Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Xin Ruyin with a portable cave. It is detected that the current return multiple is 200 times. Please choose..."

"Choice 1: Return 200 portable caves of the same level!"

"Choice 2: Return a higher quality portable cave residence!"

Jiang Tongyue chose the second option without changing his expression, and then couldn't wait to look at the introduction of the second option.

This sight gave him a huge surprise.

The portable cave returned by the system is much better than the one refined by Jiang Tongyue, no matter in terms of refining technique, internal space or quality of the cave.

First of all, the space inside the portable cave after the system returned it had increased by more than a hundred times, making it dozens of times larger than Tiannan’s!
Moreover, the many spiritual objects that Jiang Tongyue had added when he had previously refined the cave also made the center of the cave possess an extremely rich spiritual energy.

It can be said that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this portable cave is only second to that of Tiannan’s current Blood Forbidden Land. After all, the Blood Forbidden Land possesses incomparably rich fairyland energy.

Moreover, the defensive formation outside this portable cave is also extremely terrifying. As long as one has enough spiritual energy, a Mahayana cultivator will not be able to break through the defensive formation at all.

This is another life-saving trump card. If Jiang Tongyue encounters an opponent that he cannot defeat, he can just hide in the portable cave to avoid the enemy that he cannot defeat.

As for someone guarding his body, there is no need to worry about that. Jiang Tongyue can stay in the portable cave for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

After all, Jiang Tongyue, who possesses the Bodhicitta, does not need to worry about his lifespan at all.

After returning to the secret room, Jiang Tongyue took out the portable cave residence returned by the system, began to drip blood to recognize the owner, and began to refine this portable cave residence.

Only after completely refining this portable cave residence, Jiang Tongyue will be able to use it like a magic weapon.

After spending years, Jiang Tongyue finally completed the initial refining and successfully took this portable cave into his body.

However, before Jiang Tongyue could further refine it, he felt a strange movement of spiritual energy emerging in the blood-colored forbidden land.

Jiang Tongyue was very familiar with this fluctuation of spiritual energy. It meant that a Nascent Soul cultivator had successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation Stage!
Jiang Tongyue came to the outside of the cave, his eyes bursting with dazzling golden light, and he immediately saw the old monster Linghu who was breaking through the bottleneck.

Seeing this, Jiang Tongyue was a little surprised. He originally thought that among the cultivators of the seven sects of Yue Kingdom, the first one to reach the God Transformation Stage should be the Grand Elder of the Yanyue Sect.

After all, among the many cultivators in the seven sects of Yue State, the cultivation level of the Great Elder of Yanyue Sect was the most profound.

After a quick glance, Jiang Tongyue withdrew his gaze and then went to wait outside the cave of Old Monster Linghu.

Not long after, the Nascent Soul cultivators from the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom also arrived outside the cave of Old Monster Linghu.

"Junior Yan Ruyan, greetings to Uncle Jiang!"

These Nascent Soul cultivators were somewhat surprised after seeing Jiang Tongyue, but they still bowed to him respectfully.

To the cultivators of the seven sects of Yue State, Jiang Tongyue today is more than just a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

After all, the seven sects of Yue State now have many godsend cultivators, although they are all Jiang Tongyue’s disciples and companions.

Jiang Tongyue allowed the cultivators of the seven sects of Yue State to enjoy many benefits, and even increased the strength of the seven sects of Yue State by dozens of times.

Nowadays, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the seven sects of Yue Kingdom has increased several times, even surpassing the top forces in southern Tiannan such as the Righteous Alliance and the Six Demonic Sects.

Jiang Tongyue nodded without saying much, and the Nascent Soul cultivators from the seven sects of the Yue Kingdom were also waiting obediently by the side.

Finally, after a few days, the unusual movements in the Bloody Forbidden Land completely calmed down, as if the previous strange phenomena had never existed.

At this moment, a dazzling golden light flew out from the cave of Old Monster Linghu and came in front of Jiang Tongyue. It turned out to be Old Monster Linghu himself.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Linghu, for successfully advancing to the Spiritualization Stage. Our Yue Nation's Seven Sects now have one more Spiritualization cultivator."

Jiang Tongyue clasped his hands together and congratulated Linghu Old Monster with a smile on his face.

The other cultivators present also stepped forward and congratulated Linghu Old Monster: "Congratulations, Uncle Linghu, for successfully breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Stage!"

"It was just a fluke."

The old monster Linghu, who had just advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage, was also very excited, but he still responded to everyone modestly.

In the heart of old monster Linghu, he was also very grateful to Jiang Tongyue. If it were not for Jiang Tongyue's bodhicitta, he would never have been able to cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage so quickly.

"Alright, fellow apprentices, you can go down first and spread the news that Senior Brother Linghu has broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. As for Senior Brother Linghu's Spiritual Transformation Ceremony, let's put it three years later."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue gave instructions to the many Nascent Soul cultivators present.

"I will follow the orders of my uncle!"

After hearing this, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present clasped their hands together and agreed respectfully.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue exchanged greetings with Linghu Laoguai for a while before saying goodbye, leaving Linghu Laoguai to consolidate his realm alone.

After returning to his own cave, Jiang Tongyue continued to refine the portable cave, wanting to refine it to the point of telepathy as soon as possible.

It took Jiang Tongyue more than a year to improve his control over the portable cave abode to the point where he could use it to fight the enemy.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue stopped practicing the cave abode and began to sort out the various skills he had practiced.

There is no doubt that Jiang Tongyue has practiced too many powerful skills, such as the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Qi, the Brahma True Demonic Skill, the Five-Colored Divine Light True Skill, the Great Evolution Skill...

However, the most important thing for Jiang Tongyue at the moment is the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Qi technique. Apart from the fact that it is his innate technique, before he traveled through time, he had longed to become a swordsman who could fly with a sword.

This is also the reason why Jiang Tongyue still insisted on practicing the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Qi after obtaining the powerful Brahma True Demon Art.

However, the Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Qi is also a top-level martial art. Although it is not as good as the Dayan Jue, the Brahma True Demon Art, and the Five-Colored Divine Light True Art, it is still stronger than many martial arts in the world of immortal cultivation.

Moreover, Jiang Tongyue has full confidence that he can deduce and strengthen the Great Freedom Xuanjin Sword Qi technique to a level that is unprecedented and unparalleled.

This is of course due to Jiang Tongyue’s hard work and sweat!

Now, the two magical powers, the Brahma True Demon Art and the Five-Colored Divine Light True Art, have reached a bottleneck. Unless Jiang Tongyue's cultivation breaks through to the Void Refinement Stage, he will not be able to make any further progress.

As for the Great Evolution Art, he didn't have that much time to practice it because it was too time-consuming to practice. After all, there were only a few decades left before the human world was upgraded to the spiritual world. Before that, he had to improve his strength severely.

Jiang Tongyue took out a jar of Bi Yan wine, took a sip, and then began to practice the Great Freedom Xuan Jin Sword Qi.

It has to be said that the Green Flame Wine brewed by Feng Xi using the demon pill of the God Transformation Stage and many rare treasures is truly amazing.

Even if Jiang Tongyue broke through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, this Green Flame Wine still had a significant effect on him.

However, the effect of the Green Flame Wine is not as amazing as it was in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.

Even so, with the help of this jar of Green Flame Wine, Jiang Tongyue's cultivation still made great progress.

Two years passed quickly, and the Linghu old monster's incarnation ceremony was held in Xinghai City, the largest city in Yue State.

In order to participate in the Linghu monster's incarnation ceremony, Jiang Tongyue came out of seclusion and prepared a gift for Linghu monster.

The gift that Jiang Tongyue prepared for the old monster Linghu was the Bi Yan wine brewed by Feng Xi using the demon pill of the God Transformation Period and many rare treasures.

With this jar of Green Flame Wine, Linghu Old Monster's cultivation will be able to advance by leaps and bounds, and he will be able to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation as soon as possible.

The stronger the cultivators from the seven sects of Yue State are, the greater their role will be to Jiang Tongyue, so he naturally would not be stingy with a small jar of Green Flame Wine.

As for Linghu Laoguai's incarnation ceremony, all the major forces in the southern part of the country dispatched Nascent Soul cultivators to participate, and presented precious gifts.

Wei Wuya, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage from the Nine-Nation Alliance, prepared generous gifts and came to the Kingdom of Yue in person to attend the God Transformation Ceremony of Linghu Laoguai.

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, Fellow Daoist Jiang has actually broken through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Your cultivation speed is so fast that I am really ashamed of myself!"

After seeing Jiang Tongyue, Wei Wuya was so shocked by Jiang Tongyue's realm that his eyes widened and he spoke with envy.

Recalling the first time he met Jiang Tongyue, Jiang Tongyue was just a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Shortly thereafter, Jiang Tongyue made breakthroughs in realms one after another and directly advanced to the Spirit Transformation Stage, which made him drop his jaw.

It seemed that the higher the realm Jiang Tongyue reached, the faster his cultivation became, which really confused him.

"Brother Daoist Wei, you are too kind. Jiang was able to cultivate to the current level entirely because of hard work and sweat. Of course, there was also a bit of luck."

Jiang Tongyue smiled modestly, and then together with Linghu Old Monster, led Wei Wuya to a hall.

In this hall, Jiang Tongyue’s many disciples, as well as Nangong Wan, were waiting here.

"I wonder if Brother Jiang has ever heard of the Xuantian Immortal Vine?"

Not long after, Wei Wuya suddenly spoke and asked Jiang Tongyue.

"Xuantian Immortal Vine! I have also heard a little about this. It is said that this Xuantian Immortal Vine is an ancient spiritual root that has existed since the beginning of the world. It is said that the flowers or fruits it blooms have the ability to defy the laws of this world! Could it be that fellow Daoist has the Xuantian Immortal Vine in his hand?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tongyue was stunned at first, then she remembered the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword in the original novel, and couldn't help but ask Wei Wuya about it.

“Yes, I did find a Xuantian Immortal Vine from an ancient cultivator’s cave before. Unfortunately, this Xuantian Immortal Vine has withered.”

As he spoke, Wei Wuya took out a withered vine from his storage bag. This was the Xuantian Immortal Vine.

Wei Wuya was already familiar with Jiang Tongyue's character. Jiang Tongyue not only liked to collect various precious materials, but also was very fond of some elixirs that were almost extinct.

Therefore, Wei Wuya decisively left behind the withered Xuantian Immortal Vine and planned to use it to trade with Jiang Tongyue.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I am somewhat interested in this Xuantian Immortal Vine. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"

Sure enough, Jiang Tongyue had no intention of concealing anything and started asking Wei Wuya directly.

Jiang Tongyue has a system that rewards disciples for their mistakes, and as long as the price is not too outrageous, he will buy it.

Only in this way, will cultivators like Wei Wuya consider trading with Jiang Tongyue after obtaining the treasure.

Of course, if someone treats him as a sucker and offers an exorbitant price for him, Jiang Tongyue will not just sit there and wait for it to be slaughtered. He will just go and snatch the money away.

However, the cultivators in the mortal world were all very rational. Although the treasures sold to the Xinghai Merchant Alliance were a lot more expensive, they were still within Jiang Tongyue's acceptable range.

"Of course, I brought this Xuantian Immortal Vine here to trade with Brother Jiang. However, in order to keep this Xuantian Immortal Vine, I paid a lot..."

Wei Wuya naturally had no intention of keeping this Xuantian Immortal Vine.

Although the Xuantian Immortal Vine is coveted, the one in his hand has already withered and is of no use to him. It is better to use it to exchange for some benefits.

"Well... Fellow Daoist Wei, I have a jar of Green Flame Wine here. This wine is made from a demon pill of the Spiritualization Stage and many natural treasures. It was brewed by Feng Xi, the number one winemaker in the Human Alliance, after going through untold hardships. It can help you break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. I will use this Green Flame Wine to trade for the Mysterious Heavenly Immortal Vine in your hand. How do you think?"

Jiang Tongyue pondered for a moment, then took out a jar of Bi Yan wine from his storage bag and began to introduce it to Wei Wuya.

He still had nearly two hundred jars of Bi Yan wine left in his hand. Jiang Tongyue felt it was worth it to take out a jar to trade for the Xuantian Immortal Vine.

"I didn't expect that Daoist Fellow Jiang actually had such a treasure. I would be disrespectful to refuse it. This Xuantian Immortal Vine is Daoist Fellow's."

When Wei Wuya heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the jar of Biyan Wine in Jiang Tongyue's hand with fiery eyes. Then he handed the Xuantian Immortal Vine in his hand to Jiang Tongyue without hesitation.

As for whether Jiang Tongyue was lying to him, Wei Wuya had no doubt in his heart. Jiang Tongyue was well-known in Tiannan for her rich background. There was no need for her to lie to him about such a small matter. This was Jiang Tongyue's reputation in the human world.

After getting the Biyan Wine, Wei Wuya had no intention of staying any longer and left without waiting for Linghu Laoguai's incarnation ceremony to be over.

Obviously, he couldn't wait to go back, refine the Green Flame Wine, and break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm as soon as possible.

Jiang Tongyue was not in a hurry to leave Xinghai City, but planned to wait until the Linghu old monster's incarnation ceremony was over before returning to the bloody forbidden land.

Soon, the Linghu monster's incarnation ceremony came to an end. However, before Jiang Tongyue could leave Xinghai City, a cultivator stopped him in advance.
