Chapter 46: Widespread Excitement
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hey, let me tell you guys! According to the latest news that I learned, the Lingyun Sect’s sect leader is no ordinary person. The truth is, he caught the eye of some old monster!”
“What you said makes more sense. Wasn’t Lingyun Sect just a small faction previously? That sect leader of theirs was even injured by the Huoyun Sect not long ago. How could he become so powerful in such a short time?”
“Tsk, I wonder how many good things he has in his hands! I heard that his disciples have obtained all kinds of extremely powerful cultivation techniques. How blessed are these people to have become a disciple of the Lingyun sect!”
“Sigh, even if one wants to join an ordinary sect, one’s talent in cultivation is still very important. For someone like me, there’s no need for wishful thinking!”
Ye Yunfan and Huang Zhaoyu stood gazing at each other, at a loss for what to do. Only now did they discover that yesterday’s incident had such a huge impact.
“Junior sister, it’s best that we don’t stay any longer. Right now, Master is still waiting for the medicinal ingredients to refine pills. Let’s hurry up and buy the medicinal ingredients and return immediately.”
Just as the two of them were engrossed in listening to these rumors, Ye Yunfan pulled on Huang Chaoyu’s sleeve and gestured for them to hurry up and finish what their Master had instructed them to do.
“shopkeeper, we want all the medicinal ingredients on this list,” The two of them walked to a medicinal ingredients shop and handed over the pill recipe list.
The shopkeeper, an old man, stood up. After skimming through the pill recipe, he raised his head in surprise and said, “This pill recipe is not simple! Where did you two come from?”
Ye Yunfan frowned. The news about the sect was spreading like wildfire. If he revealed his identity at this time, it would probably bring unnecessary trouble.
“We’re just unaffiliated cultivators from nowhere. We are only here due to request.”
“Heh, it’s alright, it’s alright. The rules of the martial world are such that we’re not supposed to question our customers when doing business. I’ve asked too much! That being said, the medicinal ingredients listed on your pill recipe are all needed for third-grade pills! In the Divine Phoenix Region, only a
few pill refiners and sects have the ability to refine third-grade pills. For you to have come to me for such medicinal ingredients, it is my honor!” The shopkeeper laughed and turned around to prepare the medicinal ingredients.
In the medicine pavilion of Lingyun Sect.
The pill refining method was not only extremely testing for one’s patience, but it was also extremely testing for the pill refiner’s control over one’s spiritual energy and one’s cultivation realm.
After all, it required an unceasing amount of spiritual energy to be poured into the cauldron. If the pill refiner was only in the Core Formation or Foundation Establishment realm, the spiritual energy in one’s body would be completely exhausted within two hours.
Even Jiang Yiming, who had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, was finding it slightly impossible to continue after having refined pills for such a long time.
It seemed that he needed to rest for a while.
If his spiritual energy was unstable, continuing to refine pills would only be a waste of medicinal ingredients.
Jiang Yiming had just walked out of the medicine pavilion when he saw Ye Yunfan and Huang Chaoyu enter the sect gates.
“Master! Master! You’re finally out! You don’t know this, but the market down the mountains is full of rumors about the Lingyun Sect!”
“Oh?” Jiang Yiming raised his eyebrows. After the battle yesterday, he had merely taken a short break before directly entering the medicine pavilion. He hadn’t considered the possibility of rumors.
It made sense, though. After all, he had directly killed an Incarnation Realm cultivator yesterday, even though the other party should have just entered the Incarnation Realm not long ago and his foundation was still wobbly.
In this world, there was probably no one else who could challenge an Incarnation Realm cultivator while only being in the Nascent Soul Realm.
“Master! Almost everyone wants to join our sect now! Our sect might be able to recover to its former prosperity very soon!”
Recover to its former prosperity?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiming lowered his head and started pondering.
He had already exterminated all the elites of Huoyun Sect, a third rank sect, yesterday.
With the help of the system, the main hall, the medicine pavilion, and the sect protection formation were all in place.
Other than their numbers being small, the Lingyun Sect was definitely not the down and out fifth rank sect it had been back then!
However, right now, his top priority was to help his disciples raise their strength as soon as possible. If his disciples could all reach the Nascent Soul Realm, then they could be considered to have graduated from his tutelage!
It would not be too late to take in disciples after that happened.
“There’s no rush. If our foundation is not stable and we just pursue speed, it will only backfire,” Jiang Yiming smiled and sat cross-legged in the sect protection array.
With his breathing, the spiritual energy he had consumed while refining pills was recovered rapidly.
“Master! Someone is here to see you,” Shangguan Qingyun’s voice came through.
“If he’s here to join the sect, ask him to leave. I will not be taking in any disciples in the recent days.”
“It’s an old man who says he’s the Imperial Advisor of the Divine Phoenix Empire.”
Jiang Yiming frowned. If that was so, the person here should be Huang Tianchi that he had just met not long ago.
Could it be that he was here to discuss the matter of bringing Huang Chaoyu back to the palace again?
They couldn’t possibly be clueless to what had just happened here yesterday. After all, the Divine Phoenix Empire was just a third rank force like the Huoyun Sect.
“Tell him that Huang Chaoyu doesn’t want to go back and ask him to leave!”
“Master! He said that he isn’t here for the Princess’ matters today. He has other important matters to discuss with you.”
Oh? Other important matters?
“Let him in then,” Jiang Yiming nodded, indicating for Shangguan Qingyun to allow the guest to enter.
Jiang Yiming was meditating in the array. When he felt the Nascent Soul aura approaching, he said slowly, “Welcome, Imperial Advisor. Sorry for not being very welcoming, It’s just that I’ve already made it very clear last time. Xiaoyu is my disciple, and no one can bypass me to force her to do something
she isn’t willing to do.”
Since the other party had made it clear that he wasn’t here to ask for Huang Zhaoyu, his intentions were then an open secret.
“Thave already reported the Princess’ situation to the Emperor when I returned. Although the Emperor misses his daughter dearly, he is also aware that the Princess has made some progress here, so he did not bring this matter up agai
“Oh? Then are you only here to check on Xiaoyu’s situation? If that’s so, there’s no need to be in a hurry to leave. There’s no harm in staying for a few more days.”
The Imperial Advisor was clearly here to be a lobbyist. Now that Huoyun Sect had basically been destroyed and directly fallen to be a fifth rank force, the Lingyun Sect could just replace the Huoyun Sect!
The Divine Phoenix Empire’s plan was pretty good. If they could use Xiaoyu as the key for them to have closer ties, and take advantage of the fact that the Lingyun Sect had yet to take in a large number of disciples to place people from the Divine Phoenix Empire in the Lingyun Sect under the pretense of
helping him, they could kill two birds with one stone!
Not only could it strengthen the Divine Phoenix Empire’s power, but it could also secretly suppress the Lingyun Sect.
Jiang Yiming smiled lightly. It all depended on how Huang Tianchi was going to say it.
