After much polite refusal and insistence, Ji Linghan finally put on the Spirit Armor.
With starry glimmers, her entire demeanor seemed to transform once she donned it.
The transparent Spirit Armor quickly merged with her clothing, transforming into a long white palace dress.
Transparent, ethereal flows of light appeared around her, with a faint, ethereal aura.
"A fairy!"
Jiang Cheng was almost entranced.
In the distance, Yin Xiaoxue and other female disciples were filled with envy.
"Ah, it's obvious our Sect Leader cares most for Senior Sister Ji."
"Looks like we don't stand a chance."
Though the words were somewhat sour, their eyes showed no jealousy.
Ji Linghan smiled gracefully and bowed respectfully.
"I shall not let down the Sect Leader's gift!"
...
"By the way, wasn't our sect's spirit vein broken? Why is the spirit Qi concentration so high now?"
Upon mentioning this, Ji Linghan gave a sweet smile.
"It's all thanks to the Sect Leader's daughter."
Jiang Cheng was puzzled, "Ah Huang's doing?"
This time, it was Ji Linghan's turn to be confused.
"Ah Huang?"
"Oh, that's the name I gave her. Easy to remember, right?"
Ji Linghan was almost speechless.
Such an adorable young girl, and you give her a name like that?
"Ah... after you left, Sect Leader, Ah Huang woke up shortly and headed straight for the spirit vein's location."
It took her effort to say this name.
"And then? Did she repair the spirit vein?"
Jiang Cheng asked eagerly.
"Yes, it was quite miraculous."
Recollecting, Ji Linghan found it still unbelievable.
That was a spirit vein, after all, and it being restored after breaking was unheard of.
"Not only was it restored, but the spirit Qi concentration is now even higher than before."
"Our Feixian Sect's spirit vein should now be at Third Grade."
This didn't surprise Jiang Cheng much.
Ji Linghan wasn't aware of Ah Huang's background, but he was. It was a World Heart Fragment.
Spirit Qi and the like were her areas of expertise.
Arriving at the spirit vein in the back mountain, he sensed an even greater difference.
Compared to the Second Grade spirit vein of Extreme Moon Sect, the vein in front of him seemed alive, possessing its own consciousness.
"Mom!"
From within the spirit vein, a figure flew out.
Like a fledgling sparrow returning to the forest, she dashed into his arms.
Brother Cheng nearly landed on the ground from the impact, but thinking of how close his daughter was to him, he couldn't help but feel 'greatly comforted.'
He didn't bother with the issue of titles, knowing it was pointless.
"Good daughter, do you like living inside the spirit vein?"
Ah Huang still looked like a seven or eight-year-old, so cute it melted one's heart.
"It's so comfy in here; I was just swimming inside."
"Alright, as long as you like it."
Jiang Cheng then asked, "Did you enhance the grade of this spirit vein?"
"Yes, yes!"
Ah Huang nodded, her bright eyes seeming to ask for praise.
Brother Cheng patted her head, gratifying her.
"Job well done!"
And he praised himself a little as well.
"As expected of my daughter."
Ah Huang rubbed her head contentedly against his chest.
"If Mom can find other fragments, I can make the spirit vein's grade even higher."
"There are other World Heart Fragments?"
Jiang Cheng was surprised; such a miraculous treasure has more than one?
"Yes, but I don't know where they are. Mom will have to find them."
"Alright, Dad will keep an eye out!"
He was naturally keen to increase Feixian Sect's spirit Qi concentration.
But the world was enormous, and he hadn't even explored outside Qinglan Prefecture yet.
Even with Insight, it felt like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Are the other fragments also in some spirit Qi deprived lands?"
If they were all in spirit Qi barren places, it at least gave him a range of clues.
Ah Huang shook her braids angrily, "I was unlucky to be born in the Forbidden Land, starting with so little spirit Qi that I almost couldn't grow, but other fragments may not be."
So that's the case.
It seemed he had to rely on fate.
He chatted with his daughter for a while, played with her, and then returned to the front hall.
The next step was, of course, to annihilate the other three sects involved in attacking Feixian Sect.
But having used up his two resurrections today, Brother Cheng had to curb his strong desire to show off.
He decided to cultivate instead, since he was a cultivator after all.
The Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body was overwhelmingly powerful to cultivate, but with Feixian Sect's vast expanse of over a thousand miles, he could find a secluded mountain forest to avoid affecting other disciples' spirit Qi absorption.
While he cultivated for a day and a night, the outside world was already abuzz.
The destruction of Extreme Moon Sect, the Tiger Demon illusion, Jiang Cheng's visit—all the details had been spread vividly, rapidly evolving into over a hundred versions.
The cultivation realm's information spread quickly, thanks to Sound Transmission Talismans and Transmission Spirit Artifacts.
Extreme Moon Sect was among the top three middle-class sects within Qinglan Prefecture, a significant power.
Their sudden annihilation, leaving none behind, was a considerable impact.
Even Red Sun Sect and the Duanmu Family expressed close attention, sending many disciples and spies to gather more details.
They naturally didn't believe Jiang Cheng accomplished this alone.
The saying goes, with such power, why stay in a small place like Feixian Sect?
To them, this seemed likely the doing of forces outside Qinglan Prefecture; there must be deep scheming and conspiracy behind it.
The forces capable of wiping out Extreme Moon Sect in a short time could already pose a threat to them.
That Jiang Cheng was either just a pawn sent by another major power,
or a facade being used.
Regarding this person, both major forces also sent spies, planning to find out the truth.
Jiang Cheng, at the center of this whirlwind, was completely unaware and couldn't be bothered to investigate.
With only about 20 people under his command, he simply didn't have enough manpower.
Time quickly moved to the next day.
"Ah, another day full of King Bi vibes!"
With his resurrection count restored, Brother Cheng stretched lazily.
After a night of cultivation, he had already reached the Soul Splitting Realm Sixth Layer.
Rising two small realms overnight, if this spread, it would probably be considered a miracle.
But Brother Cheng appeared calm.
With the Three Realms' top cultivation physique, what else could he do?
Moreover, his daughter's enhanced spirit Qi concentration boosted him.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
"Has the Sect Leader finished cultivating?"
"Such towering strength, yet so diligent and relentless. The Sect Leader truly is a model for us cultivators!"
"The Sect Leader seems even more handsome than yesterday..."
"Not just seems, definitely is!"
Returning to the main hall, the disciples turned into sycophants, which Brother Cheng thoroughly enjoyed.
Only after they finished their praises did he wave a hand.
"Your heartfelt compliments, try not to say them in crowded places; just praise in private."
"After all, I have a thin skin..."
Everyone nearly stumbled.
They'd never seen someone with such thick skin!
Yet somehow, they felt this stylish Sect Leader was much more approachable than those seriously stern old fogeys.
