Everything is ready, all that remains is to find a dark place and promote that Sword Wraith to Sword Envoy Spirit at midnight.
Definitely not inside the Azure Origin Sect, it is easy to be discovered, so we can only go outside. Jiang Ping'an plans to go to Vengeful Sword Valley.
More than two months have passed, and the abnormal movement of Vengeful Sword Valley should have subsided. Even if it does not subside, it should have become significantly smaller.
Moreover, Vengeful Sword Valley is the hometown of Sword Wraith, which is more conducive to Sword Wraith's promotion.
In the next few days, when Jiang Ping'an looked for an opportunity to ask Yu Lianhua to go to Vengeful Sword Valley, Yu Lianhua first asked him to go to Cloud Pattern Steel Mine to inspect the site.
"Okay, let's go and have a look at Vengeful Sword Valley." Jiang Ping'an agreed immediately.
The next morning, Jiang Ping'an, Yu Lianhua and Ziling left Azure Origin Sect together and headed to the Cloud Pattern Steel Mine field.
Two days later, they arrived at Cloud Pattern Steel Mine field.
Cloud Pattern Steel Mine has started its third defensive rotation. He Zudao couple and Zhu Junchen continue to defend. Only Wei An has replaced Jiang Feng.
Jiang Ping'an brought a few jars of fine Spirit Wine and a few pounds of Spirit Fruit Spirit Melon, and invited everyone to drink at He Zudao's temporary cave.
This time, Yu Lianhua did not sit and drink together. She took Ziling to inspect the mine deeply.
It concerns most of his net worth, and Yu Lianhua is very concerned about it.
Of course, she should do this.
She and Jiang Ping'an are the largest shareholders of this mine, accounting for almost 50% of the shares.
We drank and chatted until dark, and the drinking party was finally over.
Jiang Ping'an returned to a courtyard where they lived last time and saw Yu Lianhua and Ziling already waiting for him in the lobby.
Jiang Ping'an walked to the other side of the coffee table and sat down. Ziling immediately gave him a cup of Spirit Tea.
"Ping An, how many kilograms of Cloud Pattern Steel can they make in a month?" Yu Lianhua asked.
Jiang Ping'an said, "I didn't ask."
Yu Lianhua frowned slightly and said unsatisfied, "You have been drinking for so long, why don't you ask? If you don't ask, how can I check?"
"Just ask again tomorrow." Jiang Ping'an said.
Yu Lianhua hummed and said, "They know that I have carefully inspected the mine, so they will definitely tell the truth. Moreover, they still collude with each other."
"Isn't that better?" Jiang Ping'an smiled.
Yu Lianhua was so angry.
Jiang Ping'an advised, "There is no need to make things unpleasant. We have a cooperative relationship with them, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no disciples."
Yu Lianhua said, "You have many spiritual stones, but you don't feel sorry for the spiritual stones. Unfortunately, I invested all the spiritual stones. If not only I can't earn the spiritual stones, but I also have to lose tens of thousands of spiritual stones, I..."
"It's not that serious." Jiang Ping'an quickly advised, "Our identity and strength are here."
Yu Lianhua finally calmed down after hearing this.
The next morning, Jiang Ping'an sent Ziling to invite He Zudao, Zhu Junchen and Wei An to inquire about the monthly output of the mine and to check the account books.
He Zudao, Zhu Junchen and Wei An have already made psychological expectations, truthfully reported their output and handed over their account books.
Jiang Ping'an didn't look at the account book and gave it to Yu Lianhua. He continued to treat He Zudao and the three of them to drinks.
Half a day later, Yu Lianhua read the account book.
Of course there is no problem with the account book. Regardless of whether there was any problem before, there will definitely be no problem after one night.
After Jiang Ping'an, Yu Lianhua and Ziling left in the spirit boat, He Zudao, Zhu Junchen and Wei An stood there and chatted for a few words, then separated.
He Zudao returned to the temporary cave, and Yun Weixia greeted him and asked with concern, "How is it?"
"Very good." He Zudao smiled.
Yun Weixia complained slightly, "I didn't expect them to make a surprise inspection. They clearly don't trust us."
"It's human nature." He Zudao sighed, "We did take some Cloud Pattern Steel."
After a pause, He Zudao said again, "I need you to go back to the Azure Origin Sect tomorrow to ask Jiang Feng for a hundred pounds of Cloud Pattern Steel. We returned most of the Cloud Pattern Steel, and he must also return most of the Cloud Pattern Steel."
Yun Weixia responded, "Okay. However, I suspect that Jiang Feng has already sold those Cloud Pattern Steel."
"Then let him give the spirit stone." He Zudao said.
After a pause, He Zudao said seriously, "You tell Jiang Feng, Jiang Ping'an is saving face for us, and we have to know it. Otherwise, if he really changes his mind, he and Yu Lianhua can join forces to drive us all out of the mine and monopolize the entire Cloud Pattern Steel Mine."
Jiang Ping'an, Yu Lianhua and Ziling arrived at Vengeful Sword Valley half an hour before dark.
The temporary cave is still usable. When they left last time, they sealed the temporary cave. Now they only need to open the temporary cave and cast a few small spells to remove the odor and moisture in the temporary cave before they can move in.
After settling down in the temporary cave, Jiang Ping'an rushed into Vengeful Sword Valley before dark.
Jiang Ping'an chose to land in front of Vengeful Sword Valley, and then deployed Illusory Prison Poison Heart Array, waiting for the black fog to come.
When the sun set completely in the west, Vengeful Sword Valley was quickly swept by black mist.
Seeing the black mist sweeping over, Jiang Ping'an quickly activated the magic formula, activated Illusory Prison Poison Heart Array, hid himself, and used the characteristics of Nether True Qi to completely restrain his aura.
An hour and a half later, Jiang Ping'an confirmed that the abnormal movement of Vengeful Sword Valley had not completely subsided, or that the abnormal movement had become normal.
Sword Wraith still patrols Vengeful Sword Valley in groups, but the scale and frequency have dropped significantly.
In terms of scale, the number of Sword Wraith patrolling has been reduced to ten, and the frequency is once every half an hour.
"Half an hour is enough." Jiang Ping'an thought to himself.
At midnight, as the patrol Sword Wraith passed by, Jiang Ping'an took out a small jade sword and placed it on a stone platform.
There is a Sword Qi of Heart-Slaying Sword Art sealed inside this small jade sword.
Jiang Ping'an then took out a black jade box that exuded a cold aura, opened the box and took out Mysterious Yin Bone Jade inside.
It is like a half-section of jade spine, with a faint light flowing around it. It is neither gold nor jade. The surface is covered with dark silver natural lines, pulsating on and off like a living thing, like an array of stars, and like ghost runes. The black halo lingers like a gauze, and light dust is scattered from time to time. The most surprising thing is that there is no shadow under it, but the surrounding shadows are slightly distorted, as if they are swallowing reality.
Jiang Ping'an quickly pinched the magic formula to refine the piece Mysterious Yin Bone Jade.
Twenty or thirty breaths later, Mysterious Yin Bone Jade liquefied into a dark fluid between air flow and liquid light.
At this time, Jiang Ping'an's mind moved slightly, and Mystic Nether Spirit Controlling Banner flew out. Mystic Nether Spirit Controlling Banner shook, and a Sword Wraith that was more than twice as tall as the ordinary Sword Wraith and had a solid body flew out from Mystic Nether Spirit Controlling Banner.
When Sword Wraith saw Mysterious Yin Bone Jade, he immediately instinctively felt eager and wanted to pounce on him. However, he was stopped by Jiang Ping'an's magic spell.
After immobilizing Sword Wraith, Jiang Ping'an pinched the magic formula, allowing the dark liquid formed by Xuanyin Bone Tai to slowly penetrate into Sword Wraith's body, gradually forming a translucent energy skeleton that exuded a shimmering light.
After Mysterious Yin Bone Jade formed the skeleton in Sword Wraith's body, Jiang Ping'an pointed at the small jade sword. The small jade sword was unsealed, and an extremely sharp Sword Qi flew into Sword Wraith's body.
For a moment, Sword Wraith roared in pain and desire.
Jiang Ping'an quickly took out a Silence Talisman and activated it to prevent Sword Wraith's roar from spreading and attracting other Sword Wraith.
Subsequently, Jiang Ping'an quickly used the magic formula to help Sword Wraith be promoted to Sword Envoy Spirit, while at the same time injecting a large amount of Nether True Qi into Sword Wraith.
At the same time, the surrounding black fog was continuously absorbed by Sword Wraith, forming a huge vortex of black fog.
Less than half an hour later, Sword Wraith was finally successfully promoted to Ghost General level Sword Envoy Spirit.
Its body shape is four to five times that of the ordinary Sword Wraith. Its body is solid and realistic, and it has a set of gray-silver energy armor on its surface. It holds a black long sword in its right hand. Its face is clear, with a square Fang Zheng face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and it looks somewhat handsome.
In addition, it has sharp Sword Qi scattered throughout its body.
Jiang Ping'an bit his finger, forced out a drop of blood essence and shot it into Sword Envoy Spirit's eyebrows, and then quickly pinched the magic formula to strengthen his connection with Sword Envoy Spirit through the blood essence, allowing him to communicate with his thoughts and strengthen his control over Sword Envoy Spirit.
After a while, Jiang Ping'an stopped the spell and asked Sword Envoy Spirit: "Do you remember what happened before you were born?"
"Master, I only remember some fragments. I was once a disciple of the Profound Firmament Sword Sect, and my name is Xiao Duanyu." Sword Envoy Spirit replied intermittently.
In addition to having a vague memory, Sword Envoy Spirit's speech itself is not fluent.
Sword Envoy Spirit is still not a highly intelligent thing.
Jiang Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Duanyu, enter the flag."
Sword Envoy Spirit bowed to Jiang Ping'an, then turned around and flew into Mystic Nether Spirit Controlling Banner.
Jiang Ping'an kept pinching the magic formula against Mystic Nether Spirit Controlling Banner, and designated Sword Envoy Spirit Xiao Duanyu as the deputy main soul of Xuan Ming's imperial spirit banner, allowing it to conquer all Sword Wraith in the banner.
Just then, patrolling Sword Wraith arrived.
This time, they noticed Jiang Ping'an's aura. They immediately pounced on Jiang Ping'an.
However, the next moment they fell into Illusory Prison Poison Heart Array, lost their direction, and could not get closer than three feet to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an cannot be distracted from dealing with these Sword Wraith for the time being.
This Sword Wraith circled around in Illusory Prison Poison Heart Array for twenty or thirty seconds. Finally, they realized something was wrong, and they all made sharp ghostly whistles to sound the alarm.
The ghost whistle spread, and the Sword Wraith that was heard immediately made a ghost whistle and flew towards the direction of Jiang Ping'an.
All of a sudden, countless Sword Wraiths rushed over.
There was even Sword Envoy Spirit coming from the deepest part of Vengeful Sword Valley. However, because Vengeful Sword Valley was very long, dozens of breaths had already passed when Sword Envoy Spirit heard the ghost roar.
After a while, Xiao Duanyu finally subdued all Sword Wraith in the banner.
Jiang Ping'an looked at the swarm of Sword Wraith and couldn't help but smile. He took Mystic Nether Spirit Controlling Banner and waved it, and all the more than 1,200 Sword Wraiths in the flag flew out.
"Destroy them!" Jiang Ping'an ordered Sword Envoy Spirit Xiao Duanyu through his mind.
Xiao Duanyu immediately led more than 1,200 Sword Wraith to kill the swarming wild Sword Wraith.
Due to the relationship between distance and time, there are not many wild Sword Wraith flying near Jiang Ping'an at this moment, about three to four hundred. Sword Wraith of Jiang Ping'an have an absolute advantage. Not only is the advantage three times in number, but there are also Sword Envoy Spirit of a higher level.
