Chapter 316 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 17

After Shen Xinran and Wu Jieying finished their meal, they went out shopping.

Located at the foot of Tianjian Sect Mountain, the town is called Jianying Town. Its winding bluestone-paved streets, lined with antique buildings, exude a quaint and mysterious atmosphere.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops with flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. Some sell spiritual herbs and elixirs, some make magical instruments and treasures, and some provide cultivation secrets and experiences.

Wu Jieying's eyes fell on Shen Xinran and asked, "Is there anything you want to buy?"

Shen Xinran frowned and thought for a moment, "I want to buy an alchemy furnace."

She had always used an iron pot to make pills and had never used a furnace. She didn't know the difference between the pills made in a furnace and those made in an iron pot.

Wu Jieying nodded and said, "Lingbaozhai is just ahead. We can go take a look."

The two entered Lingbaozhai and saw various magical weapons displayed on the display cabinets and magical tools hanging on the walls, from flying swords to magic mirrors, from magic beads to jade pendants, each one was exquisite.

Shen Xinran immediately fell in love with an alchemy furnace. It was made of black iron, with a thick body and complex magic arrays and runes cast on the surface.

The waiter noticed Shen Xinran's look and smiled as he introduced: "You have good eyesight, our store is having a promotion on this alchemy furnace. You can take it home for only 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

Shen Xinran: “…”

I thought I had 800 mid-grade spirit stones, which made me a wealthy woman. But I didn't expect that I couldn't even afford half a furnace.

After working hard for half a year, I still feel poor when I return.

Xiaotie, I'm sorry, she shouldn't dislike you.

Wu Jieying, who was still standing by, smiled and said, "Let me buy it for you!"

The waiter was instantly delighted and said, "I'll pack it for you right away."

Seeing Wu Jieying was about to reach out to give the spirit stones, Shen Xinran quickly held her hand and asked, "Where did you get so many spirit stones?"

Wu Jieying's expression was indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter. "Some time ago, I went out with a senior brother to gain experience. I found a magical herb and sold it to Elder Tang. I earned 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

Shen Xinran was so envious. Wu Jieying was indeed the heroine, she was so lucky that she could easily pick up the magic grass.

She has been working tirelessly to make elixirs for the past six months, but the money she earned is less than one-fifth of what others earn. This person is truly incomparable.

But this also indirectly shows that Tang Liangchen still has money! After she returns, she must study more secret recipes for beauty and skin care!

Shen Xinran looked at the waiter and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry, we don't want it."

Wu Jieying frowned and said, "Didn't you like it just now?"

Shen Xinran said seriously: "After I heard its price, I didn't like it anymore." Iron pots are still better. Even if they are burned, I won't feel bad.

Wu Jieying smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to be in the outer sect. Since you like to make pills, I will definitely support you unconditionally. I have spirit stones, so you don't have to save them for me."

Shen Xinran shook his head and said firmly, "Really, no need. The alchemy furnace is a dispensable thing to me. Keep your spirit stones for now. If I find something I like more, you can buy it for me."

Wu Jieying nodded. "In half a year, the sect challenge tournament, which happens once every ten years, will be held in our sect. According to convention, the first place winner can make a request to the sect master. I will strive to win first place in the competition and allow you to enter the inner sect."

When Shen Xinran heard this, she smiled widely. She took Wu Jieying's arm and walked out, saying in a coquettish tone, "Sister, you are so good to me. My future happy life depends on you."

Wu Jieying smiled but said nothing. In fact, the first place winners in the past had earned the chance to go to the Sword Tomb and retrieve their natal swords, but Wu Jieying felt that Qingge was more important than the natal sword.

As Shen Xinran walked out, she said, "Sister, I have a feeling that you will have great things in the future."

Wu Jieying smiled and asked, "What's the point?"

Shen Xinran leaned close to Wu Jieying's ear and said in a low voice, "Of course I want to be the sect leader! When you become the sect leader, you can let me be the elder. Then I can do whatever I want."

Li Yizhi is an extremely hypocritical old man!

He wanted Wu Jieying to practice the Merciless Sword and inherit his legacy, so he was particularly strict with Wu Jieying.

But when he found out that Wu Jieying was more qualified than him, he became psychologically unbalanced and secretly tried to trip Wu Jieying up.

Later in the plot, when Hu Changfeng killed Li Yizhi and wanted to destroy the Tianjian Sect, it was Wu Jieying who held a long sword, forced the male protagonist back, and saved everyone. She thus became the leader of the Tianjian Sect.

Wu Jieying frowned, "Master was upright back then, and he treated me very well. Don't say such things again. If he finds out, I won't be able to protect you."

Chen Xinran didn't care about that. She began to brainwash Wu Jieying: "Life is short, like grass growing in autumn. There is only beauty that is achieved through hard work, but no glory that can be waited for. What you see now is just what he wants you to see. He practices the ruthless sword and can even kill his first wife. How can he be truly good to you?"

As Shen Xinran was talking, she realized that Wu Jieying had disappeared. She turned around and saw Wu Jieying standing quietly at the door of Lingbaozhai, seemingly immersed in some deep thought.

There seemed to be an invisible force slowly surging around her body, and the spiritual energy in the air began to gather towards her, forming tiny vortices that slowly rotated around her.

Is this an epiphany?

The monk is having an epiphany and cannot be disturbed.

Shen Xinran quickly stepped forward to protect Wu Jieying.

More and more cultivators noticed something strange happening at the entrance of Lingbaozhai and gathered around, exclaiming in admiration, "Such a young person has achieved enlightenment. His future is limitless!"

One of the blue-robed monks looked at Shen Xinran and asked curiously, "How did she achieve enlightenment?"

Shen Xinran shook her head. "I don't know either. We were chatting and she suddenly had an epiphany."

The blue monk asked again: "What did you talk about?"

Shen Xinran blinked and stopped talking. She couldn't say that she was encouraging her sister to overthrow the sect leader as soon as possible!

Wu Jieying has now entered a very mysterious realm.

Master wanted her to abandon the emotional constraints of mortal love, family affection, and friendship, and not be influenced or disturbed by any emotions.

But life is short and time flies. Why doesn’t she cherish the present, live in the moment, and fully experience and enjoy every moment of cultivation!

She imagined herself standing on a boundless grassland, feeling the warm autumn sun and the gentle breeze, listening to the whispers of life around her. Her soul was liberated at this moment.

She began to understand that cultivation is not only a pursuit of power, but also an exploration of the depth of life.

She began to question whether ruthlessness was really the only option.

Is there any other way that would allow her to maintain her progress in cultivation without losing her human emotions?

Yes! Its name is Xiaoyao Road!

Transcend worldly constraints, pursue spiritual freedom, let your behavior follow your heart, and thus achieve freedom.

As the word "Xiaoyao" formed in Wu Jieying's mind, a warm white light emanated from her body, shocking everyone.

Shen Xinran waited at the entrance of Lingbaozhai for three hours. Finally, when Wu Jieying opened her eyes, she immediately stepped forward and asked expectantly, "Sister, what did you realize?"

Don't we only have a few chances to fight in this life? If not now, when? Defeat Li Yizhi as soon as possible and become the leader!
