I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 456 Qilin Essence Blood (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi didn't stay in the inn's lobby for long; she was too lazy to bother with social engagements these days.

However, before making an excuse to leave, she met with True Lord Huiyuan and True Lord Longri alone.

Knowing that Jiang Yi intended to name the new sect Cangling Sect, True Monarch Huiyuan was overjoyed and naturally willing to stay and contribute to the new Cangling Sect.

Lord Longri hesitated, because she was still worried about Danxi. She couldn't rest easy until she saw Danxi's safety with her own eyes.

Jiang Yi was naturally concerned, but from Dongzhou to Fuguang Sea, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator accompanied him, he would have to wait for a calm sea window period and travel by merchant ship, just like when Beixuan went to Dongzhou.

It is not recommended for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to travel alone. If True Monarch Longri wanted to go immediately, it would be very time-consuming and exhausting.

The sword cultivators from the Floating Light Sea who came to participate in the Heavenly Ranking Competition all set off from the Floating Light Sea in advance during the previous window period and stayed in the Eastern Continent for several years.

In the end, Longri decided to let Shang Shixu stay behind, and she went to Fuguang Sea alone to find Danxi first.

Jiang Yi bowed deeply. She should have gone to find her master and mother, but she was not capable of going to the Floating Light Sea alone at the moment. She had to stay in the Lingxu Sword Sect to reassure the three major sword sects and deal with the problem of Zhao Cangyun's demon core first.

This matter can only be entrusted to Lord Oboroji.

Jiang Yi wrote a letter to her master, asking Longri Zhenjun to deliver it to him so that her master could rest assured.

Lord Longri asked her if she wouldn't write a letter to her mother as well.

Jiang Yi simply smiled and shook her head before getting up to take her leave.

On the second floor of Donglai Inn, Liu Taozhi prepared a spacious guest room for Jiang Yi. Although everyone wanted to talk to her, they knew that she definitely needed to rest well to relieve her fatigue, so they did not disturb her.

There's plenty of time ahead, so there's no need to rush. After all, they'll be staying here eventually, and the Lingxu Sword Sect and the Xin Cangling Sect aren't too far apart, so they can travel back and forth at any time.

Jiang Yi discovered that after Luo Qingsi came out of the Kunlun Secret Realm, her natal sword Tingshang Broken had a new scabbard, which should be an extra reward for her winning the top spot on the Sword Dao Ranking.

Jiang Yi left Zhao Cangyun behind and asked Liu Taozhi to look after the others first, and then call her when Grandmaster Suhua arrived.

In the guest room, Jiang Yi took out a glass box and pushed it in front of Zhao Cangyun.

She now knows that it contains a drop of the essence blood of an ancient golden unicorn.

Zhao Cangyun could immediately recognize and sense what it was, and looked at Jiang Yi in surprise, "Senior Sister, did you give up your own reward and specially exchange it for this for me?"

Jiang Yi hummed in agreement. "If you absorb this drop of essence blood, it will not only repair your demon core, but also make your Qilin bloodline purer. As for your arm, with a little time and effort, I can help you reshape it."

The dignified seven-foot-tall man suddenly had tears in his eyes, looking at Jiang Yi with moist eyes.

"Senior Sister, I've actually wanted to ask you before, when exactly did you find out that I'm... a member of the Qilin clan?"

Jiang Yi took a sip of tea. "When I became an apprentice..."

"So early?!"

Zhao Cangyun was so surprised that his voice cracked. He thought that it was when he led the demon race to support Yunzhan Pass that his senior sister began to have doubts.

So ever since he became an apprentice, he thought he had hidden himself very well, but it turned out that was just wishful thinking.

"To be honest, your acting is terrible."

Zhao Cangyun stubbornly retorted, "But there's something else you definitely don't know!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Is today a confession session? Then tell me, what else do I not know?"

Zhao Cangyun suddenly felt a little smug. He raised his left hand, and a cluster of crimson flames ignited in his palm, slowly transforming into a small crimson colt with four hooves treading on fire.

"Senior Sister, do you still remember the Crimson Smoke Steed by Flying Heron Lake back then?"

Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback. All the doubts in her heart were resolved. No wonder Zhao Cangyun had been inexplicably kind to her since the first time she met him. He was almost always willing to grant her requests and even generously shared his essence.

Zhao Cangyun smiled bitterly, "Originally, I wanted to keep this secret and tell you when I became stronger and could truly protect you. But every time, it was Senior Sister who saved and helped me."

Jiang Yi smiled gently, "You and I are fellow disciples. Even without blood ties, we are the closest relatives in this world. Of course, I can't abandon you. If I were to watch you cut off your path of cultivation, how could I face my master in the future?"

Zhao Cangyun nodded vigorously, suppressing the tears welling up in his eyes.

"Many of the elders of the demon race said that humans are not trustworthy. Even when interacting with humans, one should maintain a degree of vigilance and suspicion and not give one's heart completely. But now I feel that this is not entirely true. Demons are different from each other, and humans are different from each other. There are evil demons and evil people in this world, as well as good demons and good people."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely strive to become a true Qilin King and lead the beast race. In the future, whether facing the demonic tide or the villains of the cultivation world, I will stand firmly by your and Master's side."

“Alright, I’ll wait and see. I’ll take you somewhere safer, with richer spiritual energy, where you can refine this drop of golden unicorn’s blood essence with peace of mind.”

Zhao Cangyun completely relaxed his body, letting Jiang Yi grab his wrist and instantly bring him into the Youxian Ferry.

The thunderous roar of the cascading waterfall reached his ears, and the dense, mist-like spiritual energy made Zhao Cangyun feel as if he were in the morning dew, his whole body cool and refreshed.

"Senior Sister, is this... a small grotto-heaven world?"

Zhao Cangyun looked around in surprise and curiosity. Above him was not the sky, but a silver sea of ​​clouds formed by countless sword energies. Fine sword light flowed like stardust, making the entire cave radiant with light.

Amidst the sea of ​​sword energy and clouds, a majestic Sword Tomb Mountain stands, its body studded with broken swords and blades. A waterfall like a silver river rushes down from the mountaintop, plunging into the vast, azure Sword Washing Pool below, where splashing water refracts a rainbow of colors.

Large emerald-green lotus leaves float on the surface of the pond, interspersed with white lotus flowers, their refreshing fragrance invigorating the senses.

In the center of the pool, a black and white lotus quietly blooms, its petals shimmering with iridescent light. It is absorbing the innate spiritual energy pouring down from the waterfall, while exhaling wisps of yin and yang energy that transform into fine mist and spread in all directions.

Along the shore, the spiritual fields are crisscrossed with paths, and spiritual herbs grow wildly like a carpet. Several blood ginseng babies, about the size of five or six-year-old children, with heads full of agate-like red fruits, hop and play. The leaf-eared rabbits are also several sizes larger than usual, with snow-white fur that gleams like jade, as they weed the spiritual fields.

The swarm of emerald-green bees flitted among the spiritual plants, their wings gleaming with a cold metallic light, their stingers sharp and menacing, exuding a fierce aura. They had transformed into spiritual insects that could be used for killing.

A small courtyard is enclosed by a bamboo fence by the lake, with a simple and elegant thatched pavilion and stone table. Further away, the Songfeng Pavilion is nestled in the mountain wall, its glazed tiles reflecting the sword light and flowing clouds, and the wind chimes on the eaves tinkling, like a fairy palace.

The entire world was filled with pure spiritual energy of the five elements, and five vast auras were distributed in the five directions, forming a cyclical pattern at the edge of the cave.

"follow me."

Jiang Yi led Zhao Cangyun to the depths of the weapon-refining cave. In the center of the earth fire pool, Hong Li transformed into her original form as a red fox and floated on the earth fire magma. Her three fox tails swayed leisurely. In addition, she had three more illusory flame tails.

The bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was gradually activated, and the earth fire rose and fell as Hong Li modified the "Nine Revolutions of Burning Heaven".

Jiang Yi said to Zhao Cangyun, "The Kunlun Treasure Vault contains many rare and precious materials that are now extinct. When the Kunlun Secret Realm opens next time, you should go in yourself."

"Right now, you will refine the Qilin's essence blood here to repair your demon core. This is my private territory, so you can safely restore your original form. Once your demon core is restored, I will help you reshape your arm."

Zhao Cangyun nodded. The magical treasures of the cave were already rare. His senior sister trusted him and brought him in, so he naturally trusted her as well. Only by quickly recovering his strength could he better serve his senior sister.

　Something came up this morning and I was delayed. The second update will be a little later; I'm writing it now.
