Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

Chapter 105 Current Situation

A night of absurdity, and dawn broke in the blink of an eye.

At dawn, a faint tinge of white appeared on the horizon.

The churning sea fog shrouded the entire Qingluo Island in a grayish-white hue.

The smoke on the island had mostly dissipated, and the shouts and roars that had lasted all night gradually subsided.

Only in a few scattered places could one occasionally hear brief clashes.

Southwest of the island.

There is a crescent-shaped beach surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The tide receded slowly, revealing a large expanse of mudflats.

Small turtles and crabs peeked out from the crevices of the rocks, rustling as they foraged for food on the sand.

A small cat with dark blue fur, silver tips on its ears and tail, and black markings all over its body was darting around on the beach.

Sometimes it would reach out its claws to poke at the little crabs, and sometimes it would chase the little turtles all over the beach, having a great time.

A corner of the beach.

A cave was concealed by the formation.

From a distance, it appears as an ordinary, rugged stone wall.

Deep inside the cave, on a flat stone slab.

Two naked bodies were tightly embracing, their limbs intertwined.

The campfire had long since gone out, leaving only a few faint traces of warmth.

Along the edge of the stone slab, robes and skirts lay scattered in disarray, embroidered shoes and undergarments half-hidden.

There was also a pair of black silk stockings that had been torn to shreds.

Jiang Yi looked relaxed and content, one arm around the beauty in his arms, while the other hand continued to wander and caress her.

I was indeed a bit too unrestrained last night.

Somehow they ended up in one place.

Thinking back on his cultivation up to this point, Jiang has considered himself to have been self-disciplined and chaste.

Last night, however, I was so infatuated that I lost my innocence in a daze.

Sigh, thinking about it now, I really regret it...

Qin Ruyi was breathing softly, her black hair was loose, and her cheeks were still flushed. She was sleeping soundly against his chest.

She was already recovering from her injuries, and then she endured a night of beatings.

Exhausted and feeling weak all over, I was fast asleep and completely unaware of anything.

Time passed slowly.

About half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

As dawn broke and the sun rose in the east, dappled light shone through the cave entrance, casting shadows across the sky.

"Hmm~"

At one moment, Qin Ruyi's eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually returning.

Feeling the large hand still throbbing against her body, she frowned slightly, impatiently slapped it away, and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop messing around, I can't take this kind of torment anymore."

Jiang Yi chuckled softly, looking at the listless state of the beauty in his arms, unable to withstand the pleasure of being ridden, and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and said with a sly grin, "I've always said I'm a tough guy, and I'm sure I didn't disappoint you last night. But I wonder if you were satisfied with my skills?"

Qin Ruyi blushed, suddenly reached out, grabbed his groin and pinched it hard, saying angrily, "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you can forget about having this thing!"

"hiss!"

Jiang Yi gasped, his body arching, and he begged for mercy repeatedly, "I was wrong, I was wrong! Fairy, please have mercy! I will never dare to do it again. Let's talk this out, please don't do anything reckless!"

Qin Ruyi then let go with a cold snort, leaning against Jiang Yi's chest, her lips slightly upturned: "Don't take me for some fickle woman. What happened last night was just an accident. There won't be a next time. Let's pretend it never happened, and don't mention it again in the future."

Jiang Yi sighed and looked at her with a resentful expression: "I never thought that Fairy Qin would be this kind of person. Not only did she play with me, but now she's already prepared to abandon me before I've even put on my clothes."

Stop being so cheeky.

Qin Ruyi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said reproachfully, "Judging from how skillfully you performed those tricks last night, you must have used them on those wild women quite a bit. Thinking about it now, I feel a little regretful and disgusted!"

Jiang Yi straightened his expression and explained, "Fairy, please don't misunderstand! I, Jiang, have always been chaste and pure, and never get entangled with women."

If the fairy hadn't insisted on taking it last night, I, Jiang, would have preferred death to submission, resisted fiercely, and preserved my innocence!

As for the fancy skills the fairy mentioned, they were merely taught by a deity in a dream. I, Jiang, was born with them and used them instinctively; there was nothing I could do about it.

"Pfft~"

Qin Ruyi burst out laughing.

After a moment, her smile faded, and her tone became more serious: "This place is no longer safe to stay. I plan to leave once my injuries have healed. Tens of thousands of miles west of Qingluo Island lies Baihua Island, which is occupied and managed by Baihua Tower. Most of its members are female Daoists, skilled in alchemy and cultivation."

The island is serene and full of spiritual energy; I had heard of it before. Now that I think about it, it seems like a wonderful place. I wonder what your plans are, and whether you would like to accompany me?

Jiang Yi remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It is good that the fairy has this idea. However, what is suitable for the fairy may not be suitable for me. We still need to carefully consider where to go. Let's observe the situation first before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruyi stopped asking questions, quietly nestled in his arms, slowly closed her eyes, and enjoyed the rare tranquility and tenderness.

Silence fell over the cave for a moment, both lost in their own thoughts.

After a long silence, Qin Ruyi suddenly opened her eyes again and spoke in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you know exactly what happened between Wang Lang and your master back then?"

Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback, but did not respond.

Qin Ruyi continued, her voice very soft: "Back then, Wang Lang and your master went to sea together because they received an invitation from a member of the Wang family, who said that they had discovered a cave dwelling of the ancients and invited him to explore it together."

Wang Lang was unwilling to go, but the man persisted and forced him to go. In the end, he had no choice but to agree to go with him.

He had a bad feeling before he left, so he revealed some inside information to me, and later—as expected, he never returned.

She paused, then looked up at Jiang Yi and said, "I have spent so much time with you, fellow Daoist. Although I dare not say that I understand you completely, I can see that you are no ordinary person."

"I'm telling you all this today not for any other reason than to remind you, fellow Daoist, that if you ever acquire such ability in the future, you must seek justice from the Wang family!"

Jiang Yi remained silent, his eyes calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

After a moment, she finally spoke and asked, "How can Fairy Qin be so sure it was the Wang family who did it? Did Fellow Daoist Wang leave any clues at the time?"

Qin Ruyi said softly, "I only know one name, but after making inquiries over the years, I have confirmed that the person is still alive and well, and his cultivation has improved. He is doing very well and is enjoying great success. However, Wang Lang and your master have vanished without a trace."

'

After hearing this...

Jiang Yi did not speak passionately, nor did he express righteous indignation or vow to avenge his master's death.

She simply nodded and said, "I understand."

Qin Ruyi stopped there and didn't say anything more.

The two embraced in silence for a while, then began to talk about the current situation on the island.

The island lord, Feng, has yet to be found, and it remains to be seen how this chaotic situation will ultimately end.

But as they were talking, Qin Ruyi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Jiang Yi's breathing became heavy again, and his hands, which were resting on his chest, began to wander.

Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly got up and moved away, grabbing a piece of her scattered dress to cover herself. She scolded, "Get out of here right now. Don't get any funny ideas. Remember, what happened last night is over. Don't think about it again, and don't do anything reckless."

Jiang Yi didn't insist. He smiled, stood up, picked up his robe, and dressed neatly. He then cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Ruyi: "In that case, fairy, please rest and recuperate in the cave and try to heal your injuries as soon as possible. I'll go outside to check on the situation and return in a little while."

Qin Ruyi waved her hand and reminded her, "Don't forget to bring two sets of clean clothes when you come back."

After saying that, she ignored him, sat cross-legged on the stone slab, took out two spirit stones, held them in her palm, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing.

Jiang Yi smiled slightly, turned around with a flick of his sleeve, and walked out of the cave with a beaming smile.

His gaze swept across the beach, and he waved to Little Pear playing not far away, calling out, "Little Pear, come here quickly, Master will take you for a walk around the area."

"Meow~"

Little Pear's eyes lit up at the sound, and she excitedly ran over, her four little paws thrashing about.

She pounced on Jiang Yi, darting up his robes and onto his shoulder, before settling down properly.

Jiang Yi smiled silently, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and quickly rose and fell among the tree branches, quietly making his way inland from the island.

About fifteen minutes later.

A person and a cat stopped at the edge of the forest.

Jiang Yi's eyes were serious. He glanced left and right, then leaped onto a thick, giant tree and hid among the dense branches and leaves.

He then scooped up the pear and whispered instructions in her ear.

Tell him not to be naughty and playful, to work hard, and if he does a good job, he'll get an extra chicken leg when he gets back.

"Meow~"

Little Pear nodded obediently, twisted her body, and with a whoosh, darted out, disappearing into the depths of the treetops in the blink of an eye.

'

Time slips away quietly.

An hour passed quickly.

Jiang Yi remained seated cross-legged among the tree branches with his eyes closed, not moving an inch.

Holding a small bronze shield in his palm, he silently used his magic to cleanse and refine it, gradually erasing the original owner's remaining marks.

Li Kun was, after all, a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and his magical power was refined and profound.

He was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and there was a significant gap between them.

The whole process was quite difficult and not easy.

To refine this magical artifact to the point where it can be used at will and as easily as one's own arm, it will take a considerable amount of effort.

Not long after that.

A faint rustling sound suddenly came from the nearby mountains and forests, rapidly approaching.

Jiang Yi sat still, seemingly oblivious, but a slight smile played on his lips.

After a short rest.

With a whoosh, a small, exquisite black shadow emerged from among the branches and leaves, rushing straight towards him.

Jiang Yi smiled, reached out and caught the heavy cat, rubbed it all over, and praised it gently: "Good boy, Little Pear has grown up, become sensible, and is becoming more and more capable. Now you can also help your master with his worries."

"Meow~"

Little Pear was beaming with pride, her big eyes sparkling, and she almost let her tail wag in the air.

"hehe."

Jiang Yi smiled, put away the small shield, and calmed his magic.

He then picked up Xiaoli and quietly turned back towards the beach.

His face remained calm, but his mind was racing with thoughts, as if deep in thought.

Xiao Li just took a general tour of various parts of Qingluo Island.

It seems that everything that needed to be looted had been looted, so the chaos gradually subsided.

More importantly...

It also saw sails standing tall on the dock, and many large ships were sailing in.

Judging from the shape of the sails described by the little guy, it was clearly the fleet of the Wang, Luo, and Liu families.

A chill ran through Jiang Yi's heart.

From this perspective, it is clear that they were indeed stirring up trouble behind the scenes, turning a perfectly good Qingluo Island upside down.

They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

The island lord, Feng, who had occupied the island for decades, never showed his face from beginning to end.

This shows that the severity of his injuries far exceeded outside speculation.

What brings you prosperity, you will also bring you ruin.

With him in charge, no villain dared to act recklessly.

But if anything happens to him, the entire island will be thrown into chaos in an instant.

This is also the harsh reality faced by many small sects and cultivation families.

If the founder of a business encounters an accident, or if there is no successor or a lack of young talent, it will inevitably attract a pack of wolves.

Ultimately, it was gradually devoured and replaced by another party.
