Chapter Twenty-Four: Finding the Answers

lling to be captured. So in their fight with them, they chose to self-destruct and die.All in all, Ginger Cloud believed that with over seven thousand people returning to the Heavenly Domain Gathering...After silently reciting these words in his mouth, Ginger Cloud's face revealed a wry smile. He muttered to himself, "No wonder I couldn't cultivate the cultivation methods of Ginger Village. The real reason is that me and them are fundamentally different clans!"

The trip to the library was very rewarding for Ginger Cloud.

Because a question that had plagued him for a long time found its answer in that weighty tome, only this answer left him momentarily disbelieving.

Having lived in Jiangcun for sixteen years, Jiang Yun was naturally no stranger to the villagers' way of cultivation—swallowing and exhaling sunlight and moonlight.

This cultivation method, he had even tried it several times himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he simply couldn't do it. His grandfather told him that this was because his physique and those of the people in Ginger Village were different.

Now, Ginger Cloud finally understands that in this world, all beings can practice the Tao, but only one race relies on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate — the demon clan!

That is to say, the villagers of Ginger Village who raised him and lived with him for sixteen years, treating him like family, are actually demons.

As a human, of course I can't cultivate the cultivation methods of demon races!

Therefore, even within the Wen Daozong, which belongs to the human race's Daoist sect, one can cultivate even the most basic and common cultivation techniques without any hindrance.

After lying in bed for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute look flashing in them. He whispered, "So what if they are demons Even though my grandfather and the others are demons, in my heart, they will always be my family. I, Jiang Yun, will always be a part of Jiang Village!"

Previously, he was unable to accept this fact because it was too shocking. But now that he understood, the feeling of depression vanished in an instant. He looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. Naturally, his mood also lightened considerably.

Rolling over and sitting up, Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "Since that's the case, I have to work even harder to cultivate. In the future, I will protect them!"

As for the demon clan, Jiang Yun didn't know much about them. He only knew that the relationship between humans and demons was not harmonious, it could even be said to be mutually hostile.

In Jiang Yun's opinion, he would definitely have to lead the people of Ginger Village away from the Ten Thousand Mang Mountains in the future. But if they were discovered to be demon clan, there would certainly be no shortage of trouble. So he must hurry up and become stronger.

At this moment, Dongfang Bo's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother Jiang, are you alright"

It was only then that Jiang Yun recalled the events that had transpired when he returned just now. Although he wasn't afraid of Xu Chongshen, there was no denying that Dongfang Bo's appearance had helped him defuse the crisis. Plus, Dongfang Bo genuinely cared about him, so he quickly stood up and said, "Senior brother, I'm fine!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun had already opened the door.

Dongfang Bo did not walk in, but stood at the door, sizing up Jiang Yun from head to toe. It seemed like he was confirming that Jiang Yun had already come out of the dream-like state he was in just moments ago. Only then did he lightly nod and smile, "It's good that you're alright. That person just now was an outer disciple of Baishou Peak. You injured his spirit beast, so he will definitely not be happy about it. Be more careful in the future."

Dong Fang Bo didn't ask Jiang Yun why he had a feud with the outer disciples of Bai Shou Feng, nor did he blame him for causing trouble. This naturally made Jiang Yun even more grateful and he readily agreed.

"Dongfang Bo glanced at Jiang Yun with a hint of displeasure and said, 'Also, since you've just come to the sect, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! Have you noticed anything new these past two days' "

Jiang Yun knew that Dongfang Bo should know about his trip to the library. He quietly stuck out his tongue and said, "There's no problem for now, thank you Master Brother for keeping an eye on me!"

"Alright!" Tong Bo nodded with a slight disappointment, "Then you go busy yourself. I'll go find your second senior sister to chat."

"Big brother, walk slowly!"

After sending Dongfang Bo away, Jiang Yun fell into contemplation once more.

This time, he wasn't thinking about things in Ginger Village, but about Lu Xiaoyu.

That Xu Chengshan's attack on himself, and his warning as he left, were enough for him to conclude that someone indeed wanted to harm Lu Xiaoyu.

Moreover, Xu Chongshen should not be the real mastermind, or else he wouldn't show his face so easily.

I only helped Lu Xiaoyu, and immediately I was punished by an outer sect disciple. It's not hard to imagine that the person behind this must be of a higher status, at least an outer sect disciple, or even possibly an inner sect disciple.

This also gave Jiang Yun a terrible headache. He originally thought that the one who framed Lu Xiaoyu was just an outer sect disciple, so as long as he himself became an outer sect disciple, he should be able to take care of Lu Xiaoyu. But if it were an inner sect disciple, then even if he became an outer sect disciple, it would be useless.

After all, the core disciples are the true heart of the Wenda Sect. Even if a conflict arises between inner and outer sect disciples, the sect will not inquire into the cause and will inevitably stand by the side of the core disciples.

In the end, Jiang Yun also couldn't think of a good solution and could only shake his head and say: "It's still the same sentence, no matter what the other party does, Xiaoyu is at least not in danger!"

As for the matter of him injuring Xu Chongshen's beloved pet and being threatened with revenge, he didn't take it to heart at all.

However, he thought of another problem: the appearance of the eldest brother seemed to make Xu Chunsan quite wary. He didn't say a word and turned around to leave.

This made him reconsider his big brother, and even the identities of the four people on Cangfeng Mountain. Perhaps, they were not just as simple as guarding miscellaneous items as he had thought.

This question naturally wouldn't have an answer, so after pondering for a moment, Jiang Yun gave up. Regardless of what identities his older brother and the others held within the Wen Dao Sect, at least his older brother was his benefactor.

Next, Jiang Yun finally turned his attention back to his cultivation.

"The five layers of his cultivation are the same as Feng Wuji's from before. However, he should have entered the Wheel Returning Sect long ago. As an inner disciple, he would certainly receive special care from the sect, and his current cultivation level is probably not just at the fifth layer but a higher realm."

"No, I can't afford to slack off at all, I need to work even harder! Since my senior brother told me to solidify my realm first, then I'll learn some techniques!"

The art, it can also be said that is one of the motivations for Jiang Yun to cultivate.

Back when he was in Mangshan, he had witnessed the people of Ginger Village use many kinds of spells on numerous occasions, especially his grandfather. Whenever his grandfather encountered a beast he couldn't handle, he would casually point out a solution with a single finger.

It may seem like an ordinary gesture, but it can sometimes cause the earth to tremble and crack, swallowing beasts whole. At other times, it can make weeds grow wildly, transforming into vines that ensnare the beasts.

Even when Feng Wuji attacked him with his wind blades, a flicker of envy crossed his heart. Sadly, at that time, he was just an ordinary person.

Now, he has finally become a cultivator and even reached the fifth level of Meridian Opening. His spiritual energy is overflowing, and he can already cast spells.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun took out that introductory fire magic spellbook and read it seriously.ered.To be honest, no matter what others think, Ginger Cloud still finds it quite unexpected that Xin Sheng would appear in this canyon.Xin Sheng's strength and sealing prowess are average.
