One villager excitedly asked the village chief, "Village chief, is what you're saying true? He can really take us away from here?"
Xuan Yi nodded and said, "I can guarantee that I would not have given our Treasure Orb to him if I had not already confirmed this matter."
Xuan Feng then walked in, handed the box to Xuan Yi, and said, "Village Chief, I was just anxious for a moment, I didn't mean any harm."
Xuan Yi took the box, nodded, and said, "I know this matter is of great importance, so it's only right that you be cautious."
After Xuan Yi took the box, he did not open it, but handed it directly to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu took it and immediately felt that a dense stream of vital energy was emanating from the box and entering his body.
What's amazing is that the Saintly Sky Art within my body seems to be stirring as well, just like when it was out of control earlier.
The villagers present immediately sensed the aura of the Saintly Sky Art emanating from Jiang Liu.
Immediately, everyone believed the village chief's words, and they all looked at Jiang Liu with eager eyes.
However, Jiang Liu did not rush to open the box. Instead, he suppressed the restless Saintly Sky Art within his body, looked up at Xuan Yi, and asked, "Uncle, can you explain it to me now?"
By this time, some villagers had already stuck torches into the mountainside, and the red flames illuminated everyone, their faces flickering with excitement.
Xuan Yi looked around but didn't rush to answer. Instead, he sat down cross-legged.
The surrounding villagers, following Xuan Yi's example, all consciously sat down cross-legged.
Jiang Liu sensed that the Fire-Winged Monkey had reached mid-air above his head, so he commanded it not to move and sat down as well.
Xuan Yi glanced at Jiang Liu and then said, "Actually, this Treasure Orb is Cultivation Pearl of the Saint Heaven Sect that our ancestors preserved."
"And it is because of this bead that we have been living in seclusion here, so as not to expose it to the world."
"Because we don't know if this bead will bring us death."
"After all, the enemies of the Saint Heaven Sect are incredibly formidable. Of course, there's also the reason why we are a companion Sects of the Saint Heaven Sect."
After hearing Xuan Yi's explanation, Jiang Liu was speechless. You are afraid of bringing disaster upon yourselves, so you cannot go out in order to protect this bead.
Now that you've handed it over to me, you're safe, right?
So I was there to protect you from disaster! No wonder you were so diligent in giving me this Treasure Orb.
Seeing that Jiang Liu seemed to have misunderstood, Xuan Yi quickly said, "It's because only those who have cultivated the Saintly Sky Art have the method to conceal this pearl, that's why I gave it to you. I didn't mean to harm you."
"Although this bead is somewhat beneficial to our cultivation, it is of greater benefit to those who cultivate the Saintly Sky Art."
Hearing Xuan Yi's explanation, Jiang Liu finally believed him for the time being and nodded at Xuan Yi.
However, Jiang Liu thought to himself that he would have to wait until it was verified later before he could be sure.
Then, Jiang Liu asked the question that had been bothering him, "You've been living in seclusion here for so long, haven't you ever encountered any outsiders breaking in?"
At this moment, Xuan Feng chimed in, "Of course! A few days ago, someone broke in without reason. If the village chief hadn't sent him away, he probably would have stayed here for a long time."
"By the way, not only do we have outsiders coming in here, but we also have a name when we're told what to outsiders?"
"Longevity Valley! That's our official name. What do you think? Sounds good, right? Haha!" Xuan Feng finished speaking and then laughed heartily, appearing extremely proud.
Longevity Valley? Isn't that the power mentioned in the Jianghu songs? How could it be you? Jiang Liu looked up at Xuan Yi with a puzzled expression.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Liu's confusion, Xuan Yi explained, "A long time ago, we were discovered by outsiders, and then our ancestors just randomly gave us a name, which became known as Longevity Valley."
"Furthermore, we claim that our purpose in cultivation is to achieve immortality, so we will not easily appear in the Jianghu."
Upon hearing this explanation, Jiang Liu couldn't help but chuckle, never expecting that the Longevity Valley had come about in this way.
They dare not roam freely in the Jianghu, probably for fear of being recognized as having the origins of the Mystic Gate.
As for occasionally taking action, it's probably to kill them to silence them and prevent them from being exposed to the public.
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about how to use this bead!" Xuan Yi said, stopping Xuan Feng from continuing.
Xuan Feng had no choice but to stop talking awkwardly, and looked at Xuan Yi, waiting for him to explain to Jiang Liu.
Only the sect leader of the Mystic Gate knows how to guide the Cultivation Pearl in their cultivation.
Then, Xuan Yi made a hand seal with each hand and then told Jiang Liu the incantation.
Jiang Liu imitated Xuan Yi, forming hand seals and silently reciting the incantation. Following the incantation's energy circulation route, he began to circulate the Saintly Sky Art.
Soon, a sound came from inside the box, as if the beads inside were trying to burst out.
However, before the beads in the box could rush out, the two beads in Jiang Liu's arms flew out first.
This scene immediately startled everyone in the Mystic Gate present.
They hadn't expected that Jiang Liu actually possessed two Cultivation Pearl from the Saint Heaven Sect, and that he carried them with him at all times.
At this moment, the bead inside the box finally broke free of its restraints and appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
However, Jiang Liu was no longer in the mood to care about what others thought.
Because he felt as if he were completely immersed in the special vital energy required for cultivating the Saintly Sky Art.
His dantian was frantically absorbing Special Essence Particles, a sensation he had never experienced before.
Upon seeing this, the Mystic Gate members sitting around all began to practice their techniques in coordination with Jiang Liu's cultivation.
Soon, streams of special spiritual energy emanated from the Mystic Gate people present and were directly absorbed by Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu's cultivation speed of the Saintly Sky Art this time was even more exaggerated than when he was at the village chief's house. Streams of special Yuan Qi were almost forming Yuan Qi turbulence.
The ordinary Essence Particles surrounding Jiang Liu were divided up by the Mystic Gate members present and then entered their bodies.
This allowed them to cultivate at a much faster pace than usual.
This is the significance of the Saint Heaven Sect establishing companion Sects and then providing them with cultivation techniques.
While increasing the cultivation speed of one's own disciples, it can also increase the cultivation speed of the members of the accompanying Sects.
Most importantly, they gained a group of loyal and capable subordinates.
It must be said that this cultivation method is entirely beneficial to the Saint Heaven Sect.
At the same time, the members of this accompanying Sects are also willing to serve the Saint Heaven Sect.
After all, they were just servants before, but now they have become martial artists, and each of them is quite strong.
