Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 75 Full of Harvests
From Emperor Yue, Jiang Tongyue obtained an ink-black bowl, a red pointed cone about an inch in size, a black knife handle, and a jade slip emitting a grayish-white aura.

Among them, the ink-black bowl is an evil magic weapon called the Soul-Gathering Bowl, which is a magic weapon often used by evil monks.

This soul-gathering bowl can accommodate the souls and spirits of cultivators. Once the soul enters the soul-gathering bowl, it will lose all its spirituality and become an ordinary wandering ghost, to be used for sacrifices by these evil cultivators.

As for the red pointed cone, it was the solidified form of the Blood Soul Diamond that Emperor Yue had condensed using his inner blood and essence over the years.

The jet-black hilt was the fragment of a magic weapon, and its power was much stronger than top-level magic weapons.

Among them, the most important one, of course, is the jade slip that exudes a grayish-white aura.

This jade slip records all the skills and secret techniques of the Black Evil Sect, including a series of secret techniques such as the "Evil Demon Art", "Blood Soul Drill", "Black Evil Shura Art", "Evil Pill Clone", and "Blood Refining Divine Light".

It can be said that if the skills and secret techniques contained in this jade slip were obtained by the cultivators of the seven sects, half of the sects would definitely become demonic sects.

Apart from anything else, just the Demon-Slaying Art, which allows one to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage without using Foundation Establishment Pills, can greatly increase the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in a sect.

What's more, after practicing the Demon-Slaying Technique, one can transform into a demon, and his combat power is much stronger than that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.

The most important thing is that the cultivator who has practiced the Demon-Slaying Technique can also condense a Blood-Condensing Five Elements Pill in his body.

This Blood Condensation Five Elements Pill also has a one-third chance of forming an Evil Pill.

Moreover, the cultivator who has formed the Sha Dan is equivalent to a cultivator in the Jindan stage in terms of lifespan and combat power.

However, cultivators who refine the Blood Condensing Five Elements Pill will not only be unable to make further progress in their cultivation, their brains will also be corroded by evil spirits, and their minds will gradually become dull.

However, despite its various shortcomings, this Blood Condensation Five Elements Pill can still be a way out for some foundation-building cultivators who have exhausted their potential and are unable to advance to the stage of forming a pill.

Jiang Tongyue put all the items he had harvested into his storage bag.

Then, he looked towards the eastern area of ​​Yuejing. The huge Yuejing was divided into four urban areas: east, south, west and north.

Among them, the North City District is where the imperial city is located. This area is inhabited by members of the royal family. People who are not related to the royal family are not qualified to live in the BC District.

The South City District, which is far away from the BC District, is inhabited by senior executives and nobles of the Yue State. If there is no one in the family who is an official, they have to move out of the South City District.

Among them, Dongcheng District and Xicheng District are the residences of rich businessmen and poor people respectively.

The reason why Jiang Tongyue was not in a hurry to leave Yuejing was because of a cultivator living in Dongcheng District.

This immortal cultivator is Xiao Cui'er's grandfather in the original novel.

The nameless animal skin book in the other party's hand was actually a book of demon clan's martial arts, which included a set of spells, a set of body techniques and two secret techniques.

Among them, the spells and body movements are nothing special and are of little use to Jiang Tongyue, but the two sets of secret techniques are of infinite use.

One of the secret techniques is the Wind-Hiding Technique, which can conceal one's true level of cultivation and make it impossible for others to detect it.

The other secret technique is a life-saving skill called Blood Shadow Escape. Once it is performed, it can consume a certain amount of blood and essence and instantly shoot to a place hundreds of miles away.

It can be said that this Blood Shadow Escape is definitely the top secret technique for escaping.

Of course, this Blood Shadow Escape also has other disadvantages, that is, one must have a pair of wings to fully perform the Blood Shadow Escape.

But if you don’t have wings, when you use the Blood Shadow Escape, you will just spin in the same place and won’t be able to jump very far.

However, as for the wings, didn’t the great benefactor Feng Xi from Chaos Star Sea already prepare them for him a long time ago?
It is for this reason that Jiang Tongyue is determined to get the nameless animal skin book in the hands of Xiao Cui'er's grandfather.

After arriving in Dongcheng District, Jiang Tongyue used his spiritual sense to explore for a while, and then his figure flashed and suddenly appeared above a luxurious mansion.

After some confirmation, Jiang Tongyue fled towards the mansion below and stopped in front of the door of a house.

"I didn't know you were coming, Senior. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!"

At this moment, the door opened with a "click", and an old man in pajamas appeared in front of Jiang Tongyue. He bowed to Jiang Tongyue respectfully and said.

"It's okay. I came here uninvited this time. How can I be guilty of anything?"

Facing the old man's words, Jiang Tongyue behaved very gently.

"I don't know your name, senior. Are you able to help me this time?"

Looking at Jiang Tongyue's gentle smile, the old man felt a little relieved, but he still asked Jiang Tongyue very respectfully.

"I am Jiang Tongyue. I came here for the nameless animal skin book in your hand. Of course, I won't take it for nothing. What do you want? Whether it's skills, elixirs or magic tools, I can satisfy you."

Jiang Tongyue readily told the old man in front of him his name.

"So it's Senior Jiang who has come to visit. It really brings honor to my humble abode. Senior, please wait for a moment. I will go get what you need right away."

After hearing that the person in front of him was Jiang Tongyue, the famous Jindan cultivator of Yue State, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on the old man's face.

Afterwards, after Jiang Tongyue nodded in agreement, the old man immediately turned around and went into the house. After a while, he came out holding a wooden box.

"Senior, this is the animal skin book you need. Please take a look at it." The old man opened the lid of the wooden box in his hand, and inside it was an animal skin book.

Jiang Tongyue was not polite either. With a wave of his hand, the animal skin book in the wooden box immediately floated towards Jiang Tongyue.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue opened the animal skin book and began to read.

The characters in this animal skin book were extremely strange. Even Jiang Tongyue, who had specially learned several types of ancient Chinese, could not recognize them at all.

However, the contents recorded on the last few pages of this animal skin book were written in the language of Tiannan.

Therefore, Jiang Tongyue knew the contents of these last few pages.

The contents recorded on the last few pages of this animal skin book are actually the secret method that can conceal one's cultivation level.

"Yes, this is indeed the animal skin book I need. I am very satisfied with the animal skin book you gave me. I must reward you handsomely. Tell me, what reward do you need? Cultivation method? Magic weapon? Or elixir?"

At this time, Jiang Tongyue put the animal skin book into the storage bag, then looked at the old man and said with admiration on his face.

"This... Senior, I don't need your reward. I just want to ask you to accept my granddaughter as your disciple!"

At this time, the old man bowed to Jiang Tongyue again and pleaded with Jiang Tongyue in a respectful tone.

After knowing that the person in front of him was the legendary Jiang Tongyue who successfully broke through to the Jindan stage at the age of thirty, the old man made such a decision in his heart.

No matter what, he wanted his granddaughter to become Jiang Tongyue's disciple.

After all, Jiang Tongyue is a Jindan cultivator. If he misses this opportunity, he will probably never have a second chance in his life.

What's more, Jiang Tongyue is different from other Jindan cultivators. He is definitely the Jindan cultivator in Yue Kingdom who has the greatest hope of breaking through to the Yuanying stage.

If she could become Jiang Tongyue's disciple, his granddaughter would definitely be able to become a Jindan cultivator in the future.

"Are you sure you don't want any other rewards, but just want me to take your granddaughter as my apprentice?"

At this time, Jiang Tongyue frowned and asked the old man again.

"I am sure. I am old now and my potential has been exhausted. It is useless even if I ask you for the elixir. However, my granddaughter has the talent of dual spiritual roots. If she can become your disciple, her future achievements will definitely be higher than mine!"

Seeing Jiang Tongyue frowning, the old man's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but for the sake of his granddaughter, he still spoke up.

"In that case, I will agree to your request."

Jiang Tongyue nodded and agreed immediately.

As a cultivator with dual spiritual roots, Xiao Cui'er's aptitude is only slightly worse than that of a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots. With such aptitude, she will be treated as a treasure no matter which sect she goes to.

Therefore, Jiang Tongyue naturally had no need to refuse.

"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior! I will go wake Cui Er up right away."

Upon hearing that Jiang Tongyue actually agreed, the old man's face suddenly showed an expression of uncontrollable surprise.

After Jiang Tongyue nodded in agreement, the old man left. Less than half an hour later, the old man came back with a very cute little girl who was about six or seven years old.

"Cui'er, from today on, Senior Jiang is your master. You must obey your master's orders. Do you understand?"

At this time, Old Man Xiao was giving Xiao Cui'er many instructions and warnings.

"Yes, Grandpa, I'll take note of it."

Although Xiao Cui'er's eyes were red, she still nodded heavily.

"Your name is Xiao Cui'er. Don't worry, after you become my disciple, I will not tie you down. If you really miss your grandfather, you can come back to visit him after you successfully break through to the foundation-building stage."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue walked up, stroked the little girl's head, and spoke to Xiao Cui'er with a gentle expression.

Perhaps it was Jiang Tongyue's gentle attitude that immediately dispelled Xiao Cui'er's confusion about being away from her relatives.

"Senior, if that's the case, then I'll leave my granddaughter in your care."

At this time, Old Man Xiao bowed to Jiang Tongyue again.

"Don't worry, since Cui'er has already accepted me as her master, I will naturally protect her."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue also responded to Old Man Xiao solemnly.

Afterwards, he took Xiao Cui'er and left Yuejing.

PS: Bow to you, brothers. I spent the whole day in the hospital and had no time to write.
