Chapter 678
Jiang Yi and the others had a feeling that Xiao Wu wouldn’t have a bright future, but Yi Tianyun didn’t share the same opinion! They surely missed big time if they thought that Xiao Wu didn’t have potential at all! In fact, Xiao Wu merely relying on his own power without using his bloodline was the proof that he would go far.
Now that Yi Tianyun realized that Xiao Wu had a quite rare bloodline, Yi Tianyun was positive that Xiao Wu could become a great general in the future. After a little training, Xiao Wu can become the commander of the front line!
“I almost failed. I guess I can’t go on like this!” Xiao Wu said as he scratched his head shamefully. He already calmed himself down after moving the boulder.
“No, you have to go on, but maybe not here!” Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. Yi Tianyun wanted to invite Xiao Wu to Heavenly Clouds Empire so that he could become the general that Yi Tianyun envisioned. Clearly, Yi Tianyun had the means and resources to further develop Xiao Wu’s potential.
But Yi Tianyun began to wonder whether he could apply the Evil Spirit Bloodline to Xiao Wu later. Yi Tianyun’s idea was based on the fact that Xiao Wu’s current power had the same alignment as the Evil Spirit Bloodline. If he could combine the two, Xiao Wu could become the general that could literally destroy anything on his path!
“Well, Brother Yi is too nice! The people in my village thought that I am only good for ploughing and taking care of the cows!” Xiao Wu said with a sad smile.
“That’s their loss!” Yi Tianyun said indifferently. But it was the truth! Xiao Wu’s power was wasted on farming jobs. Although it would make farming easier, it still wasn’t the best-case scenario for Xiao Wu!
“Okay, you two passed the trial, and the rest can go back to their village.” Jiang Yi said indifferently.
“Wait, isn’t it supposed to be three people?” one of the recruits asked dumbfoundedly. Yi Tianyun and Xiao Wu filled two slots out of three, so there was supposed to be one more slot for the men.
“The two of them are strong enough to beat several of you at the same time, and the rest of you also didn’t pass the final trial, so we don’t need you now.” Jiang Yi said indifferently.
The recruits who failed had no choice but to leave as they didn’t know what else to do, but before leaving, Jiang Yi gave them a lot of Body Refinement Pills to speed up their cultivation speed, these pills were actually cheap but it was still better than nothing.
Then again, the recruits came from poor households, so they were happy to get a bunch of Body Refinement Pills that they couldn’t afford on their own.
“You two come with me, and I hope you return faster this time Jiang Hong,!” Jiang Yi said teasingly towards Jiang Hong.
“Okay!” Jiang Hong said with an annoyed face.
The failed recruits were complaining as they didn’t have the chance to rest, but they followed Jiang Hong nonetheless and left while all the female recruits fortunately passed!
“I didn’t expect two of us could pass the trial!” Xiao Wu said with awe on his face.
“Well, it is normal considering your cultivation. The trial might seem harsh, but it was necessary for them to do this to root out the weak recruits.” Yi Tianyun said as he shook his head.
“Now follow me, don’t get lost!” Jiang Yi said as he made a sign to follow him. As soon as he said that, they immediately walked into a forest. The others were obviously awed to see the sudden change in their surrounding.
“Their Great Array formation isn’t bad. Clearly, people would have a tough time invading this place.” Yi Tianyun said as he looked around the forest layout. Under Jiang Yi’s leadership, they got out of the forest in no time, and the first thing Yi Tianyun noticed was the cold air and the strong smell of plum.
After that, Yi Tianyun saw a snow-capped mountain full of blossoming plum blossoms. The plum was in stark contrast to the white snow ground. Furthermore, these plums were different than a normal plum as their colour was much brighter pink than normal, which meant that these plum blossoms were actually a large piece of elixir’s material!
“This is amazing! I have never seen such wonderful scenery before! It’s like a miracle! we are in a forest just now, but suddenly we are surrounded by snow!” Xiao Wu said with an awe-struck face.
Yi Tianyun was also very interested in this place, but he was wondering where Shi Xueyun was now. Clearly, this place was a good place for Ice Attribute Cultivator! Yi Tianyun smiled to himself as he successfully infiltrated the hidden faction without much effort. It was clearly better than trying to get in with force!
Now, he only had to see Shi Xueyun’s condition to assess what his action would be next! When Shi Xueyun left the Heavenly Clouds Empire, the one who invited her also left a lot of treasures. That fact alone told Yi Tianyun that the enemy wasn’t looking for a fight. That was also the reason why Yi Tianyun infiltrated the place without making a fuss like this!
