I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 414 Reunion with an Old Friend (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After the breakthrough was over, Jiang Yi began rubbing his hands together.

"Master, now that I'm going to represent our Flowing Cloud Pavilion in the ranking competition, shouldn't you, as the Pavilion Master, do something to show your support?"

The Sword Tomb has been asleep for ten years, and apart from the spiritual herbs in the ground, there is nothing left in Youxian Ferry.

After the proceeds from the previous raid on the mine were distributed among the demons, they were all used to buy various materials, most of which were then used by Duan Jin to refine into various types of puppets.

The cultivation of Zhenshan and Duanjin also requires the absorption and consumption of ores. Youxiandu now has more than a thousand puppet warriors in reserve, not counting the functional spider puppets and rat puppets.

This is the largest expense for the entire family, but it is also the main force in the fight against danger in the future, and it is an expense that absolutely cannot be cut back on.

Hua Gu used all her spirit stones to buy materials to repair the facilities in Youxian Ferry, and even built a new shed for the Leaf-eared Rabbit.

Hua Gu even built herself a wine cellar for brewing spirit wine, and the various types of spirit wine produced in the cellar were able to sell for some spirit stones this time.

Overall, since Hong Li left, Jiang Yi's family income has decreased significantly.

Looking at it this way, Jiang Yi really missed Hong Li, wondering where she had run off to.

Jiang Yunye chuckled, "Your grandmaster has nothing but this sword in his hand. I even borrowed money to build my shack. Competing for the rankings is your own business. You have to rely on yourself. Liuyun Pavilion has never cared about those empty titles."

With that, Jiang Yunye patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder, got up, and left.

"Go to Qing Shi City and find Yao Yao. She has prepared everything for you."

……

Bluestone City.

With less than ten days until the start of the Sword Dao Ranking competition, cultivators from all directions flocked to Qing Shi City.

The long street was teeming with people, with cultivators of all kinds of clothing and accents jostle shoulder to shoulder. The spiritual energy fluctuations were mixed and noisy, making it more than ten times more lively than usual.

As soon as Jiang Yi entered the city, he sensed Hua Gu's location, and sure enough, she was in the city.

She strolled leisurely down the street, the flow of magical power brought about by her breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm giving her a sense of detachment and composure amidst the hustle and bustle.

"Sister!"

Suddenly, someone greeted Jiang Yi from the roadside. Jiang Yi turned his head and saw two early-stage Golden Core sword cultivators from the Lingxu Sword Sect.

Jiang Yi nodded in acknowledgment and then left first, much to the other party's excitement.

"Look at our senior sister's demeanor, doesn't she have the air of that heartthrob from that book?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there really is! Especially after Senior Sister came out of seclusion, she seemed to be a completely different person!"

During this period, many disciples of the Lingxu Sword Sect were either working to earn spirit stones or buying things in various places in preparation for participating in the ranking competition in Qing Shi City.

As Jiang Yi walked down the street, people would call her "Senior Sister" from time to time, attracting the attention of passersby.

Especially when she encountered those late-stage Golden Core cultivators who still addressed her as "Senior Sister," passersby were puzzled and inquired about the situation from those around them.

Jiang Yi made no attempt to hide or avoid the situation, allowing others to observe and spy on her.

Her gaze swept across the crowd, landing on the cultivators, both men and women, whose attire was gorgeous and dazzling, and whose appearances were unparalleled.

Their eyes and brows exuded a natural charm, and every move they made seemed to draw the light around them, attracting countless glances and comments from passersby.

This is some kind of bewitching technique, which Jiang Yi had only seen in books before.

"Look, those are disciples of the Joyful Union Sect! Tsk, they live up to their reputation, they're quite a sight to behold."

"That's right. I've heard that the Dual Cultivation Method of the Joyful Union Sect places great emphasis on appearance and demeanor, and even those who have just entered the sect are not lacking in these qualities."

"Look, that cold-faced senior brother from the Xuanbing Pavilion of the Lingxu Sword Sect is being harassed again?"

Several scattered cultivators nearby whispered among themselves, their voices filled with gossipy excitement. Jiang Yi followed their gaze and saw a stunningly beautiful female cultivator at the street corner, smilingly stopping a young sword cultivator dressed in a plain blue robe from the Xuanbing Pavilion, whose face was cold and stern.

The female cultivator stared intently at the young sword cultivator. "Young man, why are you so aloof? How many years has your Xuanbing Pavilion Master cultivated the ruthless path? A few years ago, during the marriage ceremony of our Hehuan Sect's Red Crisp Fairy, didn't he go and steal her away? Shouldn't this deep affection be a beautiful story of the two sects' bond? Why do you always have such a stern face, young man?"

The Xuanbing Pavilion disciple's expression seemed to grow even colder, but due to his sect leader's shocking actions, he felt guilty and could not retaliate, so he could only turn his face away stiffly.

"Little brother, do you know that the more indifferent you are, the more I like you?"

"You!" The young swordsman's ears turned red.

Jiang Yi chuckled. The Path of Ruthlessness was indeed the path with the lowest graduation rate in the cultivation world.

On this long street, you can see not only sword cultivators from the Xuanbing Pavilion being stopped and flirted with by disciples of the Hehuan Sect, but also a group of sword cultivators from the Fenxin Pavilion, who are striking poses and chasing after female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect.

"Look, here we go again. Every day, the Xuanbing Pavilion members are driven to the brink of murder by their harassment, while the Fenxin Pavilion members are relentlessly pursuing the Hehuan Sect."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this scene is a hundred times more exciting than any of Lou Tianji's novels!"

Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the name 'Lou Tianji'!
Lou Tianji?!

Is Yao Yao back in the game again?

Is this another attempt to make fun of her?
Jiang Yi stopped and was about to ask the passersby about Lou Tianji.

"Sister!"

Suddenly, a voice, urgent and excited, that was both familiar and long-lost to Jiang Yi, pierced through the noise of the street and precisely entered Jiang Yi's eardrums.

Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly turned her head.

In the sea of ​​people, a familiar figure came into view, with the two knives, one long and one short, still hanging at the waist.

Although his features seemed more upright, and he exuded a more composed and reserved air, tempered by life's trials, his vibrant spirit like a fawn in the forest, the bright, star-like gaze in his eyes, and the smile with its shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth clearly revealed...

Zhao Cangyun!
He jumped up excitedly in the crowd, ignoring the surprised looks from those around him, and waved his arms vigorously.

"Senior Sister! We're here! We're here!"

His voice was loud and eager, filled with the ecstatic joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Behind Zhao Cangyun, Shang Shixu, dressed in white, held a jade flute, his expression serene, yet his eyes revealed a hint of a smile as he nodded slightly in greeting.

There was also Lord Longri, whose silver-white robe shimmered with starlight, his smiling gaze fixed on Jiang Yi.

Zhao Cangyun was so eager that he pushed aside the people blocking his way and rushed straight to Jiang Yi. He was so excited that he was at a loss for what to do. In the end, he could only put his left hand on the back of his head and chuckle foolishly.

"Senior Sister, I've finally found you."

"Cangyun..."

Looking at the familiar yet somewhat composed and unfamiliar face before her, Jiang Yi murmured softly.

A mix of complex emotions welled up in Jiang Yi's mind, causing her eyes to slightly heat up.

Jiang Yi took a step forward and put her hand on Zhao Cangyun's arm. Just as she was about to ask him a few words of concern, she suddenly felt something was wrong with the touch in her palm.

She suddenly grabbed Zhao Cangyun's right arm, rolled up his sleeve, and her pupils contracted sharply.

That wasn't Zhao Cangyun's original arm, but a prosthetic arm that was attached later.

What happened to your arm?

　There's an extra chapter for those who voted for monthly tickets. I'll write it later; I'm going to take a nap first!
