Chapter 217: Calmness

"Be honest and tell me, was this your doing?"

"Sect Master, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me. You can’t put this on me just because of your previous biases!"

Ji Yang spoke with a strong voice, earnestly defending himself.

There was no way he could admit to it.

Li Daoyi snorted lightly and did not pursue the matter further. He instead said,

"You are now an inner disciple, right?"

"Yes."

Ji Yang’s brow furrowed with confusion, but he nodded in agreement, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

Could it be that he was about to be promoted to become a true heir of the sect?

Ah, he didn’t want that; it was just a title, a superficial honor that Ji Yang never cared for.

Yet there was still a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Li Daoyi pondered for a moment before speaking again:

"Since you are an inner disciple, you should follow the sect rules. According to our He Dao Sect’s regulations, all inner disciples must go out to train after becoming inner disciples."

"Now that Peak Master Ye is away from the sect, as the Sect Master, I will assume his responsibilities once more. In two days, you will leave the sect for your training."

Ji Yang’s expression froze upon hearing this, and he quickly replied,

"Sect Master, I am still in the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment. Isn’t this a bit early? It would be better for me to wait until I reach the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment; that way, I would be safer while outside."

"You wouldn’t want me to fall into a life-and-death situation because my realm is too low, would you?"

Li Daoyi waved his hand dismissively:

"This matter is settled; you need not say more. I will notify Peak Master Ye."

"Now go back to the Peak and prepare. In two days, I will send someone to pick you up, and you’ll find out the specifics of the training task then."

"Sect Master, I have contributed greatly to the sect! Look at the new spiritual grains, look at the mines I’ve excavated. The sect cannot be without me!"

It was better that he hadn’t said anything; hearing "mines" again darkened Li Daoyi’s expression further.

"Not being in the sect is your greatest contribution!"

With that, Li Daoyi waved his hand once more. Before Ji Yang could react, he was swept out of the great hall by a gust of wind.

Looking at the tightly closed doors, Ji Yang could only sigh.

It seemed he couldn’t escape this.

He had devoted himself to the He Dao Sect, losing sleep at night to contribute to its development, tirelessly maintaining the sect’s atmosphere, and working day and night to increase the sect’s GDP without a moment’s rest.

Little did he expect to face such a result.

Listening to Ji Yang’s grievances outside the hall, Li Daoyi clenched his fist and murmured to himself:

"I am the Sect Master, I am the Sect Master!"

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

Not long later, Ji Yang left the great hall and flew towards Jingtan Peak.

Training it is!

He had made up his mind; since he couldn’t refuse, he would accept it calmly.

With his current true realm, he thought he wouldn’t be a small fish outside the He Dao Sect, but rather a big one, so safety shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

Moreover, after staying at the He Dao Sect for so long, he also wanted to go back and take a look.

What was happening in the village now?

Looking far into the distance, Ji Yang felt a touch of nostalgia.

But then he turned around in his heart and added ten years of penalty to Li Daoyi.

Seeing Ji Yang leave, Li Daoyi took out his messaging talisman from his storage bag and sent a transmission:

"With his realm and talents, does Peak Master Ye really want to let him go out for training?"

Before long, a reply came from the messaging talisman:

"No problem, Sect Master. You can rest assured."

"I will return to the Peak in a few days."

Hearing Ye Wuchen’s voice, Li Daoyi felt somewhat relieved.

Due to today’s events, the following days would surely not be peaceful for the He Dao Sect, and things would be quite busy. With several Peak Masters currently in seclusion, they couldn’t step in; if Ye Wuchen returned, then the sect would be much safer.

In the skies above Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang quickly arrived.

Before landing, he already caught sight of the familiar Jingtan Peak.

Upon seeing the intact spiritual field within Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang breathed a little easier.

As long as nothing was damaged, that was good.

To check on the status of the spiritual grains, Ji Yang chose not to land on the peak but instead descended at the foot of the peak, preparing to fly up and see how the spiritual grains were doing, while also harvesting some Light points along the way.

After entering the spiritual herb garden, he hadn’t harvested a large number of White Light Points in a long time.

But when Ji Yang reached the spiritual field at the foot of the peak, he was momentarily stunned upon seeing the smooth spiritual grains.

The spiritual field and the rice stalks were fine, but where had all the spiritual grains gone?

If he remembered correctly, these grains had only just matured, right?

Had this vast field of spiritual grains all been eaten by those two beasts?

Ji Yang felt puzzled, but since the Light points were still present above the spiritual grains, he didn’t rush to investigate. Instead, he got busy in the spiritual field.

Physique +1

Spirit +1

Agility +1

…

Since he had planted several times, the harvested Light points were mostly White Light Points, occasionally yielding a Yun Ling Dan.

However, Ji Yang already had thousands of these pills in his Heaven’s Secret Pearl, most of which he obtained from the spiritual herb garden, so he didn’t pay much attention to one or two of them now.

As Ji Yang gathered the harvest, he felt the changes in his physical body.

Unfortunately, after absorbing too many White Light Points, the sensation of each one felt minimal now, and even from this entire mountain’s worth of White Light Points, the improvement was not significant.

It seemed there was still a long way to go before becoming invincible in body. Next time, he should aim for a longer target and first fill the entire He Dao Sect with spiritual grains.

But he wondered if the Sect Master would agree to that.

As Ji Yang collected Light points up to halfway up the mountain, he suddenly stopped and looked at the two large black rats in the spiritual field.

Their round bodies lay helplessly on the ground.

The two beasts were fast asleep, their breathing loud and thunderous.

“Whoosh!”

“Rumble!”

…

This continued in a cycle.

You sing, and then I take the stage.

If he hadn’t paid close attention, Ji Yang would not have recognized that these were his own two guardian beasts of Jingtan Peak.

At this moment, the two beasts lay in the spiritual field, their bellies up, with slight smiles at the corners of their mouths, unaware of what adventures they were having in their dreams.

Even when Ji Yang came so close, the two beasts showed no signs of waking up.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yang finally understood why his spiritual grains were being consumed so quickly.

These were clearly two big gluttons.

Just as Ji Yang prepared to wake them, he saw Little Black’s dazed eyes slightly open, then rush towards Ji Yang, ready to bite.

But when Little Black got closer and saw Ji Yang’s gloomy expression, he sensed that something was off.

This didn’t seem like a dream?

Seeing Ji Yang raise a fist the size of a cooking pot, Little Black hurriedly changed his actions, retracting his exposed teeth and extending his tongue, trying to curry favor.

"Hmph, flattery won’t work."

With one punch, Ji Yang made Little Black realize who the true boss of Jingtan Peak was.

“Woo woo woo.”

Little Black dared not refute, whimpering softly, but secretly made a note in his heart against Ji Yang.

Once he finished eating this patch of spiritual grains, he would find Ji Yang to take revenge.
