“Congratulations, Grandaunt. Your cultivation has advanced to another level! There’s hope for you to reach the Golden Core in the future!”
Jiang Renyi immediately bowed and congratulated Shen Ruyan.
Jiang Chengxuan also smiled and congratulated her.
“Congratulations, wife.”
Shen Ruyan nodded with a smile.
“Thank you.”
With that, Shen Ruyan took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiang Renyi with a smile.
“This bottle of Golden Essence Pills is something I casually refined during my seclusion. However, 1 think it should be helpful to you. Take it.”
Golden Essence Pills?
Jiang Renyi couldn’t hide the joy in his heart.
He knew that the Golden Essence Pill was a high-grade Level 2 medicinal pill. It was quite helpful to late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and could greatly shorten their cultivation time.
It was a rare medicinal pill on the market.
He took the jade bottle gratefully and bowed to Shen Ruyan again, saying,
“Thank you for the pills, Grandaunt!”
“You’re welcome.”
Shen Ruyan waved her hand with a smile.
Then, Jiang Renyi tactfully didn’t stay any longer.
After bidding farewell to Shen Ruyan and Jiang Chengxuan, he left Xuanming Peak.
After that, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan began to talk about their gains in seclusion over the years.
Through communication, Jiang Chengxuan learned that Shen Ruyan had not only pushed her cultivation to the sixth level of the Violet Palace, but she had also used the thousand-year-old Falling Thunder Wood to refine her Falling Thunder Seal into her second intrinsic Dharma treasure
Not only had its grade increased to mid-grade Level 3, but it also had an additional attribute, the wood.
Its power was at least ten times stronger.
Of course, such a powerful force was also very Dharmic power-intensive.
Fortunately, the Falling Thunder Seal was Shen Ruyan’s intrinsic Dharma treasure, so it did not consume as much Dharmic power as it otherwise would.
Just as the couple was catching up with each other, Jiang Renyi, who had just left, suddenly rushed back.
And his expression was very ugly.
His eyes were even filled with anger.
This made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan realize that something big had probably happened to the Jiang family.
“Granduncle, Grandaunt.”
Jiang Renyi cut to the chase.
“I just received news that a Level 1 market under the Jiang family was massacred not long ago.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of guarding the market, Jiang Qingyang, unfortunately died.”
Two years ago, Jiang Qingyang broke through to the Foundation Establishment and was sent by the Jiang family to guard a Level 1 market called the Maple Leaf Market.
This was the first time such a horrendous thing had happened since they returned to Mount Mystic Tai.
Hearing Jiang Renyi’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces were getting incrementally colder.
Jiang Chengxuan said, “Renyi, have you found out who did it?”
Jiang Renyi took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression,
“Granduncle, according to the traces left at the scene, I suspect that it’s very likely the doing of the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect you mentioned previously.”
“What? Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect?”
Hearing this name, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes widened.
Shen Ruyan asked, “What did you find at the scene that made you come to such a conclusion?”
Jiang Renyi replied, “We found the mark of a red lotus at the scene. Moreover, all the corpses of those who died in the market were sucked dry.
Moreover, we can sense very clear demonic qi residue.
They did not seem to have any intention of hiding their identities.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to confirm their identities so quickly.”
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately stood up.
Without any hesitation, Jiang Renyi brought Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to Maple Leaf Market.
Maple Leaf Market.
At this moment, this market had already become a purgatory on earth.
There was blood everywhere, shriveled corpses, collapsed buildings, and rubbles.
This was what Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw when they arrived.
At this moment, the person in charge of the investigation was none other than the second brother of the family head, Jiang Renchuan.
When he saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, he immediately went forward and bowed to them.
“Greetings, Granduncle and Grandaunt.”
Jiang Chengxuan waved his hand.
“Don’t worry about the formalities.. Now, tell me, did you make any further discoveries here?
