Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

It took some time for True Lord Tianfeng to refine this Vajra relic into a Vajra Shield.

The Vajra Shield is a defensive treasure with extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even for a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, it is not easy to break through the defense of the Vajra Shield.

If Jiang Tongyue rewards this Vajra Shield to his disciple, the system will be able to return to him a Vajra Shield that can at least defend against a full-strength attack from an early stage Void Refinement cultivator.

After True Lord Tianfeng completely refined the Vajra Relic into a Vajra Shield, Jiang Tongyue left King Xuanye's tomb.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue came to Jinjing, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, and went directly to the Tianji Pavilion in the Jinxi market.

As soon as Jiang Tongyue stepped into the Tianji Pavilion, a servant came forward and was about to entertain Jiang Tongyue, but was interrupted by a middle-aged man with a higher cultivation level.

"It is an honor for our Tianji Pavilion that you can come to us. The goods on this floor are too crude and difficult to catch your eye. Please go to the third floor."

After sending the servant away, the middle-aged man turned around and spoke to Jiang Tongyue with a respectful look.

Jiang Tongyue nodded upon hearing this, and then followed the middle-aged shopkeeper in front of him and went directly to the third floor of Tianji Pavilion.

The middle-aged shopkeeper first ordered someone to bring tea to Jiang Tongyue, and then asked Jiang Tongyue: "I wonder what materials do you need for visiting our Tianji Pavilion? Our Tianji Pavilion is quite powerful and should be able to provide treasures that satisfy you."

"It's like this. I plan to buy some precious materials. Besides that, I also want to meet the current Pavilion Master of your Tianji Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Shenji."

Jiang Tongyue first told the middle-aged shopkeeper in front of him the materials he needed, and then stated his second request.

"Hiss! The materials you need are no longer within my control. Please wait for a few days. I will inform the Pavilion Master and ask him to receive you."

After hearing about the precious materials that Jiang Tongyue needed, the middle-aged shopkeeper couldn't help but gasp and hurriedly spoke to Jiang Tongyue.

The value of these materials is too high. He is just a small Jindan cultivator and is not qualified to mobilize such precious materials to trade with Jiang Tongyue.

"Alright, I will be staying in Jinjing for a while. If your Pavilion Master comes, I will come back."

Hearing this, Jiang Tongyue nodded, then stood up and left Tianji Pavilion.

After leaving Tianji Pavilion, Jiang Tongyue visited several markets in Jinjing and bought some necessary materials.

A few days later, the head of Tianji Pavilion arrived in Jinjing, and Jiang Tongyue came to Tianji Pavilion for the second time.

"I am Ma Benzai, the head of Tianji Pavilion. I am honored to meet you, Senior. May I know your name?"

An old man who was short in stature and had white hair and beard was startled when he saw Jiang Tongyue, and he hurriedly spoke to Jiang Tongyue respectfully.

Hearing this, the middle-aged shopkeeper beside him was suddenly extremely shocked.

You know, their Pavilion Master is a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage! He also holds a high position in the Great Jin.

However, when their Pavilion Master faced Jiang Tongyue, he actually referred to himself as a junior. Could it be that the person in front of him was actually a Divine Transformation cultivator?
"My name is Jiang Tongyue, I come from Tiannan, nice to meet you, Taoist Shenji."

Bai Ziye smiled gently and introduced himself to the master of Tianji Pavilion.

"What! The senior is actually Senior Jiang from Tiannan! I am truly honored to meet Senior Jiang!"

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's eyes suddenly flashed with shock.

I felt that Jiang Tongyue looked familiar before, but as the head of Tianji Pavilion, I didn't think in that direction.

Because Tiannan is really too far away from Dajin, he couldn't believe that Jiang Tongyue would cross the entire Tianlan grassland and come to Dajin.

"This time I came to the Tianji Pavilion, in addition to collecting those materials, there are two things that need the Pavilion Master's help. The first is for the Pavilion Master's spiritual pet Lingxi Peacock, and the second is for the refining method of the Tianji House..."

Jiang Tongyue didn't care about the shock in the eyes of the Tianji Pavilion Master, but spoke to him with a smile on his face.

At the same time, he was prepared for the lion to ask for a huge reward.

After all, the Lingxi Peacock in the hands of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, although only a sixth-level monster, is the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion’s favorite.

Moreover, the refining method of the Tianji House is the secret of the Tianji Pavilion.

The leader of Tianji Pavilion might not be willing to trade it, but even if he did, Jiang Tongyue would still have to pay a huge price.

As for Master Xu of the Tuwu tribe, it was only because Jiang Tongyue had the colorful grass that could give birth to gold-eating insects that he was able to obtain Master Xu's spiritual peacock at a very small cost.

As expected, after hearing Jiang Tongyue's words, the head of Tianji Pavilion's expression suddenly became uncertain.

After all, Jiang Tongyue's words were extremely bold. If Jiang Tongyue was not a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion would have asked Jiang Tongyue to leave.

"Of course, I will not take your Tianji House's refining method and the Lingxi Peacock for nothing. Fellow Daoist Shenji, just open your mouth. As for top-level spiritual stones and high-level monster corpses, as long as the price is right, Jiang will naturally offer them with both hands."

Jiang Tongyue added to the head of Tianji Pavilion with a smile on her face.

Hearing this, the changeable expression on the face of the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion immediately disappeared, leaving only a smile as warm as spring breeze.

Tianji Pavilion itself conducts transactions with various forces. If the price is right, Tianji House's refining method and Lingxi Peacock can be sold.

Not to mention, if he refused Jiang Tongyue, he would be completely offending Jiang Tongyue, a Divine Transformation cultivator.

You know, Jiang Tongyue advanced to the Divine Transformation stage in less than two hundred years, so he still has nearly two thousand years of life left.

Having offended such a Divine Transformation cultivator, their Tianji Pavilion could be disbanded on the spot.

So, in the following period of time, the leader of Tianji Pavilion started to trade with Jiang Tongyue and called out a sky-high price.

Jiang Tongyue would naturally not agree with the price asked by the master of Tianji Pavilion. After all, he said at the beginning that as long as the price was right, he would not come here to be a sucker.

Soon, after Jiang Tongyue and the head of Tianji Pavilion bid a lot of money and paid the money on the ground, the deal was finally reached happily.

Jiang Tongyue successfully obtained the Tianji House refining method of the Tianji Pavilion, as well as the spiritual pet Lingxi Peacock of the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.

After completing the transaction, Jiang Tongyue left Jinjing and headed towards an island in Dajin.

Not long after, Jiang Tongyue arrived outside the island called Kuzhu Island.

Kuzhu Island is well-known in the entire Dajin Immortal Cultivation World. Not only does it have a sacred tree called Tiansang, which is second only to the three sacred trees in the Immortal Cultivation World, but its owner, Old Man Kuzhu, is also a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. With the help of the Ten Thousand Trees Formation on the island, he can even fight against cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

Jiang Tongyue came here just for the sacred Tiansang tree on Kuzhu Island. As a spiritual tree second only to the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation, the sacred Tiansang tree is also quite extraordinary.

If Jiang Tongyue could obtain a seedling of the Tiansang sacred tree and return it through the system, even if the Immortal Root Sacred Tree could not be returned, the quality would be much higher than the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation.

Just like during the years of seclusion in the Blood Forbidden Land, Jiang Tongyue would occasionally grow spiritual plants such as the Ten Thousand Year Iron Wood and the Ten Thousand Year Ghost Wood as a reward.

Although the spiritual plants after being returned are not as high as the immortal roots and sacred trees like the Five-Colored Glazed Tree and the Jianmu World Tree, their level is still more precious than the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation.

For example, after a whole ten thousand year old ironwood tree is returned, the spiritual wood seedling will also grow to a ten thousand year old tree age, and its hardness can be a hundred times that of the ten thousand year old ironwood.

This kind of spiritual wood is more than enough to be used to refine a puppet in the Void Refinement Stage.

Standing outside Kuzhu Island, Jiang Tongyue's eyes burst into dazzling golden light, and the restriction on Kuzhu Island suddenly had no effect on Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue easily saw that in a secret room on Kuzhu Island, there was a very young cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, who was meditating and practicing.

At this moment, old man Kuzhu, who was practicing in seclusion in the secret room, suddenly felt a sense of being spied on. This made him open his eyes, look around, and even release his spiritual sense to investigate.

"Fellow Daoist Kuzhu, my name is Jiang Tongyue. I come from the south of the sky and come to visit you."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in the ears of old man Kuzhu, which startled him.

Suddenly, old man Kuzhu ignored the anger in his heart, and immediately stood up and left the secret room, rushing towards the direction of Jiang Tongyue outside Kuzhu Island.

"I am the elder Kuzhu, honored to meet you, Senior Jiang. It is a great honor for Kuzhu Island that you have come to visit us!"

Not long after, old man Kuzhu appeared in front of Jiang Tongyue and saluted towards him with a reluctant look.

"No, no, Jiang has come here uninvited. I hope Fellow Daoist Kuzhu will not blame me!"

Jiang Tongyue spoke to old man Kuzhu with a smile on her face.

"Senior, please come with me."

Old Man Kuzhu made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Tongyue, and then took Jiang Tongyue into the interior of Kuzhu Island.

Under the guidance of Old Man Kuzhu, the two soon came to a living room on Kuzhu Island. Old Man Kuzhu also ordered people to serve mulberry wood tea to Jiang Tongyue.

The so-called mulberry tea is a kind of magical tea specially made from the magical leaves of the sacred mulberry tree. It has the effect of improving eyesight and purifying the mind.

Jiang Tongyue also tasted the mulberry tea in front of him slowly. After a while, he said, "To be honest, fellow Daoist Kuzhu, the reason I came to Kuzhu Island is to obtain the seedlings of the sacred mulberry tree, or a piece of rhizome."

For Jiang Tongyue who possesses the Palm of Heaven Bottle, he only needs to obtain the roots of the Tiansang sacred tree to grow a new Tiansang sacred tree.

Of course, it would be even better if we could obtain the seedlings of the Tiansang sacred tree.

"You have come to the right place, Senior. I just happened to cultivate a seedling of the sacred Tiansang tree a few years ago."

Upon learning that Jiang Tongyue came only for the seedlings of the Tiansang sacred tree, old man Kuzhu immediately felt relieved, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Originally, he planned to accumulate enough spirit stones and then go to the Xinghai Merchant Alliance in Tiannan to exchange them for top-level spirit stones.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Tongyue actually came to Dajin, which saved him a lot of time and reduced some unnecessary dangers.

After all, there is an entire Tianlan grassland between Dajin and Tiannan, and the Tuwu people and Mulan people there often engage in shocking battles. If one is not careful, even a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage is in danger of dying.

"That couldn't be better. I would like to ask Daoist Kuzhu to give up the young sapling of the sacred Tiansang tree. Jiang will definitely not let Daoist Kuzhu down."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tongyue smiled and said to old man Kuzhu.

"Please wait for a moment, Senior. I will go and get the sapling of the sacred Tiansang tree."

Upon hearing this, old man Kuzhu immediately stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Jiang Tongyue. After saying something, he left the living room.

Not long after, old man Kuzhu returned to the living room with a sapling of the sacred Tiansang tree that emitted purple light.

"Senior, this is the seedling of the Tiansang sacred tree. Please take a look."

Afterwards, old man Kuzhu handed the sapling of the sacred Tiansang tree in his hand to Jiang Tongyue and said to Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue also began to inspect the seedling of the sacred Tiansang tree, and soon a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, this is indeed the seedling of the Tiansang sacred tree. Jiang is very satisfied. I think these treasures are enough to offset the value of the Tiansang sacred tree seedling. I hope you will accept them. Now that this matter is over, Jiang will not disturb you anymore..."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tongyue took out a treasure of considerable value from his storage bag and handed it directly to Old Man Kuzhu.

"Senior, please stay. I want to exchange some top-level spirit stones. I wonder if you have any with you."

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Tongyue immediately planned to leave Kuzhu Island. Unexpectedly, the old man Kuzhu stopped Jiang Tongyue and spoke to him cautiously.

"Top-grade spirit stones. Jiang did carry some with him. I wonder how many Daoist Kuzhu needs. If the number is too large, I will have to trouble Daoist Kuzhu to go with me to Tiannan."

Jiang Tongyue was stunned at first when she heard this, but then she reacted and said to old man Kuzhu with a smile on her face.

This is a lie. Jiang Tongyue's top-level spirit stones have always been stored in the system space and not anywhere else.

The reason he said this was simply because wealth should not be shown off.

Although, with his current cultivation strength, even if he exposed all his assets and property, no one could take away his property.

However, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Jiang Tongyue will not add unnecessary trouble to herself.

"The number of top-level spirit stones that I need is not much, I am really sorry to trouble you..."

When old man Kuzhu heard this, his face was filled with joy. He then took out the high-level spirit stones he had prepared over the years and traded with Jiang Tongyue.
