Time quickly arrived at the next day. Tomorrow was the day the auction would begin. Inside Ziyang City, the external monster beasts were completely suppressed and could only harass, not attack.
Inside, the numerous cultivators gathered, allowing the local cultivators of Ziyang City to earn a considerable fortune. Many shops sold out their wares as soon as they were put on the shelves. Alchemists, talisman masters, weapon refiners, and other cultivators with immortal cultivation skills were all busy.
Many shops that Jiang Yun had previously worked with also sent people to contact him, hoping to buy the pills at a high price. Some even said that Jiang Yun could set the price himself.
Jiang Yun politely declined each offer, citing his need to cultivate. He then went to meet Pang Tianyu. He was still stationed in the western Wengcheng, but now much less occupied, merely guarding against demonic beasts crossing the border and counting their numbers.
"Brother Jiang, we have to have a good drink next!"
Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, Pang Tianyu greeted him, and the two of them immediately found an ordinary tavern, ordered a table of food and wine, and started drinking.
"It's so refreshing! I haven't had a drink like this in a long time!"
Pang Tianyu picked up a jar of spirit wine, drank most of it in one gulp, and wiped his lips happily.
"Not necessarily. I think Brother Pang is getting along quite well in the team!"
Jiang Yun also took a sip and said with a smile. Pang Tianyu was a generous person by nature. People like him would easily make friends wherever they went. Jiang Yun had just gone to find him and discovered that he was quite popular among the monks guarding the city.
"Haha, Brother Jiang's style is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
After they finished drinking and eating, Jiang Yun said something.
"During this period, I plan to stay in seclusion for a long time. I am afraid that I will not be able to drink with Brother Pang anymore. I really miss those days in the market."
Jiang Yun was talking about the time when he rescued Pang Tianyu in the market town and they drank together every day.
"Yes, this life of mine was given to me by Brother Jiang. If Brother Jiang wants it, he can take it anytime!"
After Pang Tianyu finished speaking, he patted his chest. Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head.
"I really hope I can go back to the market."
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye. Pang Tianyu accompanied Jiang Yun all the way to the block where the worship hall was before leaving.
Looking at Pang Tianyu's departing figure, Jiang Yunzi silently said in his heart,
"It's up to you whether you can comprehend it or not."
He originally wanted to give the other party a more obvious warning, but after finding Pang Tianyu, he discovered that he and other independent cultivators had become one. Jiang Yun immediately changed his mind.
Would Pang Tianyu leave secretly with one or two others, just like he had done? Or would he take the wandering cultivator friends he had been associating with recently? If it was the latter? Jiang Yun might not be able to leave either. And based on Pang Tianyu's past experience, this possibility was very high.
Jiang Yun had no choice but to treat it as their last drink and heart-to-heart talk in Ziyang City. At the same time, he silently prayed in his heart that the other party could survive this disaster.
"Brother Jiang, thank you for taking care of me during this period." In the offering hall of Ziyang City, Jiang Yun met his old acquaintance from the Biyun Sect, Youda and his disciple Xiang An. They had both come here to recuperate and rest for the past few days.
"It's alright. What are your plans next, Brother You and Brother Xiang?"
Jiang Yun looked at Xiang An, whose face was full of vicissitudes. He was older than himself and should have advanced to the foundation-building stage long ago. However, it seemed that he had not had a good life in Biyun Sect over the years.
"Hey, I still want to go to the East China Sea to find Patriarch Bixia and the others. I thought about leaving at that time. But unfortunately, I won't say anymore. We plan to leave soon."
Yoda's face was full of emotion, and he looked at Jiang Yun with an apologetic look. He felt a little sorry that Jiang Yun had saved them, but they were not going to stay here.
"Hmm, that's right. I'm about to go into seclusion for a long time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to show up for a long time. The situation in the world of immortal cultivation is turbulent, and the Biyun Sect has defected to the demonic path. It's better to hurry than to delay. What do you think, Fellow Daoist You?"
When Jiang Yun heard that the other party wanted to leave, he immediately felt relieved. It would be better to persuade them to leave as soon as possible.
"Well,"
After hearing what Jiang Yun said, Yoda was a little surprised. He originally thought that Jiang Yun came to keep him, but he didn't expect that he wanted him to leave early.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your hospitality these past few days. We'll be leaving in a few days."
After hearing this, Yoda had no choice but to bow and speak. After the ceremony, Jiang Yun accepted the other party's bow. Instead, he continued speaking.
"It's better to be early than late. If it's any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off."
"This..." Yoda was a little confused. Why did the words imply that he should leave? At this time, Xiang An on the side heard something.
"Master, that's right. What Senior Jiang said makes sense. Let's leave tonight. I also want to go to the East China Sea early."
"Okay, then I'll consider this as a farewell for you."
Jiang Yun felt relieved after hearing this. He looked at Xiang An, who was looking at him meaningfully, and nodded slightly. Everything was said without words.
Xiang An, within the sect, often sold various magical and spiritual instruments to his master. His ability to read people's expressions and understand things far surpassed that of his master, Yoda. After hearing Jiang Yun's words, he immediately understood that Jiang Yun wanted them to leave. And judging by the situation, there was no need to waste even a quarter of an hour.
Yoda looked at his apprentice and Jiang Yun. They were talking and conversing, and now they were actually talking about leaving. He couldn't say much, so he just nodded. This was considered as tacit agreement. Then he prepared to buy some fasting pills and other necessary items for the journey. Let's get on the road as soon as possible.
After completing all this, Jiang Yun finally arrived at Ziyang Mountain. Meanwhile, Master Haoyi and Zhang Miaoyi were waiting for Jiang Yun's arrival.
Seeing Zhang Miaoyi's red eyes, Jiang Yun knew that the two had already said goodbye and were waiting to leave.
"Go on!" Master Haoyi looked at Jiang Yun and threw a stone directly at him.
Jiang Yun connected it and immediately realized that it was the Purple Sun Divine Stone. This stone was about the size of a human head, which was more than enough to refine a magic weapon. It also looked like it could be used to refine another magic weapon.
“This…this.”
Jiang Yun was extremely excited. He had finally obtained the Purple Sun Divine Stone, and it had been so easy. He had even planned to cultivate here for a hundred years and gradually become a member of the Purple Sun Sect. But now, he finally got it.
Jiang Yun obsessively stroked the lines on it. Although the lines were extremely shallow compared to the imitation ones, the accelerated magic power in his body told him accurately that this was the Purple Yang Divine Stone, and it was also the Purple Sky Stone he needed.
"Great!" Jiang Yun was extremely excited. He immediately patted his chest and promised:
"Don't worry, senior. I swear on the Dao that I will bring Zhang Miaomiao safely to the East China Sea and let her be protected by the Bixia Zhenjun!"
Zhang Hao was completely relieved when he saw Jiang Yun actually swore such an oath. Unless he was no longer planning to cultivate, the oath would not be completed, leaving a gap in his mind. Then, any breakthrough would be impossible.
