I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 250 Fellow Daoist (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Senior Sister, what's going on?" Liu Tao asked in confusion.

Jiang Yi explained, "My fire spirit root is shattered. The Yaoling Sword was once bound to my fire spirit root, so it probably doesn't recognize me now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Taozhi opened her eyes in horror; a shattered spiritual root was a life-threatening matter.

She simply couldn't imagine how many hardships her senior sister had gone through to survive. Such a strong-willed person, having lost all her cultivation, was still able to rebuild her cultivation to this day, even stronger than before.

Senior Sister is truly so powerful that it's heartbreaking.

Jiang Yi looked at Liu Taozhi's eyes and couldn't help but laugh and cry. "Don't think too much. I've been living quite comfortably these past few years, much more comfortably than when I was in the Xuan Ying Sword Sect."

Liu Taozhi suppressed her heartache and tingling nose and nodded. She understood that her senior sister didn't want her to worry, and she had to be strong.

Although she longed to stay with her senior sister, Liu Taozhi knew that her senior sister needed space, and she also had many things to take care of.

Liu Taozhi immediately stood up. "Senior Sister, I will keep your secret. It's just that... Master is also in the city... In short, I will try my best to keep it a secret."

Hearing that her own mother was also in the city, Jiang Yi's heart clenched for a moment, but she quickly smiled and relaxed.

"My identity will be revealed sooner or later, and I will meet the people I need to meet sooner or later. I will handle it well, so you don't need to worry about me. If she asks you, you can tell the truth."

Liu Taozhi continued to nod. From the moment she met her senior sister, she had reverted to being the same Yaoyao who only knew how to nod.

"Also, in the upcoming duel, if Senior Sister encounters me..."

Jiang Yi looked up at Liu Taozhi, patiently waiting for her to say what she wanted to say.

Liu Tao took a deep breath, then another. "Please, Senior Sister, don't let me win. I will... I will fight you with all my might."

Jiang Yi smiled brightly, "Alright, I've been wanting to experience the prowess of Fellow Daoist Liu, the esteemed disciple of the Xuan Ying Sword Sect Master."

Liu Tao chuckled, but her eyes welled up slightly. The senior sister in front of her had relaxed her brows and her eyes were full of lively energy. She was no longer the cold and aloof woman she used to be, whose smiles were always restrained.

Nowadays, the senior sister is dressed in fiery red, exuding passion and charisma. Her eyes naturally lift as she talks and laughs, radiating vitality.

Like the snow on Xuanying Mountain that never melts, suddenly encountering the April day in the human world.

Liu Taozhi quietly clenched her sleeves, a bittersweet warmth welling up in her heart. Compared to selfishly relying on her senior sister and stubbornly following behind her, she preferred things to be like this.

Seeing her senior sister let go of all burdens and live a carefree and happy life made her happier than ever before.

"Senior Sister, no, from now on I should call you Fellow Daoist Crane Shadow. Tao Zhi, I'll take my leave now."

Liu Tao put her cloak hood back on, smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Yi. Her eyes were still red when she turned around, but she seemed more cheerful than when she came.

Stepping out of the Beacon Tower, Liu Taozhi looked up at the crimson sky above the Flint City and suddenly felt the snow that had weighed on her heart for the past eight years quietly melt away.

Feeling completely relaxed, Liu Taozhi laughed heartily without any burden, and strode confidently across the bustling square toward the Xuan Ying Sword Sect's headquarters.

Although she is getting further and further away from her beloved senior sister, whom she had lost and then regained, the path she is walking on is the one she chose herself.

Following the senior sister, she could only ever be the junior sister.

Only by leaving her senior sister can she become her fellow cultivator!

……

After Liu Tao left, Jiang Yi took a deep breath, temporarily putting aside those unsolvable problems and letting things take their natural course.

The boat will sink naturally when it reaches the bridge, sink to the bottom of the lake, and then continue sleeping!

Tomorrow's eight-person duel requires some planning of battle tactics. The strongest Foundation Establishment stage geniuses from the nine immortal sects are not to be underestimated.

The key point is that, apart from Lian Zheng, that good-for-nothing who had been dawdling at the peak of Foundation Establishment for a long time and was considered an old acquaintance of hers, the rest of them were all rising stars from various sects, whom she had never met or known before.

Just as Jiang Yi was thinking this, Hua Gu emerged from the Yin-Yang Pendant and suddenly dumped a bunch of recording stones onto the table.

Whoosh!

Hua Gu pointed to the photo stones with her misty finger. Jiang Yi picked up a few and looked at them briefly, then exclaimed in surprise, "When did you record these? Hua Gu, you really... I'm so excited!"

These recording stones actually captured the battles of the other immortal sects' prodigies who had been dominating the various arenas for the past few days. They were recorded by Little Flower Maiden, who split off from Flower Maiden and flew to the highest point of the arena's protective array.

(uu) Hua Gu huddled up shyly.

Actually, these were originally recorded by the animal itself. By watching, learning, and thinking more, it can become more powerful and better protect its owner.

"That rebellious daughter, Hong Li!"

Every time Jiang Yi sees how considerate, sensible, ambitious, and self-disciplined Hua Gu is, she can't help but scold Hong Li. Hua Gu is distracted while fighting and recording these recording stones. When Hong Li is watching from the side while tending the fire, it just dozes off and slacks off, showing no ambition at all.

After being brutally beaten by Lian Zheng, Hong Li still didn't realize the problem and even blamed her for not helping, saying that if she had helped, it would definitely have been able to beat Lian Zheng to a pulp.

Jiang Yi was speechless and helpless. Clever foxes are really hard to communicate with. It's difficult to get Hong Li out of her own logic and understand her intentions. She has to suffer a big loss before she realizes the truth that relying on others is unreliable.

As obedient as Hua Gu, as long as you plan a path for her, she can walk to the end on her own.

However, even a clever fox, if left unchecked, may certainly forge a remarkable path, but it may also make a single misstep and be doomed forever.

To avoid this situation, Hongli needs to possess greater strength so that even if she makes a mistake in the future, she can still turn the tide with her formidable power.

The road to education is long and arduous.

Jiang Yi leaned against the headboard and gently embraced Hua Gu as they examined the recording stone together. As the light and shadow shifted, the fierce battle scene on the arena slowly unfolded like a scroll.

She called Hongli out, but Hongli was still sulking because Jiang Yi had deliberately made it be beaten in public, and refused to come out, so Jiang Yi had no choice but to let it be.

Jiang Yi outlined the opponent's weaknesses in the light and shadow, explaining them slowly. Hua Gu's misty body undulated slightly, condensing her misty hand to circle the best angle for a counterattack on the image, and emitting a questioning whooshing sound.

Jiang Yi nodded with satisfaction, proud of Hua Gu's rapid growth.

Hongli, this rebellious girl!

Well, let's just assume that Hong Li is trying to balance her luck.

She's really lucky these days. If it weren't for that troublesome Hong Li around, she wouldn't feel at ease.

As the sun gradually set in the west, the crimson sky above Flint City was gilded with a layer of golden light, and the noise in the square rose and fell, lasting for a long time.

As the arena battle drew to a close, the cultivators, whose victories and defeats were already decided, dispersed in twos and threes.

Some people were beaming with pride, chatting excitedly with their companions about their day's achievements; others were dejected, but still secretly encouraged themselves; still others left arm in arm, laughing and joking, as if winning or losing was nothing more than fleeting clouds.

Although the crowd dispersed, the discussions spread like a tide to every corner of the streets and alleys, with everyone talking about and looking forward to the quarterfinals of the major immortal sects tomorrow, speculating who would become the champion.

In the dark alleys of the black market, the talisman lamps of the gambling dens glowed faintly. Qi Tian lowered his cloak and led Feng Wuhen, who was in disguise, and others through the area, throwing the spirit stones that everyone had pooled together onto the gambling table.

"Bet all your bets on Jiang Heying of the Cangling Sect to take the championship!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it made the dealer raise an eyebrow. He was the second person to bet on Jiang Heying tonight.

Although Jiang Yi has performed outstandingly these past few days, his cultivation level is still a step behind the other seven. The other seven are all personal disciples of Nascent Soul True Monarchs from various sects, and their overall strength is not bad. Therefore, no one bet on Jiang Yi to take the lead.

As the dealer was recalling the first person to bet on Jiang Yi, another young man in black pushed through the crowd and slammed a storage bag on the table.

"Bet on Jiang Heying of Cangling Sect to take the championship!"

"We'll bet too!"

The other chubby hand also dropped two storage bags.

Qi Tian and his group, along with the boy in black and the two girls, one fat and one thin, wrapped in cloaks, locked eyes. Qi Tian immediately widened his eyes and pointed at them, exclaiming, "Oh, oh, oh..."

The boy in black shoved a hand over Qi Tian's mouth, yelling, "Oh, you big rooster! Get out of here right now!"

Now, the fortunes of all the disciples of the Cangling Sect depend entirely on Jiang Yi.
