I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 151 - 126: (Revised) The Entire Sect Wails
Xie Jingshan did not believe it, and Lu Nanzhi was momentarily unable to sort out the thoughts.
Jiang Yuebai handed Xie Jingshan the Jade Scroll of Shooting Puppet Technique obtained from Song Pei’er, letting him see for himself.
While Xie Jingshan was inspecting it, Jiang Yuebai explained Song Pei’er’s situation briefly.
Lu Nanzhi furrowed his brow in thought, "So, you suspect that Shen Huaxi and this Song Pei’er are both people of the Three Elements Sect, both adept in the Shooting Puppet Technique. Shen Huaxi suspects you killed the original Lin Suwan, and is afraid that the affair of the current Lin Suwan will be exposed, so he intentionally approaches you to probe you, and attempts to make puppets to control you?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Exactly."
Xie Jingshan slumped into the chair, his face pale.
"I still can’t believe it. He has never done anything to wrong me, and has even saved me and helped me. Therefore, I..."
The same was true for Lu Nanzhi, "Shen Huaxi is a person who is gentle, respectful, frugal, and willing to help others. For his fellow sect members, he is always diligent and conscientious in helping them whenever he can... In short, let’s first wait for True Monarch Jiuchuan to investigate this matter, and we’ll stand down for the moment and protect Little Bai well."
Jiang Yuebai said, "It’s not just me; you all need to protect yourselves as well. He is a Medical Cultivator; medicine and poison are not distinguished by him. It’s best for you also to prepare some antidotes and anti-poison items, just in case."
Xie Jingshan said absentmindedly, "I am the sole successor of the Xie Family. Since childhood, my Old Ancestor has made many arrangements to prevent me from being schemed against, so you don’t need to worry about me."
Lu Nanzhi also said, "I will be careful."
The indoor atmosphere was cold and silent. Jiang Yuebai used Sword Pill and three Foundation Establishment Elixirs to exchange for the Separation Fire Technique, Faceless Mask, a Talisman Treasure, and the entry-level Cultivation Technique of the Immortal Ganoderma Clan.
The three left the Mountain and Sea Building and returned to the sect along the way, Xie Jingshan remaining silent.
Upon entering the mountain gate, Xie Jingshan took a step forward, Jiang Yuebai worried he might be impulsive, but Lu Nanzhi said that Xie Jingshan is the kind of person who appears rough but is meticulous, assuring not to be concerned.
After bidding farewell to Lu Nanzhi, Jiang Yuebai, heavy-hearted, went to find Lii Jiuchuan at Ten Thousand Laws Hall.
Before Heavenly Cry Peak was repaired, Lii Jiuchuan was still residing in Ten Thousand Laws Hall.
In the small courtyard, the master and disciple sat under the veranda, Jiang Yuebai told Lii Jiuchuan everything.
Lii Jiuchuan placed the hot tea in front of Jiang Yuebai, "Shen Huaxi is currently in seclusion, attempting to break into Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer. I’ve probed at Qing Nangzi’s place and searched Shen Huaxi’s residence under false pretenses, but found nothing. Also, Lin Suwan has vanished into thin air, leaving no trace."
Jiang Yuebai sighed, "Could it be that I really made a mistake? And it’s actually Lin Suwan who has a problem? Just because I saw Shen Huaxi and Lin Suwan close, I suspected Shen Huaxi also had issues?"
Lii Jiuchuan comforted, "You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore; I will definitely investigate it clearly."
"Master, actually I hope I am wrong, so that Xie Jingshan can feel better, because he truly regards Shen Huaxi as a brother."
"Alright, let’s not talk about him. Tell me, what are your plans for what’s next?" Lii Jiuchuan asked.
Jiang Yuebai took a sip of tea, calming himself for a moment.
"Next, I will focus on Alchemy, Cultivation, and Foundation Establishment."
Lii Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Just these three things? Not continuing with Array Dao, Puppetry Path, or anything else?"
"Before, in order to become stronger, to repay grandfather, to chase after... and out of curiosity, I spent too much time learning too many things, only now realizing I was too impatient, afraid of being looked down on for falling behind, afraid of dragging down grandfather, afraid like when I was little, losing learning opportunities at any chance."
"But now I understand, my miscellaneous thoughts are making things difficult for me. Actually, as long as today’s me is stronger than yesterday, it’s enough. For me now, improving my Cultivation to form a Golden Core, breaking the lifespan limit is the most important. When reaching Golden Core Realm, with an additional four hundred years of life, will I be afraid of not having time to learn what I want to learn?"
"Next, I will just focus on Alchemy, other things will follow naturally without forcing. I will concentrate on Cultivation to improve my Realm, aiming for early Foundation Establishment."
Lii Jiuchuan looked at him with praise, "Actually, the reason Cultivation has different branches is because spirit roots are incomplete, unable to learn everything. For example, wood and fire spiritual roots are suitable for Alchemy, and without metal spirit root, Artifact Refining will be inferior. But in Ancient Times, there was no concept of spirit roots; ancient Qi Cultivators were a bit proficient in everything."
"The Cultivation Realm has developed until today, with the human clan flourishing, that affinity spiritual vein within ancient bloodlines has gradually thinned, becoming today’s incomplete spirit roots. Moreover, the theoretical doctrines of each branch have become increasingly complete and complex, making it difficult to master everything in a short time."
"Having Five Spirit Roots is exceptional, allowing one to study all worldly paths; therefore, I do not oppose you learning much, as long as it does not delay the improvement of your Cultivation Realm, you can learn whatever you want. If you cannot continue learning in the future, just decisively abandon it. Someday, with sudden inspiration, you can pick it up to learn again."
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Understood, Master. However, before I put down others to focus on Cultivation and Alchemy, can I clear up the accumulated questions first? Otherwise, I keep thinking about them and can’t calm my mind."
Without saying much, Jiang Yuebai placed the book, even thicker than last time, on the table.
Lii Jiuchuan, unchanged in expression as anticipated, slowly took items from his sleeve.
Five teapots and five tea cans were lined up neatly beside the table.
Jiang Yuebai snickered, taking out two bottles of Fasting Pill, and arranged them on the table too.
Lii Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows, taking out a palm-sized Message Flying Sword, and laid it in a row on the table, shining brightly.
Jiang Yuebai was puzzled, "What is this for?"
"In the past, I couldn’t teach, and could only grit my teeth while teaching. Now that I’m highly respected, I can invite others to teach for you."
Jiang Yuebai cupped his hands, "Master’s high strategy, this disciple acknowledges!"
"Then let’s begin. The first question is, is there a possibility for the Spirit Gathering Array and the Five Elements Replenishing Array to be combined, combining the gentle stability of the Spirit Gathering Array with the Five Elements Replenishing Array’s ability to convert the elements?"
Lii Jiuchuan pondered for a moment, picking up a Flying Sword, leaving a few words on it, and tossed it with a flick.
"Master, this is just the first question, and you’re already calling for reinforcements?"
Lii Jiuchuan added water for tea, "I haven’t really thought about your question before. Spirit Gathering Array is used for everyday Cultivation, while the Five Elements Replenishing Array is used for rapid recovery in Battle Method. They have different application scenarios, why would they need to be combined?"
"Because I’m too lazy to farm and still want money."
"....."

On Heavenly Cry Peak, extensive construction was underway, and within Ten Thousand Laws Hall, Flying Swords traversed back and forth.
Recently, the Library had suddenly become bustling, with several Golden Core Masters coming daily.
Master Lingjun, who teaches Array Dao in the Inner Sect, was invited to visit Lii Jiuchuan, joyfully went, yet returned teary-eyed.
He plunged into the Library and did not come out, reading books together with Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Disciples.
Before long, Master Ancient Spring, proficient in Water Alchemy Method from the Inner Sect, also rushed from Ten Thousand Laws Hall to the Library, claiming he suspected he learned a false Water Alchemy Method.
The Golden Core Masters fear encountering Lii Jiuchuan’s Message Flying Sword, each going well but coming back with ashen faces.
Not only the Golden Core Masters, but Inner Sect’s Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Disciples also wailed in lament.
Because Master Lingjun assigned the disciples under his tutelage to research on merging Spirit Gathering Array and Five Elements Replenishing Array, ultimately solving the challenge and obtaining True Monarch Jiuchuan’s reward, feeling rejuvenated!
Other Masters copied this approach. Throughout the sect, wailing and lamenting were nonstop, and the academic atmosphere was unparalleled.
When Wenn Miao heard of this, she gloated, clapped her hands approvingly.
Saying that they only focused on practicing Cultivation Techniques without Cultivating their heart knowledge, they deserved to be tormented!
Half a month later, Jiang Yuebai closed the final page, suppressing new questions that arose with problem-solving, telling himself not to rush, closed his eyes to savor various learnings, emanating extraordinary spiritual resonance.
Lii Jiuchuan rubbed his dark circles, pushing a token towards Jiang Yuebai, with a hoarse voice. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Here is the Ten Thousand Laws Hall Token promised by Sect Master to you. In the days ahead, you will self-study at Ten Thousand Laws Hall. I... need two days of peace."
Jiang Yuebai secured the token, taking out a new Jade Scroll to jot down a line.
[Horse Year, September 9th, Double Ninth Festival]
[By next year at the latest, I, Jiang Yuebai, will definitely achieve Flawless Foundation Establishment!]
