Over the next two days, Jiang Yun did not leave Hidden Peak by even half a step, staying by Gu Bu Lao's side the entire time, raising all his questions about Cultivation, and Gu Bu Lao patiently explained them one by one.
Although Dongfang Bo had explained things to Jiang Yun before, in terms of understanding and breadth of vision, he was naturally far inferior to Gu Bu Lao. Therefore, in these short two days, Jiang Yun gained a lot from Cultivation, and it laid an incredibly solid foundation for his future growth.
Just like that, the third day finally arrived. Gu Bu Lao once again handed Jiang Yun a Storage Ring and said, “Here is a map to the Luo Family, and also the birthday gift I prepared for the Luo Family Old Ancestor. Is there anything else you need? Tell me now, and I’ll try my best to satisfy you!”
Jiang Yun shook his head and said, “No, there isn’t!”
Jiang Yun had never cared about external possessions. Back when he left Mang Mountain, he took nothing but a black stone. Now, leaving Wen Dao Sect, he already had too many things on him, and he truly didn't need anything else.
“I do have a little something to give you!”
Just then, Dao Tianyou’s voice rang out, and he appeared beside the two of them.
Jiang Yun hurried forward and bowed, saying, “Greetings, Sect Master.”
Dao Tianyou smiled and nodded, then took a small bag and handed it to Jiang Yun, saying, “Wan Hongbo has already received his punishment and gone to face the wall in contemplation. For now, I am temporarily acting as the Hundred Beast Peak Master, and the Illusory Beast Diagram is also under my care. I saw that this Han Ming Winged Bat has a good relationship with you, so I simply took it out and gave it to you.”
Jiang Yun indeed liked that small bat a little. He hadn't expected Dao Tianyou to give it to him, and his heart immediately filled with joy. Naturally, he couldn't bear to refuse, and he somewhat awkwardly accepted the bag.
Dao Tianyou then continued, “But don’t get too happy too soon. Although this Han Ming Winged Bat is a ninth-rank Yao Beast, because it has always stayed within the Illusory Beast Diagram, it is not very accustomed to the outside environment after suddenly leaving, and will therefore fall into a deep sleep for a period of time. So, for now, you can’t rely on it.”
“I understand. Thank you, Sect Master.”
Dongfang Bo and the other two had also arrived and gave Jiang Yun another round of exhortations, until Gu Bu Lao impatiently waved his sleeve and said, “Jiang Yun isn’t not coming back. During this time, all of you Cultivate properly for me. If anyone lets your Junior Brother surpass them, see how I deal with them. Let’s go!”
After speaking, without giving anyone a chance to respond, he swept his large sleeve, and including himself, he directly took Jiang Yun away from Hidden Peak, left Wen Dao Sect, and appeared on a main road.
“I have three more things to instruct you on. First, I do not like to draw attention, so do not say I am your Master when outside, especially when going to the Luo Family. Just say you are a Wen Dao Sect Disciple;”
# More &; New Fastest 5 On I #;
“Second, regardless of whether you can obtain the antidote for your Third Senior Brother, you must return in two years at the latest, because at that time, the Mirage Tower will open, which will also be an opportunity for you to render meritorious service to the Sect;”
“Third, when you return, I hope you can enter the Blessed Land Realm!”
Jiang Yun committed these three matters to memory one by one. He bent his knees, intending to kneel and bow to Gu Bu Lao again, but Gu Bu Lao helped him up and said, “These formalities can be omitted in the future. As long as you have me as your Master in your heart, that’s enough. All right, go!”
Unable to kneel, Jiang Yun could only bow deeply to Gu Bu Lao, bowing all the way to the ground, saying, “Master, then I’m leaving. Please take good care of yourself!”
After staying in Wen Dao Sect for nearly a year and a half, Jiang Yun left again. However, this time, he was no longer the wild boy who had walked out of Mang Mountain, but a Cultivator of the Tongmai Realm Eleventh Layer!
As Jiang Yun’s figure gradually moved away, Dao Tianyou appeared beside Gu Bu Lao and sighed, “Is it right for you to trick your Disciple like this?”
Gu Bu Lao said expressionlessly, “How did I trick him?”
“Although the Demon Refining Luo Family cannot be said to hate my Wen Dao Sect to the bone, they certainly won’t welcome us. You’re sending Jiang Yun to the Luo Family’s birthday celebration as a Wen Dao Sect Disciple—isn’t that clearly setting him up to be tricked?!”
“That’s not tricking him; that’s training him!” Gu Bu Lao coughed and changed the subject, saying, “Have you handled Wan Hongbo’s matter?”
“Yes, don’t worry, he absolutely won’t reveal Jiang Yun’s true Cultivation Realm. By the way, what do you think, is it still possible for Jiang Yun to open the twelfth Meridian and achieve the Great Perfection of the Tongmai Realm?”
“If I say yes, will you believe me!” After dropping this sentence, Gu Bu Lao suddenly burst into laughter and turned to leave.
“Yes?” Dao Tianyou was slightly stunned, but then he suddenly realized and quickly shouted at Gu Bu Lao’s retreating back, “Hey, wait, have you discovered something? Tell me about it…”
Jiang Yun’s departure was known to no one else in the entire Wen Dao Sect, except for Hidden Peak and Dao Tianyou.
However, on the second day after Jiang Yun left, Dao Tianyou suddenly issued an unexpected order to everyone: within three months, recall all Disciples who were outside—Seal the Sect!
Sealing the Sect, completely closing off Wen Dao Sect, meant that no one in the entire Wen Dao Sect was allowed to enter or leave!
Generally speaking, a Sect would only be sealed when it faced a Life and Death crisis. However, now the Sect Master had implemented the Sealing of the Sect, which truly baffled everyone.
However, for the Disciples, this was actually a good thing.
Whether it was Jiang Yun’s deeds or the opening of the eighth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, all of this deeply stimulated them.
Especially the Inner Sect Disciples, who were even more aware of the importance of the Mirage Tower, which would open two years later, to themselves. Therefore, during this period of Sealing the Sect, they could focus all their energy on Cultivation without distractions.
...
Jiang Yun naturally didn't know everything that was happening within Wen Dao Sect. After leaving his Master’s sight, he took out the map and carefully studied it.
The Luo Family was located at the junction of the West, South, and Central Mountain Prefectures, which was very far away. Even if he flew all the way, it would take three to five months, not to mention Jiang Yun couldn’t fly yet.
“However, Master said that there is a teleportation array in Nanxing City that can directly teleport to the Luo Family. At my speed, it will take at most one month to reach Nanxing City, and the Luo Family Old Ancestor’s birthday is half a year away. Plus, Master specifically told me to properly experience the myriad aspects of the world, so there’s no need to be too anxious.”
Originally, Jiang Yun had also thought about whether he could pass through Mang Mountain and the Boundary Sea along the way, but the three locations were in three different directions, so he could only abandon this plan.
Fortunately, there were still more than three years until Feng Wuji’s five-year Convention. As for the Road of No Return in the Boundary Sea, Jiang Yun could only trust that Sha Jingshan should be able to protect Lu Xiaoyu.
“Become stronger. As long as I can become stronger, then all problems will be solved easily!”
As this thought emerged, Jiang Yun opened the Demon Refining Brush, entered it, and looked at Baize, saying, “I want to become a Demon Refiner! Can you teach me the Cultivation method for a Demon Refiner right now?!”
