Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 158: Quick Pass to Xutian Palace
After obtaining the scroll of the Fat Yang Bird from the flower basket monster, Jiang Tongyue spared the other person's life.

After all, he had no grudge against the man with the flower basket, and the other party was only responsible for guarding the island, so there was no need for him to kill him.

Of course, this is based on the other party's knowledge of the current situation. If this flower basket weirdo wants to stop Jiang Tongyue from landing on the island, he will definitely not hold back.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue successfully entered the interior space of the island after breaking the island's protective formation.

"Come out, Xuan Gu, don't embarrass yourself in front of me with your little tricks."

Jiang Tongyue put his hands behind his back, without even looking at the Qixia Lotus in the pond. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly to the skeleton beside the pond.

"Who are you? When did a new Nascent Soul cultivator appear in the Chaos Star Sea?"

Seeing that his disguise was exposed, Master Xuan Gu no longer pretended, controlled the dry bones, and slowly stood up.

Even though there are countless monster resources in the Chaos Star Sea, it is not so easy to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage.

There are countless Nascent Soul cultivators who, even after their lifespans are exhausted, cannot make any further progress in their cultivation, let alone break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

He had only been trapped on this island for more than three hundred years, but in the Chaos Star Sea, a late Nascent Soul cultivator whom he was unfamiliar with was promoted, which really puzzled him.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Jiang Tongyue, the leader of Xinghai Merchant Alliance. I came to look for Daoist Xuan Gu this time because of the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng in Xutian Palace. I hope Daoist can tell me."

Jiang Tongyue did not answer Master Xuan Gu's doubts, but introduced himself calmly.

Master Xuan Gu's face changed when he heard this. He had not told anyone else the news about the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng. He didn't know where Jiang Tongyue got the news from.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng is at this location in the Xutian Palace..."

After hesitating for a while, Master Xuan Gu told Jiang Tongyue the place where the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng appeared.

No matter what, Jiang Tongyue is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, an existence that cannot be provoked even at his peak.

Now, if he rejected Jiang Tongyue's words, the worst that could happen was that the other party would search his soul directly to find the information about the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

"Very good, thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Gu. Since you told me the news about the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, I will release you. We owe each other nothing."

After Jiang Tongyue received the news about the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng, he did not plan to stay for long. He bowed to Master Xuan Gu and turned around and left.

As for the matter between Master Xuan Gu and Old Demon Ji Yin, Jiang Tongyue had no intention of interfering, leaving this pair of strict master and filial disciple to love and hate each other on their own.

Similarly, he was not worried that Master Xuan Gu would deceive him, because Master Xuan Gu could not afford the price.

Not long after, Jiang Tongyue returned to Xinghai Island. After the system's return cooled down, Jiang Tongyue directly gave the Zhiyang Bird scroll as a reward to Zi Ling.

The system also successfully returned a higher quality scroll, which contained a complete Zhiyang bird.

With the Zhiyang Bird scroll returned by the system in hand, even if you encounter an evil ghost in the late Nascent Soul stage, it will be devoured by the Zhiyang Bird in it.

Speaking of which, Jiang Tongyue already has quite a few ghost killers in his hands, including seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, a Crying Soul, and the Zhiyang Bird scroll that was just returned.

The Crying Soul was originally carried by the young master of Qingyang Sect, and after being subdued by the Old Demon Sanyang, Jiang Tongyue gave it a casual hint, and the Old Demon Sanyang handed over the Crying Soul with both hands.

And this weeping soul had been bestowed upon Han Li by Jiang Tongyue a long time ago. After the weeping soul was returned, its magical powers greatly increased. Even the evil spirits in the late Nascent Soul stage would become its food.

It can be said that Jiang Tongyue is now the nemesis of all evil spirits.

After completing the return, Jiang Tongyue continued to practice in seclusion. One day after a few years of seclusion, the Xutian Map in Jiang Tongyue's storage bag moved unusually, and the Xutian Palace opened.

Jiang Tongyue did not hesitate at all and took several of his disciples to participate in this Xutian Palace event.

Because of Jiang Tongyue's butterfly effect, the Xutian Palace this time was missing Nascent Soul cultivators such as Man Huzi and Wan Tianming.

Man Huzi and Wan Tianming have both broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, so naturally they are not planning to continue participating in Xutian Palace.

However, Wan Tianming and others did not come to participate in the Xutian Palace. Instead, other Nascent Soul cultivators from the demonic and righteous paths came to participate in the Xutian Palace this time.

However, these Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but secretly groan in their hearts after seeing Jiang Tongyue and his many disciples.

Throughout the Chaos Star Sea, everyone knows that Jiang Tongyue’s disciples are very powerful. Those who have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage are no less powerful than the great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Not to mention the even stronger Jiang Tongyue. Decades ago, Jiang Tongyue defeated four late-stage great monks with one move.

Today, Jiang Tongyue is a living legend in the Chaos Star Sea, and no one dares to offend the monks of the Star Sea Merchant Alliance.

Even though the Twin Saints of Tianxing had advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage, they were still very wary of Jiang Tongyue and did not want to become his enemy.

After all, even though a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage is powerful, he is still limited by the thin vitality in the human world. Every time he attacks with all his strength, he will consume his lifespan.

What's more, Jiang Tongyue's strength is not necessarily weaker than the two saints of Tianxing who have advanced to the God Transformation Stage.

As for Wan Sangu, who had also advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage, she had already been subdued by Jiang Tongyue and did not dare to betray Jiang Tongyue at all.

Therefore, the current Xinghai Merchant Alliance is the undisputed overlord in the Chaos Star Sea, even the Xing Palace cannot compare to it.

Because of the advance preparations, these checkpoints in Xutian Palace were nothing to Jiang Tongyue and his disciples.

In the first level's land of ghosts and wronged souls, the numerous wronged souls inside are nothing compared to Jiang Tongyue, who possesses the Crying Soul, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, and the Zhiyang Bird Scroll.

For some reasons, Jiang Tongyue did not let the wronged souls and evil spirits in this level be devoured by the weeping souls.

The strongest of these wronged souls in the Land of Ghosts is only equivalent to the late Jindan level. Even if they are all devoured by the Ti Hun, the Ti Hun will not be able to improve much.

Therefore, Jiang Tongyue planned to reward his disciples after gaining control of the restrictions in the Xutian Palace.

With the system's hundredfold return, even the wronged souls and evil spirits in this land of ghosts will be able to greatly increase their strength. By that time, even the wronged souls and evil spirits in the Spirit Transformation Stage will be able to exist.

At that time, not only will the Crying Soul and the Fat Yang Bird be able to eat their fill, but their strength will also be greatly improved.

After passing through the Land of Ghosts, Jiang Tongyue also came to the second-level space through the teleportation array. According to the location told to him by Master Xuan Gu, he successfully captured the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng.

After capturing the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng, Jiang Tongyue was not in a hurry to return it, but came to the entrance of the Ice and Fire Road and waited.

When the time came, Jiang Tongyue chose the lava road. After all, there were iron fire ants in the lava road. Jiang Tongyue was also very jealous of the refining crystal that could enhance the magic weapon, so he naturally couldn't miss it.

As for the iron fire ants in the lava road, they can only be released if the Nascent Soul Elder of the Star Palace activates the restrictions in the lava road.

Originally, the two Nascent Soul elders of the Star Palace did not want to strengthen the restrictions in the Ice and Fire Dao and release the Iron Fire Ants to increase the difficulty.

However, Jiang Tongyue actually sent them a message, asking them to activate the restrictions in the Ice and Fire Road and release the Iron Fire Ants.

In response to this, the two Nascent Soul elders of the Xing Palace looked puzzled, but still did as they were told.

After all, they couldn't afford to offend Jiang Tongyue in front of them, and Jiang Tongyue also successfully met the fire ants in the lava road.

Although the fire ants in the lava road are terrifying, they are unlucky and happen to run into Jiang Tongyue who has gold-eating bugs, and can only become the food of the gold-eating bugs.

Almost half of the fire ants in the entire lava road were devoured by gold-eating bugs, leaving only a small number of fire ants.

This was the case when Jiang Tongyue held back. He didn't want the Iron Fire Ants to be wiped out, otherwise he would have nowhere to find refining crystals.

After passing the Ice and Fire Road, Jiang Tongyue and several of his disciples also entered a pavilion.

After a short rest, four passages appeared in this pavilion, three of which led to pavilions containing rewards such as "skills", "pills", and "ancient treasures".

As for the fourth channel, there is no reward and you go directly to the next level.

There are no clear clues for these four channels. Whether you can choose which reward or go directly to the next level depends entirely on your luck.

Jiang Tongyue's luck was pretty good. Although she did not choose the ancient treasure, she did choose the pavilion where the elixirs were stored.

After selecting a bottle of elixir, Jiang Tongyue was teleported to the next level and reunited with Han Li and others.

At this time, Jiang Tongyue checked the bottle of medicine he had obtained, and found that it was an ancient medicine called "Ningshen Pills".

The Soul-Concentrating Pill is a well-known existence in the Chaos Star Sea. It can not only greatly enhance the strength of the immortal cultivator's soul, but also repair the damage to the soul.

However, this Soul-Concentrating Pill is extremely precious, the recipe has been lost long ago, and even those magical medicines have become extinct.

Nowadays, the finished pills of the Soul-Concentrating Pill can only be obtained from the Xutian Palace, and the quantity is extremely scarce.

Jiang Tongyue didn't expect that his luck was so good that he could get a whole bottle of Ningshen Pills.

Although, there are only three mind-concentrating pills in this medicine.

Jiang Tongyue casually gave the bottle of Mind-Concentrating Pills directly to Zi Ling as a reward, and the system immediately returned him a bottle of Mind-Concentrating Pills that surpassed the immortal level.

The Soul-Concentrating Pills returned by the system can not only strengthen the cultivator's soul several times, but also repair the origin of the cultivator's soul and all damage to the soul.

This made Jiang Tongyue's eyes light up. It was like hitting the pillow when you are sleepy. He was worried about the matter of Lord Dayan, and now he came across the Ningshen Pill.

After the battle in Xutian Palace is over, we can let Lord Dayan try out whether this Ningshen Pill, which surpasses the immortal grade, is effective.

After a period of time, the next level of the wonderful illusion of Xutian Palace began. This level also could not stop Jiang Tongyue and his disciples.

After passing through the wonderful illusion, everyone finally arrived at the stone hall in the center of the entire Xutian Palace.

At this time, besides Jiang Tongyue and several of his disciples, there were only two Nascent Soul elders from the Star Palace left.

As for the other Nascent Soul cultivators, they were not planning to enter the inner hall to participate in the fight for the most precious treasure in the Chaos Star Sea, the Xutian Ding.

After all, they all knew their own limitations and knew that they could not take out the Xu Tian Ding. Even if they did, it would be taken away by others.

Jiang Tongyue and several of his disciples came directly to the fifth floor of the stone palace, where the "Hanlitai" with the Xutian Ding and Qianlan Bingyan was placed.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue obtained the map of Xutian Palace according to Han Li's experience in the original book, and then Jiang Tongyue officially began to take the tripod.

Jiang Tongyue's two spiritual pets, the ancient white jade spiders, have now become level seven peak-level monsters under Jiang Tongyue's careful training.

It only takes about ten more years of practice to be ready to overcome the transformation tribulation and break through to become an eighth-level demon beast.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Jiang Tongyue planned to wait until he broke through the God Transformation Stage, and then go to Beiye Xiaoji Palace to look for the cold marrow that could increase the monster's chances of surviving the tribulation.

He has too many spiritual pets, including the Purple Flame Dragon Lion, the Ancient One, the White Jade Spider, nine Golden-backed Mantises, and fifty Netherworld Dragons.

Once these spirit pets advance to the transformation stage, even the top forces in Dajin will be terrified.

Under the terrifying power of the two ancient white jade spiders, the Xutian Ding was quickly taken out of the Qianlan Ice Flame.

As for the Bu Tian Pill and several ancient treasures that flew out of the Xu Tian Ding, they fell into Jiang Tongyue's hands.

Jiang Tongyue gave the Bu Tian Pill to Xin Ruyin as a reward. As for the other ancient treasures, except for the wolf-headed jade ruyi containing the silver moon, they were all rewarded to several disciples by Jiang Tongyue.

After being returned, the Bu Tian Dan, with the system's hundredfold blessing, can not only greatly increase the cultivation speed of the immortal cultivator.

The most important thing is that after being returned, this Bu Tian Pill can actually replenish the five elements of the immortal cultivator's spiritual roots and gain a physique called "Five Elements Dao Body".

Immortal cultivators who possess the Five Elements Taoist body not only have all five elements spiritual roots, their cultivation speed is no less than that of natural spiritual roots, and their understanding of various Five Elements skills, spells and magical powers will also be improved to a terrifying level.

This naturally made Jiang Tongyue very happy. You know, he was having a headache trying to complete his five elements spiritual roots.

After all, not to mention advancing to the Spirit Transformation Stage, in order to break through to the Void Refinement Stage, the five elements need to be unified.

The Five-Colored Divine Light Secret in Jiang Tongyue's hand also requires the completion of the five elements of spiritual roots before it can be practiced.

After putting the Xu Tian Ding and the blue bead transformed from the Qianlan Ice Flame into the storage bag, Jiang Tongyue prepared to get the Soul-Nourishing Tree, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation.

In this way, this Xutian Palace copy finally ended.

PS: Brothers, I won’t write about the Xutian Palace copy in detail, just make a transition. After all, the many levels of Xutian Palace are nothing.
