I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 311 Gains and Losses (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

While Shen Puning and Shang Shixu were still deliberating which door to choose, Xin Wushuang walked straight ahead with an indifferent expression and smoothly pushed open a black iron door that was right in front of her.

As soon as Xin Wushuang entered, the door vanished into thin air, and it probably won't reappear.

The Yaoling Sword soared into the sky, deliberately overturning the red glass and shaking the flower maiden, before crashing into the largest door at the highest point.

Hong Li was furious and chased after him, yelling. She couldn't catch up with Yao Ling Jian, so she waited for the next door to turn to the highest point, then smashed it open. Her competitive spirit was quite strong.

Hua Gu looked around and chose a white jade door on the third floor, which was carved with small flowers.

Zhenshan insisted on following Duanjin, who was still holding up the Heart-Piercing Mirror, letting its light sweep across every door in the area to help her choose.

Jiang Yi looked around and her gaze fell on an ordinary, even somewhat dilapidated, wooden door on the second floor.

That door reminded her of the inn where she stayed when she traveled from Xichuan City to Cangling Sect's Jinli City that year.

She made a contract with Hua Gu in that guest room that could only fit a bed and a table, and began her new life.

"It's you!"

Jiang Yi moved nimbly, leaping across the wall a few times before arriving at the wooden door, which she then pushed open and entered.

After the blinding light faded, what came into view was a dilapidated house that looked exactly like the broken wooden door.

Several rusty woodworking tools, including a saw, chisel, and plane wrapped with hemp rope, hung on the mottled earthen wall, all covered in a thick layer of dust.

In the corner lay several moldy wooden planks, their grain riddled with wormholes, crumbling at the slightest touch.

In the center of the room was only a three-legged stool, with a wooden stump covered in axe marks propping up the missing leg.

"They really are consistent inside and out, not deviating from the usual formula at all. They really have nothing at all?"

Jiang Yi was both amused and exasperated. She had bet that there was something good hidden beneath the rubbish, but her gamble had failed.

Jiang Yi's divine sense remained undisturbed within the room, allowing him to instantly survey the small space and find nothing of spiritual energy.

"Did you think I would leave disappointed? You're wrong!"

Jiang Yi waved her hand and put all the movable tables, benches, scrap wood, and broken tools in the house into a separate storage bag. If the wall panels could be removed, she would have torn down the whole house.

Even if you take it back and use it as firewood, that's a kind of gain!
Following her pre-established plan and after confirming that nothing was overlooked, Jiang Yi left through the door she had come in through, only to be directly teleported to the chessboard square at the entrance to the forbidden area.

Xin Wushuang had already come out and was standing next to the gatekeeper holding a spear. He was fiddling with an exquisite black iron crossbow, which was similar to the repeating crossbow used by the Thousand Machine Crossbowmen they had encountered before, but smaller and more delicate.

"Wushuang, you're in luck," Jiang Yi said as she walked over.

Xin Wushuang smiled and said, "Hmm, I really like this 'Thousand Machine Repeating Crossbow'. It can be folded up and hung on the side of the waist. When needed, it can be opened with a flick. The crossbow's arrow box can be pre-loaded with a hundred arrows."

"I can also condense my true essence into arrows. As long as I get used to the crossbow arrows, I can use them even without an arrow box. This makes up for the fact that I can't use my hunting bow when the enemy gets close."

Xin Wushuang had previously consulted Zhao Cangyun about swordsmanship, but Zhao Cangyun's swordsmanship was fierce and wide-ranging, which was not suitable for Xin Wushuang. She only learned the basics, and when it came to using a sword against an enemy, it was better to just run away.

There was a commotion nearby. Jiang Yi turned his head and saw the Yaoling Sword appear. The sword was ringing and sparking, and there were some fragments stuck to the hilt. Jiang Yi knew at a glance that he had not gotten the Yaoling Sword. In anger, he chopped down the house.

Next up was Hong Li, who also came out blazing with anger, baring her teeth and whimpering.

Hong Li not only gained nothing, but also lost the ten mid-grade spirit stones she had painstakingly saved. Without putting spirit stones in that broken bowl, the door couldn't be opened, and it couldn't get out.

One mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but one hundred low-grade spirit stones cannot be exchanged for a mid-grade spirit stone.

It wants to use low-grade spirit stones instead, but it won't take that broken bowl away!

It tried to smash the broken bowl, but couldn't break it or take it away. (~) It was so angry!
Hua Gu, Zhen Shan, and Duan Jin came out one after another. Hua Gu was still the same as before, and she rushed into Jiang Yi's arms. Before she could even wriggle around, her body suddenly started to tremble like a dog. Then, when Hua Gu looked up, two eyes appeared on the cloud, one black and one white.

Jiang Yi reached out and removed the two eyes, discovering they were two chess pieces. When placed in her palm, the pieces extended eight metal legs, crawling around in Jiang Yi's palm like spiders, seemingly searching for something.

Hua Gu then presented her storage ring to Jiang Yi like a treasure. Jiang Yi scanned it with his divine sense and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

There were lots of metal scraps inside, which were red copper refined gold, which was even better than black iron and was also a main material for forging puppets. Did Hua Gu empty the rat hole?

In addition, there are a large number of rat and spider puppets that have temporarily lost their ability to move.

"Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Hua."

Jiang Yi patted Hua Gu, threw everything into Youxian Ferry, returned the ring to Hua Gu, and said they would study the two chess pieces later.

Zhenshan Duanjin, Pu Ning and Shang Shixu, and Mo Ling and Mo Liao appeared almost at the same time.

Jiang Yi could tell from the undisguised joy on Mo Ling and Mo Liao's faces that the siblings had made a good harvest.

Shang Shixu held the jade flute and shook his head with a wry smile when Jiang Yi looked over, indicating that he hadn't gained anything.

Shen Puning shook her head in disappointment, but the pearl that followed her out was wearing a suit of armor with hidden mechanisms and weapons. It circled around Shen Puning triumphantly, wanting Shen Puning to praise it.

Zhenshan and Duanjin walked over. Zhenshan handed over the storage bag and was about to speak when Duanjin elbowed him in the chest, signaling him that there were outsiders present and he should not speak.

Zhenshan quickly covered his mouth with "oh oh oh," being very obedient.

The storage bag given by Zhenshan contained some unprocessed ore.

Duan Jin returned the storage bag and the Heart-Piercing Mirror, his eyes showing a slight disappointment.

Duan Jin couldn't find what she wanted; the only thing in her storage bag was an old chessboard whose purpose was unclear.

There must be some connection between the chessboard and the pieces; casting a wide net does indeed have its advantages.

Jiang Yi patted Duan Jin on the shoulder, "You've worked hard. Gains and losses are all in the hands of fate, don't worry about it. You should go back and rest first."

Jiang Yi stuffed all the demon spirits and things back into Youxian Ferry, and then sat down in a corner of the square with Shang Shixu, Shen Puning, and Xin Wushuang to wait for Chu Qianji and the others to come out.

Mo Ling and Mo Liao returned to the forbidden area to find other Mo family disciples, most likely intending to take them to the Heavenly Crafting Maze again.

During this time, Shen Puning finally had the opportunity to ask Shang Shixu about his experiences over the years. Before, they boarded the ship as soon as they met, and were trapped in Jiang Yi's formation. When they came out of the formation, they arrived at Mo Family Fortress. They didn't have time to chat at all.

Shang Shixu said a few words briefly, without mentioning his relationship with Gu Lou.

Jiang Yi remained silent, allowing the Heart-Piercing Mirror to project a 3D map of the Heavenly Crafting Labyrinth, carefully recording it in the jade slip and marking the location where they had fallen into the Thousand Machine Universe.

As closing time approached, the Mo family disciple who had led the way came up the cloud ladder, looking at Jiang Yi and the others with expectant eyes.

Jiang Yi walked straight over and handed over the map she had just recorded.

"We've found the secret deep within the Heavenly Crafting Labyrinth, thanks to Mo Ling and Mo Liao. But since we're not disciples of the Puppet Path, we didn't gain any significant cultivation techniques there. That place is special; each person can only enter once. You can ask Mo Ling and Mo Liao for details."

What Jiang Yi said, the Mohists had no choice but to believe, even if Jiang Yi held back, there was nothing the Mohists could do about it.

After all, Jiang Yi already has a formidable mother, and now she has an even more formidable master.

After a lot of trouble, Jiang Yi returned to the inn in Mo Family Fortress, closed the door and entered Youxian Ferry. After studying it with Zhuxinjian and Duanjin, he discovered that what they had always wanted was this 'Starry Sky Chess Game'.

Besides, the broken wooden stump that Jiang Yi brought back from the dilapidated house, which was used to prop up the table legs, turned out to be a multi-functional box with a hidden secret.
