The night is dark and the stars are dim.
Tiansha Peak was completely deserted, with only the chirping of cicadas and frogs, and the sad-looking disciples of Tianjian Peak. Everyone else had already surrounded the victorious Jiang Yuebai and left in a lively manner.
Dozens of male and female disciples from Tianjian Peak gathered together and watched Fang Yuxing standing with his back to them under the Welcoming Pine on the cliff, facing the flattened side peak in the distance. He lowered his head in silence, only his shoulders moved slightly.
Everyone felt sad and bitter in their mouths, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort him. They could only watch from afar and not disturb the eldest brother.
Xie Jingshan stood alone at the place where Jiang Yuebai stood during the day, feeling the intensity of the battle. It was as if the images were replaying in his sea of consciousness, replaying the fierce battle, except that the person fighting against Jiang Yuebai was now him.
Keep stopping, keep starting over, and look for ways to break the opponent's moves.
"Sword Master!"
When everyone saw Ling Guanghan appear, they hurriedly bowed and looked at Fang Yuxing secretly.
Fang Yuxing still didn't respond.
"Sword Master, Jiang Yuebai damaged our Tianjian Peak. Should we ask her to pay for the repairs?"
An older male cultivator who was in charge of Tianjian Peak's internal affairs asked cautiously.
Ling Guanghan felt a chill all over his body, and he looked up and glanced at the flattened mountain in the distance.
"No need to repair it. That place will be your cliff of reflection from now on. If you slack off in practicing swordsmanship, go there and think about today. Think about how you would respond if Jiang Yuebai wanted to kill you."
There was a gasp and everyone shuddered.
Ling Guanghan glanced at Xie Jingshan, frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards Fang Yuxing.
Everyone behind him immediately gathered together and looked over nervously, wondering if the eldest brother would burst into tears when he faced the master.
Ling Guanghan walked behind Fang Yuxing. Fang Yuxing noticed the person coming, dispersed the sword energy in his palm and turned around, his eyes full of excitement and an unconcealable smile.
"Master, I know what the problem is with my sword will transforming into a form. It's the dragon's might. Although the silver dragon transformed by my sword will is detailed enough, I have not comprehended the dragon's might."
"Originally, there was no real dragon in this world that allowed me to comprehend the dragon's might up close. Today, I fought with her. Her spear actually had the might of a real dragon. I have already..."
Fang Yuxing raised his hand, silver light gathered, the sword intent turned into a dragon, and the power of a real dragon rushed straight to Ling Guanghan's face. This power could intimidate the enemy. As long as the enemy hesitated and retreated for a moment, it would be enough for him to strike directly at the vital point.
Seeing this, Ling Guanghan said nothing, but raised his hand and patted Fang Yuxing on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Sword cultivators are fearless by nature and use killing to prove their truth, so it is very easy for them to die in a fight. Ever since Miaoyin and his two disciples died one after another, it has been difficult for Ling Guanghan to get along with other disciples like the master and disciple pair of Li Jiuchuan and Jiang Yuebai.
"Haha, I know how to break this move, hahaha!"
Xie Jingshan's voice came from behind, followed by an extremely strong sword energy rushing up from him, and the aftermath swept across.
The disciples of Tianjian Peak were caught off guard and were blown away. Ling Guanghan's expression turned stern, and a stream of energy burst out from his body, shaking off the energy.
Xie Jingshan was like a balloon full of holes. Countless sword energies overflowed from all over his body, whistling and tearing the air.
He stood there scratching his head in confusion, "I think... I'm about to form a pill!!"
Boom!
The weather suddenly changed and a strong wind blew.
Ling Guang pursed his lips coldly, waved his sleeves, picked up Xie Jingshan and galloped towards an uninhabited place in the Jiuchong Mountains.
"Master, wait a minute. I'm not ready yet."
Xie Jingshan's terrified shout broke the silence of the night and made everyone at Tianjian Peak laugh, sweeping away their gloom and depression.
＊
Jiang Yuebai had just returned to Tianku Peak and had not even had time to drink a sip of water to look for the missing Jixiang when he received two letters of request to fight.
One was from Yu Qiuchi, and the other was from Luo Fusheng, the most experienced and accomplished late Jindan cultivator in the Tianyan Sect, a cultivator obsessed with all kinds of magic.
Jiang Yuebai made excuses to turn them all down, showing he had no interest.
Just after she rejected the letter of request, Qi Ming sent her a thick stack of visiting cards, all of which wanted to discuss philosophy with her and make friends under the moonlight.
Three months later, it was time for the Tianyan Sect's Qi-training disciples' competition. I heard that this year, the Tianyan Sect also invited disciples from the Yuling Sect and the Chixiao Sect to participate.
Jiang Yuebai felt a headache when he thought about being visited and criticized like a monkey.
She now understands Yun Shang a little bit. Why does she dislike dealing with people? Some social engagements cannot be avoided due to etiquette, but they are really annoying.
"Looks like I have to run away and pack up now!"
The most important thing is that she has seen the ancient banyan tree more often when she entered into meditation recently, and her proficiency in the "Immortal Herb Sutra" has also increased rapidly. If the Ganoderma lucidum on her head continues to grow, it will turn into an umbrella.
She once endured the pain and tried to cut it, but as soon as she cut, she felt a tearing sensation on her golden elixir, which scared her so much that she stopped immediately.
They were cleaning up in the middle of the night when suddenly a loud thunder made Jiang Yuebai shiver. The aftereffects of the thunder tribulation had not yet completely passed.
"Who is this warrior who dares to survive the calamity in the sect?"
Jiang Yuebai opened the window to look, and a flying sword carrying a letter rushed in front of him.
[Wait for me to form the elixir, we have something to discuss—Xie Jingshan]
"So it's you who has formed the elixir. Never mind, it's okay to wait for you for a few days."
Putting down the Quehuo Ding which he had not put away yet, Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged in his alchemy room, supporting his chin with his hand to check the other four gourds in his dantian.
The number of cracks is increasing, but it hasn't broken yet, but it will probably break soon.
The Lotus Platform Cave was still a mess. All kinds of unused garbage had been thrown in over the years, decomposing into various spiritual energies that were piled up in a disorderly manner on the lotus platforms.
There seemed to be a lack of some rules to organize and integrate them. Everything was scattered and of little use, which made Jiang Yuebai distressed.
Jiang Yuebai patted her head, feeling a little dizzy. This was the aftereffect of her forceful use of the space restriction today.
This restriction is still too strong. With her current spiritual strength, she needs to rest for about a month after using it once. It can only be used as a killer weapon in critical moments.
"This time when we go out, let's send Niankong to the King Kong Platform."
Last year, the master had already sent a message to Vajra Platform. Buddha Wuchen knew the whole story and expressed his willingness to accept Niankong as his disciple. He also promised that after Niankong formed the elixir, Vajra Platform would rebuild the Prajna Temple in Liusha Region.
She may not be able to see the day when Prajna Temple is rebuilt. Ruosheng may be dissatisfied with Wuchen's help if things have turned out like this, but this is already the best choice for Prajna Temple to continue to exist.
After all, people are selfish. She did not deny that she did this in order not to tie herself to this matter. Just like her mother taught her when she was young, she should put herself first in everything, satisfy herself first, and then help others when she has spare capacity. Only then can her thoughts be clear and she will have no complaints.
A beam of light flew in from the window; it was her master calling her.
Jiang Yuebai stretched his muscles and stood up, then went to the top of Tianku Peak to find his master. When he walked outside the temple, he saw Shi Xiaowu coming out sighing, holding a stack of papers.
"What's going on?"
Shi Xiaowu held the paper in front of Jiang Yuebai and clapped his hands twice, "Big Sister, what should I do with Master? I got half of the 100 questions wrong. I want to cry."
Shi Xiaowu has already learned most of the "Dayan Suanjing", Jiang Yuebai's progress is slightly behind, and Li Jiuchuan has just started.
Jiang Yuebai raised his hand to hit him, "Master has a good temper, don't go too far and bully Master, or I won't forgive you."
Shi Xiaowu retreated, "I don't have it and I don't dare, Senior Sister. I know that Master is good to me, I'm just worried that I can't find a good way to teach Master."
"That's good enough. Don't push the master too hard. Occasionally find an excuse to practice on your own for a while so that the master can relax and take it slow."
"knew."
"Okay, you can go now. You should focus on cultivation now. You must hurry up and form a pill as soon as possible, or your master will have to watch you die and not be able to do anything about it."
Watching Shi Xiaowu walk away, Jiang Yuebai walked to the back of the hall.
As soon as he stepped into the master's study, Jiang Yuebai saw that his master seemed to have some discomfort in his eyes. He tilted his head and coughed before returning to normal.
"Are you planning to leave the sect and travel again?" Li Jiuchuan asked.
Jiang Yuebai smiled, "Master, how did you know?"
"Master, I know you a little bit. After the Lotus Platform Offering, I have some insights recently, so I want to give you something."
Jiang Yuebai hurriedly offered up his lotus platform, and Li Jiuchuan also released his glazed tower.
As soon as the glazed tower came out, it headed straight for the lotus platform. Li Jiuchuan stretched out his hand to grab it but found nothing. He pretended to cough awkwardly, frowned, and used his spiritual sense to pull the glazed tower back.
But there was a tower spirit in his glazed tower, which was pulled by the divine consciousness and rushed towards the lotus platform. The tower body was shining brightly, not reserved at all.
Jiang Yuebai found it funny, "Master, the character of this Liuli Tower is nothing like you."
Li Jiuchuan had a helpless look on his face as he cast several spells in succession, drawing out five-colored light from the glazed tower and injecting it into Jiang Yuebai's lotus pedestal.
The lotus platform shook violently, and the ten-acre square land of the cave world experienced the change of seasons at an extremely fast speed.
"This is the rule of the four seasons that I have comprehended. It can give your cave world a framework. You only need to fill it with the spiritual energy differentiated by all things in the world according to the four seasons."
"When the spiritual energy of each path accumulates to a certain level, and your understanding of the rules of the four seasons' creatures reaches a certain level, your cave world will stabilize and become a secret realm that your body can enter."
Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed, this was exactly what she needed!
