Chapter 91: How Dare You
Although he couldn’t read, he had seen Ji Yang sneaking around in the spiritual field before while catching bugs, so the smart Little Black pretended to know nothing.
This was just right to deal with the current trouble.
When Little Black reached the empty space, he even pawed at the soil beneath to uncover the stone tablet hidden under the dirt.
Then he barked a few more times at the stone tablet.
Ye Wuchen, noticing this, wore a puzzled expression.
But he quickly realized that there were traces of Thousands of Sword Energies on the stone tablet, and seeing Little Black’s actions, there clearly was some secret hidden within.
Ye Wuchen simply moved his hand slightly.
The buried stone tablet appeared, and the words on the other side came into view.
Ye Wuchen looked along the stone tablet.
“Master Ye Tianzun, named Wuchen…”
Upon seeing the first line, Ye Wuchen’s expression turned strange, and as he continued reading, his face grew increasingly grim!
Moments later, a furious voice echoed from the top of Jingtan Peak:
“Ungrateful disciple!!!”
At this moment, Little Black had already run into the spiritual field.
Seeing this, Little Black wagged his tail, bared his teeth, and wore a satisfied smile.
Although he didn’t know what was written above, he felt happy, and the anger from being oppressed before dissipated at that moment.
Now this Jingtan Peak was his!
Looking at the three acres of spiritual grains in front of him, Little Black couldn’t help but start marking the edges of the spiritual field with his urine!
At the fishing platform by Tianxing Lake, Ji Yang focused intently on the fishing rod in his hands, waiting for the spiritual fish to bite.
Suddenly, he felt a chill run through his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
This made Ji Yang furrow his brows. Did he catch a cold?
But practitioners were strong and healthy, especially since he had absorbed countless White Light Points. He hadn’t been sick since he was seven years old.
Forget it, fishing was more important.
Ji Yang shook his head and decided not to think about it any further.
……
At Ziying Mine, Wu Yun was diligently mining deep within the cave.
Thinking about the steamed buns he hadn’t eaten for days, Wu Yun sighed.
How tough it was!
But when he thought of the insights he gained from that sword move, a surge of confidence arose in Wu Yun’s eyes.
As he grew tired from mining, Wu Yun glanced at the young man beside him and couldn’t help but ask,
“Fang Zhan, what brought you in here?”
Fang Zhan smiled calmly,
“Just call me Fang Zhan; we are all at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement, so there’s no need for the title.”
Wu Yun responded out loud,
But inwardly, he felt a sense of pride; he was not merely at the Seventh Level!
After the mining punishment ended, he would definitely reach the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement; it would be just around the corner! By then, this Fang Zhan would have to call him senior!
Seeing the confidence on Wu Yun’s face, Fang Zhan smiled freely, feeling a similar confidence rising in himself!
He had contemplated Ji Yang’s sword move for a long time, combined with his existing skill and recent experience in mining, he could soon break through to the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement and prepare for Foundation Establishment!
Just as the two were enjoying their conversation, a guard disciple from the mine approached them.
“Who is Wu Yun?”
Wu Yun felt confused but quickly replied,
“It’s me, brother!”
The guard disciple scanned Wu Yun from head to toe and then said,
“Come with me!”
Wu Yun was puzzled, but since the guard disciples all had the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, he didn’t question it further; however, he was somewhat confused as to why he was being called at this time.
Once they reached outside the mine, Wu Yun could no longer hold back and asked,
“Brother, may I ask what this is about?”
The guard disciple turned around with a smile and replied,
“You’re in luck. After verification by the sect, the last incident was not your fault, and now you can leave.”
Hearing this, Wu Yun was first startled, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He had never heard of anyone being allowed to leave the mining site early after punishment, especially when he hadn’t mined any precious resources like the other senior brothers.
Although he had many questions, faced with this unexpected joy, Wu Yun did not hesitate.
Mining? No one would want to do that; if he could leave, he would go immediately.
He wished he could break through to the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement right now and then advance to Foundation Establishment.
Besides, he had been mining for over a month, and he imagined his family must be anxious for him.
It was just a pity he couldn’t mine alongside Fang Zhan anymore.
But thinking about his family’s urgency, Wu Yun retrieved his storage bag and quickly left the mining site with the escort of the guard disciple.
As soon as Wu Yun stepped out of the mining site, he saw a familiar figure standing outside.
When the person turned around, Wu Yun was astonished, then joyfully exclaimed,
“Little cousin, what are you doing here?”
Could it be that the family used some resources to redeem him early?
Seeing Wuzhen waiting there, Wu Yun thought to himself.
In the sect, such situations were not uncommon; however, a certain degree of maneuvering was necessary to make it happen successfully.
He wanted to ask about it, but since he assumed Wuzhen didn’t know the details and was just following the family’s orders, he decided not to pry.
“Cousin, I’m here to pick you up!”
Wuzhen smiled lightly.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Wu Yun’s face as well; it felt good to have family!
Thinking of his previous gains, Wu Yun beamed with excitement,
“Don’t worry, little cousin! This time when I return to the sect, I will definitely break through to the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement. At that point, Foundation Establishment will be within reach, and our family won’t be struggling like before.”
Wuzhen nodded slightly,
“Your words are very true.”
Watching Wuzhen, who seemed much more steady now, Wu Yun felt relief. He patted Wuzhen’s shoulder and praised him,
“You’ve really matured, little cousin, but you don’t need to worry; I will take full responsibility for family matters from now on.”
“Wow, little cousin has reached the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement; that’s impressive!”
“Although your realm has improved, you must still work hard and not be anxious to break through to the Eighth Level of Qi Refinement!”
Wuzhen responded to each point.
“Alright, little cousin, let’s head back to the sect! It’s a pity my Green Glimmer Boat can only carry one person.”
“That’s not a problem.”
Just as Wu Yun was about to say something more, he saw a flying boat rushing toward them from a distance.
Along with it came a voice,
“Wuzhen, there’s an urgent matter in the sect…”
Wu Yun was astonished; the flying boat before him was much more luxurious than the magical tool in his hands. What did he just hear?
Wuzhen?
Were they addressing him because of his connection to Wu Yun? Wu Yun thought to himself, feeling a bit proud; it seemed they realized he was about to advance to the Tenth Level of Qi Refinement and had come to curry favor with him, but since they couldn’t find a direct way, they approached his little cousin instead.
He had seen many disciples like this; maybe their talents were average, and they sought to cling onto his family. It wasn’t an impossible idea; they would just have to be evaluated first!
Just as Wu Yun was about to speak, two disciples at the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement came down from the flying boat to greet Wuzhen, smiling as they said,
“Please, Brother Wuzhen!”
Their respectful attitude added a hint of confusion in Wu Yun’s eyes, making him want to shout,
“I’m right here! Look at me!”
But throughout the entire encounter, their focus remained solely on Wuzhen, leaving Wu Yun with a dazed expression, feeling as if his previous assumptions had fallen into a flaw.
