Chapter 55: Beggar Version of the Heavenly Celebration Cloud
"Go home, I have something to discuss with you!"

Just as Jiang Yi was about to repair his stove, Jiang Mingde's voice sounded in his ears.

Jiang Yi had a bad feeling in his heart. This was the first time his father spoke to him so formally. It must be something very important. He didn't delay any longer and flew directly back to the Jiang Mansion.

"Your brother is trapped in the Sky Break Canyon."

Jiang Yi's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He never expected this to happen. The Tianduan Canyon was just a scavenging ground with a history. It was a bit dangerous for ordinary warriors, but for the second brother who was secretly guarded by the strong man of the Rongshen, there was no need to worry. But now...

"confirmed?"

"The last time your uncle sent a letter was before Xiaobai entered the Tianduan Canyon. Over the past two months, I have mobilized a large number of sect forces but have not been able to find them."

There is no need to say more. Jiang Yi has no doubt about the power of the Mengshen Sect. If the second brother really happened to encounter that sudden change, he would probably be in great danger by now.

Before, he had thought about adding a soul lamp function to the identity card. If it was there, at least he would know whether the person was alive or dead. If he could master the art of divination, he could also calculate some information based on blood and fate. Unfortunately, there was nothing.

"Miaomiao she..." Jiang Yi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but his mind had already made the worst conclusion. Once this was confirmed, he was worried about his mother and sister...

"I have arranged for her to join the Qingteng Palace. The matter has not yet been finalized. I have already applied to the sect to go to the Tianduan Gorge. You please take good care of the family." Jiang Mingde's tone was calm, but the pain in his heart could be imagined.

He would not be satisfied unless he searched it himself. Even if he was in danger of death, there was still a glimmer of hope. Gu Hongyu was that glimmer of hope!
"Will the sect agree?"

The Lord of the North Tower has great power, but he has also lost his freedom accordingly. The symbolic significance of this identity is far greater than its practical significance.

There are usually only two situations when the North Tower Master wants to go down the mountain. The first is to be promoted to the North Tower Inheritance Elder and transfer the power of the Hall Master to the next one. The second is that the Twin Towers Mountain is breached and the sect is about to be destroyed, and the North Tower Master performs his duties and leads the sect's fire to transfer.

The situations of each sect are similar, with only some differences in the names.

"Yes, I will!" Jiang Mingde said with great determination.

He was not attached to power, and although it would be the same to ask the people of the sect to help with the search, as a father, he still wanted to go there himself, even if it was destined to be in vain.

As soon as Jiang Yi heard his father's tone, he understood what he meant. The sect's rules are rules. Since he cannot leave the mountain with the title of the North Tower Master, he should resign from the position of the North Tower Master!

But since this concerns the North Tower, I can't just quit it with just an excuse.

"Let me go!" Jiang Yi said after a brief silence.

It takes too much time for Lao Jiang, but it is different for him. He can set off at any time. That is his biological brother, born of the same mother. He will not be willing not to go and look for him.

"You?" Jiang Mingde looked at Jiang Yi with a complicated look.

"Why, you look down on me!"

"You have to understand that this is different from the game you played in the Thousand Caves. For the sake of profit, all parties will not show mercy. Although your magic weapon is powerful, you are also very fragile. The opponents you will face will no longer be just first-grade opponents, but also Molten Gods, and even the peak of Molten Gods. It is easy to be killed instantly!" Jiang Mingde refused decisively. He might not have a son anymore. If he got into this again...

"Then let's give it a try!" Jiang Yi is very clear about his weaknesses, but what if he can make up for this weakness?

It would be better if he didn't show mercy, so that he wouldn't have to be restrained and could instead exert his strongest strength.

"How do you want to try?"

"Just like the last time." Jiang Yi knew very well that if he didn't get his father's approval, he would never be allowed to go down the mountain.

"Okay, this isn't a game anymore!"

"Of course not a game! But I'll need some time to prepare."

"I'll be waiting for you at the North Tower's martial arts arena. Come directly when you're ready." Jiang Mingde didn't say anything else. He wanted to step down quickly and needed more support from the elders. Ding Yuansong had put in a lot of effort for him to get this position. How many years had passed?

This kind of behavior seemed too trifling to many old antiques in the North Tower. For the strong men who had lived for thousands of years, family affection had long faded. To them, he was just a son. So what if he died!
Jiang Yi sat on the long corridor, silently flipping through the "Lingbao Atlas". He needed a defensive Lingbao to make up for his shortcomings. He knew very well that if he didn't make up for this, he would probably be killed again. He had saved some money in the previous five years of retreat. He accumulated more than 8 million cultivation points through intermittent listening to scriptures and practicing. It sounds like a lot, but it is less than 9 points of merit when converted.

Originally, he was not going to use these cultivation points, and had been waiting to exchange them for the copycat version of the Bagua Furnace. But now he can't wait any longer. Time is the least valuable thing to him anyway, so he might as well spend it and then wait.

There are many defensive spiritual treasures in the "Spiritual Treasures Atlas", but he can exchange for few of them. For example, the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe used by Chi Jingzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals. If he uses the damaged ninth-level Black Mountain and White Water Armor as a carrier, it will be enough for him to exchange for a copycat version.

Is the defense of the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe strong?

It's very powerful. Even the divine whip can't stop you from wearing it!
But the Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe has a huge weakness, that is, it does not protect the head! Wearing the Purple Ribbon Fairy Robe, Yin Hong was unscathed by the Divine Whip, but was injured in the face by Deng Chanyu's Five-Colored Stone. How can he feel safe?

In this world where people can be beaten into foam at the slightest provocation, failing to protect your head is equivalent to having no protection!
Therefore, Jiang Yi set his sights on those more powerful defensive spiritual treasures. If he couldn't exchange for the copycat version, he would exchange for the beggar version. There would be no knowledge inheritance. He only wanted a powerful defensive effect.

"Haotian Mirror!" Jiang Yi was a little hesitant.

As one of the three pieces of the Haotian set, the Haotian Mirror has the ability to see through the three realms and four directions. Before having the ability to calculate the secrets of heaven, this magical treasure will undoubtedly make things this time simpler. I just don't know how the beggar version will be nerfed.

Moreover, the function of this magic weapon is mainly insight, followed by attack, and then defense. If it is the beggar's version, there is no need to have any expectations for defense.

In order to avoid being cheated by the Beggar's Edition, what Jiang Yi wanted to change the most was the Book of Earth. It didn't have as many functions as the Five-Colored Lotus and Five-Directional Flags. It was just a single function for combing the earth veins and focusing on defense. No matter how much the Beggar's Edition was weakened, it was impossible to eliminate all the main attributes.

But the problem is that even if it’s the beggar’s version, more than 8 million is not enough!

He still had to find a way to make a model and get a discount. He couldn't make the Book of the Earth, nor could he make the Five-Colored Lotus.

In the end, Jiang Yi set his sights on the central Wu Ji Xinghuang Flag, the Qiankun Ding, and the Zhutian Qingyun, and tried them one by one. As for the Mountain, River, and State Map, he could only draw it according to the appearance. He couldn't even insert the materials, so he gave up.

If none of these work, then he can only use that furnace to exchange for a beggar's version of the Bagua furnace to use first.

The central Wu Ji apricot yellow flag has a very simple appearance, and cannot be stuffed with too much material. It is still a string of question marks, a failure!

Qiankun Ding, he had a semi-finished cauldron in his hand for practice, he opened it directly and then refined the appearance, but the result... failed!
Zhu Tian Qing Yun, he has experience in refining auspicious clouds, and he has enriched himself a lot during this period. A large amount of materials are piled up in the space of Dinghai Shenzhu. The two previous failed products were also dismantled and all used. The broken Black Mountain and White Water Armor was also stuffed in. At worst, he could refine it to be bigger, and any discount would be better.

Before, when he imitated the Bagua furnace, he had to consider the functions. But now no matter how many considerations he made, he could not realize them. So this time, he made the mold simply and crudely, only considering the appearance. The rest was just mindlessly piling up materials, which didn't take much time.

"It really works!" Jiang Yi was overjoyed when he saw the string of question marks after the Beggar Version's Zhutian Qingyun turned into visible numbers.

The cloud form has advantages. No matter whether it is useful or not, it won't explode if you stuff it in all at once. However, the final effect may not even be as good as ordinary auspicious clouds. But the problem is that he doesn't need it. This is just a mold as a carrier.

Eight million five hundred and twenty thousand!

兑！
Under the influence of an unknown force, the extremely bloated auspicious cloud continuously dropped sand-like debris, forming a small hill visible to the naked eye.

Auspicious clouds spread out in all directions. Countless golden lamps, golden lotuses, necklaces and hanging pearls fell from the clouds like water dripping from the eaves, continuously and endlessly.

Within the auspicious cloud, the primordial world is hidden within it, with the sun, moon and stars shining brightly in between. The five-colored light within the auspicious cloud paints the heavens, and the eight-tone fairy music resounds throughout the universe.

A perfect tool for showing off!
But the more Jiang Yi looked at it, the darker his face became. With the special effects turned up to the maximum, how much defense would be left?
Think about the beggar version of the Five Lights Stone I exchanged before, its weird, almost guaranteed hit property, and its almost negligible attack power. Could this Zhutian Qingyun have maxed out its special effects and negligible defense?
There is no knowledge inheritance in the beggar version, so Jiang Yi can only use the Dinghai Divine Pearl's ritual to refine the auspicious clouds in the sky. After the ritual, the auspicious clouds appear more magical, and can spread out to an area of ​​about one acre at most.

The golden lamps, golden lotus, necklaces, and pendant beads seemed to have a certain number. After falling a certain distance, they would slowly disappear. After disappearing, they would continue to be born in the clouds, repeating the process. These things could be controlled after the sacrifice. It seemed that these bits and pieces could be used for active defense. As for the effect, we would know it after trying it.

But the primordial world, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the five-colored light in the Qingyun seemed to be just special effects that he could not control. The Eight-tone Fairy Music seemed to have no other effect except that it sounded good.

Not to mention anything else, as long as this thing is worn on the head, it really looks like an immortal, and can scare a lot of people.

“I hope it’s not too bad!”

Whether the beggar version is just a toy will be revealed in the next battle.
