I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 472 Acquiring Thunder Vine (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The burly man with the bushy beard was dead. Jiang Yi took his storage belt and burned the body.

The Thunder Vine broke in two. Jiang Yi tried to use the Demon Spirit Mirror to examine it, but couldn't find any information. It wasn't a Northern Profound Demon Spirit, but a Golden Core stage vine demon that had gained intelligence and couldn't even take human form.

Ignoring the semi-conscious Yu Zhenren beside her, Jiang Yi squatted down next to the Thunder Vine and used a small-scale Spring Rain technique to treat him.

The little fairy vine, Qingxiao, emerged from the ground at Jiang Yi's feet, raising its upper body like a small snake. Together with Jiang Yi, they watched as the two sections of the thunder vine, resembling lightning, gradually merged together like earthworms.

After recovering slightly, the Thunder Vine immediately tried to burrow into the ground to escape, but Jiang Yi had set up a great formation that sealed the place off completely. Whenever the tip of the Thunder Vine tried to burrow into the ground, it would be blocked by the formation's barrier.

"Don't bother," Jiang Yi said lazily. "Judging from your appearance, you were left behind by your predecessors to guard the lightning tower and watch over the blood corpse, right? Now that the blood corpse has run away, you've lost your job."

The thunder vine understood, and cautiously shrank back, its vine tips pointing upwards, sparks flying as it aimed at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi gestured for Lei Gong Teng to look over at Hua Gu's side. She split into two little girls and was dragging the fallen fruit tree out of the blood pool, using the Sweet Rain spell to water the fruit tree in an attempt to save it.

Jiang Yi then looked up at the top of the tomb chamber, where a young boy in golden robes stood suspended in mid-air, examining the array patterns on the top and around the tomb chamber.

"See them? She's a Lan Yao, and he's a Jing Yao. They're both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and can perfectly transform into human form. They also conceal their demonic aura very well. Do you want to be like them?"

Before the Thunder Vine could react, Qingxiao first tapped the tip of the vine forcefully next to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi chuckled and pulled Qingxiao from the ground, wrapping her wrist around it.

Lei Gong Teng noticed that Qing Xiao could understand Jiang Yi's words and even respond, which meant that Qing Xiao, a little vine demon in the late Foundation Establishment stage, already had intelligence, which was an incredible thing for the demon race in the Eastern Continent.

Unlike humans, demons are not naturally gifted and can attain enlightenment and achieve success in cultivation within a few decades or centuries.

Although demons have long lifespans, it is difficult for them to improve their cultivation. It has cultivated here for thousands of years to reach its current state.

Jiang Yi continued, "Since you've lost your job anyway, why don't you come with me? I'll find you a good place where you can live a life of comfort and ease, where you can focus on your cultivation. There will also be someone to take care of you and help you transform into human form. What do you say?"

The thunder vine shrank back warily, tempted, but it didn't believe it!
Jiang Yi was too lazy to waste words, and her smile suddenly turned sly as she quickly threw a transparent bead the size of a pigeon egg at the Thunder Vine.

The bead shone brightly, instantly engulfing the entire Thunder God Vine, transforming it into a vine-like lightning bolt at the center of the transparent bead.

The Thunder Vine struggled fiercely inside, but golden runes quickly lit up on the bead, forming chains that crisscrossed and sealed the Thunder Vine firmly within.

Jiang Yi yawned, "Don't struggle anymore. This is the latest 'Demon-Capturing Pearl' developed by my ancestor Su Hua over the years. It combines the functions of the Demon-Controlling Ring and the Demon Spirit Bag, and has been enhanced in all aspects. Just stay inside and recover. What I said before was true, I wasn't lying to you."

Now that the Demon-Capturing Pearl is in Jiang Yi's hands, if there are any living creatures inside, it cannot be put into a storage bag or storage magic item.

Jiang Yi put it in a black cloth bag that could block detection and threw it directly into the warehouse of Youxian Ferry. He would hand it over when he returned to Cangling Sect.

The Thunder Vine wasn't captured by me, so I can't let it know about the existence of the Immortal Crossing.

Jiang Yi suddenly turned to look at Master Yu lying next to her and laughed, "If you're awake, stop pretending. Do you expect me to help you up myself?"

Master Yu trembled almost imperceptibly, and after a moment he looked as if he had just woken up, struggling to sit up from the ground.

His dantian was severely injured by the blood corpse, his golden core cracked, and bloodthirsty death energy invaded, rendering him completely powerless. He was lucky to have survived.

"This humble Taoist, Yu Kun, thanks... Fellow Taoist Jiang for saving my life!"

While observing Jiang Yi, Yu Kun took out healing pills. Seeing that Jiang Yi did not object, he quickly swallowed a handful of various types of pills.

He knew in his heart that he was merely clinging to life, and even with this last breath, there was no hope for the future; he was not far from death. "Yi, the tree can still be saved!"

Jiang Yi heard Hua Gu's voice behind her, and the two Hua Gu dragged the tree, which had slightly recovered its vitality, over together.

Upon seeing this, Yu Kun's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily leaned forward.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi waved her hand, and the tree disappeared, its whereabouts unknown.

The greedy and eager light in Yu Kun's eyes was almost impossible to suppress, but now he was a cripple, and the other party was Jiang Heying, who was famous throughout Dongzhou. Even if he had eight hundred times the courage, he would not dare to act recklessly in front of her.

"Tell me, what's going on here?"

Jiang Yi ruffled Hua Gu's hair, not even glancing at Yu Kun.

Now, Yu Kun can only gamble that Jiang Heying is a disciple of a reputable sect and won't kill indiscriminately. However, he is unsure when Jiang Heying came down and how much of what he said during his confrontation with the other two has been heard.

After a moment's thought, Yu Kun decided to avoid the main issue and focus on the less important one.

"Actually, I only discovered this tomb chamber under the lightning tower seven years ago. After much investigation, I learned that this place was originally the territory of the Corpse Yin Sect in ancient times. This sect mainly focused on refining corpses and practicing evil techniques. They committed too many atrocities and were destroyed by the righteous sects."

"As for this lightning-attracting tower, I guess it was left behind by the righteous cultivators of that time to attract heavenly lightning and slowly eliminate the blood-fiend death aura and the immortal blood corpses here. Otherwise, it was left behind by the righteous cultivators of that time to plant the Tribulation-Crossing Thunder Sound Tree, after all, that tree is special and needs such a place."

"Something must have happened later. The ancient righteous cultivator who planted the spirit tree met with an accident, and this place gradually fell into silence. Many things are too far removed from the present to be verified. I am only guessing."

Jiang Yi asked in confusion, "This place has existed for thousands of years, and many people have come here to explore and search for treasures. Why was it you who discovered the underground tomb?"

Yu Kun's heart trembled violently. He had been chased here that day and, severely injured, hid near the lightning tower when he suddenly heard the blood corpse's voice transmission.

The existence of the underground tomb and the Thunder Tree of Calamity, as well as the method of entering, were all told to him by the Blood Corpse.

He knew that the Blood Corpse wanted him to lead the cultivators to the tomb for a sacrifice, but his lifespan was coming to an end, and his low-grade Golden Core meant that he had no hope of forming a Nascent Soul in this lifetime. The Tribulation Fruit was his only chance.

He tried sacrificing himself once, and apart from the fruit growing larger, nothing else happened, which made his wishful thinking grow stronger...

Judging from his expression, Jiang Yi roughly guessed what was going on, and then asked, "What is the origin of that blood corpse?"

Yu Kun honestly replied, "I don't know the specifics, but this place was originally a place of blood and evil spirits. No matter who the blood corpse was in life, after soaking in the blood pool here for thousands of years, it has become an immortal being. Once it is born, I'm afraid it will stir up a bloody storm."

As he spoke, Yu Kun suddenly pushed himself up and knelt directly in front of Jiang Yi.

"I know that releasing the Blood Corpse has been a grave mistake. I beg Fellow Daoist Jiang to destroy this Blood Corpse and rid the cultivation world of this scourge. I am willing to offer all my possessions as a token of my gratitude. When I return, I will certainly tell the world about this righteous act and make Fellow Daoist Jiang famous!"

Jiang Yi suddenly smiled, and a golden needle silently pierced Yu Kun's brow and went straight into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Caught off guard, Yu Kun opened his eyes in horror to find his soul pierced by the golden needles, his body and spirit annihilated.

"I can take your things myself."

Yu Kun's body crashed to the ground, and Hua Gu, who had been standing next to Jiang Yi, immediately ran out.

"Hua Gu will help you carry it!"

Hua Gu was quick and efficient. She soon found the icy bead that Yu Kun often used, an ancient seal, and a storage pendant that he had hidden in his clothes.
