Chapter 97 – Divide the spoils


Mi Xiaojing took out a thick stack of talismans. These were all low-level talismans, which were quite good for defense and attack. They could save his true energy and launch attacks quickly in emergencies.

Then there were various small magical tools, such as jade plaques for active defense. Mu Xiaoyin also received two small magical tools this time, which made her very happy. She didn’t care what she got as long as Mi Xiaojing thought of her, which made her no longer feel lost.

Mi Xiaojing then took out a storage bag. This time, he received two storage bags in total. One was used to hold spirit stones when he traded with the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden, and the other was robbed from a cultivator, but he ended up being robbed back.

He handed one of them to Zhang Ke and said, “This is for you.”

Zhang Ke rubbed his eyes and couldn’t believe it. “A storage bag?”

Mi Xiaojing nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, it’s a storage bag. I unexpectedly obtained it. You can use it.”

Zhang Ke was amazed and opened his mouth wide. This was too exaggerated. He exclaimed, “Wow, wow, this is amazing! I’ve wanted a storage bag for a long time. It’s really inconvenient without one. Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle.”

Mu Xiaoyin looked at them with envy. She also wanted a storage bag, but she understood that Zhang Ke was the one who managed the entire household and needed it the most. So she just silently watched, feeling extremely envious.

Mi Xiaojing took out another storage bag and handed it to Mu Xiaoyin, smiling. “Junior Martial Sister, this is for you.”

Mu Xiaoyin’s reaction was the same as Zhang Ke’s. She stared in astonishment for a while and said, “Junior Martial Brother, where did you get so many storage bags? Did you rob them?” She casually mentioned it, hitting the nail on the head. Storage bags were indeed obtained through robbery.

Mi Xiaojing felt embarrassed and said, “Uh, yes, I robbed them.”

Mu Xiaoyin giggled and shook her head. “You always lie to me.”

Mi Xiaojing was speechless. It was the truth!

Mu Xiaoyin happily took the storage bag and smiled, “I don’t care where you got it from. As long as you give it to me, it’s mine. I just wanted a storage bag.”

Luo Bo smiled and asked, “Can Sister use it?”

Mu Xiaoyin widened her eyes and patted Luo Bo’s head forcefully. “Kid, what do you know? Of course, I can!” As she spoke, she slapped the storage bag, but her expression changed. She had no true energy, so she couldn’t open the storage bag.

“Ah? Ah! Ah! It really won’t open!”

Mu Xiaoyin was extremely disappointed, her face turning pale. How could this happen!

Mi Xiaojing said, “You can use a true incantation to open it, just one character.”

Mu Xiaoyin said, “Open!” Then she jumped up and exclaimed, “Wow, wow, wow! It opened, it really opened, haha!” She burst into uncontrollable laughter.

She was truly overjoyed because she had always been unable to cultivate. Mu Xiaoyin had a bit of inferiority complex until she started her evolutionary cultivation, which gradually improved her situation. This time, she was almost discouraged again, but thanks to Mi Xiaojing’s guidance, she was saved.

In fact, evolutionary cultivation and cultivation had similarities. The only difference was that cultivation had more methods and techniques, while evolutionary cultivation focused on true incantations as the main path. Of course, after deepening one’s cultivation level, there were other methods and more advanced techniques in evolutionary cultivation. However, how many evolutionary cultivators could smoothly advance to higher levels?

Mu Xiaoyin couldn’t put down the storage bag. For her, the storage bag not only served as a place to store things but also represented a qualification and a symbol of status.

Mi Xiaojing was very happy. He took out a pile of spirit stones to distribute. Regardless of anything, spirit stones were the hard currency in the cultivation world. They were indispensable for exchanging materials or weapons and for personal cultivation.

After giving out the items, Mi Xiaojing returned to the stone cave and went down to the second floor. This place was his dedicated cultivation and refining area, as well as the place where he studied the newly obtained banner formation.

The Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation, with seven elemental leaves!

Once he mastered this, Mi Xiaojing would have an extra trump card.

Mi Xiaojing had never seen such an exquisite banner formation before. At first glance, it looked like freshly plucked tender branches from a tree, and the leaves seemed to be still moist with dew. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that these were all illusions. Both the branches and leaves were densely covered with countless spirit scripts.

Extremely delicate wood spirit scripts formed the patterns of the branches and leaves themselves. Once formed, the wood spirit scripts were full of vitality, appearing lush and verdant. It was not surprising at all.

The seven elemental leaves of the Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation were intact, but Mi Xiaojing did not have the corresponding magical techniques and incantations. He needed Wang Weijun to decipher them. Fortunately, Wang Weijun had extensive knowledge and, after careful observation and several trials by Mi Xiaojing, they found the suitable incantations and techniques.

This was mainly based on their understanding of the wood spirit scripts. Once they knew how the wood spirit scripts were arranged, they could deduce the formation formed by the wood spirit scripts. Generally, there would be no problem in deciphering it.

It sounded simple, but even if someone who didn’t understand or know how to do it obtained this banner formation, they would be helpless. Just like the previous owner, even though he was already a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was still clueless.

He made a strange wooden box as the activation array disk, which not only added unnecessary complexity but also hindered the true power of the banner formation. In the end, it became useless and was directly traded away, thinking that he had taken advantage of it.

With Wang Weijun’s guidance, Mi Xiaojing gradually refined the Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation and completely mastered it. Unfortunately, his strength was relatively weak. According to Wang Weijun, if Mi Xiaojing had the strength of the Elemental Infant stage, he could definitely refine it again and increase the power of the entire banner formation by more than double.

Now that Mi Xiaojing could control this banner formation, it was already quite abnormal. It must be known that this was a banner formation used by Elemental Infant stage cultivators. With Mi Xiaojing’s Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, he originally had no chance of obtaining such a treasure.

Thanks to Wang Weijun’s guidance and his own good luck, he obtained such a powerful weapon.

According to Wang Weijun, with this formation, he didn’t need to fear even Foundation Establishment stage experts and could withstand attacks from Elemental Infant stage experts. Of course, he needed time to deploy it, or else he would be killed instantly.

From being captured by the Western Expansion Sect to joining the Sword Heart Sect, from being an extremely kind little evolutionary cultivator to becoming an entry-level cultivator, Mi Xiaojing’s personality was gradually changing. His kindness had been worn away by the cruel world, and he was becoming more assertive.

Mi Xiaojing said, “I want to try this Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation. Have I completely mastered it now?”

“Don’t test it outside, just do it here. The space here is large enough, and the Azure Descent Great Wood Banner Formation doesn’t care about the size of the space. It can be tested anywhere.”
