[Year of the Wood Ox, May 20, the heavy rain hasn’t stopped, staying at Luojiang Market]
Starting today, I will record my daily cultivation practices and insights, so that in the future, people will not overlook that I, Xie Jingshan, am the reincarnation of a Sword Immortal, and not just see as the second-generation heir of the Mountain and Sea Building.
My achievents today are fully credited to myself; talent, mindset, and perseverance are all indispensable.
I am definitely not soone who rely stretches out their hand to ask the family for money, I...
Forget it, I’ll just jot it down casually for now. I’ll pay soone who writes well to polish it up later.
Just arrived at the market yesterday, and if I hadn’t seen that Jiang Yuebai secretly selling her "Wangshu’s Diary," I wouldn’t have known there was such a way to beco famous.
I bought that "Wangshu’s Diary" and took a look; it’s simply...
Full of exaggerated stories, unbearable to read!
This diary is obviously sothing she painstakingly polished and edited, the writing is decent, but she really exaggerates too much.
Exaggerates to the point where I thought I bought the diary of so heroic warrior, not hers, Jiang Yuebai’s.
Claiming to face a thousand-year-old Ghost King in Yinfeng Creek without fear, having the heart of a giant despite being a re servant, incredibly brave and unmatched? Protecting dear friends’ lives without worry?
At that ti she was clearly sitting on the ground scared to death, and if it weren’t for my tily use of Gale Sword Intent to slay the thousand-year-old Ghost King, she’d be long gone!
Forget it, considering the word "dear friend," I won’t argue with her.
Who would buy sothing so poorly written?
For friendship’s sake, I’ve already instructed the staff of Mountain and Sea Building to buy up all her copies.
To beco famous, well, I should be the one who (crossed out)
For the sake of comradeship, secretly doing sothing for her is nothing, after all, I’ve been righteous and kind-hearted Xie Jingshan since childhood.
Let see again how this shaless person praises herself!
...
[Year of the Wood Ox, May 24, the Luojiang Water Demon is wreaking havoc, the heavy rain still hasn’t stopped]
Why does it cut off at the critical mont, I watch day and night inside my room, and all I get is this?
What happened to that unnad loser in the Black Water Area who was so self-absorbed and arrogant just because his family had so filthy money? How did it all end?
He even suspected Jiang Yuebai of trying to seduce him? Oh my, I’m about to lose my temper!
Damn it, how good-looking must he be to have such an audacious thought? Jiang Yuebai doesn’t even fancy soone like Zhuo Qingfeng, who looks like a picturesque immortal, can she possibly like him?
I really want to give him two slaps personally!
So curious about what happens next, sigh!
Jiang Yuebai must be doing it on purpose, purposely stopping at the good part, and holding onto the sequel without selling it.
After many have finished the first part and co looking for the second part, then she’ll raise the price!
The staff at Mountain and Sea Building are all coming to for information, asking if I have the second part, saying many are waiting to read it.
I told them if they have the skills, they should shake Jiang Yuebai and see if the second part will fall out of her!
Frustrated and helpless, I went out for a walk, just in ti to see Jiang Yuebai, Yun Shang, and Ge Yuchan returning from assisting the market guards in slaying the Water Demon.
The three had disguised themselves, but nothing escapes my keen eyes, able to see through even the disguises of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Looking at how respectfully the Luojiang Market guards were treating Jiang Yuebai and the other two, I could already imagine how she would write this event in her "Wangshu’s Diary."
It’d definitely be... Market cultivators plagued by water troubles for long, but the Water Demon was too ferocious and elusive, many attempts to eliminate it ended in failure; moved by compassion, I decided to lend a hand, finally ridding the Water Demon.
So many tis she’s done things for bounty yet ended up writing them like this in her "Wangshu’s Diary."
Sure enough, I saw them receiving a storage bag from the guards, likely the reward!
Shaless, no moral integrity, stooping for a pittance, even Golden Core cultivators bow for it!
...
[Year of the Wood Ox, May 28, clear and refreshing weather, setting off for Muyun Domain, camping in the deep forest at night]
Jiang Yuebai dared to call a worthless bonehead!
What I have is clearly the one and only Supre Sword Bone, a sword bone is not a worthless bone!
Caught reading the "Wangshu’s Diary" by Jiang Yuebai, she asked if it was good, naturally, I told her it’s not.
Yun Shang and Ge Yuchan beside said it was good and claid the second part is even better.
Jiang Yuebai actually gave them the second part in advance?
And she calls herself a dear friend?!
I asked her for it, and she said it’s not good so don’t read it.
I **** (scribbled to the point it’s unreadable)
Really wish I could use Little Monk Niankong’s wooden fish stick to knock her out!
...
[Year of the Wood Ox, June 2, crossing the Three-Headed Mountain, encountering beast packs, resting in the mountain after the battle]
Today faced an encirclent by the Drumming Beast Group, Jiang Yuebai stubbornly held back from making a move.
In the end, the beast packs were wiped out by the combined efforts of Yun Shang and Ge Yuchan, even the less than ten-year-old Little Monk Niankong swung his staff to kill two.
Yun Shang, usually shy and reserved, turns into a different person in battle, commanding poisonous insects and spiritual beasts with ease from behind.
Ge Yuchan is still...
Seeing her makes my lower back ache, reminded of the unguarded mont when she stabbed my waist with a fatal strike back then.
Like Yun Shang, she’s just reached Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt, darting about in battle with such speed my eyes almost can’t track her, each knife strike drawing blood, making people’s hearts tremble.
These two, including Little Monk Niankong, have been ’corrupted’ by Jiang Yuebai over the years.
Even during a short rest like this, Little Monk Niankong sits cross-legged reciting scriptures, while Jiang Yuebai sets up a Protection Array and then fiddles with her bizarre Artifact Refining Formulas.
After dealing with the beast carcasses, Ge Yuchan releases a swarm of swift poisonous insects with Yun Shang, dodging and attacking among the swarm with just a silver needle.
Even Yun Shang, usually roaming the mountains catching insects and beasts, has been burying her nose in a book these two days.
They’ve all been led astray, just led astray!!
...
[Year of the Wood Ox, June 6, passing the Three-Headed Mountain, Muyun Domain in sight]
Nothing major these three days, still on the road, hunting demons, resting and practicing, on the road, killing demons...
Had I known these three plus a little one were such book enthusiasts they can’t even take their eyes off for a breath, I should have insisted on taking the Transmission Array straight to Vajra Platform instead of traveling slowly with them.
Tonight, I discovered sothing amusing.
These past few days, Yun Shang hasn’t parted with her book, even bumping into trees while walking; I wondered what she was reading, turns out it was a storybook!
When I caught her, her face turned as red as a monkey’s butt, and Jiang Yuebai mistakenly thought I was bullying Yun Shang, giving a good scolding.
Knowing there’s soone faking diligence, I felt more at ease.
...
[Year of the Wood Ox, June 9, the moon is dark and the wind is high, camping at Chunshan Pass]
Just half a day’s journey from the Ancient Transmission Array, Jiang Yuebai suddenly wanted to stay overnight on the border of Cang Country and the West Cloud Tribe.
In the middle of the night, she took out a Ghost Lantern with an Artifact Spirit, glowing green as it road around Chunshan Pass.
Thinking back, she seed to ntion in her "Wangshu’s Diary" that the origin of the Yinfeng Creek incident was here at Chunshan Pass.
Chunshan Pass is in mortal land, with only an old city wall guarded by a few dozen aging soldiers and generals, longing for their holand under the moon.
Nearby in the walled city, tens of thousands of troops are stationed, exuding a murderous aura.
Beyond this pass lies the vast grasslands, marking the territory of Muyun Domain.
The Muyun Domain is vast, the birthplace of the Buddhist Zen Sect, with long distances between the Sixteen Departnts of Xiyun, and Vajra Platform is located at its far Northwest corner, it truly saves ti to take the Ancient Transmission Array directly.
Compared to ti, Spirit Stones are negligible.
...
[Year of the Wood Ox, June 15]
Finally arrived at Vajra Platform, indeed the Transmission Array saves ti and effort.
After dropping off Niankong, switching direction to Southwest ans no need to traverse the Ten Thousand Mountains, just cutting through the Ancient Thunder Marsh, one can enter Extraordinary People Country.
The Ancient Thunder Marsh is extrely dangerous, and there are no Transmission Arrays within Extraordinary People Country, so we’ll have to grit our teeth and go through.
However, Jiang Yuebai seems very reluctant to cross the Thunder Marsh, could it be she’s afraid of thunder?
