I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 307: Chapter 271: Setting Sail

The spring breeze stretches for miles, with waves of wheat undulating.

A few Spiritual Cultivators finished irrigating the Spiritual Field using the Cloud Rain Technique, wiped their sweat, and looked out at the distant mountain terraces. Amidst the swirling mist, clusters of dark green tea trees thrived, their aroma intoxicating.

”Master, what kind of tea grows in our valley? It’s so fragrant, just smelling it stirs my Dantian.”

The seven-year-old apprentice who had just entered the valley wrinkled his nose, asking his master.

”That’s not ordinary tea, it’s Yuan Nourishing Tea personally cultivated by the remarkable Master Jiang from Heavenly Cry Peak, the main ingredient of Yuan Nourishing Elixir.”

”Doesn’t the book say that the main ingredient of Yuan Nourishing Elixir is Yuan Nourishing Grass? How did it become tea?”

”You little brat, what do you know! When the first batch of Yuan Nourishing Tea is harvested this autumn, if we really can refine the Yuan Nourishing Elixir, then we’ll just specialize in growing this. It’s easier to tend than Spiritual Grain and more valuable.”

”May Heavenly Dao bless us with success, then the price of Yuan Nourishing Elixir will surely drop, and its production can increase. Those of us poor in aptitude as Spiritual Cultivators will be able to buy more Yuan Nourishing Elixirs, and our hopes for Foundation Establishment will be bigger. May everything go smoothly for Master Jiang, living long to benefit us humble cultivators who toil the Earth.”

The young apprentice tilted his head, watching his master press his hands together in prayer, thinking that Master Jiang was surely a good person.

Green mountains and waters, willow smoke and floral mist.

Two Foundation Establishment Stage Sword Cultivators from Heavenly Sword Peak hiding in the trees beside the path were full of resentment.

”That heinous Jiang! I’ve never seen such a despicable and shameless person!”

”Stop cursing, you’ve cursed for two years already. What’s the use? Can’t beat her then, can’t beat her now.”

”Is it really that we can’t beat her? She ambushes suddenly, charges at us straight away. By the time we react to fight back, she’s already fled, can that be considered losing?”

”The first year, the first few times, we indeed couldn’t beat her, but later it felt like she was going through the motions, never intending to truly fight us.”

”But she’s really annoying! Once a month, we’re completely unprepared! Disguised as a runner from the Inner Affairs Hall, sneaking in with the food cart, even posing as Junior Brother Xie. The worst was when we changed the Great Array, she managed to disguise herself as the Sword Monarch and made us open the Great Array, then stand in a row before her... Sigh!”

”I have to say, she’s really clever, she imitated the Sword Monarch nine percent perfectly that time, and someone almost drew their sword when they met the real Sword Monarch the next day, haha.”

”Shh! Someone’s coming, looks like Junior Brother Xie, but it’s definitely fake. When they come over later, let’s just beat them first.”

On Heavenly Hero Peak.

True Monarch Cang Huo summoned Yun Shang and Song Zhi’ang before him, speaking earnestly.

”Jiang Yuebai burns bridges after crossing them, took what she needed and dumped the rest, she only left this book, ’Three Hundred Moves to Cry Sky Sword Peak.’ For now, you two are the only disciples still at Foundation Establishment Stage on Heavenly Hero Peak, the responsibility of bringing glory to Heavenly Hero Peak falls to you.”

Yun Shang looked anxious, while Song Zhi’ang seemed resigned.

In the Ten Thousand Laws Hall.

Li Fantao looked at the farewell letter Jiang Yuebai had pressed onto the table with a peach blossom branch, sighed long and deep.

”Today’s springtime is exceptionally beautiful, let’s go for an outing with Yuchan.”

On Heavenly Cry Peak.

Qii Yue, along with the newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple Jiangg Ziying, walked up the mountain path, only to see Danggui dashing out, meowing his heart out and desperately sorrowful.

Mountain Lord Qionglin suddenly pounced from within the forest, swiping Danggui over. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Danggui arched his back, fur standing on end, baring his teeth at Mountain Lord Qionglin.

Meow-ow!

Roar—

Meow?

Owooo!

Meow, meow, meow?

Roar!

Meow-woo~

Qii Yue and Jiangg Ziying stared, confused, watching Danggui suddenly calm down, a bit happy, following Mountain Lord Qionglin into the woods, even pawing at the tail from behind.

Qii Yue chuckled and shook his head, leading Jiangg Ziying into the courtyard, which was finally occupied after being vacant for years.

Looking out to the distant mountains, a majestic large Floating Boat raised its sails, setting out from the peak of Heavenly Gang Peak.

Passing Heavenly Chief Peak, under the watchful eye of Sect Master Wenn Ci, Zhao Fuyi bowed farewell, breaking the winds and clouds, leaving Heavenly Interence Sect.

Zhao Fuyi stood by the railing at the ship’s bow, watching Li Shen Zhi, accompanied by Tang Weimian and Hee Wangchen, orchestrating the Array Dao disciples from Heavenly Gang Peak in carrying various Arraying Devices into the ship’s hold.

Master Lingjun was talking at one of the railings with Master Fuyu.

”Finally can stop lecturing, these classes are impossible to teach anymore, my exotic travel experience is not enough to talk about.”

”Senior Brother, this time out is perfect for gaining more experience, you’ll have new lectures when you return.”

Zhao Fuyi withdrew his gaze. Additionally, two other Golden Core Masters had gone in advance to North Sea, renting islands from Feiyan Pavilion for their party as temporary bases.

With Divinity Transformation on the horizon for Zhao Fuyi, there were three main goals for this voyage.

Firstly, it was to arrange a Great Array in foreign seas, preparing to face the Divinity Transformation Heavenly Tribulation.

Secondly, it was to provide guidance to disciples gifted in Array Dao before her departure.

Thirdly... let’s not mention it!

Sweeping his gaze over the deck, a large wooden box pasted with talismans made Zhao Fuyi squint his eyes, and he examined it attentively for a moment.

”There’s actually a stowaway mouse on this ship.”

”What mouse?” Hee Wangchen foolishly walked over and asked, inspecting the box and then looking at his master, ”In this box? I’ll open and take a look.”

”No need to look, just throw the box overboard.” Zhao Fuyi coldly instructed.

”Don’t throw it!” Jiang Yuebai hurriedly emerged from the box, ”It’s me, not a mouse.”

Seeing Jiang Yuebai, Hee Wangchen was confused, ”Senior Sister Jiang, why are you on our ship?”

Jiang Yuebai cautiously glanced at Zhao Fuyi, who remained expressionless. The others on deck also stared at her, making her scalp tingle.

”I just ... wanted to surprise you all?”

Zhao Fuyi chuckled wryly, ”You’re just scared about owing debts to the Sect and the Supreme Elder forbidding you from going out to gain experience!”

”Didn’t you also have unpaid debts...” Jiang Yuebai muttered under her breath.

Zhao Fuyi frowned.

Jiang Yuebai quickly said, ”I’m in awe of True Monarch Fuyi’s unparalleled grace, eager to learn from your knowledge in Array Dao, fearing you might leave and never return. I also feared my own dullness might displease you, hence I secretly followed, hoping to head to the North Sea with you to study Array Dao.”

This speech was so convincing, Li Shen Zhi nodded, while Tang Weimian hastily spoke up.

”Master, since that’s the case, why not bring Junior Sister Jiang along, she could be considered half a disciple of yours.”

Zhao Fuyi ultimately relented and looked at Jiang Yuebai, ”This here is not your indulgent and carefree Heavenly Cry Peak, nor am I your patient Master Lii Jiuchuan. The North Sea is not a peaceful land, especially the foreign seas where we are headed; it’s the realm of Fierce Beasts, where High-Level Fierce Beasts roam without restraint and the danger is immense. You must follow orders in all matters, refrain from recklessness or independent actions; if you can promise this, then I’ll keep you, if not, you can leave on your own.”

”I can, I can, I definitely can, I’m the most rule-abiding person, don’t worry.”

Jiang Yuebai scrambled out of the box, smiling at Zhao Fuyi.

”Weimian, she will share a cabin with you, I’ll go into seclusion, do not disturb unless it’s serious.”

Zhao Fuyi ordered and then left, Jiang Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, taking in the sight of those around her on the deck.

Seeing Master Lingjun, who had taught her before, Jiang Yuebai was about to greet him when Master Lingjun grinned and walked away.
