I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 540 The Wicked Woman Seeks Immortality - Part 3 (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In Ji Ning's eyes, Jiang Yi, who taught her the Daoist arts, was an unfathomable and eccentric person.

After Jiang Yi took Ji Ning away from their hometown, they found a deserted island at sea, set up a large formation, released some puppet soldiers, and carved out caves and caves.

Ji Ning's talent was actually superior to that of her younger brother.

Although her younger brother has dual spiritual roots of water and wood, neither of them has more than five roots, while Ji Ning has three spiritual roots of fire, earth, and metal, with eight, seven, and seven roots.

Although cultivation takes longer than dual spiritual roots, diligence can make up for shortcomings. When Ji Ning fights with others in the future, the power of her spells will definitely far exceed those with lower spiritual roots than her.

Jiang Yi explained the various paths of cultivation to Ji Ning and asked Ji Ning which one he wanted to learn.

In reality, Ji Ning is skilled in making talismans.

Perhaps because Jiang Yi had been gentle and mild-mannered throughout the journey, Ji Ning mustered up her courage and said that she wanted to learn everything and anything that was good.

Jiang Yi did not scold her for her greed, but left behind many low-level cultivation techniques and martial arts skills suitable for Ji Ning to cultivate, including low-level magic tools needed for various martial arts cultivation, as well as everything needed for making talismans, engraving arrays, refining pills, and refining weapons.

Since Ji Ning was illiterate, Jiang Yi was too lazy to teach him slowly, so he directly enlightened Ji Ning by imparting various common knowledge about the cultivation world.

In this dream, Jiang Yi had plenty of time, so she let Ji Ning try. Even if Ji Ning suffered a qi deviation or went into a qi deviation, as long as she had a breath left, Jiang Yi could save her.

Moreover, during Ji Ning's attempts, she would provide guidance and instruction as much as possible, trying to lead Ji Ning to a cultivation path different from her own reality.

Ji Ning tried various paths for three years, but in the end she chose talismanic arts as her main focus for the rest of her life.

Jiang Yi was not surprised by this.

Just like Hong Li transforms into Hua Gu in her dream, her personality ultimately remains the same as Hong Li's. Ji Ning is the subject of this dream, and her subjective consciousness will influence her dream self.

Ji Ning's choice of talismanic arts shows that she genuinely likes this art and has talent in it.

Jiang Yi asked Zhu Xin to check Ji Ning's cultivation in reality again, and found that Ji Ning in reality did not cultivate any techniques that matched the talisman techniques.

Her main cultivation technique is a Xuan-grade fire-based technique, which cannot be changed. Talisman techniques are only a secondary cultivation. She makes talismans to earn money, and she even learned the evil cultivation method of refining talismans with her soul.

Since it's impossible to completely change a person's life trajectory in a dream, Jiang Yi decided to go with the flow.

When Duan Jin was at the Lei Ji Sect in Zhenzhou, he secretly took Zhu Xin to collect some martial arts techniques, including a "Listening to the Rain Brush Manual" which used a brush as a weapon and was a mid-level Xuan-grade technique.

During the Kunlun Trial of Talismans, Zhu Xin and Hua Gu obtained a talisman cultivation technique called "Xuanmo Jing". However, the technique was too obscure and not suitable for Hua Gu to learn, so Zhu Xin helped improve it.

Improvements cannot be made out of thin air, especially ancient techniques. They must be practiced and verified properly to identify any problems.

The long-named cultivation technique that Hua Gu is currently practicing is still being continuously improved by Zhu Xin based on the problems she encounters during her practice.

Jiang Yi first had Ji Ning practice the "Listening to Rain Manual" during the Qi Refining stage to learn basic talisman techniques.

Ji Ning worked very hard and diligently. Perhaps it was because in her dream, her will influenced this world, and everything was working to help her achieve her goal. Therefore, she successfully established her foundation in just ten years.

When she reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, she successfully drew a Foundation Establishment stage talisman, demonstrating her exceptional talent in talisman-making.

Afterwards, Jiang Yi also brought Zhu Xin into the dream. He originally wanted to bring Hua Gu along, but found that it wouldn't work. Ji Ning's soul was not strong enough and his consciousness was too weak. Bringing in Zhu Xin had already made Jiang Yi feel that the dream was showing signs of collapse.

Jiang Yi called Qingxiao to stay by her side, so that she could replenish Ji Ning's spiritual energy if it became too depleted.

In Ji Ning's dream, Jiang Yi had been away for several years and brought back an old man. Before they officially began learning, Jiang Yi called Ji Ning aside and gave him some special instructions.

"From now on, you will learn the art of talismans from this old gentleman. He has a bad temper, but he is a stubborn but kind-hearted person with extremely profound knowledge. You should try to coax him a bit."

After handing Ji Ning over to Zhu Xin for instruction and having Zhu Xin use Ji Ning to improve the "Mysterious Ink Scripture," Jiang Yi left the matter alone and paid a little attention to the outside world.

More than ten years passed in the dream, while only more than ten days passed outside. The merchant ship Jubaohang was still sailing at sea, two months away from Blackhorn Island.

Hongli diligently processed the refining materials in the cabin. She remained vigilant in the unfamiliar place. Even when Jiang Yi asked her to go out, she refused, which made her very easy to manage.

Jiang Yi returned to her dream, and when Zhu Xin had cursed Ji Ning to the point of wanting to commit suicide, she took Ji Ning out for a walk.

In her dream, this world was limited to the Floating Light Sea. Jiang Yi had tried to go to more distant places, but found that she could not leave this sea no matter what she did. Ji Ning was not surprised by this.

Ji Ning couldn't create places she hadn't been in her dreams, but in the Floating Light Sea, all the markets and forces, even if they differed from reality, were woven by Ji Ning's subconscious based on her real-world understanding.

Jiang Yi also tried to create a location and some characters in Ji Ning's memory in his dream using a method called "enlightenment," but the attempt failed!

The fact that Ji Ning could learn a cultivation technique she had never encountered before was based on her common knowledge of cultivation and her inner desire.

As for the places and characters that Jiang Yi fabricated, Ji Ning had no feelings for them, so they could not 'come to life'.

In her dream, life was unpredictable. Ji Ning was like a woman of destiny. Even without Jiang Yi's interference, she managed to have everything go her way, which was unbelievably smooth.

Ji Ning entered the Dao later than Jiang Yi, yet he formed a superior-grade golden core at the age of one hundred.

Even Zhu Xin sighed, no wonder the dream demon could immerse cultivators in a dream they didn't want to wake up. Compared to Ji Ning's experiences in reality, she got everything she wanted in her dream.

Even the revision of the "Xuanmo Jing" went very smoothly because of Ji Ning, and two versions were produced by Zhu Xin.

One was suitable for Hua Gu to supplement her studies, and the other incorporated the martial arts technique "Listening to the Rain Manual," becoming Ji Ning's unique technique.

After Ji Ning successfully formed her core, Jiang Yi gave her a writing brush as her natal magic weapon.

"Senior, why won't you accept Ji Ning as your disciple?"

Amidst the howling wind at sea, Ji Ning suddenly asked Jiang Yi: Over the years, Ji Ning had tried several times to offer tea and kowtow to formally become Jiang Yi's disciple, but Jiang Yi had refused each time, only allowing her to call her "senior" and not even giving Ji Ning a name.

Despite Zhu Xin's decades of teaching, Ji Ning never considered becoming his disciple; her greatest desire was always to become Jiang Yi's disciple.

Jiang Yi did not answer the question, but only said, "Because you will always wake up eventually."

Ji Ning didn't understand and was about to ask again when Jiang Yi interrupted him.

"Go now. Come back whenever you reach the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yi gave Ji Ning no chance to speak and disappeared from her sight.

In the dream, Ji Ning's path had been completely changed by Jiang Yi, including her personality, which was different from that in reality.

Ji Ning in the dream wasn't a bad person, but that couldn't change reality!
