Big Bodhi

Chapter 36: The Stars Always Gather Around the Moon

After another stick of incense, the Chu family also arrived in the hall, and there were more than ten people sitting on the futon.

Except for the Zhao family and the Mu family, there was only one person from the other remaining aristocratic cultivation family.

Daoist Hexuan got off the platform and said, "Twenty days later, the unified entrance examination of the Taiyu Sect in the nineteen ancient cities will be conducted. You can skip this step and follow me to the Taiyu Sect in advance. Within the Luoxia Mountains where the Outer Sect is located. Shuang’er, get the specially made Outer Sect tokens and distribute them one by one.”josei

More than a dozen people all stood up from the futon with respectful expressions.

The cold-looking woman in green clothes stepped into the side hall, took out a dozen tokens from the storage bag, and handed them over to the people from the cultivation family.

When passing by Ji Yuenian, her eyes paused on his face for a moment, and then she put the token in his hand.

Ji Yuenian thoughtfully looked at the black token of the Outer Sect.

In the front of the Outer Sect token, a magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers was inscribed.

A rich spiritual energy surged out from it, and the back was only engraved with two words, Luoxia.

“These tokens are without owners, you can’t use them.”

Daoist Hexuan's voice drifted into his ears. "After reaching the Luoxia Mountains, you need to go to the Service (or Registration) Mountain peak to record them in the book before you can really use this token."

The dozen people respectfully responded.

Not all of these people had their Heart Fires ignited. For example, Zhao Yanran of the Zhao family and Chu Lingyue of the Chu family were all ordinary people at this time, and the Heart Fire that was attached to their souls had always been silent.

"Ji Yuenian, it's very good to have a cultivation of the Profound Sea before joining the sect." Hexuan around for a second and set his eyes on Ji Yuenian. "I remember that a few days ago in the Ji family, a woman ignited her Heart Fire. It was a Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence, why didn't she come today?"

Ji Yuenian saluted and said, "Shangzhen Hexuan, Ji Quexue committed a serious crime a while ago. Her cultivation base has been abolished, and she has been imprisoned."

Daoist Hexuan seemed a little regretful, and said, “There were only two who possessed the Grade 6 Heart Fire Sequence in the entire ancient city of Taichu. You and Ji Quexue.”

Although he had the authority to directly appoint and dismiss the patriarchs of major cultivation families, he had never participated in those chores. At this time, the Ji family obviously had a problem. If it was not necessary, Daoist Hexuan simply didn't bother to intervene.

The reason he mentioned this was because he was in charge of the ancient city of Taichu, so he naturally hoped that there would be more talents born here.

Even Ji Quexue was different from Zhao Yanran.

Zhao Yanran was only a mortal. If the Zhao family wanted to add two more positions, they would have to pay a huge price of dozens of spirit stones. If Ji Quexue was here, it was within reason that he’d have given the token directly, unlike how impatient he was while dealing with the Zhao family.

"You wait for a while in the hall, and follow me to the Luoxia Mountains at night."

After leaving these words, Daoist Hexuan walked out of the side hall with Shuang'er, the woman in blue.

"Cousin!"

Seeing Daoist Hexuan go away, Zhao Xiaoyun stepped forward directly, with a very excited expression on his face.

Ji Yuenian had almost no people who he was close to in the Ji family and Zhao family. Only Zhao Xiaoyun, the second son of the Zhao family, was familiar with him. In the past few years, he often visited Ji Yuenian in the Anyang mansion. When Ji Yuenian disappeared in the Qingluan Mountains earlier, Zhao Xiaoyun was even more worried, and was always following the news about the Ji's family.

"Cousin really did a good job. You turned the Ji family upside down overnight."

Zhao Yanran walked over and smiled lightly.

Ji Yuenian glanced at her, ignored, and said to Zhao Xiaoyun, "You all know about the Ji family?"

Zhao Xiaoyuodded and said, "It was not yet dawn, and there was news of an unexpected change in Anyang. After Ji Hong was removed from the position of the patriarch, he was taken into the Hall of Imprisonment, and Elder Ji Luoyan was tortured, but to top it all was the election of head of the family, who turned out to be an unknown son of a concubine from one of the collateral lines."

After those words were said, the rest of the cultivators' expressions changed slightly, and they all pretended to be casual and approached him.

"Cousin, you—"

Zhao Yanran was interrupted by Zhao Xiaoyun before she finished, "Zhao Yanran, who is your cousin?" Zhao Xiaoyun's expression was dark.

"Eldest Young Master Ji's mother is my aunt, so why is he not my cousin?"

Zhao Xiaoyun sneered and said, "That's right, but how many times have you met this cousin? You are the daughter of the head of the family and the Eldest Miss of the Zhao family, but how many times have you been to the Ji family in Anyang?"

Chu family’s Chu Lingyue said lightly, "I remember that in the outer city not long ago, Miss Zhao was shot more than ten feet away by someone's palm. The person who shot her seems to be Miss Zhao's 'cousin'?"

"Chu Lingyue, what does my Zhao family have to do with you!?" Zhao Yanran turned her head to look at Chu Lingyue, her tone was extremely unkind.

"The matter of the Zhao family really has nothing to do with me. I just want to remind Ji Yueniaot to be confused by some people who are aggressive and two-faced."

The softer Chu Lingyue's voice was, the more resentful Zhao Yanran felt in her heart, but because this was in the Heyun Temple, she couldn't do anything to Chu Lingyue at all.

Zhao Xiaoyun looked at the raging Zhao Yanran, and felt a little funny in his heart. He turned his head to Ji Yuenian and said, "Cousin, has all your cultivation returned? Has your memory been restored?"

Ji Yuenian shook his head and said, "My cultivation base has recovered a little, and the memory... I can say it restored.”

His Heart Fire had been completely extinguished before. Since the spiritual fire was ignited, it could be regarded as a re-cultivation in essence.

"Have you found the one who did it?”

Ji Yuenian's eyes were a little dark, and he said softly, "Ji Luoyan died too quickly, but I noticed a clue in Ji Baiyu's soul memory."

Zhao Xiaoyun wanted to ask again, but when he saw Ji Yuenian wave his hand, he obviously didn't want to mention it any longer.

"Master Ji, I'm Xu Jianfeng from the Xu family. I have long heard that Young Master Ji Yuenian is the most talented man in the world, and now that I’ve seen you, and you really live up to its reputation."

"Young Master Ji..."

In a short time, many people from the cultivation families gathered together and greeted Ji Yuenian.

Ever since Daoist Hexuan said that Ji Yuenian had already cultivated up to the Profound Sea Realm, these people had a change in their thoughts.

The vast majority of the beings who first entered the Luoxia Mountains of the Outer Sect were ordinary people, and only a few them ignited their Heart Fire ahead of time.

Before their journey even began, he was already a big step ahead of the rest. This advantage was too huge to be described in words.
