Chapter 116

Sui Lv Zhenjun had his own intention: "I know, it's just ringing her warning bell."

Such matters, if not cut off, will only invite more trouble.

Like when you went to the auction two or three years ago, why did you provoke that little girl from the Xue family? The reason is that Xia Bing handles things indecisively, never firmly refusing that Profound Heaven Sect brat.

Jiang Yu, however, had a different view: "Master, even if Xia Shijie gives people the cold shoulder, Xue Miao will still take out his anger on her because his beloved suffers a cold reception."

A sycophant knows no gender. Xue Miao is definitely capable of that.

Sui Lv Zhenjun blinked, somewhat doubtful as he looked at Jiang Yu: "Will that happen?"

Eighty percent likely. Jiang Yu had seen too much in her past life, but she didn't want to get involved; saying more would be useless. "Master, take a look at this."

Sui Lv Zhenjun gathered his mind, took her jade slip to peruse, comforted Jiang Yu a while, then looked at her elder brother's remnant soul: "The sect has a spirit-nourishing divine wood; exchanging for another inch of it requires a great deal of merit points."

"My two million, no, now one million nine hundred forty thousand points—is that enough to exchange?" Jiang Yu was overjoyed.

Sui Lv Zhenjun sighed: "Ninety thousand merit points will get it."

But I suggest buying it at the auction; it's cheaper than the sect's price. Almost a hundred million low-grade spirit stones, so expensive he himself wouldn't use it.

So he added: "When you encounter an auction, never buy it yourself, lest you be robbed."

"Master, I'll exchange it in the sect and earn the merit points later." Since the sect has it, Jiang Yu also didn't want to go far and invite trouble.

Sui Lv Zhenjun neither agreed nor objected: "High-level body seizure or cultivating an external incarnation is usually extremely private."

This person isn't at all afraid of you leaking his identity.

Do you know that when our three Nascent Soul cultivators blocked him, his expression didn't change, and when he was chatting with Fellow Daoist Liaowu, he cast a secret art that plunged people into illusion?

Jiang Yu, of course, didn't know that: "Is Fellow Daoist Liaowu alright?"

Sui Lv Zhenjun increased his escape-light speed: "He's already awakened, saying he has gained insight and wants to return to closed-door cultivation."

Is your flying magic weapon easy to handle? When encountering a Golden Core cultivator, could you make a full retreat?

Jiang Yu couldn't grasp it at once; the latter two questions shifted too quickly: "It couldn't be because too many people from the Daoist sect came, causing Fellow Daoist Liaowu to want to retire swiftly and avoid too much interaction with the various sects."

As for the flying magic weapon, that cloud stalk is indeed quite good.

I'll give you the Cloud-Piercing Boat to use; if others take notice, just power it each time with a medium-grade spirit stone. Sui Lv Zhenjun flicked his storage ring and produced a palm-sized flying vessel for her.

The Cloud-Piercing Boat also has a cargo compartment and high-grade defensive patterns; the key is its speed—when lacking power, filling it with a medium-grade spirit stone makes it faster than being driven by one's own spiritual power.

After all, it's a treasure-class flying device capable of reaching a speed of 3,600 li per hour.

Jiang Yu felt it too precious and politely declined, but her master insisted: "Don't worry, I have the Cloud-Breaking Boat."

After thinking, she accepted it; the master's affection for his disciple must be upheld. "Disciple feels that Cultivator Qian deliberately claimed to be a spirit-world cultivator, which suggests ulterior motives."

No matter what the purpose, let's wait until we've explored the secret place to discuss it. Sui Lv Zhenjun returned the jade slip to her.

The master and disciple quickly arrived at a waterless valley and headed toward the entrance marked on the jade slip.

Indeed, the entrance is different.

Jiang Yu watched her master, at top speed, locate the entrance and begin casting the entry formation incantation: "Master, the light pillar that drew us in should be an entrance."

This one here, however, doesn't look like an entrance. Inside the valley there were only weeds and worthless small rubble; not even half a Lei Mother Stone could be found.

Many entrances are reserved, few exits. Under Sui Lv Zhenjun's swift manipulation, several rubble pieces rose into light pillars as tall as a person.

Jiang Yu followed her master into the light pillar; in the blink of an eye they vanished from the valley. Once her body steadied, she saw a small stream before her.

The aura is the same; we've come back once again.

My divine sense is suppressed again. Has Elder Sui Lv also been suppressed? Jiang Tu released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings together with Jiang Yu.

Yes. Sui Lv Zhenjun could not possibly tell it that, even with his divine sense suppressed, he could still extend its coverage to tens of li.

It was this divine sense that quickly let him detect Dai Lin more than ten li away.

He saw that person fiercely splitting the base of a mountain peak, also having to guard against occasional stones flying at him: "Jiang Yu, is the spirit ore location in your jade slip……"

Jiang Yu listened to her master state the coordinates and quickly nodded: "That's right."

Let's go. Sui Lv Zhenjun enfolded her in his escape light, flying at great speed; almost in the blink of an eye they reached the destination.

In his concealed state, low-level cultivators didn't notice him act without hesitation; a burst of spiritual power struck exactly the sleep acupoint, and before Dai Lin could see who had ambushed him, he collapsed sideways to the ground.

Jiang Yu hurriedly followed her master down and learned from him how to find the best spot for mining.

Sui Lv Zhenjun, while circling the mountain body, explained and pointed out the characteristics of the spirit ore, flying up and down with Jiang Yu to touch it repeatedly, so she could personally feel the differences in the mountain.

At the same time, he taught her: "The stones that fall every few dozen breaths are due to someone nearby having set up a stone-throwing formation."

The higher the cultivator's level, the larger the falling stones, which could eventually weigh as much as a thousand jin.

Jiang Yu got hit many times, as did her master, because they had to continually touch different spots on the cliff face to gauge tactile sensitivity: "How do we break the formation?"

Stone corresponds to the Gen position; pick a central anchor point, like here…… The junior disciple's single-minded talisman—Sui Lv Zhenjun had no intention of letting her change it, but since learning more practical applications of formations is valuable, he explained it thoroughly, even teaching me how to expand or suppress this formation.

After two quarters of an hour, the formation was broken, and no more stones fell to strike people. "Remember, such a formation usually indicates a self-generated spirit vein, but it doesn't rule out that someone has mined it before."

In ancient times when immortals and mortals mingled, the Bichun River had once been the inner precinct of a certain sect.

Remembered. Jiang Yu discovered her master was skilled at teaching, able to break down key points and feed them to her one by one.

Sui Lv Zhenjun had no patience for vagueness: "If you remember that, go find a suitable mining spot yourself."

Or, you could locate the old mine entrance.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Yu immediately sprang into action, feeling that Cultivator Qian's claim of spirit ore meant someone had surely gone down there before.

Anyone who passed through would leave traces; Jiang Yu intended to follow the clues to find an existing entrance.

She also put in effort, combining what she learned in the Transmission Hall with mathematics, and soon found the entrance without taking too much time.

Sui Lv Zhenjun immediately asked: "But there is a restriction here; we lack the hand seals to open the formation, and we must ensure the passage doesn't collapse. What method should we use to enter?"

Earth-shaking talismans won't work, nor earth-escape, because once a formation is laid, it usually extends deep underground.

Fire is the quickest. Jiang Yu patted Jiang Tu, meaning: "Can you unleash your Dragon King's spiritual fire?"

Jiang Tu, very pleased with Sui Lv Zhenjun, without a word spat out spiritual fire—whoosh—and the restriction before the mine cave instantly burst open a large gap.

Jiang Yu sent several clusters of flame inside to test safety; turning back, she saw her master eagerly staring at Jiang Tu's fire.
