Getting Started, He Took the Bait
Seven days have passed in a row.
Since returning to the Luozhen Sect,
Li Yunjing never left again.
He constantly traveled back and forth between his cave abode and the training ground.
He cultivates the Dragon-Binding Cord and the Seven Slaughters Heaven-Slaying Dao Sword Book.
March 11th, 9:00 AM
Inside the Sect Master's cave abode the Luozhen Sect leader,
Li Yunjing opened his eyes, and a sharp Sword Qi aura burst forth from them, reverberating throughout the palace.
Fortunately, Li Yunjing managed to control the rampaging Sword Qi in time, preventing Sword Qi from destroying his palace.
"Such powerful swordsmanship and Law Technique!"
With a thought, Li Yunjing summoned the Fire Cloud Sword, which hovered around him.
Surrounding it were streaks of sharp Sword Qi, their power terrifying.
The Seven Slaughters Heaven-Slaying Dao Sword Book: Li Yunjing's Introduction to Cultivation.
Although the entry requirement for this Law Technique is the Golden Core Stage,
But once Li Yunjing actually started cultivating, he realized that even reaching the Golden Core was not an easy task.
Li Yunjing also relied on his Innate Divine Ability — the Myriad Exquisite Wonders.
That's how you quickly get the hang of this Law Technique.
Even though he had only just begun to learn it, the power of this Law Technique astonished Li Yunjing.
A single Sword Qi released casually by Li Yunjing was equivalent to a mid-grade third-rank Law Technique.
If combined with the magic sword, the sword techniques from the Dao Sword Manual will be even more powerful.
Now, it's the Fire Cloud Sword that's holding us back.
If the Fire Cloud Sword is a magical Law Artifact of the Law Treasure level,
The sword techniques released will be even more powerful.
The Fiery Fire Cloud Sword can't withstand more sword strikes right now.
If the quality is too low and the number of uses is too high, the Fire Cloud Sword will shatter.
"It seems I need to find a Swordsmanship," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
After putting away the Fire Cloud Sword, Li Yunjing took out the Yi Wood Green Vine.
The current Yi Wood Green Vine has completely changed its appearance.
What was once lush and green is now Golden Light.
Cloud-like patterns flow across its surface.
Li Yunjing had already mastered the art of the Dragon-Binding Cord technique.
Even under the combined effects of the Myriad Exquisite Wonders and the martial arts arena,
Li Yunjing felt that it wouldn't take too long to master the Dragon-Binding Cord to a minor level.
After playing with the Dragon-Binding Cord Dragon-Binding Cord for a while, Li Yunjing put it away.
Calculating the time, it was almost time to meet with Sikong Ying.
"I wonder how the plan is going?" Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
He got up and left his cave abode.
Before he had gone far, Li Yunjing ran into Hu An.
"Disciple greets Sect Leader."
Hu An quickly bowed.
"Hmm, you're planning to come see me, the sect leader?" Li Yunjing asked.
This road leads only to Li Yunjing's cave abode.
Hu An nodded. "Reporting to the Sect Leader, this disciple does indeed intend to seek out the Sect Leader."
A Golden Core True Person from the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance came to see the sect leader.
The Grand Elder sent his disciple to check if the Sect Leader had emerged from seclusion.
Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow. "Lead the way."
Hu An nodded and walked ahead.
Li Yunjing looked at Hu An ahead.
They discovered that Hu An's cultivation level had also reached the Qi Refining Completion.
"When did you break through your cultivation level?" Li Yunjing asked.
Hu An stopped and turned around. "Reporting to the sect leader, three days ago..."
Li Yunjing gestured to Hu An that he didn't need to stop and should continue walking forward.
Three days ago, I broke through to the Qi Refining Completion.
Li Yunjing was somewhat alarmed.
If I remember correctly, Hu An was only at the Mid-Stage Qi Refining not long ago.
It's only been a month?
Even in a shorter time, he actually reached the Qi Refining Completion.
His cultivation speed is quite astonishing.
However, considering the special nature of cultivation, Li Yunjing felt it was normal.
After all, the cultivation room can trigger the spiritual empowerment effect.
If Hu An is lucky, he will trigger the empowerment effect one after another.
Breakthroughs in a short period of time are normal.
"How is your Formation Dao cultivation going?" Li Yunjing asked again.
"Reporting to the sect leader, this disciple has already successfully set up a mid-grade first-rank formation and is still working hard to research a high-grade first-rank formation," Hu An said.
"Keep up the good work," Li Yunjing encouraged him.
Next, Li Yunjing asked about the situation in the Annan Kingdom.
Hu An told Li Yunjing that Annan Kingdom's current situation was not good, but it wasn't too bad either.
It can only be said that it can barely maintain the basic operation of a small country.
However, if it takes longer, it's hard to say.
Hu An is no longer as impatient as he used to be.
Li Yunjing observed all of this and nodded in approval.
Upon arriving at the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, Li Yunjing met Sikong Ying.
Mo Xuan wisely made up an excuse to leave.
Li Yunjing and Sikong Ying were left alone.
"Yunjing, it worked! Those bandit cultivators believed your false information." Sikong Ying grinned.
Ever since I learned the true identities of those bandit cultivators,
Sikong Ying kept a close eye on the movements of these bandit cultivators.
Shortly after the false information was spread,
Sikong Ying then noticed that these bandit cultivators were gathering together more and more frequently.
Even yesterday, Sikong Ying discovered that Wu Lingwei had secretly left Clear Wind Sect.
Sikong Ying couldn't find out where Wu Lingwei had gone.
However, Sikong Ying learned that the group of bandits had gathered in the Little Mist Mountain Market.
Coincidentally, this Little Mist Mountain Market is very close to the Clear Wind Sect.
Furthermore, the establishment of Little Mist Mountain Market was also due to the contributions of the Clear Wind Sect.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Little Mist Mountain Market is Clear Wind Sect's territory.
The bandits gathered here, and Sikong Ying didn't believe that Wu Lingwei hadn't come here.
And just this morning,
News has spread from the Clear Wind Sect.
Wu Lingwei will be going into seclusion for a period of time.
Therefore, Wu Lingwei did not receive guests during this period.
Sikong Ying immediately realized that Wu Lingwei was planning to make a move.
Based on Sikong Ying's understanding of Wu Lingwei,
Although Wu Lingwei has reached the Golden Core, his potential has been exhausted.
He has yet to reach the Middle Golden Core.
Earlier, Wu Lingwei would occasionally go into seclusion in search of breakthroughs.
After failing to make a breakthrough for a long time, Wu Lingwei gave up.
For decades, Wu Lingwei has never announced a period of seclusion.
Sikong Ying didn't believe for a second that there was no ulterior motive behind the sudden announcement of seclusion.
It must have been after meeting with those bandit cultivators yesterday.
They were lured in by the false information spread by Li Yunjing and fell for his trick.
"That's good, Senior Sikong. Everything is proceeding according to plan." Li Yunjing nodded with a smile.
Sikong Ying readily agreed, indicating that he would definitely wipe out those bandit cultivators this time.
After carefully discussing the details, Sikong Ying left Luozhen Sect.
He needs to go back and gather the Golden Core of the Immortal Alliance.
Li Yunjing also began preparations.
According to the original plan, Li Yunjing would leave Luozhen Sect this afternoon.
Head to Half-Spirit Valley.
As for his purpose, Li Yunjing intended to check on the construction progress of the Half-Spirit Valley Market.
This objective is reasonable.
Ever since Half-Spirit Valley lost its territory
The Xunxian Town gradually began to develop the Half-Spirit Valley.
The Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance plans to build a market town within the Half-Spirit Valley.
As for the Major Merit to the victory over Half-Spirit Valley...
This Half-Spirit Valley Market naturally has a branch of the Luozhen Sect.
Given this, it's perfectly reasonable for Li Yunjing to go and check on the construction progress now.
Despite some awkwardness.
But it's fine as long as Wu Lingwei fell for it.
As time passed, afternoon came and it was almost time to leave.
Li Yunjing then flew away from the Luozhen Sect his sword.
Li Yunjing didn't go all out; instead, he flew slowly towards Half-Spirit Valley.
He was afraid that Wu Lingwei and the others wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
They flew for a distance.
Wu Lingwei and the others have not yet shown up.
Li Yunjing was not in a hurry, and while flying, he observed his surroundings.
Suddenly, a Golden Light flashed across the sky and earth.
Above Li Yunjing's head, array patterns resembling swimming dragons surged forth from all directions.
In an instant, a large formation was formed, trapping Li Yunjing.
"The Heaven-Imprisoning Array, what a grand scheme," Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
The Heaven-Imprisoning Array is a type of trapping formation, which is quite difficult to set up and consumes a lot of resources.
Generally speaking, no cultivator would be willing to set up Heaven-Imprisoning Array, as it would be a losing proposition.
However, although the Heaven-Imprisoning Array consumes a lot of resources, its strength is quite good.
Like the Heaven-Imprisoning Array Formation that trapped Li Yunjing.
He's only at the top level of the second rank, but it will take Li Yunjing three to five days to break through this Heaven-Imprisoning Array and leave.
