I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 68 - 58: (Revised) Cloud Thunder Break

Jiang Yuebai inquired Ciu Sheng and found out that Hong Tao had visited once three years ago, Li Jiuchuan had come once as well, while Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan came annually.

A warm current surged from a place deep in her heart, dispelling the chill of the place.

Cui Sheng was in a state of awe and fear, realizing that Jiang Yuebai indeed had backing in the sect—by a Golden Core Master, a Lu Family prodigy—and dared not neglect her, personally helping Jiang Yuebai with the procedures to leave the mine.

"Junior Sister Jiang, though you have connections in the sect... the rules of our Yin Mountain Mine cannot be broken. You are just a few days short of five years in the mine. To remove the restriction and leave, you need to pay 182,000 low-grade Spirit Stones."

Cui Sheng was sweating a bit; he had never seen anyone pay that much Spirit Stone in one go.

Those who were punished to come here were disciples who had made mistakes not serious enough for death, and those who volunteered. Ninety percent of the disciples struggle to leave once here.

Especially now that the mineral vein has dried up these past two years. Forget about a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones a day; even fifty can’t be extracted.

Jiang Yuebai had survived down there for five years, barely scraping by; she likely couldn’t even secure a mining spot.

"If you can’t pay, it’s alright. We can wait for that one from the Lu Family to assist you..."

Bang!

Four storage bags were thrown onto the table, one filled with exactly 50,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.

"Count them, it should be just enough."

Cui Sheng’s eyes were about to pop out in shock as he swallowed with difficulty, picked up the storage bag, and began counting with his Divine Sense.

After a while, Cui Sheng beamed with joy, "It’s enough, not one less. Junior Sister Jiang is truly a remarkable person. In five years, not only did she cultivate successfully, but she also mined a lot, truly..."

"Give me back the storage bag."

"Ah?"

Cui Sheng was momentarily stunned, quickly saying: "Okay, okay. Junior Sister Jiang, please wait a moment." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In the waiting time, Jiang Yuebai looked around; many envied and also resented her, some were even slandering, likely claiming she was able to leave because she had backing.

Jiang Yuebai smiled indifferently.

After handling the trivial matters, she removed the restriction. Jiang Yuebai asked where the nearest market was and hurried to leave the Yin Mountain Mine.

Stepping out of the barrier, she tossed out the Flying Core Boat, against the fierce wind and waves, rushing into the wide world.

The Seventh-Grade Flying Magical Artifact sped like electricity. Jiang Yuebai deliberately slowed it down, flying at a leisurely pace towards the nearby Luojiang Market.

First time steering this upturned boat, she looked around it; intricately carved beams painted rafters, refined yet grand.

The boat traveled mid-air, isolated from the fierce wind, quietly stable without any bumpiness, also equipped with a protective array, very nice.

Jiang Yuebai sat cross-legged at the boat’s bow, seeing magnificent mountains and rivers, clouds and sea tumbling, a great river winding in the distance, upstream was Cang Country Fulong River.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yuebai slightly tilted her ear, using her Divine Sense to probe behind, detecting someone tailing her.

Her eyes stirred slightly, Jiang Yuebai steered the boat towards the woods below.

Two late-stage Qi Cultivation male cultivators chased to the edge of the woods, not seeing Jiang Yuebai’s figure.

"After guarding for so long, finally seeing her come out, and she’s gone?"

"Don’t worry, search the woods, absolutely cannot let her return to the Heavenly Interence Sect."

"This job is really frustrating, standing outside the mine eating sand daily, and that one only paid 5,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, such a loss!"

"To capture a Qi Cultivation stage girl, how much do you expect? Besides, since she could leave the mine, she surely has Spirit Stones on her, won’t be a loss. Just be careful, don’t kill her, break her limbs and seal her Dantian, that’s enough. That person wants her alive."

"Got it."

Rustling trees, the shadows of the trees covered, a melody suddenly emerged within the slowly blowing wind, mournful and distant.

Like a thousand years of sorrow, breaking one’s heart.

The two’s blood surged, Divine Sense shook, mind disordered.

The person at Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer still managed to resist, but the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer male cultivator beside him immediately swung a big knife, mad and uncontrollable.

"Ah ah ah!!"

"What are you doing!"

One tried to kill, the other retreated; Jiang Yuebai held the White Jade Ocarina, hiding in the tree with indifferent eyes, slowly and leisurely playing the Chaotic Soul Technique.

Leaves fell, the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer male cultivator gave a sharp blow to his companion, then managed to seal his own hearing acupoint.

The two fell to the ground gasping, not seeing their target, causing great harm to themselves.

Jiang Yuebai curled her lips, put away the White Jade Ocarina, and leapt down from the tree. Chaotic Soul Technique worked best only when unforeseen; once anticipated, it lost most of its effect.

She had already heard what they just said; the one who wanted to capture her alive was naturally Jia Xiuchun. Five years had passed, and still thinking of her.

Just right, she was also thinking of her.

The two on the ground saw clearly Jiang Yuebai’s Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivation, robust momentum, and retreated in fear.

"We have eyes but failed to see Mount Tai, offended you today, we’ll leave right now."

Better a coward than a dead hero, the two supported each other, intending to escape.

"Hold on, seeing you both so confused, how about a rain to clear your minds?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yuebai formed a spell with her hand, illusion light flowed, and within a breath, mist rose in the forest, and torrential rain poured down.

The two hurriedly tried to dodge, but the rain was too heavy and drenched them completely.

Not seeing anything strange in the rain, the two were baffled, Jiang Yuebai softly uttered a word.

"Break!"

Boom!

Thunder erupted from the clouds, and countless raindrops transformed into golden needles, attracting the lightning from the clouds in an instant explosion.

It became a vast sea, silver light dazzling.

The two were horrified, throwing out all their treasured talismans and magic treasures.

The sea of lightning swallowed everything, the electric tide surged, and the arcs splashed beautifully.

Once everything fell silent, the mist retreated, and the forest was charred, with only small arcs sparking on the surrounding dead trees.

Without Jiang Yuebai’s call, Little Green came out to collect the souls.

"The storage bags were struck to ashes, what a pity."

Little Green flew in, revealing two words on the lantern.

[So strong]

Jiang Yuebai drank to restore spiritual energy, summoned the Flying Core Boat, and continued on her journey.

Cloud Thunder Break, like Broken Water Three Blades, are both deadly moves; with one strike, the golden water spiritual energy and the thunder walking divine sense were completely drained.

Spiritual energy could quickly recover with spiritual wine, but the divine sense required Little Green to refine souls to slowly recover.

Heading east for three days, no longer seeing anyone trailing them, smoothly arriving at Luojiang Market.

Disguising and changing clothes, posing as a dark-skinned young man, Jiang Yuebai entered the market.

This place is by the river, with many tower ships and painted boats docked, very bustling.

The market is governed by Liuyun Sect, and many of the sect’s cultivators are water controllers, many of whom, like Jiang Yuebai, have gourds hanging from their waists.

However, instead of wine, their gourds contain various kinds of spiritual water.

The spiritual beasts sold on the streets are mostly crabs, turtles, and Jiang carp wrapped in water bubbles, floating in the air for people to choose from.

"Crab roe buns, steaming hot crab roe buns, would the customer like one?"

"I’ll try one and ask, which is the largest business here?"

"Mountain and Sea Building, just around the corner, the first business in the Earth Spiritual Realm, good value, fair trade, never cheats customers, your bun, three spiritual pearls."

"Thank you."

Jiang Yuebai took the bun and paid with spiritual pearls, eating while heading towards the Mountain and Sea Building.

Spiritual pearls are ground from the leftover low-grade spirit stones, mostly circulated among mortals and low-level Qi Cultivation practitioners, being excellent for buying treats and small items.

Having eaten fasting pills, spiritual grain rice, and bland monster meat for five years, the greasy big bun almost made Jiang Yuebai swallow her tongue along with it.

Finishing one, still unsatisfied, Jiang Yuebai looked back at the bun stall, deciding to handle the items on her before going back to buy ten more.

"Strictly business, no meddling in other matters, Mountain and Sea Building seems decent."

After reading the signboard, Jiang Yuebai stepped into the Mountain and Sea Building and requested a Quiet Room for a private transaction.

A young male appraiser came in, and Jiang Yuebai, like performing a magic trick, pulled out one storage bag after another from various places on her person.

A total of thirteen storage bags piled on the table, she picked up the osmanthus cake from the table, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in delight.

"Sell everything inside, then I want to buy a gun, two cross-blades, talisman paper, talismanic sand, blank array plates, and array flags."

After speaking, Jiang Yuebai looked up and found the appraiser very calm, nodding in approval.

As expected of the top business in the Cultivation Realm, they must have seen many wealthy individuals; her items are insignificant to them.

All the spirit stones, mid-grade and above talismans, thorn seeds, and homemade puppets, as well as common items, were stored in Xie Jingshan’s jade ring.

Other useless monster materials, old magic artifacts, low-grade talismans, etc., Jiang Yuebai decided to cleanly convert them into things she needed.

"This is the list of magical artifacts, materials, and jade scrolls usable by Qi Cultivation cultivators in our store; you may view it first, and if you need Foundation Establishment level items, just let us know."

The appraiser presented a jade scroll, calmly took the storage bags, and registered them with a recording servant nearby.

Jiang Yuebai picked up the list jade scroll and browsed it, first checking the storage magic treasures; she plans to return the jade ring to Xie Jingshan.

At a glance, Jiang Yuebai nearly dropped the jade scroll to the ground; she thought her five-year accumulation of over five thousand mid-grade spirit stones was wealth, yet the price of any storage magic treasure was three to five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

The same style ring as Xie Jingshan’s, seven thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Jiang Yuebai’s previously proud posture immediately restrained a few degrees, quietly gritting her teeth, damn Cultivation Realm, she might as well continue stuffing storage bags all over herself.

"Hm, there’s so many puppet diagrams here? Cloud Lark Puppet, capable of flight detection, image viewing and recording, and self-detonation, not bad!"
