19: Seizing opportunities and living off others

After cleaning the room, Jiang Yunfan slipped out of the courtyard.

To avoid any complications, he planned to go to the Scripture Repository to get the great emperor of chaos inheritance.

Soon, Jiang Yunfan arrived at the Scripture Repository. The door was unlocked, and he pushed it open, finding dust everywhere.

On the bookshelves inside the hall were many Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals and ancient history books, all covered in dust.

"It's dusty everywhere. How long has it been since anyone came here?"

He was quite speechless.

The Scripture Repository only had people enter when Disciples were being recruited, and only then would someone be sent to clean it. Afterward, no one came, and no one bothered it, so naturally, dust accumulated.

Jiang Yunfan began searching for the Human Skin Cultivation Method.

A moment later.

Jiang Yunfan found the Human Skin Cultivation Method in an inconspicuous corner. He quickly picked up the human skin.

Upon opening it, there were only about a hundred characters of Mind-Cultivation Technique, which were very obscure and difficult to understand.

Taking advantage of no one being around, he stuffed the human skin into his bosom and left.

Purple Bamboo Peak.

"What! Ji Yao has recovered her Cultivation Level!"

Upon hearing the news that Ji Yao had recovered her Cultivation Level, Liu Xiaoxiao's face changed drastically, her eyes full of shock.

Zhao Linger said, "It's absolutely true. The Sect held the Immortal Ascension Assembly early, and she returned with the recruited Disciples."

Liu Xiaoxiao composed herself. "I didn't expect her to recover after her Dantian was damaged. It seems she got a great Opportunity. I'm happy for her that she could recover her Cultivation Level."

Though she spoke of happiness, a terrifying cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Chiyang Peak.

Jiang Beixuan became a Disciple under the Chiyang Peak Master.

Lingxiao Sect has eight main peaks, and the Peak Master of each main peak is a Dharma Idol Realm Giant.

Bai Chong brought Senior Brother Jiang to a palace. "Senior Brother Jiang, from now on, this Pure Yang Hall will be your Cultivation place."

Jiang Beixuan said, "Go do something for me."

Bai Chong said, "Senior Brother, just give the order."

Jiang Beixuan said, "You should know Ji Yao, right?"

Bai Chong said, "Is Senior Brother referring to Ji Yao, who had her Cultivation Level crippled and was expelled from the Sect?"

"It's her. She has now recovered her Cultivation Level and returned to Lingxiao Sect. She took a matrilocal son-in-law in the secular world, and this person also joined Lingxiao Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple. Spread this information for me."

Jiang Beixuan knew that there must be many people in Lingxiao Sect who admired Ji Yao. Once these admirers knew that Ji Yao had taken a matrilocal son-in-law, they would definitely not let Jiang Yunfan off easily. He wanted Jiang Yunfan to have a miserable life.

Bai Chong was utterly shocked. Ji Yao had actually recovered her Cultivation Level, and a favored daughter of heaven like her had taken a matrilocal son-in-law. It was incredibly unbelievable.

After Jiang Yunfan returned to his room, he closed the door. He took out the human skin from his bosom and began to comprehend the Mind-Cultivation Technique.

The next day.

【Today's Intelligence (White): An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against. The Host's matter with Ji Yao has spread throughout Lingxiao Sect and is known to all. Ji Yao's admirers will come to trouble the Host.】

Jiang Yunfan stopped Cultivating.

He hadn't comprehended anything after a night of Cultivation.

"It seems my Comprehension Ability isn't enough!"

Jiang Yunfan was unwilling to give up.

If one day wasn't enough, then two days.

He would comprehend it eventually.

He opened the door and left.

A moment later.

Jiang Yunfan arrived at the Deacon Hall to collect his daily pound of spirit rice.

"Big Brother."

Lu Yun walked over.

Jiang Yunfan said, "You're here so early."

Lu Yun said, "I just arrived too. I took a task to clean the Scripture Repository. It gives two contribution points, which can be exchanged for two pounds of spirit rice."

Jiang Yunfan thought, your Opportunity has already been snatched by me. Don't blame your big brother; I'll compensate you later.

"Go ahead!"

Lu Yun left.

There was a long line at the place for collecting spirit rice, and Jiang Yunfan stood at the back.

Soon, it was Jiang Yunfan's turn.

The deacon asked, "What's your name?"

"Jiang Yunfan."

Two people not far away heard the name Jiang Yunfan and immediately fixed their gaze on him.

The deacon heard the name and couldn't help but look up at Jiang Yunfan. "You're that much-talked-about Jiang Yunfan, aren't you? I hear you're True Disciple Ji Yao's matrilocal son-in-law."

Jiang Yunfan knew that his relationship with Ji Yao had already spread, so there was no need to hide it. "I am that Jiang Yunfan."

"You truly have good fortune to be able to become her matrilocal son-in-law."

After registering his name, the deacon handed Jiang Yunfan a small bag of rice.

Jiang Yunfan left with the spirit rice.

He took out a grain of rice. It was as long as a pinky finger, crystal clear like jade, and very soft.

He put the rice into his mouth; it was soft and delicious.

The spirit rice, upon entering his stomach, transformed into a stream of pure Qi that merged into his body, without the slightest Impurities.

"This spirit rice is indeed a good thing, but this little bit of rice isn't enough to eat! It seems I also need to do some tasks to earn contribution points."

Jiang Yunfan was about to go accept a task when he was stopped by two people after just two steps.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Hand over the spirit rice in your hand."

"What if I don't?"

"If you don't, then I'll beat you until you do."

Su Mu threw a punch at Jiang Yunfan. Jiang Yunfan didn't dodge and met it with a punch directly. Su Mu was sent flying by the punch, injured and spitting blood.

Chen Gen, standing by, was shocked. Su Mu was a Half-step Xiantian, yet he was injured by a newly initiated Disciple. It was simply outrageous.

To refine the Physical Body to a flawless state without Impurities is Half-step Xiantian, a Realm between Acquired and Innate. His strength is several times stronger than the Houtian Ninth Layer Realm, but weaker than a Innate Realm Expert.

In a way, Jiang Yunfan was also a Half-step Xiantian.

Because he had consumed a bone rebirth pill, he had long undergone a complete transformation, and the Impurities in his body had long been purged.

"Chen Gen, what are you standing there for! Let's go together."

Su Mu called Chen Gen, and the two of them jointly attacked Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan struck out with a palm, and the overbearing palm force blocked their attacks. The two sides competed with True Qi. Jiang Yunfan smiled disdainfully, easily fighting two opponents.

"How is this guy's True Qi so profound?"

Chen Gen and Su Mu both used all their might.

"Useless. I'm only using eighty percent of my strength, and you can't even hold up."

Jiang Yunfan gathered strength and pushed out with a horizontal palm. Chen Gen and Su Mu were sent flying, injured and spitting blood by the overbearing True Qi. Their bodies felt like they were on fire.

"Who told you to come trouble me?"

"No one. We are all admirers of Ji Yao. Hearing that you are her matrilocal son-in-law, we just wanted to come trouble you and vent our anger."

"Scram!"

Chen Gen and Su Mu left.

"System, give me intelligence on the mastermind behind these two."

【Today's Intelligence (White): The mastermind behind this is Inner Sect Disciple Bai Chong, and the one who instructed Bai Chong is Jiang Beixuan.】

"So it was him causing trouble behind the scenes."

Jiang Yunfan looked disdainful. Jiang Beixuan only resorted to such despicable methods. He would slowly settle the score with Jiang Beixuan later.

He turned and left.

This scene was witnessed by three other people.

"I didn't expect this guy's strength to be so great. Even Chen Gen and Su Mu together are no match. It seems the task Senior Brother Feng gave me can't be accomplished."

"If this matter isn't accomplished, and Senior Brother Feng blames us, we won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Are you saying you still want to go get beaten? If you want to go, you go."

The three had a falling out.

Just as Jiang Yunfan was about to accept a task, Ji Yao suddenly appeared, immediately attracting the attention of many Outer Sect Disciples.

"Who is that woman? So beautiful."

"Ji Yao, that's Ji Yao."

Some Outer Sect Disciples from the previous session recognized Ji Yao, excited beyond measure.

"Yaoer, why are you here?"

"I came to bring you spirit rice."

Ji Yao took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Jiang Yunfan. "This contains red jade spirit rice, which is of better quality than those white jade spirit rice."

"Besides the spirit rice, there are also some Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills inside."

"I plan to go into secluded Cultivation and won't be able to see you for a while. Our relationship has already spread, and people will definitely come to trouble you. I've already put out the word: anyone who dares to make things difficult for you or bully you is an enemy of mine. No one in the Sect dares to touch you."

Jiang Yunfan's heart warmed. It was truly good to have a wife.

But why did it feel like he was freeloading?

Freeloading is freeloading. Others can't even do it, can they?

Ji Yao took out another bronze mirror.

"Why are you giving me a mirror?"

"This is a cold iron heart-protecting mirror, a Low Grade Defensive Spiritual Artifact. Not only can it defend, but it can also reflect attacks. Those below the Heaven and Man Realm cannot harm you in the slightest. Quickly, drip blood to acknowledge it as your Master."

Jiang Yunfan bit his finger and dripped blood onto the mirror. After the mirror absorbed his blood, it transformed into a ray of light and entered his body.

"Yaoer, I will soon become an Inner Sect Disciple. I will definitely catch up to you, and sooner or later, I will make everyone shut up."

"I believe you. I'll wait for you."

Only in front of Jiang Yunfan did Ji Yao shed her cold arrogance as a favored daughter of heaven. She gave her only tenderness and favoritism to him.

"I found a Master for you. He is the Lingyun Peak Master. Once you Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, go to Lingyun Peak and become his Disciple."

A Master has even been found. To find such a wife is truly a blessing I've cultivated for eight lifetimes.
