I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 517 Sect Rewards (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi composed sword music on Yunmiao Peak for two days and received a reply from Lingxu Sword Sect, inviting her to the main peak to see the sect leader.

The sect leader of Lingxu Sword Sect is very low-key and not well-known within the sect. Jiang Yi thought about it carefully and realized that she had never actually met the sect leader since she joined the sect.

Jiang Yi returned to the tidy-up little house and asked Hua Gu to help her tidy up her appearance. All the clothes and jewelry that her master Danxi had given her back then were with Hua Gu.

But Hua Gu was not satisfied with any of them and muttered, "Yi, you should buy new clothes. Most of these robes and jewelry are too bright and not suitable for you now. Moreover, they are all of too low grade. You won't be able to wear these after you reach Nascent Soul stage."

Hua Gu was even more particular than Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi didn't care about any of that.

The rock-patterned silk armor her master gave her was no longer enough, yet she still wore it underneath. She wore whatever clothes she had, and didn't wear jewelry, except for a hairpin or a hairband to tie her hair up at most.

The crane feather silver hairpin that Xiao Wujiu gave her, she later had Hongli add some materials to prevent it from turning black and deforming, and she is still using it now.

However, Jiang Yi did not refute Hua Gu. She casually picked up a set of white wooden-attribute magic robes with blue patterns and put them on, along with a blue hairband.

"Alright, after I meet with the sect leader, I'll take you all shopping and buy you all new clothes."

After Hua Gu and the other demon spirits transformed into human form, they could use their demonic power to combine with their own belongings to create clothes. All demons have a love for beauty, and Hong Li even used her fox fur to change into different styles of clothes.

Although making robes also falls under the category of weapon crafting, the techniques required are different from those forging weapons and armor, and require some weaving skills.

To make the robes look good, they need to be embroidered with some patterns, which is an extremely delicate task, and Hongli is unwilling to do it.

Hua Gu does have a talent in this area and can provide assistance, especially since Zhu Xin has been teaching Hua Gu talisman techniques over the years. The combination of the two is perfect.

"I'll go see the sect leader first. You go find everyone and wait for me at the mountain gate."

The main peak of Lingxu Sword Sect.

Jiang Yi walked into the extremely simple main hall and saw a female cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm standing in the center of the hall with her back to the main entrance, her hands behind her back, looking up at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

Her Taoist name was Mingzhu. She wore an elegant white robe adorned with silver star patterns, and her long hair was loosely tied up with a white jade hairpin.

He exuded no sharp sword aura, but rather a gentle, scholarly air.

"Disciple Jiang Yi greets Sect Master."

Jiang Yi called out from behind. Mingzhu Sword Lord suddenly swayed, but did not turn around immediately. Instead, he straightened his appearance, cleared his throat, and then turned around.

Seeing her tired look, Jiang Yi wondered if she had been sleeping standing up.
Mingzhu's eyes and brows were calm and deep, and his demeanor was composed and unhurried, revealing little about his true nature.

Her eyes were intelligent and insightful. She looked Jiang Yi up and down, and nodded with a smile. "Not bad, not bad. You are indeed at the peak of the Golden Core stage, with the Golden Core being perfected and possessing the primordial spirit. The main reason I called you here today is to talk to you about the Nascent Soul stage."

Mingzhu gestured for Jiang Yi to sit down, and she herself took the seat of honor.

"When cultivators in the sect reach the Nascent Soul stage, they always go to a place at sea. True disciples are all protected by Nascent Soul cultivators. Before Dao Yuan Star Lord went into seclusion again, he personally instructed that you should not be treated lightly. Therefore, the sect will have a Deity Transformation cultivator protect you, but..."

Mingzhu paused, and Jiang Yi listened patiently. "Firstly, it's the opening of the Kunlun Secret Realm, and secondly, the Sea-Stabilizing Array on the Boundless Sea is at a critical moment. Not only the Lingxu Sword Sect, but also the other two sects have had a lot of manpower drawn away to clear out the high-level demonic beasts in the sea. In addition, there are some problems with the nodes of the Nine Cauldrons World-Stabilizing Array. There are only a few Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation cultivators left in the sect."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "No rush, I can wait for Sword Master Yunye to come out of the Kunlun Secret Realm before he protects me. May I ask what's wrong with the Nine Cauldrons World-Stabilizing Array?"

Jiang Yi activated the main array of the Nine Cauldrons Boundary-Stabilizing Array, so Mingzhu had nothing to hide.

"Besides the main array eye in the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Nine Cauldrons Boundary-Stabilizing Array has eight other nodes distributed throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm. The one in Beixuan is caught in the demonic tide, but the three Refining Void Star Lords will find a way to deal with it. There is no need to worry about the nodes in Dongzhou, Xiling, and several sea areas."

"Right now, it's the Southern Wilderness and the Floating Light Sea. There are two nodes in the Southern Wilderness that require the blood essence of the current Barbarian King to open, but the current Barbarian King of the Southern Wilderness has tried several times and failed to open them all. As for the Floating Light Sea, it's because there are many independent cultivator forces that are difficult to command and each has their own territory, making it hard to advance this matter. So, the location of that node has not been found yet."

At this point, Mingzhu's eyes deepened, and his brow furrowed.

"The demonic tide is invading faster than we imagined. According to our investigation, it would take at least a hundred years to reach the Eastern Continent. Now, it has already crossed the midline between the Northern Xuan and the Eastern Continent in less than fifty years. If the Sea-Stabilizing Formation can withstand it, it can buy the Eastern Continent another hundred years. If not, it will take about thirty years."

Jiang Yi couldn't help but frown, not expecting it to happen so quickly.

If the demonic tide comes, the Eastern Continent and the Western Spirit Continent will definitely be the first to come into contact, while the Southern Wilderness and the Floating Light Sea are still in the rear. No wonder they are not panicked.

The failure to activate the node in the Southern Wilderness reminded Jiang Yi of Shen Puning. Her family had fled from the Southern Wilderness to the Northern Xuan. Shen Puning was born with a barbarian bone; could she be a true descendant of the Southern Wilderness? Is there such a saying in the Southern Wilderness?
Jiang Yi didn't bring up the matter with Mingzhu right away. She would ask Shen Puning later, since it concerned their family's secrets.

The situation on the other side of Floating Light Sea is complicated and indeed difficult to handle. It has been many years since True Lord Longri went to Floating Light Sea, and I don't know if she has found her master yet.

Jiang Yi suddenly wanted to go to the Floating Light Sea in person. She would go after she had formed her Nascent Soul, and she would still be able to protect herself.

Mingzhu took a breath, her brows relaxing. "Let's not talk about that now. Your most important task is to form your Nascent Soul. We can discuss other things after that."

Mingzhu took out a storage bag from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Yi.

“Our Lingxu Sword Sect is relatively poor, and we have a lot of mineral materials in our warehouse. Sword cultivators have never needed pills to help them reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, I know that your cultivation method is very special, and you may still need pills to help you. Here are 300,000 spirit stones, which are a reward from the sect for you. You can buy whatever you need.”

Jiang Yi accepted the gift with both hands, stood up, and bowed in gratitude.

A top-tier magic weapon costs around 100,000 spirit stones. For a sect that doesn't even have the money to repair its internal affairs hall and main hall, giving her 300,000 spirit stones at once shows that it values ​​her.

Moreover, since she left her name on the Dao Stele, the Lingxu Sword Sect's library no longer restricts her access; she can come and go freely and browse various sword manuals at will.

The best sword manual of the Lingxu Sword Sect is the "Lingxu Sword Manual". She made a copy for Zhaoming and continued to cultivate the "Tiangang Subduing Demon Sword Manual".

Her token was also with Zhaoming, making it convenient for Zhaoming to study other sword manuals that interested him.

Jiang Yi felt that Zhao Ming was the real disciple of Lingxu Sword Sect, and she was at most just a parent accompanying him.

Mingzhu personally escorted Jiang Yi to the entrance of the main hall. Watching her fly away, Mingzhu hissed and pressed his hand to his heart, feeling unbearable heartache at the thought of those 300,000 spirit stones.

"No, we have to get the Internal Affairs Department to increase the fines on those brats! Make all those idle, high-energy brats go mining!!"
