Feng Xi didn't tell Xiao Baidao about the matter of the talismans, she planned to "print" more first and then give him a surprise.
That morning, the sky was somewhat overcast.
Feng Xi didn't pay much attention, since rainy weather was common.
She went to spar with Jing Yan as usual.
While the two were fighting, strong winds suddenly rose and dark clouds gathered.
Feng Xi's heart skipped a beat. Was it the Heavenly Dao, that old thief, who had come to strike her again?!
She instinctively looked inward at her dantian and saw that the five spiritual roots had already formed a starlight array.
This further confirmed her suspicion.
She couldn't be bothered to continue sparring with Jing Yan anymore and hurried back to her own courtyard.
She inserted one end of her self-made lightning rod into the ground and tied the other end around her waist.
Then she waited to be struck by lightning.
After waiting for a long time, only heavy rain came.
Feng Xi: …
She scolded the five spiritual roots in her dantian harshly!
Wasn't this just falsely reporting military intelligence?!
The five spiritual roots immediately began fighting among themselves.
Clearly blaming one another.
Feng Xi: …
The next morning, Jun Wen excitedly came to find Feng Xi.
"Little Junior Sister, after yesterday's thunder, a lot of Songling Mushrooms appeared in the back mountain. Let's go pick mushrooms!"
Feng Xi's eyes lit up!
She still had Red-Feather Chickens that Xing Wu had given her in her storage ring, perfect for stewing with Songling Mushrooms!
So the two clicked instantly.
When they arrived at the back mountain, they found many disciples already picking mushrooms.
The reason was very simple, this thing could be sold for money!
For a poor sect, this was a gift from heaven!
When they saw Feng Xi and Jun Wen arrive, many people came to greet Feng Xi, selectively ignoring Jun Wen.
Jun Wen: …
Come on, I'm a whole living, breathing person, didn't you see me?!
After greeting everyone, Feng Xi and Jun Wen began looking for mushrooms.
Actually, eating them was secondary, the important part was enjoying the process of picking mushrooms.
That evening, Xiao Baidao and his disciples enjoyed a famous dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms.
After they had eaten most of it, Xiao Baidao said, "The sword tomb of Wan Jian Sect has shown some unusual movements. Sect Master Lu isn't certain on what to do, so he asked the three sect masters of our sects to go take a look.
If you have nothing else to do, come with me!"
Originally, Xiao Baidao planned to go alone, but Elder Mu told him that these personal disciples had been cultivating too desperately lately and should go out to relax.
So he decided to take the four of them along.
Besides, with more people going, they could eat more on the way back.
Feng Xi and Jun Wen readily agreed upon hearing that they were going out.
Although Jiang Ji and Jing Yan weren't particularly eager, since master had spoken, they could only agree.
A few days later, the five of them flew on swords toward Wan Jian Sect.
Although this was the third time Jing Yan had seen Feng Xi fly on her sword, he still felt like he couldn't bear to look at her unique posture.
Little Junior Sister was intelligent and clever, how could she lack talent in sword flying?
Feng Xi, however, was quite content. Every trip felt like riding a roller coaster, how thrilling!
After several days, the five of them arrived at Wan Jian Sect.
Sect Master Lu Zhenkuan personally greeted them at the mountain gate.
"Sect Master Xiao, the journey's been hard on you! Please, come in!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Baidao entered the mountain gate accompanied by Lu Zhenkuan.
Wan Jian Sect's chief disciple Ling Qianting also came to greet Jiang Ji and the others and led them inside.
Feng Xi, adhering to the principle of caution, followed with small steps into the gate.
Safe and peaceful.
As expected, among the Four Great Sects, only the ancestor of Xuantian Sect was inhuman!
When they arrived at the main hall, they found that Baili Muchen and Hu Wankui had already arrived.
Baili Muchen didn't bring any disciples this time, while Hu Wankui brought Xing Wu.
He had no choice, ever since learning that Feng Xi would come, Xing Wu had been pestering him nonstop, almost becoming a heart demon.
Baili Muchen smiled and said, "Sect Master Xiao, you used to travel alone. Why have you recently been willing to bring your disciples out?
Then again, the food at Xuantian Sect is indeed too poor. The children are still growing, it's good for them to come out and supplement."
Jing Yan's expression instantly darkened.
Baili Muchen was clearly mocking them for coming to freeload!
Thinking this, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Ji and the others.
But the three appeared calm, as if they had heard nothing.
Jing Yan: …
What? Have you completely lost your sense of sect honor?!
At this moment, Xiao Baidao laughed, "Sect Master Baili knows me well, that's exactly my plan!
After we finish matters at Wan Jian Sect, I plan to stay at Hunyuan Sect for a few days. There were a few dishes last time that I still think about!"
Baili Muchen: …
He had discovered that Xiao Baidao, this old thing, had become completely shameless!
Lu Zhenkuan, Sect Master of Wan Jian Sect, laughed, "Sect Master Baili is joking. My disciples have been talking about Feng Xi, so I asked Sect Master Xiao to bring his disciples to visit."
Baili Muchen felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
Of course he knew that Lu Zhenkuan was helping Xiao Baidao save face, but it also showed that Wan Jian Sect's personal disciples had a good relationship with Feng Xi.
As for Beast-Taming Sect, there's no need to mention it. That Xing Wu was ready to transfer to Xuantian Sect.
Looking at his own disciples in Hunyuan Sect, not one of them was well-liked.
Where had things gone wrong?
After a few more pleasantries, they moved to the main topic.
Lu Zhenkuan frowned, "According to sect records, the last disturbance in the sword tomb occurred three thousand years ago and lasted only three days before returning to normal.
But this time…"
He paused, "This time it has continued for several months, so I asked the three of you to help examine it."
Actually, Xiao Baidao and the others understood clearly that Wan Jian Sect had initially planned to suppress the news. No sect would want outsiders meddling in their own affairs.
But now the situation was probably too serious, so they had no choice but to ask for assistance.
Hu Wankui of Beast-Taming Sect said, "Sect Master Lu, why don't we first go take a look at the sword tomb and then sit down to discuss?"
Baili Muchen and Xiao Baidao agreed.
Thus, everyone set off toward the sword tomb.
Although Feng Xi kept chatting with Xing Wu, she was a bit distracted.
Because as they drew closer to the sword tomb, the wooden sword inside her storage ring began behaving strangely…
