I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 521: Chapter 475: Infiltration of the Fulong Sect

The Qingcang Mountain Range stretches across the land like a dragon, extending for tens of thousands of miles, majestic and magnificent, with an overwhelming momentum.

Jiang Yuebai climbed the towering Qingcang Mountain on foot, gazing into the distance.

The wind blew through the empty valley, smoke rose from deep chasms, and the sea of clouds surged turbulently, mist enveloping the distant mountains.

Two turbulent torrents thundered down from the clouds above, powerful like galloping horses, resembling wandering dragons.

Amid the turbulent weather, Jiang Yuebai saw several grand and magnificent floating islands, scattered at varying heights, standing beneath the firmament, with numerous pavilions adorned with carved beams and painted rafters.

Dragons rolled in the sea of clouds, stirring up waves of mist, provoking a surge of heroism in one’s heart.

Huge shadows thundered from behind, and Jiang Yuebai turned to see three five-clawed golden dragons towing a splendidly decorated tower ship, navigating through the rainbow between the floating islands.

The ship was filled with disciples from the Fulong Sect, returning from abroad, laughing and chatting merrily.

On the mast of the ship, a white-clothed male cultivator stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an immortal aura, his brows and eyes indifferent, his presence awe-inspiring.

The tower ship slowly sailed out from the sea of clouds, and Jiang Yuebai saw three giant iron cages hanging beneath, crammed with lifeless dragons, numbering three to four dozen at the very least.

Ring——

Ring——

Ring——

”Welcome True Venerable Tianyou back victorious!”

The morning bell resonated, and voices of congratulation echoed from various floating islands.

Beside Jiang Yuebai, the guiding disciple looked with awe and pride, ”That’s our Fulong Sect’s First Seat of Divinity Transformation, True Venerable Tianyou, who just returned victorious from the West Sea. Look at this achievement, far surpassing anything from Fairy Fuyu of Biyou Palace.”

The guiding disciple led Jiang Yuebai towards the Inner Affairs Hall, and Jiang Yuebai retrieved her gaze and quickly followed.

”How many Divinity Transformation True Venerables do Fulong Sect have? And what about Refining Void Star Monarchs and Integration Dao Lords?”

The guiding disciple spoke proudly, ”Our Fulong Sect has been much stronger than Biyou Palace these past two years, with eleven Divinity Transformation True Venerables, two Refining Void Star Monarchs, and Star Monarch Zifeng is in long-term seclusion. Currently, the battles in the West Sea are mainly coordinated by Star Lord Wuchang.”

”As for Integration Dao Lords... we previously had one, but unfortunately fell during Tribulation Crossing. Biyou Palace faced the same fate; their Integration Dao Lord also fell during Tribulation Crossing. Currently, the entire Green Dragon Realm only has True Martial Immortal Sect with an Integration Dao Lord.”

”But it’s alright; Star Monarch Zifeng of our Fulong Sect is currently in death seclusion. If successful, advancing to Integration within a hundred years shouldn’t be an issue.”

Jiang Yuebai recalled what Supreme Elder had mentioned, that the Heavenly Interence Sect has eight Divinity Transformation True Venerables and two Refining Void Star Monarchs in the Upper Realm, and doesn’t seem far off from Fulong Sect.

Unfortunately, Fulong Sect has the mighty Qingcang Mountain in Green Dragon Realm, whereas Heavenly Interence Sect doesn’t even have an Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm.

They walked to Fulong Sect’s Inner Affairs Hall, and a Han white jade square, flanked by six Coiled Dragon Pillars, with dragons so vividly carved.

At first glance, Jiang Yuebai thought they were fake, but when she approached, one of the dragons on the pillar suddenly moved, revealing it to be a real dragon.

The dragon had white jade scales, was from the Coiled Dragon Clan among the Ten Great Divine Dragons, liking to coil on pillars, eat jade, and possessed formidable defensive power.

Inside the Inner Affairs Hall, Jiang Yuebai handed the storage bag from Shushan Pavilion to the steward disciple there.

That person, with Peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, looked middle-aged, mustached, with a square face, seemed upright and honest, but after receiving Jiang Yuebai’s storage bag, casually signed a receipt and tossed it to her.

”The goods check out fine, head back and report back.”

Jiang Yuebai held the receipt, forcing a smile, ”Manager Qian, I can’t report back like this.”

Qian Hong’s gaze instantly turned cold, aura becoming gloomy, ”Then what do you want?”

Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, ”Manager Qian, business always has exchanges of goods and silver, this is the third time now, and if accounts aren’t settled this time, I can’t continue working. I’m just a runner; Fulong Sect shouldn’t lack these Spirit Stones, right?”

Qian Hong looked at Jiang Yuebai and chuckled coldly, ”Alright, settle accounts, huh? Our steward elder isn’t here, he needs to approve any Spirit Stone allocations, so wait here.”

Jiang Yuebai hurriedly nodded, ”Sure, I’ll wait. I won’t disturb you working, I’ll wait outside, as long as it takes.”

Jiang Yuebai swiftly ran to a corner outside the Inner Affairs Hall, finding a spot overlooked by others, sitting down with an amused expression and a silly grin.

Inside the Inner Affairs Hall, Qian Hong sneered coldly, ”Young fool, just wait!”

Little did he know, Jiang Yuebai was more than eager to ’wait’ here a few more days, until she had emptied Big Dog Thief’s cave abode.

She didn’t possess a token from Fulong Sect, needing someone to lead her in, and the same for leaving.

The token allowed Fulong Sect disciples free movement in the Outer Sect’s territory, but required an Inner Sect Disciple Token to enter the Inner Sect’s territory, passing through various arrays and barriers.

Recently, luck seemed to be on her side, as Jiang Yuebai subtly questioned the guiding disciple, learning that Daoist Long Ming’s Spiritual Void Mountain was just southeast of the mountain where the Inner Affairs Hall is located.

Jiang Yuebai could now see within the mist, the floating mountain with cascading waterfalls, filled with ancient pines and cypress.

”This distance is just right for the limit of my Divine Sense to manipulate the clone.”

Her current body of a Shushan Pavilion clerk had to stay here in the Inner Affairs Hall, to divert attention.

Even though she had a clone, and both Divine Concealment Talisman and Turtle Breath Talisman, this is within Fulong Sect, and she never knew if she might encounter a Nascent Soul True Monarch halfway.

At that time, a single sweep could break her invisibility, and it’d be hard to explain away an outsider’s identity. If trapped by Fulong Sect’s array, it wouldn’t even require bothering Fulong Sect’s Refining Void Star Monarch; any Divinity Transformation cultivator could take her life.

True Venerable Tianyou, acknowledged as Fulong Sect’s top Divinity Transformation True Venerable, just returned to the sect. He seemed like trouble.

Moreover, within someone else’s sect, the underground array network crisscrossed like an iron barrel. Her White Vine couldn’t just stretch randomly, triggering a line in the array network and... boom!

Thus, she needed a Fulong Sect disciple’s identity.

Jiang Yuebai glanced at the side hall of the Inner Affairs Hall, where sect missions are taken.

Jiang Yuebai, with ample patience, waited from dawn to noon, meanwhile going inside several times asking when the steward elder would return, checking anyone resembling the elder thoroughly.

Meanwhile, for every Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment disciple passing by the Inner Affairs Hall entrance, she would stealthily wrap her hair around their ankle, observing what missions they took.

Among them were two who accepted tasks from Spiritual Void Mountain; one was for weeding, and the other was to feed dragons at the back mountain.

These were unsuitable, for weeding only reached the outskirts of Spiritual Void Mountain, unable to get close to inhabited areas, while the mountain’s rear consisted of two separate floating islands guarding the main island from behind, further away.

Jiang Yuebai continued to wait.

At dusk, an ordinary-looking blue-clothed male cultivator arrived, Spiritual Light flashing about him, appearing to have just broken through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, with a Fulong Sect Outer Sect Disciple Token at his waist.

Upon landing, he glanced suspiciously at Jiang Yuebai in Shushan Pavilion attire, upon seeing her as an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, his eyes showed some pity, he sighed, shook his head and entered the side hall of the Inner Affairs Hall.

Jiang Yuebai’s hair entwined unnoticed around his ankle, ’seeing’ him deliberating as he considered for a quarter of an hour, and chose a task caring for Spiritual Void Mountain herb gardens, rejected several times that day.

Due to Daoist Long Ming’s fall, disciples either left or dispersed from Spiritual Void Mountain, leaving only a few loyal direct disciples to hold the fort, causing a shortage of manpower in the largest herb garden within Spiritual Void Mountain.

Before Spiritual Void Mountain was taken over by a Nascent Soul, the spiritual medicine in its herb garden still needed care.

”Qir An, right? The herb garden task lasts three years, every six months you must submit the exact amount of spiritual medicine, if it’s lacking you must make up for it yourself, are you sure you want to take it?”

”The Cold Pond in Spiritual Void Mountain aids my cultivation somewhat, three years feels too short, rest assured senior brother, I studied alchemy and previously helped Master Sikong care for herb gardens, senior brother can check the records.”

Soon, the male disciple named Qir An smoothly took on the task, and received Spiritual Void Mountain’s herb garden token.

As Qir An walked out the side hall, suddenly his ankle felt like a needle prick, puzzled, he lowered his head, Divine Sense scanning over his ankle without finding anything abnormal, glanced again at Jiang Yuebai still waiting outside the Inner Affairs Hall, and flew on a cloud towards Spiritual Void Mountain.

Jiang Yuebai’s lips slightly curled, her eyes sly.

”Qir An, when combined, means ’money’? What a good name and omen, you’re the one!”
