I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 556 Deep Bond Between Master and Disciple (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Jiang Yi handed over all the jade slips and books left behind by Xingyan Sanren to Shen Qianling.

The entire "Heart-Piercing Technique" has been recorded. It is said that these are all classic texts on array formations, progressing from simple to complex. They are more profound and sophisticated than the array formation knowledge currently available in the cultivation world, making them very suitable for Hua Gu to learn.

Jiang Yi didn't know if it meant to "pierce the heart" or if Hua Gu wanted to learn it herself. Hua Gu had been studying talismans and arrays recently.

The "Mysterious Ink Scripture" that Zhu Xin modified for Hua Gu was not as complicated as the one Fu Liu learned. It simply allowed Hua Gu to use its methods to transform the patterns on her demon core into the four great runes of "wind, rain, thunder, and ice," which were closest to the origin of the Great Dao and suited her own attributes.

These four runes are like a talisman cultivator's natal talisman, which can be nurtured within the body and accumulate power as cultivation progresses, thus enhancing the ability to cast spells of the corresponding attributes in the future.

At crucial moments, it can also become a powerful finishing move, unleashing the accumulated power all at once. Its principle is somewhat similar to the Hidden Edge Sword, and it is very likely that the Heart-Piercing Sword also references its principle.

Talismans are the foundation of formations. Learning talisman techniques does not necessarily mean one can master the art of formations, but if one wants to learn the art of formations, one must first lay a foundation in talisman techniques.

Jiang Yi guessed that Hua Gu probably wanted to learn the art of array formation because everyone had a skill.

After discussing it, the group agreed to Jiang Yi's suggestion.

As promised, Jiang Yi had Fu Liu escort them, using the power of the Five Elements Copper Coin Array and the Xuanwu Heart Fire to protect a flying magic weapon, safely sending the group out of the storm area.

I thought I would have to fight those two evil cultivators from Ten Thousand Poisons Island when I went out, but to my surprise, the two of them were not lying in ambush outside.

The storm outside intensified, and perhaps the two were unable to withstand it, leaving them with no choice but to leave.

The way back can only be walked by Yu Qianlang and the others. If Fu Liu goes any further away, she will lose contact with Jiang Yi.

This round trip will take at least a month.

At this moment, only Jiang Yi, Dan Xi, Long Ri, Jiang Yu Rong, and Xuan Hui Hua Gu and the other demon spirits remained on the island.

Long Ri had just broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. She and Dan Xi had returned from exploring the depths of the outer sea. On the way, they suffered some internal injuries due to the fierce winds and thunder and several battles with demonic beasts. They were recuperating in meditation.

Jiang Yurong remained seated cross-legged in meditation, silent and still.

Xuan Hui was forced into seclusion by Dan Xi, who told him that if he didn't work harder, he would have to call Jiang Yi "Senior Sister" from now on. He could afford to lose face like that, but Dan Xi couldn't.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hui had no choice but to reluctantly go into seclusion to absorb the power of the demon core.

Danxi chatted with Jiang Yi, asking her about her experiences over the years.

Although Jiang Yi no longer longed for family affection, Danxi's genuine care from her elders still made Jiang Yi easily let down her guard.

Jiang Yi, acting on her whims and speaking freely, began to pour out her troubles to Dan Xi, telling her about the difficulties she had encountered over the years and the various grievances she had experienced.

Jiang Yi told Danxi everything, especially about how Zhao Cangyun had his arm cut off by Xia Changying and some of the Qilin Golden Flame taken from him, yet he didn't dare tell her.

Danxi was furious. "Fine, fine, fine, Xia Changying! Don't worry, once Master successfully reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the first thing I'll do when we get back is cut off his head for you and Cangyun to kick around with! You don't need to worry about this. Bullying my disciple is like stepping on my face, and I will never let him get away with it!"

Jiang Yi suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She accepted this normal emotion and immediately reached out to hug Danxi.

"Master, you are so kind!"

Danxi looked disgusted. "A person over a hundred years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

Despite saying that, Danxi couldn't stop smiling.

Suddenly, the master and disciple shuddered and felt a cold light behind them. They turned around and saw that Jiang Yurong, who had been meditating behind them, had opened her eyes at some point and was staring blankly at the master and disciple who were embracing each other.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a deep bond between master and disciple?"

Danxi stretched out her long arm and simply put her arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder, ignoring Jiang Yurong, and continued to ask about Su Hua. When Jiang Yi mentioned that Grandmaster Su Hua was waiting for Danxi to return and take over the Cangling Sect, Danxi was not annoyed, but nodded, showing great responsibility.

"You've all worked hard these past years. Don't worry, when I get back, I'll kill Xia Changying first, and then I'll definitely take on the responsibilities I should bear."

"The three great sword sects valued the demon spirits' ability to withstand the demonic tide, which is why they supported the reconstruction of the Cangling Sect. We cannot allow the three great sword sects and the people of the Eastern Continent's cultivation world to look down on us. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. The matter of the demonic tide is not over yet, and we cultivators with experience in resisting the demonic tide must not shrink back."

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded, feeling that her master's figure suddenly became taller and more imposing. She also suddenly understood why her master and her mother were able to become such close friends.

They are all people with a heart for the world, responsible and committed, with shared aspirations, and are true like-minded.

The master and disciple leaned against each other and talked for three days and three nights without finishing. Jiang Yurong had long since moved to a place where she could not see them to meditate and regulate her breathing, out of sight, out of mind.

Jiang Yi gave Hong Li the weapon of cessation, and Hong Li was studying another version of herself.

Zhu Xin would take Hua Gu to the edge of the storm every day to absorb the Xun wind and raging thunder. Zhao Ming and Yao Ling were bored, so they would spar with each other at sea. Later, Zhen Shan and Duan Jin joined in, and the outside was noisy all day long.

Qingxiao was rather docile and didn't like to move around much. He returned to Youxian Ferry and rested on the ancient Ziqiong tree.

Currently, among all the demon spirits, Zhu Xin is the one who is dragging things down, while Hua Gu is making the fastest progress and has already reached the critical point of Nascent Soul formation. Hua Gu is currently a level-element demon spirit, and there is no obstacle to Nascent Soul formation.

As long as Zhu Xin and the other demon spirits catch up in cultivation, the five of them will form their Nascent Souls together.

When Jiang Yi and Dan Xi ran out of things to say, they started talking about the island. They mentioned that Xingyan Sanren had set up a powerful array around the island, which would turn it into a calm eye of the storm when storms came from the outer sea, protecting it from the raging winds and thunder.

When there are no storms in the open sea, this great formation will hide the island. People on the island can see what is happening outside, but people outside cannot detect the existence of the island.

Danxi had seen several Nascent Soul cultivators pass by the island, but none of them noticed its existence.

Otherwise, Danxi wouldn't have stayed here for so long.

"By the way, how did you get in before? I set up a double-layered array inside and outside the island, it shouldn't be like this."

Danxi suddenly remembered this and asked Jiang Yi.

They've been chatting so relaxed these past few days that Jiang Yi blurted out her thoughts without thinking.

"Master, you should focus on refining weapons; setting up formations isn't for you."

Danxi: ………………

With a deafening shout of "Get out!", the relationship between the master and apprentice broke down.

However, Jiang Yi, being thick-skinned, didn't leave; instead, she went over and smiled.

"Master, I'll show you something fun."

Jiang Yi took out a set of mahjong tiles that he had recently crafted. Since this was the cultivation world, calling them mahjong was not quite appropriate, so Jiang Yi renamed them "Mountains and Rivers Tiles".

She set up a table, explained the rules of the game to her master, and then called over Longri, Hongli, and Duanjin to play with her master.

My master has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but he has been suppressing his cultivation level and can no longer continue to cultivate.

Before she could achieve godhood, she needed to adjust her mindset, and playing mahjong would be a good way to relax.

Jiang Yi herself wanted to take advantage of the time before Yu Qianlang and the others returned to use the "Drunken Dream" technique to find Xiao Wujiu, compose the sword technique into a musical score, and increase her strength so that she would have more ways to protect herself when facing many Nascent Soul cultivators after entering the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm.
