first, and strive to advance to the God Transformation stage as soon as possible. Then I will cross your name off the Conferred God List."

Jiang Tongyue waved towards Master Kuxuan and made a big promise to him.

Although it is a big deal, if Master Kuxuan can really advance to the realm of God Transformation, Jiang Tongyue doesn't mind returning his soul to him.

"No! Young Master, there is no need to do this. It is my honor to have my name on the Conferred God List. I hope you will not cross out my name."

When Master Kuxuan heard this, his expression changed and he spoke to Jiang Tongyue in panic.

Master Ku Xuan knew that only if his name was on the List of Gods would he gain Jiang Tongyue’s absolute trust.

Ever since his name was recorded on the List of Conferred Gods, he had received many rewards, including top-level spirit stones, magic-refined Tianyuan Pills...it could be said that he had everything he needed.

And once his name was crossed out from the List of Gods, he could not guarantee that Jiang Tongyue would be able to trust him.

What's more, he is the first cultivator to have his name on the List of Conferred Gods. If his name continues to remain on the List of Conferred Gods, he will be able to gain even more benefits.

"In that case, your name will always remain on the Conferred God List. I hereby promise that as long as you remain loyal to me, I will take you to witness the scenery of the spirit world and the immortal world!"

After hearing this, Jiang Tongyue looked at Master Kuxuan deeply before making a promise to him.

Master Kuxuan's choice was somewhat beyond his expectations.

After all, although being on the List of Gods can bring many benefits, one will always be controlled by others and have no freedom.

If it were Jiang Tongyue, she would rather give up these benefits and regain her freedom.

After all, didn’t Lu Xun once say that life is precious, but love is more precious, and if it is for freedom, both can be abandoned.

"Yes, young master! I am looking forward to that day!"

Upon hearing this, Master Kuxuan excitedly bowed towards Jiang Tongyue.

Only he himself knew how much he had paid and how much he had lost in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But even so, he still couldn't advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the day of his death was getting closer and closer.

After being subdued by Jiang Tongyue, in just a few decades, he cultivated directly to the late Nascent Soul realm, and even had the hope of becoming a Divine Transformation.

Compared with the benefits gained from being on the List of Gods, what does a little freedom count for?
