I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 94 - 82: Grace of Rebirth
Inner Affairs Hall, Jiang Yuebai absentmindedly handed in the task and received one hundred contribution points.
"Senior Sister Jiang, your recruitment order still hasn’t gotten any responses." Ma Feng cautiously reported to Jiang Yuebai.
"Oh?" Jiang Yuebai snapped back to attention, "It’s fine. Just leave the recruitment order as it is."
Ma Feng frowned, wanting to persuade her, but Jiang Yuebai took the token and left.
"Knowing full well that someone is making things difficult, yet still offering yourself up to be hit. Truly don’t know what she’s thinking."
Jiang Yuebai left the Inner Affairs Hall. Under the bright sun of the day, she still felt a chilling coldness all over her body.
Lin Suwan was truly dead, her soul taken by Little Green. There was no way she could be resurrected.
So who is currently in Lin Suwan’s body?
What is Shen Huaxi planning?
It seemed she had unwittingly gotten embroiled in some conspiracy. After much thought, Jiang Yuebai decided to find Lii Jiuchuan.
When speaking, she must include the matter of her killing Lin Suwan. Hong Tao’s abilities were limited; she couldn’t drag him into this. At this time within the sect, the only person she could trust was Lii Jiuchuan.
Rushing to the Ten Thousand Laws Hall, Jiang Yuebai had not yet entered when she ran into Li Xuanji hurrying back from outside.
"Nephew Jiang, are you here to see Master Jiuchuan again?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded.
"He’s not at the Ten Thousand Laws Hall; he went to the Supreme Elder a few days ago. He’s probably preparing for Shattering Elixir and Rebuilding, alas... a narrow escape from death..."
Li Xuanji sighed and hurried into the valley.
Jiang Yuebai was shocked, subconsciously pressing her belt.
There were still remnants of the lifebound magic treasure refined by Wuwei Mountain Man there. Perhaps Lii Jiuchuan didn’t need to go through Shattering Elixir and Rebuilding.
Roar!!
Mountain Lord Qionglin sprang out of the woods, about to tease Jiang Yuebai, but she pressed his tiger head with one hand.
Mountain Lord Qionglin: ......
"Mountain Lord, help me. I need to find Elder Lii immediately. He cannot shatter his elixir, I have a way to help him!"
No matter what, she had to try.
Upon hearing about Lii Jiuchuan, Mountain Lord Qionglin dared not delay. He nudged Jiang Yuebai onto his back to ride backward and immediately soared into the air, racing toward Heavenly Leisure Peak at lightning speed.
"Mountain Lord, wait for me to secure myself before you start running! I’m going to fall off!!"
Howl——
...
On Heavenly Leisure Peak.
Overgrown with weeds, the trees were wildly grown, obscuring any paths; even the main hall was covered by climbing plants.
It was like an ancient ruin long abandoned by humans, with decaying objects everywhere alongside small animals foraging.
Lii Jiuchuan parted the waist-high wild grass, emerging from his closed cultivation spot, and saw a scruffy woman lying on a vine chair under a tree, her arms as her pillow, her face flushed with drunkenness.
As her mouth opened, the two birds hovering above her lowered a wine gourd, pouring the liquid into her mouth.
"In life, one must drink with delight, waste not the spring time nor oneself, hic～"
Lii Jiuchuan frowned, forcing himself to endure the discomfort as he walked over.
"Supreme Elder, if you’re too lazy to tidy up Heavenly Leisure Peak, how about I find someone to at least trim some of these weeds and vines?"
Wenn Miao shot Lii Jiuchuan a glance and replied lazily, "I find this doghouse quite comfortable, no need for tidying. Have you finished regulating your breath?"
Lii Jiuchuan nodded, "Yes, I’m prepared. I request the Supreme Elder’s help to shatter my elixir."
Wenn Miao took a swig of wine, sat up, stretched lazily, yawned, and raised her hand to pull over an old shoe from the grass to put on.
"Let me cast a divination first, to see if today is an auspicious day."
Wenn Miao pulled out turtle shell copper coins and shook them for divination. Lii Jiuchuan noticed her mismatched shoes and twitched at the temples.
The reason he never wanted to join Heavenly Leisure Peak back then was largely due to the environment here.
Clearly, they were sisters. The elder sister Wenn Ci, as Sect Master, loved planting flowers and raising birds; Heavenly Chief Peak was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers everywhere.
The younger sister Wenn Miao indulged in laziness, loved drinking and divination, and cared about nothing else. She also disliked having anyone around to serve her.
Lii Jiuchuan knew the sisters were close. Wenn Miao stayed in the Heavenly Interence Sect as Supreme Elder to accompany her sister Wenn Ci, fearing her sister, lacking background, would struggle to command respect as Sect Master. Otherwise, Wenn Miao would have long reached Divinity Transformation and gone to the Upper Realm to continue her cultivation, not needing to suppress her cultivation to stay here.
The position of Sect Master, busy with affairs, required being extremely resourceful, thus greatly delaying one’s cultivation. The position of Sect Master of the Heavenly Interence Sect was always held by a Nascent Soul True Monarch without hopes of reaching Divinity Transformation.
Giving up the longing for advancement, wholeheartedly managing the sect.
"Hmm? Why does the divination show that today, not only will your elixir not shatter, but also there’s a sign of overcoming difficulties, soaring high?"
Roar!!
A tiger’s roar sounded, causing both to look up, seeing a white tiger approaching through the air with great momentum.
A phoenix’s cry followed, and a white-feathered phoenix soared out of the mountain forest to intercept the white tiger.
Mountain Lord Qionglin roared, and with a swing of its paw, knocked the White Feathered Phoenix out of the air.
"Audacious beast!"
Wenn Miao was furious, the surrounding grass and trees soared, their imposing presence directly confronting the Mountain Lord’s face.
"Hold on!"
"Mountain Lord, be careful!"
Lii Jiuchuan waved his hand to stop, and a maiden leapt out from behind the Mountain Lord. Nine Golden Light Talismans unfurled in an instant, forming a Golden Light Array to shield against the attack.
Seeing the token at Jiang Yuebai’s waist, Wenn Miao relaxed her expression slightly, and the flying needles of grass and trees that threatened to strike her face gently tapped onto the Golden Light Array.
Jiang Yuebai was covered in cold sweat, intimidated by that momentum just now. Though it was merely blades of grass, she felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness, as if facing the Five Great Mountains.
Mountain Lord Qionglin shot Jiang Yuebai a glance, breaking her Golden Light Array with a claw, Jiang Yuebai realized afterwards.
"Ah, I forgot you are a Golden Core Stage Tiger Demon, you don’t need my protection at all."
"You two, come over here immediately!"
Wenn Miao shouted severely, her voice thunderous, causing Mountain Lord Qionglin to immediately droop his head in submission.
Carrying Jiang Yuebai, he approached Wenn Miao and Lii Jiuchuan, then knelt down, tucking his head on the ground without daring to rise.
Wenn Miao gave him a brief glance, her gaze fixed on Jiang Yuebai, "Why did you forcefully trespass Heavenly Leisure Peak?"
Jiang Yuebai fell to her knees with a thud. Despite the Supreme Elder doing nothing, merely questioning in a deep voice, she felt as if she couldn’t breathe.
Lii Jiuchuan hurriedly explained, "Supreme Elder, she is..."
"Let her speak for herself."
Jiang Yuebai steadied her mind, telling herself not to be afraid, and softly said, "I found the remnants of Wuwei Mountain Man’s Lifebound Magic Treasure."
Once she spoke, both Wenn Miao and Lii Jiuchuan widened their eyes, with Wenn Miao more excited than Lii Jiuchuan, immediately restraining her aura.
"Show it to me."
Jiang Yuebai took out a discarded Glazed Lotus Platform from her belt and handed it over with both hands.
Wenn Miao inspected the Glazed Lotus Platform, while Lii Jiuchuan helped Jiang Yuebai up, asking with concern, "Are you injured?"
Jiang Yuebai looked at him and shook her head.
Lii Jiuchuan felt relieved, "That’s good, next time don’t be so reckless, find someone to announce your arrival..."
Lii Jiuchuan paused, realizing that Heavenly Leisure Peak indeed had no disciples guarding the mountain, hence no way to announce her arrival, explaining why she had to break in with Mountain Lord Qionglin.
"Lii Jiuchuan, you lucky rascal!"
Wenn Miao did not hide the joy in her eyes, holding the Glazed Lotus Platform before Lii Jiuchuan.
"This indeed is an abandoned Lifebound Magic Treasure of a Golden Core Cultivator, just needs some effort to dismantle, and you’ll find a way to repair your Lifebound Magic Treasure, you rascal..."
Wenn Miao glanced at Jiang Yuebai, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
Upon hearing it was useful, Jiang Yuebai promptly took out the remaining Glazed Lotus Platforms, dumping them all into Lii Jiuchuan’s arms.
"These are all."
Lii Jiuchuan was stunned, staring at Jiang Yuebai’s cheerful eyes, feeling a warm surge and mixed emotions within. Never did he imagine that the greatest challenge of his life would be resolved by this girl.
"Little girl, what’s your name?" Wenn Miao’s voice softened slightly.
"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, disciple Jiang Yuebai."
"Five Spirit Roots?"
"Indeed."
"Not bad, you’ve got the style of this rascal back in the day." Wenn Miao glanced at Lii Jiuchuan, "Rascal, remember this, if this succeeds in repair, you owe this girl a debt as profound as rebirth, enough for you to repay for a lifetime."
Lii Jiuchuan stowed away the Glazed Lotus Platforms in his arms, organized his attire, and solemnly bowed deeply.
"A debt as profound as rebirth, Jiuchuan offers his gratitude."
Jiang Yuebai was flattered, startled, and withdrew, waving her hands, "Elder Lii’s debt of rebirth to me is more significant, please rise, I can’t accept this."
Wenn Miao chuckled softly, turned and led the way.
"Take the items and follow me out of the Sect to find Madman Tianbao, the artifact refiner, little girl, when we return, you’ll be rewarded properly."
Jiang Yuebai hesitated but stopped, Lii Jiuchuan noticed.
"Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled and shook her head, "No, I hope everything proceeds smoothly for you."
Lii Jiuchuan took off his token and handed it to Jiang Yuebai, "I will be away for a long time, if you’re in difficulty, you may act in my name. Though I’m merely a Golden Core Master, Sect Master will show me some consideration."
Jiang Yuebai accepted the token with both hands, "Alright."
"Mountain Lord Qionglin, I’ll trouble you to look after this young girl for me."
Howl～～
Lii Jiuchuan’s smile was profound and warm, he gave Jiang Yuebai a long look and followed after Wenn Miao.
Clad in green robes, elegant and refined, navigating through fields, cutting through thorns towards the mountain’s summit, towards the sun and moon.
