Chapter 286: Chapter 277: The Mysterious Jade of Wuding

"Through them, Purple Cloud Sect has already gained some fame among the Abnormal People, and more of them will join Purple Cloud Sect in the future. Elder Zi, please take good care of them," Liang Yi said with a smile after sipping his hot tea.

"This is great, no matter how many join, Purple Cloud Sect will welcome them all," Elder Zi chuckled, feeling that this was truly a divine opportunity.

"Yes, this opportunity indeed is rare, but my suggestion is that for those Abnormal People who join within a month, we should set higher standards for accepting disciples, focusing on quality. After a month, we can relax the standards a bit and focus on quantity."

Liang Yi did not explain the reason, but Elder Zi still fell into thought, knowing there must be a reason since Liang Yi said so. Moreover, Liang Yi is now the Sect Master, and he is just a Supreme Elder, although Liang Yi has delegated authority thoroughly, he still needs to be self-aware.

"Since the Sect Master has made a decision, then I shall naturally comply," Elder Zi didn’t think much and decided to follow Liang Yi’s suggestion.

"It will be hard on Elder Zi for the next part, but while recruiting Abnormal People disciples, don’t forget to also recruit talented local disciples from nearby cities, and later when we have enough manpower, spread the influence of Purple Cloud Sect."

"In the past, our Taoist Sect didn’t have enough people, and though nominally those cities belonged to Taoist Sect, we never really managed them, letting them develop on their own. Now, Purple Cloud Sect needs a base, resources, and channels, so we can consider taking them back."

"There are also Wind God Commerce and Little Bamboo House as forces; though not very strong, they both hold a unique position and influence in their own domains. Since I have a good relationship with them, you could also contact them more."

Liang Yi felt that since he became the Sect Master of Purple Cloud Sect, he shouldn’t just enjoy the position without contributing. Even if Elder Zi didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t respect himself.

He had always seriously considered issues regarding sect development, whether it was disciples or resource channels, he had ideas, but presently, the sect was desperately short of manpower, hence couldn’t put plans into practice.

"The Sect Master has thought quite comprehensively," Elder Zi stroked his beard, laughing heartily.

Even if Liang Yi did nothing daring, he wouldn’t say anything, but seeing Liang Yi sincerely considering the best for Purple Cloud Sect, Elder Zi felt very gratified.

"As of now, I’ve considered this much. As for the sect’s minor miscellaneous matters, I’ll leave them to Elder Zi, hoping to see a thriving Purple Cloud Sect when I return next time." Liang Yi drained the Spiritual Tea in his cup, smiling like a refreshing breeze, revealing a row of bright white teeth.

Su Youyi’s eyes twinkled as she looked at her senior brother, who was truly serious about everything, always putting in his best effort and achieving the best results.

When she was still a commoner, she admired her senior brother the most; she felt he was capable of anything, quickly learning what he didn’t know, and achieving high standards in a short time, drawing the attention of everyone.

The two of them actually had some savings in the initial years after joining the sect, which they used to buy books, intending to join a academy and pursue a career.

However, before they had saved enough to enter the academy, Su Youyi fell seriously ill, suffering from an incessant high fever. Liang Yi spent all his savings on her treatment, but to little effect, and then they met Chen Hua and joined the Taoist Sect.

Later, they discovered that Su Youyi’s persistent high fever was due to her extremely special constitution, which inadvertently drew Spiritual Power from the Void into her body without any learned Cultivation Technique. But without learning any technique, she couldn’t control the Spiritual Power properly, causing a massive accumulation of power that her young body couldn’t bear, leading to her ongoing high fever.

Now that her senior brother had become the Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect, even though it was accidental, he was still working hard for the revival of the sect.

"Haha, this is all my duty, please rest assured, Sect Master!"

Elder Zi’s laughter was hearty, as he was very familiar with these matters. Even though the path of cultivation had been reconnected in this epoch, it was hard for him at his stage to reach new heights, thus he now focused on sect development.

"By the way, Elder Zi, may I now go retrieve the items I need?" Liang Yi suddenly remembered the matter of crafting an Immortal Sword for his junior sister, he had indeed found many rare materials before, but some were extremely hard to find.

Some of these had completely disappeared in this epoch of Liang Yi and might be left in some Secret Realms, but Liang Yi didn’t know where. However, he had casually asked Elder Zi before and unexpectedly found that some of the scarce Immortal materials he needed were still in stock at Purple Cloud Sect.

This news made Liang Yi quite ecstatic, as those were more difficult to find than expected, and now he could obtain them without much effort.

"Items like the Boundless Mystical Iron and the Indefinite Secret Jade have no real use for cultivators, unless it’s with some unique Body Cultivation Techniques that involve forging the body with immortal materials."

"These are the heritage accumulated over the years by the Purple Cloud Sect, intended to be used to craft immortal weapons for those who make outstanding contributions to the sect. For the current Purple Cloud Sect, the options are either to keep them stored away gathering dust or to exchange them for cultivation resources."

"Since Liang Yi expressed the need for them, Zi Xuanbu naturally had no objections. It was better to give it directly to the new Sect Leader than to keep it unused. However, due to being consistently busy and Liang Yi having matters to attend to, they had not been retrieved until now."

"The Sect Leader said he needed them, and I have prepared them in advance," Zi Xuanbu thoughtfully stated, aware of Liang Yi’s intention to leave and had thus prepared what Liang Yi needed.

"Clap! Clap!"

Zi Xuanbu gently clapped his hands, and suddenly, two golden bubbles appeared in the void, each swirling with golden divine light, mesmerizing and dreamlike.

The golden divine light flowed in a ripple-like manner from the bubbles, involuntarily drawing the gaze of Liang Yi and the others.

"Is it something delicious, meow?" Elder Orange stood up from the table, gently tapping the golden bubble in front of him with his fluffy paws.

"Of course not, can’t you smell it?" Liang Yi was somewhat speechless, Elder Orange really linked everything to food.

"If I could smell it, would I still need to ask you, meow?" Elder Orange glanced at Liang Yi with a look that scorned his intelligence, pointing at the outermost bubble. "This bubble has protective and isolating effects, I can’t see or smell anything, meow."

"These are the Infinite Heavenly Gang Bubbles, made from Infinite Heavenly Gang Divine Meteoric Iron, possessing unmatched protective and isolating abilities. Even a Great Perfection powerhouse of the Eighth Realm would find them impossible to break or peer into," Zi Xuanbu proudly explained. "After Purple Cloud Sect accidentally obtained that piece of Divine Meteoric Iron, they spent great effort to refine it into these bubble forms, and also attached various arrays to them, which cannot be opened without the Sect Leader’s inheritance."

"Heh, it’s just that Elder Me is only newly acquainted with the Dao of Eating, meow. Once I master this and combine it with the Path of Transformation, I will devour and digest everything for you, meow!"

Elder Orange, not to be outdone, slapped the seemingly fragile bubble with strong vengeance. However, even with the force that could scratch a piece of steel, the bubble remained unshaken.

"It really is incredibly strong!" Su Youyi also curiously tried, her strongest Sword Intent striking it without causing any effect, not even leaving a mark.

"What’s inside then, to be protected by such treasures?"

The Infinite Heavenly Gang Bubbles themselves were treasures that people would fight over, yet now they were merely protective layers for something inside.

"Of course, it’s something good." Liang Yi smiled mysteriously, not explaining further to his junior sister, but directly summoning the two bubbles to him.

What Zi Xuanbu referred to as the Sect Leader’s inheritance must be the Big Cave Fetal Breath Lamp, which, since recognizing its master, had stayed hidden in his Sea of Consciousness without emerging much, displaying a rather lazy demeanor.

And only after speaking with Elder Zi did he realize that this item was actually an Immortal Artifact that protected his life.

Under the watchful eyes of Su Youyi and others, Liang Yi borrowed a trace of aura from the Big Cave Fetal Breath Lamp in his Sea of Consciousness, attaching it to the Infinite Heavenly Gang Bubbles. The originally extremely hard bubbles turned truly fragile, shattering at a light touch and revealing their enclosed contents.

After one bubble shattered, what appeared was a thin, translucent piece of jade, clearly beautiful jade yet so transparent that one could directly see the curious Elder Orange peering from behind it. Moreover, the shape of this beautiful jade was not fixed, flowing slowly like a water drop, dotted with shimmering silver lights, extremely dazzling.

What surprised Liang Yi and the others even more was that this piece of jade did not always remain in their sight. Every breath, the Indefinite Secret Jade would disappear from their sight for a breath, and reappear on the next. During its disappearance, Liang Yi could not detect anything in that space whether he used his naked eyes or Divine Sense, finding the phenomenon quite extraordinary.

Su Youyi tried to touch the Indefinite Secret Jade at the same moment it disappeared, to see if the mineral was simply invisible, or had actually vanished. If it really disappeared into the void, then who would dare to use weapons made from Indefinite Secret Jade, fighting only to have the weapon disappear.

"It’s icy, cool, not just hard but also resilient, as if it contains the Law of Water," Su Youyi expressed her surprise, having never seen such a miraculous jade before.

"This is the Indefinite Secret Jade, shapeless and placeless," Zi Xuanbu cheerily explained to everyone.
