"A sky-covering stone that can ward off heavenly tribulations?" Jiang Daili had no idea what this was.
Because this kind of thing is like a legendary item; you might hear someone mention it once, but most people would never take it to heart, let alone believe it to be true.
"Yes," Ji Fengyao replied confidently, "I have used it to deal with several heavenly tribulations. It can prevent the heavenly tribulations from locking onto my exact location and can only attack randomly. So the heavenly tribulations are not too terrible for me. Even if I get hit by one or two, I can withstand them."
Jiang Dailu was dumbfounded: "This... there really is such a heaven-defying thing in the world? You're not just trying to comfort me, are you?"
“Yes, I was lying to you,” Ji Fengyao said.
Jiang Dailu: "..."
"So, will you give me candy?" Ji Fengyao tilted her head, blinked her clear and bright phoenix eyes, and asked seemingly very seriously.
Jiang Daiyue: "...!"
Ji Fengyao smiled at the bewildered crowd, clapped her hands, and said, "It's settled then. Everyone, try to investigate everyone in the Dan Sect within the next two days. If we still can't find Jiu Yue's demonic shell, then let's announce to the public that the Dan Sect Master's succession ceremony will be held one month from today."
"One month later!"
"Senior Sister Yun Yao, are you crazy?!"
"That's the Heavenly Tribulation of a Pill Saint!"
The remaining three elders and their disciples were all in an uproar, and they no longer cared about their status and addressed each other by their first names.
Ji Fengyao made the final decision, "It's decided then. I'll go back and cram a little, practice my skills and such." With that, she leisurely swung her little hand and returned to the main peak.
A group of people, who were "bombed" to a crisp, were left frantically searching for their way out, like a swarm of headless flies.
"Attempting to become a Pill Saint or undergoing the Pill Saint Heavenly Tribulation are no trivial matters, yet she says she wants to cram at the last minute. Is that reasonable?!"
"They're only starting to train her now? Could it be that Senior Brother Mo hasn't had time to teach her what it really means to break through to the Pill Saint realm?"
"Oh dear, this is terrible!"
"How about we announce that the succession ceremony will be held a year from now?"
"One year isn't enough..."
After discussing for a while, they realized that Elder Jiang Daili, who was usually the most straightforward and easily agitated, had not said a word.
Qingluo thought he was stunned by Ji Fengyao, so she called him by name and said, "Elder, say something."
Jiang Dailu: "..."
What could he say?
The extraordinary talent of Mo Linxian and Yun Yao, master and disciple, is already enough to be disheartening. Could he tell these people that the girl's luck was even better than they imagined, managing to obtain something as anti-cultivator as the Heaven-Covering Stone?
Moreover, this was that girl's biggest trump card in successfully surviving the heavenly tribulation.
Since ancient times, great treasures have been known to stir people's hearts. If news of the Heaven-Covering Stone were to leak out, the entire Danling Continent would likely be in an uproar.
What if the Sky-Covering Stone is lost as a result, or what if someone covets it and tries to do something underhanded while that girl is trying to break through to the Pill Saint realm?
The succession ceremony will be fraught with danger, and that girl's life will truly be in peril.
“She is Junior Brother Mo’s last disciple, and she knows how to act. If she says it will be a month later, then it will be a month later. Everyone should just do their own job,” Jiang Daili said with his eyes downcast. After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Everyone: "???"
Ziyu nudged Jinse quietly: "Your master is completely disappointed in Senior Sister Yunyao and doesn't want to care anymore, right?"
