Chapter 114: Senior Sisters Request (1/2)

In short, no matter what was behind this strange tree, since it was in his hands, Jiang Li had to obtain it.

However, it was a pity that his clone did not have a storage artifact. Jiang Li scratched his head and felt a headache coming on.

It was impossible for the clone to carry the tree around.

The speed at which his body rode the Dragon Imprisoning Lock was far inferior to the flying sword. It would probably take him at least half a month to retrieve it personally.

If the clone left, would the tree immediately open its eyes and flee?

After all, the mouth on this statue was not a decoration. What if the legs could also move?

There were all kinds of strange things in the cultivation world. This kind of possibility was indeed likely.

After thinking about it, Jiang Li formed hand seals and controlled the flying sword to quickly dance on the top of the cave, carving out lines.

From time to time, he would produce a spirit talisman and paste it around the area. Soon, using the talismans as the array core, he carved out a simple fire attribute trapping array on the ceiling.

Three more spirit stones were placed as the energy source as the entire array formation immediately emitted a faint red light.

To be safe, his clone did not leave. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.

...

Looking at the temporary hideout of the Scripture Storage Valley's Demon Vanquishing Hall a thousand miles away,

Jiang Li's main body woke up from his cultivation. Because he and Senior Sister Liu Mulan were usually on night shift, the day was when he cultivated Qi Refinement.

He let out a long sigh. Not long ago, his Ghost Wood Art had already broken through to the sixth level.

Under the endless flow of spiritual qi, he almost did not feel any bottleneck, so he naturally crossed it.

As for the next level of the Ghost Wood Art, he would be at the late-stage Qi Refinement realm after reaching it.

Jiang Li scratched his head. He realized that his previous calculations were wrong.

Previously, using the speed at which he refined the spiritual qi in the fourth level of the Ghost Wood Art, he estimated that he would need about two years to reach the peak of the Qi Refinement realm and break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

However, the problem was, could the refinement speed of the fourth level of the Qi Refinement realm be the same as the refinement speed of the sixth level?

Obviously not.

The higher his cultivation level, the stronger his cultivation method was. Although the difficulty of cultivating continued to increase, the speed at which he absorbed and refined spiritual qi would only become faster and faster.

”My good master, I am happy for you. What a genius disciple you have taken in!” Jiang Li muttered to himself while the smile on his face was impossible to conceal.

Of course, he was purely happy for the sake of his master.

However, what excuse should he use to ask Senior Sister if he wanted to take leave?

He scratched his head, looking troubled again.

...

”What? You're saying you want to go out alone to train?!” A roar sounded from Senior Liu's room.

Their master usually spoke so slowly and leisurely. Who knew where this Senior Sister Liu had learned how to roar?

”Senior Sister Mulan, listen to me. I did this because I listened to Master's arrangements.”

Jiang Li said a few words that Elder He used to scare him when he was bragging earlier.

Without saying a word, he took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles and the blood tattoo on his back that had begun to dim.

”How… How long have you been out of the sect for? Is this blood tattoo going to be exhausted already?”

Senior Sister Liu Mulan was not shy. After all, she was also a body cultivator and had often seen her fellow disciples revealing their muscles. She did not have much of a reaction to this scene.

She came forward to touch the blood tattoo on Jiang Li's body, feeling extremely surprised.

The other disciples under Elder He, including her, would need at least five months to consume a beast blood tattoo during the Qi Refinement realm.
