I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 326 Core Formation Mobilization Meeting (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi and Zhao Cangyun talked for more than an hour, with Zhao Cangyun doing all the talking while Jiang Yi listened quietly.

Zhao Cangyun is unaware that the situation in Beixuan is on the verge of collapse. He has great confidence in the demon race and believes that if the demon race and the human race join forces, they will surely wipe out the demon tide without leaving a single survivor.

Jiang Yi couldn't bear to discourage him, so she didn't mention anything. She figured that her master was discussing this very matter with the Ink Dragon King.

If Beixuan is not safe, the demon race will need to relocate to Dongzhou, and Zhao Cangyun will not be left here.

The jade snake, probably disturbed by the noise, suddenly crawled out of Zhao Cangyun's sleeve and bit him. Only then did Zhao Cangyun get up to take his leave.

Before returning to Youxian Ferry, Jiang Yi took out the Zhaoming Sword, transformed it into the Guichen Whip, rolled it up, and hung it on her waist to avoid a family war.

"I'm the one who should be in charge of this house, so why do I feel guilty like I'm cheating on someone else?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and entered the sword-nurturing gourd.

She currently possesses three swords and two zithers. Once she achieves the Golden Core stage, the Floating Life Zither and the Tribulation-Breaking Sword can be relegated to a secondary role.

She will then switch to using the spiritual artifact Qinghui Qin, with the Qianlin Sword concealed within the qin's body. They were originally a set, so there's no need to break the combination.

The Yaoling Sword and the Zhaoming Sword can be used together without conflict, and there is no rule that a sword cultivator cannot possess two swords. The Zhaoming Sword is associated with wood, and wood generates fire, so the Yaoling Sword may not necessarily reject the Zhaoming Sword. What if the Yaoling Sword likes the Zhaoming Sword?
"Let's test the waters with Yaoling Sword another day and ask it if it's willing to find a companion."

Inside the main hall of Songfeng Pavilion at Youxian Ferry.

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged behind the low table in the main seat and called Hua Gu, Hong Li, Zhen Shan and Duan Jin to his side, placing the Heart-Piercing Mirror face down on the table.

"Today we're holding a Core Formation mobilization meeting. Find a place to sit yourselves."

There are low tables and cushions on both sides of the main hall, three on the left and three on the right, for a total of six seats.

Hua Gu and Hong Li sat in the first row, Zhen Shan and Duan Jin sat in the second row. Since Yao Ling Sword did not need to form a core, Jiang Yi did not invite it to the meeting.

Jiang Yi got straight to the point, "It's like this, we've all reached the peak of Foundation Establishment now, and the next step is Core Formation. Each of you has a method for Core Formation in your cultivation techniques, so try to familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. If you don't understand anything, ask the Heart-Piercing Mirror."

At this moment, Duan Jin suddenly shivered, attracting Zhen Shan's attention.

"Wife, are you cold? That shouldn't be the case. We're made of stone, we can't feel hot or cold."

"Shut up, you stupid rock!"

Jiang Yi scanned the demons again with his Heavenly Eye Technique and nodded slightly. "I just checked again. Your grades are all at the upper level of Yellow Rank, just one step away from Profound Rank. You don't need to worry about that. I have prepared the materials needed for your advancement: Hua Gu's Gang Sha Thunder Crystal, Hong Li's Divine Beast Essence Blood, and the Heavenly Star Fragment that can destroy mountains and break gold."

"I don't yet have a clue about the Red Dust River water needed for the Heart-Piercing Mirror, but the Heart-Piercing Mirror is special, so it doesn't matter if we can't all form our cores together this time. After you form your cores, you can take human form. I wonder if any of you have any ideas?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the demons' eyes lit up. Although Hua Gu had no eyes, Jiang Yi could still feel the expectant look in her eyes.

"I will not require you to transform into a certain form. You can observe the people around you who are cultivating recently, and plan in your mind what you will look like after transformation. Or, when transforming, empty your mind and let nature take its course, and focus your energy on dealing with the tribulation lightning after transformation."

Hua Gu lowered her head and held hands, Hong Li's eyes darted around, Zhen Shan and Duan Jin exchanged a glance, neither of them caring about the matter of transformation.

"Finally, and most importantly, my natal spirit."

All three pairs of eyes of the four demons turned to Jiang Yi. Hua Gu nervously bit her hand, while Hong Li looked serious, as if to say, "If you don't choose me, I won't be friends with you anymore."

Zhenshan Duanjin knew they were newcomers and dared not have any expectations. Jiang Yi chuckled, "I don't want a natal demon spirit."

what?
All the demons were shocked. You're a demon tamer, why don't you want your natal demon spirit?
Jiang Yi patiently explained, "A demon tamer contracts with a natal demon spirit to enhance their own strength, making the demon spirit a part of themselves, as easy as using their own arm, supporting each other on the path to immortality. However, I feel that I am already strong enough, and having a natal demon spirit would only be icing on the cake."

“We are now fellow practitioners, and you are all independent individuals. You can choose your own path. There is no connection between us through our natal demon spirits. I can still borrow your teachings, and we can support each other and seek immortality together. For me, there is not much difference.”

After all, as of now, she hasn't found a good way to contract multiple natal spirits; all methods have drawbacks and require taking risks.

Everything is for my use, not for my possession; forcing things will only breed obsession.

The demon spirit doesn't belong to her; as long as they work together, their bond will be stronger than any contract.

The demons fell silent, and even the usually clever and cunning Hong Li felt that Jiang Yi's words made sense.

Most people who cultivate to form a natal demon spirit are actually just taking advantage of the demon spirit, turning its special abilities into their own, while pretending to be doing it for the demon spirit's good. Hong Li scoffs at this.

But Jiang Yi was different; she was shameless and openly took advantage of them, which Hong Li found very honest and acceptable.

Moreover, Jiang Yi provided them with many benefits, protecting them with her identity and background, allowing them to do whatever they wanted in the spiritually rich grotto of Youxian Ferry and give full play to their strengths.

They also found cultivation techniques and rare materials for them to help them improve their grade and achieve the formation of a golden core.

Hong Li thought to herself, even if Jiang Yi doesn't turn it into her natal spirit, the fox will still repay the favor.

Although Hua Gu was a little disappointed, she would always believe in Jiang Yi and support him. Whatever Jiang Yi said, Hua Gu would do.

The fact that they could "suppress mountains and break gold" didn't matter at all; on the contrary, people felt that Jiang Yi's decision showed that he truly regarded them as fellow cultivators, rather than as masters and servants.

Everyone reached a tacit understanding on this matter, and Jiang Yi felt relieved.

As for the Yin-Yang Pendant, it should be discarded so that Hua Gu and Hong Li are not bound together and can each choose their own future path.

Everything requires sacrifice in order to gain.

"Finally, the place where you advance to the Core Formation stage will be in the Youxian Ferry. I have thought about it carefully and discussed it with the Zhuxin Mirror. The Youxian Ferry contains a very stable Five Elements Array, which can help you resist the lightning tribulation during Core Formation and Transformation. It can also use the power of the array to balance the disordered spiritual power in your body during Core Formation."

"When the time comes, find your respective Five Elements location. There are high-grade spirit stones belonging to the Five Elements here. Each of you should take one thousand stones and keep them for emergencies."

Zhenshan and Duanjin are essentially one entity, both belonging to the Earth element.

Hua Gu belongs to the water element, while Hong Li belongs to the fire element.

The Heart-Piercing Mirror should be thrown in a direction associated with the metal element.

The remaining wood-related positions were sealed off with the Zhaoming Sword and the Green Wood Cauldron.

This way, there is no risk of error.

"Alright, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. You can all take your things and go prepare. I also need to go into seclusion for a while. Once Xuanhui Demon Lord finds the location of the Dream Demon's true form, we'll set off together to form our cores!"
