Chapter 347: You Are Tired from Cultivation

However, compared to the effort expended, the gains from this journey were considerable.

Not only did Ji Yang’s realm rise to the Late Spirit Transformation stage, but he also obtained a good amount of pills, a Top-tier Spiritual Plant, and a spiritual treasure!

Thinking of the spiritual treasure, Ji Yang took out the red staff from his storage bag.

No longer activated by a cultivator, the spiritual treasure returned to its normal state, the body of the staff glowing a faint red.

Although he did not know the exact function of this spiritual treasure, it was evidently powerful based on Elder Du’s earlier display, comparable to some Ancient magical tools.

However, Ji Yang shook his head regretfully. While the spiritual treasure was excellent, it did not hold much significance for him.

Moreover, as the original owner of this spiritual treasure was still around, the staff surely contained a primordial spirit mark, and Ji Yang did not dare to use it lightly; he would have to wait until he returned to the sect to deal with it.

Aside from these gains, Ji Yang still had a lot of miscellaneous items on him, such as the storage bag he had taken from Ren Yuning, ten pieces of best Demon Spirit Ore, and Spiritual Plant Seeds purchased at the auction, along with top-quality spiritual grains.

The former was fine, but the latter could be converted into cultivation points, making it more important than the other items.

After pondering over his gains, Ji Yang knocked on his forehead, feeling that he had not counted everything. Was there something he overlooked?

At that moment, a clear voice of a girl rang out behind him:

“Junior brother, what just happened to me?”

Hearing Ren Yuning’s words, Ji Yang suddenly realized. That was it!

“It’s nothing, senior sister. You were just very tired from your evening training and fell asleep for a bit.”

Ji Yang smiled as he explained.

Ren Yuning touched the back of her head, which still throbbed a little:

“Really? I don’t remember anything!”

After saying this, Ren Yuning fell into self-doubt, starting to think about what happened before she fell unconscious, but due to Ji Yang’s sneak attack, she couldn’t recall much.

Seeing her confusion, Ji Yang quickly changed the subject:

“Senior sister, we will arrive soon!”

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuning stopped thinking and showed an excited expression.

At this point, the spiritual boat had already entered the jurisdiction of the He Dao Sect, and not far ahead, a city stood tall.

Ren Yuning looked at the distant city, her brows slightly furrowed. Why did this city seem familiar? Had she been here before?

After a moment, Ren Yuning’s expression shifted, and she grew serious as she slowly asked Ji Yang:

“Junior brother, is this Qingsuo City?”

Ji Yang’s smile faltered slightly. He hadn’t expected Ren Yuning to recognize the city. It seemed he could not keep it a secret any longer. Since that was the case, he might as well act here.

After all, the three elders were not present now, and even if Ren Yuning had some extraordinary items, he was not afraid.

“Yes, this is indeed Qingsuo City. We just need to walk a little further to reach the He Dao Sect!”

“Junior brother, is the interesting place you mentioned the He Dao Sect?”

“Yes, senior sister. What do you think of this place?”

At this moment, Ji Yang no longer kept his plans to himself and directly stated his destination.

While answering, Ji Yang placed his hand behind his back, preparing for another sneak attack.

However, he did not expect that upon hearing “He Dao Sect,” Ren Yuning’s serious expression would vanish, replaced by excitement.

“That sounds thrilling!”

“However, junior brother, isn’t that a bit too risky?”

“Hmm?”

Ji Yang was taken aback, while Ren Yuning continued to speak to herself:

“The He Dao Sect is also a top sect that stands alongside the Heaven Demon Sect, and there are high-level cultivators within the sect who are not inferior to those in the Heaven Demon Sect. If we go over there so boldly, it’s very likely that the people from the He Dao Sect will notice us.”

“With our hiding abilities, reaching near the He Dao Sect would already be our limit, so junior brother, have you thought about how we should infiltrate the He Dao Sect?”

“Um…”

Faced with Ren Yuning’s serious inquiry, Ji Yang’s mind momentarily went blank.

When Ji Yang finally responded, the hand that had been behind his back quietly withdrew, and he confidently smiled:

“Senior sister, don’t worry! I have already figured this out, so you can rest easy!”

“If we’re talking about an interesting place, it must be the He Dao Sect, a righteous sect! I bet you want to contribute to the development of the Heaven Demon Sect, right? If the two of us infiltrate the He Dao Sect, we might be able to gather plenty of information about them!”

Listening to Ji Yang’s persuasive words, Ren Yuning looked even more excited!

Although the Heaven Demon Sect had many pieces scattered throughout the He Dao Sect, she had never considered taking the risk personally.

But now that she thought about it, the thrill was indescribable. Once this idea took root, it poured forth like a flood, unstoppable.

“Alright, since junior brother is confident, I will trust you this time!”

“That’s natural. You don’t have to be wary of me, senior sister!”

Ji Yang’s expression was warm and friendly, like a spring breeze.

“Then, junior brother, do you have a detailed plan? Why don’t you share it so I can help fill in any gaps?”

“A plan? Of course I have one! You’ll know soon! We still have quite a distance to the He Dao Sect, so senior sister should rest for a bit. I need to stay alert for the patrolling cultivators around here.”

“Okay!”

Ren Yuning nodded without hesitation.

Once Ren Yuning returned to her cabin on the spiritual boat, Ji Yang shook his head slightly. She was too easy to deceive, but that just saved him some effort!

At this point, Ji Yang began to accelerate!

The closer they got to the He Dao Sect, the more cultivators they encountered.

Many cultivators cast curious looks at the treasure-class spiritual boat upon seeing it.

This in itself wasn’t surprising, but what stood out was that the boat boldly displayed the Heaven Demon Sect’s emblem!

But this was the He Dao Sect! How arrogant could that be?

Numerous passing cultivators quickly reported this to their sect.

Some cultivators even extended their primordial spirit energy, moving closer to the boat, preparing to intercept the two.

However, before that cultivator could get any closer, Ji Yang slowly stepped out from the spiritual boat, revealing an identity token in his hand!

Seeing the identity token, the disciple was momentarily stunned. Which peak was this token from? He had never seen it before.

But then, the cultivator seemed to realize something and respectfully called out, "Senior Brother Ji," before walking away discreetly.

However, even after leaving, the cultivator still had some doubts in his eyes. He remembered that Senior Brother Ji did not look like that.

But the information on the identity token could not be fake.

Before that cultivator could speak, Ji Yang had already used the primordial spirit Secret Technique to block his words. He had held it in this long; at least he could reveal himself after they entered the sect!

As the spiritual boat moved forward, Ji Yang soon arrived at the gate of the He Dao Sect!

When Ji Yang looked at the familiar scene before him, he couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

After several months, he was finally back at the sect!
