I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 381 The Hermit (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Most sword cultivators are poor, but not so poor that they can't afford a single spirit stone.

Lei Jingming originally thought that since he was already here, there was no harm in giving it a try, it was just a spirit stone.

But he was wrong!

Big mistake!

How wrong!

Then, when Chu Feng arrived at the top of Yunmiao Peak to begin today's challenge, before he even got close, he saw Lei Jingming standing outside the mist, his clothes disheveled, his blood boiling, gritting his teeth.

"hateful!"

Before Chu Feng could react, Lei Jingming rushed over like a gust of wind and grabbed his belt.

"Give it to me, give it to me now!"

Chu Feng: !!!
"Fuck your mother! Get the hell out of here—"

Chu Feng felt like he had swallowed a fly, and his sword energy erupted, directly knocking Lei Jingming back.

"You took the Hehuan Sect's medicine, you son of a bitch! I'm a man, and you... I... disgusting!"

Lei Jingming: ? ? ?

"No, you've misunderstood Junior Brother Chu. I just wanted to..."

"Screw you! Get lost—"

Lei Jingming approached, explaining, while Chu Feng defensively retreated, even drawing his sword.

"If you come any closer, I'll stab you to death with my sword!"

Lei Jingming looked down at himself. His clothes were torn by the sword energy, revealing his chest. He was flushed and sweating from excitement, and his breathing was rapid. It was indeed as if he had been drugged by the Hehuan Sect.

Lei Jingming calmed down and took two steps back.

"Junior Brother Chu, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to borrow some spirit stones from you, really just spirit stones..."

After some explanation, Chu Feng and Lei Jingming stood side by side in front of the wooden plaque at the entrance of the great formation. In the wine jar below, there was Lei Jingming's entire fortune, twenty-three spirit stones.

"Tch~ You poor wretch, all you have are these spirit stones?" Chu Feng mocked mercilessly.

Lei Jingming explained with a flushed face, "I just don't have any spirit stones, it doesn't mean I'm poor. The sword I have is worth tens of thousands, even more than a hundred thousand spirit stones. My scabbard is worth at least thirty or forty thousand. And those unused sword-grinding ore I have, each piece is worth a thousand gold. I'm not poor!"

What Lei Jingming said reflects the current situation of most sword cultivators.

Sword cultivators are not poor, they just lack spirit stones.

Chu Feng shrugged dismissively, dramatically rolling up his sleeves. "Since Senior Brother Lei has no spirit stones left, he can stay out of the way. Let me handle this!"

Fortunately, he still had more than a dozen spirit stones on him, otherwise he would have made a wasted trip today.

Neither of them seemed to find anything wrong with Jiang Yi's rules for the Flower Spirit Stone challenge. Lei Jingming might not have understood at first, but after witnessing Zhaoming's power within the formation, he simply felt...

It's a bargain!

There's no better sparring deal in the world!
The wine jar was right there, with spirit stones piled up inside. There was no one around, and the two of them had no intention of secretly taking it away, showing that they were of very upright character.

It's also possible that those who weren't upright were 'helped by others' or 'taken care of' by the clan rules, so that the entire clan became very upright.

"Oh, you're here so early?"

Jiang Yi's voice suddenly came from the side. The two looked up and saw Jiang Yi lazily squinting her eyes, looking like she had just woken up.

"You guys are busy, I'll find another place to sleep, make myself at home, don't be shy with me."

Before the two could reply, Jiang Yi walked towards a shady spot by the lake.

Chu Feng and Lei Jingming exchanged a glance, then, without thinking further, dropped a spirit stone and walked straight into the formation.

Lei Jingming suddenly realized that their mission was to challenge Jiang Heying, wasn't it?
Jiang Heying went to sleep. What are they doing now?

The young swordsman in the formation just now didn't seem to be alive; his aura was like... a sword! Lei Jingming usually liked to read miscellaneous books and was very interested in the strange tales of the cultivation world. He knew that there was a continent called Beixuan in the north of the Mountain and Sea Realm, where everything could be transformed into a demon spirit.

Unlike demonic beasts, which are only ferocious, demonic spirits have demonic seeds within them and develop intelligence earlier. After forming a contract with the Northern Mystic Demon Tamer, they receive the tamer's training and guidance and grow together with the tamer.

The young swordsman gave Lei Jingming the feeling of a transformed demon spirit, like the one described in the book, Bei Xuan.

"Could it be... that Jiang Heying is a cultivator from the Northern Xuan realm, and that young swordsman is her weapon? It seems that the Pavilion Master of Liuyun Pavilion, Sword Venerable Yunye, is from the Northern Xuan realm. No wonder Jiang Heying joined Liuyun Pavilion directly..."

Realizing this, Lei Jingming felt envious and suddenly realized that the sword in his hand, which had cost him all his wealth, no longer held any appeal.

They spent a lot of effort here, but they couldn't even beat Jiang Heying's sword.

Jiang Heying was sleeping on the side, and her sword beat them so badly they were howling. If Jiang Heying had picked up her sword herself, she would have beaten them to a pulp.
After all, spirits need to be nurtured and taught slowly. If the young swordsman is so powerful, then his master, Jiang Heying, must be even more powerful!

Suddenly, Lei Jingming looked at Jiang Yi with a solemn respect, and began to deeply realize the profound meaning behind Songtao Sword Master's setting of this task.

And then there's that rumor about Liuyun Pavilion that came out of nowhere.

It is said that the people in Liuyun Pavilion are not useless, but a group of hermits who have seen through the strife of the world.

"oops!"

With a scream, Chu Feng was sent flying for the first time today.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up, his clothes disheveled, his whole body flushed and sweating, looking even more like he had been drugged than Lei Jingming.

"Holy crap? You actually created new moves from my sword techniques? Brother, I absolutely adore you! If I don't beat you to a pulp today, I'll... come back tomorrow, hahaha—"

A spirit stone was precisely smashed into the jar.

Lei Jingming watched as Chu Feng, disheveled and acting like a pervert, pounced inside, and couldn't help but facepalm.

"What kind of indecent words are these!"

For sword cultivators, the sword Jiang Heying placed in the formation was even more potent than the medicine from the Hehuan Sect, making them unable to stop and wanting to come again and again!
No, he has to go back and get some spirit stones first, then come back to fight!
Lei Jingming believed that before long, when all the early-stage Golden Core sword cultivators of Guiyi Sword Pavilion were unable to defeat Jiang Heying, Songtao Sword Master would definitely reappear, adding mid-stage Golden Core sword cultivators to the mix.

By then, even if you have money, you won't be able to grab it!
Lei Jingming left in a hurry, while Chu Feng was still fighting bitterly in the battle.

Jiang Yi slept for a while in the shade by the lake, when suddenly several sword lights flew toward her from different directions.

There was the noble purple of the Primordial Sword Sect, two elegant whites of the Pure Subtle Sword Sect, and one simple gray of the Soaring Void Sword Sect. The simple gray flying sword had a small cloth bag tied to its bottom to seal the letter.

Jiang Yi sat up and collected the sword light from the flying swords that carried the messages into his hand.

As soon as her divine sense probed into the noble purple, she heard Luo Qingsi's crying.

"Senior Sister, when are you coming to pick me up? I miss you so much! Although my new master and the others here are quite nice to me, I still miss you. They're always trying to fight me, but I can't kill them. It's so annoying! Senior Sister, please come pick me up soon!"

Jiang Yi smiled. If Luo Qingsi went to the Lingxu Sword Sect, she would probably be fighting every day.

The elegant white flying sword was passed down from Hong Li. Hong Li is very obedient, and Jiang Yi is very satisfied.

One of them was passed down by Liu Taozhi.

"Senior Sister, I am doing well in Qingwei Sword Sect, please don't worry. I have now become a disciple of Sword Venerable Tinglan. She is the head of the ten Nascent Soul cultivators in Qingwei Sword Sect, and she also has a master named Refining Void Star Lord above her, but he is not in the sect at the moment and I have not yet paid my respects."

“I know that we Northern Xuan cultivators need a powerful backer. Sword Venerable Tinglan has always been interested in me, so I went along with it. I don’t know if I did anything wrong. Sword Venerable Tinglan brought up the matter of ‘exchanging disciples’ mentioned by Senior Sister, thinking it would be beneficial for communication between the three sects.”

"I have applied to Sword Master Tinglan. Once I have completed the initial training of the Qingwei Sword Manual, I will go to Lingxu Sword Sect as the first exchange disciple. At that time, I will be able to be with Senior Sister again. I hope Senior Sister is doing well in Lingxu Sword Sect. Respectfully yours, Yaoyao."

A doting smile unconsciously appeared on Jiang Yi's lips, and she suddenly felt the burden on her shoulders lighten.

Although she was seeking the path to freedom, subconsciously she couldn't help but plot for the Northern Xuan cultivators.

But now, Yao Yao has grown up and has a grandmaster at the Void Refinement stage. In the future, when Yao Yao becomes famous in the Eastern Continent, the Northern Xuan cultivators will have a small backer, and she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Laziness, add more!

Finally, there was the message-carrying flying sword from the Lingxu Sword Sect. Inside the sealing cloth strip below was a letter passed down to her by her master.

　The second update is still half a chapter away. I'll eat first, and then I'll write.
