Chapter 26: A gifted traveler emerged from the Dao Sect
Translator: 549690339
Now that the matters of the Purified Land of Red Dust were settled, and the Red Dust Fairy was unknown when she would awaken, Jiang Li no longer stayed in the Purified Land of Red Dust. He instructed them to keep the matters of the Red Dust Fairy confidential, to never disclose the news, otherwise with the charm of the Red Dust Fairy, who knows what trouble could be stirred up.
He went to visit the Dao Sect and requested a Remote Communication Talisman from the Sect Master of Dao Sect.
“Hm? Usually, you wince every time I ask you for a Remote Communication Talisman, why are so forthcoming this time?” Seeing the smiling face of the Sect Master of Dao Sect, Jiang Li always felt that he was up to no good.
The Sect Master of Dao Sect seemed to be of similar age to Jiang Li, both appearing as youthful and vigorous young men.
He stood With his hands behind his back and said with a smile, “A prodigy has emerged from the Dao Sect, as the Sect Master, how could I not be pleased?”
“For you to rate someone as a prodigy, they must be very promising juniors. I wonder which genius he is trying to compare himself to. If it’s not too much trouble, you might as well bring him over to let me have a look.” Jiang Li was also interested. If he could witness the growth of a genius, he, being the protector of Jiuzhou, would also feel a sense of achievement.
The Sect Master of Dao Sect continued to say with a smile, “It’s not a problem, you are familiar with this person.”
“Oh, a junior that I’m familiar with?”
The Sect Master of Dao Sect changed his smile and said seriously, “Zhang Li, as the envoy of Dao Sect, why don’t you pay respects to your Sect Master when you see him!”
Jiang Li’s smile froze.
Later, according to a disciple’s description, a strange moan was heard above the sect’s premises, and a faint roar saying, “I can’t coexist with Ji Zhi” was heard.
Soon, the Sect Master of Dao Sect came forward to debunk the rumors, not just faintly, but someone did shout “I can’t coexist with Ji Zhi”.
Soon, the current Human Emperor came out and announced, urging everyone not to spread or believe in rumors.
Jiang Li handed the Remote Communication Talisman to the Purified Land of Red Dust, saying that if there was any movement from the Red Dust Fairy, they should inform him.
The Purified Land of Red Dust naturally agreed, as their ancestor, the Red Dust Fairy, was an Immortal of the Upper Realm, with profound cultivated abilities. If she caused some sort of trouble, they feared that only Jiang Li could handle it.
Jiang Li returned to the Great Zhou once again, not to find trouble with Emperor Ji Zhi of Zhou, but to complete the task given by the system.
Fortunately, the task this time was simple, Huayun Sect Yunbo was still alive. Due to having consumed the Longevity Pill, he could live for another two hundred years and looked like a middle-aged man.
The lifespan of cultivators is long, and their appearance does not change with age, but changes with their state of mind.
For instance, Jiang Li and the Sect Master of Dao Sect both look like youngsters, indicating that their state of mind is young, full of vitality, with active thoughts and vigorous vitality. These are highly desirable mental states for cultivators, but only few can attain them.
For instance, the female cultivators of the Purified Land of Red Dust, all look like women in their most beautiful age.
For instance, Yuan Wuxing, his cultivation level is average, he suffered setbacks in the world, his actions changed from impulsive to calm, and thus he appears middle-aged.
Another example is the deceased Jiang Yixing, who was desperate to stay alive, and therefore, looked extremely old.
Jiang Li, under the guise of visiting an old friend and giving cultivation guidance, completed his mission with Yun Bo.
[Congratulations to the host for overcoming Yun Bo with wisdom and sweat, do you want to settle the reward?]
[This mission reward: one chance for a direct awakening, one high-quality spiritual artifact of any style (can be upgraded), one piece of a mysterious map fragment]
[Achievement “Qi Cultivation defeats Foundation Establishment” because the host with the Qi Cultivation stage overcame Foundation Establishment stage
Yun Bo]
Jiang Li could not be bothered to retort at this irrelevant mission settlement message. If there was a fast-forward button, he would definitely choose to skip the mission settlement.
“Settle the reward.”
A pure force once again descended from the void and flowed into Jiang Li’s body.
This time the force was extremely terrifying, enough to allow a cultivator of Qi Cultivation stage to leap to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
A leaf fell and Jiang Li blew a breath towards it, once more separating this force.
[Please choose the style of high-quality spiritual artifact] “Swiss Army Knife”
[ …No match for “Swiss Army Knife” , please reselect]
“AK47.’l
[ …No match for “AK/+7”, please reselect] “Tiger Tank”.
[ …No match for “Tiger Tank” , please reselect]
“Kitchen Knife.”
[ ….No match for… matched high -quality spiritual artifact “Bloodbath Bone-chopping Knife”]
The system automatically responded “No match for,” but then found that it could match to a corresponding spiritual artifact halfway through the sentence.
A knife shimmering with a slight cold light appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.
[“Bloodbath Bone-chopping Knife” , high-quality spiritual artifact, after bathing in a large amount of fresh blood, it can extract vitality from the blood and can be upgraded to a mid-tier magic artifact]
[Recognition method of a spiritual artifact: Blood recognition]
The rewards from the system this time are quite generous. For a cultivator who has just embarked on the path of cultivation, a high-quality spiritual artifact is a rare weapon that can be used up to the Nascent Soul Stage. A mid-tier magic artifact is even more extraordinary, some Divinity Transformation cultivators are even using it.
This is an invaluable weapon for Jiang Li who has just received energy from the system and become a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
Oh, I’m in the Mahayana Realm, so never mind.
Looking at the system displaying “extract vitality from fresh blood, can be upgraded to a mid-tier magic artifact” “blood recognition,” Jiang Li was in deep thought.
“Are you sure it can be recognized by blood?”
[Please don’t doubt the professionalism of this system]
Jiang Li understood, bit his finger, a drop of blood dripped onto the surface of the kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife kept trembling, emitting a visible light, and its aura continued to rise, high-quality spiritual artifact… top-quality spiritual artifact… lower-grade magic artifact… mid-grade magic artifact… top-grade explosion…
With a rumble, the kitchen knife could not withstand the vitality contained in a drop of Jiang Li’s blood and exploded directly.
[Professionalism]
“…I’ve been saying that it can’t be recognized by blood, but you didn’t believe me. I’m calling you a useless system, you have no objections, right?”
The system pretended not to hear Jiang Li’s complaints.
[Please receive the map fragment]
A piece of a map emitting a golden light appeared in Jiang Li’s hand. As the golden light slowly faded, the fragment’s appearance gradually revealed itself.
Jiang Li was annoyed waiting, he blew away the golden glitter, and directly saw a fragment of the map.
The size of the fragment was about the size of a palm, made of sheepskin material, and displayed a map with very few markers.
[Qianyuan Secret Realm Map (1/3), complete follow-up tasks to get the remaining fragments]
Jiang Li scratched his chin, pulled out a jade piece from his Storage Ring, input spiritual power, and the entire map of Jiuzhou appeared in front of him. Rivers, mountains, cities, complete in every detail.
He scanned the map of Jiuzhou with his divine sense, compared it with the
Qianyuan Secret Realm map fragment, and quickly found the location of the Qianyuan Secret Realm, which was on a mountain in the Great Wei Empire.
[Congratulations to the host for accidentally finding the Qianyuan Secret Realm, the reward for the subsequent tasks has been changed]
Whether it was an illusion or not, Jiang Li heard a strong sense of frustration from the system’s prompt.
[System Prompt, the Qianyuan Secret Realm is too dangerous for the host, please explore after reaching Nascent Soul Stage]
Jiang Li suddenly lost interest in this Qianyuan Secret Realm.
Danger and gain are equal.. A secret realm that can be explored at the Nascent Soul stage, does it contain treasures that would move one in the Transcendence Tribulation stage, or Mahayana stage?
