I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 515 Shattering the Lazy Root (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Back at the summit of Yunmiao Peak, her little wooden hut was almost buried in weeds. Across a lake was her master Jiang Yunye's house. All these years, he really hadn't bothered to clear the weeds for her.

"Come out, everyone!"

Jiang Yi released all the demons again. When Hua Gu saw her house buried in grass, her face immediately turned serious, and she puffed out her cheeks as she began to think about where to start cleaning.

Duan Jin pulled out the puppet spider that was working, and Zhen Shan scanned the surroundings for wood to repair the roof.

The Azure Sky burrows underground, selectively absorbing the life force of the plants in the area with its vines and roots. The tangled vines and weeds immediately turn yellow and wither, scattering in the wind.

Zhaoming stood expressionless to the side, unsure of what to do, the Yaoling Sword in his hand forcefully pulling him toward the Guiyi Sword Pavilion.

Hong Li put her hands on her hips and looked around. It wasn't her turn to help, so she carried her Green Wood Cauldron to the lakeside under a tree, created an identical clone, jumped into the Green Wood Cauldron to collect mature spiritual herbs, and prepared to refine pills.

Jiang Yi waved to Zhao Ming and said, "If you want to find someone to spar with, go ahead. Everyone in the Lingxu Sword Sect knows you, so don't worry."

A look of joy appeared clearly in Zhaoming's eyes. He bowed to Jiang Yi and left. The small mirror on Hua Gu's waist flew up on its own, turned into a golden light, caught up with Zhaoming, and hung on his waist.

Jiang Yi chuckled. This Zhu Xin was going to bully those simple-minded sword cultivators again.

Jiang Yi turned to look at Hong Li, "Hong Li, it's time to upgrade everyone's magic weapons. There are still so many materials for refining weapons in the warehouse. Why don't you design two top-tier magic weapons for everyone, one for offense and one for defense? Go out and buy whatever you need, and put it on my tab."

Hongli: …………

"Oh, right, although I have the remaining luck of Kunlun protecting me, the tribulation lightning during the Nascent Soul stage will be relatively weaker. But based on the situation when I formed my Golden Core, could you refine some more magic treasures to resist the tribulation lightning? I'll have Zhu Xin lend you the Lightning-Attracting Tower to study later."

"And the Green Wood Cauldron. It helped me block the Heavenly Punishment Lightning last time, and we might need it this time too. See if the Green Wood Cauldron can be strengthened, so it doesn't get damaged. This is for you too; it should be fused with the Green Wood Cauldron."

Jiang Yi took out the small timekeeping instrument that she hadn't used for a long time. It could regulate the time in the alchemy space inside the Green Wood Cauldron. She hadn't used it much in recent years and had kept it on Sword Tomb Mountain to absorb the power of the celestial stars.

The ring-shaped astronomical instrument now displays a restrained, dazzling starlight, indicating that it has reached a critical point.

Hongli caught the celestial time instrument that Jiang Yi threw to her, and her mood improved a bit.

The Green Wood Cauldron wasn't hers, nor was the Celestial Time Instrument; she was just a tenant farmer!
Although Jiang Yi doesn't use the Heavenly Timing Instrument often, it can manipulate the time laws of a region, making it an absolute trump card for survival. When Jiang Yi was initially weak, he relied on the Heavenly Timing Instrument to turn the tide of battle several times.

Hong Li was quite touched that she had so decisively taken out the Heavenly Timber Instrument to upgrade the Green Wood Cauldron.

If the Green Wood Cauldron can be successfully integrated with the Celestial Timber Instrument, it will accelerate the maturation of the spiritual herbs inside, allowing for the refinement of even better pills.

Over the years, she has obtained many elixirs and formulas in the Kunlun Secret Realm that can help improve her cultivation. All the spiritual herbs she needs are seeds obtained from the Kunlun Dao Stele Secret Realm.

Cultivation is inherently difficult for the demon race. If it weren't for the 'Five Elements Spirit Nourishing Pill' during their seclusion, they wouldn't have all reached the late Golden Core stage so quickly.

However, compared to Jiang Yi, they are still a bit slower. As long as Jiang Yi can perfectly fuse his divine soul and golden core, he can step into the peak of the golden core and prepare to form his nascent soul.

They, however, are still lacking in accumulation. This time, Jiang Yi is destined to form his Nascent Soul first, and they will form theirs later.

This is also the difference between humans and demons. Humans are naturally gifted in cultivation and comprehending the Great Dao, while demons only have advantages in physical strength and lifespan.

In fact, Hong Li is now extremely grateful that she chose to follow Jiang Yi. Otherwise, she would not only be unable to escape the calamity of the destruction of Bei Xuan, but even if Bei Xuan had not been destroyed, she would have no resources, no cultivation techniques, and no ability to improve her demon seed aptitude. At most, she would only be at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Thinking about these things, Hong Li comforted herself and gave Jiang Yi a proud smile.

"Leave it to me, you can rest assured!"

Jiang Yi nodded, "Just don't let it cause you any trouble."

"Once you're done with your work, you're free to do as you please. I'm going to sit on the mountaintop for a while. If anyone looks for me, just tell them I'm still in seclusion."

"I know~"

Jiang Yi came alone to the highest point of Yunmiao Peak. There was a big tree there, and under the tree was an old futon, which was where Jiang Yunye often meditated.

The wind was fierce on the mountaintop, blowing Jiang Yi's robes. She sat cross-legged on an old futon, and as far as the eye could see, the sea of ​​clouds surged and rolled between the continuous mountain peaks.

She calmed herself down and began to recall the many scenes that had unfolded along the way.

Outside Xichuan City, bamboo branches swept across, shaking down a shower of emerald rain.

After searching the entire demon market of Golden Chestnut City to no avail, they finally encountered a dying cloud.

The Ascension Ceremony tests one's spiritual roots, and Chishongzi says her roots are "six and a half." Later, she meets Pu Ning and Wushuang, forms a contract with Hong Li at Iron Back Mountain, and so on...

So many things, still vivid in my mind.

For her, Lazy Root was a lifeline in her desperate situation.

It repaired the shattered spiritual root dantian, giving Hua Gu a new life, transforming her from a sword cultivator who dared not take a breath into a lazy person who could calmly lean back and gaze at the stars.

This cultivation method, which allowed her to 'sleep her way to immortality,' helped her accumulate laziness, strengthen her foundation, and form a Heavenly-grade Golden Core. Even though she was so lazy, her cultivation never lagged behind others, and she always made further progress.

Yun Tao suddenly unfolded like a scroll painting, and everything from the past left a deep impression on her. But the most important thing this so-called lazy path brought her was her current state of mind.

This physical freedom and mental ease—this is the true essence of her current cultivation.

"No matter how good the Lazy Immortal's path is..." Jiang Yi murmured, the words drifting into the clouds with the wind, "it is ultimately a bridge."

A bridge can cross a river, but it cannot become a person's backbone.

Lazy roots laid an incredibly deep foundation for her, but things always turn around when they reach their extreme, and now everything has reached a critical point of reversal.

If she doesn't give up Lazy Root, she can still form a Nascent Soul. However, since part of her soul is occupied by Lazy Root, her future nascent soul will be incomplete, and this incompleteness will be amplified as her cultivation level continues to rise.

Even if the combination of the Sleeping Immortal Technique and Lazy Root is so powerful that it defies the heavens and allows her to ascend to immortality, she would still only become the second Lazy Immortal.

Why doesn't she become her unique self?

Even if the road ahead is rugged, flawed, or even leads to a return to ordinariness... it is still a thorny path she carved out herself.

Irreplaceable, it belongs only to Jiang Yi's 'Dao'!
Breaking the root of laziness is not about abandoning the fundamental nature, but rather about severing the shackles on the soul, allowing her to attain true freedom and a carefree existence filled with unknown joys.

Besides, how could she be ordinary?

With such strong confidence and a sense of relaxation, Jiang Yi placed her hands on her dantian, closed her eyes, and let her consciousness sink into Lazy Root, arriving at the Lazy Immortal Shrine that guarded her soul.

The once dilapidated Lazy Immortal Temple has become clean and tidy after so many years of her cultivation, like a well-maintained temple with thriving incense offerings.

On the bookshelves on the side and back of the Lazy Immortal Shrine are the books she has read and the jade slips she has studied over the years. These are all knowledge stored in her sea of ​​consciousness, preserved here in a concrete form.

Just like when Jiang Yi was ten years old and got lost in the mountains, and first encountered the Lazy Immortal Temple, she cleaned the incense table, tidied the statue, and finally lit three sticks of incense that she had transformed with her mind. She then knelt respectfully in front of the Lazy Immortal statue.

The hand holding the incense sticks is raised high in front of the forehead, and the three sticks of incense burn spontaneously without fire, with the blue smoke rising straight up.

"My first bow is to thank you, senior, for giving me a new life."

She bowed respectfully, her forehead touching the cold stone platform, and the starting point for survival in dire straits surfaced deep within her consciousness.

"The second bow is to thank the senior for giving me the foundation for a carefree life."

When he bowed again, the Heavenly Golden Elixir hummed in his dantian, and the Five Elements Origin of the Sword Nourishing Gourd rose and fell around him, all because of Lazy Dao's creation.

"The third bow, to thank you, senior, for allowing me... to sever the karmic ties!"

As the final bow was performed, incense ash fell in a flurry, like broken beads from a snapped string.

Jiang Yi stood up nimbly, inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner, and looked up directly at the lazy immortal statue's languid features beneath its loose robes.

"From now on, I will only seek the Great Way within myself, and without the root of laziness, I will be carefree!"

The moment Jiang Yi turned and stepped out of the Lazy Immortal Temple, the corner of the stone statue's lips suddenly turned up in a smile, seemingly both real and unreal.

Click!

The sound of shattering glass exploded from behind, and the entire Lazy Immortal Temple collapsed with a roar, transforming into thousands of flowing white light, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, surging towards Jiang Yi's dantian.

Deep within the dantian and dantian, the Heavenly Grade Golden Elixir shone brightly, its clear radiance sweeping across the land.
