I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 209 Suppressing Mountains and Breaking Gold (Bonus Chapter for 2000 May Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi's consciousness entered Youxian Ferry, but because it had no physical form to attach to, it was unable to move freely.

After a moment's thought, she summoned a nimble little snow fairy from the Yin-Yang Pendant, made it take her shape, and then attached her divine sense to it.

It's so cool~
After stretching his limbs and confirming that the temporary body was flexible and usable, he walked towards the bamboo fence courtyard.

In front of the courtyard gate, two stone lions, each the size of a seal, were casually tossed there to guard the entrance.

With a flick of her sleeve, the stone lion instantly transformed into human form.

The two lions frantically checked for a while and were pleasantly surprised to find that they had escaped the forbidden area of ​​the Earth Flame Sect.

The lion covered its mouth and tried to speak in a low voice, "I can... say other things now? I really can!"

"Cough!" Jiang Yi coughed.

The lion suddenly raised its head, saw Jiang Yi, and immediately flew into a rage, its neck stiff as it said, "You despicable human cultivator, if you have the guts, fight me for another three hundred rounds, and I'll crush you with one punch..."

boom!
Before the male lion could finish speaking, the female lion next to him punched him on the head.

"Stupid Stone, shut your mouth!"

The male lion's face was twisted to the side by the blow, and it took him a while to turn back. With his mouth half open, he lost all his fierceness and instantly became silly and adorable. His pair of red stone eyes held a hint of grievance as he looked longingly at the female lion.

Although the female lion is made of stone, her posture is elegant and proud, and she is clearly more agile than the reckless male lion.

The lioness raised her head and said to Jiang Yi, "Kill me or torture me as you please, but if you want to humiliate us... dream on!"

Jiang Yi nodded with a light smile. In this world, everything is negotiable as long as there is profit to be made.

After observing the two lions briefly, Jiang Yi suddenly had an idea.

"Weren't you originally guardian artifacts crafted from stones by the Earth Flame Sect?"

The lion raised its head, "So what if it is!"

"Shut up!" The lioness raised her hand to hit the male lion, who instinctively shrank his neck.

Jiang Yi smiled, "For artifact-type demon spirits like you, simply absorbing spiritual energy is probably not enough for cultivation. Each advancement requires some good materials to be forged into your body. For stone demon spirits, stone materials are naturally the best. Look, what's that?"

As she spoke, Jiang Yi stretched out a finger and pointed it to the sky.

The lion still couldn't shut up, and while growling softly, it looked up and said, "Hmph, what good could you possibly have! Ah! Ah! What a huge star!"

The lioness crossed her arms, and when she saw the entire star overhead, although she maintained a cool demeanor, her paws were so startled that they dug into the ground.

Celestial meteorite iron ranks among the top ten most precious materials in the cultivation world. It contains stellar power that can nourish the divine sense. Magical treasures infused with celestial meteorite iron are easier to control and more skillful than those without.

Generally, if a magical artifact can be refined with a grain of rice-sized amount of celestial meteorite iron, its control and reaction speed can be increased by more than double.

Meteorite iron is a metallic material extracted from celestial bodies. In fact, it is not very useful to them. Only complete and original celestial bodies, which are a mixture of iron and stone, are most suitable for them.

When they were first created, in order to allow cultivators to better control them with their divine sense, a piece of celestial star the size of a peanut was refined into their core, which was already quite extravagant.

What is this in front of you now?
A celestial body the size of a mountain! Good heavens!
Jiang Yi said leisurely, "I have already severed the Earth Flame Sect's restrictions on you. I also have a secret technique that can allow your demon seed grade to break through from Yellow to Profound. In the future, breaking through to Earth grade will not be a problem. I am absolutely not lying about this. Moreover, Lion, you like to fight and like to crush things with one punch. I have a spell here that is particularly suitable for you."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yi borrowed magic from Hong Li and branded a fire mark onto the lion's body. Its shattered lava armor immediately began to heal under the nourishment of the Hundred Beast Spirit Fire.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yi unleashed another chain of fire, injecting even more Beast Spirit Fire. Not only did the lion's lava armor rapidly repair itself, but its spirit also became more vigorous, as if it possessed inexhaustible power.

Male lions have a unique ability: they can ingest fire to recover.

This means that Hongli can be responsible for treating the lion in the future. With the fire mark and fire chain intact, the lion can wreak havoc everywhere.

The male lion trembled with excitement, turning to look at the female lion, "My lady, I... she gave me so much... how about we..."

The lioness lashed her tail at the male lion's back, yelling, "Idiot!"

She forced a haughty look up, but her golden eyes couldn't help glancing towards Tianxing.

"Cough... Since you idiot... you've begged me..."

Before the words were even finished, the lion leaped up with a roar, its lava armor clanging loudly, "My wife agrees!"

Jiang Yi suppressed a laugh and raised his hand to cast a spell, inserting the two master-servant contracts into the brows of the two stone lions respectively.

They did not resist and were very compliant, which was much easier than subduing that rebellious girl Hong Li back then.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can only raise two or three demon spirits at most. If she didn't have a large amount of spiritual power, she might not have been able to complete the contract.

The moment the contract was completed, Jiang Yi's Dao Platform trembled, and her Earth Element True Essence, which had been suppressed by Wood Element True Essence, surged dramatically. She also saw some images of the two lions when they first gained intelligence and gave birth to their demonic seeds; it didn't seem like long ago, only about one or two hundred years ago.

"I see……"

After establishing a contractual relationship, Jiang Yi finally understood why these two lions resembled humans, could speak, understood common knowledge about cultivation, and even had the concepts of husband and wife, just like normal human cultivators. It turned out that during their time at the Earth Flame Sect, they had devoured the souls of many who had trespassed into forbidden areas.

Nourished by the human soul, nurtured over thousands of years, it remains untainted by distracting thoughts, instead refining a pure and noble nature—a truly excellent quality.

Moreover, the lioness is so mature, she should be able to handle her relationship with Hua Gu Hong Li in the future.

Jiang Yi stood up and pointed towards the quenching platform. "There's a fire pool in that cave. You can go there to recover. This is my territory, called Youxian Ferry. There are very powerful restrictions in the inheritance hall over there, so don't wander around."

"And this bamboo fence courtyard, don't damage it. You can wander around the rest of the place as you like. You should hurry up and fix it up. I have things to do outside. I'll help you get the Heavenly Star Fragments for cultivation when I have some free time."

"Yes!"

The two lions clasped their fists together, already showing signs of loyal protection.

These two can't be put into the spirit bag. They'll be like two guardian generals, which is quite impressive.

Did you have names before?

The two lions shook their heads.

Jiang thought for a moment, "Then let's call it 'Suppressing Mountains' and 'Severing Gold'. Suppressing mountains and shaking peaks, breaking gold and splitting armor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing upon me a name!"

The two lions knelt on one knee and clasped their hands in gratitude.

"By the way, one more question, what is inside the forbidden area of ​​the Earth Flame Sect that you are guarding?"

The male lion Zhenshan shook his head blankly, while the female lion Duanjin said, "Ever since we were created, we have been bound to the restrictions on the stone gate. If our master had not subdued us today, we would never have been able to escape the restrictions in this lifetime, and we wouldn't even be able to speak. We have never entered the stone gate and do not know what is inside."

Do you still remember the person who created you?

The male lion continued to shake his head, while the female lion glanced at him and said, "We have no memory of what happened before we gave birth to the demon seed. We're probably just weapon refiners from the Earth Flame Sect."

Jiang Yi nodded. The Di Yan Sect was a thing of the past; now only the Zhu Ming Sect remained here.

Zhu Ming is Xia, and the founding ancestor of the Zhu Ming sect was Xia Changying, who was formerly the Grand Elder of the Di Yan sect.

The Zhu Ming Sect has been passed down to this day, and the sect leader has always been a cultivator surnamed Xia. They combine family and sect systems.

The current sect leader of Zhu Mingzong, Xia Yangming, is the number one weapon refiner in Beixuan. However, his own master is not convinced and looks at Xia Yangming with disdain.

Jiang Yi's consciousness detached from the little snow demon's body and retrieved her, but her divine sense had not fully recovered. Her consciousness was formless and intangible, and she was still absorbing star power within the Immortal Crossing, while also observing the two lions.

After Jiang Yi left, the lion Zhenshan unleashed its true nature, tilting its head back and staring intently at the enormous celestial star hanging in the sky, swallowing hard.

He jumped twice on the spot, as if he wanted to leap to the stars, but since he had no ability to fly, he only made the ground rumble.

"It would be wonderful to hold it and gnaw on it."

"Keep your voice down."

The lioness, Duan Jin, lashed his shin with her tail and whispered, "Stupid Stone, this is the Master's sacred treasure. Don't say things without thinking, the Master can hear you."

She kept her back straight, but her golden eyes couldn't help glancing repeatedly towards Tianxing.

"You clearly wanted to eat it too, but you were secretly swallowing your saliva."

"No, I just have a dry throat, a very dry throat—"

Duan Jin bristled, his tail whip cracking loudly, making Zhen Shan retreat and pick his ears.

"I know, I know, why are you shouting so loudly? Even a stone like you will get a dry throat... you fierce woman."

Following the scent, Zhenshan ran to the cave where the quenching platform was located, pressing his face against the edge of the earth fire pool and sniffing frantically. "Wife, come quick! This fire smells even better than the ancient magma of the Earth Flame Sect!"

Duan Jin, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him in the butt, "Then you can go soak in the water!"

Zhenshan fell into the Fire Pool, but he was not angry and happily swam in the Fire Pool.

Duan Jin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he saw Duan Jin's silly look. Although they were bound by a contract to become servants, at least they no longer had to be bound in the dark underground and could go out and see the outside world together.

Stone lions, too, yearn for freedom.
