Chapter Forty-Seven Not Enough at All

ock passed through Jiang Yun's eyes.Although this old man was dressed in simple coarse clothes, his body contained a powerful and abundant spiritual energy. Ginger Cloud could deduce that the other p...When Jiang Yun heard the words "master" from Lu Xiaoyu's mouth, he was taken aback at first, then he understood. During the time he was asleep, Elder Sha Jing Shan must have come, and just as he promised him, as long as he brought Lu Xiaoyu back, he would take Lu Xiaoyu as his disciple.

That is to say, Lu Xiaoyu has now become a disciple of Sha Jing Shan and a member of the inner sect.

As it turned out, just as Jiang Yun had fallen asleep, Sha Jing Shan arrived at Cang Feng. After waking up Lu Xiaoyu, he told her everything that had happened without holding back.

Needless to say, after learning everything, Lu Xiaoyu's heart was filled with gratitude for Jiang Yun. Therefore, she didn't immediately head to Baishou Peak, but insisted on staying here until Jiang Yun woke up.

To this, Sha Jing Shan naturally had no objection, because he also held great admiration for Jiang Yun, especially since he hadn't expected Jiang Yun to actually be able to bring back Lu Xiaoyu safely.

Even if Jiang Yun's aptitude wasn't exceptional, he would have considered taking him as a disciple.

Lu Xiaoyu choked back her sobs and said, "Yun Gege, thank you!"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Silly girl, you don't even need to say these things to your own brother, do you"

Regarding how Lu Xiaoyu could possibly cross the red light zone and appear in a tree hollow a hundred miles outside the Beast Trap Forest, Jiang Yun also inquired carefully. However, Lu Xiaoyu herself didn't know, and she couldn't even remember her general experiences after entering the Beast Trap Forest, as if she had just dreamt it all.

Although Jiang Yun also found it strange, since Lu Xiaoyu had returned safely, he naturally wouldn't investigate further. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'm fine now, you should hurry back to Baishou Peak!"

"I'm not leaving, Eastern Brother and the others haven't returned yet. I'll stay here with Elder Yun for a few more days."

"No need, silly girl. The most important thing for you right now is to quickly improve your cultivation. Don't leave Beast Peak no matter what happens."

Jiang Yun's words worked. After this incident, Lu Xiaoyu knew that if she wasn't so weak, if she had enough self-preservation ability, none of this would have happened. So she no longer insisted and reluctantly left Cang Feng.

Before leaving, Lu Xiaoyu took out a jade bottle containing some pills that Sha Jingshan had specially left for Jiang Yun.

To this, Jiang Yun did not refuse. Although he had some opinions about Sha Jing Shan before, since the latter had now truly taken Lu Xiao Yu as his disciple, those opinions had vanished like smoke.

Standing atop the Cangfeng peak, watching as Lu Xiaoyu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Jiang Yun's smile on his face also receded. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly turned his head to look towards Wenda Five Peaks' main peak - Jian Dao Peak!

Although this time Lu Xiaoyu's encounter was safe and sound, even benefiting from misfortune, Jiang Yun was very clear that this matter was not over!

Neither Fang Ruolin nor Fang Yuxuan would ever let themselves off the hook!

Especially Fang Yu-Xuan, with his arrogant personality, facing a mere errand disciple like himself at the last moment, being swept away by a blurry figure. This was an unprecedented humiliation for him, only by killing himself could he wash away the shame.

...Now, my own strength is far inferior to Fang Yuxian's. If Fang Yuxian really wants to cause me trouble, I have no way to deal with it.

Moreover, even if they were willing to let themselves off the hook, they wouldn't let each other off the hook!

As grandpa said, in this world, it's the survival of the fittest. To be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself!

Instead of waiting for the enemy to come looking for us, why don't we strike first and eliminate them

Jiang Yun clenched his fists tightly, slowly retracting his gaze. When his eyes fell upon the waterfall and the hut atop the peak, the coldness in his eyes was replaced by worry.

> "Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister haven't come back yet. Could something have happened to them"

Even if they really encountered an accident, I wouldn't be able to help at all. Ultimately, it's because I'm not strong enough, far from it!

"I want to learn from Second Senior Sister, and go into seclusion for a while. First, I'll adjust my body, and then I'll find a way to quickly improve my cultivation!"

Gingercloud turned and strode back to her own hut, closing the door behind her and beginning her retreat.

……

Just when Jiang Yun was in seclusion, a shocking news spread through the sect again.

This message was brought back by an inner disciple.

This inner disciple, tasked by the sect with a mission to find a specific herb beyond the hundred miles of Beast-Trapped Forest, stumbled upon a shocking sight within that forbidden zone, a place shunned by all disciples.

Near thirty carcasses of ferocious beasts were piled haphazardly beside a swamp, and nearly each one had been eviscerated, the scene extremely bloody.

The inner disciple was stunned by the horrific sight. All the dead beasts were seventh rank or higher, including a few eighth and ninth ranks.

Panic-stricken, the inner disciple immediately rushed back to the sect and spread the astonishing news.

As you can imagine, this news caused a huge stir within the sect. The focus of everyone's attention was naturally on who was responsible for this.

Some speculated that it might have been a group of inner disciples going to the Beast Trap Forest for trials, which led to the death of so many ferocious beasts. However, this speculation was quickly dismissed because the inner disciples from Wufeng had not collectively trained recently. Moreover, the inner disciple who recalled the event said that he had examined several carcasses of the ferocious beasts, and the wounds seemed to have been inflicted by a single person!

Now everyone's speculation focused on a certain elder or peak master, but this guess was quickly overturned by a secret circulating within the Questioning Dao Sect.

It is said that there is an unspoken rule within the sect that Elder Peaks and other cave-dwelling cultivators are not allowed to enter the Beast Trap Forest. Although the reason behind this is unknown, it is certainly not something they would do.

Of course, some people also suspected Jiang Yun, but this suspicion was immediately refuted. As for the reason, everyone knows it well.

Finally, a reasonable candidate who can be accepted by most people appeared — Fang Yuxuan!

Firstly, only Fang Yuxuan, the most talented inner disciple, could possess such strength; secondly, there are people who speak with certainty that after Fang Yuxuan mysteriously disappeared during the small competition that day, he appeared in the Beast's Den and, in a fit of rage, killed so many ferocious beasts!

……

Regarding the news that spread within the sect, Jiang Yun had no idea at all. After three days of quiet cultivation and adjustment, he finally restored his physical condition to its peak, and his injuries were completely healed.

Now he was staring intently at the thirteen pills that appeared before him.

All of these were sent by Shajing Mountain. There were eighteen in total, and Jiangyun used five. The rest are all here now.

Besides diligently cultivating according to the established path, Jiang Yun also had a shortcut that others didn't: the black stone.

However, before he could do that, he needed to figure out the effects and uses of the black stone first.

He didn't have any objects imbued with Dao intent to experiment with before, but now that he has these pills, at least he has a few chances to try.

As for these pills, to be honest, even though they were given by Sha Jing Shan, a cultivator from the celestial realm, Jiang Yun didn't think much of them after carefully examining them. So even if he wasted them all, he wouldn't feel sorry.

Taking out his small compass, Ginger Cloud began testing each of the pills one by one.

The results came quickly, but Jiang Yun was extremely dissatisfied with them. There were only two pills containing the essence of Taoism among them.

"The probability that these elixirs contain the Dao's essence is surprisingly low. To transmute stone into water, at least three strands of Dao are required, and it's still lacking one."

Jiang Yun's brows furrowed. To just give up like this, he felt a bit unwilling. But he couldn't go to Sha Jing Shan again to ask for the elixir. Where could he find those missing threads of understanding

After a moment of thought, Jiang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. With a flick of his wrist, thirteen beads the size of dragon eyes appeared before him— beast pills!ivation level at all, the fact that he could be stationed here meant his strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.
