I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 479 Infiltrating (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the year of Yi Si.

A new "North-South General Store" has opened on Fenglong Street in Zhencheng. On the opening day, everything is 10% off. No matter what you buy, as long as it exceeds fifty spirit stones, you will receive a bottle of Bigu Pills as a gift.

The shop sells common spiritual herbs, pills, spirit wines, talismans, magical artifacts, and materials. What's unusual is the bottle of fasting pills they give away.

That was the taste of roasted meat that the cultivators of Zhenzhou had never tasted before. One bite and their understanding of Bigu pills was refreshed. Even if they actually ate roasted demon beast meat, they had never tasted such an incredibly delicious flavor.

Many people wanted to buy fasting pills individually, but the seller only gave them away.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the entire city of Zhencheng. Suddenly, many people flocked to the newly opened general store to buy things.

There were only two people in the shop, one of whom was quite good-looking but knew nothing about anything except how to work.

There was also an accountant who only buried himself in accounting and had no expression on his face; both of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, everyone heard that there was a red-haired female cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm in the backyard of this shop. She was the real owner behind the shop, a master of both alchemy and weapon crafting. Not long ago, she had passed the examinations of the Zhencheng Alchemist and Weapon Crafting Guilds and joined the two guilds.

That's why she was able to open a shop in Zhencheng.

That day, Jiang Yi gave Hong Li a serious talk in the backyard, telling her not to bully Wu Shuang and Shang Shixu, before leaving with Shen Puning and Zhao Cangyun.

Shen Puning left a lot of low-level talismans in the shop, as well as her own recipe for roasting meat, to make Bigu pills, enough for them to sell for a while.

It took Jiang Yi two months to open the shop. Hong Li had already signed contracts with the alchemist and weapon refiner guilds, agreeing to pay various fees on time for the next three years to help the two guilds refine certain pills and magic weapons.

When the three-year term is up, each of the two guilds can give one spot to enter the Thunder Pool Secret Realm to Hong Li's two apprentices, namely Xin Wushuang and Shang Shixu.

Shang Shixu would secretly plant a non-life-threatening Gu in the disciples of various sects and families to facilitate intelligence gathering.

This is where Shang Shixu excels, and he's happy to do it.

After leaving the North-South General Store, Jiang Yi first went to the Nine Heavens Cloud Pavilion in Zhencheng to deliver a message to his grandmaster and great-grandmaster, explaining the situation of the Northern Xuan Demon Clan and their next plan.

Afterwards, they escorted Shen Puning to the city gate.

Shen Puning planned to infiltrate the Lei family. She had grown up in a cultivation family since childhood and was good at socializing, so joining a family would not be difficult for her.

Moreover, the information Liu Xueren gave them said that most of those demon species were sold into Tongbao Tower through the Lei family, so the Lei family had to place someone there.

The reason for not letting Zhao Cangyun and Yu Hui go was to prevent them from making things worse in their impulsiveness.

After seeing Shen Puning off, Jiang Yi personally escorted Zhao Cangyun to Yulei Valley.

The two sat together on the back of the white crane that the Flower Maiden had transformed into, using a leaf to conceal their presence.

Jiang Yi carefully examined Zhao Cangyun's arm. "Your demon core and arm have fully recovered and are even stronger than before. You'd better be careful now. Your Qilin bloodline gives you a natural advantage when facing other demon beasts, so it would be better for you to infiltrate the Thunder Control Valley."

Zhao Cangyun nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely become a core disciple of Thunder Control Valley within three years and obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm."

They were taken to the vicinity of Yulei Valley, where the two landed in the woods.

Jiang Yi handed the "One Leaf Obscuring the Eyes" and the "Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl" to Zhao Cangyun. "Take these two items. The 'One Leaf Obscuring the Eyes' has a slight flaw in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so be careful. Activate the 'Earthly Fiend Yellow Spring Pearl' with all your might; it can reach 70% of the escape speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If there are any problems, don't take risks; escaping is the most important thing."

Zhao Cangyun did not refuse and turned to leave.

Thunder Valley has its own market. The sect is located deep in the mountains and forests. Every time a secret realm opens, it provides Thunderclap Sect with a large number of demonic beasts to transport various storage bags containing materials that are inconvenient to collect. Therefore, Thunder Valley receives more secret realm slots each time than the other two sects and the three major families. Currently, Thunder Valley has no plans to recruit new disciples, so Zhao Cangyun needs to stay in the market for a while and look for opportunities on his own.

Finally, there was Lei Jizong, and Jiang Yi decided to infiltrate it himself.

"Hua Gu, Qing Xiao, you two will stay here with Zhao Ming Yao Ling and Zhen Shan Duan Jin and cultivate in You Xian Du for the time being."

Jiang Yi put Hua Gu and Qing Xiao back into Youxian Ferry. Zhu Xin had just obtained the Lightning-Attracting Tower, so he took Hua Gu with him to train her body with lightning and continue her cultivation.

Qingxiao needs spiritual wood for cultivation. He bought some in Zhencheng, but unfortunately, Zhencheng has a lot of lightning-struck wood, which Qingxiao doesn't like, so his cultivation progress has slowed down.

There's no rush. The environment here in Zhenzhou is like this, and it's not easy to find other types of spirit wood. Jiang Yi could only let Qingxiao look at the trees in the woods east of Youxian Ferry. It could gnaw on whichever tree it liked, as long as it didn't break the roots. It could make do with whatever it took for now.

Qingxiao's favorite thing is actually the Azure Jade Bamboo. When he returned to Youxian Ferry, he would wrap himself around the Broken Tribulation Sword and absorb its essence. Unfortunately, this thing cannot be planted, so Qingxiao can only look at it with envy for now.

After arranging everything for everyone and the demons, Jiang Yi used Hong Li's illusion technique to transform herself into an ordinary female rogue cultivator with wheat-colored skin, appearing to be in her early twenties. Her cultivation level was temporarily suppressed to the early Foundation Establishment stage using pills refined by Hong Li.

Alone, Jiang Yi arrived at Yonglei Beach.

A salty wind, carrying tiny sparks of electricity, rushed towards Jiang Yi as he walked to the small dock built of black reefs. Under his feet, eerie blue sparks occasionally flashed among the rough sand and gravel.

At the end of the dock stood a half-person-high black iron stele, its surface covered with lightning strike patterns. Two body cultivators and one magic cultivator were standing there watching, all in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Yi looked past the three people and towards the Xuan Tie Stele. The three large characters 'Lei Ji Zong' at the top shone with a dazzling purple light under the dark clouds.

The smaller text below is written in a flowing, elegant style.

Those who venture into the island through the formation may become outer disciples of our sect.

Physical cultivation rides the waves, Dharma cultivation crosses the thunder.

Regardless of life or death

People around Zhencheng all know that Leiji Sect recruits new disciples all year round, and those in the early stages of Foundation Establishment can participate in the trials they set up by Yonglei Sea.

Thirty feet ahead from here, the water surface is churning with strange purple waves, and seven water tornadoes connect the sky and the sea. Each tornado is flashing with different forms of lightning, making it a testing ground for magic cultivators.

On the far left, eighteen pieces of charred driftwood float on the water. The driftwood is crooked and twisted, obviously a 'wave-riding thunder stake' prepared for body cultivators. At this moment, a male body cultivator is on it.

Suddenly, a loud explosion erupted on the distant sea. The burly cultivator had just leaped onto the third piece of driftwood when he was struck by golden lightning, his body smoking as he fell into the sea, where he did not resurface for a long time.

A female mage emerged from the thunder tornadoes on the right. The lightning bursting from her fingertips collided with the lightning magma. At first, she was in control, but as the thunder tornadoes grew stronger, she was entangled by the sticky lightning and fell into the thunder vortex with a scream.

The three people standing in front of Jiang Yi who were watching were all still in shock when they saw this, and for a moment none of them dared to go up.

"If you're not going to go, why don't you step aside and let me try?"

The three turned around at the sound, saw the lazy Jiang Yi, looked her up and down, and quickly made way for her.

They initially thought Jiang Yi was a magic cultivator, since she didn't look strong at all. However, Jiang Yi looked around on the dock and then, with a leap, jumped onto the floating log used for body cultivator trials.

　see you tomorrow!
