I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 377 A Challenge Arrives (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi stayed on the summit of Yunmiao Mountain for three months.

New members of the sect have three months to adapt and handle their personal affairs; they are not required to perform sect missions.

Jiang Yi didn't go down the mountain, nor did she see any other people in the mountain. She, along with Hua Gu and Zhen Shan Duan Jin, built a small house near her master's Yunye Residence. Hua Gu even fenced off a flower garden in front of the house and paved a path with bluestone slabs.

The spiritual energy of Yunmiao Peak is very rich, especially at the top of the mountain. The lake and the clouds on the mountaintop are the best energy for Hua Gu's cultivation. Even when there are occasional storms, lightning and thunder, Hua Gu can still happily wander among them.

Every day she would pick wildflowers, weave them into a crown, and wear it on her head. She would also make sure to give one to Jiang Yi, secretly placing it on Jiang Yi's head while she was sleeping.

Jiang Yi set up a Five Elements Copper Coin Array on the mountaintop to prevent anyone from barging in and disturbing her sleep.

She had been nurturing this formation with her divine sense, repeatedly deepening the array patterns with her divine sense star sword to enhance its power.

With the protection of a great array, Zhenshan and Duanjin sometimes absorb the Xuanhuang Qi from the mountain peak and the earth veins on Yunmiao Peak to cultivate the Xuanhuang Scripture together. Sometimes they return to Youxian Ferry to study the art of puppetry together.

The two swords, Zhaoming and Yaoling, remained in the Sword Tomb Mountain of Youxian Ferry. Zhaoming was trying to comprehend the Lingxu Sword Intent, while Yaoling followed him around every day.

Yao Ling is now very fond of Zhao Ming, and the two swords are inseparable, like shadows.

Although Zhaoming appears as a young bamboo swordsman, ultimately, Zhaoming is just a sword and has no gender; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to resist shipping him with another character.

Unfortunately, Zhaoming currently lacks worthy opponents for training. Although the sword intent in the sword qi cloud sea can evolve into a dueling arena to fight against Zhaoming, it is ultimately just an inanimate object. It cannot compare to the speed of progress he can make by fighting against living people, which is a bit of a waste of Zhaoming's talent.

In Youxian Ferry, the Leaf-eared Rabbits have multiplied in broods, and now the entire spirit field is filled with rabbits running around.

The guardian stone golem and the blood ginseng doll remained the same, diligently tending to the spiritual herbs in the spirit field, which Hong Li had asked them to plant before she left.

Hong Li also stored some strange fire for her in the Yin-Yang Pendant. In the other half of the Xuanbing Cave, the little snow demons were still splitting themselves.

The immortal vine absorbed the power of the breathing soil and took root and sprouted from the center of the spirit field. Jiang Yi wanted to find a pole to lean on, but no matter what she brought, the tender branches of the immortal vine were whipped away by the pole.

This temper of his has a similar feel to that of the Guardian Vine back then.

In a fit of anger, she planted the Broken Tribulation Sword into the spirit field, intending to intimidate the disobedient immortal vine seedlings. Unexpectedly, the immortal vine seedlings actually climbed up the bamboo-like scabbard of the Broken Tribulation Sword.

Jiang Yi could only leave the Broken Tribulation Sword to the Immortal Vine seedling; as long as the old man was happy.

At the lakeside on the mountaintop, Jiang Yi rested his head on his arms, chewing on a blade of grass, wondering when he would go to the Internal Affairs Hall today. It was the last day, and he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive if he didn't go.

Golden Core stage cultivators in the Lingxu Sword Sect must complete one Grade A mission or three Grade B missions each year. The rest of their time is their own, and they can freely cultivate within the sect.

No monthly allowance!

This line was written five times in the largest font in the sect manual.

Each Sword Pavilion also has some daily tasks, according to what Jiang Yi read in the sect handbook.

Some tasks may be so outrageous that they are treated as typical cases in the sect's handbook and included in the sect rules that forbid them from being done.

For example, [Please do not use female cultivators from the Qingwei Sword Sect to undergo their love tribulations. If they are killed, the sect will not care and will only applaud.]

"Ok?"

Jiang Yi suddenly sensed someone aggressively charging into the Five Elements Copper Coin Formation she had set up.

She sat up abruptly and spat out the grass in her mouth.

"That's strange. I've only been in the Lingxu Sword Sect for three months. Apart from Luo Xingwen from the Internal Affairs Hall and my own master, I don't know anyone else. Who would come to cause me trouble?"

Jiang Yi secretly probed the Five Elements Coin Array with her divine sense.

……

When Chu Feng reached the top of Yunmiao Peak, he paused, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

The view from the mountaintop was even worse than he had heard. Sunlight slanted across the bare bluestone ground, overgrown with weeds and littered with pebbles. The door to the lakeside house, 'Yunye Residence,' was half-open, its doors weathered and looking as if they might collapse at any moment.

There was no one around, only the chirping of forest birds and the rustling of the wind through the grass, which made the place seem even more desolate.

"This wretched place doesn't even have a mountain-protecting formation, and there are hardly any living people around. No wonder it's called a wasteland."

Chu Feng muttered in a low voice, looking around and shaking his head.

"What kind of good person would join the Flowing Cloud Pavilion? What kind of sword masters could come from this place?"

Chu Feng only joined Guiyi Sword Pavilion at the beginning of this year and is in the early stage of Golden Core.

Just yesterday, Songtao Sword Master, who is usually elusive and doesn't care much about Guiyi Sword Pavilion, suddenly appeared in the pavilion and personally added a new task to the task list.

All early-stage Golden Core disciples in the pavilion are required to defeat a female cultivator from the Flowing Cloud Pavilion named 'Jiang Heying' every month in order to receive the resources for that month.

The Guiyi Sword Pavilion was in an uproar. They didn't know how Jiang Heying of the Liuyun Pavilion had offended the Songtao Sword Master. The old man was so angry that he was too embarrassed to take action himself and instead issued such a task without regard for his reputation.

It's a long-term task that needs to be done every month.

Although there aren't many sword cultivators at the early Golden Core stage in Guiyi Sword Pavilion, there are still more than thirty. There are only thirty days in a month. If one goes there every day, they'll be beaten to death.

Guiyi Sword Pavilion is the top of the ten sword pavilions, and its members are the most elite disciples of Lingxu Sword Sect. It would be quite inappropriate for Guiyi Sword Pavilion to bully Liuyun Pavilion, which is at the bottom and only has seven members.

Even if Sword Master Songtao were shameless enough to issue such a task, the early-stage Golden Core sword cultivators in Guiyi Sword Pavilion would still feel embarrassed to accept it.

Finally, after rounds of fierce competition, Chu Feng fought with all his might and narrowly defeated his opponent of the same level. He thought the winner wouldn't have to go, but everyone laughed at him for "winning the prize".

Chu Feng suddenly realized that Songtao Sword Lord's shamelessness was affecting others.

"I heard that Jiang Heying only joined the sect three months ago, but there's no one here... wait a minute!"

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, his body radiating sword energy, and then probed more closely.

"Oh no! We've entered an illusion array! Isn't Jiang Heying a sword cultivator? How does he know how to set up an illusion array?"

Guiyi Sword Pavilion uses swords to break all laws and despises array tricks the most, which made him furious.

"Break it for me!"

With a clang, the Flowing Light Sword was drawn from its sheath, and a fierce sword aura cleaved through the air, the sword light as fast as lightning, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.

The illusionary screen before them ripped apart with a snap, leaving the mottled grass and dilapidated door unchanged, but a figure suddenly appeared before them.

He was a young swordsman wearing a bamboo hat and a bamboo mask to cover his face. He was as slender as a pine tree, and his thin blue robe was as light as paper. Yet he held a long sword with a fiery pattern that was entirely crimson.

The sword's blade shimmered with a faint, burning light, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by an invisible heat wave, exuding a palpable killing intent.

"What a sword!"

Chu Feng exclaimed in amazement, "The cultivators of Guiyi Sword Pavilion are the most knowledgeable about weapons. This sword is clearly a divine weapon."

Before he could finish speaking, a woman's voice came from somewhere.

You're the one who's shameless!

"Who's there? Hiding is not the act of a gentleman, come out!"

"Heh~ You have no manners at all trespassing on other people's territory. You want to see your grandma? You'd better beat down my weakest subordinate first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy in the straw hat slowly raised his hand, his crimson longsword pointing directly at Chu Feng. The wind swirled the golden leaves, and the battle was about to begin.
