This event can be said to have unveiled another mysterious corner of the cultivation world before her eyes.
The cultivation world has long been home to various forces, not all of which are as upright and honorable as the Azure Lotus Sect. There are also many evil and heretical sects that exist openly and brazenly.
Even unorthodox sects like Hanwu Palace have grown to such a large size.
They can be described as swindling and cheating everywhere, treating human life as worthless, and resorting to any means to achieve their goals.
Compared to Feng Luo, Liu Guifang, and Lü Huanhuan, her fate was still fortunate.
"I wonder to what extent this sect attack caused damage. If there is a chance in the future, it would be best to destroy these evil sects."
After going through these things in his mind, Ajahn delved into the world of the book and took stock of his current contracted spirit beasts.
This time, we brought back too many demonic beasts from Huanling Mountain. A rough count revealed more than 160 of them, which is a great harvest.
These spirit beasts haven't had time to be trained yet, so let them cultivate and expand the spatial passages on their own within the space.
She herself still prioritizes cultivation and wants to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining as soon as possible.
"You've decorated this place quite interestingly."
The man acted as if he were entering his own backyard.
"My Lord Demon King, what brings you here?"
"Oh, someone outside is looking for you."
Their tone was so familiar that anyone who didn't know them would think they had known each other for years.
A-Jiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Thank you, Demon King."
She realized what she meant as soon as she finished speaking: "Did the person see you?"
"Heh, how interesting. I'm not transparent, so why can't I see you?"
A-Jiang didn't have time to argue with him and hurried to the front yard. To her surprise, the person who came was Ye Sichao.
Ah Jiang smiled and said, "Junior Brother Ye, it's been a long time. Congratulations on reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining."
"We should congratulate Senior Sister Bai. Back when you first joined the sect, you hadn't even started cultivating yet, but now you've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. You really make us all feel ashamed."
A-Jiang naturally said a few words of modesty, and then invited him into the living room.
As soon as he entered, Ye Sichao joked, "Senior Sister has changed a lot; you even have a living room now."
Ah Jiang smiled and said, "This house was already nicely furnished, and I liked it, so I kept it."
The two took their seats according to the order of host and guest, and remained silent for a while, neither of them mentioning their time as servants or apprentices.
Ye Sichao spoke first: "By the way, Senior Sister, who opened the door for me just now?"
"he···"
A-Jiang couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a moment, so he could only say, "They are distant relatives who came to see me."
Ye Sichao looked at A Jiang, who was clearly lying, but didn't expose her.
He lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "Senior sister, I have a mission I'd like to ask you to work with."
"What mission?"
"There's a cave on Golden Cicada Peak in our sect where Hundred Refinement Grass grows, and there's also a Yin Wind Beast. A few of my fellow disciples and I have taken on a quest for the Yin Wind Beast, so we'd like to team up. What do you think, Senior Sister?"
A-Jiang frowned. She knew about the Yin Wind Beast. This kind of monster liked to move around in places with heavy Yin energy. It came and went like the wind, and it was a group beast that was quite difficult to deal with.
However, a crystal called Yin Wind Crystal grows on the head of this demonic beast. It can be used to improve the speed of magical artifacts and has a certain effect on suppressing Yin creatures, so it is very popular among artifact refiners.
A-Jiang was a little worried: "Those Yin Wind Beasts live in groups, you...?"
"Don't worry, senior sister. I have already organized six fellow disciples. Most of the Yin Wind Beasts are only first or second-tier demonic beasts, so they can't stump us. After entering the cave, we can each take what we need."
After thinking about it, A-Jiang felt that this was not bad. If he could catch one or two Yin Wind Beasts in his spare time, he might be able to complete the next sect mission as well.
But then A-Jiang remembered something else: "Golden Cicada Peak seems to be a forbidden area where the patriarch resides. Are we outer disciples not allowed to enter?"
Of the twelve peaks of the Qinglian Sect, nine are where disciples of each lineage reside and cultivate, while three are the secluded cultivation sites of the sect's founders, which disciples are normally forbidden from approaching.
Ye Sichao smiled slightly and said, "Senior Sister, you may not know, but the forbidden areas of the Three Peaks have been opened. Only some areas at the top are still inaccessible. This cave is only located on the mountainside of Golden Cicada Peak, so Senior Sister can rest assured."
Ah Jiang genuinely didn't know about this, and upon hearing this, she was relieved: "So when do you plan to set off?"
Ye Sichao smiled and said, "The six of us were almost ready. If there are no problems, Senior Sister, we can set off tomorrow."
Ah Jiang already had some stock, and now that he thought about it, there was nothing he needed to prepare, so he agreed.
After exchanging a few more words, Ye Sichao took his leave.
Ah Jiang rummaged through his storage bag, checked his belongings, and prepared for tomorrow's trip.
"What kind of relative am I to you?" someone asked casually from behind.
The voice wasn't loud, but it startled Ah Jiang. She hates it when people suddenly talk behind her; she's easily frightened.
She patted her heart and said sarcastically, "The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. We are all things, so we are all born of Three. What's wrong with calling us relatives?"
Huaiye seemed shocked and didn't immediately refute him.
Ajahn Chah then said, “Furthermore, all things in heaven and earth are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence. Whether you are born from existence or from non-existence, we are all of the same origin.”
After A-Jiang finished speaking, Huai-Ye still didn't say anything.
