Chapter 27 Coming Out
Immortal Wood City, Chaohui Sect.
A black-clad cultivator hurriedly ran into the side hall of the Chaohui Sect and entered the most exquisite courtyard. The ground of the courtyard was covered with large, neatly carved earth spirit stones.
The black-clad cultivator trotted to the door on the earthen stone slabs. Before he could knock, a lazy male voice came from inside: "Come in."
The black-clad monk pushed open the door and hurriedly stepped inside, bowing deeply and saying, "This subordinate greets the Hall Master."
Jiang Ming sat casually on the couch, glancing at him nonchalantly: "What is it?"
The black-clad cultivator said, "Reporting to the Hall Master, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred at the foot of Minshan Mountain within the territory of Jizhou today. According to the disciples stationed in Jizhou, at this time, dark clouds covered the foot of Minshan Mountain, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and then clouds and golden light appeared, as if a rare treasure had been born!"
The world of cultivation has eighteen two-hour periods each day, starting from the first light of dawn: Xiao Shi, Chen Shi, Xi Shi, You Shi, Mang Shi, Wu Shi, Chu Shi, Huo Shi, Xiu Shi, Mu Shi, Ji Shi, Meng Shi, Yan Shi, Fu Shi, Zhou Shi, Huo Shi, Chu Shi, Qi Shi.
"Lightning flashed and thunder roared, clouds filled the sky..." Jiang Ming murmured.
Jiang Ming is Jiang Ye's biological son, and he knows all about Jiang Ye's use of the Spirit Awakening Seal and the Spirit Exchange Secret Technique.
Every time Jiang Ye used the Spirit Awakening Seal to force cultivators to make sacrifices, he set up a restriction.
Jiang Ming had never seen any unusual phenomena caused by the Spirit Awakening Seal, but he had heard his father talk about them.
“It must be Zong Changheng!” Jiang Ming said with certainty.
Jiang Ming stood up and walked to the black-clad cultivator, asking, "Have you sent any disciples to investigate?"
The black-clad cultivator replied, "Reporting to the Hall Master, the disciples stationed here discovered the anomaly today and immediately sent a message to me. Li Xu has already led his disciples to investigate, but there has been no reply yet."
"Once you receive a reply, report it to me immediately." Jiang Ming instructed, "Set up checkpoints at all the city gates of Jeju, and do not let any suspicious items slip by."
"Your subordinate obeys." The black-clad cultivator acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Jiang Ming returned to the long couch and sat down, taking out a beautifully crafted jade pendant and stroking and playing with it in his hands.
He had been stuck in Rongzhou for too long and wanted to return to the True God Sect...
……
Jeju is a beautiful province with clear waters and lush mountains. In the southeast of Jeju, there is a county called Wuqiao County, which has beautiful scenery and is famous for its black wormwood.
Usnea is a native plant that grows in large patches and flowers and fruits all year round, but this plant only grows within the territory of Usnea County.
The fruit of the black thorn is a material for refining many mid-grade spiritual pills, such as the mid-grade Spirit Recovery Pill, the mid-grade Spirit Strengthening Pill, the mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill, and so on.
The flowers of the black thorn are light purple, with three petals clustered together. The edges of the petals are slightly curled, and the fragrance is delicate and pleasant.
Wuqiao County is covered with vast fields of black thorn flowers all year round. As soon as you enter Wuqiao County, you are greeted by endless purple flower fields.
Because of the beautiful flower fields in Wuqiao County and the abundant production of Wuqiao fruit, visitors flock to Wuqiao County, so much so that there are visitors all over Jeju Island throughout the year.
Heading northeast from the foot of Minshan Mountain, passing through two villages, you'll find Xizhen. Thanks to Wuqiao County, this small town also has two guesthouses.
Ordinary residents of the Immortal Clan's territory are not allowed to open guesthouses privately. All guesthouses are under the True God Sect, and disciples from affiliated sects in various regions are assigned to guard and manage them.
Compared to the demons and monsters, the immortals, who are controlled by the True God Sect, have extremely complicated rules.
In Shen Yao's words, this is a typical case of an incompetent person having too many rules.
The shortest route from the foot of Minshan Mountain to Fenzhou is to head northeast into Xizhen, then from Xizhen to Zhouxian, and then along the Minxi River to a tributary of Zhouxian, directly into Fenzhou.
Shen Yao and Xianyu are heading to Xi Town.
The immortal and the demon flew together, and Shen Yao's divine spirit return technique had reached its peak, allowing her to fly continuously.
However, the salted fish's spiritual power could not withstand such consumption, and it was forced to land and walk after leaving the second village.
Xianyu put away his magical treasure and asked Shen Yao, "You don't have a magical treasure, so why were you able to fly for so long?"
Shen Yao replied, "I obtained the divine-level spirit-restoring technique of the Spectral Immortal Venerable within the Spirit Awakening Seal."
The salted fish looked on with envy.
Shen Yao: "I don't know if you can use it. I'll teach you when we get to Xizhen."
"You're so kind! You're the best female immortal in the world!" the salted fish said, touching the colorful scales on her neck and pulling out a handbag.
The handbag is about the size of two palms and is very exquisite. I don't know what material it is made of, but the weave is very tight.
The pattern on the handbag is very similar to the Xilankapu that Shen Yao saw in a minority autonomous region during a business trip on Earth in her previous life.
The place she was on a business trip was opposite a scenic spot, and there were many Xilankapu bags in the vicinity, big and small, all kinds of styles.
She was captivated by the pattern when she first saw it. Always frugal, she hesitated for a long time but still spent thirty-eight yuan to buy a small bag.
Xianyu handed her the bag: "This is the stem of a silk grass, woven with bubble flower dye. Your spirit insect is so big, it's inconvenient to carry it on your shoulder. You can keep it in the bag from now on."
The salted fish then said to the golden beetle, "Little spirit beetle, the silk grass is very soft, and the bag woven from it is very comfortable. You won't feel wronged living inside."
The golden beetle ignored her: What little spirit insect? This sect master is now the number one spirit beast in the world, the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle!
Salty Fish had only seen the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle statue on the Spirit Awakening Seal. Although he later saw the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle phantom, those were all the mature forms of the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle.
Even a salted fish doesn't know the names of the mythical beasts on the statues.
The sect leader is still in the youthful form of the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, which is quite different from the statue.
Shen Yao slung her handbag over her shoulder, and the golden beetle immediately crawled inside.
A fairy, a demon, and an insect finally arrived in Xi Town before the time of death.
……
At the foot of Minshan Mountain, there is a wooden house by a clear pool.
There are no wooden houses left, only wood ash.
When the disciples of the Chaohui Sect who came to investigate arrived at the center of the celestial anomaly, they only saw a pile of uneaten Zhaodi bones and a burned-down residence.
There was also a dusty, gray stove.
When Shen Yao left, she set another fire, knowing that the unusual celestial phenomena would attract the attention of the True God Sect.
Using the wooden house as a boundary, the salted fish used its water spiritual power to create a fire-avoiding circle, and then burned the wooden house to the ground.
When he left, he deliberately left the partially gnawed Emperor Zhao bone on the ground, intending to disgust the cultivators who came to investigate.
Therefore, when eating the flesh of Emperor Zhao, he deliberately gnawed the bones until they were mushy and disgusting, along with salted fish.
The black-clad cultivator, Wang Xu, who was also Jiang Ming's leader of followers, was now kneeling before Jiang Ming, enduring his wrath.
"Useless!" Jiang Ming roared in fury, "A complete bunch of useless trash!"
"It's been over six years, and we've only found a clue!" Jiang Ming roared at Wang Xu, "And they got away!"
Wang Xu knelt even lower, not daring to utter a sound.
"Besides a pile of ashes, there's nothing else?" Jiang Ming wished he could kick Wang Xu to death.
Wang Xu trembled as he reported, "Reporting to the Hall Master, besides the ashes, there was only a pile of ill-gnawed Emperor Zhao bones and a stove made of earth spirit stone that was still intact..."
Jiang Ming finally couldn't hold back and kicked out.
Wang Xu nearly lost his life, and trembling with pain, he said, "Hall Master, please calm down..."
"It must be Zong Changheng!" Jiang Ming, who had been kicking out in anger, finally felt a little better.
“It must be that coward Zong Changheng!” Jiang Ming gritted his teeth and said, “That coward Zong Changheng is used to setting fire to houses and destroying his whereabouts.”
He then yelled at Wang Xu, "Get out and keep looking!"
"Yes, Master!" Wang Xu felt as if he had been granted a pardon and scrambled back.
