Chapter 145

"As for Keli, she will stay in the Sect Main Hall for the time being."

"She has just begun practicing the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Art and has also obtained the Southern Bright Separation Fire Condensation Method, so she should seize this opportunity to cultivate diligently."

"After the collective cultivation on Shushan ends this evening, Elder Alice, you can come to pick up Keli."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison, then looked with some envy at Keli, who remained in Jiang Yan's arms, looking ignorant and innocent.

This little one is truly worthy of being the Sect Master's personal disciple.

While they were still pondering their own cultivation, Keli already had the Sect Master and Master guiding her.

With some inner emotion, Zhongli and the others quietly walked out of the Sect Main Hall.

However, before they reached the entrance, Jiang Yan suddenly said:

"Chief Zhongli, remember to pass on the necessary information to Chief Venti and the others regarding the exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm in a few days."

"Then, take them for a walk through the Sword Forest to see if they can elicit a response from any Dharma treasures."

"If there is nothing urgent these next few days, try to stay on Shushan to cultivate as much as possible."

"The Nine Nether Secret Realm is infested with countless demons and monsters; the weakest among them are at the initial stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"You should also notify the other disciples to cultivate diligently these few days and engage in more sparring to verify their techniques."

"So as to avoid suffering losses when the time comes in the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

Hearing this, Zhongli nodded earnestly and said in a deep voice:

"Understood, I will notify the other disciples shortly."

Seeing that Zhongli had agreed, Jiang Yan waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.

The time that followed...

Was time for the personal disciple's special training.

91. Venti, why does everything go haywire as soon as you arrive at Shushan?

After Venti and his group joined Shushan, they quickly adapted to life on the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, four or five days had already passed.

During these days, Shushan had been quite peaceful.

Everyone's daily life was also quite comfortable.

Cultivating every day and pondering other side paths.

Although a few short days were not enough for everyone's strength to advance by leaps and bounds.

But through constant battles with the demons and gods in the Shushan Cave Heaven and continuously verifying their own techniques with each other.

They had thoroughly familiarized themselves with the combat style of cultivators.

With everyone's talent, they had basically mastered the Sword Control Art and began to explore stronger sword attack methods.

They had also mastered their respective spells quite proficiently.

Simply put, after Xiao initially mastered the cultivator's combat style and the Flying Cloud Overlord Spear.

He went to find that demon god again.

In three moves, that demon god was unable to rise again.

Nowadays, Xiao is honing his combat skills against another demon god corresponding to the middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit.

The true advantages of a cultivator had thoroughly erupted.

The only one whose progress was not high was Lisa.

The cultivation requirements for the Karmic Fire Soul-Burning Technique were truly somewhat anti-human; in a short period, relying on those sporadic fierce beast souls, it had absolutely no effect.

However, Lisa was not in a hurry; she hadn't been in the sect for long, and she could learn slowly.

Moreover, they were going to the Nine Nether Secret Realm soon, and there would be plenty of souls then.

Speaking of which, when Ningguang and the others learned that the technique Lisa was practicing was a demonic art, they were quite startled.

Fortunately, Lisa brought out Jiang Yan's explanation, which put everyone at ease.

Now, it was actually the others who were very curious about what the demonic cultivation method felt like.

But if they really wanted to get in touch with it, forget it.

It was ultimately too dangerous.

On Ningguang's side, the contribution point system had been successfully implemented, and the Merit Hall had also been rebuilt by Jiang Yan.

It was located on Tongtian Peak.

Jiang Yan, considering that Keli liked to stick to her mother, simply had Alice take charge of the Merit Hall on Tongtian Peak in the name of the Law Enforcement Hall.

However, at present, there was no serious activity in the Merit Hall.

Jiang Yan planned for the Merit Hall to officially get on the right track when they went to the Nine Nether Secret Realm.

Regarding pills, Lishui still had no progress, and the same went for Liuyun and Pingzi in the direction of artifact refining.

They had only barely managed to make a low-grade Dharma treasure pill furnace.

Considering that the Merit Hall would need a large amount of resources to fill it later, Jiang Yan personally made many pills and Dharma treasures.

In preparation for the disciples to exchange them with contribution points later.

At this time, the Merit Hall only had the few long-term tasks that Jiang Yan had mentioned before.

Below that, there were commissions posted by Ningguang in her personal name.

Specifying that Zhongli help research martial arts techniques suitable for mortals to practice, worth a full five thousand contribution points.

As of now, only Ningguang had very abundant contribution points in the entire Shushan.

Zhongli was happy to ponder it; anyway, after he understood cultivation, mortal martial arts were basically understood.

How to create them was also very simple.

He had been busy creating techniques these past few days.

The others' cultivation was proceeding step by step.

Shenhe turned a deaf ear to everything outside and focused solely on cultivating the Seven Killings Order.

Now, according to Jiang Yan's investigation, she could already unleash the first three orders.

How much power it could have was currently unknown.

The three major talismans that came with the Tongtian Talisman on Ningguang's side had now been fully mastered, and the next step was proficiency.

Many Ten-Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talismans had also been made and distributed to Baiwen and the others.

For most things, Ningguang could now remote-control them from the Shushan Cave Heaven, which saved a lot of spirit stones.

Keqing had comprehended the "Mountain-Shaking" move in the Sword Control Art, and her strength had improved significantly.

Simply in terms of the initial stage of Refining Essence into Qi, she was much stronger than Ningguang.

However, the strongest one had to be Keli.

The Red Emperor Burning Heaven Art and the Southern Bright Separation Fire Condensation Method.

Plus the full set of Dharma treasures Jiang Yan specially crafted for Keli, covering defense, combat, life-saving, and running away.

With all six dimensions maxed out, Keli's actual combat ability was absolutely invincible among those at the initial stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

So, disciples are still closer when they are one's own.

Ganyu's progress was also very fast; every night, she had to be called out by Jiang Yan to have special training for her and Keli.

Perhaps this was the reason why their strength improved so rapidly.

In general, everyone's cultivation was very smooth.

If one had to say it wasn't smooth...

It wasn't that there weren't any.

Venti, this guy, was too restless; during the morning class, he insisted on drinking wine brewed with spiritual power.

He was caught by Xiao and punished with ten spirit stones by the Law Enforcement Hall's precepts.

Venti learned his lesson, but once the wear and tear were gone, he, being naturally playful, started tossing about again, trying to give the demon gods outside Shushan a surprise with a Maze Array.

While the demon gods were diligently herding, he threw them into strange and bizarre places.

Just like that, it wasn't worth making a big fuss, after all, they were just some demon gods and fierce beasts.

But this guy had too many tricks.

He went to Luoxia Peak to pour wine for the animals tamed by Baisheng, causing Baisheng, who went out to catch animals, to be almost suffocated by the vomit all over the ground upon returning.

As soon as Xiaoyue finished a formation, he tricked some unlucky immortal into it for an experiment.

And he secretly ran to the spirit field to dig holes and bury wine.

He was caught by Lishui, reported to Zhongli, and when he arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, he righteously claimed that this was fertilizing the spirit herbs.
