Jiang Wen reached out and caught the feather, carefully holding it in his hand. He was very cautious in preserving this gift from the Wan Shi Sect Master.
“This is a feather from my Heavenly Wings, capable of protecting you from water and fire, and keeping you safe from wind and thunder. I see that you seem to have an anomaly, and this feather can also help you resist such anomalies. If there is a moment of crisis, then sacrifice this feather, and I will come to help you.” After Fengluan finished speaking, Jiang Wen realized how precious this gift was.
To be able to receive the help of a great demon in the Saint Realm of Sendai, this favor was too great. He did not expect the Wan Shi Sect Master to be so generous, giving such a valuable gift to him.
After all, if Jiang Wen caused a big trouble and then summoned Fengluan to help, then Fengluan would definitely be tainted with karma. When others sought revenge, the trouble would befall the Wan Shi Sect. This was also why he felt that such a favor was too heavy.
“Thank you for your gift, Senior.” Jiang Wen bowed to Fengluan, and then saw the other party wave their wings.
“Go down, I am also tired. Do not disturb me unless there is something important.”
After Fengluan finished speaking, the scenery in the mirror disappeared. Hao Ming Zhenren stood beside Jiang Wen, looking at him with some jealousy: “I didn’t expect that little friend, just meeting the Sect Master for the first time, would receive such a precious gift. It really makes my heart sour.”
“Master~~” Hongluan covered her face and called out. She really couldn’t do anything about her master. After being serious for only a day, her true nature was completely exposed. If people knew that her, the chivalrous woman Hongluan, was the disciple of such a person, would she still be able to survive in the cultivation world in the future?
Jiang Wen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked Hao Ming Zhenren with curiosity: “Is this feather very precious?”
“Little friend, you’re joking, this isn’t a question of preciousness.” Hao Ming Zhenren sighed. “Although I am young, I have only been with my master for eight thousand years. But I have never received the Heavenly Feather bestowed by my master, even my senior brothers have never had such treatment. Little friend can be said to be the first person to make master make an exception.”
Only eight thousand years? Young? Jiang Wen felt that these words were completely incompatible with Hao Ming Zhenren. Which child is eight thousand years old? It’s really outrageous. Hearing Hao Ming Zhenren say that his senior brothers had never received this kind of feather, he understood why Hao Ming Zhenren said the feather was so precious.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wen asked curiously: “Why is this? You have followed Sect Master Fengluan for many years, how could you not have this thing?”
“This…” Hao Ming Zhenren hesitated for a moment, unable to hold back the loneliness in his heart, he still said it. “The main reason is that my master established the Wan Shi Sect in her early years was just an accident.”
“It is said that because she picked up my eldest senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother, master began to take care of them. Later, the news of master spread, and there were more and more cultivators who came to the mountain to capture master. It’s just that they were all not master’s opponents and were thrown down the mountain by master. Also, because they had seen my three senior brothers, it slowly spread that the place where master was was actually a hidden immortal sect, where saints lived, and as for the demon beasts, they were gatekeepers for the saints.”
“Later, the saint from the Zixiao Palace of Tianshan went to fight with my master. He lost by one move, and this rumor spread widely. In order to avoid trouble, master simply took one word from each of the names of the three senior brothers and built the immortal sect Wan Shi Sect. In the beginning, the mountain gate was short of resources, and master used one portion as two portions. Later, she developed the habit of being frugal in everything.”
“Cough cough cough.” Speaking of this, Hao Ming Zhenren coughed a few times lightly. Finally, he looked around and secretly leaned close to Jiang Wen’s ear and said. “Actually, in the end, it’s because my master is stingy.”
As soon as Hao Ming Zhenren finished speaking, a flash of fire rose from the ground, burning Hao Ming Zhenren until he screamed and ran around everywhere.
When he extinguished the flames on his body, a faint voice came: “Hao Ming, don’t think that master can’t hear you just because you are far away.”
“Master, I was wrong.” Hao Ming pleaded.
Looking at this nonsensical scene, Jiang Wen completely understood why the Wan Shi Sect was being ostracized by the hundred families of the immortal sect. There was no other reason, just because they were afraid of losing the face of the immortal sect.
After settling the many matters on the flesh soil, the Wan Shi Sect began to mine the resources on this flesh soil. Jiang Wen bid farewell to everyone, preparing to go deeper into Buzhou Mountain to take a look.
Hongluan prepared to return to her sect to hand in her task, and by the way, to repair her magic weapon. After all, those two scimitars had been with her for so long that they were almost damaged. She was very sorry that she could no longer go with Jiang Wen to see the Light Tree, and could only wish him a smooth journey.
Agu didn't have anywhere to go, and prepared to continue following Jiang Wen. He wanted to go to Tianqian City to take a look, because Jiang Wen said that he might be able to find his lost memories there.
After saying goodbye to the three Zhenren of the Wan Shi Sect, Jiang Wen returned to the locust tree. He told Zile about his plan to leave, and Zile was immediately anxious.
In the end, Zile was helpless and could only accept this reality.
“Brother must come back to find Zile.” Zile said pitifully. “Don’t break your promise.”
“I will, don’t worry.” Jiang Wen smiled and rubbed Zile’s head, and after tidying up his things, he came to the entrance of the cave in the center of the flesh pit.
This pit appeared during the fight with the demon. Jiang Wen sensed it and found that this pit was a passage extending to the bottom of Buzhou Mountain, and he roughly understood how to leave the flesh soil.
He and Agu stood in front of the pit, and each added some spells.
Then they jumped into the pit, and fell rapidly downwards with the whistling wind.
Jiang Wen hadn’t experienced this feeling of weightlessness for a long time. Since he learned to fly with his sword, height no longer made him feel panicked. Whether it was the sky or the clouds, those were places where he could come and go freely.
But now, in this bottomless cave, he unexpectedly felt the feeling of weightlessness.
“It seems that the bottom is a place with strong gravity.” Jiang Wen speculated about the situation below, and added a Light Body Technique to Agu. When they were about to land later, they could use the Light Body Technique to dissolve the speed of their fall.
The wind whistled past, and time passed with the fall. Jiang Wen only felt that his falling speed was getting faster and faster, and the hole above his head had long disappeared.
He kept falling like this, and didn’t know how long it had been.
When his divine sense sensed a thick earth, Jiang Wen knew that he should have arrived.
