Chapter 36: Return to the Sect, Qingyun Has Been Scammed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A few days later, outside the mountain gates of the Lingyun Sect, Shangguan Qingyun was half a step behind Jiang Yiming on the mountain path.
“System, open the interface,” Jiang Yiming said in his heart, and Shangguan Qingyun’s interface appeared in his mind.
[Name] : Shangguan Qingyun
[Cultivation]: Middle-stage of the Qi Meditation Realm
[Sect]: Lingyun Sect
[Cultivation Method]: None
[Constitution]: Unawakened
[Notification]: All the meridians in his body have been broken, and thus his spiritual energy is unable to circulate. His meridians have to be reconnected before his cultivation may be improved.
Jiang Yiming nodded inwardly, then turned his gaze to the other interface.
[Mission Type]: Side storyline
[Mission Name]: Rebirth
[Mission Requirements]: Repair the meridians of your fourth disciple, Shangguan Qingyun
[Mission Reward]: Hundred-birds Phoenix Homage Spear Technique
This was the side mission he had triggered on the night he had recruited Shangguan Qingyun as his new disciple.
If he wanted to complete this mission, he had to first cultivate the Youth Heaven-turning Technique to the great success level.
Jiang Yiming had never practiced medicine before, so it wasn’t like he could rush into it hotheaded now.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to first complete the main mission as soon as possible and raise his strength to the Nascent Soul Realm, which would allow him to then build a Pavilion of Alchemy.
Perhaps one of the three pills that would be rewarded after completing the building mission could help him advance in the Heaven-turning Technique with speed!
Just as he was pondering about all this, Shangguan Qingyun’s voice suddenly came from behind him, “Master, What’s the name of our sect?”
“The Lingyun Sect,” Jiang Yiming didn’t even turn his head as he said indifferently.
“Lingyun Sect? This name sounds a little familiar,” Shangguan Qingyun pinched his chin and muttered with a frown.
“Ah, I remember now. I’ve heard this name before. Master, is it the Lingyun Sect that has been causing a commotion recently?” Shangguan Qingyun suddenly remembered where he had heard the name and quickly walked to Jiang Yiming’s side.
Jiang Yiming nodded and said indifferently, “That’s right, it’s that Lingyun Sect.”
After getting this answer, Shangguan Qingyun staggered and almost tripped.
He had been escaping from pursuit for some time, but he had more or less heard the news.
The Lingyun Sect was merely a fifth rank force. Although it was rumored that the sect leader had the strength to kill someone in the Nascent Soul Realm, ultimately, that was only the strength of one person. In terms of the overall strength of the sect, it was probably not even comparable to a fourth rank force.
He originally thought that for Jiang Yiming to dare to take him in as a disciple, there was at least a second rank force behind him.
Who would have thought that reality was completely different from what he had expected?
Such a force would simply be annihilated with the snap of a finger by his family!
“Hiss, could it be I’ve been scammed into joining?” Shangguan Qingyun shook his head helplessly and sighed in a low voice.
Of course, these words didn’t escape Jiang Yiming’s ears.
Hearing these words, Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but chuckle in his heart.
Since Shangguan Qingyun had joined their ‘scam’, he better not think about getting off!
...
When the two entered the sect, they saw the three disciples sparring on the training grounds.
From the looks of it, it was Ye Yunfan and Huang Chaoyu fighting Gu Lingfei two-to-one.
The strength of those two had become better.
Ye Yunfan’s mastery of the Flying Clouds Broken Moon Technique and Huang Chaoyu’s mastery of the Nine Heavens Mystic Phoenix Scripture were both smooth and flawless.
The spiritual energy in their bodies was vast and vigorous, stirring the air and causing the banners not far away to sail.
What was more commendable was the way the two were cooperating perfectly.
Huang Chaoyu’s cultivation was now stabilized at the middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. As for Ye Yunfan, his aura was not quite stable, and he should have just broken through to the middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Although they had both advanced compared to before, they were still far from the Core Formation Realm.
However, under the combined efforts of the two, Gu Lingfei, who was at the early-stage of the Core Formation Realm, wasn’t gaining much of an advantage.
From this, it could be seen just how perfect the coordination between the two was. It was practically a combination of offense and defense.
If their opponent was an ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivator, they would have won long ago.
After all, the few cultivation methods that Jiang Yiming had passed on to the could be said to be the best.
Shangguan Qingyun, who was beside Jiang Yiming, was somewhat stunned when he saw all this.
These people didn’t seem to be much older than him, but their imposing manner was far from what he could compare to!
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be envious or feel inferior.
At this moment, the three on the grounds noticed Jiang Yiming and stopped immediately.
“Master!”
All three were pleasantly surprised as they shouted in unison and rushed to Jiang Yiming.
Huang Zhaoyu said first, “Master, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.”
“Haha, don’t be so exaggerated. I’ve only been away for a few days.”
“Each day apart is like three years. Second junior brother and I miss Master too,” Gu Lingfei didn’t want to fall behind and said with emotion.
Ye Yunfan also nodded quickly.
Hearing all this, Jiang Yiming said with a smile, “It sounds fine when Yunfan and Xiaoyu say such things, but it feels weird when you say it. Back when you were traveling, you were away for a few months. I didn’t see that you missed your Master that much then.”
Hearing this, Ye Yunfan and Huang Zhaoyu could not help but laugh.
Gu Lingfei’s face instantly turned red and he wanted to explain himself.
Jiang Yiming waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright, I was just joking. I know that all of you miss me. Oh right, I went out this time and took in a new disciple.”
After saying that, he patted Shangguan Qingyun’s shoulder.
Qingyun immediately understood and hurriedly cupped his hands towards the three as he said respectfully, “I’m Shangguan Qingyun. Greetings to my senior brothers and senior sister.”
Hearing this, Gu Lingfei and the other two were instantly stunned.
They hadn’t expected that their Master would take in a new disciple after just going out for a few days, especially since the current situation of the Lingyun Sect wasn’t exactly optimistic.
However, they also knew that Jiang Yiming wasn’t the type of person who would act rashly.
Since he had taken in a new disciple now, he must have thought it through.
When they thought of this, the doubts in their hearts completely disappeared.
Huang Chaoyu was the most excited as she said with a smile, “Little junior brother, I’m your third senior sister, Huang Chaoyu.”
Jiang Yiming smiled. He knew why she was so happy: she could now finally be called senior sister, and that was different from being a junior sister.
Huang Chaoyu was quite a competitive person at heart.
Gu Lingfei and Ye Yunfan looked at each other and smiled as they spoke one after another.
“Little junior brother, I’m your eldest senior brother, Gu Lingfei.”
“Second senior brother, Ye Yunfan.”
Shangguan Qingyun didn’t dare to be rude and hurriedly said, “Greetings, senior brother Gu, senior brother Ye, senior sister Huang.”
Hearing the words ‘senior sister’, Huang Chaoyu nodded her head in satisfaction.
She wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yiming spoke up, “Alright, now that you know each other, the matters of getting familiar with each other can wait. For now, the three of you should bring Qingyun around so that he can familiarize himself with the sect. I feel that I’m about to break through, and I need to go into seclusion for some time.”
“Yes, Master!”
The four of them said respectfully and solemnly.
Jiang Yiming didn’t delay any further and walked away.
Perhaps it was thanks to the spirit gathering array, but as soon as he returned to the sect, he could feel a breakthrough coming.
This was the first time in the past few days that such a feeling had appeared.
Could it be that he was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage?
For a moment, Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
