Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 583: Chapter 278: Reunion at the Academy (Part 2)

"Does Master Changyun bring someone back every time he goes out?"

Jiang Feng picked up on the key information.

"Not every time. In the past five years, Master has only brought you back. To become a Talisman Master, you not only need powerful Soul Power as a foundation, but also a natural sensitivity to Rune Marks.

This time our Yagu Peak lost so many disciples, the Sect is only going to treat us better, so you absolutely cannot make any mistakes. For both you and me, this is a huge opportunity. Maybe you won’t even have to inscribe a Rune Mark before you can become an Official Disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect like me."

Qu Yiguang explained patiently.

His emotions were mixed; he didn’t know if this disaster before them should make him happy or excited.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, I remembered everything you said just now."

Jiang Feng seemed thoughtful.

It looks like ruthlessness is just Changyun’s personality. Bringing him back to Cyan Cloud Sect was just to have another disciple; there didn’t seem to be any other sinister intentions. Everything he’d worried about was probably just him overthinking things.

As for the reason why his Fortune Point wasn’t increasing, it should be related to the event happening now.

Even though Changyun bore him no ill will.

But the Blood Wolf Pack erupted from beneath the Paper Garden today, clearly having planned it for a long time. It was no coincidence; the wolves had prepared and chosen today to act.

Just imagine—

Jiang Feng spent every day working in the Paper Garden, and beneath it was a chasm with a pack of powerful Blood Wolves lurking, ready to strike. His situation was like standing on the very edge of a wolf pack’s bloody jaws, in a constant state of peril. How could his Fortune Point possibly increase?

If not for He Riwei sending him to draw blood from the Six-tailed Wolf King—

He discovered the Six-tailed Wolf King wasn’t dead, saw signs of its bloodline reviving, and slipped away just in time. Otherwise, when the Wolf King woke up fully, even with the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron in hand, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a single swipe.

Keep in mind: Wu Jingyang’s Earth Dao Foundation Establishment was only one step from Golden Core, and even he couldn’t truly kill the Six-tailed Wolf King, actually allowing the Wolf King to deceive everyone. That shows just how terrifying its strength was.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Thunderous rumbling boomed at that moment.

The chasm beneath the Paper Garden collapsed just then, as the Guardian Divine Beast, the Dragon Snake, burrowed back and forth along the cliff, riddling the rock walls with holes. Then, with a powerful stomp of its four limbs, the abyss collapsed and huge boulders rolled down. The Paper Garden turned from a chasm tens of meters wide into a giant pit hundreds of meters in diameter.

The Dragon Snake and the Blood Wolves were buried deep beneath it.

But everyone knew the Dragon Snake could burrow underground and even smash through mountains. Being buried in a pit was like it was returning home to sleep; compared to the Blood Wolf Pack, its situation was practically blissful.

This battle lasted two days.

The real fighting ended in two hours.

The Yagu Peak Main Hall was destroyed.

Nobody knew exactly what drew the Blood Wolf King inside, but one thing was certain: every Blood Wolf that stormed the Main Hall—whether Wolf King, Werewolf, or cannon fodder—was killed inside by the Sect’s experts.

The rest of the time, more than a day, was spent with Cyan Cloud Sect disciples hunting down and killing all the surviving Blood Wolves.

Yagu Peak was left scorched and barren.

Countless disciples were killed or wounded.

Like a giant acne pit on its nose, the remaining survivors of Yagu Peak were all transferred to Xiaolin Peak.

As an Outer Disciple of the Talisman Master Sect, Jiang Feng at Xiaolin Peak likewise received an independent courtyard. Though small, it still counted as his own territory.

The turmoil subsided.

Jiang Feng checked his status panel.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 19110271

Cultivation Technique: Foundation Establishment Technique - Great Success (4-200)

Skills: Alchemy (Mastery+) Rune Secret Spell Basics (Mastery+) Qi Condensing Pill (Proficient+)

Cultivation Realm: Third-Layer Foundation Establishment (Divine Dao)

Martial Arts Realm: Divine Realm (Peak)

Divine Power: Immortality

Jiang Feng noticed that his Fortune Point had surged more than twelve million in just a few days, confirming that Changyun had no ill intentions toward him and that the real danger was the Blood Wolf Pack under the Paper Garden.

As for why the Blood Wolves managed to hide under the Paper Garden without being discovered by Cyan Cloud Sect’s experts, and why they charged toward the Yagu Peak Main Hall, the sect was already investigating. But even if they found out, the truth wouldn’t be made public.

Jiang Feng didn’t bother with where exactly the problem lay.

Now, Yagu Peak’s disciples had suffered heavy losses.

Even Changyun was injured afterward. If not for being saved by the Cyan Cloud Sect’s experts, he might have perished in the flames too; so, as Qu Yiguang had judged, Jiang Feng and the few surviving disciples of the Talisman Master Sect had become highly valued.

Although the Sect was recruiting Talisman Master Sect disciples aggressively, Soul Power and sensitivity to Rune Marks were natural barriers that knocked out most of the crowd. It would take at least decades for the Talisman Master Sect to recover its numbers.

This made Outer Disciples of the Talisman Master Sect highly sought after.

"With nineteen million Fortune Points, I should be able to raise my Foundation Establishment Base and enter the Tunnel Domain."

"But what I need most right now isn’t basic strength."

"I’ve been in Cyan Cloud Sect for a month or two, always busy at Yagu Peak, and still haven’t visited the Academy to look for Cultivation Techniques. I’ve only studied various rune miscellany in Yagu Peak’s Library Pavilion.

Before, I wandered around for fear of drawing attention. Now that Yagu Peak is ruined, I can take this time to go to the Academy and seek out Cultivation Techniques. I’ve heard the Cyan Cloud Technique is the basic Cultivation Technique for sect disciples—since I am one, how can I not train in it?"
