With the protection of the two immortal items, Ye Chen felt that his ego was a little inflated.
One sword attack could shatter a spirit item.
One could keep the body unharmed after a sword attack.
Ye Chen really wanted to walk out of the sect and shout, “Who else is my match?!”
However, there was no need to do such a meaningless thing.
Keeping a low profile was the only way to stabilize his growth.
With a wave of his hand, the Holy Spirit armor covered his body, absorbing all the light in the sky.
Ye Chen suddenly sensed a huge amount of spirit power coming from the armor. It poured into his energy centers continuously and complemented the Great Development System.
The next moment, his cultivation speed went up a level!
Awesome!
Ye Chen also found out that the Holy Spirit could even transform into ordinary clothes, making it so that no one would be able to tell that it was an extremely rare immortal item.
“Not bad!”
Ye Chen was incredibly satisfied. He then tied the Seven Extremes Sword to his waist, looking just like an immortal swordsman in that province.
“There’s also the Holy Enlightenment Spring…”
Ye Chen opened the sect’s interface. After some thought, he placed it in the square on Dragon Head Peak.
However, he was not in a hurry to drink from it. Something like that, which could only be drunk once in a lifetime, naturally had to wait till the end.
He would talk about it once he had cultivated to the Body Departure Realm!
“Let me see how Gong Lingyun has been doing these past few days.”
He then opened his disciple’s personal interface.
Name: Gong Lingyun
Identity: Servant disciple
Bone Age: 16
Aptitude: Excellent
Personality: Resolute
Cultivation: Mid Qi Refining Realm
Constitution: Supreme-Being Bone (already plundered)
Luck: 30,100
Sect Contribution: 765
Loyalty: 85
…
Compared with before, there was a lot more information.
Apart from the attribute panel, there was also a summary of what Gong Lingyun had done over the last several days.
In general, her daily activities consisted of training, mining, handing in missions, mining, and sleeping.
It was worth mentioning that Gong Lingyun’s training time in a day was extremely short. Instead, mining had become her main hustle in the day.
Out of twelve hours, she had spent almost eight hours mining for spirit stones.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled triumphantly.
He could have originally given Gong Lingyun the cultivation method and let her train on her own.
With her talent, her progress would definitely be speedy.
However, on second thought, if he gave it to her just like that, would it not be too easy for her?
Why not let her choose which one to use as her fundamental cultivation method? It would be up to her to decide.
That way, her sense of belonging to the Grand Mystery Sect would also increase, and she would be willing to work for the sect.
Besides, the sect was currently lacking manpower and material reserves in various places anyway.
Gong Lingyun was such a good labor force; it would be a pity if she was not put to use!
It was just the right time to make the best use of everything, and everyone was doing their best.
Initially, he had not expected her to cultivate to defend against external enemies.
If she could not even defend against the mountain’s defense array, how big of a help would she be?
However, seeing that Gong Lingyun was working hard in the direction he had in mind, he was finally relieved.
Ding!
“After the sect sensed that there was only one disciple, it became very anxious. It has taken the initiative to send you another disciple with a lot of luck.
“Click on the disciple’s details tab, and you will receive a disciple with plenty of luck.”
The system’s mechanical voice suddenly rang out in Ye Chen’s mind.
“Huh? I’m given a pillow just as I’m about to fall asleep?
“You know me too well, don’t you?
“It makes me feel a little embarrassed.”
As Ye Chen said that, he tapped on the details of his disciple without any hesitation.
…
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away from the Grand Mystery Sect…
In the depths of a mountain, a young man with a delicate face was processing the corpse of a strange beast.
He had a tired look on his face, and it was obvious that he had been in a long battle. Nevertheless, his expression remained vigilant.
The young man’s name was Xiao Huohuo, and he was doing his best to raise his strength.
“Thirty years to the east, thirty years to the west… No! Not thirty years, three years! I’ll definitely repay you double for the humiliation I suffered when you broke off the engagement!”
At that moment, the ring on his hand glowed faintly.
Then, a clear and cold voice like that of a silver bell rang in the young man’s mind.
“The thing is, consuming the blood of these strange beasts won’t help you improve much.
“Each time, you end using all your strength to train yourself. This is a stupid way to temper your body.”
Xiao Huohuo laughed bitterly. “Senior, there’s nothing I can do…
“The Xiao clan has no place for me. The Murong clan even sees me as a thorn in their side. No cultivation sect dares to take me in. Without a cultivation technique, I can’t even meditate and cultivate.”
There was a ripple from the ring before a woman’s voice sounded.
“Although you can cultivate again, it’s a pity that the cultivation technique in my hand is only suitable for women. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be in this predicament.”
“Senior, you have saved me several times, and that is already a great favor. Don’t blame yourself.”
“Why don’t you continue to cultivate using the Xiao clan’s cultivation technique?”
“I’ve already left the Xiao clan! I have nothing to do with them anymore!”
The cold-looking woman fell silent. For a moment, Xiao Huohuo also sighed.
After a while, the woman’s cold voice could be heard once again.
“If I remember correctly, there are many small sects twenty thousand miles south of here. They have been fighting each other all year round, and it’s been very chaotic.
“You can go there without exposing your identity and join a sect to cultivate temporarily.”
Hearing this, Xiao Huohuo’s eyes lit up.
It seemed feasible.
It was best to hide one’s identity in a chaotic place. Since those people were so far away, no one might recognize him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he dashed forward.
…
Xiao Huohuo used up all of his spirit stones to get there via a teleportation formation, and two days later, he arrived at the foot of Mount Taixuan.
Just like Gong Lingyun, the stone tablet also detected him.
However, two voices sounded in succession.
“You will be allowed to enter once you pass the test. You will then inherit the Grand Mystery Sect’s teachings.”
“Incomplete spirit, retreat quickly!”
The Grand Mystery Sect’s mountain gate appeared, towering into the clouds. It looked like the gate of a heavenly realm and was extremely magnificent.
“Huh?” the voice from the ring lightly exclaimed.
“This thing managed to detect me?”
Following that, the remnant soul of the woman glanced at the stone tablet.
She could not see through it.
Xiao Huohuo was stunned. “What should we do?”
“Ignore it. I have seen all kinds of things. What can a mere stone tablet do to me?”
Her words were very imposing, and she seemed extremely domineering.
However, the moment Xiao Huohuo walked through the mountain gate, he was sent flying by an incomparably powerful force. He immediately choked.
“Cough…”
Xiao Huohuo spat out a mouthful of blood and covered his chest in pain. “Senior, what’s going on? Are you sure this is a small sect…”
Holy sh*t!
Xiao Huohuo felt as if ten thousand alpacas1 had galloped through his heart.
He had seen at least eight hundred sects before, but he had never seen a sect that could seriously injure him with a stone tablet!
To be more precise, he was under the protection of the remnant soul of a woman!
Through their daily conversations, Xiao Huohuo had vaguely guessed that the female immortal in the ring was a cultivator from a big place. She was knowledgeable and powerful.
To seriously injure him under her protection was definitely not something a small sect could do.
The ring did not respond.
When the remnant soul of the woman felt the stone tablet’s aura, she had already countered it.
However, she did not expect to be crushed unilaterally.
She was already in a much weaker state and was now even worse off. After being hit by that attack, her soul almost scattered.
“How is this possible…”
The remnant soul of the woman was filled with fear.
Such deterrence would only found in immortal magic treasures.
Could the seemingly ordinary stone tablet be an immortal magic treasure?
It was completely illogical!
