The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 160 Luck Stone

"While you are all at my place practicing these days, I will preach to you for several days!"

After Shui Huan dreamed that Chen Jinshu had returned, she immediately addressed her eight disciples.

"Yes, Master!" The group raised their hands in response.

Then she tossed a jade bracelet with gold patterns into Chen Jinshu's arms.

"This is the spirit beast bracelet I used when I was building my foundation. It's much better quality than the low-grade one you had before! Since the sect leader has already promised to replace it for you, he won't go back on his word. However, it should be included with the reward you received for bringing back witnesses from the demonic cultivator!"

"Thank you Master!"

Chen Jinshu thanked her softly. The jade bracelet felt light and cool to the touch, and when worn, it blended directly with her body temperature, making it completely imperceptible.

Since it hadn't been refined, one could only see its size using divine sense; it was five times larger than the previous spirit beast bag, and the mine inside was immense.

"The spirit beast bracelet is meant to hold spirit beasts, and the decorator will also discard it again."

"Disciple understands!"

"Alright! It's getting late! Time to go." Shui Huanmeng said, flying directly onto the back of the Fire Feather Crane and heading towards the Azure Ripple Palace.

Chen Jinshu noticed that the disciples around her were being taken away by their respective peak masters, and some, like her, were being taken away by their masters.

A thought instantly formed in her mind.

The Xuanming Sect is making another big move.

Disciples like Chen Jinshu, who have already been examined by the Demon-Revealing Mirror, have had their demonic cultivator identities basically identified.

Of course, there are also some cultivators who associate with demonic cultivators but do not practice demonic arts, so they cannot be found.

As for the elders and disciples from other sects, they were all detained by the sect leader, who was discussing something privately and had gathered them in different places.

With these fallen demon disciples as witnesses, the sect elders and disciples cannot deny their guilt.

What she was more curious about at this moment was what kind of compensation the sects would demand from each other, since the appearance of demonic cultivators among the disciples who participated in the cave heaven was no small matter.

"Junior sister! It's time to leave! This place is going to be lively soon!" Senior brother Zheng Shaosi gently reminded her.

"Ok!"

Chen Jinshu withdrew her gaze and released the Gale Gourd from her hair bun.

Then, riding the gourd, they flew towards the Biyi Palace.

Zheng Shaosi and the others also used various methods to leave.

……

A moment later, at the Biyi Palace.

All eight disciples of Shui Huanmeng's sect have gathered together.

She was already sitting calmly on the cushion in the center of the front hall, having brewed some tea.

"Please sit down! Do you know why I summoned you here to cultivate for a period of time?"

“Master wants us to stay away from the upcoming purge of demonic cultivators in the sect! Among the hundreds of disciples participating in the cave, more than ten Xuanming Sect disciples have fallen into the demonic path. You can imagine how many hidden demonic cultivators are among the thousands of people in the sect!” Huai Jingyi pondered, and when his senior brother asked him to speak, he told him what he knew.

“Not bad! But not quite!” Shui Huanmeng nodded with great satisfaction, then paused slightly before speaking.

At this moment, Chen Jinshu and the others sitting at the two rows of tea tables all looked at her.

"I have sensed the bottleneck and will soon be going into seclusion to break through it! This seclusion could last two or three years, or even more than five years! Therefore, I will give you some pointers before I go into seclusion. Especially Jinshu! Now is the perfect time for you to lay a solid foundation. It would be best if you could establish your foundation within five years!"

Everyone was surprised to hear this. They knew that their master had been stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage for quite some time, but breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was no small matter. Most peak Golden Core cultivators would cultivate in seclusion for ten years or more before attempting a breakthrough, while their master seemed to have only been at it for less than five years.

"You don't need to be surprised. My foundation is solid, so I break through a little faster than ordinary Golden Core peak cultivators!"

"When will Master go into seclusion?" Zheng Shaosi asked.

"Within three months, after the sect has finished purging the demonic cultivators!"

At this moment, Huai Jingyi could only pray that his master would break through smoothly. Although he was proficient in divination, he dared not make any predictions for his master, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator, for fear of suffering a great backlash.

It might even affect one's destiny.

Chen Jinshu felt that she had spent too little time with her master. Now, less than a year had passed, and her master had been in seclusion for five years. She was sure that she had accumulated a lot of cultivation problems.

"Don't worry! Five years will pass in the blink of an eye!" Shui Huanmeng said, raising her hand to hand eight cups of orange-yellow spiritual tea to the eight disciples.

"This is a body-strengthening tea! It can remove impurities from your body, thus strengthening your body and making your cultivation progress rapidly!"

"Thank you Master!"

Chen Jinshu picked up the spiritual tea in front of him and drank it down without hesitation. A moment later, he felt a warm sensation in his abdomen.

"Alright! Now that you've drunk the spiritual tea, go and choose your rooms! Come and ask me any problems you encounter in your cultivation these next few days!"

"Jinshu, stay here!" Shui Huanmeng said with a smile as she glanced at Chen Jinshu.

Chen Jinshu knew that her master would call her, so she did not get up.

After her senior brothers and sisters had all left, Shui Huanmeng closed the door.

"Master! Your disciple has lived up to your expectations! I have obtained a mysterious stone!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Jinshu quickly took a wooden box out of his storage bag and handed it to his master.

Do you know what kind of stone this is?

"Disciple doesn't know!"

"You might need this someday! This is a Tribulation Stone! It can help those undergoing tribulation avoid a fatal heavenly calamity!"

"A calamity stone?" Chen Jinshu frowned slightly, as this was the first time he had ever heard of such a strange stone.

"Do you know that a Golden Core cultivator must overcome three tribulations and five calamities to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"I hope Master can explain! Your cultivation is still shallow, and knowing too much is not a good thing. I will just give you a brief explanation!"

"The three tribulations for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage are the Lightning Tribulation, the Physical Body Tribulation, and the Karmic Tribulation, also known as the Inner Demon Tribulation! Among them, the Lightning Tribulation and the Karmic Tribulation are the most dangerous. Failure to overcome them means death! This Tribulation of Fortune can exempt you from one of these tribulations!"

"It's that amazing?" Chen Jinshu blinked.

"Although I searched for traces of this item back then, I ultimately did not take it. Firstly, my cultivation was still shallow, and taking it out would have too great an impact. Secondly, that snake demon only destroyed its physical body, but its soul remained intact. Breaking the chess game is easy, but destroying the snake demon is difficult! If the snake demon doesn't die, we can't get this Calamity Stone..." Shui Huanmeng said, her eyes filled with reminiscence.

"Master! When I arrived there, everyone in the village had been devoured by another snake demon!"

"Alas! These people cannot escape this fate!"

"Does Master know about those people?"

"That was over three hundred years ago! The villagers lived off spirit mushrooms, and of course, I also obtained quite a few spores. You can see them too, these spirit mushrooms planted in the front and back yards! They were punished by heaven, condemned by the creator of the cave, and left to suffer in a land teeming with demonic beasts. This cave was their prison!"

"I never imagined they would still die inside the snake demon's belly! Ultimately, they couldn't overcome their heavenly tribulation!"

As Shui Huanmeng spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"By the way, Master! After we killed the snake demon, we found a blood-red jade pendant in its cave. The blood energy it releases will cause any cultivator to go out of control if they come into contact with it!"
