I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 340 Desert Island (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

On the boundless sea.

The sky was clear and the sea and sky blended into one.

Jiang Yi sped southeast for more than ten days, but never saw any boats coming from Nanguan Ferry. Occasionally, he could see some broken planks being pushed away by the waves.

The Northern Xuan Continent has long since disappeared below the horizon, leaving only a vast expanse of blue.

Where the sea meets the sky, wispy clouds hang low, seemingly within reach.

Jiang Yixuan sped through the air, far away from the seemingly calm sea below.

Along the way, shadows always lurked in the dark sea, and occasionally the back of a giant beast could be seen cutting through the water, its scales gleaming like knives, disappearing in an instant.

Large merchant ships would have images of the sea monsters painted on their hulls, along with formations, to scare away these sea monsters and prevent them from getting close.

At this moment, Hua Gu Fen Gu and Yao Ling Jian flew back from different directions. Yao Ling Jian saw Hua Gu from afar and accelerated, determined to be the first to reach Jiang Yi's side.

However, the Yaoling Sword did not bring back good news. Hua Gu and Fen Gu pointed in a direction, indicating that there was a deserted island there where they could rest for a while.

"Finally, we can stop and rest for a bit."

The island is small and can be seen at a glance. The trees on the island are short but sturdy, with extensive underground root systems that grip the earth and can withstand strong winds at sea.

Despite his exhaustion, Jiang Yi set up a Five Elements Copper Coin Array upon arriving on the island to isolate potential dangers.

The Five Elements Copper Coin Array was damaged during the previous tribulation, and now it can only barely set up an illusion array.

Jiang Yi brought Hua Gu and Yao Ling Sword back to Youxian Ferry. As soon as she entered, a small section of immortal vine that had been entwined around the sword-nurturing gourd also entered Youxian Ferry, found a place to take root, and disappeared into the spirit field.

Jiang Yi left it alone for the time being and gathered everyone in the main hall of Songfeng Pavilion.

Everyone attended the meeting, including Yao Ling and Zhao Ming.

The Heart-Piercing Mirror is like it's crashed, not responding. It's very likely that it received too much information from the ancient tree and is currently undergoing a system upgrade.

Yao Ling and Hong Li were fighting over the front row seat closest to her, and they were about to fight. Jiang Yi was too tired to do anything about it and wanted to force the issue.

As it turned out, although Hua Gu was small in stature, she had the authority of an elder sister and arranged everything in just a few words.

Yao Ling and Zhao Ming sat together on the left side of the first row, Hua Gu and Hong Li sat together on the right side of the first row, and Zhen Shan Duan Jin sat on the left and right sides of the second row respectively.

Jiang Yi looked at Hua Gu and Hong Li sitting side by side, one well-behaved and upright, the other leaning on the table, baring her teeth at the opposite side, and they both looked so cute.

Jiang Yi coughed softly and said to the demons, "I've decided to rest here for a month. I've calculated that if my master is going to the Xuan Ying Sword Sect to find my mother, and they come from the east, following the merchant ship route from Nan Guan Ferry to the Eastern Continent, they will pass by this island."

"No matter what, I have to wait. At most, it will take two months. If we don't encounter them, we'll set off immediately, just in case this gale doesn't subside for long. We can handle long journeys and deal with sea monsters, but if we encounter the gale, we have no chance of survival."

Jiang Yi firmly believed that her master would be alright. The Golden Crow True Fire was also very effective against demons. Her master had Xuan Hui and Yin Lin by his side, and she herself was close to the late Nascent Soul stage. With her mother joining forces, it wouldn't be difficult for them to break through the demon tide.

The only variable is the spatial rift that separates Beixuan; it is the power of laws, and even Nascent Soul cultivators are powerless against it.

Putting aside these ominous thoughts, Jiang Yi assigned the demons their next tasks.

"Leave the travel to Hua Gu and Yao Ling. They are the fastest, and I can take over the control of the sword-nurturing gourd from them. We will take turns traveling and resting, just like before. The rest of you can stay in Youxian Ferry and consolidate your cultivation. Go about your business."

“We are penniless right now. Once we arrive in the Eastern Continent, we will be independent cultivators. I don’t even know where the Tai Xuan Sect is. We will have to earn all the cultivation resources we need, including our daily expenses. So, Hong Li and Duan Jin, thank you for your hard work in this regard. I will also hunt some sea monsters along the way to provide you with materials for refining weapons and pills.”

"Thank you, my lord." Duan Jin bowed in thanks. Hong Li, however, exclaimed, "The Green Wood Cauldron is broken, and the lid can't be opened."

"Qingmu Cauldron has been hit by the Heavenly Punishment Lightning and may need some time to recover. Hongli, you should help Duanjin refine all the chess pieces needed for the Star Luo Chess game, as well as various puppets, to build our own puppet army."

"In the future, if we encounter a sea beast tide, we will be more confident in dealing with it. You should know that at sea, my wood and earth elemental escape techniques are unusable, as is Duan Jin. Only Hong Li's short-range escape technique, Phantom Escape, remains, which will be a problem if we encounter trouble."

Jiang Yi is usually lazy, but at crucial moments, she always has a clear mind and deep thinking, and can point out a direction for the demons.

Hongli's ears twitched. "Alright, I'll stop refining pills for now."

Danxi gave Hongli a lot of weapon crafting diagrams, so she could use the resources available in Youxian Ferry to see what was valuable and craft it in advance.

Once they reach the Eastern Continent, they can be sold for spirit stones.

Hua Gu took out a bunch of things from her storage ring: spirit stones, pills, magic weapons, clothes, and jewelry.

"Given by my grandmaster."

Hongli clicked her tongue in disappointment, looking utterly exasperated.

Jiang Yi refused to accept it, saying, "If your master gave it to you, then keep it."

Hua Gu nodded obediently, took out several black bracelets from inside, and gave them to Zhen Shan Duan Jin and Zhao Ming respectively.

"Our master said that it can conceal demonic energy and also sense everyone's location. Everyone should wear it for safety."

Now all the demons have the same bracelet as Zhao Cangyun. After transforming, they can walk around like human cultivators. As long as they don't provoke cultivators above the late Nascent Soul stage, they will basically not be exposed.

Jiang Yi was grateful to her master for planning for her. She didn't know much about the Eastern Continent, but she knew that in the eyes of cultivators in the Eastern Continent, demons were resources for refining weapons and pills.

Cultivators in the Eastern Continent raise demonic pets as slaves, often using cruel methods.

At this stage, all the demons have entered the Golden Core stage, and Hong Li can continue to cultivate the "Spirit Fire Forging True Technique". The three fire beast clones have materialized and are fighting alongside her. Hong Li also has three kinds of strange fire: Hundred Beast Spirit Fire, Candle Moth Purifying Fire and Yin Erosion Moth Fire. She has absorbed the Xuanwu Heart Fire to enhance her defense, and her strength should not be underestimated.

Although Zhenshan and Duanjin possess limited magical abilities, they can now begin cultivating the "Nine Mountains Collapsing Fist" and the "Mysterious Yellow Scripture" left behind by Emperor Kun, which will significantly enhance their strength.

Zhaoming and Yaoling have sword techniques personally taught by her, but Huagu is different. The "Wind and Thunder Transformation" itself is an incomplete technique, lacking the Golden Core stage part. We need to find a new technique suitable for Huagu to cultivate.

She herself also needed a new fire-based cultivation technique, and when she had time, she also needed to find out where the Breath Earth was, and began to study the "Kun Yuan Creation Technique" left behind by Emperor Kun.

“A demon spirit at the Golden Core stage can merge with a demon tamer or become a weapon in the demon tamer’s hands. Unfortunately, Hua Gu’s attributes don’t match mine.”

Jiang Yi murmured to himself, suddenly thinking that if a demon spirit in the Golden Core stage had high comprehension, it could merge and recombine the low-level spells it had learned in the past, and might be able to create high-level spells.

This is a strategy that can temporarily improve Hua Gu's strength at the Golden Core stage. We can try it with Hua Gu when we return to our journey.

After discussing the follow-up arrangements, Jiang Yi told the demons to go about their business, leaving only Zhaoming behind.

Seeing this, Yao Lingjian also refused to leave, whether out of concern that Jiang Yi might do something to its brother or out of jealousy, it was unclear.

"Alright, let's refine you together again. In the process, we can also strengthen the bond between you based on wood and fire."

Besides these two, there are also the Qinghui Qin and the Qianlin Sword waiting to be refined. These two spiritual weapons do not currently have any weapon spirits. It is unknown whether they have never been born or whether the weapon spirits have been dormant due to the passage of time.

Refining spiritual artifacts consumes a great deal of energy and spirit. I only hope to complete it within a month so that I have more means to protect myself.

　I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't be able to update again. See you tomorrow!
