Chapter 3 Buying a Spirit
Two years later, mid-August.

The boundary of Cangling Sect is Jinli City.

The autumn atmosphere is strong and the whole city is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

"Girl, we're here!"

An ox cart pulling straw stopped outside the city. An old man shouted to the back. The girl sleeping on the straw took off the hat covering her face, sat up, and twisted her neck to stretch her muscles.

She was none other than Jiang Yi, whose body had grown to that of a twelve-year-old. After two years of suffering, she had cultivated the Sleeping Immortal Technique to the first level, which had transformed her completely. Her appearance, temperament, and even her personality had undergone tremendous changes.

Jiang Yi got out of the car, his sky-blue robe draped loosely over his frail body, revealing a bit of careless laziness.

Her dark eyes were half-open and half-closed, her long hair like dark clouds was casually scattered, with a few strands of hair hanging on the sides of her face, making her look listless. Anyone who saw her would think she was a sickly person.

Now she is too lazy to do such troublesome things as tying her hair.

Putting his hat back on, Jiang Yi took off the gourd from his waist and drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat. Then he slowly walked up to the old man and took out a piece of old ginseng as thick as a finger from the storage bag in his sleeve.

"Good work."

The old man accepted the ginseng with a smile, whipped the cart, and turned back home.

Jiang Yi looked at the magnificent city in front of her and never expected that it took her two whole years to walk from Xichuan City to Jinli City at the foot of Cangling Sect Mountain.

The vastness of Beixuan can only be truly felt by measuring it with your own feet.

However, I haven't been traveling all the time in the past two years. I have wasted a lot of time due to my livelihood and cultivation.

At the beginning, she couldn't help but imagine returning to the peak and making her mother regret it.

Later, I just thought about where to find a roof over my head, eat a hot meal, have less running around and fatigue tomorrow, and avoid being targeted by people with bad intentions.

The hardships of survival have long worn away her pride.

At first, Jiang Yi couldn't figure out how to gather the "lazy energy", and his progress in practicing the Sleeping Immortal Technique was slow. He dragged his broken body among mortals and didn't dare to fight with the immortal cultivators.

It took her a year to finally change all her bad habits of being diligent and motivated. She was not lazy but forced herself to be lazy, and deliberately reminded herself of all kinds of laziness. In this way, she finally cultivated the first level of the Sleeping Immortal Technique and completely repaired her meridians, dantian and spiritual roots.

It took another year to improve her cultivation to the third level of Qi training. During this process, she found that the Sleeping Immortal Technique could only be used as an auxiliary technique. She still needed a main technique to help her break through the third and fourth levels of Qi training, the 'Qi Condensation Liquid'.

The best method is wood-based exercises to strengthen the body, nourish the internal organs and meridians. Her body is now in a weak state and has no resistance at all. She vomits blood after making a move.

As a former swordsman, she did not have any unconventional skills, and spent a year and a half trying to sleep to treat her health problems.

He is often too lazy to move, goes hungry for nine meals out of three days, his body does not grow, and he is as thin as a bamboo pole. Until now, he cannot afford a main practice method that suits him.

For now, the best way out for her is to join a sect.

Large sects occupy famous mountains and blessed lands, with rich spiritual energy and abundant resources. To become a formal disciple of a large sect, you must complete the sect's quota tasks on time every month. As long as you don't make serious mistakes, you will not be expelled from the sect.

The Cang Ling Sect has a profound heritage and houses millions of books. She doesn't fight or compete, and doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. The Cang Ling Sect is the best place for her to live.

With his hat lowered, Jiang Yi walked slowly towards Jinli City.

The city is bustling with activity and the atmosphere is bustling.

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns~~"

At the roadside stall, white steam coming out of the steamer spread with the aroma of food. A little monkey squatted beside the steamer, grinning as he broke beans.

In the blacksmith shop, sparks flew everywhere, and under the stove was a little red lion, shaking its mane and breathing out flames vigorously.

The upright black bear, carrying a huge bag, followed its owner and passed by Jiang Yi.

The teahouse on the street was full of people, chatting and laughing. The spirits they brought with them became smaller in size, rolling and playing under the table, biting and licking each other's fur.

"The demonic tide has finally receded. Our major sects in Beixuan can now rest and recuperate for a while."

"In ten days or so, the Cang Ling Sect will hold the Immortal Ascension Conference to recruit new disciples."

"Is it the same this time as last time? Six-year-old children who haven't yet awakened their spirits can join the sect as registered disciples as long as they pass the spiritual root test. Other independent cultivators and demon masters will have to pass a mission assessment?"

"Because there's a spy in the Xuanying Sword Sect, this time the Cangling Sect is only recruiting independent cultivators and demon masters under the age of twenty who are in the Qi training stage."

Jiang Yi sat on the stone steps next to the tea stall, yawning, and listened to people discussing the Cang Ling Sect's recruitment of new disciples.

She wanted to join the Cang Ling Sect, but she had no choice but to take the quest assessment route. However, before that, she had to contract a demon spirit and officially become a demon tamer. Jiang Yi stood up and touched his shrunken storage bag, wondering if he could afford a demon spirit.

She had only saved up a little over a hundred low-grade spirit stones in two years, and was busy healing her wounds and traveling, so she had no energy to capture and tame wild demons herself.

What's more, taming wild demons requires the magical tool 'Demon Control Ring', which she can't afford.

There is a demon market in the city, selling a wide variety of demons.

Jiang Yi walked up to a stall and asked, "Do you have any dying earth and wood-type spirits for sale at a low price?"

"Whose demon are you cursing is dying? I think you're the one who's dying! Get out of here!"

"okay!"

After being scolded and driven away, Jiang Yi left quickly.

She is now in a peaceful state of mind and is too lazy to argue with others, which is completely different from when she was a sword cultivator and would draw her sword to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Jiang Yi wandered around from early morning to dusk, a rare instance of diligence. He visited all three demon spirit markets in Jinli City but couldn't find a demon spirit at a suitable price.

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth, then hung his head in dejection.

"My young Taoist friend, what are you thinking of buying a dying demon spirit?"

At the entrance of the Yaoling Market, a young man setting up a stall on the roadside asked Jiang Yi. He had been keeping an eye on Jiang Yi for an entire afternoon.

Jiang Yi secretly looked at the young man, who was about twenty years old and had at least reached the seventh level of Qi training. He had a strong wood spirit energy and must have controlled a wood-type demon spirit.

Wood element, what a coincidence.

Jiang Yi's eyes gleamed, and he smiled kindly. He squatted down and inspected the groceries on the man's stall, saying casually, "My master is an alchemist. He told me to buy some, so I came to buy them."

The man seemed to be lost in thought before introducing himself. "My name is Song Ming, a casual cultivator. May I ask who your master is? Do you know how to repair demon spirits and demon species?"

Jiang Yi chuckled. "If there really is such a method, then my master is truly amazing. You know, if the demon spirits below the Golden Core Stage have their demonic seeds shattered, they can only wait for death. My master probably wants to use the demon spirits while they are still alive to refine the elixir. The medicinal effect will be better than that of a completely dead demon spirit."

Song Ming nodded slightly, having heard of this statement before.

Jiang Yi stood up and stretched himself. "It's getting late. I should go back and report. Oh, I'm going to get scolded again!"

"Little Daoist friend, please wait!" Song Ming stood up and called to Jiang Yi. "I have a dying young Storm Demon here that I haven't contracted yet. I'd like a hundred low-grade spirit stones for it. Do you want it?"

Storm demon? !
Jiang Yi was shocked. Lan was a monster formed from the fog in the mountains, and its appearance was like a cloud. Even though she didn't know much about monsters, she knew that this kind of invisible and intangible monster was rare and had extraordinary potential.

Jiang Yi frowned, "Mist demon... My master wants a beast or plant with earth or wood attributes... And it's almost dead, so it's only worth the price of a demon species. Ten low-grade spirit stones are not more. You want a hundred low-grade spirit stones, too much!"

The Storm Monster is of the water element, but possesses characteristics that other animal and plant monsters do not have. The Storm Monster can accommodate a variety of attribute changes, especially the three unique attributes of wind, thunder and ice.

If it were a normal Storm Monster, even if it was in its juvenile state, even if its aptitude was only at the lower level of the five grades of 'Heaven, Earth, Profound Yellow, and Ordinary', it would still be worth a sky-high price.

Although it does not match its own earth and wood attributes, this storm monster is rare and cannot be missed.

Song Ming smiled helplessly, "I caught this by accident deep in Tiebei Mountain. It was already broken when I caught it. If I hadn't tried everything and wasted a lot of spirit stones to save it, I wouldn't have sold it. Now I just want to make some money before it dies completely."

Jiang Yi looked embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he nodded helplessly and pulled out a storage bag from his sleeve to take out the spirit stone.

"Give me the demon spirit bag too. I seem to have forgotten to bring my own demon spirit bag when I went out."

Song Ming was about to be laughed at by Jiang Yi. He took off the demon spirit bag and handed it to Jiang Yi, "Little Taoist friend, you really don't want to suffer any loss."

There was indeed a young little storm demon in the demon spirit bag, a cloud as big as a fist. The demon in the center of the cloud was grayish white and was of the lower mortal level.

There is a crack on the monster seed, which causes the spiritual energy in Xiaolan Monster to continuously dissipate. It looks like it will die completely in five or six days at most.

After the payment was made, Jiang Yi put the demon bag into his arms and quickly disappeared into the night.

Find a place and wait for her to use the "Sleeping Immortal Technique" to repair Xiaolan Yao's demon species, then you will make a fortune!
