I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 463: Chapter 421: A Nighttime Chat over Wine (Double-Length)

As the tri-sect joint competition approached, the outer disciples began returning to the sect one after another.

Previously, Jiang Yuebai disliked socializing. When others visited, she wouldn’t see them, being absorbed in cultivation and study.

This time, however, she set aside her cultivation, visiting elders, meeting fellow disciples, discussing the Dao, sparring, and making plans to hang out, rarely staying on Heavenly Cry Peak.

On the second day after Wenn Miao and Lii Jiuchuan returned, the joint competition of the Heavenly Interence Sect, Guiyuan Sword Sect, and Vajra Platform began.

Still finding it troublesome, Wenn Miao, just like last time, tossed all the Qi Cultivation disciples into the small world of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Mirror, while the Foundation Establishment disciples engaged in arena battles on Heavenly Killing Peak.

Jiang Yuebai, Yun Shang, Ge Yuchan, Hee Wangchen, Song Zhi’ang, Xie Jingshan, and those like Zhuo Qingfeng from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, who were thrown in last time, now sat calmly watching from the stands on Heavenly Chief Peak.

Xie Jingshan had even secretly brought alcohol, pulling Zhuo Qingfeng and the Guiyuan Five Heroes over to drink and discuss the current generation of geniuses from each sect, claiming they were far behind their time.

Xie Jingshan took out his Memory Jade showing his past swordplay breaking an array, remarking that Hee Wangchen’s array was poorly laid out back in the day. Ge Yuchan made a noise beside him, and Xie Jingshan’s arrogance subsided, his lower back subtly aching.

The only regret was that Lu Nanzhi and Shen Huaxi were not there.

Jiang Yuebai hadn’t even sipped twice before her wine urn was empty, and everyone was the same.

After looking around for a long time, Jiang Yuebai realized it was the Supreme Elder Wenn Miao, sitting formally beside Sect Master Wenn Ci, speaking with the Nascent Soul cultivators from Guiyuan Sword Sect and Vajra Platform, while stealthily stealing wine from them.

She wasn’t drinking with her mouth but directly absorbing the wine through her fingertips, a signature move of hers.

Upon being discovered, Wenn Miao righteously transmitted to them.

”With outsiders present, how can you, as Golden Core Masters of the Heavenly Interence Sect, sneakily drink wine? Confiscated!”

”This is the top beam not straight and the bottom beam crooked.”

Jiang Yuebai retorted directly, sticking out her tongue at Wenn Miao, whose rare childlike behavior brought a chuckle from Wenn Miao, and she didn’t scold her.

After watching the Qi Cultivation disciples’ competition for a day, it felt like chicken pecking at each other, so Jiang Yuebai dragged Yun Shang and Ge Yuchan to watch the Foundation Establishment discples’ arena battles.

True Monarch Cang Huo had recruited a few more disciples over the past two years, and Yun Shang couldn’t recognize them all. She nodded, red-faced, to those who called her martial aunt.

”My master intends to take on another disciple this year, so I have to help her observe.”

Ge Yuchan watched intently, helping True Monarch Fantao record the situation of the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Heavenly Interence Sect’s current generation.

Jiang Yuebai encountered a Foundation Establishment stage martial monk who brought her a letter from Little Monk Niankong and a package of snacks taken from the kitchen of Vajra Platform.

Niankong had become a big monk, and the letter said he was doing well at Vajra Platform, enjoying it very much, and mentioned that while reading the ”Prajna Sutra,” he had a dream one night of a particularly good-looking monk in red, who asked Niankong to thank Jiang Yuebai on his behalf.

Jiang Yuebai wasn’t sure if Ruosheng had a spirit, so he entered Niankong’s dream.

In the Cultivation Realm, who knows for sure? Her ’soul scattered’ grandfather was reincarnated, so maybe Ruosheng would return someday too.

In the crowd, watching the battle, Jiang Yuebai saw Jiangg Ziying and Shi Xiaowu, each on different platforms.

Shi Xiaowu was already in late-stage Foundation Establishment, and Jiangg Ziying had just reached Foundation Establishment two or three years ago.

Jiangg Ziying was battling a female sword cultivator from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, their fight intense with back-and-forth exchanges.

Having often sparred with the disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak in recent years, Jiangg Ziying was familiar with the tactics of sword cultivators. In less than a quarter of an hour, she found a flaw in her opponent’s sword technique and, with a backhanded palm strike, knocked her out of the ring.

”Thank you for letting me win!”

Brave and spirited, Jiangg Ziying, her face aglow, drew cheers from the surrounding disciples, even causing the sword cultivators of Heavenly Sword Peak, who were always at odds with her, to blush secretly.

Meanwhile, Shi Xiaowu was against a late-stage Foundation Establishment martial monk from Vajra Platform, whose body was strong as iron, fists powerful as tigers, posing a tough challenge for Shi Xiaowu, who was on the defensive.

After over sixty rounds, he still lost, prompting Guo Zhen to stomp his foot in frustration, exasperated.

Coming down from the platform, Shi Xiaowu, seeing Jiang Yuebai, lowered his head in guilt, ”Senior sister, am I particularly useless?”

Jiang Yuebai, mimicking Lii Jiuchuan’s usual gentle demeanor, patted Shi Xiaowu’s shoulder, ”Not every cultivator excels in battle methods. Just shine in the domains where you’re best.”

Shi Xiaowu already independently managed a hall in the Heavenly Interence Sect’s Ten Thousand Laws Hall, capable of teaching Golden Core Masters numerology with his Foundation Establishment cultivation.
