For the next few days, people continuously left the valley, resulting in Si Fan Valley gradually becoming quieter.
The majority of people in Si Fan Valley were there for Elder Tianpeng, and now that Elder Tianpeng was in seclusion and not seeing anyone, it was natural that these people would not continue to wait indefinitely.
Thus, after their sentences were up, many of them gave up on deliberately making mistakes and chose to leave. Qi Changsheng and Gongsun Qingyue also left Si Fan Valley one after the other.
The environnt suddenly beca calr.
Jiang Li took the opportunity to enter a life of quiet cultivation.
Every day, he engaged in breathing control during ditation, switched to the Wise Man’s Heart, closed his eyes in deep thought, synchronized with the special frequencies in the air, regulated his breathing, in an attempt to adapt himself to that special breathing thod.
He was like a reclusive Daoist, far removed from the world’s disturbances, his days mundane yet profoundly fulfilling.
Ti leisurely passed, and before long, the two-month period of facing the wall was almost up.
Then, Jiang Li rembered he had yet to begin copying the Yin Talisman Scripture. It was all due to being too imrsed in studies that he had entirely lost track of ti.
At that mont, Jiang Li recalled the dread of not having written a paper when a holiday was ending.
Fortunately, copying the Yin Talisman Scripture didn’t require writing it oneself like a paper would.
Unfortunately, Jiang Li was required to copy nine hundred thousand characters.
Having no choice, Jiang Li had to continue working tirelessly, hoping to pull off another miracle in the last two days.
······
······
June 25th, during the year of 1995, in the Geng Shen month, on the Xin Chou day.
Suitable for capturing, netting, placing in a coffin, burial, taboo against marrying.
On this day, Jiang Li completed his sentence and left the valley. The light boat that ca to pick him up was more than half filled with the copied Yin Talisman Scripture, alarming the Law Enforcent Disciples who were poling the boat.
"This brother, what mistake did you commit to be punished with copying so many scriptures?" asked an Inner Sect Disciple clad in a Red Robe, his face filled with surprise, "I rember the last ti soone was punished to copy the Yin Talisman Scripture five hundred tis, and even he didn’t have this much."
"Probably because that fellow sect mber didn’t think to battle Brother Feng’s mother," Jiang Li casually responded.
"Ah... given Brother Feng’s strictness, a heavy punishnt is indeed likely," the Law Enforcent Disciple laughed.
"Yes, three thousand tis," Jiang Li quipped.
As Jiang Li, with the Mo Wu Battle Box turned sword hanging at his waist, spoke, he sat down at the prow of the boat with stable steps, but his footing seed virtually insubstantial, not causing any disturbance to the light boat.
Nearly two months of concentrated cultivation had allowed Jiang Li to completely adapt to Yinglong’s Breath. This breathing technique, along with the Innate Skill, purified his body, significantly enhancing his constitution. Each breath expelled all the stale air within him, also refining his flesh, bones, and muscles, ridding them of impurities during respiration.
At this mont, compared to two months ago, Jiang Li was nearly forty pounds lighter, yet his physique was far superior.
Simultaneously, in terms of True Qi and Divine Essence, Jiang Li had made remarkable progress. With the addition of Dual Cultivation of Life and Spirit, his Three Elents had reached a level far beyond general Ninth Grade.
Now, as he sat at the prow, his breathing subtly moved the surrounding air, causing faint ripples around him and making the water surface ripple outward in layers.
The Law Enforcent Disciple who started poling the boat couldn’t help but say, "Your cultivation of True Qi must be close to manifesting externally; it looks like you’ll be donning the Red Robe soon."
He thought these ripples were caused by the circulation of Jiang Li’s True Qi, not realizing it was the breathing thod.
This was clearly beyond the realm of common sense.
But what was even more beyond common sense was that Jiang Li still hadn’t felt the bottleneck, and his Dao Fruit wasn’t completely integrated yet. In the case of an ordinary Ninth Grade, the Dao Fruit would have already rged, prepared for a promotion.
"This is clearly related to Wang Chongyang’s Dao Fruit," Jiang Li muttered to himself in his heart.
He had thought his Dao Fruit was rely special in ability, not expecting to find such uniqueness in this regard. Jiang Li planned to look up the Dao Fruit records after returning, hoping to find so relevant information.
Thinking about these matters, Jiang Li maintained a normal expression and responded, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior Brother."
The Law Enforcent Disciple was quite talkative, not showing the distance usually seen between enforcers and those being punished. Jiang Li himself was good at socializing as well, and the two quickly beca acquainted after a few exchanges of words.
Thus, the light boat left the island where Si Fan Valley was situated, heading for the Sect located on Qiao Mountain.
About two quarters later, the distant halls ca into view first, followed by several figures in red robes moving around the dock. Jiang Li could even see so Inner Sect disciples staring intently at the approaching boat, their faces fierce and vigilant.
"Has sothing happened at the Sect?" Jiang Li asked curiously.
The Law Enforcent Disciple rowing the boat heard him and laughed, "Recently, an obscene book nad ’Young Hero A Bin’ surfaced in the Outer Disciple ranks, disrupting the Sect’s atmosphere, upsetting many righteous disciples. The Law Enforcent Hall is also paying close attention. It’s said that the author of this book is returning from Si Fan Valley soon, and those righteous-hearted disciples voluntarily requested to inspect those who finished their solitary reflection, hoping to find the author of the book."
Jiang Li: "..."
If he rembered correctly, the manuscript of "Young Hero A Bin" had been handed over to Elder Tianpeng, and even he, the author, had not kept a copy; only Qi Changsheng and he had handled it.
Jiang Li was a person of righteousness, without a trace of worldly desire in his heart. Thus, it couldn’t be clearer who had sold the book.
—Qi Changsheng.
Sohow, after the manuscript was transferred, he had made a copy and then stirred up an improper folk culture within the Sect using this talebook.
As soon as Jiang Li thought of this, he fiercely blad Qi Changsheng in his heart.
How dare he sell the book without giving a share.
[Just then, the Law Enforcent Disciple rowing the boat behind him quietly clenched the oar in his hand and appeared to ask casually, "Junior Brother, while you were in Si Fan Valley, did you hear of anyone skilled at writing talebooks?"]
Jiang Li didn’t even need to look back to guess that the Senior Brother behind him was also glaring fiercely, ready to strike him with an oar at any mont.
Turns out his chatty nature was just to corner Jiang Li.
During this ti in Si Fan Valley, the identity of Cao Xuande had offended quite a few people.
Not to ntion being favored by Elder Tianpeng and receiving the Mo Wu Battle Box; just his technique of breaking Brother Jing Lei’s ntal defenses and the moves he used to defeat Sister Qiushui were enough to draw intense hostility.
Being favored by the elder, possibly becoming the disciple of one of the Six Great Elders;
Receiving the Mo Wu Battle Box;
Suspected close relationship with Gongsun Qingyue, harboring the "True Intent Technique Python"...
Then, a ready-made excuse erged, a certain Qi surna Senior Brother was peddling talebooks.
Were it Jiang Li himself, he’d probably seize the opportunity too.
Seeing Jiang Li suddenly grow silent and not respond, the Senior Brother behind him slowly lifted the oar,Probe saying, "Junior Brother?"
"I haven’t heard of such a person!" Jiang Li declared emphatically, "I, Jiang Li, have always kept myself pure and especially detest such vile individuals. If Senior Brother finds this person, please inform so I can help clean up our Sect!"
