I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 463 Assigning Tasks (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

This was the first time Jiang Yi had seen the Jade Serpent in its transformed form. Just like Hong Li had been, it hadn't fully transformed.

The Jade Serpent has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake. Because it is relatively young in the Ink Dragon Clan, it looks like a seven or eight-year-old boy.

With short black hair, golden vertical pupils, and a habitual flicking of his scarlet forked tongue as he spoke, he looked quite eerie, exuding a sinister aura even at a young age.

Jade Serpent felt Jiang Yi's scrutinizing gaze, looked down at its snake tail, and shouted an explanation: "It's because he was injured right after forming his core that my transformation was incomplete, you big piece of trash!"

Zhao Cangyun usually has a fiery temper, but now that Yu Hui is pointing his finger at him and scolding him, he doesn't dare to refute because he feels guilty.

Jiang Yi got back to the main point, "You just said you sensed your brother's presence, where is it? And who is your brother?"

Yu Hui quickly replied, "My brother is of course a brother of my Jiao clan. He is near this inn. Your great formation is blocking my senses, so I can't sense him very clearly."

Zhao Cangyun couldn't help but stand up and walk quickly to the guest room window, while Jiang Yi also waved to remove the large array inside the room.

Their guest rooms were in the backyard on the first floor of the inn, with the back windows facing the bustling back street of the market. There weren't many cultivators outside at the moment, and Zhao Cangyun sniffed, carefully discerning the smells.

A moment later, he was jolted.

"It's definitely the scent of my Northern Xuanjiao clan! I didn't smell it when I entered the market earlier."

Yu Hui asked nervously, "My mother led the Northern Xuan underground demon clan, following the guidance of True Monarch Danxi, to leave by ship from the western sea area of ​​Northern Xuan. They were preparing to go to the sea area beyond the Floating Light Sea. I heard that there are rampant demon beasts there, and human cultivators dare not easily set foot there. How did they end up here?"

Jiang Yi stood up and comforted him, "Don't worry, maybe something happened at sea and they got separated by accident. The Ink Dragon King is a Nascent Soul demon, he won't get into trouble so easily."

"Senior Sister, I'm going to find the source of this smell. You wait here."

"I'll go with you."

The jade snake quickly transformed back into a small black snake and followed Zhao Cangyun, who had climbed out of the window.

"Let Zhaoming go with you. If you need to make a move, let Zhaoming take the lead."

As Zhaoming drew his sword, Jiang Yi gave him the bracelet that concealed his demonic aura and the Leaf-Blinding Technique, instructing him to follow Zhao Cangyun and the others.

Everyone was busy, and Jiang Yi felt awkward resting at the inn, so...

"Everyone come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five beams of spiritual light shot out from Jiang Yi's dantian, each carrying a distinct elemental aura, and landed in the room, transforming into its own unique form.

"I mean it~"

Hua Gu was the first to run to Jiang Yi's side, bringing with her a refreshing mist.

After absorbing that drop of innate divine water, Hua Gu grew much larger after her transformation. With white hair and blue eyes, she looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, exuding a rich aura of water spirit, gentle and full of vitality.

Nourished by the innate divine water, Hua Gu's control over the power of water reached a near-primordial level, her demonic aptitude reached the Earth level, her cultivation stabilized at the mid-Golden Core stage, and all her water-attribute spells were enhanced.

"Humph!"

Jiang Yi smiled and looked at Hua Gu, while Hong Li snorted coldly from the side.

At this time, she looked to be about the same age as Hua Gu, and after her aptitude improved, she was able to fully transform into a human, no longer having fox ears and a tail. She had red hair and green eyes, and her aura was both violent and restrained. She was also in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Hongli, how many tails do you have now?"

Jiang Yi asked softly, and Hong Li proudly raised her head. With a thought, six tails formed by flames flashed by, exuding a trace of the domineering and sacred aura belonging to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

"Six-tailed fox, amazing, amazing, truly amazing!"

Jiang Yi offered perfunctory praise, then looked at Zhenshan and Duanjin; both were at the Earth level, mid-stage Golden Core cultivation. Zhenshan's body was even more robust and imposing, while Duanjin's physique hadn't changed much but exuded even more power. The power of the Kunjin Yansui had completely merged into their blood and marrow, significantly enhancing their strength and defense.

The two exuded an aura as solid as mountains, standing there like two silent, ancient mountain incarnations, their control over earth elemental power reaching a state of perfection.

Jiang Yi focused his mind and sensed, “That’s right, the ability to reverse gravity in the Kunjin Flame Marrow has been refined into your bodies. As a result, most magical treasures or cultivators who get close to you will be pressed to the ground and unable to get up. I can also use this ability at will.”

The Heart-Piercing Mirror hovered in mid-air, not transforming into the shape of a young boy. Apart from the mirror looking slightly newer than before, Jiang Yi couldn't see anything unusual about it for the time being.

Jiang Yi waved her hand, turning the Heart-Piercing Mirror into a small mirror, which she hung on her belt. During her travels, she could use the Heart-Piercing Mirror to record the local customs and culture of various places in the Eastern Continent.

Moreover, Zhu Xin's eyes are sharper than hers; no disguise can hide from Zhu Xin, and he can discover hidden treasures around him even faster.

Finally, there was the little fairy vine, its emerald green shoots twining around Jiang Yi's wrist. Compared to the previous ones, it exuded a vibrant vitality and an indescribable ancient spirituality.

Previously, it was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. After becoming the living array eye, due to the balance of the Five Elements Array and its own special characteristics, its cultivation level was forcibly pulled to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Yi looked at the five companions beside him, whose auras were different yet harmonious and unified, their five elements rotating endlessly, and felt the powerful spiritual energy feedback from the sword-nurturing gourd in his dantian, as well as the close connection of their blood ties. A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Now, Hua Gu is practicing the very long-named cultivation technique given to her by Zhu Xin, while Hong Li has switched to practicing "Nine Revolutions of Burning Heaven".

The Nine Peaks Mountain-Crushing Fist and the Mysterious Yellow Scripture, passed down by the Zhenshan Duanjin Xiukun Emperor, are things she can just focus on cursing and swearing at; she doesn't need to worry about them.

At this moment, a heart-piercing voice came from Jiang Yi's waist, "After everyone becomes a living array eye, from now on, whether it is aptitude or cultivation, we will advance or retreat together. Now, only this little immortal vine is dragging us down. It is only thanks to your own cultivation of the 'Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture' that you have barely achieved the balance of the five elements."

"So next, you need to teach the Immortal Vine how to cultivate the 'Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture' properly, and help it form its core as soon as possible. Only when its cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm can we continue to improve. The Immortal Vine has great potential. Let it cultivate with Flower Maiden. Water can nourish wood, so find more wood-spirit items for it to absorb, and it will be able to form its core in no time."

Jiang Yi nodded, clapped her hands at everyone, and acted as if she were holding a major meeting.

"You all share the same thoughts as me, so I won't say more. Hongli, the family's income and expenses still depend on you. From now on, you should work hard to refine pills and weapons to earn spirit stones. As for the magic weapons and equipment that need to be upgraded, you can replace them as needed."

"You still owe me a lot of spirit stones~" Hong Li pouted, looking smug.

Jiang Yi laughed and said, "Just consider it an advance payment to me, and I'll help you find a different kind of fire!"

Mentioning the strange fire, Hong Li's eyes lit up. The cultivation technique she was practicing required nine kinds of strange fire. At most, she only had three kinds: Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, Candle Moth Purifying Fire, and Yin Erosion Moth Fire. She was still far from enough.

"By the way, Hongli, you should transplant those ancient spiritual plants in the Youxian Ferry spiritual fields to the spiritual medicine space of the Azure Wood Cauldron. I will also help you transfer the Breath Soil there. It should be able to improve the Azure Wood Cauldron a bit more. I can only perfectly control the Breath Soil when I reach the Nascent Soul stage, so it's just sitting there anyway."

The Green Wood Cauldron is specifically for growing medicinal herbs and refining elixirs; the quality of its spiritual fields is far superior to that of the Immortal Crossing.

“Zhenshan Duanjin, next you all help Hongli move the guardian stone puppets, blood ginseng dolls and leaf-eared rabbits in Youxian Ferry to the spirit medicine space of the Green Wood Cauldron. See if Hongli needs help taking care of the puppets in the spirit field, and make some for her as well.”

Zhenshan Duanjin clasped his hands in agreement. Both of them were quiet and pragmatic, always keeping to themselves.

Jiang Yi added, "Leave a few Leaf-eared Rabbits and Green-tailed Bees in Youxian Ferry. The spirit fields in Youxian Ferry will be used to grow various spirit fruits for Hua Gu to make wine, and you can also grow some spirit tea. If you need anything, just ask Hong Li for spirit stones to buy it, and put the bill in my name."

Zhenshan nodded sheepishly, Duanjin chuckled to himself, and Hongli was still counting on her fingers whether she would lose out.

However, the strange fire is priceless and can only be obtained by chance. Hong Li could only assume that she was working to save spirit stones for the strange fire, and that she was not being swindled by Jiang Yi. Thinking this way, she felt a little better.

Jiang Yi looked at Hua Gu one last time, took the little fairy vine off her wrist and placed it on Hua Gu's head. The little fairy vine was nourished by the water spirit on Hua Gu's body, and stretched out on its own, weaving together with Hua Gu's white hair, making Hua Gu even more beautiful and delicate, like a little fairy in the forest.

“From now on, Hua Gu and Xiao Xian Teng will stay by my side. I will guide Xiao Xian Teng’s cultivation. Zhenzhou has abundant thunder spiritual energy, which will also benefit Hua Gu’s cultivation.”

"Great!"

Hua Gu nodded happily and hugged Jiang Yi's arm.

"Alright, the task assignment is complete. You are free to do as you please. The Sword-Nourishing Gourd is with me. I can forcibly take you back at any time within a hundred miles."
