Jiang Yuebai didn't do anything to Xie Jingshan. No matter what, it was because of Xie Jingshan that she and the people of Tianyan Sect were able to receive the protection and care of the Xie Mansion during this period of time, so that the unrest outside did not affect them.
And what Xie Jingshan said was actually not wrong. She dared to invite lightning to strike her at the age of ten. She was indeed cruel and would not even spare herself.
However, when he saw her appear, Xie Jingshan was so frightened that he fell into the pool in panic.
Jiang Yuebai smiled and shook her head, nodded to Zhuo Qingfeng, and without waiting for him to say anything, she flew past him.
The disciples of Tianyan Sect who lived in various places in the courtyard, as well as a few people from Guiyuan Sword Sect who had recently moved in, heard the noise outside and ran out. Jiang Yuebai saw Yunshang, Ge Yuchan and the others, and they were all fine.
Those who were familiar with each other just smiled at each other, but the fellow students who were not familiar with each other gathered around and talked about their concern.
"Senior Sister Jiang, I'm so glad to see that you're okay. I've been so worried about you these days that I've been unable to sleep or eat."
"Can't sleep or eat well? Wipe the snacks from the corners of your mouth! Sister Jiang, let me thank you on behalf of all of us old disciples. If you hadn't intervened in time, we would have been trapped inside."
"Yes, Junior Sister Jiang is really quick-witted. She took action as soon as she noticed something was wrong. She really deserves to be the chief disciple of the younger generation of Tianyan Sect."
"Although there were problems at the last minute this time, our sect disciples were able to reverse the situation. It can be said that our sect alliance won. This is all thanks to Junior Sister Jiang."
Everyone was talking, full of praise, thanks and compliments.
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think that my use of poison is not a righteous method, and it's too despicable?"
Righteous monks have always despised the insidious method of using poison, especially from aristocratic families like the Kong family who practice the way of a gentleman.
To exaggerate a little, if anyone dared to use poison in large quantities like she did, they would definitely be regarded as an evil cultivator, so she held back and did not use poison directly.
As soon as Jiang Yuebai finished asking, he found that some of his senior brothers' eyes twitched, and some of his senior sisters pulled their lips in embarrassment.
"No, we have to make decisions in an emergency. We understand."
"Yes, that's right. Junior Sister Jiang has a noble character. Who outside dares to say that Junior Sister Jiang is not a good person?"
Jiang Yuebai felt something was wrong. Perhaps because they were all from the same school, everyone was biased towards her.
But why were those people from Guiyuan Sword Sect in the distance also smiling awkwardly at her? She felt that there was an inexplicable awe in their eyes.
Did her master do something? That's why everyone is afraid of her
Thanking everyone for their concern, Jiang Yuebai squeezed out of the crowd, pulled Yunshang and Ge Yuchan to Yunshang's room, and saw Yu Qiuchi sitting cross-legged in meditation. He apologized and left, and went to Ge Yuchan's room.
The three of them chatted for half a day, roughly talking about what had happened recently.
Yun Shang and Ge Yuchan didn't ask about Lu Nanzhi's affairs and didn't even mention her name.
The rumors outside were getting more and more intense, and everyone had basically believed the most popular statement, which said that it was Lu Nanzhi who massacred a large number of Fang's disciples, and that she had the support of the ghost clan and the Sanyuan Sect behind her.
Because the ghost clan originally originated from the demon clan and are considered the minions of the demon clan.
No one knows what the outcome of the three alliances' discussion will be, but Kongfang City has been peaceful recently. In addition, Ding Lanzhi said that the martial law will be lifted in a few days. Jiang Yuebai estimates that the Fang and Lu families will not fight for the time being.
As it grew darker, Jiang Yuebai said goodbye to Yun Shang and Ge Yuchan and prepared to go back to continue his retreat.
As soon as she went out, Jiang Yuebai felt itchy all over, and always felt that everyone was secretly paying attention to her.
Passing by the small garden, Jiang Yuebai saw Master Fuyi's eldest disciple, the greedy and life-threatening Jindan Zhenren Li Shenzhi, who seemed to be waiting for her on purpose. It was said that he was also trapped in the upper secret realm this time and almost didn't get out.
Li Shenzhi smiled awkwardly at Jiang Yuebai twice, "Excuse me, nephew. I have some questions I want to ask you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Jiang Yuebai asked doubtfully, "You are my uncle, even if I need advice, it should be me who asks you."
Li Shenzhi said, "High cultivation does not mean high knowledge. With my spiritual root aptitude alone, cultivation before the Golden Core Stage was not difficult at all. But once I entered the Golden Core Stage and began to come into contact with the Five Elements rules to prepare for the formation of the Infant and the Transformation of the God, I felt that many things were obscure and difficult to understand, and I could not make any use of them."
Due to the limitations of lifespan and aptitude, very few people with five spiritual roots can successfully cultivate to the Golden Core stage. But after the Golden Core stage, subsequent cultivation will become relatively easier. As long as one has perseverance, the chance of breaking through to the God Transformation stage is slightly higher than that of a single spiritual root.
On the contrary, for a single spiritual root, it is easy before the Jindan stage, but between the Jindan stage and the peak of the Yuanying stage, one needs to comprehend and complete the five elements, which becomes extremely difficult due to the limitation of the spiritual root.
Only when all five elements are complete can one attain the Yin and Yang gods.
Although this is the case, both the sects and the aristocratic families are still more willing to cultivate disciples with good spiritual roots. Even if they cannot become gods, they have a better chance of cultivating to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms and becoming the backbone of the sects and the aristocratic families.
Moreover, the lifespan of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul is long, so they have more time to find a way to break through. Therefore, in terms of quantity, the number of Divine Transformation cultivators with good spiritual root aptitude is still greater than that of the Divine Transformation cultivators with five spiritual roots.
The five spiritual roots require more resources and more time, the cost of cultivation is too high, and because of the limitation of lifespan, it is easy to die halfway, which is not worth the cost, so most people gradually give up on it.
If it weren't for Jiang Yuebai's fortuitous encounter and his own hard work, he would never have been able to reach his current level of cultivation at the age of twenty-five.
If all goes well, she hopes to reach the Golden Core Stage before the age of forty, which is about the same time as a person with a single spiritual root.
Li Shenzhi nodded, looked around and leaned closer, saying, "To be honest, I gained something unexpected from being trapped this time. I saw fragments of the laws at the border of the secret realm, which gave me some insights into the saying that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
"But this also raises a lot of questions. I know that you and True Lord Jiuchuan practiced the techniques of our ancestor, and your understanding of the Five Elements must be far superior to that of ordinary people. It would be right to ask you for your advice."
Jiang Yuebai didn't expect that being trapped inside could actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. It was also a stroke of luck.
Her understanding of those fragments of laws was also very limited, and what Li Shenzhi had just said had something in common with her current idea of transforming the existing wood, fire and earth spiritual objects into gold and water spiritual objects through the method of mutual generation.
There was a moment in the Xuanming battlefield when she felt that she was about to succeed in the rotation. Now she couldn't recall the feeling at that time, and she didn't know what was missing.
Perhaps it would be helpful and inspiring for her to discuss this with people who have higher cultivation levels.
"Then let's find a quieter place."
"Oh, great!" Li Shenzhi was overjoyed.
At this time, an unusually tall figure walked out from the corner, carrying a treasure box on his back. It was Yun Chang's aunt Yu Qiuchi.
"I want to ask for advice, too."
Li Shenzhi was surprised and asked, "You also saw the fragments of the law?"
"Yeah." Yu Qiuchi nodded.
"And me." Fang Yuxing also walked out of the room.
Li Shenzhi couldn't help but shout, "Aren't you not trapped in there?"
Fang Yuxing raised his sword and said, "I have been suppressing myself at the peak of foundation building for a long time, and I am about to form a pill. It will be beneficial to listen to your discussion."
"I want to listen, too."
"Add a few of us, we can't go anywhere every day, it's boring."
"I can't be left out when discussing this kind of thing."
All the senior brothers and sisters who were in the late stage of foundation building walked out of their rooms one after another, looking at Jiang Yuebai with burning eyes. They all knew about Jiang Yuebai's tactics book, and were worried that they couldn't find a reason to ask for advice.
The corner of Li Shenzhi's mouth twitched as he watched helplessly as his individual consultation turned into a group discussion. It was a pity that he couldn't learn secretly.
Jiang Yuebai also had a headache, but after hearing several people trapped inside say that they saw fragments of the law, she had no choice but to agree in order to hear everyone's different opinions.
"Then let's do it in this little garden. Go get the futon."
Everyone went back to the house to get their futons. Jiang Yuebai found an old futon from his bracelet and chose a place to sit down under the rockery in the garden.
The moon is bright and clear, and the golden osmanthus is fragrant.
Everyone called their friends and came from all over, holding their cushions. They sat in rows in front of Jiang Yuebai, with their backs straight and their heads stretched out, their eyes shining.
Li Shenzhi, Yu Qiuchi, and Fang Yuxing rushed to occupy the front row seats.
Ge Yuchan, He Wangchen and others who were in the early and middle stages of foundation building also came to join in the fun, but Yun Shang didn't like crowds and didn't come out.
Jiang Yuebai blinked blankly. Aren’t we going to discuss the Dao together
How come this attitude is the same as when she was the main speaker? Are people overestimating her
Jiang Yuebai felt a little timid. Her knowledge was not enough to teach so many people. She had always been the one who asked others questions.
At this moment, she suddenly understood her master's headache and desire to run away.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Jiang Yuebai took out the jade slip that recorded his previous insights into the fragments of the law, held it in his hand, and asked Li Shenzhi.
"Uncle Li, can you please tell me your problem in detail first?"
Li Shenzhi cleared his throat, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly without exposing his own strengths and weaknesses.
"I have a friend who..."
