JSCMU-Chapter 161: Combat Power Soars

After the Azure Lotus Sword Technique reached the second stage, the Surging Wave Sword Intent also advanced to the second level.

Back when she was still in Foundation Establishment Stage, the First Wave could raise her power to Golden Core Stage.

Now, she’s already at the Golden Core Stage, and her sword intent reached the second stage.

Then, to what level could it enhance her strength now?

Yun Jin wandered around He Mountain and found a spacious area.

Then, she took out an ordinary spiritual sword.

She raised her hand and summoned a rain cloud.

Facing the rain cloud, Yun Jin executed the First Wave!

The rain cloud instantly began to expand wildly, and within the cloud layers, blue lightning began to stir restlessly.

Yun Jin estimated that the power was still within the range of Golden Core Stage and had not reached Nascent Soul Stage yet.

She said in a low voice, “Second Wave!”

With the First and Second Waves stacked together, the rain cloud’s range once again expanded explosively! Several more streaks of lightning appeared in the clouds, looking quite ferocious.

After performing the Second Wave, the power should’ve reached Nascent Soul Stage.

“What’s going on?” A disciple guarding He Mountain looked up, “Such a huge rain cloud, is it going to rain?”

“Probably. Let’s go inside to take shelter.”

“Where’s Junior Sister Yun? She’s not coming down even in this weather?”

“One can only say, the sisterly bond must be really deep, making her unwilling to come down.”

Everyone laughed at that.

They were just about to head inside when the rain cloud suddenly disappeared.

The disciples: “??”

They looked up again.

Where was the rain cloud? The sky was clearly still bright and sunny above the clouds.

Was that… an illusion just now?

While they were still uncertain, another rain cloud appeared in the sky.

This time, its range seemed even larger than before.

A moment later, it expanded several times again.

The entire He Mountain was shrouded in the rain cloud, and combined with the lightning streaks, it felt like the end of the world.

What on earth was happening?

Before they could react.

The rain cloud vanished in the blink of an eye.

It all lasted no more than three breaths.

The disciples looked at each other in disbelief.

What was this? Did they all see a ghost?

On He Mountain, Yun Jin had already withdrawn the divine technique.

Just then, she used the Tai’a Sword.

With the boost from the Tai’a Sword, the power increased even further.

Yun Jin estimated that within Nascent Soul Stage, this level of power wasn’t weak at all.

On top of that, she had Xuan Jue, which inherently came with five divine techniques. If used properly, it would be another trump card.

Next, she would refine more pills. In the final month, she could still push herself a bit further.

If lucky, she could reach late Golden Core Stage.

By then, her power would rise further, and there wouldn’t be a problem defeating Ruan Jun.

After testing the sword technique, Yun Jin returned to the cave entrance.

Ye Danxia sat cross-legged and appeared to be diligently cultivating, but the Emotion Points she kept generating told Yun Jin that her inner thoughts were far from calm.

Yun Jin smiled slightly, “Danxia, making you listen to the same song all this time must be too much. Why don’t we stop playing it?”

“Emotion Points +500!”

Ye Danxia actually burst out with a 500 at that moment. She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze full of hope as she looked at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin walked over and turned off the sound-recording stone.

Ye Danxia almost felt like she could weep from joy.

However.

That joyful expression froze on her face, because Yun Jin pulled out a new stone.

Lively music began playing again.

“You are my little apple~…”

Ye Danxia’s face turned green!

It’s that brainwashing tune again.

Yun Jin really had no intention of leaving her a way out!

“I’m so good to you, right? This new song is for you,” Yun Jin said sincerely.

Ye Danxia gritted her teeth and couldn’t resist asking, “Aren’t you also listening to this? Doesn’t it affect you?”

This kind of song felt more terrifying than the legendary demonic music!

“It affects me,” Yun Jin said with a bright smile as she took out a sound-isolating talisman and stuck it on herself. “Now it’s fine.”

Ye Danxia’s mental state collapsed.

Yun Jin was really crazy.

She wasted two talismans just to torment her! Did she have too many talismans?

Then Ye Danxia realized, based on Yun Jin’s methods, those talismans must’ve come from the ring, and that ring was supposed to be hers. She felt even worse.

“Emotion Points +500!”

Yun Jin’s smile grew even more radiant.

As expected of her dear Baby Danxia! The Emotion Points was practically endless.

With Little Apple playing, although the Emotion Points gains were smaller, they still popped up steadily in dozens, sometimes even over a hundred.

Yun Jin was very satisfied with this.

She returned to the small wooden house, pasted sound-isolating and concealment talismans on the outside, and then took out the pill furnace to begin refining pills.

Since she’s harvesting Emotion Points over there, she couldn’t be idle herself either. Time to refine a batch of Grade-3 pills.

Among the Grade-3 pill recipes she currently had, only the Qi Gathering Paste could increase spiritual power, so that would be her main focus. The other pills had different effects and didn’t need to be made in large amounts, so one furnace each for backup would suffice.

The three pill furnaces began operating at the same time.

Yun Jin first took out Yang Hui’s artifact refining insights and, as usual, read them to increase her proficiency.

Then, she began sword training.

The pill furnaces operated on their own, but she couldn’t just sit idle!

Although advancing to the third level within a month would be very difficult, even a little more proficiency would help.

Yun Jin was busy when suddenly.

A notification sounded in her mind.

“Ding. The host’s eldest disciple, Ye Cheng, has advanced his botany technique to the second level. The host’s botany technique has unconditionally advanced to the third layer.”

In the next moment.

A surge of insight poured into Yun Jin’s mind.

All three manuals related to botany techniques directly advanced to the third level.

Yun Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Ye Cheng was originally a third-grade botanist, but after switching to the system-produced botany manuals, he had to start from scratch.

Even with his previous experience and the cheat she activated for him, the fact that Ye Cheng could cultivate the improved manual to the second level in such a short time proved that he was indeed a rare genius in botany techniques.

It’s worth it to take in this eldest disciple!

A smile appeared on Yun Jin’s face.

Once she had a surplus of Emotion Points again, she would definitely continue to invest in this eldest disciple.

The return on investment was too high!

Yun Jin took out a transmission token to encourage Ye Cheng a little, urging him to keep up the hard work. As a result, from just those few words of encouragement, Ye Cheng actually gave her another 5 points of bond value. Their bond value jumped straight to 85.

Yun Jin could only sigh. This disciple was just too sincere.

If he met a deceitful master, wouldn’t he be scammed to the bone?

After encouraging Ye Cheng a bit, Yun Jin went back to her own work.

While Yun Jin was harvesting Emotion Points on He Mountain.

In the Spirit Beast Pavilion.

Ling Fei stared at Gun Gun with a head full of black lines.

Yun girl was clearly reliable and mature, so what was wrong with this Gun Gun? Why didn’t he learn a single good trait?

In the middle of the spirit beast crowd, Gun Gun stood there, arrogantly shouting, “Let me put this out there, every single one of you is trash! I, Master Gun Gun, alone can crush all of you!”

Ling Fei couldn’t understand what it said, but judging from the furious howls of the Qi Refining Stage spirit beasts, he had a pretty good idea that Gun Gun wasn’t up to anything good!
