Chapter 288: Chapter 287: Sect Daily Life

Before returning to Zhengyang Peak, Xie Jiuniang took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and tried to contact Chaoruo, but surprisingly, the Teleportation Talisman didn’t activate.

"The person is not at the Sect." Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan reminded.

Xie Jiuniang expressed surprise, "Could it be that the Sect has encountered a significant event?"

The Sect Master seldom leaves the Sect unless there is a major incident. Since her master wasn’t around, Xie Jiuniang decided to head back to Zhengyang Peak first.

The four Demon Guards would not follow overtly but would secretly protect from the shadows. Soon after leaving the Sect Affairs Hall, they automatically turned invisible.

"Little Junior Sister!"

Raoyang approached from a distance, his eyes filled with joy.

"It’s Second Senior Brother."

Xie Jiuniang’s face broke into a smile, "After more than a year, Second Senior Brother’s charisma has only increased. It’s very comforting to see."

Raoyang raised an eyebrow.

This little mouth of hers, always so sweet-talking.

As they walked together towards Zhengyang Peak and chatted, they talked about the events at Longyuan Abyss. After getting separated from Xie Jiuniang, they made it to the other side of the river and did find some minor opportunities.

But then, they encountered a Nascent Soul.

"That Nascent Soul was secretive and aggressive, demanding to know your whereabouts as soon as they saw us," Raoyang and the others had no idea where Xie Jiuniang had gone.

The end result was a fight.

All nine of them were injured, with Mo Chuan sustaining the most serious ones, nearly damaging his core. It was said that he would need two to three years to recover.

Xie Jiuniang thoughtfully asked, "Was Mo Chuan seriously injured?"

"Yes, fortunately, Lord Guangcheng was timely in treating the injuries." Raoyang did admire Mo Chuan, a person truly deserving of being the top talent on the list, "He saved all of us."

Xie Jiuniang was just curious.

Could it be that those families now dared to harm Mo Chuan?

They weren’t afraid of the Mo Family turning on them?

By the time they returned to Zhengyang Peak, not only had Raoyang come to meet them but others as well, including Zhan Chengxiu and Qiao Shiyun, Tong Hanming, and Ban Pu from Fu Feng.

Coming along with Ban Pu was Xie Siniang.

Xie Xu and the others had also come over, and Bai Mudan was there too.

Besides the disciples from the same trip to Longyuan Abyss, the rest were all acquaintances of Xie Jiuniang. However, by Bai Mudan’s side was a simple and naive-looking young man who seemed somewhat familiar.

Upon seeing her, the young man excitedly stepped forward a few paces, "Fairy Sister, I am Gouwa."

Hearing this, Xie Jiuniang recalled a kid who always had a runny nose and was frequently crying, and couldn’t help but smile, "You’ve grown up, not bad, you look really sharp."

The young man was now working under Bai Mudan, sometimes helping to tend to the Spiritual Fields of Zhengyang Peak.

After meeting Xie Jiuniang, the young man retreated to one side.

The other guests took their seats, and Xie Jiuniang brewed some Spiritual Tea to entertain them.

Some discussed the events at Longyuan Abyss, while others mentioned major occurrences in the Cultivation World.

The biggest issue for the Sect at the moment was the opening of a new Secret Realm. Thanks to Xie Jiuniang’s victory, the Tianxu Sect gained the privilege to be the first to enter, with other Sects having to wait ten more years.

This Secret Realm was a little different from the others.

Anyone could enter, regardless of their Cultivation Base. However, precisely because of this, very few cultivators below the Golden Core level dared to venture inside.

Because it was dangerous.

Chaoruo and the others were busy with precisely this matter.

...

Purple Sun Peak.

Xie Haoran came to find Xie Ying, saying he was going to visit Zhengyang Peak.

"I’m not going. Why should everyone go see her just because she’s back?" Xie Ying’s cultivation efforts had become increasingly intense recently; she was eager to break through to the Golden Core level to catch up to Xie Jiuniang’s Cultivation Base.

But the more anxious she became, the more elusive the breakthrough seemed.

Xie Haoran came looking for her at a time when she was already irritated, and Xie Ying immediately snapped back, not bothering to hide her temperament in front of her brother anymore, "Fine. If you don’t want to go, then don’t."

Turning around, Xie Haoran went to find his younger brother Xie Haoen to go together.

Given his sister’s current state of mind, perhaps it was best for her not to go.

Then there was Ren Bingyan, who had received a report informing her that Xie Jiuniang had returned to the Sect, accompanied by four Nascent Soul level Demon Guards.

Ren Bingyan had her own pride.

Previously, when people spoke of the most outstanding female cultivator in the Sect, it was none other than Ren Bingyan. But later, Xie Ying began to subtly catch up.

And now?

It’s no longer her people talk about.

Instead, it’s Xie Jiuniang!

On the list of prestigious geniuses, Xie Jiuniang leaped into the top ten.

From the very bottom, she had become one of the top ten.

In the outside world’s underground gambling dens, people were betting that Xie Jiuniang would become the top genius within ten years, and many were placing their bets. This wasn’t seen as a good thing by the previously esteemed geniuses of the Sect.

How would it feel for a proud person to suddenly discover someone younger than oneself, whose cultivation is progressing faster?

"Declare that I am in seclusion," Ren Bingyan didn’t want to see Xie Jiuniang before she had a chance to adjust her mindset.

Meanwhile, at Danfeng, Mo Chuan.

Upon receiving the news, he was quite unperturbed, "I won’t go, send someone to deliver a generous congratulatory gift over."

"Yes, Young Master," came the reply.

A congratulatory gift for Core Formation was sent to Zhengyang Peak.

When the first gift from Mo Chuan arrived.

Only then did people realize that the Little Profiteer had formed her core.

Raoyang and the others personally offered their congratulations on the spot.

Many others, whether they knew her, didn’t, or wanted to get to know her, also sent over gifts one after another.

Bai Mudan was in charge of registering and recording everything.

Among the congratulatory gifts was one from Lin Wangchen of Fafeng.

After sending everyone off.

Bai Mudan met with Xie Jiuniang alone and said respectfully, "This is the list of gifts, please review it."

Xie Jiuniang took the list.

She glanced at it a few times and then discarded it into a corner. Lin Wangchen had become low-key, and Xie Jiuniang hadn’t paid much attention to him for a long time.

"How’s Lin Wangchen’s recovery from his severe injury back in the Lu Yuan Secret Realm? It’s been many years."

"It is said that he has almost completely recovered," Bai Mudan’s gathered information was limited.

In his previous life, Lin Wangchen had recuperated for a hundred years.

This life was different, with memories now serving merely as a point of reference.

Xie Jiuniang gifted Bai Mudan a set of cultivation resources and inquired about Bai Ruiting’s condition. Then she handed Bai Mudan a Storage Bag, "Here are some cultivation resources for your brother. There’s a Barrier-Breaking Pill in there."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mudan was extremely excited.

With the Barrier-Breaking Pill, she no longer had to worry about her brother being unable to breakthrough to the Golden Core.

She immediately knelt before Xie Jiuniang, gratefully saying, "On behalf of my brother, I thank you for bestowing the medicine, Master."

"Get up."

Xie Jiuniang disliked such formalities, yet she didn’t prevent them.

Gratitude for a cup of rice, grudge for a bushel.

She asked Bai Mudan to leave.

Xie Jiuniang met with Dashan to request his assistance in brewing Monkey Wine, then bought four jars of his usual drink. After leaving Dashan’s orchard, she gifted the jars to the four Great Demon Guards.

Finally, she returned to her own cave dwelling.

Xie Jiuniang saw the Cleansing Spiritual Grass planted in the cave had grown a bit, which reminded her of the Creation Pill.

With the Creation Pill, the Cleansing Spiritual Grass didn’t seem as important, so she dug it up and transplanted it into a Spiritual Jade Pot.

At the bottom of the pot, she buried Breath Soil and Top Grade Spiritual Stones.

She watered it with Spiritual Liquid, the most extravagant planting method in history.

The result was excellent, as the Cleansing Spiritual Grass grew quickly and vigorously.

"Little Jianjian, we need to make a trip back to Yunmu City," Xie Jiuniang said, wanting to give her mother the Creation Pill as soon as possible.

Fearing that delay could lead to complications.
