There were only two Soul Formation Supremacies in the entire Gui Yi Sect, between them, Supremacy Tian Ji never takes in disciples whereas Supremacy Tian Yi’s wing is already full of disciples. This sword cultivator supremacy was new, and it seems like he does not have any disciples and only selected two disciples to tidy the place. Then he would be selecting disciples sooner or later, if they could be chosen, just a pointer would be enough for them.

For a while, the entire sect was immersed in the anticipation of that Supremacy recruiting disciples, even the news of Shu Yi becoming Supremacy Tian Ji’s personal disciple did not gain much attention.

This anticipation lasted three whole months but that floating peak that had yet to be named did not stir at all. Don’t mention selecting disciples, not even a figure left that mountain. There were only rumors that a delectable fragrance could be smelled occasionally from the Dan Xia Mountain beneath, not sure why the reason?

At the mention of Dan Xia Mountain, its peak master Tian Yi was slightly irritated. He knew that there was another Soul Formation Supremacy that came to their doorstep and also learned about what happened at the main peak that day. After all something as big as the Protective Mountain Array being broken in a second, it was impossible that he wouldn’t. However, at that time, he was in a hurry to refine pills and seeing that Yu Luan did not activate the communication talisman, he did not rush over.

Later on, when he learned that it was trouble that Tian Ji’s careless mouth caused, the more he didn’t want to interfere. Though both of them were the only two Soul Formation cultivators of the sect, their relationship wasn’t the best. Mainly because Tian Ji was too arrogant and lofty, and always did things his own way because his cultivation was higher, never taking others’ thoughts into consideration. When he said he wouldn’t take in disciples, he really did not for several thousands of years, when he said he did not want to be a pill refining tool for the sect, he really never made a single pill for the sect all these years.

But Gui Yi Sect needed to operate, there were two of them high level cultivators in the sect, when he refused, the responsibility naturally fell to him. So if he must say he didn’t have any grudges at all, it was impossible. Hence, when someone helped to teach this conceited Junior Brother of his a lesson this time, he was rather glad to see it happen and even specially made time to go visit the injured Tian Ji.

There was more or less some joy at the bottom of his heart but extreme joy begets sorrow. Because he realized there was suddenly another floating peak above Dan Xia Mountain, that sword cultivator had brought it here and it floated right above them. At the beginning, he didn’t mind, later on, he then realized that he had chosen to stay on Dan Xia Mountain back then because he had taken a fancy to its location.

This Dan Xia Mountain was the tallest, sunlight was abundant and Spirit Qi was rich, most suitable for planting spirit herbs, especially high level spirit herbs. But ever since there was another floating peak above them, though the Spirit Qi wasn’t affected, more than half the sunlight was blocked, for days on end, all those precious spirit herbs of his were all droopy, the sight of it made him pained and anxious.

Anger instantly stirred within, no longer able to hold back, he turned and flew towards the floating peak above. So what if he was a sword cultivator, does a high level cultivation mean one can be unreasonable? He arrived above the floating peak filled with rage, then was stunned once he landed.

His eyes widened abruptly at the scene before him and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, could anyone come tell him if he had gone blind?

What did he see, everywhere in sight, all over the entire floating peak, was densely grown spirit herbs! And they were high level spirit herbs, a rich Spirit Qi mixed with the fragrance of herbs wafted to him. There was even a number of high-level variant herbs that even he couldn’t totally differentiate. Everything before his eyes was the ultimate ideal of core cultivators.

What Dan Xia Mountain, what abundant sunlight, what reason, he wished he could throw all of that off this mountain right now. With such a field of spirit herbs, anything else had to give way.

Tian Yi swallowed with difficulty and gave himself several hard pinches before he confirmed that this wasn’t a dream. There were really high level spirit herbs grown everywhere here, every stem was something that a core cultivator dreamed of. Also, he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, though there were many varieties, these spirit herbs were totally disorderly, a stem of level six one on the left, a level seven one on the left, they grew very randomly. Instead of being specially planted, they looked like they’d casually sprouted on their own.

However, he immediately rejected his own guess in the next second, the habits of every spirit herb was different, if they weren’t carefully planted, how could so many high level spirit herbs appear all of a sudden.

Could it be that they new Soul Formation cultivator, though was a sword cultivator but also had knowledge of spirit herbs or pill refinement? He felt a burning in his heart at once, feeling even more pressed to meet that fellow Daoist named Yi Qing, no! Junior Brother Yi Qing! After his detailed reasoning, he completely forgot that he was here to stir trouble.

Looking left and right, he was about to go seek out the person but realized that the spirit herbs were grown way too densely, there was no space for him to retreat at all. If he directly mounted his sword, he was afraid he would damage the spirit herbs beside him and stir up the resentment of the sword cultivator he had never met and was stuck in a dilemma. Searching around, he was intending to see if there were anybody else around that could give him a hand, but this was the foot of the mountain, it was empty all around. Besides, he had heard that ever since appearing a few months ago, there were only two other disciples on it besides that Soul Formation sword cultivator.

He panicked, while considering if he should send a voice transmission to his disciples at Dan Xia Mountain below, he suddenly heard a crunch, as if someone was nibbling on something. He paused for a moment and searched for the source of the sound.

He then realized that unsure when, on a rock not too far away, sat a lady, she was holding a red spirit fruit in a hand and taking bites out of it. There was even a water bottle beside her, she stared at him with a slightly bored look, like she had been doing so for a long time.

Tian Yi was delighted, not even having the time to figure out when she appeared, he hurriedly gestured to her. “Lady, that young lady…”

“Me?” Shen Ying faltered and cocked her head to a side.

“Yes yes yes, it’s you!” Tian Yi nodded continuously. “Could you come over and pull me out.” If she could ride over on a sword and pull him out, they wouldn’t damage the spirit herbs around him.

“You’re stuck?” Shen Ying asked.

Tian Yi hesitated for a moment but still nodded. “Yes, I’d have to trouble… you young lady.”

“Oh.”

How troublesome!

Shen Ying exhaled deeply, but still continued crunching on the fruit in her hand, until she finished the fruit and dumped the core. She then shifted her feet and slowly dragged herself up from the rock.

Tian Yi let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was just because she did not know his identity and did not lay it bare either, only saying softly, “Miss you just need…” Yet before he could finish, he saw a scene that broke his heart in the next moment.

That lady bounced off the rock with a leap and left two big holes in the field of spirit herbs, then trudged over patches and patches of spirit herbs. Trampling across a vast area of high level spirit herbs were trampled, then stopped in a spot two steps away from him and graciously reached out a hand still covered with fruit juice to him.

Tian Yi: “…”

Pui…

He instantly felt a mouthful of blood shoot out, a sky dotted with stars filled his vision.
