I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 208 Acquiring the Stone Lion (Double Monthly Tickets as a Thank You)
Jiang Yi stepped forward slowly, gently waving a gold leaf fan in her hand, a lazy smile playing on her lips.

She glanced at Wu Kun, who had retreated in a disheveled state, and then looked at the two menacing stone lion warriors, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.

"How about we make a deal, you two?" she said with a smile. "Come with me, and I'll provide you with food and lodging."

The lion warrior roared, "Those who trespass on this forbidden area shall die!"

The lioness's amber eyes gleamed with golden light, and her figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Jiang Yixue, speaking like a villain, unfurled his golden leaf fan, and twelve golden leaf blades whistled out, drawing golden trajectories in the air and instantly setting up the Golden Silkworm Devouring Spirit Array.

At the same time, she made a hand seal with her left hand, and a lazy version of spring rain began to fall, the raindrops shimmering with an eerie blue light.

However, since the stone lion warriors were objects that had come to life, the hypnotic effect of the spring rain was greatly reduced, only making them move slightly slower.

"It really doesn't work..."

Jiang Yi muttered to himself as the green vine whip shot out like a serpent, firmly binding the lion warrior's limbs. The golden silkworm then followed with its silk.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the female warrior used 'Sand Shadow Escape' to flash in front of Jiang Yi, her golden pupils suddenly shining brightly.

Intermediate Level: Soul-Capturing Eyes!
Ji Honglian and Lin Xiyue stood by, holding their breath in tension. After all, they were fellow disciples and neither wanted anything to happen to her.

Wu Kun stared intently. Just now, his Sand Scorpion had been hit by this eye technique, instantly freezing and motionless, having been struck squarely by the Lioness Warrior's high-level Golden Claw.

Jiang Yi's small frame is not as hard as the carapace of a sand scorpion.

But Jiang Yi wasn't flustered at all. In fact, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he raised his chin and stared directly into the lioness's captivating golden eyes.

Then, the lioness froze and didn't move!

"What is this??" Zhu Mingqian and the others stared in surprise.

This is a high-level charm, a high-level spell inherited from the Hongli bloodline. Jiang Yi borrowed this spell, and dealing with the mid-level Soul-Seizing Eye is a piece of cake.

However, this eye technique instantly depleted most of her spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is not as easy to replenish as true essence; one must meditate or return to the Immortal Crossing to absorb star power.

"Go, kill your husband to prove your Dao!" Jiang Yi said with a light laugh.

The female lion warrior stared blankly, then turned around upon hearing this, her sharp claws whistling through the air as she aimed straight for the male lion's throat!

The lion warrior was enraged. His lava armor burst forth with crimson light as he suddenly exerted his strength to break free from the binding of the green vine whip, even tearing off most of the golden threads of the Golden Silkworm Devouring Spirit Array.

That's incredibly strong!
The male lion tried to dodge several times, roaring in an attempt to wake the lioness. When that didn't work, he swung his fist at her, but she nimbly dodged it.

In an instant, the two stone lion warriors were locked in a fierce battle.

The lioness was agile and used Sand Shadow Escape repeatedly, leaving afterimages around the male lion. Each strike of her Golden Claws went straight for the vital joints.

Although the lion was powerful, it was clumsy in turning around and became increasingly agitated after missing its target several times.

"This..." Zhu Mingqian's eyes widened. "It can be like this?!"

Wu Kun clutched his shoulder wound, his face grim.

He had tried his best but failed to harm the stone lions in the slightest. Now, seeing them fighting each other, he was deeply shocked.

Lin Xiyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a low voice, "Using their own spear to attack their own shield... a good tactic."

Although Ji Honglian was envious and jealous, seeing the shocked expressions on Wu Kun and the others' faces, she couldn't help but smile. After all, they were her own people, and she felt a little proud of them.

At this moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

The lion warrior suddenly slammed his fists into the ground, activating the quicksand trap.

The ground beneath the lioness's feet instantly transformed into a vortex, causing her to falter. Taking advantage of this, the male lion unleashed the Earthly Fiend Mountain-Shaking Fist, the crimson chain lashing out like an angry dragon at the lioness's chest, sending her flying several feet away.

After breaking free of its control, the lion turned and pounced on Jiang Yi, its lava fist wind carrying fiery energy, scorching and distorting the air.

"Tsk~ Domestic violence is unacceptable!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of panic.

Borrowing the magic, golden light divides the shadow!

This is the spell of the Heart-Piercing Mirror; it splits into three and uses the venomous tongue to achieve this.

Jiang Yi's figure blurred, transforming into three golden streaks that scattered. The lion, unable to distinguish them, attacked two of the illusory figures haphazardly, only to be outmaneuvered by the real Jiang Yi who circled behind it. Dragon Whip Technique - Dragon Binding Rope!
The green vine whip spiraled and bound the lion.

The lion roared, but Jiang Yi had already used his Shadow Escape to teleport three zhang away and preemptively summoned the Black Sand Shield.

boom!
The lion broke free of its restraints, and the Earthly Fiend Mountain-Shaking Fist struck again. The Black Sand Shield met it head-on, exploding into a cloud of black sand particles, thus deflecting the force of the punch.

"It's time to finish."

Seeing that the female warrior had been awakened by the male lion's punch and was about to get up and attack her, Jiang Yi suddenly stopped her playful expression and a white talisman with blue patterns flew out from her sleeve.

All those maneuvers just now were to buy time to infuse the talisman with true essence. This time, she patiently filled the talisman to the brim, until the true essence overflowed, almost emptying her dantian.

It's equivalent to 10% of the power of a Golden Core cultivator's natal magic weapon, yet it can't even deal with two late Foundation Establishment stage Stones.
Let me show you what it means to have a secret treasure that can decide life or death!

Talisman Treasure: Shattered Jade!

Millions of pear petals rained down like swords, instantly engulfing the two stone lion warriors.

The petals took root and sprouted as soon as they touched the stone, bursting out with wooden thorns from within, turning the stone lion into two hedgehogs covered in pear blossoms in a few breaths.

Wood overcomes Earth; the power of the talisman caused the stone lion warrior to wail in pain, the lava patterns on his body flickering as he struggled to resist.

Jiang Yi seized the opportunity and threw out the Demon-Controlling Copper Ring.

The copper ring swelled in the wind, its inscriptions gleaming with a blinding blue light, encasing the two heavily injured stone lion warriors. The copper ring continued to shrink, tightly binding the stone lion warriors.

At this moment, runes lit up on the stone gate, transforming into chains that wrapped around the two stone lion warriors.

This indicates that the Stone Lion Warrior is the core of the Stone Gate's restrictions, and is bound to the Stone Gate as one.

Jiang Yi's remaining divine sense surged wildly, and the invisible Tian Shu Star Sword slashed down fiercely, severing the rune chains instantly.

"receive!"

With a soft shout, the two enormous creatures slowly gave up struggling, their eyes dimmed, and they eventually shrank into two palm-sized black stone lion statues, which landed in Jiang Yi's palm. A pear blossom was still blooming on the male lion's head.

"Why are you even cross-dressing?"

Jiang Yi brushed away the pear blossom, pretended to put the two stone lions into her arms, but actually threw them into Youxian Ferry.

Bang!

Zhu Mingqian's magic weapon fell to the ground. Wu Kun stared with his mouth agape, as if he were seeing this female cultivator named Yi Xianyu for the first time. He had previously wanted her to be his sworn sister, but he wondered if it would be acceptable for him to recognize her as his older sister now.

too strong!
Ji Honglian's mood was still complicated. Her shoulder, which had been struck by Jiang Yi's sword hilt, was still aching. Jiang Yi hadn't even used her most powerful sword.

"Fellow Daoist Yi..." Zhu Mingqian stammered, "Your skills are probably even at the late Foundation Establishment stage..."

"Just good luck."

Jiang Yi raised the talisman in his hand, which was almost completely broken. It could only be used once more.

“Demons and spirits are inherently mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining; I am merely using their strength against them.”

As she spoke, Jiang Yi glanced at Lin Xiyue, whose eyes flashed with admiration. She thought to herself that her lessons back then hadn't been in vain.

The stone lions guarding the gate were removed, and the restrictions on the stone gate also disappeared.

Jiang Yi walked over and sat down. "My spiritual sense and true essence are too depleted. I need to recuperate for half a day. You don't mind, do you?"

"No problem, no problem at all. Fellow Daoist Yi, please go ahead and adjust your breathing. Without you, we wouldn't dare to rush in directly," Zhu Mingqian quickly said.

Wu Kun nodded; he had been injured by the stone lion warrior and needed to recover.

Zhu Mingqian quickly set up an array to protect everyone from the fiery heat. Lin Xiyue saw that Ji Honglian was staring at Jiang Yi with envy and jealousy overflowing in her eyes. She patted her junior sister's shoulder and pulled her to sit down.

Ji Honglian is currently in the early stages of developing feelings for someone, and she tends to uncontrollably amplify her emotions. This does not mean that she is a petty and malicious person.

While everyone was busy with their own things, Jiang Yi's consciousness had already sunk into the Immortal Crossing. She was absorbing the star power of Sword Tomb Mountain to recover while checking on her newly acquired little four and five, preparing to conduct new employee onboarding training.
