The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 155 Jiang Family Secret Technique

A long time passed before the various sounds outside the bushes gradually faded away.

Before the sword immortal, the tiger's corpse had long been moved away, leaving only bloodstains on the ground, a reminder of what had just happened to the two of them.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and go." The sword immortal patted Jiang Qingxue, who was already terrified, and reminded her.

Jiang Qingxue paused for two seconds before standing up with the sword immortal.

The events that happened to that tiger had a profound impact on her.

At that time, the tiger's eyes were already blind, leaving only empty eye sockets pointing at the two of them.

She was just a woman who had never seen bloodshed before. She had been well protected by the Jiang family and had rarely even come into contact with normal battles between cultivators.

Not to mention a life-or-death struggle of this magnitude.

As for the Sword Immortal, he had a different idea.

The reason for returning to the sect now is to quickly inform the sect leader of this news.

He felt that this instance must be unusual, and that it might trigger some good quests.

That way, his experience points will increase again, and now his cultivation level is only 50% away from the fifth level of Qi Refining.

A breakthrough is just around the corner.

The sword immortal led Jiang Qingxue back to the sect, traversing muddy paths and mountains.

Although they encountered some monsters along the way, fortunately they were all relatively weak and were easily killed by the sword immortal.

His swordsmanship was so sharp and unparalleled that Jiang Qingxue, who was watching from the side, was somewhat mesmerized.

But it's obvious that the Sword Immortal himself is unaware of this; his entire focus is now solely on the hidden dungeon.

After some time, the two finally returned to the Qingyun Sect.

Jiang Qingxue then returned to the disciples' dormitory, while the sword immortal went to Zhou Yi's courtyard.

Inside the small courtyard.

The leaves of the sycamore tree are covered with frost, glistening and translucent.

Zhou Yi sat on a stone bench under a tree, gazing at the entrance, lost in thought.

That Sword Immortal brat—I didn't even look for him, yet he came looking for me himself.

I should ask him what he's been up to lately, since his experience points haven't increased much.

It's important to know that players are generally progressing very quickly these days.

Qianlong has already reached 80% of his experience points, and Wohu is almost at the breakthrough level due to his cultivation of the "Primordial Moon Flower Technique".

As for Li Fan and the other two, although their experience points did not increase much due to their special mission, Zhou Yi would use his luck points to boost their cultivation level upon completion.

As his thoughts raced, the sword immortal had already reached the doorway.

"Disciple Sword Immortal greets Sect Master." Sword Immortal bowed to Zhou Yi from afar.

"Come sit at the stone table," Zhou Yi said.

The sword immortal was horrified upon seeing this.

The sect leader actually took the initiative to invite me over; it seems this hidden plot is truly extraordinary.

That's a huge profit!

Thinking of this, the sword immortal felt that all the frustration he had accumulated in his heart from enduring Jiang Qingxue's nagging a few days ago had been swept away.

After all, it's all about completing tasks, so no matter how tiring it is, it's worth it.

"Sword Immortal, I've noticed that your cultivation hasn't improved recently. Has something happened?" Zhou Yi asked softly with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the sword immortal quickly nodded.

Need I say more? It's obvious that the sect leader is preparing to trigger a mission.

He can't afford to hesitate at crucial moments.

Sword Immortal: "Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple recently—"

And so, he told Zhou Yi everything that had happened in the past few days, including what happened to Jiang Qingxue.

When Zhou Yi heard the name Jiang Qingxue, he was a little confused for a moment.

Clearly, he couldn't understand when his Qingxuan Sect had acquired this NPC.

How could he, as the sect leader, not know?

It wasn't until the Sword Immortal told Zhou Yi that Jiang Qingxue was the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family that Zhou Yi realized what was happening.

It seems that Jiang Qingxue had already come over when we exchanged the refining seeds last time.

However, because he was busy with other things, he subconsciously overlooked this person.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile helplessly.

The Jiang family kindly nurtured two promising weapon-refining talents for him, yet he didn't specifically teach this eldest daughter of the Jiang family any secret techniques, which is somewhat unreasonable.

But despite these thoughts, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to ask further questions at this moment, because if that were all, the Sword Immortal would not have come specifically to find him.

Sure enough, a moment later.

The sword immortal took a deep breath and told Zhou Yi everything about the mountain spring that day.

Upon hearing the words "spiritual spring," a look of surprise immediately appeared on Zhou Yi's face.

As a former bamboo cutter for the Zhou family, how could he not have a detailed understanding of the Spirit Spring?

The so-called "spiritual spring" is a place where spiritual light shines.

The surrounding spiritual energy is abundant, and cultivators can improve their physique and strengthen their meridians by soaking in the spiritual spring. It is also an excellent place for cultivating body-refining techniques.

It can be described as a true holy land for cultivation.

However, due to the characteristics of the spiritual spring, many demonic beasts are also attracted to it, making it very difficult to guard a spiritual spring.

However, if it's just a matter of holding out for a short period and then withdrawing afterward, then it's not a big problem.

After sending the sword immortal away, Zhou Yi's thoughts shifted, and he returned to Jiang Qingxue from the matter of the spirit spring.

He doesn't know much about the specifics of the Spirit Spring yet, only that there are at least two forces involved, and that the monsters are too dangerous, so it's not advisable to act rashly.

Therefore, this matter can be postponed for some time.

However, the matter of Jiang Qingxue must be resolved as soon as possible.

Two days ago, Jiang Yunhe sent someone to tell him that the Jiang family would be visiting soon.

Although the official purpose was to trade magical artifacts, in reality, they must also have been testing whether their own daughter had learned any real skills while cultivating here.

Time is already very tight.

Thinking this, Zhou Yi notified one of his disciples to summon Jiang Qingxue.

Then Zhou Yi waved his hand and directly assigned her 80 sect contribution points as a reward for this exploration.

This would allow her to purchase magical artifacts, or rather, to exchange them for cultivation techniques at the Scripture Pavilion.

That way, when the Jiang family arrives, things will still look presentable.

Jiang Qingxue received her contribution points and left the courtyard excitedly.

In her view, this was the first cultivation resource she had earned through her own abilities.

Not only was the quantity large, but the significance was also extraordinary, so I was naturally overjoyed.

In the courtyard, only Zhou Yi remained, sipping his tea alone.

He was really looking forward to the Jiang family coming over.

After all, it seems the Jiang family will also be contributing a few decent magical artifacts in this transaction.

If that were the only reason, the Book of Changes certainly wouldn't have such expectations.

But importantly, the magical artifact used in this transaction was crafted using the Jiang family's secret techniques.

In this way, the effects of using magical artifacts can also inherit the supernatural powers of those demonic beasts.

"The Jiang family, the Jiang family, your method of refining is truly remarkable." Zhou Yi put down his teacup and looked up in the direction of the Jiang family.
