Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This old man who introduced himself as Sima Zhen was at least at the middle stage of the Incarnation Realm.
Within the Shangguan Family, there were some more existences who were on par with him!
According to Shangguan Qingyun, there were even old monsters who had been in seclusion for a long time in the sect. They might have already reached the Fusion Realm!
If he started cultivating in seclusion now, even if he could already refine third-grade pills like the Juqi pill, he might not be able to contend against them!
Since coming to this world, it was the first time Jiang Yiming, who had the system with him, felt such a strong sense of danger.
“Master,” While he was deep in thought, Shangguan Qingyun had already come to his side.
“If ‘m not wrong, those from the Shangguan Family must have come looking for me, right?” Although Shangguan Qingyun’s meridians were all broken, and his cultivation was ruined, his ability to read people was also extraordinary.
He was the son of the first wife of a great family, but to think he had been forced to learn how to read people.
Jiang Yiming could not help but feel his heart ache for him.
“Thave already gained a lot from what Master taught me yesterday. I, Shangguan, will never forget the kindness of your education! However, I’m afraid that I can’t continue this master-disciple relationship with you!” As Shangguan Qingyun said this, he abruptly knelt, “I’m very sorry, but I may have to
leave this world ahead of you!”
“Don’t say such unfilial words again,” Jiang Yiming chuckled and helped Shangguan Qingyun up.
“But Master…”
“You’re my disciple, a member of Lingyun Sect! Since you’ve joined my sect, I’ll ensure your safety. Because of your nonsense, I’ll punish you such that you must cultivate for three days without rest! Do you understand?”
“… Yes! I will go now!” Shangguan Qingyun gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
‘As he watched Shangguan Qingyun leave, a familiar voice sounded in his mind!
[Ding! Mission triggered!)
[ Notification] Mission Type: Main storyline
[Notification] Mission Name: Saint’s remains
[Notification] Mission Requirements: Follow the map to find the Saint’s remains and obtain the treasures within it. Then, leave the place in one piece after comprehending the opportunity! The mission tool, the map, has been distributed to your backpack! Please check to see you have received it!
[Notification] Mission Reward: Dragon-seeking Ruler
His main mission had finally arrived!
The mission made Jiang Yiming even more excited!
In this vast land, who knew how many experts had been born and how many had fallen!
If he could find the place where they hid their remains, God knows how many treasures he would be able to obtain!
The mission this time would probably enable him to find the remains of an expert who was at least at the Incarnation Realm or above!
Even if these experts’ lifespans had run out and they had been unable to increase their lifespans, their remaining spiritual energy would still build a barrier around the place where they had fallen!
Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to find the places where the remains were. Even if they were lucky enough to have found one such place, they would only have a slim chance of surviving upon entering!
Every time the spiritual energy left in the remains dissipated, it would inevitably cause a lot of disputes.
Looking at the mission notification given by the system, it was likely that this was a place that had yet to be explored!
Jiang Yiming became increasingly excited. If he could find the supreme treasure within, then not only would he be able to break through his current realm, even challenging someone of a higher realm wouldn’t be a problem!
As for the Dragon-seeking Ruler, it could help him detect the aura and spirits of supreme magical treasures.
With the Dragon-seeking Ruler, wouldn’t all the hidden secret treasures in the world belong to him?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming, who had been quite solemn just now, actually laughed out loud.
Indeed, there was always a way!
“Master? What’s wrong? Did something good happen again? Tell me!” Seeing her Master’s delighted expression, Huang Chaoyu scooted to Jiang Yiming’s side and asked sneakily.
“Xiaoyu! Do I have to inform you of everything I do?” Jiang Yiming laughed. Time was of the essence at this moment, and there was no time to lose. He had to quickly arrange the internal affairs of the sect and set off!
“Lam going out for a trip. If there is anything urgent, use the Thousand Miles Same Wind to transmit your message over.”
Jiang Yiming calmed his heart and entered the array. He poured his spiritual energy into the Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array.
With this, even if anyone came to attack again, with the sect protection array that he had formed as the basis, added with the defensive abilities of his disciples, they should be able to hold out for a while even if they were to face an attack from an Incarnation Realm cultivator!
It would also be enough for him to return then.
“All of you, come over. Let me circulate your qi one more time,” Jiang Yiming opened his eyes and called his disciples over after sensing that the Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array had gained more vitality.
“Master, how long will it take for you to return from this trip?”
Not only did the sect protection array have both offensive and defensive abilities, but it could also absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.
As such, his disciples had made rapid progress while cultivating in the array!
As for Shangguan Qingyun, in just one night, he had already repaired more than half of his meridians!
After completely restoring his meridians, he could then proceed to the most crucial step: Connecting his meridians!
At that time, Shangguan Qingyun’s spiritual energy would no longer be trapped in the non-continuous meridians and could circulate in his body!
How fast would his cultivation speed be then?
Jiang Yiming nodded with a smile. He had indeed taken in various geniuses, kudos to himself!
“Phew, none of you have disappointed me. Although the Juqi pill is effective, remember not to take it carelessly. It’s all prepared in the medicine pavilion. Also, the Hunyuan pill is extremely overbearing. If not in a situation of life and death, you must not take it!”
“Oh right, Master, when you return from this trip, will I be able to…” Gu Lingfei’s face was filled with anxiety as he anxiously asked.
Ye Yunfan and Huang Chaoyu had already obtained personalized cultivation techniques that Jiang Yiming had imparted to them. He was the eldest disciple, yet he was still practicing his old set of cultivation techniques.
“Relax! When I return from this trip, I won’t mistreat you!”
‘There were not many disciples in the sect. After giving a brief reminder of everything, Jiang Yiming turned around and left the sect.
Looking at the directions on the map, there was still a long way to go.
He might as well buy a pot of wine to quench his thirst in the market near the sect.
Jiang Yiming walked to the wine shop and looked around casually.
“Hello, sir! What would you like? This shop has been passed down to me for three generations! The wine here is definitely top-grade!”
“Hm, anything is fine. Give me a pot of the best wine.”
The shop owner had carried out the business for many years and had seen many customers.
‘The customer before him was dressed in plain clothes but was secretly surrounded by a celestial aura. As such, the boss determined he must be an unaffiliated cultivator who happened to pass by on his travels.
“Sir, you have good taste! The Drunk Drop is the best in my shop!”
A pot of wine was placed in front of Jiang Yiming. The wine was mellow. He didn’t expect that there would be such fine-quality wine in this small shop.
Jiang Yiming lined up a row of spirit stones. To him, spirit stones were just numbers. He could just spend as much as he needed.
