Chapter 38: Embarrassing Shunzhou

Lingjing Mountain, located in the northeast of Fengdusai, is the mountain gate of Ruyi Gate.

Jiang Yi and his four companions were temporarily settled here, waiting for the arrival of the Mengshen Sect. Originally, Ruyi Sect did not want to accept them, as they were troubled by the assassination of Jiang Yi in Fengdusai. But they owed him a favor, so they could not refuse Jiang Yi's request.

In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed since the Jueshui City incident.

"Junior Brother Jiang, this is Elder Xiao's thank-you gift. He originally wanted to come in person, but as you know about his injuries, he went into seclusion as soon as he returned to the mountain."

Du Fei is the Ruyi Sect disciple who is responsible for receiving the four people from the Mengshen Sect. This is definitely not an easy job, especially at this sensitive time.

"Elder Xiao, you are so polite. I am grateful for your kindness." Jiang Yi took the storage bag with a smile. He was polite but his hands were not slow at all.

After the Jueshui City incident, he, a man who was very different from a warrior in the eyes of the big guys, needed to prove that "I am me". Before the people from the Mengshen Sect came, there must have been someone watching him in secret.

Jueshui City has become a ruin. Jiang Yi decisively requested to come to Lingjing Mountain for temporary settlement. He did not want to go to Sansheng Sect. If Sansheng Sect wanted to do something to him, Mengshen Sect could only argue afterwards. But it would be different for Ruyi Sect. As for Yuanbao Sect, it was said that the leader of Yuanbao Sect had mental problems, so it was better not to go.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you are too modest. All the survivors in Jueshui City are saved by you. Except for Wuhen Sect, the other three sects in the Southern Region will remember your kindness."

Among the eleven people who escaped from the Jueshui catastrophe, in addition to the four from the Mengshen Sect, there were two from the Yuanbao Sect, three from the Ruyi Sect, two from the Sansheng Sect, and the Wuhen Sect was completely wiped out, as was the Lu Family.

The only strong man in the Melting God Realm who survived was Elder Xiao.

Those who survived were all near the gap he opened and escaped at the first opportunity.

"By the way, has Lu Changge been caught?"

"No, it's as if this bastard has evaporated from the Southern Region. However, the Three Sacred Sect has already set up many checkpoints in the Mountain and Sea Battlefield. It's impossible for him to escape into the Sword Region."

"What a pity! Millions of souls died in Jueshui City!" Once the incident happened, Lu Changge's experience since birth was dug up.

"Jueshui City will be rebuilt, but not on the ruins. Instead, a new city will be built around the Thousand Caves."

"what?"

"Junior brother, do you still remember the sunset glow over Jueshui City? It took seven days for it to dissipate. The bosses felt the faint trace of time from it. The value of the Thousand Caves suddenly skyrocketed. Naturally, such a precious land must be enclosed." Du Fei said in a low voice with a mysterious look on his face.

"Congratulations then. Even if it is encircled, you guys from the Ruyi Sect will still have a share."

"Hey, junior brother, you don't know, the Three Saints Sect is very domineering, the Wuhen Sect is also a troublemaker, stirring up trouble here and there whenever there is nothing wrong, and there is also the Immortal Sect in Yuzhou to the west. If it weren't for the external pressure, our sect would never have formed an alliance with those lunatics in the Yuanbao Sect." Du Fei sighed.

Ruyi Sect has never been able to advance to the upper sects, not only because of the Yuanbao Sect in the state, but also because of the geographical location. Shunzhou is to the south of Lingzhou (Sansheng Sect), to the southwest of Luzhou (Wuhen Sect), to the west of Yuzhou (Bumiel Sect), to the northwest of Zhongzhou (Zunwang Mountain), to the northeast of Dongzhou (Mengshen Sect), and to the southeast of Yuzhou (Mingshen Sect). Being sandwiched between the six upper sects, the bitterness of it can only be understood by those who have experienced it personally.

The only place that is more tightly surrounded is Zhongzhou which is surrounded by eight states. But Zunwang Mountain is known as the number one sect in Chongming Realm. So no matter how tightly it is surrounded, who would want to cause trouble for them?

The only good news is that they are separated from Dongzhou by the Tianduan Canyon, the group of guys in Yuzhou Mingshen Sect who are unknown whether dead or alive rarely move, Zhongzhou Zunwang Mountain has a transcendent status and rarely takes the initiative to have friction with its neighbors, and Yuzhou Bumie Sect is more likely to look for Haizhou Wuliang Sect to play with.

Therefore, most of the time they only need to face pressure from the two states in the southern region. To put it bluntly, Shunzhou is also a buffer zone for the surrounding states to restrain and conflict with each other.

Therefore, unless Shunzhou can produce a brilliant and powerful person who can sweep the world, there is no soil for the birth of Shangmen here. The situation in Fengdusai is a microcosm of all this.

……

After sending Du Fei away, Jiang Yi finally had time to sort out the inheritance information he obtained from the copycat version of Dinghai Shenzhen. His sister no longer came to harass him for no reason. This blow was too great for her. She tried to practice whenever she had time, but she didn't know how long she could hold on.

The same goes for Pei Hongyu, but it is not easy for a first-rank official to make progress.

Lin Xiao was guarding Lan Qushang's coffin. The corpse of a powerful man in the Melting God Realm would not rot for at least ten years.

The knowledge inherited mainly focused on the three aspects of Taoism, weapon refining, and formations, but there was more fragmented and unsystematic knowledge, including but not limited to the methods of the soul, deduction and divination, and the way of talismans...

I don’t know if it’s because I only exchanged one, but a large amount of fragmented knowledge cannot be practiced at all and can only be used to broaden my horizons.

But this is also quite amazing. It will take more than three to five years for Jiang Yi to fully digest this vast amount of knowledge.

Now he is in someone else's territory, which is not suitable for studying Taoism, so he plans to continue to specialize in refining equipment and set a small goal first to be on par with Senior Yun Zhongzi, the Golden Immortal of Fortune!
However, before that he still needed to refine the Dinghai Divine Pearl again. Previously in the Blood River Sword Formation, he had simply refined the Dinghai Divine Pearl using the refining method of the Tongtian Divine Fire Pillar, and it was very difficult to control. Now that he had found a special refining method from the inherited knowledge, he naturally had to refine it again.

Time passed day by day, and the turmoil in the Southern Region had nothing to do with them. The Lu family and Jueshui City became history, and most of the Lu family members who were ostracized and left Jueshui City also changed their surnames.

It took Jiang Yi a whole month to refine the Dinghai Divine Pearl. He was not very clear about the upper limit of this copycat version of the Dinghai Divine Pearl, but he could not try this thing casually. After all, it could even break through the Blood River Sword Formation. It was hard to say whether he would be undone with one strike, but the Melting God would definitely be in danger. This was still limited by his own strength.

However, his defensive shortcomings still have not been improved. The Dinghai Shenzhen Pearl can dazzle the enemy's spiritual consciousness and five senses and damage the soul. Its power is like the power of the four seas and has a suppressive effect. It also has a huge internal space, but it has no defensive capabilities, at least his copycat version does not have that.

Therefore, he still could not avoid the risk of being beheaded. There were many spiritual treasures with defensive effects in the "Lingbao Tulu". The best ones were the Tai Chi Diagram, Chaos Bell, and the Linglong Tower of Merit of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth. They were not something he could consider at all. The same was true for the five-colored lotus, apricot yellow flag, map of mountains and rivers, and book of the earth.

Finally, Jiang Yi took a look at the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, but unfortunately all his merits had been used up, so it would be more practical to refine it himself.
