Chapter 290: I am Willing to Join the Heaven Demon Sect
“Oh?”
Ji Yang was quite surprised upon hearing this.
No wonder this item was so important to Feng Yuan; it turned out to hold hidden secrets.
At that moment, the ancestor’s tomb that Feng Yuan mentioned sounded to Ji Yang like the cave dwelling of a senior expert in the Cultivation World!
Seeing Ji Yang’s expression, a trace of pride flashed across Feng Yuan’s face as he spoke again:
“Think about it, our Feng family used to be a top-tier family with many high-level cultivators and unparalleled alchemy skills! Unfortunately, after our ancestor died, the family fell suddenly from grace.”
“However, this is no longer a problem. Now that we have the Seven Star Dan Furnace, once we return to the family, we can open the ancestor’s tomb and obtain whatever he left behind.”
“Our ancestor was a high-level cultivator in Unity with the Dao and a master alchemist; I’m sure there must be many valuable alchemical resources in his tomb. We will surely be able to restore our family’s reputation!”
Ji Yang, who had been listening enthusiastically, felt his heart sink when he learned that the Feng family’s ancestor was only at the Unity with the Dao stage.
The title of master alchemist was not enough to captivate him.
Rather than return to dig up the tomb of Feng’s ancestor, it seemed far more reliable to go back to the He Dao Sect and investigate Ye Wuchen’s Jingtan Peak.
“Uncle Feng, this matter is quite significant; I think we should consider it carefully.”
“While the heirlooms left by the ancestor are great, relying solely on them to revive our Feng family is far from enough.”
Ji Yang said thoughtfully.
Feng Yuan, who was beside him, furrowed his brows but nodded in agreement:
“You’re right, Master!”
However, Feng Yuan’s eyes brightened as he excitedly turned his gaze to Ji Yang:
“Master, there’s an opportunity now! An opportunity to restore our Feng family!”
“?”
Ji Yang showed a perplexed expression, and Feng Yuan continued:
“During the competition, you claimed the top spot. I noticed that the elder from the Heaven Demon Sect was very interested in you. If you could enter the Heaven Demon Sect, your future would be limitless. Once you become a master alchemist, wouldn’t you be able to revitalize our Feng family, just like a fish that found water!”
Feng Yuan grew more and more excited as he spoke, and Ji Yang could only nod in agreement:
“Uncle Feng makes a lot of sense!”
Seeing Ji Yang agree, Feng Yuan’s face lit up with reassurance, mumbling to himself:
“The young master has grown up!”
“In that case, if someone later tries to recruit you, just accept it.”
Ji Yang nodded again, but his mind was already forming plans.
Once Wu Laoda had gathered what he needed, he would run away.
Feng Yuan was overjoyed; he felt reassured about “Feng Yu’s” current performance, but when he thought of the situation with the family, Feng Yuan frowned slightly.
Currently, there were still some remaining family members of the Feng family, but gaining access to the ancestor’s tomb was no easy task, as it involved many complicated interests.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Yuan decisively said:
“Master, I will set off back to the family today. I will handle things over there. As for the Heaven Demon Sect, you will have to act according to the circumstances. If anything major happens, just send me a Transmission.”
Ji Yang, who had been pondering how to escape, felt a flash of joy at these words, but hesitated upon considering Feng Yu’s identity:
“That’s….”
“Don’t worry, Master. This is the Heaven Demon Sect. Besides, you are valued by the elders now, so there should be no other dangers.”
After a moment of hesitation, Ji Yang nodded reluctantly:
“Alright then!”
Once they confirmed their plan, Feng Yuan no longer delayed. After tidying up, he left the inn, heading toward the Feng Family.
As for the Seven Star Dan Furnace, Feng Yuan did not take it with him. According to him, only the direct descendants of the Feng family could open the ancestor’s tomb, and he was from the collateral line, so it would be useless for him to bring it back.
Ji Yang naturally didn’t mind this. If it meant letting Feng Yuan leave, he would be willing to give up the Dan furnace.
After Feng Yuan left, Ji Yang sighed with relief. It was difficult to ensure his disguise with someone constantly shadowing him.
Now that Feng Yuan was gone, the possibility of his identity being exposed diminished greatly.
The only ones he needed to deal with now were the cultivators from the Heaven Demon Sect, and he hoped that Ren Yuning wouldn’t use her magical tool in the next few days.
Once he resolved his identity issues, Ji Yang used his ability, Wandering Spirit Commanding Energy, to split off a primordial spirit phantom and left the inn.
This ability was quite hidden and made for a good choice to gather information, and Ji Yang’s current goal was to find Wu Laoda and see if he was slacking off.
Just as Ji Yang sent out the primordial spirit phantom, a knock sounded from outside the inn.
Ji Yang sensed it with his primordial spirit, and his expression changed slightly.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Ren Yuning from the Heaven Demon Sect standing there.
Upon realizing that she wasn’t holding the compass magical tool, Ji Yang felt a little more at ease.
It seemed she wasn’t looking for him but rather for Feng Yu.
Ji Yang smiled:
“Ah, it’s Ren Daoist! What brings you here?”
Ren Yuning did not rush to answer. Instead, she glanced around the room a couple of times.
Ji Yang suddenly realized his oversight and quickly stepped aside:
“I was inattentive. Please come in, Daoist Ren, and let’s talk.”
Ren Yuning walked leisurely into the room and said slowly:
“I perceive that you, Daoist Feng, are a straightforward person, so I will be direct. I have come to invite you to join our Heaven Demon Sect. Do you have any interest in this?”
Ren Yuning got straight to the point, but Ji Yang’s face displayed hesitation upon hearing it.
Even though his original self had significant differences from the Heaven Demon Sect, changing sects was not a decision to be made hastily.
Agreeing too quickly would not be wise.
Of course, Ji Yang had no intention of joining the Heaven Demon Sect, but for now, he needed to deal with Ren Yuning and ensure he didn’t expose any flaws as Feng Yu before Wu Laoda found what he needed.
Seeing “Feng Yu” hesitate, the smile on Ren Yuning’s face faded slightly, and she spoke again:
“The Heaven Demon Sect is a top-tier sect with countless high-level cultivators and a master alchemist like Mo Yunzi. In contrast, your Dan Ding Sect has become obscure in the Cultivation World. Only by joining our Heaven Demon Sect can you have better development!”
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang’s expression showed a hint of temptation, but he still did not rush to agree.
Noticing this, Ren Yuning smiled slightly:
“You have high talent in alchemy and should not be buried in the Dan Ding Sect. With your strength, if you continue to stay there, you might find it difficult to reach the level of master alchemist in your lifetime.”
Ji Yang felt speechless inside. Although Ren Yuning’s words were quite convincing, it was only reasonable to provide some tangible benefits to attract talent.
Since Ren Yuning did not seem inclined to offer a recruitment package, Ji Yang decided to drop his pretentious stance to avoid making a fool of himself. He could only nod slowly:
“Daoist Ren has a point. I am willing to join the Heaven Demon Sect!”
