JSCMU-Chapter 152: Why Not Give It a Try

Yang Hui’s favor, Yun Jin accepted it.

In the future, she would definitely repay him.

By the time she finished putting away those jade slips, the sky was already beginning to brighten.

Yun Jin thought for a moment.

Then contacted the several senior brothers and sister through the communication token, arranging to meet them at Yue Zhao’s place.

“Little Junior Sister,” Si Wanning yawned, “why do you look so serious? Is something going on today?”

Yun Jin was just about to speak.

Si Wanning suddenly became alert and said cautiously, “I’ve been diligently practicing swordsmanship lately!”

Yun Jin was a bit helpless, “Second Senior Sister, I didn’t say you were slacking.”

Only then did Si Wanning breathe a sigh of relief.

Now when she sees Yun Jin, she’s even more afraid than when seeing Lin Ya.

“Little Junior Sister, now that you’ve come out of seclusion, how were the results?” Yue Zhao asked curiously. Since Yun Jin hadn’t come to find them after leaving the Earth-Fire Chamber, he figured she needed to rest, and didn’t go disturb her.

Yun Jin casually took out the Tai’a Sword.

Yue Zhao’s expression instantly changed.

This Tai’a Sword, compared to when he first saw it, was already completely different.

Though the appearance didn’t change much, it now exuded a faint, pleasant aura.

“This is… two stars…” Yue Zhao’s voice trembled a bit.

“Barely made it. Now Tai’a is mid-tier Xuan-rank, and with its special properties, this sword is no worse than Ruan Jun’s,” Yun Jin said.

Ruan Jun’s primary cultivation was not in swordsmanship. He had a very powerful palm technique, paired with a pair of gauntlet-type magical weapons, greatly enhancing its power.

The gloves were called Shining Gold Gloves, at high-tier Xuan-rank.

In terms of level, they were one tier higher than Yun Jin’s Tai’a Sword, but Yun Jin was confident that Tai’a would not be inferior to any high-tier Xuan-rank artifacts.

However, Ruan Jun’s master was Zhao Wuji, and based on Zhao Wuji’s level of hatred toward her, he would definitely prepare some secret treasures for Ruan Jun.

When the time came for the fight, she would still have to be cautious.

Yue Zhao looked at the confident Yun Jin, but his heart was full of complicated feelings.

Two months ago.

A disciple who just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage said she was going to have a life-and-death duel with a Nascent Soul Stage expert.

Everyone thought Yun Jin was crazy.

Even they didn’t believe Yun Jin could win.

But now, two months have passed.

Yun Jin’s cultivation reached Golden Core Stage.

She also learned the Azure Lotus Sword Technique. With her geniusness, she probably improved even more than before.

And now, with this Tai’a Sword…

Could it be.

A battle that leaps over a major cultivation realm was truly going to happen?

Golden Core versus Nascent Soul. 

While it was still hard to believe, a strange feeling began to grow in Yue Zhao’s heart.

He felt like.

Little Junior Sister might actually win!!

One month remained.

To other cultivators, that was a very short period of time.

But to Little Junior Sister?

She had only been cultivating for two months in total!

This one month might be enough for her to improve even further!

By then, the outcome of the duel would really be uncertain.

Even so, Yue Zhao still had a thread of worry in his heart.

Junior sister might win, but then what? Zhao Wuji might grieve if he lost a chief disciple, but it wouldn’t shake his foundations.

After that, Zhao Wuji might go completely insane.

He might even tear off all pretense and attack little junior sister directly.

When that time came.

Who could protect Yun Jin?

The thought Yue Zhao had before now came up again.

Little Junior Sister should have a much broader future.

Didn’t that seventh-rank alchemist Qi Yu declare he wanted to take little junior sister as a disciple?

Maybe…

Many thoughts spun in Yue Zhao’s mind.

Before he could come to a conclusion.

Yun Jin’s voice rang out, “Senior brothers, senior sister, weren’t you guys collecting contribution points to trade for the Heaven Mending Pill formula? Did you manage to get it?”

Yue Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, “It’s still a bit short. But if we want to exchange for it, we can do it anytime.”

Yun Jin was a little confused.

Yue Zhao explained, “Points can be exchanged with spirit stones. But it takes one high-grade spirit stone to exchange for one point. The price is extremely expensive, and normally not many people would make the exchange.”

“Then exchange it,” Yun Jin said directly. “I need the Heaven Mending Pill formula.”

Yue Zhao’s expression shook. He thought of something and looked at Yun Jin with disbelief.

That was a grade seven pill!

Si Wanning looked even more confused, “Little Junior Sister, what do you need the Heaven Mending Pill formula for? Even if we had the formula, we’d still need to ask some other alchemist to help.”

Yue Zhao’s expression moved slightly, and he couldn’t resist asking, “Little Junior Sister, did you already find out about the matter with Qi Yu? Are you planning to ask him for help?”

Qi Yu had always wanted to take little junior sister as his disciple. If she asked for help, he would probably agree.

But…

That’s a grade seven pill!

What a massive favor!

He thought it was a good choice for little junior sister to become Qi Yu’s disciple. But if she owed such a huge favor from the start, then in front of Qi Yu later, wouldn’t she lack confidence? Also, if Qi Yu wanted to manipulate little junior sister in any way, would she still have room to refuse?

“No, I don’t agree to this,” Yue Zhao said instinctively.

Yun Jin looked at him strangely, “What Qi Yu? Eldest Senior Brother, what are you not agreeing to?”

Yue Zhao was stunned, “You don’t know about Qi Yu?”

Yun Jin shook her head.

Indeed, she didn’t know.

Yue Zhao was dazed for a moment, “Then the reason you want the pill formula is…”

Yun Jin said calmly, “I want to refine the Heaven Mending Pill.”

Clatter.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

The teacup in Yu Songnian’s hand somehow fell to the ground.

Yu Songnian lowered his head in embarrassment. He was just shocked for a moment, why were they all staring at him? So awkward.

Si Wanning couldn’t hold back anymore and said, “Little Junior Sister! The Heaven Mending Pill is a grade seven pill! Usually, only seventh-rank alchemists have a good chance of refining it. Sixth-rank alchemists might succeed. Fifth-rank alchemists have a sliver of hope if they go all out. But… for anyone below fifth-rank to attempt a grade seven pill… that’s unheard of!”

Normally.

Golden Core Stage cultivators have a chance to become third-rank alchemists.

Nascent Soul Stage cultivators have a chance to become fourth-rank alchemists.

Soul Transformation Stage cultivators have a chance to become fifth-rank alchemists.

Late Soul Transformation Stage cultivators could challenge sixth-rank.

At minimum, seventh-rank alchemists had to be at Fusion Stage!

As for Little Junior Sister.

She’s currently at Golden Core Stage. That’s already an incredible cultivation speed, but because her cultivation time was still short, she could only attempt to be a third-rank alchemist.

Between that and seventh-rank, there’s a massive gap!

“I know,” Yun Jin smiled slightly. “But still, I have to give it a try.”

Give it a try. With the system’s help, she still had hope of success.

If she didn’t try.

She might be able to survive on her own, but what about master, and senior brothers and sister?

They might not have any chance of survival.

Even if she gave up her dignity and begged some bigshot for protection, the others’ protection was always temporary. Once the bigshot gave up on protecting them, they would immediately be exposed.

Only if Lin Ya regained his strength, could he lead Heavenly Sword Peak to stand tall again.

After all, at his peak condition, her master firmly suppressed Zhao Wuji!
