Yan YuQing had brought five disciples back this time, his gains could be considered rather abundant. The garret he was staying in was huge, the interior could easily house his five disciples. In other words, Su TingYun’s neighbours had increased by five in an instant. If she stood at the balcony of her house, she could give greetings to her neighbours at the opposite side.
Of course, it only depends on whether the people of the cultivation world would do these kinds of things.
Like Su TingYun, the five disciples paid their respects to Tower master and the various martial uncles, then they waved their hands at Su TingYun. The Ren family of three brothers except RenEr were all smiles. The other two who had obtained an inheritance from their master, were expressionless for the entire journey, they were simply three rockmen.
In addition, the three of their faces were so ordinary that they could be easily forgotten. It gave Su TingYun a weird feeling. In any case, till the end, she could not even differentiate between RenYi and RenSan.
It was so obvious that they both looked different.
After finishing the teacher acknowledgement ceremony, Su TingYun and these new disciples are to travel to the refinement islands. Because Su TingYun was so fixated with the big metal ball, she waited for third martial uncle to refine two before leaving. Tower master and others had already gone ahead. The only ones left were third martial uncle, master and Su TingYun. As for XiaoBu, his cultivation was insufficient to ascend the rising dragon pillar, when the time came, they could not leave him on the island, so naturally he had to stay at Obliteration Sword Tower and bring his junior brothers and sisters around to familiarise themselves with the surroundings.
The metal ball heated up really quickly. Third martial uncle’s moves were swift, he even made a design plan for the model. Large and small were strung together into all kinds of things. When it was finished, ZhanYu and third martial uncle accompanied Su TingYun to WuLiang mountain, heaven firmament peak. In order to save the beast, both of them waited outside.
After Su TingYun threw the metal ball down, did she reluctantly leave. She made a promise to the Purple tongue grass that from this day forth, she would come every month to give garlands and metal balls. If she was in seclusion or occupied with pressing matters, she would ask others to do it on her behalf.
Even if she could not bring it out, she wanted to use this method to tell Big Bai that she will give it company, making it feel less lonely.
At the bottom of the forbidden horizon, the garland on top of Big Bai’s head was already hideous, no matter how it used its spiritual energy to protect it, the garland which had been devastated by the strong winds did not turn pretty again. It had nothing to do, so it squatted down at the spot where the garland fell down from, raising up its head to look at the crown of its head.
Because of the existence of the seal, it could not see the cliff or the sky. All it could see is a layer of dust that could not be seen through. Nevertheless, it still held high expectations.
‘Chirp!’
Something fell down.
Corpse, no interest. Big Bai spit out a sphere shaped object with disdain, corroding the corpse that was killed by a human. It disappeared without a trace before it came into contact with the ground.
‘Chirp chirp chirp!’
A metal ball fell down. There were quite a few too!
Its body turned large and flat, just like a blanket, then it leaped into the air and absorbed the big and small metal balls into its body, After it caught everything, its body returned to normal. The surface of its round body had a few large and small bulges sticking out. It pushed it to one side, then the other side bulged out.
It was not that its body could not store it. The reason was because it was fun. Big Bai’s memory had returned. It has become much more intelligent, but it felt that this was much more interesting, way better than killing humans.
When will she come down? Big Bai would occasionally think of that. It was not the Big Bai who was pure and naive, naturally it was just some passing thoughts.
Having something to play was also not too bad. Big Bai fished out the biggest metal ball, and used its head to hit it, causing it to roll very far. It even rolled over a piece of purple tongue grass.
Third martial uncle’s metal balls were sturdy and densely made, a large piece of the purple tongue grass’s leaf laid on the ground. But after a short while, it tenaciously lifted its flaccid leaf blade. At the same time, the other purple tongue grass who were unhurt swayed uniformly, emitting large amounts of dissatisfied noises.
Purple tongue grass: ‘JiJiGuGu, JiJiGuGu……’
Big Bai: ‘Chirp!’
……
When Su TingYun and others arrived at the refinement islands, the rising dragon pillar had already disappeared. In other words, they needed to wait for one more day.
‘Rumors say that there is a higher concentration of spiritual energy up there.’ The one that spoke was a building foundation stage cultivator that little martial uncle’s rich disciple recruited. When he spoke, his face would radiate health and happiness, having high expectations to pass the rising dragon pillar and entering the immortal palace in the sky.
But then someone standing beside him poured a bucket of cold water on his enthusiasm, ‘It is denser, but it is not dense throughout. The good spots had already been occupied by the super forces, and as for the poor spots, they might even be worse than a common immortal cave. When being thrown off, you also have to be careful. One might hurt their state of mind if they were careless. The most life-threatening thing would be to end up with those vicious demonic cultivators. So what if the rules say that they cannot kill you, they will just make you slough off some skin.’
The person who spoke previously, his smile had become stifled to a large degree, he softly said: ‘No wonder they still had to give us spirit stones.’
Otherwise, why would loose cultivators still need to be hired? They would risk their lives to come here, much less using money to buy quotas.
Spiritual energy can be used to sustain their bodies, just meditating on the island for an entire night is not a problem. Because everyone was sitting crossed legged, waiting for the second rising dragon pillar to arrive. But just after half an hour, trouble had found its way to their door.
‘Obliteration Sword Tower? So this is Obliteration Sword Tower!’ The one who spoke was a handsome cultivator with beautiful facial features. He wore a robe with a white crescent moon design, and had a sword on his waist, giving off an air of being wealthy.
‘Indeed, senior YuanHong. Obliteration Sword Tower has managed to gather bits to make a whole? Just to enter the immortal palace once, all of them had to come, they even had to recruit outsiders.’
After the one called YuanHong finished speaking, a sword cultivator carrying a sword on his back explained, his face giving off a smile that is trying to curry favour.
‘They are nothing out of the ordinary.’ YuanHong said. When he finished speaking, a few sword cultivators behind him nodded their heads. Among them, a female disciple added: ‘Master contrariwise seems to regard them as important.’
‘What master looks up to is the old Obliteration Sword Tower, not the current one.’ Someone else added. ‘Just look at them, their current appearance.’
Even their disciples don’t have uniforms, they are all wearing coarse sackcloth made into clothing. There are even pieces of dirt that are hidden in their toes. Truly a bunch of mishmash, the one with the highest cultivation is just at golden core stage.
Su TingYun felt somewhat uncomfortable inside after hearing their ridicule, but seeing Tower master and everyone else not paying any heed, she could only suppress her rage, close her eyes and calm down, continuing to meditate.
