I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 92 - 80: (Revised) Please Get Off

The sky is cloudless, a wash of clear blue.

The Crossing Goose glides calmly at high altitude, Yun Shang sits upright in the front holding a little monkey, feeling tense, all because the girl behind her lazily half-lies down, refusing to leave.

Yun Shang is conflicted inside, unsure whether she should actively start a conversation with Jiang Yuebai.

If she talks, she doesn’t know what to say, if she doesn’t, they are sect mates; will she misunderstand and think Yun Shang dislikes her?

Ah, so frustrating!

In order to quickly get rid of Jiang Yuebai, Yun Shang pats the bald Crossing Goose underneath, urging it to fly faster.

The Crossing Goose accelerates, but Jiang Yuebai remains oblivious, full of worries.

After staying at Wuwei Temple for a month, the Daoist Ancestor statue and the Communication Array were finally set up, but the Tiger Demon never showed up, so Zhao Wude couldn’t insist on keeping Jiang Yuebai and Yun Shang for protection.

Jiang Yuebai left a Talisman Array and returned to the sect with Yun Shang. On the way, she visited the workshop, disguised, and sold all the items related to Lin Suwan and things she couldn’t use, and also inquired about the price of Spiritual Beast Blood.

Sure enough, the blood of a Golden Core Stage Spiritual Beast costs five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per gourd.

Jiang Yuebai estimated that even if her Water Alchemy Method matured, the Spirit Stones she had could only buy two kinds, ensuring that she could refine two Five Elements Foundation Establishment Elixirs despite necessary expenses.

If she bought everything, she’d need to earn six thousand more Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, that is over sixty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Foundation Establishment costs millions; won’t Core Formation in the future be astronomical? She worked at the Yin Mountain Mine for five years and never mined millions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Thinking about these made Jiang Yuebai dizzy and weak-legged, unable to use Sword Control, so she stayed on Yun Shang’s Crossing Goose.

Spiritual Beast Blood hasn’t been bought yet, but she bought seedlings of forty-five auxiliary medicines back and purchased a Ninth-Grade Elixir Furnace "Green Frost Cauldron" suitable for Water Alchemy Method and a Ninth-Grade Elixir Furnace "Separation Fire Cauldron" for Fire Refining, Yuan Nourishing Elixir and Dust Suppressing Elixir materials a hundred portions each.

The Yuan Nourishing Elixir is a Ninth-Grade Fire Refining Elixir, its function need not be overly explained; she decided to use it appropriately to assist cultivation. Previously, she never consumed Elixirs, only in the latter stage of Qi Refinement Realm did she use it, not much was wrong.

Cultivation cannot be entirely smooth, some prices must be paid, no need to be overly sensitive, or weigh gains and losses.

Besides, if she can refine Ninth-Grade Upper-Level Yuan Nourishing Elixir, there will be no Elixir Poison, and she could take them freely.

The Dust Suppressing Elixir is a Ninth-Grade Water Refining Elixir, long-term consumption can remove bodily impurities and can be used for removing Elixir Poison.

Many cultivators who rely on Elixirs to improve their cultivation commonly stock Dust Suppressing Elixirs, taking one or two to detoxify.

As to the effect, Jiang Yuebai was still confused, it was perhaps worthwhile.

Spiritual Beast Blood apart from buying can be acquired within the sect.

The Water Alchemy Method is yet to mature, and it needs years to reach Ninth-Level Qi Cultivation Perfection, so no rush, maybe during these years she can accumulate enough Spirit Stones or Contribution Points to purchase or exchange within the sect.

With a plan set, Jiang Yuebai revived her spirit to sit up and poked Yun Shang’s back.

"Senior Sister Yun, by your appearance you should be proficient in the Path of Beast Tamer, right? I want to inquire, how many Golden Core Stage Spiritual Beasts are there in our sect?"

Yun Shang did not turn her head, answering quietly, "Spiritual Beasts after Golden Core Stage also have honorific titles; the Golden Core Stage Demon Lords in the sect are conferred by the sect, not to be addressed lightly."

"Now there are six Golden Core Stage Demon Lords in the sect, the Mountain Lord Qionglin of Gourd Valley entrance in Ten Thousand Laws Hall, the White-Tailed Phoenix Lord under Heavenly Leisure Peak of the Supreme Elder, the remaining four belong to Law Enforcement Hall, respectively guarding Heavenly Sin Peak and Heavenly Prison Peak, I have not seen them." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Jiang Yuebai nodded, seeming pensive.

Yun Shang glanced back, thinking she proactively spoke to herself probably didn’t look down on her; perhaps she should try to initiate conversation.

After a moment’s dilemma, Yun Shang, blushing and mustering courage, asked, "Would you... want to raise a Spiritual Beast?"

"No, no," Jiang Yuebai quickly waved her hand, "I don’t even have enough time for myself, where would I have time to attend to a Spiritual Beast’s food, drink, and excretion."

Still, Little Green is good, no need to care for it, it won’t starve even if it doesn’t eat.

Feeling rejected, Yun Shang lowered her head feeling defeated, twisting her clothes.

Jiang Yuebai noticed and felt Yun Shang’s character was a bit sensitive, but she wasn’t bad; she could tell from her earlier offering of Spiritual Beast for protection.

Turning her eyes, Jiang Yuebai spotted a chance, "Although I don’t raise Spiritual Beasts, I am a Spiritual Cultivation Master, overseeing fifteen hundred mu of Spiritual Field at Huaxi Valley, going back I’d need flip the soil and plant the Spiritual Medicine, does Senior Sister Yun have any Spiritual Beasts to help in the field?"

Yun Shang’s eyes brightened slightly, "Yes, I used to feed the earthworms to the Flame Bright Pheasant as snacks, if you want it, I can let it eat less, no, I can have it intimidate and control the earthworms to flip ground for you, if you surely find its work good, you might keep it."

"What benefit earthworm has in flipping ground?"

"Naturally more, though earthworm flipping isn’t as uniform as Earth-Shaking Technique, its excrement is the best fertilizer for Spiritual Field, can eat little bugs in Spiritual Field soil and on Spirit Plant roots, many Spiritual Cultivators keep earthworms."

Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Is the Flame Bright Pheasant tasty?"

At the sound, Yun Shang turned abruptly, face flushed, "The Flame Bright Pheasant can control earthworms to help with work, how can you eat it!!"

"Pfft～"

Jiang Yuebai restrained laughter, Yun Shang turned redder, angrily turned away, and the little monkey in her arms grinned fiercely.

"We won’t talk to her anymore."

Jiang Yuebai stopped talking, "Not teasing anymore, I discovered you aren’t bad at conversation either, your eyes light up and are quite talkative whenever you mention Spiritual Beasts."

Yun Shang pursed lips remaining silent, Jiang Yuebai tugged her sleeve, dodging annoyedly.

"I’m just joking with you, I won’t eat your Flame Bright Pheasant, once we return, how many Flame Bright Pheasants and earthworms you have, I want them all."

"Really?" Yun Shang was half doubtful.

Jiang Yuebai nodded "Really, I’m a bit troubled here, might not recruit Spiritual Cultivators, although I have Earth-Shaking Technique, yet fifteen hundred mu is too much, must find other ways to flip ground."

"I can lend them, but you must pay a wage to the Flame Bright Pheasant, I give you how many, you must return as many, otherwise I... won’t let you off."

"Fine."

As the gentle breeze continued, Jiang Yuebai and Yun Shang bargained about wages, gradually removing the barrier between them.

Growing familiar, Jiang Yuebai found Yun Shang’s outward timidity, inner vivacity, indeed a contradiction and somewhat peculiar.

Once the Flame Bright Pheasant topic ended, Jiang Yuebai stretched yawning.

Yun Shang bit her lip slightly and asked, "Do you think the Spiritual Beasts by my side are ugly?"

Jiang Yuebai rolled her neck glancing at the bald little monkey in her arms, then at the bald Crossing Goose underneath, honestly, "Naturally ugly."

Gigi!

The little monkey cried sorrowfully, burying its head in Yun Shang’s bosom, Yun Shang got angry turning her face red.

"I... I won’t speak to you anymore."

Jiang Yuebai tugged Yun Shang’s sleeve again.

"Hey, hey, hey, I’m normal, these Spiritual Beasts are indeed ugly, I’m not trying to flatter you, why speak against my conscience? Do you just like hearing lies?"

Yun Shang paused, blinking her peach blossom eyes, appearing to... make sense.

"I speak honestly, not to flatter you, but not maliciously, rather you’re feeling self-conscious because they’re ugly, believe they’ll be disliked and rejected, following them in feeling inferior, concerning other’s eyes."

Gigi?

The little monkey looked up at Yun Shang, full of doubt, Yun Shang frowned squeezing her fists, whispering, "I don’t concern myself, you know nothing..."

Jiang Yuebai leaned closer, "If I want to know, would you tell me? Anyway, the way back is long, we can chat slowly, let’s start with Uncle Yuu Qiuqi, ok?"

Yun Shang turned sharply watching Jiang Yuebai, "You really admire Yuu Qiuqi?"

"She’s Foundation Establishment’s top combatant, of course, I admire her, and back then my family perished due to Drought Demon chaos, Uncle Yuu Qiuqi and Ancient Spring Master eliminated the Drought Demon, avenging me, giving me gratitude."

"Heh～ it’s true everyone only remembers her glorious deeds."

Yun Shang suddenly changed, her entire aura cooled down, distancing herself vastly.

"My Crossing Goose doesn’t welcome you, please leave, immediately!"
