After Favorability Is Maxed

Gush!

Another white wave appeared in the Green River. The boat swayed slightly, but was quickly stabilized by the flashing array. Two water marks appeared on the stern of the boat. In fact, it did not even shake.

On the bow deck, there were a few young disciples of the Jade Mirage Sect in black Daoist robes. They were half male and half female. They sat cross-legged in a circle and retracted their palms. With their five hearts facing the sky, they meditated and regulated their breathing, calming the spiritual power in their bodies.

These disciples were all carrying out missions outside and had been temporarily transferred over because of the Martial Emperor’s Tomb. Most of them were of the generation with the character ‘Ling’ and only a few of them were of the generation with the character ‘Ming’.

“This formation can last for half a month, we can finally rest for a while,” one of them said happily.

The other man sighed and leaned back, his hands holding the wooden board behind him. “Sigh, in the end, Misty Rain House actually got that Southern Dipper Dark Grass… Even Taiqing Pavilion only found a Pill Sun Jade.”

“Didn’t we also find the Life and Death Lotus Root? There are many treasures in that Secret Realm, but most of them are still in the state of seedlings, perhaps because they were not nourished by spiritual energy before. They are useless now, so I can only return to the sect and transplant them.”

“Misty Rain Tower is too lucky, aww!”

“Didn’t you hear what Senior Sister said at that time? So the Misty Rain House relies on spirit veins to cultivate, so they should be able to sense these natural treasures.”

“That’s true.”

“Also, I didn’t expect the ancient records to be true about the demon possession… The appearance of the host would also change, becoming that terrifying and ugly appearance.”

The one who spoke was a girl in a Daoist robe. She made a face and said, “Hmph, if I really go to the battlefield in the future and get possessed, I’ll definitely commit suicide at the first opportunity. I’ll never be so ugly!”

“Hehe, you say this now, but when that time comes, you’ll definitely be crying in a corner. But since that Jiang Feng took the initiative to tell us the location of the demon race, he shouldn’t really be possessed, right…?”

“Shush, don’t talk nonsense. This matter should be decided by the elders in the sect. Be careful of being punished.”

“Oh…”

These young disciples of the Jade Mirage were excitedly discussing this rare experience.

Usually, disciples of their level would never be sent to carry out such a dangerous mission. However, this time, the incident was sudden, and the nearby disciples were gathered at the last minute. This was the ‘adventure’ that had greatly increased their knowledge.

The other pretty girl rolled her eyes and suddenly laughed. “Aiya, what’s the point of saying all this? what do you guys think is the relationship between that Jiang Feng and Eldest Senior Sister? They’re old acquaintances, but how old are they exactly? …I don’t think they’re just friends.”

The young girl spoke with certainty and put on a serious expression, causing the people around her to laugh.

“Only you know so much. With Eldest Senior Sister’s personality, how could she be afraid?”

Suddenly, a deep voice was heard. It coughed twice and said in a rather stern ton. “Alright, since the formation has been completed, why don’t you quickly go to your respective places to stand guard? there are many demons under the river. If something goes wrong, you’ll be held responsible.”

The person was Ling Jie, one of the three aces of the Jade Palace, ranked ninth on the Divine Heroes Earth List.

Although he was also of the generation with the word ‘Ling’, compared to these young disciples, he had entered the sect earlier. At once, these disciples all stood up in a panic and saluted, calling him ‘Senior Brother’, ‘Uncle-Master’, and so on.

“Hurry up and go!” Ling Jie pretended to be angry and shouted.

The young disciples quickly responded and quickly scattered to the places they were responsible for.

However, a few of them could not help but glance at the smaller ship in front of them.

They were on one of the ships that the Jade Mirage Sect had sent back to the sect. There were three other ‘Starfall’ ships.

Although it looked no different from an ordinary ship, it was driven by spiritual power. As long as the formation was activated, it could travel in the water and in the air, which was much faster than flying on a sword. It also had a defensive function and was stable.

The Martial Emperor’s Tomb was located in the northwest of the Central Plains, under the cliff of the White Dragon River, to the East of the Sword Pavilion of the Shu nation, to the South of the Misty Rain House, and tens of thousands of miles away from the Jade Mirage Sect in the northeast.

The Central Plains was vast. Back then, when Shen Sifan was at the Void Refinement stage and had one of the best sword Dao cultivators, it took her more than a month to fly from the Central Plain’s Taiqing Pavilion to the Water Moon Dock of the Jiang Kingdom in the southeast on her flying sword. The distance was about the same, and she did it almost day and night without stopping.

Moreover, they did not have Shen Sifan’s cultivation realm and sword-riding skills. They were just young ordinary disciples. With so many people, it was naturally more appropriate to use a vehicle.

The other three ships were relatively small, and their ship was the largest, so it naturally carried the most people. The other ship also carried fellow disciples, and the last one carried Jiang Feng’s companion and a few elders of the Sheng generation.

As for the people at the very front, they were naturally the Eldest Senior Sister, the man suspected to be possessed by a demon, Jiang Feng, and the Grand Elder of the Sky Treasure Pavilion.

Ling Jie noticed the small actions of these disciples, but did not reprimand them… He was amused as he looked at these junior brothers and sisters who were still children scurrying around like monkeys, as if afraid that he would scold them, and they would run away in a moment.

In fact, he himself was full of doubts.

“Sigh.”

For some reason, Ling Jie had a premonition that something big was going to happen in the sect. He could not help but sigh heavily and look away from the ship in front.

The fight for the position of the Sect Master of the Jade Mirage Sect had reached an unimaginably intense level.

LIng Jie secretly spat at himself and swallowed his words.

He stepped onto the side of the boat, and a cool wind brushed past his face, instantly refreshing his spirit. He let out a long breath and looked at the rolling waves on the water and the scenery on both sides of the shore. He estimated that it would take about half a month to return to the sect.

They were now at the main stream of the White Dragon River, which flowed from the snowy mountains, called the ‘Spirit Transformation River’. According to rumors, there was once a true dragon here. When the dragon’s shadow entered the river, it transformed into a demonic beast spirit, so it was called the Spirit Transformation River.

However, because no one had ever seen it, most people thought it was just a rumor.

However, Liu Yuan knew that this was true.

This was because this was a random boss in the wild, ‘Spirit-Transformed Dragon Shadow’. The rewards were quite rich… especially since there was a good-quality bow.

However, even if he was very tempted now, he could not go into the water and just pull out the dragon’s tendons and peel the dragon scales.

Liu Yuan’s gaze shifted down. The rope on his wrist glowed like gold and iron. It was wrapped tightly with a talisman. Even if he equipped Ling Hua’s card, he would not be able to break free.

Not only that, he was now in a half-laying down state, and there was a soft and delicate body leaning behind him. The faint sandalwood fragrance on Ling Hua’s body was emitting a slightly warm body temperature, making one’s heart flutter.

Her hand gently stroked Liu Yuan’s hair and face over and over again, causing the latter to feel a little scared. Finally, he could not help but say, “Ling Hua…”

The woman behind him paused for a moment, then said gently, “Call me by my pet name.”

Liu Yuan, “…Xuanji jiaoer.”
