On the sea.
One second the sea was raging with towering waves, and the next it was just ordinary wind and waves! This left the ships returning from the East China Sea completely bewildered. Some ships were still worried about the massive waves, but in the blink of an eye, the sea surface was just like any other ordinary sea.
Ji Jiuying, Gong Mingyue, and Hei Xiangling quickly returned to Star Academy. Sure enough, Chu Yu and the others had not returned yet, but there was some commotion in Old Man Yu's courtyard!
Ji Jiuying could only have Gong Mingyue wait for her in her room, and also keep an eye on Hei Xiangling. After all, she was afraid that letting Hei Xiangling enter her space alone would turn it into ruins...
As soon as Ji Jiuying arrived at Yu Bugui's door, a voice came from inside, "My dear disciple, come in!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying walked in without ceremony, and countless dazzling lights transformed into sharp blades that stabbed towards her. Ji Jiuying was speechless, dodging and cursing, "Old man, you're using this trick again!"
Bang--
With a loud bang, the two large doors flew to the side, and dust instantly billowed up!
"Oh dear~ my precious wisteria door, you little brat, you owe me a door!" Old Man Yu sat down on the ground angrily.
Ji Jiuying had no idea what he was thinking, so all her time in Guixu Palace was wasted. She took out a few bottles of her treasured wine from her spatial storage and tossed them to Yu Bugui.
"Master, what do you need me for?"
Ji Jiuying sat to the side and asked casually, "The noise in his courtyard as soon as she returned means he needs to see me!"
"Hehe, my disciple is indeed clever, she understands immediately." Yu Bugui picked up the wine pot and sat up. "Girl, regarding the curse of the Grand Elder of Tianmen Mountain, I specially went to my old friend of many years and found a way to break the curse."
As Yu Bugui spoke, he took out a crystal bead. Countless golden runes surrounded the crystal bead, each rune seemingly containing enormous energy that made one's heart tremble.
"This is a Buddhist treasure called the Purification Pearl, which can dispel curses and isolate the aura of demons."
Ji Jiuying's expression flickered slightly. Since it was a Buddhist treasure, how could it be given away so easily? Seemingly teasing but actually testing, she asked, "Old man Yu, such a valuable item, you didn't steal it, did you?"
"You silly girl, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Old Yu pouted, looking like he was being wronged. Ji Jiuying didn't notice anything amiss under his gaze. She picked up the bead and examined it.
"Your master is really good to you. There are many temples under the Buddhist sect, but only Jiuhua Temple has the Purification Pearl. In the sacred ground of Jiuhua Temple, there is a lotus altar with a golden lotus in it. It blooms once every eight hundred years. The Purification Pearl is the stamen of the golden lotus. After it is picked, it is kept by the abbot of Jiuhua Temple. The Purification Pearl is usually consumed by the disciples within the sect and is not passed on to outsiders."
The voice of the evil fire echoed in her mind, and Ji Jiuying realized the importance of the Purifying Heart Pearl. Her heart warmed. There was no place called Jiuhua Temple in the Cangming Continent, and the Purifying Heart Pearl was something that only those at the highest level were qualified to consume. He was able to obtain it. This old man must have gone to great lengths to find the Purifying Heart Pearl for her, just to help her get rid of that non-existent curse. But now she hesitated. Should she tell him that those curses were actually useless against her?
After thinking for a moment, she decided not to tell him yet. If she refused the Purifying Heart Pearl, he would definitely not accept it. Ji Jiuying smiled and said, "Old man, why are you so good to me?"
“You are my only disciple. It is only natural for a master to give his disciple good things, just like a disciple giving me fine wine as a sign of respect.”
Old Yu said with a sly smile.
Ji Jiuying, ......
"Then I won't be polite, thank you Master!" Ji Jiuying put away the Purifying Heart Pearl in her hand.
"Girl, what's your strength now?"
Old Yu squinted and stared at Ji Jiuying. He didn't even dare to easily confront the World-Destroying Demon Wolf, yet she dared to jump into its belly. It has to be said that this girl is very bold, doing some things that make people's hearts jump.
Ji Jiuying frowned and said with disdain, "Old man, don't look at me like that, it's kind of scary!"
"Get lost! I'm an old man, kind and approachable. How am I scary?"
"Want to know my strength?" Ji Jiuying asked with a smile. Looking at her smile, Old Man Yu had a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
A cold glint flashed before his eyes, fiercely attacking him with incredible speed. Yu Bugui, while using his wine jug to defend himself, cursed, "Disciple, are you trying to murder your master?!"
"How could that be? You want to know my strength, and I also want to ask my master for guidance. It's perfectly reasonable!"
Ji Jiuying laughed. She had long wanted to have a good fight with the old man. Now that she had advanced to the Spirit Saint level, she could test the power of the Spirit Saint and see if she had a chance against the old man.
“Since you say so, disciple, your master will not hold back.” Yu Bugui also became serious and added, “This place is too small. Let’s find another place to spar properly!”
After Yu Bugui finished speaking, he transformed into a ray of light and flew away from the academy. Ji Jiuying smiled slightly and followed closely behind!
Soon, the two arrived at a deserted mountain range, and Yu Bugui was no longer the carefree and irresponsible person he used to be.
Yu Bugui took a sip of wine, tossed the wine pot into the air, where it hovered. He then gathered spiritual energy in his hand and struck the wine pot, causing it to transform endlessly, with beams of golden light gushing out from it.
Ji Jiuying smiled gently, her body radiating a dazzling light that formed an impenetrable defensive shield. The Illusion Demon Sword in her hand transformed into countless sharp blades, its sword energy sweeping across the battlefield, unstoppable by anyone.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two forces collided, producing a loud explosion, like a muffled thunderclap in a clear sky, deafeningly loud. The mountain beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions.
The two figures constantly crisscrossed in the air, moving so fast that they left only two blurry streaks of light. Spiritual energy rushed in, its momentum powerful, and another earth-shattering sound followed.
"Girl, you're quite capable!"
"You're not bad either, old man!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
A ball of flame surged from Ji Jiuying's palm, the flame like a dragon, roaring as it rushed towards the old man, as if to burn him to ashes.
Upon seeing this, the old man produced a staff in his hand, and the surrounding air began to drop rapidly and condense, forming layers of ice crystals. The ice crystals shimmered with a cold light and pierced towards the fire dragon from all directions.
With a loud bang, the fire dragon exploded instantly, flames burst everywhere, and the surrounding area was a mess.
Ji Jiuying brandished the demon staff she had snatched from Xue Ling'er, shouting, "Icy and Snowy Land! Go!"
When Yu Bugui saw the demon staff again, he was stunned for half a second. This girl actually had a magical artifact from the demon realm. A cold aura swept over, and the falling snowflakes instantly became extremely sharp.
