Ji Yuan emerges from seclusion and begins offering guidance to disciples, earning a reputation for kindness. The sect's elder, You Zai Daoist, visits Ji Yuan, revealing the sect's shortage of late Core Formation cultivators due to external pressures. You Zai Daoist requests Ji Yuan to lead an expedition to the important secret realm of Blood Sword Island.

Chapter 1239: Chapter 424: Ji Yuan Suppresses the Nascent Soul! [Monthly Pass Requested]_5

“Precisely, our Three Star Luo Sects usually open Blood Sword Island every sixty years to allow those disciples at the peak of Qi Cultivation to enter and search for treasures and cultivate.”

You Zai Daoist sighed as he spoke, a look of worry inevitably crossing his face.

“But now the situation on the Desolate Ancient Continent is becoming increasingly chaotic. Our Three Star Luo Sects fear that something might happen when the time comes, causing a gap in disciples that the sects won’t be able to fill, so we’ve already opened it twice in the past sixty years.”

…It truly is this way, very similar to the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.

Ji Yuan felt somewhat dazed listening to these words.

Back when he was in the Water Dragon Sect, he was still a disciple thinking of going to the Nine Nether Forbidden Land for a trial.

But now?

In the blink of an eye, he has become a Core Formation elder leading the team to Blood Sword Island.

…This feeling is indeed quite mysterious.

Seeing Ji Yuan stay silent, You Zai Daoist assumed he was hesitating, so he continued to explain: “Currently, our Xingluo Archipelago is also quite chaotic. Moreover, Blood Sword Island itself is within the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Without a strong elder leading the team… things might go wrong.”

In one sentence, he placed the sect’s great duty as a priority and elevated Ji Yuan to a high position.

It could be said that in the art of conversation, You Zai Daoist had mastered it with great precision.

“If the other late-stage Core Formation brothers within the sect weren’t all busy, and I myself didn’t have some matters to attend to, this wouldn’t necessitate asking Brother Xu for help.”

“Alright.”

Seeing You Zai Daoist say so much, Ji Yuan naturally couldn’t refuse any further.

Besides, after being in seclusion for twenty years, it was time to go out and see the situation of the Xingluo Archipelago.

“Brother You Zai, you need not persuade any further. Just let me know when to set off.”

“Very well, very well.”

Seeing Ji Yuan agree, You Zai Daoist naturally relieved himself of a significant concern.

He laughed heartily a few times.

“There’s no rush for this matter, there’s still more than a month left. As long as Brother Xu agrees, that’s all that matters.”

“That’s good then. Whenever something is arranged, Brother You Zai, please inform me in a timely manner.”

After some more pleasantries, You Zai Daoist then took his leave.

Now, the entire burden of the Cloud Rain Sect was on his shoulders, and there were indeed many matters he needed to handle.

After seeing him off, Ji Yuan returned to his Cave Mansion and began to ponder quietly.

“My cultivation has already reached the peak of Core Formation. Just one more step forward and I can break the pill to form a Nascent Soul…”

“Simply breaking the pill to form a Nascent Soul is alright, but since I have already embarked on the path of enhancing the quality of my Golden Core, what I naturally want is a little more. For instance, after upgrading the Golden Core to Purple Pill quality, then attempting to break the pill and form a Nascent Soul, in this way, the Nascent Soul that I form will likely be even stronger, right?”

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan immediately inspected his Dantian internally.

However, when his Divine Sense entered the Dantian, what he subconsciously looked at was not the Blood Pill which was faintly beginning to glow purple, nor his Lifebound Magical Treasure Fangcun Mountain and Canglan Sword, but the Purple Gold Gourd suspended above the Blood Pill.

Ever since acquiring this Purple Gold Gourd, more than twenty years have passed.

In these twenty-plus years, the Purple Gold Gourd hasn’t even moved an inch, let alone change position.

It’s as if it were dead.

“This is also a hidden danger. It would be better if I could remove this thing before forming a Nascent Soul. If, by chance, this thing suddenly causes trouble during Nascent Soul Formation, that would be a big problem.”

Although he has many thoughts, Ji Yuan truly has no solution at present.

As for that Blood Pill, after twenty years of nurturing, a faint purple pattern finally appeared on it, making the entire Blood Pill glow with a faint purple light.

“Those techniques left by Nightmare True Monarch, with the help of the Enlightenment Room, I have almost fully comprehended them, but it is this ‘Five Elements Purifying Spirit Skill’ that has not yet fully matured. There is still some time, and it should be enough for me to transform the Blood Pill into a Purple Pill.”

While contemplating, Ji Yuan took another Four-colored Spirit Egg from his Storage Bag and ingested it, continuing to refine his Blood Pill.

About a month later, Ji Yuan received a message from You Zai Daoist once again.
