Chapter 199: Genius Li Jiao
The elders stared at w.a.n.g Qian’an’s figure with flickering eyes.
They stared like this for another day and night.
w.a.n.g Qian’an’s figure didn’t move, and the elders didn’t even blink.
If it really was the Mystic Void sword method…
The elders didn’t dare to think further. This not only meant that their Xuantian sect would have an additional set of divine abilities, but it also meant that their sect still had a patriarch alive.
This patriarch had also probably reached the legendary stage.
It was very likely that he was the senior of Patriarch Ten Thousand Swords.
The senior of Patriarch Ten Thousand Swords!
What era was that person from?
If such a person could live until now, how high of a cultivation level would he need to be able to do so?
One finger would probably be enough to kill the current demon patriarch!
If that was the case, the Xuantian sect would definitely rise again.
And the status and resources of these elders in the Tianyao region would definitely rise.
At the thought of this, the elders stared at w.a.n.g Qian’an like an old man staring at a seductive beauty.
A few of the elders were almost drooling.
“Elders, don’t you have your own matters to attend to? What are you waiting here for?”
Bai Zhijing said.
“Something’s up!”
One of the elders came to a realization. The couple was loving each other, so it was inappropriate for them to be third-wheel here.
They hurriedly left.
The other elders also followed behind.
Although their figures left, their spiritual senses had always been on the back mountain.
“Yiyi, are you alright too?”
Bai Zhijing turned around and glanced at Yun Yiyi.
“Oh! That… Master…”
Yun Yiyi turned around, her footsteps hesitant.
The Mystic Void Sword method!
Was this real or fake?
“Since the mystic void sword method was pa.s.sed down to you by that senior, you should cultivate it well.”
“Yes!”
Yun Yiyi was pleasantly surprised.
Since her master wanted him to cultivate it, there was no need to doubt that this sword art was real.
The Mystic Void Sword method!
It belonged to Patriarch Ten Thousand Swords.
Patriarch Ten Thousand Swords suppressed an era and dominated the continent for many years.
The Mystic Void Sword method was the most terrifying Abhijna of that era.
If she cultivated such an Abhijna, wouldn’t she be…
The most important one was the hidden ancestor.
The Xuantian sect was about to rise once again.
When they returned to the foot of the mountain, the group of disciples had already completed their selection.
At this moment, Yun Yiyi suddenly thought of Li Jiao.
On the bed, Li Jiao’s torn meridians were being reconstructed.
Her body was already numb to the pain.
As her meridians recovered, a tingling sensation began to appear in her body.
She could not scratch or touch the area with the sensation. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Li Jiao wished she could use a knife to separate her body.
When Yun Yiyi found Li Jiao, the tingling sensation had just pa.s.sed.
Li Jiao, who had been struggling for a few days, fell asleep at this moment.
“How lazy. No wonder it’s only the day after tomorrow at thirteen. I don’t think we can get enough resources from the family, we don’t have enough cultivation techniques, and we’re only getting lazier.”
Seeing Li Jiao sleeping soundly on the bed, Yun Yiyi rolled her eyes.
She wanted to wake Li Jiao up, but she didn’t know what to do with her now?
Just wait!
He would give her a good lesson in a few days.
He wanted to see if she was the genius that the old ancestor had mentioned.
Then, he went down the mountain to arrange the accommodations for the disciples that pa.s.sed.
When Li Jiao woke up, new disciples were already living in the surrounding rooms.
In the ruined temple at the back of the mountain.
Another day, Li Mu opened his eyes.
His figure flashed around the Xuantian sect and he checked in.
He returned to the ruined temple and sorted out what he had gotten from checking in for that day.
A small portion of the medicinal pills, some cultivation techniques, and a couple of secret manuals.
The occasional cultivation technique reward was around four to five hundred years old.
Li Mu shook his head.
These rewards were not enough.
If he were to face the Roc clan, it would not be enough for a day’s consumption.
He had suffered such a huge loss last time. This time, he definitely could not repeat the same mistake.
The sword formation that was left in the small city had not been activated. This meant that Liu Xiu and Xu Fang were still safe.
“Let’s acc.u.mulate more for a period of time!”
There was no other good place to check-in in the surroundings.
Surviving in a place like the Land of Demon Slayers was completely based on luck.
Moreover, Li Mu was quite curious about what rewards he would receive if he checked in on the forbidden grounds of the Xuantian sect.
Needless to say, the rewards would definitely not be small.
He lazily stretched his back.
His spiritual sense swept down the mountain.
“Hey! I didn’t expect this person in my family to really take the pills. If she can endure this kind of pain, the road ahead for her will be much easier.”
Seeing Li Jiao sound asleep, Li Mu nodded.
He had also suffered a lot back then.
The first time he took a marrow cleansing pill, it had tormented him for an entire night.
Later on, before ever taking this kind of pill again, he would make full preparations.
However each time, he would still suffer a lot.
Li Jiao actually listened to him and took all three pills in two days.
Li Mu was so impressed that he prostrated himself on the ground.
In the end, his divine consciousness landed on w.a.n.g Qian’an and Bai Zhijing, who were not far away.
He did not interfere with w.a.n.g Qian’an’s comprehension.
He lay in the ruined temple, circulating his technique and immersing himself in cultivation.
Time pa.s.sed by very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, three months had pa.s.sed again.
Li Mu’s cultivation had stabilized.
On the back mountain, w.a.n.g Qian’an was still standing there!
In the sky above the back mountain of the Xuantian sect, a trace of sword will would flash by from time to time.
The elders of the sect also came to visit from time to time.
After every visit, the Elders’ expressions were even more joyful than the last time.
Ten thousand miles away, in the territory of the demon race.
“Is there really an old demon that hasn’t appeared in the world in the Xuantian Sect?”
“Humph! What old demon can live until now? I don’t believe it!”
“The Xuantian sect is a large ancient sect. It’s normal for them to have some trump cards that you and I won’t be able to deal with. They can even get something as miraculous as the demon-slaying land out. It’s also possible for them to bury themselves in the ground and live up to a hundred thousand lives.”
“Hiss… Fortunately, we didn’t make a move back then.”
“Check the situation again. Inform the surrounding orcs not to provoke the Xuantian sect for the time being. If they get killed, we won’t care about them.”
..
Another month pa.s.sed.
Li Jiao successfully entered the sect and her cultivation also inexplicably broke through to the Higher Heaven realm.
Suddenly, Li Jiao realized that it was not difficult to cultivate after entering the sect.
As long as she cultivated, she would be able to see the results very quickly.
Breaking through to the Higher Heaven realm was as easy as eating and drinking for her.
After that, she inexplicably stepped into the second level of the Higher Heaven realm.
Then the third level.
Then the fourth.
Before she even knew it, she had already become a fifth-level Higher Heaven realm martial artist.
The speed of her improvement shocked Yun Yiyi.
“She is really a genius! We almost buried a genius. Go and report to Master!”
On the mountain, Bai Zhijing finished listening to Yun Yiyi’s report.
“Alright, since she’s a genius, it proves that this patriarch has a sharp eye. Bring her to me some other day. If there’s no problem with the patriarch, I’ll take her in as a disciple.”
“Yes, Master.”
After Yun Yiyi left.
Bai Zhijing swept his divine consciousness over Li Jiao who was cultivating in the mountain.
“She’s a good seedling, and she comes from a clean background. I really want to take her in as a personal disciple!”
He didn’t know how the Patriarch had found out.
How could he see a genius that he hadn’t even seen on the test platform?
Bai Zhijing believed that the patriarch who had secretly discovered Li Jiao must have been observing her at all times.
To be able to make such an old monster speak, meant that Li Jiao had already caught the old monster’s eye.
More importantly, in order to thank Yun Yiyi, he had also bestowed two sets of divine abilities onto their sect.
If he didn’t give her these two amazing divine abilities, Bai Zhijing would only think that this old ancestor wasn’t like this good seedling that the sect had overlooked.
At that time, it wasn’t a big deal to take Li Jiao as a disciple.
But he just had to give her two sets of divine abilities to thank her.
Moreover, they were two amazing divine abilities.
Only by treating Li Jiao as her own child would she use her own things to thank the person who helped her child.
What Bai Zhijing didn’t know was that she was overthinking.
Be it bestowing the technique or looking for Li Jiao, it was all just to return Yun Yiyi’s favor.
