659: Chapter 642: Make a Fortune and Run Away Immediately, Escape Far Away 659: Chapter 642: Make a Fortune and Run Away Immediately, Escape Far Away Jiang Ding looked toward the Merit Board.
Wei Qingqing was first, Yu Zhong second, and behind each record of merit was a Divine Sense Brand.
Anyone who touched it with their Divine Sense could see scenes of the cultivators fighting, killing, and persuading other Golden Pill Monks, scenes submitted by the cultivators themselves and verified for no duplications or conflicts.
Especially the latter, persuasion accounted for the majority of the merits.
To tell the truth, both Yu Zhong and Wei Qingqing, one at the Middle Jindan Stage, the other at the early Golden Pill stage, were far from surpassing everyone in strength.
Yet, they had persuaded the most people, thereby gaining the most merit.
As for fighting and killing, that occupied only a small part of their achievements.
Mainly because once the Formation Method was breached, there was hardly any enemy worth mentioning left.
The Golden Pill Divine Sense operated at lightning speed.
In just a dozen breaths, each Golden Pill Cultivator had already chosen their desired third-tier Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, third-tier Treasure, and a few with more merits opted for fourth-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Many limited-quantity third-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were exchanged in the blink of an eye, first-come-first-served.
âImmortalâŠâ
Once everything was over, all the Golden Pill Cultivators eagerly watched Jiang Ding.
âFellow Daoists, catch.â
With a thought, Jiang Ding made storage bags float up and automatically open.
Out flew various Elixirs, ores, Treasures, bottles of mana-enhancing Elixirs, and even fourth-tier Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
They traced eye-catching arcs as they soared in the sky.
All sorts of treasures and Heavenly Materials covered the sky, their gleaming brilliance illuminating dozens of miles around.
These Heavenly Materials and Treasures traced dynamic lines through the air, showing no sign of chaos, flying precisely under controlled manipulation toward each cultivator, landing in their hands.
A few breaths later, the sky cleared.
All the Golden Pill Cultivators had rosy complexions and bright eyes.
They repeatedly touched their storage bags, occasionally letting out foolish grins, showing none of the dignity expected of a Patriarch Jin Dan.
âThe last matter.â
Jiang Ding slowly spoke up, interrupting everyoneâs daze, âThe awarding of the Nascent Soul Cultivation Method is set for Daoist Wei Qingqing and Yu Zhong.
Does anyone have any objections?â
He gestured with his hand, and seven cultivation methods, stripped of various bloody secret techniques, lined up in a row, floating in front of everyone.
âThese cultivation methods are the âThousand Crow Feather Transformation Canon,â âGreat Black Heaven Night Canon,â âGolden Flame Fire Feather Canon,â âHundred Ghosts Myriad Transformations Slaughter Truth Canonâ and⊠all seven of them.â
âOf these, five require the bloodline of the Hei Clan to cultivate successfully, otherwise, itâs extremely difficult.â
âThe remaining two, âGolden Flame Fire Feather Canonâ is fire-elemental, moderate and balanced, âHundred Ghosts Myriad Transformations Slaughter Truth Canonâ has had its killing and ghost-refining techniques removed by me; they can only hunt Demon Beasts for cultivation.
The two honored Daoists might want to consider them.â
Jiang Ding didnât arrange for âthe fated to choose.â He was direct, giving a clear choice to each.
âOf course, the two can also check the first parts by themselves and then make their own choice.
I will not interfere.â
In an instant,
Envy, jealousy, and even the occasional murderous intent landed on Wei Qingqing and Yu Zhong.
Especially Wei Qingqing, at the early Golden Pill realm, who was not previously known for being powerful, was like a bright light in the darkness at that moment, incredibly dazzling, firmly attracting the look of every Golden Pill Cultivator.
There were no objections, as the merits had already been confirmed multiple times, including their own.
âNascent Soul legacyâŠâ
Both Wei Qingqing and Yu Zhong were thirsty and agitated, excited to the point of shaking.
âImmortal, I choose the âHundred Ghosts Myriad Transformations Slaughter Truth Canonâ!â
Under the greedy and dangerous gaze of many Golden Pill Cultivators, Wei Qingqing did not hesitate for a moment and immediately spoke.
She had complete faith in the wisdom of the Immortal of Nascent Soul before her and did not look at the others.
Yu Zhong did slightly differently, reviewing all seven Nascent Soul legacies before selecting the âGolden Flame Fire Feather Canonâ.
The process of a Golden Pill Cultivatorâs Divine Soul copying a Nascent Soul technique was bound to take an exceptionally long time.
Jiang Ding had no patience for waiting, so he took out two Jade Slips, concealed his own aura, copied the two methods completely, and tossed them to the pair.
âAlright, fellow Daoists, our destinies for today have been fulfilled.â
Jiang Ding looked around with a detached gaze.
âThere are some words that I could sayâeveryone may listen or not listen, itâs all the same.
These are just my heartfelt thoughts; merely a casual chat.â
âPlease enlighten us, Immortal!â
The numerous Golden Pill Monks wore serious expressions and respectfully spoke.
They knew that this might be the kindest Immortal of Nascent Soul they would ever encounter in their lives.
Others wouldnât possibly treat lower-tier Cultivators this way when they had an absolute advantage in power.
âFirst, the Righteous and Demonic Alliance is powerful, and I need to prepare to flee.
Everyone here, as well as your families, had better start planning early.â
Jiang Ding said bluntly, not feeling the slightest embarrassment about fleeing.
The multitude of Golden Pills took a deep breath.
That was a clear statementâthis Immortal of Nascent Soul would not stay long in Beast Spirit Immortal City.
A fourth-grade Spiritual Vein was about to be left emptyâŠ
Many minds began to stir.
âSecond, within a thousand miles, there must be no fighting for half an instant.â
Jiang Ding looked at everyone.
This place was not a shady inn, nor was it the Lingbao Commerce Association, which wouldnât care about anything once they sold their goods, indifferent even if a customer was murdered and robbed right at the doorway.
Such incidents werenât allowable.
Whoever it belonged to, it must remain theirs.
Of course, he wouldnât oversee everything to the very end, managing others for a lifetime.
Cultivators from other worlds were too chaotic; fighting, killing, and robbing were their nature and simply beyond control.
However, at the very least, they must abide by the order established during this time in his presence.
ââŠYes!â
âWe will follow Immortalâs command to the letter.â
Many Golden Pill Monks glanced at Wei Qingqing and Yu Zhong with reluctance but still respectfully bowed.
âThen let it be.â
âIf fate allows, we shall meet again.â
Jiang Ding casually tossed a Teleportation Talisman from Hei Clanâs Treasury to Wei Qingqing and Yu Zhong.
His Sword-light exploded, tearing through space and vanishing in an instant.
He flew away as fast as possible without any hesitation, as if chased by a dog nipping at his heels.
âLetâs go!â
Wei Qingqing and Yu Zhong exchanged a glance and activated the Teleportation Talisman without hesitation, disappearing from the spot.
For a moment, who knows how many Golden Pill Monks sighed in frustration.
They looked at each other, quickly scattering in all directions, using every ounce of their strength to fly towards their own families as fast as they could.
Messaging talismans were used to inform key family Cultivators to immediately evacuate, scattering to various parts of the Northern Plains; the same went for ordinary disciples and clansmenâno longer concerned with anything else, not bothering with their belongings, they simply grabbed some provisions and left at once.
Hastily and frantically.
Some Golden Pill Monks, after informing their clans, didnât wait for a response and didnât even bother to returnâa single person flew towards a direction far from Beast Spirit Immortal City.
Being Golden Pills affiliated with the Hei Clan, they were all too aware of how the Northern Plains families treated traitors.
Unable to live, unable to die.
This was merely the shallowest and lightest of consequences.
On the other hand, Jiang Ding took even more extreme measures; after several days of flying, he plunged into the Soulless Desert, directly leaving the Northern Plains, planning to hide in Three Kingdoms for a whileâat least for the next decade or so, he wouldnât return to the Northern Plains.
Even in Three Kingdoms, he would not appear for long.
After a short stay, he intended to return and hide within Xianmen Sect.
He didnât believe that, under the immense pressure of the Great Sun Sect and the Great Sun Sword Sect marshaling troops at the border, and with the internal turmoil between the reformist and conservative factions, the Righteous and Demonic Alliance would send at least a dozen Nascent Soul Monks to keep watching him, lurking for ten or even dozens of years, just to kill a landless, wandering Immortal of Nascent Soul.
