I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 99 - 87: (Revised) He Threatened Me

"It’s me, Junior Sister Jiang, do you have any advice for me?"

Xiao Ankuo appeared respectful but actually looked down on Jiang Yuebai. Due to her status as an Inner Sect Disciple, he had been avoiding direct confrontation recently.

Jiang Yuebai’s gaze was sharp, the Heavenly Eye Technique scanning through, revealing Xiao Ankuo’s Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, with his two subordinates both at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.

"I wouldn’t call it advice, but I do have a question for Brother Xiao. Why are you hindering the sect’s Spiritual Cultivators from joining my Huaxi Valley?"

Xiao Ankuo, surprised, said, "What are you talking about, Junior Sister Jiang? You’re really accusing me wrongly. How could I have such authority to block the sect’s Spiritual Cultivators? Where did this rumor come from? Once I find the source, I certainly won’t let it go lightly."

"In that case, I wish to borrow a hundred Spiritual Cultivators from you. Brother Xiao, would you agree to lend them to me?"

Xiao Ankuo replied with difficulty, "It’s not that I don’t want to help Junior Sister, but I really don’t have the manpower to spare. Perhaps Junior Sister could think of another way. Oh my, look at my brain; if the Spiritual Cultivators don’t want to go to Huaxi Valley, the Spiritual Beasts and Spiritual Insects in Spiritual Beast Valley that can be used for farming have already been reserved by people from other valleys."

"I came today to take the last batch of Spiritual Insects that can be used for tilling, such misfortune. Junior Sister has neither men nor beasts now. I’m afraid this land really can’t be cultivated. Even with your Spiritual Cultivation Magical Technique at Five Layers, what can you do?"

"So you’re just going to cultivate the land and not cultivate your level? Let me give you some advice, don’t waste your time on Huaxi Valley. Just be content with being an Inner Sect Disciple. Losing both your wife and army it’s a small matter; losing a great future would be unfortunate."

"Are you threatening me?"

"How would I dare? I’m just looking out for you."

Jiang Yuebai lowered her eyes, "I’m not in a good mood today."

"Huh?" Xiao Ankuo looked puzzled.

"So... you are threatening me!"

Jiang Yuebai lifted her gaze, cold air radiated from her eyes. She took out the Eight Arrays Plate from behind her back and activated it instantly.

Xiao Ankuo and his two subordinates didn’t have time to react before being engulfed by a large swath of white mist, disappearing into the Illusion Array.

The gray-clad girl kneeling beside, and the servants of the Spiritual Beast Valley watching from afar, all stared at Jiang Yuebai in shock.

Jiang Yuebai wore an expression of pride, straightened the white jade token by her waist, and explained lightly to the surroundings.

"He threatened me."

The onlookers shifted their gaze to the ground, then turned around and left, not daring to watch, even the surrounding Spiritual Beasts were driven away, fearing they’d incur the wrath of this ill-tempered Inner Sect Disciple.

"You should go too."

The gray-clad girl, as if granted amnesty, quickly got up and fled. After taking a few steps, she turned back to look at Jiang Yuebai, unsure of what she was thinking, hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and left.

Jiang Yuebai patted Qingfong, who had been guarding her side. It was only at times like this, she felt the difference in status and power brought by identity in the Cultivation Realm was satisfying.

She took a deep breath, the stench of Spiritual Beast dung filled her nostrils.

"It’s a bit smelly, but it’s great for fertilizing the Spiritual Field, although I still prefer using humans for fertilizer. The higher the cultivation level, the more pleasing the Spiritual Medicine produced... unfortunately, this is within the sect."

Jiang Yuebai rotated the Eight Arrays Plate, the white mist in front of her dissipating, and the three people tumbled out from within.

"Ahhh!!"

Xiao Ankuo’s two subordinates came out, eyes wide with terror, and fainted as if greatly scared.

Only Xiao Ankuo, pale-faced, managed to stand up, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Jiang Yuebai.

"You’ve gone too far! I will definitely report you to the Law Enforcement Hall!!"

Jiang Yuebai, expressionless, slightly lifted her eyes, "Are you threatening me again?"

Xiao Ankuo’s scalp tightened, retreating defensively, remembering the scene just now, he was terrified.

Armies upon armies, rushing like a storm, coming at him in waves, making his hair stand on end, no matter how he fought back, he couldn’t kill them all.

At first, he noticed something amiss, thinking it was just a smokescreen with no real threat, but he was caught off guard by the real weapons and armor hidden within, impossible to defend. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Jiang Yuebai said with a mocking smile, "Go ahead and report, I’d like the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate just how many good deeds Brother Xiao has done at Purple Cloud Valley, I am rather interested in it."

After speaking, Jiang Yuebai leaped onto Qingfong’s back.

Qingfong let out a long cry, its wings flapped powerfully, immediately blowing Xiao Ankuo away.

He angrily scrambled to his feet, Qingfong had already carried Jiang Yuebai flying toward the western mountain stream.

"Jiang! Yue! Bai!"

Xiao Ankuo, furious beyond measure, kicked the two people on the ground awake. Pulling at his injuries, he gasped from the pain, swallowed a Revitalizing Pill, and summoned his Flying Sword, heading straight for the Elixir Hall.

Inside the Elixir Hall.

Qii Ming led Xiao Ankuo to see Jia Xiuchun. Halfway there, Qii Ming suddenly said to Xiao Ankuo, "Brother Xiao, the one you injured in the Spiritual Beast Valley today is my sister."

Xiao Ankuo’s anger had not subsided, "So what if she is your sister, are you going to seek revenge then?"

Qii Ming glanced at Xiao Ankuo and lowered his head, his tone calm and steady.

"Naturally, I would not dare. However, since we both serve under Junior Master Jia, I hope Brother Xiao can show me some face and not trouble my sister in the future."

"What are you, a mere dog dreaming of standing equal with me? Get lost!"

Xiao Ankuo kicked Qii Ming over and proceeded directly towards the side hall where Jia Xiuchun was located.

Qii Ming got up and dusted off the dirt on his body, standing outside Jia Xiuchun’s hall as if nothing had happened, expressionless, awaiting instructions.

"Useless!"

Cup crashes on the ground; Jia Xiuchun was furious after hearing Xiao Ankuo’s report.

"You can’t even handle a little girl and still have the face to come complain to me?"

Xiao Ankuo cursed inwardly ’bitch’ but wore a smile on his face.

"Master Uncle, don’t blame me. I’m not here to complain, just wanted to say everything is going smoothly. That girl is obviously in a hurry. Unable to recruit a Spiritual Cultivator for her Spiritual Field, she came to the Spiritual Beast Valley for help, only to be outdone by me. I think there’s no way her Spiritual Field can be cultivated now."

Jia Xiuchun coldly adjusted her hairpin with a sneer, "If that’s the case, then why have you come today?"

Xiao Ankuo rubbed his hands, "I wanted to ask if Master Uncle, with the competition upcoming, whether Elder Lin could spare me a Foundation Establishment Elixir. If I could achieve Foundation Establishment, I wouldn’t have ended up in that girl’s hands today."

"You think Foundation Establishment Elixirs are so easy to refine? Nine out of ten batches fail, it’s very taxing. Elder Lin just came out of seclusion not long ago. I can’t bear to have him refine pills again. You’ll have to wait."

Xiao Ankuo’s expression shifted, Jia Xiuchun glanced at him and quietly said, "Let me remind you, if I hadn’t used Elder Lin’s power to help you three years ago, you would have already been dealt with by the Law Enforcement Hall. If you still want Foundation Establishment, you better behave!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the great kindness of Junior Master Jia and Elder Lin, I will remember in my heart."

"That little girl indeed has some skills. The two I sent out couldn’t even handle her..."

"Greetings to Elder Lin."

Qii Ming’s voice came from outside the door, Jia Xiuchun stopped speaking, hurriedly got up to tidy her appearance, glared at Xiao Ankuo, and went to greet him at the door.

"Didn’t you say you were going into seclusion?"

Lin Xiangtian’s face was as cold as water, Jia Xiuchun realized something was up and signaled Xiao Ankuo to leave with her eyes.

"Wait, I was just looking for you, stay."

Lin Xiangtian stopped Xiao Ankuo, waved his sleeve to close the hall door, and set up a Sound Insulation Barrier.

Jia Xiuchun didn’t understand, but her heart beat faster.

Lin Xiangtian took out an old piece of paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table, "You two look at this."

Jia Xiuchun and Xiao Ankuo leaned over to examine the contents of the paper. Jia Xiuchun felt as if struck by Five Thunders, collapsing directly into her chair.

Xiao Ankuo was overwhelmed with terror, "This is an Evil Dao Method, if discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall, certain death awaits us!"

Lin Xiangtian sat at the head of the table, steady as a rock.

"I’ve thought it over thoroughly and my mind is set. Years ago, I was a Fourth-Grade Foundation Establishment, had hopes for an Upper Three Grades Golden Core, but was sabotaged by Tao Fengnian. Cold poison entered my core, leaving me with only a Sixth-Grade Golden Core, making it difficult to achieve Nascent Soul."

"Over the years, despite multiple closed-door poisoning extractions, I’ve barely managed to reach a Fifth-Grade Golden Core. I’ve searched all Daoist Techniques for ways to improve the quality of the Golden Core, but they were all illusions, except for this method. After careful consideration these days, I have a thirty percent chance of success."

"Even if I can’t achieve the First Grade Elixir Formation as described, as long as I can obtain an Upper Three Grades Golden Core, it would be worth a try. Xiuchun, are you willing to lend me a hand?"

Lin Xiangtian’s authoritative gaze fell on Jia Xiuchun’s pale face.

Xiao Ankuo, trembling, couldn’t help but feel sympathy despite cursing Jia Xiuchun as a bitch earlier, only because this method requires using a person as the "seed" for the medicine.

Moreover, it must be someone with Yin Yang affinity to Lin Xiangtian and a cultivation level above Foundation Establishment. Only then can it use the person’s body to transfer Lin Xiangtian’s essence into the medicine, making it non-repulsive to him.

The harshest part is that the medicine requires eighty-one cycles of Fire Refining, essentially putting the person through repeated burning in flames while keeping them alive to cultivate the medicine’s properties.

Regardless of whether the medicine succeeds, once planted, Jia Xiuchun is doomed to suffer torment and ultimately die a painful death.
