Chapter 656: Sword Cultivators Are The Strongest
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shu Yi turned even paler, but deep down she was madly calling out to the system.
"001! What exactly is going on? Why did a Soul Formation cultivator suddenly appear out of nowhere? He never existed in the memory you gave me! Why is Zuo Shuming suddenly acquainted with such a person? Do you know that I almost died earlier? Make it clear ahhh!"
[001 isn't sure too. It might be because the appearance of host upset the original series of events so it resulted in another effect.]
"You're saying that my appearance resulted in a butterfly effect?"
[You can say that, previously host stopped him from joining Dan Xia Mountain but he ended up in the outer sect, didn't this accidentally allow him to be acquainted with Lonemoon. Isn't this person also non-existent in the original owner's memories?]
"How is that the same!" Shu Yi cried out, increasingly agitated. "This is a Soul Formation sword cultivator, Soul Formation! That Lonemoon is merely a blockhead in the Foundation Establishment phase, they cannot be compared at all."
Yi Qing: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
Blockhead Lonemoon: "..."
Both master and disciple took a step back and looked up at the sky.

"We didn't hear anything!"
"The signal was bad just now, we didn't hear the broadcast."
The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched, he turned to glare at the two. "Do your work quickly! One more word and you can bid goodbye to your meals for the next month!"
Alright, Father Niu! No problem, Father Niu!
"Can I stay now?" Yu Luan quickly looked towards Yu Luan who was shocked silly.
Yu Luan shivered, after looking from Yi Qing to Supremacy Tian Ji who was set in the wall several times, he then responded. He knew sword cultivators were strong, but didn't expect one to be this powerful. Both were Soul Formation but against each other, one instantly dominated!
"S... sure! Of... of course you can!" He nodded multiple times, then immediately shot a look to the peak masters and Nascent Soul elders behind him who were still dumbfounded, stop staring, hurry and keep him!
Everyone faltered and snapped to their senses, understanding him instantly! Then hurriedly bowed in Chef's directly.
"Greetings Uncle-Master!" No matter what, the priority was to keep him. Though this person seemed like he had some misunderstandings with Uncle-Master Tian Ji, they did not have a differing opinion of him just because of that. That he was too strong was the main reason, secondly, it was also because Tian Ji's relations with people was only so-so and those words he said in the hall earlier had made everyone comfortable. Besides, it was indeed because Supremacy Tian Ji shot off his mouth and insulted sword cultivators first, and he just happened to be caught! And for that "battle" earlier, Tian Ji had obviously acted first.
Especially Yu Luan, he felt more satisfied the more he looked at his Supremacy who sent himself to their door. To be honest, he initially had some worries about keeping, also thinking that he probably had some other motives, so he had the intention of taking a gamble in doing so. Now... the other party was so terrifyingly strong, if he really had any motives, he could have just wiped out the whole Gui Yi Sect, why the need to go a long way, motives my ass!
Yi Qing nodded and said, "Then we shall stay in Gui Yi Sect from now on!"
"Welcome Uncle-Master to our sect!"
Wait a moment!
We?
Yu Luan caught the meaning in his words and faltered, only realizing that there was a little lady behind him after looking everywhere. She looked young, compared to Yi Qing who was evidently strong, there wasn't even a hint of Spirit Qi on her, seeming like she hadn't started cultivating. He subconsciously thought that she might be his friend or a disciple he had just taken in, hence he asked politely, "This fellow Daoist is?"
Yi Qing stepped aside and answered in all seriousness, "This is my master!" Then added again after some thought. "Your Great Uncle-Master!"
Yu Luan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
(⊙_⊙)
Why did they suddenly feel like they'd been taken advantage of?
Yet they were the ones who suggested calling him Uncle-Master. Yu Luan stared at the lady for a while, he worked hard for a long time but the three words "Great Uncle-Master" just wouldn't leave his mouth.
At last, he could only change the topic, looking towards Tian Ji who was still in the wall. "Uncle-Master Yi Qing, about that..."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Mm." Yi Qing nodded, he was about to let it go but upon hearing a certain person's voice transmission, he could only reply with, "Core cultivators are nothing more than this!"
Core cultivator Yu Luan: "..."
The crowd of core cultivators: "..."
It felt they were shot in the knee with an arrow that came out of nowhere. Yu Luan directed the Elders to get the person in the wall out, while he cleaned his hands and looked towards Yi Qing. "Uncle-Master, my sect has a total of six mountains, which one would you like to stay on? So that I can send some disciples to prep the place?"
In theory, the two Soul Formation Supremacies of their sect stayed on Dan Xian Peak, but it was evident that this new Uncle-Master was at loggerheads with Tian Ji, he must be unwilling to be in the same place so he was giving him the choice.
"No need!" Yi Qing rejected his kind intentions.
"Huh?" Yu Luan was confused.
However he saw him suddenly turn and walked to the left, stopping by the edge of the floating peak, with a wave of his hand, a white light instantly descended down. In a short while, he heard a loud rumble, like the earth was splitting, even the ground he stood on shook.
A huge peak suddenly rose gradually from below and went higher and higher, even past the main peak. At last it stopped above the tallest Dan Xia Mountain.
Yu Luan: "..."
He'd actually shifted another mountain over!
(๑ŐдŐ)b
The core cultivators leaders of Gui Yi Sect suddenly felt that they had a great misunderstanding about sword cultivators in the past!
"I will stay here from now on!" Yi Qing glanced at the freshly formed floating peak. "As for disciples... just them two!" He pointed at Lonemoon and Zuo Shuming.
Then he left with his master on a sword, flying towards his peak.
Finally an end, showing off and what not was much more tiring than cooking, they'd even almost delayed Master's mealtime!
——————
The news that Gui Yi Sect had gained another Soul Formation sword cultivator spread through the entire sect. Though very few had seen him, but the fact that the great hall on the main peak collapsed and a new floating peak grew still shocked many disciples.
Although the threshold for sword cultivators were low, unlike other specializations, with almost no restrictions to spirit roots, its combat capabilities was the strongest amongst cultivators. Yet it was also the most difficult and bitter forms of cultivation. Completely dependent on one's own understanding of the sword dao and a great part of such understanding came from actual combat. In other words, sword cultivators were beaten throughout their growth. That is why people rarely choose sword cultivation, even if they do, only a handful persevere till Core Formation and above. This was the reason why sword cultivators were scarce, especially in such a sect of core cultivators, it was almost impossible for sword cultivators to make a mark.
However, a Soul Formation sword cultivator came to their sect, a living one! Those that could breathe.
All the disciples were excited, especially the outer sect disciples and other disciples who weren't core cultivators.
Chapter 657: The Tallest Floating Peak
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were only two Soul Formation Supremacies in the entire Gui Yi Sect, between them, Supremacy Tian Ji never takes in disciples whereas Supremacy Tian Yi's wing is already full of disciples. This sword cultivator supremacy was new, and it seems like he does not have any disciples and only selected two disciples to tidy the place. Then he would be selecting disciples sooner or later, if they could be chosen, just a pointer would be enough for them.
For a while, the entire sect was immersed in the anticipation of that Supremacy recruiting disciples, even the news of Shu Yi becoming Supremacy Tian Ji's personal disciple did not gain much attention.
This anticipation lasted three whole months but that floating peak that had yet to be named did not stir at all. Don't mention selecting disciples, not even a figure left that mountain. There were only rumors that a delectable fragrance could be smelled occasionally from the Dan Xia Mountain beneath, not sure why the reason?
At the mention of Dan Xia Mountain, its peak master Tian Yi was slightly irritated. He knew that there was another Soul Formation Supremacy that came to their doorstep and also learned about what happened at the main peak that day. After all something as big as the Protective Mountain Array being broken in a second, it was impossible that he wouldn't. However, at that time, he was in a hurry to refine pills and seeing that Yu Luan did not activate the communication talisman, he did not rush over.
Later on, when he learned that it was trouble that Tian Ji's careless mouth caused, the more he didn't want to interfere. Though both of them were the only two Soul Formation cultivators of the sect, their relationship wasn't the best. Mainly because Tian Ji was too arrogant and lofty, and always did things his own way because his cultivation was higher, never taking others' thoughts into consideration. When he said he wouldn't take in disciples, he really did not for several thousands of years, when he said he did not want to be a pill refining tool for the sect, he really never made a single pill for the sect all these years.
But Gui Yi Sect needed to operate, there were two of them high level cultivators in the sect, when he refused, the responsibility naturally fell to him. So if he must say he didn't have any grudges at all, it was impossible. Hence, when someone helped to teach this conceited Junior Brother of his a lesson this time, he was rather glad to see it happen and even specially made time to go visit the injured Tian Ji.
There was more or less some joy at the bottom of his heart but extreme joy begets sorrow. Because he realized there was suddenly another floating peak above Dan Xia Mountain, that sword cultivator had brought it here and it floated right above them. At the beginning, he didn't mind, later on, he then realized that he had chosen to stay on Dan Xia Mountain back then because he had taken a fancy to its location.
This Dan Xia Mountain was the tallest, sunlight was abundant and Spirit Qi was rich, most suitable for planting spirit herbs, especially high level spirit herbs. But ever since there was another floating peak above them, though the Spirit Qi wasn't affected, more than half the sunlight was blocked, for days on end, all those precious spirit herbs of his were all droopy, the sight of it made him pained and anxious.
Anger instantly stirred within, no longer able to hold back, he turned and flew towards the floating peak above. So what if he was a sword cultivator, does a high level cultivation mean one can be unreasonable? He arrived above the floating peak filled with rage, then was stunned once he landed.
His eyes widened abruptly at the scene before him and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, could anyone come tell him if he had gone blind?
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
What did he see, everywhere in sight, all over the entire floating peak, was densely grown spirit herbs! And they were high level spirit herbs, a rich Spirit Qi mixed with the fragrance of herbs wafted to him. There was even a number of high-level variant herbs that even he couldn't totally differentiate. Everything before his eyes was the ultimate ideal of core cultivators.
What Dan Xia Mountain, what abundant sunlight, what reason, he wished he could throw all of that off this mountain right now. With such a field of spirit herbs, anything else had to give way.
Tian Yi swallowed with difficulty and gave himself several hard pinches before he confirmed that this wasn't a dream. There were really high level spirit herbs grown everywhere here, every stem was something that a core cultivator dreamed of. Also, he wasn't sure if it was an illusion, though there were many varieties, these spirit herbs were totally disorderly, a stem of level six one on the left, a level seven one on the left, they grew very randomly. Instead of being specially planted, they looked like they'd casually sprouted on their own.
However, he immediately rejected his own guess in the next second, the habits of every spirit herb was different, if they weren't carefully planted, how could so many high level spirit herbs appear all of a sudden.
Could it be that they new Soul Formation cultivator, though was a sword cultivator but also had knowledge of spirit herbs or pill refinement? He felt a burning in his heart at once, feeling even more pressed to meet that fellow Daoist named Yi Qing, no! Junior Brother Yi Qing! After his detailed reasoning, he completely forgot that he was here to stir trouble.
Looking left and right, he was about to go seek out the person but realized that the spirit herbs were grown way too densely, there was no space for him to retreat at all. If he directly mounted his sword, he was afraid he would damage the spirit herbs beside him and stir up the resentment of the sword cultivator he had never met and was stuck in a dilemma. Searching around, he was intending to see if there were anybody else around that could give him a hand, but this was the foot of the mountain, it was empty all around. Besides, he had heard that ever since appearing a few months ago, there were only two other disciples on it besides that Soul Formation sword cultivator.
He panicked, while considering if he should send a voice transmission to his disciples at Dan Xia Mountain below, he suddenly heard a crunch, as if someone was nibbling on something. He paused for a moment and searched for the source of the sound.
He then realized that unsure when, on a rock not too far away, sat a lady, she was holding a red spirit fruit in a hand and taking bites out of it. There was even a water bottle beside her, she stared at him with a slightly bored look, like she had been doing so for a long time.
Tian Yi was delighted, not even having the time to figure out when she appeared, he hurriedly gestured to her. "Lady, that young lady..."
"Me?" Shen Ying faltered and cocked her head to a side.
"Yes yes yes, it's you!" Tian Yi nodded continuously. "Could you come over and pull me out." If she could ride over on a sword and pull him out, they wouldn't damage the spirit herbs around him.
"You're stuck?" Shen Ying asked.
Tian Yi hesitated for a moment but still nodded. "Yes, I'd have to trouble... you young lady."
"Oh."
How troublesome!
Shen Ying exhaled deeply, but still continued crunching on the fruit in her hand, until she finished the fruit and dumped the core. She then shifted her feet and slowly dragged herself up from the rock.
Tian Yi let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was just because she did not know his identity and did not lay it bare either, only saying softly, "Miss you just need..." Yet before he could finish, he saw a scene that broke his heart in the next moment.
That lady bounced off the rock with a leap and left two big holes in the field of spirit herbs, then trudged over patches and patches of spirit herbs. Trampling across a vast area of high level spirit herbs were trampled, then stopped in a spot two steps away from him and graciously reached out a hand still covered with fruit juice to him.
Tian Yi: "..."
Pui...
He instantly felt a mouthful of blood shoot out, a sky dotted with stars filled his vision.
Chapter 658: Floating Peak Full of Spirit Herbs
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Top of the peak.
"Hmm?" Yi Qing glanced at the empty table, putting down the vegetable in his hand, he turned towards Lonemoon at the side and asked, "Where's Master?"
"Just said she was going to water the plants." He replied while controlling the flying sword to bash up Two-Bucks Zuo. "All those newly sprouted spirit herbs on cannot go to waste." With that said, he subconsciously lifted his head to look at the sky and silently cursed a word of bootlicker.
"How long has Master been gone?" Yi Qing frowned!
"About... an hour?" Lonemoon briefly calculated, the corner of his mouth twitched at once and he said, "Knowing her, she has probably lost her way again! It's time for you to go down and pick her up."
Yi Qing expression darkened, his figure darting out and tracing Shen Ying's aura, in moments, he found her at the foot of the mountain. She had a watering can on one hand, her other dragging a ball of something, tugging with each step as she climbed up, every step she took crush a big row of spirit herbs.
At a closer look, he then realized that that was actually a person. Why did one person come down but two returned?
"Master!" Yi Qing immediately went forward.
"Chef." Shen Ying lifted her head for a glance then threw the person she was dragging. "Here!" It was oddly exhausting dragging him.
"This is..." He instinctively took the person, then realized that it was someone familiar, wasn't this the peak master of the Dan Xia Mountain below, Tian Yi?
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"I don't know!" Shen Ying handed the watering can over too. "He said he was stuck and asked me to help, he fainted once I went over, I guess the elderly have weak constitutions!"
"Um..." This is a Soul Formation cultivator.
Chef did not question further and directly lifted up Tian Yi whose hair was messy and clothes in a shabby state from being dragged around. He summoned his flying sword while reminding, "Master, lunch is ready, it's time to eat."
"Lunch!" Shen Ying's eyes lit up, instantly enlivened, she climbed onto the sword. "Quick, go go go!"
The two flew up to the peak, once they landed, Yi Qing conveniently dumped the person in his hands and he happened to land beside Zuo Shuming who was crippled on the ground in a daze, questioning life from all the beatings he had received from Lonemoon.
"What's this?" Lonemoon who took the chance to start eating earlier turned back holding his rice bowl and instantly recognized the person on the ground. "Tian Yi? What happened to him?"
"I'm not sure either." Yi Qing explained, "Seems like it was an agitation that caused a backflow of his Spirit Qi, resulting in him passing out! Nothing serious, he'll wake up once he slowly calms down."
"Agitation can lead to passing out too?" Lonemoon shook his head, indeed core cultivators were just weak. Struck by a sudden thought, he turned towards Shen Ying, "What have you done again?"
"Huh?" Meow meow meow?
"Forget it..." Lonemoon could not be bothered to ask, snatching dishes was more important, he finally got the upper hand today. "F*ck! Chef, why are there more dishes in the kitchen, you manipulative b*tch!"
——————
Tian Yi was merely too pent up at the moment and had some chest pains, he woke soon after. Once he opened his eyes, he saw a disciple lying beside him. Four limbs sprawled out, panting hard, huge droplets of perspiration fell like it was raining. He stared blankly into the air, as if his body was emptied. Several spirit swords still faintly radiating Sword Qi were stuck around him.
Tian Yi was startled and subconsciously sat up. The pupils of the person beside moved, seeming to have darted a look at him but no reaction followed, he continued to pant hard. Before he could figure out what was going on a male voice sounded from behind him, "Hey, finally awake!"
Tian Yi jumped and instinctively searched for the source, only realizing then that there were three people seated behind him. The one on the left was a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in the robes of Gui Yi's disciple uniform, together with the one on the ground beside him, they were probably the two disciples brought to this floating peak. The one in the middle, was the girl he saw earlier who trampled on the fields of high-level spirit herbs earlier. He instantly felt a stabbing pain in his heart and immediately turned to look at the man on the right.
Dressed in blue, pouring tea, he radiated Sword Qi and a faint Soul Formation aura. He instantly understood that this was the Soul Formation sword cultivator who came to them. The agitation in his heart pulled him to his feet as he said, "May I ask if fellow Daoist is Supremacy Yi Qing?"
Yi Qing handed the cup of tea to Shen Ying, then turned back and responded with a "mm".
Tian Yi was even more agitated and went on nervously, "Then may I ask if all those spirit herbs at the foot of the mountain... were... were planted by Supremacy?"
Yi Qing's expression darkened as if he was reminded of something. A while later, he replied with two words. "Sort of!" Accurately speaking, that meddlesome Heavenly Dao had grown them itself.
But the other party's widened, as if he could not suppress his joy. He took a step forward, "Fellow Daoist Yi Qing... no! I should call you Junior Brother Yi Qing now, those spirit..."
"Who's your Junior Brother?!" His expression turned cold as he stood up. Little b*tch don't act chummy, my Master only has one disciple, me.
"Huh?" Tian Yi was stunned, why did he suddenly blow up. But he had to bite the bullet and continue. "Then... Fellow Daoist! Could you sell those spirit herbs at the foot of the mountain? I can pay..."
"Not for sale!" Yi Qing rejected instantly, who would sell it to the little b*tch!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Um..." Tian Yi's face fell at once, he had the great urge to burst into tears. As a core cultivator, he would be lying if he said he wasn't moved upon seeing so many spirit herbs. Besides, many of them were varieties that he had always wanted but never had the opportunity to get his hands on. Initially, he wanted to ask if he would sell him some on the account that they were in the same sect, but he did not expect this new Supremacy to have such an odd temper and directly rejected him.
Yet there were no other ways, they belonged to him after all. It would be fine if he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, at the most he'd just have to pay a bigger price, but he was also a Soul Formation, which Soul Formation Supremacy wasn't worshiped by their sect, unless he was willing, no one could get anything from him.
Tian Yi was miserable all over, growing increasingly anxious as he thought on. "Supremacy Yi Qing, to be honest, some of those spirit herbs are ones that I have been searching for years but never had the chance to see. On the account that we're in the same sect, please just sell me ten, no, five stems! Three would do too! Just give me a price, regardless of how many spirit stones I am willing to pay."
"Not selling!" Yi Qing remained stubborn and looked even more furious.
Instead, Lonemoon's eyes lit up as he watched from the side, spirit stones!
"Ch... Supremacy Yi Qing, on the account that Supremacy Tian Yi is so sincere, just sell him a few stems?" He stood up, though wearing an amiable and mediating expression, he sent a voice transmission in the next second, "Chef, sell it to him!"
"Not selling!" Yi Qing still replied with the two words.
"Damn you." You think it's easy raising a family, what temper are you throwing before such a valuable deal. "Don't make trouble, quickly sell them."
"Not, selling!"
"Your wings are all grown now is it?" Lonemoon pulled a long face, you think I can't make you submit, he turned and glared at the person beside. "Shen Ying, tell him."
"Huh?"
"I've approved the funds for supper!"
Shen Ying was still and turned around in all seriousness. "Chef, sell!"
"Yes Master, no problem Master!"
Lonemoon: "..." Son of a b*tch!
"I'll sell!"
Chapter 659: Business at the Doorstep
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Supremacy Yi Qing, I really need these few stems of spirit herbs, could you... ah? Ah!" Tian Yi who was begging like he was making his last desperate struggles widened his eyes abruptly, a look of disbelief. "You... you've agreed?!"
"Settle the details with Fa... with him!" He pointed to Lonemoon, then picked up the already empty pastry plate on the table and turned to return to the kitchen to wash dishes.
"Sure sure sure!" Tian Yi looked like he had won a big prize and nodded continuously, his mind filled with joy that he was able to receive rare high level spirit herbs, even his gaze when he looked at Lonemoon was shining.
"Supremacy Tian Yi, why don't we head directly to the fields at the foot of the mountain, we can talk as we go?" He took two steps forward and pointed forward.
"That would be great!" Tian Yi naturally wanted to return to the foot of the mountain more than anyone else, he even became more courteous to Lonemoon. "Thank you, Brother!" He did not forget that it was thanks to his interceding that the sword cultivator named Yi Qing agreed to the sale. This showed that he was rather important to that person, though he was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still important to be on good terms.
"You're too polite Supremacy!" Lonemoon returned the bow immediately, then stepped to the side to show the way. "Supremacy, this way, please!"
Hence the two headed down the mountain. In moments, the entire place only had Shen Ying who was sprawled out on the table like mud eating her fruit and half dead Two-Bucks Zuo who had yet to catch his breath.
Zuo Shuming silently peeped in the direction where Lonemoon disappeared in, his mind that was blank for a long time finally came back to its senses. Did Brother Lonemoon have something to attend to that brought him out?
That's wonderful!
He could finally rest for a while, finally no more endless beatings for the entire day, he instantly had the urge to cry, it was great to be alive! His body relaxed at once as he exhaled deeply, but before he finished, a figure appeared before him and an even larger sword appeared.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Supremacy Yi Qing suddenly appeared by his side, glanced at him, then pulled out the spirit sword beside him. "Fa... Lonemoon instructed that I will practice with you this afternoon! Get up, strike!"
Zuo Shuming: "..." Are all of you devils?
Once his words fell, an astonishing aura blasted and threw him into the air. In moments, his entire body was like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, rolling and rolling and rolling on the ground...
——————
"Little Brother, may I know what the Supremacy likes?" Taking the chance of going down the mountain, Tian Yi could not help but ask for information about Yi Qing from Lonemoon. Who knows, if he manages to build a good relationship, he might be able to continue buying spirit herbs here in the future.
Lonemoon's eyes circled as he thought for awhile before replying, "Replying to Supremacy, actually... for someone whose cultivation is already at such a level like my Supremacy and is even a sword cultivator, rarely anything in the world can make him interested now."
"Oh." Tian Yi frowned, that makes things a little troublesome then.
"But... he does have an interest!" Lonemoon's tuned changed, seeing the delight on the other party's face, he then said, "My Supremacy is more special, he doesn't like anything else, only have a sole fondness for spirit stones."
"..." What a unique interest! Who doesn't like spirit stones!
But it was good that he liked spirit stones too, as a level nine alchemist, the one thing he wasn't lacking in was spirit stones. This probably also meant that, as long as he could afford the price, he could continue to purchase spirit herbs.
He instantly felt assured, even his gaze as he looked towards Lonemoon became friendlier, at the thought of something, he directly pulled out a level three top grade artifact and handed it over. "Many thanks for your direction, this spirit sword here is just right for you, please accept it."
Lonemoon took a glance at that level three artifact but did not take it, instead, he asked directly, "Can this be exchanged into spirit stones?"
Tian Yi: "..." Was everyone taught by the sword cultivator all like this? His mouth twitched and he could only bring out a small bag of spirit stones.
"Thank you Supremacy!" Lonemoon took it very straightforwardly, then seeming to be reminded of something a moment later, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Supremacy, to be honest, my Supremacy actually does not know any pill refining techniques, these fields of spirit herbs are also a waste just left like this. You were just unlucky and happened to meet my Supremacy when he was in a bad mood, that was why he kept refusing to sell it to you. If you are sincere in buying, when he's in a better mood a few days later, I can put in a word for you. In time, if you need spirit herbs from this mountain, as long as you have spirit stones, anything can be negotiated.
Tian Yi was instantly overjoyed and grabbed his hand. "Are your words for real!"
"Of course it is!"
"That's great!" He was so agitated that his entire being was shaking, he'd initially thought that getting three stems was good enough, he didn't expect to have the chance to buy more. His gaze shone brightly when he looked at Lonemoon, looking as if he wanted to become sworn brothers with him immediately. "If you really succeed, for anything that you need help with in the future, I will not hesitate to lend a hand!"
"No worries no worries." Lonemoon's smile became even friendlier, his eyes were almost turning into a slit. "Come, let us first talk about the price."
"I'd have to trouble you for everything then."
Two hours later.
Tian Yi carefully held three stems of high-level spirit herbs, an empty storage bag hanging from his pouch as he returned to Dan Xia Mountain with a grin so wide as if he had won the top prize. Once he stepped in, he ordered his personal disciple, "Quick, prepare the alchemy room, I want to begin refining neonate formation pills immediately!"
"Neonate formation pill!" That disciple was shocked too. "Master, you found the Splendor Lingzhi!"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Not only the Splendor Lingzhi!" Tian Yi grinned so widely. "Get moving, this Lingzhi has just been dug out, don't delay the hour!"
"Yes!" The disciple nodded hurriedly and was about to go prepare.
Tian Yi was then reminded of another matter. "Hold on, also go notify Tian Yan Sect to come collect the three Neonate formation pills they asked me three years ago in two weeks time with spirit stones?" One pot could make at least ten pills, he could still afford to give three away.
The disciple nodded.
"Also!" Tian Yi thought for a moment then instructed solemnly, "The deposit that Tian Yan Sect gave the previous time, take it all and send it to the floating peak above, hand to it a young friend named Lonemoon. Bear in mind that the amount cannot be wrong, got it?"
"Yes, Master." The disciple then walked out.
He had come to an agreement with Lonemoon, he would help him to mediate with that Supremacy Yi Qing to get him to sell his spirit herbs. He was so kind to help him, as a Soul Formation cultivator, he naturally couldn't take his favor for nothing. He was initially still thinking for ways to repay him but Lonemoon unexpectedly suggested for him to give him 3% of his earnings made from selling the pills refined using the spirit herbs.
At this point, Tian Yi could not help but sigh, a mere Foundation Establishment disciple, did not ask for technique books or artifacts, only asked for a bit of spirit stones. It must be because he did not want to put him in a difficult spot. Such a great person, his judgment was right indeed.
Supremacy Tian Yi who sees spirit stones as muck and only had his heart on refining pills expresses that, even if the other party's cultivation level is low, he is set on being friends with him. Whoever bullies him in the future would be going against Tian Yi himself!
****
On top of the tallest floating peak.
Ah choo!
Lonemoon who easily made another big sum rubbed his nose, vaguely feeling a chill on his back, hmm, who was talking about him?
"Father Niu, funds for supper!" Shen Ying boldly stretched out her neet 1 claw!
"I got it! When have I not given you your share!" Lonemoon then pulled out a bag of spirit stones and handed it over. Looking around, he asked, "Where's Chef?"
"Went grocery shopping." Shen Ying stuffed the spirit stones into her bag.
"Oh." Lonemoon nodded, he was about to enter the room when he suddenly that something was missing. Giving the courtyard another glance, it then came to his mind. "How about Two-Bucks Zuo?"
"Hanging there!" Shen Ying pointed.
Hanging?
Lonemoon subconsciously looked over, following the direction of her finger and saw that on the huge tree opposite, a piece of human shape cured meat hung from the branches high above, swaying lightly in the wind. Only the whites of his eyes could be seen as he completely passed out. And from the roots of the tree, lots and lots of spirit swords were stuck into it, the one right at the top was snug beside Two-Bucks Zuo's buttocks, as if it was an inch askew, he wouldn't be hanging on the tree but nailed to it.
Lonemoon: "..."
What happened to the training with him? How was this accompanied training, this was obviously a one-sided beating up?
Chapter 660: Yuan Yang's Fiendish Cultivator
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Chef joined Gui Yi Sect, the three of them lived on top of the tallest floating peak. Their task everyday was to beat up... teach and train Two-Bucks Zuo's sword techniques. Initially, Lonemoon had wanted to set up a sword array like he had in the past and leave him to figure it out himself. But Two-Bucks Zuo's foundation was really too weak, on top of that, he only started his sword cultivation after he went into the Foundation Establishment phase and subsequently happened to have an epiphany into late stage Foundation Establishment. If he was thrown into a sword array just like that, he would probably die at the first level, so Lonemoon had no choice but to teach him personally.
Though Two Bucks Zuo's qualifications were poor, he excelled in the sense that he was diligent. Even if he was half dead from the beatings everyday, the next day, he would still come forth miserably with a sword. A few years passed, although his sword techniques still weren't "very touching", at least his resistance to beatings improved quite a bit, he was beginning to have sword cultivators' constitution of tenacity. Lonemoon despite the disdain he showed, still felt a little gratified.
And in recent years, though Two Bucks Zuo's cultivation did not grow much, yet the spirit qi in his body became much firmer, he only lacked an opportunity for his core formation.
Gui Yi Sect's sect master Yu Luan also seemed to have figured out that Yi Qing did not like to be disturbed. Except for his occasional visits at the start, asking Yi Qing if he needed to recruit more disciples, he never mentioned it again after being rejected. Of course, it could also be because they really could not find any other sword cultivating disciples in the sect. Only Tian Yi from Dan Xia Mountain stuck to coming up to visit Lonemoon.
The two became more agreeable the more they chatted, especially Tian Yi, each time, he would look like he wished he could become sworn brothers with Lonemoon immediately as he kept addressing him as Brother Lonemoon. Though he would be cheated of a sum of spirit stones every time, he still took delight in it.
On the contrary, it had gone all quiet on Shu Yi's side, it was said that she went into seclusion after being accepted by Tian Ji. And for Tian Ji, perhaps because he was greatly embarrassed then, he'd also surprising became very low profile. The two never left Dan Xia Mountain again, even the system's little broadcast station rarely broadcast anything.
Just as they thought that a life of eating, sleeping, beating up Two Bucks Zuo, occasionally cheating Tian Yi and eating more was coming, Yu Luan suddenly came to them with a grave expression.
"Fiendish Cultivator Zhong Yi?" Yi Qing frowned.
"That's right!" Yu Luan nodded slightly anxiously. "Five hundred years ago, his Icy Deep Fire once wiped out the entire Sovereign Universe Sect, none of their three thousand disciples escaped. Now that he has appeared once again, I'm afraid he would be wreaking havoc again."
"Sect Master, how can we be sure that it was this person who appeared in Yuan Yang City?" Lonemoon could not help but ask.

"Of course we're sure." Yu Luan glanced at him and sighed. "The Deviant Fire that appeared in the forest outside of Yuan Yang City was exactly the same as the one seen back when Sovereign Universe Sect was wiped out. And three days ago, the peak master of Dan Zhen Mountain, Perfected Yu Zi happened to pass by the area, so he sent a message that he was heading over to do some investigation, but... he never returned." His frown grew deeper, looking very worried.
"How about his life token?"
"His life token did not break." Yu Luan answered, "But his soul lamp is extremely dim, he's probably..." He did not continue on, but it was evident that the other party had gotten into big trouble and probably wouldn't last.
"So you hope Ch... Supremacy Yi Qing can go take a look?" Lonemoon clarified.
Yu Luan nodded and said with some urgency and worry, "Uncle-Master Yi Qing, that Fiendish Cultivator's whereabouts is unpredictable, five hundred years ago, a joint effort of all the sects led to nothing in the search for him. Back then, he'd just become a Nascent Soul, today, we have no idea about the level of his cultivation. Right now in our sect, Uncle-Master Tian Ji is in seclusion, Uncle-Master Tian Yi is in the critical period of pill refinement and cannot call a halt. I could only be so bold as to request for you to go forth."
He stood up and bowed respectfully, then added, "That Zhong Yi must have some motives in suddenly appearing in the boundaries of my Gui Yi Sect. Right now, Perfected Yu Zi's whereabouts is unknown, I also have no choice but..."
Chef turned back and glanced at Lonemoon before replying, "It's not difficult for me to make a trip, but how am I to find that Perfected Yu Zi?" He did not know the person!
Yu Luan was delighted. "This is Junior Brother Yu Zi's life token, a drop of his blood and essence is on it, when you arrive at Yuan Yang City, within a hundred miles' radius, you would be able to sense his location." He said while bringing out a jade token. "With this life token Uncle-Master Yi Qing will definitely be able..."
Before he could finish, a crack suddenly sounded, the life token in his hands was in two pieces, a shred of death Qi floated out of it. Yu Luan instantly became deathly pale, swaying before falling back into his seat. He sighed with a sorrowful look. "Seems like... we were still too late."
The life token was broken, proof that the other party had died.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing also fell into silence, they didn't expect things to become like this!
"I will go take a look at that Yuan Yang City!" Yi Qing replied. The person they were searching for had died, but the matters regarding the Fiendish Cultivator remained unsettled. They were a part of Gui Yi Sect after all, it was only right that they go take a look.
"Thank you Uncle-Master." Yu Luan nodded with a bitter smile, he continued to speak after being struck with a sudden thought. "But there's no hurry, wait for me to select some disciples to go forth together with Uncle-Master."
Yi Qing frowned. "Me alone is enough, no need for anyone else." If there was really a fiendish cultivator, they would be a burden too.
"Uncle-Master you've misunderstood." Yu Luan hurriedly explained. "Many of the people of Yuan Yang City were injured by that Deviant Fire and have become infected with heretic aura. Yuan Yang City is an immortal city under the charge of Gui Yi Sect, we cannot sit by and watch, so I intend on sending a batch of disciples over to help them in eradicating the heretic aura. The journey would be dangerous so I would like to ask Uncle-Master to escort them too."
So that was it.
Yi Qing nodded. "Sure."
"Thank you Uncle-Master!" Yu Luan cupped his fists again, seeming like he hadn't him to be so easygoing. "I shall inform each mountain to select people, all of you will set off tomorrow morning."
With that said, he did not stay longer and flew away, grim-faced.
——————
Yu Luan worked very quickly, perhaps it's because this matter was indeed of great urgency. Once the day broke the next morning, a disciple came forth to inform that they were leaving. Thinking that this was a good training opportunity, Lonemoon brought Two-Bucks Zuo along too.
Once they came close to the gathering point at the main peak, they saw a big group of disciples gathered outside the hall from far, approximately 40 to 50 of them. Most were Golden Core and Foundation Establishment disciples, and one Nascent Soul cultivator leading them. He looked slightly familiar and it turned out to be the peak master of Dan Chen Mountain, Shu Yuan. Lonemoon turned for a look, sure enough, Shu Yi was there too.

"Greetings Uncle-Master Yi Qing!" Shu Yuan respectfully bowed with cupped fists.
The other disciples also greeted him. "Greetings Great Uncle-Master!"
Yuan Yang City nodded, without boarded the spirit boat with everyone else without any dawdling, heading towards Yuan Yang City.
Yuan Yang City wasn't far from Gui Yi Sect, but with so many people traveling by the spirit boat, it would still take around two hours.
Lonemoon subconsciously peeked at that invader, as expected, her gaze would still shift to Zuo Shuming from time to time, her expression extremely complicated, seeming to be disdain, but also coupled with some resentment. No one knew what she was thinking, she didn't turn on her broadcast so they couldn't guess what motives she had too.
"Is this fellow Daoist... Lonemoon?" A disciple suddenly walked over and bowed very politely to Lonemoon. He was dressed in the blue disciple's uniform, a special pattern embroidered on his sleeves, seems like he was a recognized disciple.
"I am!" Lonemoon nodded. "Senior Brother is..."
The other party was delighted and immediately introduced, "I am a disciple of Dan Xia Mountain, Chen Lin! I am here on my Master's orders to hand some items to fellow Daoist Lonemoon."
Lonemoon faltered, Dan Xia Mountain? Tian Yi?
