Another Cliché Cultivation Story

Chapter 12

Ji Xian appeared on his cliff. He sat down in his chair and lightly yawned. He opened his palm and over forty spatial rings floated in front of him.

Even when they know they cant use any items after descending into the Lower World theres still a lot of people who choose to bring their spatial rings with them.

Ji Xian sat comfortably in his chair as he went through the content in the rings one by one.

What the heck is this rock? Hmm, this herb is.. no clue. This flower is quite pure and from its energy, maybe it can be used to strengthen the body.

Ji Xian immediately noticed a problem. He couldnt recognize most of the items in the spatial rings. Although he was quite knowledgeable in several topics through reading, his knowledge was limited to the Mortal Haven World. Anything regarding the Upper World, there were still many things he didn't know.

Ji Xian could only sigh and put most of the items aside and attempt to learn more about them later. Only after knowing more about their effects would he be confident enough to use them in simulations. After all, the accuracy of the simulations was based on his knowledge.

After sorting through the items for a while, Ji Xian grabbed a ring that looked noticeably different from the rest. It had runes intricately carved on the inside and outside of the ring.

This should be Di Shis ring. Di Xiangs ring was pretty disappointing for someone who was originally supposed to lead the Nether race so hopefully, this will have something good.

Inside the ring were several jade slips, weapons, and materials. Ji Xian put them aside and read the jade slips with his spiritual sense.

A couple of hours passed and Ji Xian put down the last jade slip. He tapped his fingers on the armrest and closed his eyes to recollect his thoughts.

One Divine Art that doesnt seem to be from the Nether race, one Legacy that I cant use, and this last jade slip

Ji Xian had a weird expression on his face.

Is this a blessing from the Heavens?

The last jade slip contained information on over a million ores and herbs. This included names, pictures, and descriptions. What caused Ji Xian to look weird, however, was that the information had been graded.

68% Is this for some kind of alchemy test? Looks like the I cant trust this jade slip completely, Ji Xian shook his head.

Di Shi is so useless. Thats like a D plus, not even a passing grade. I guess I cant blame him, not everyone is talented like me.

It was a good thing Di Shi wasnt around to hear Ji Xian's narcissistic talk otherwise he would cough another mouthful of blood. This test was merely one of three and after spending almost several decades studying, he still couldnt pass the first written test. Of course, this was already a decent result, many people in the Upper World spent their whole life not even passing the first test.

Now that Ji Xian has the jade slip, he could use it to reference the materials he's gotten as spoils. He would no longer need to waste time trying to find out their uses. Unfortunately, there were still some items in the spatial rings that remained unknown to him. There were still a few jade slips he would have to go over. He also had an abundance of weapons now. These weapons belonged to a higher grade than seen in the Mortal Haven World.

Overall, he was satisfied with his spoils.

Ji Xian closed his eyes as he leaned back on his chair, rocking it back and forth.

A month later.

Xia Lihua and a few Ancestors, including Wu Long and Zhang Chao, were currently flying to the Aether Sect.

Lihua, youve just recovered, are you sure you want to go to the Southern Continent so soon?

Xia Lihua looked at Wu Long, Ive rested enough. Besides, Im quite curious about this new Guardian of the Southern Continent, she replied.

Zhang Chao nodded then shook his head.

It is a pity that Guardian Zhao Ping has passed away.

Xia Lihua let out a sigh and a sad expression appeared on her breathtaking face.

Guardian Zhao Ping helped me a lot when I became a Guardian. If I meet his descendants, I will grant them some opportunities.

The other Ancestors nodded their heads and continued the rest of their journey in silence.

When they neared the border of the Southern Continent, they were greeted by the sight of Huo Honghui and another two people. Standing at his left was the white-robed Bai Ming, his long beard hanging down to his chest. To his right was another Ancestor they met during the battle but hadn't been introduced to.

Greetings Guardian Xia, greetings fellow Ancestors. Huo Honghui and the other two beside him cupped their hands and greeted the visitors.

Please follow me to the Aether Sect. Well be taking a little detour to avoid the cliff where the Young Master lives, said Huo Honghui.

Young Master?

Whos the Young Master?

A couple of the Ancestors from the Northern Continent threw a questioning look at Huo Honghui. The Sect Master of the Aether Sect was calling someone Young Master?

The Young Master is the new Guardian of the Southern Continent. He prefers being called that instead of his title. Huo Honghui said with a dry laugh.

After a brief silence and a few glances at each other, Wu Long stepped up.

Huo Honghui, our purpose here is to meet the new Guardian and thank him for saving us, he said.

Huo Honghui had an awkward look on his face. Remembering the words that Ji Xian wanted him to pass on, he was hesitant.

Suddenly, the man to his right, wearing a robe of black and white similar to Huo Honghui took a step forward, The Young Master said he would only meet with Guardian Xia for now.

Hearing that, Huo Honghui breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Xians words were unpleasant and he didnt want to offend the other party within just the first couple of minutes.
