Chapter 588
The sandstorm made it difficult to keep one's eyes open, leaving only a narrow slit to see through.
At the spot where Gong Chen had previously encountered Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi now sat cross-legged.
Squinting her eyes to look around, even though the sandstorm made it hard to open them fully, she tried her best to carefully observe her surroundings through the narrow slits.
She had stayed in that courtyard for quite a while, and now her body felt much better than before.
For days, she had been waiting for a message from that senior.
The next moment, she saw someone descend from mid-air and land in front of her.
Jiang Zhi quickly stood up.
She remembered this person; it was the old man with a hoe whom she had seen with the senior in that courtyard before.
"Senior," she bowed respectfully.
"You remember me, eh," Dai Cang smiled. "The one who brought you here earlier has left Dark Shadow Island to handle some business outside. From now on, I'll be your point of contact."Hearing that someone had gone outside, Jiang Zhi's eyes widened, her heart suddenly bursting with joy!
"Really?!" she asked in shock. She never imagined that not only could that master leave, but there was actually a way for others to go out as well!
"What's so surprising about that?" Dai Cang said nonchalantly. "If you can pledge loyalty to the master, you'll eventually have the chance to go out too."
Jiang Zhi was at a loss for words, clasping her hands together in prayer, "Then may I know if I can pledge my loyalty to the master now?"
What she had thought was merely hope before, she now realized was not just hope!
It was something that could be easily achieved!
"Come with me, the master has returned. He has agreed to take you under his wing."
Jiang Zhi was so excited she didn't know what to do with her hands. "Really?!"
"You mean I can go with you now?!"
"Yes," Dai Cang looked at Jiang Zhi's extremely excited state, understanding her feelings completely.
Who wouldn't be happy to receive such a great opportunity?
Dai Cang quickly led Jiang Zhi to the entrance of the courtyard.
Jiang Zhi looked left and right, smoothing out her already tattered clothes repeatedly. Nervously wringing her hands, she followed behind Dai Cang as they walked into the courtyard.
Her heart was pounding.
She was very nervous.
After following Dai Cang inside, she had expected to meet the legendary master, but to her surprise, there was no one in the room.
The senior in front of her didn't even pause, but went straight towards the back courtyard.
"Senior, where is the master?" Jiang Zhi carefully asked as she followed along.
"The master? He left with the senior who was in charge of you earlier to handle some business," Dai Cang said.
Jiang Zhi felt a bit disappointed.
For days, she had been on edge, eagerly anticipating the chance to meet the almost godlike master.
She thought she would finally get to see him today.
But it turned out she still didn't have the opportunity.
As he spoke, Dai Cang turned to look at Jiang Zhi.
He saw the disappointment on her face.
"Although the master isn't here, he has already instructed that as long as you swear loyalty to him, you can stay," Dai Cang said, noticing Jiang Zhi's face light up with joy once again.
"Oh, and I'll pick some grapes and fruits for you in a moment," Dai Cang added. "After you eat them, take some time to recover properly."
He paused to think for a moment, "It's best if you find a quiet place to eat them."
"Yes," Jiang Zhi responded, the thought of being able to eat the grapes from the courtyard, which were better than the top-tier celestial pills from the immortal realm, along with the other fruits...
She couldn't contain her inner joy.
Soon, Jiang Zhi took the oath of loyalty and officially became a member of this place.
Auntie, carrying a vegetable basket, came over and placed a small plate of fruits and grapes in front of Jiang Zhi, "This could be considered your initiation gift."
"Don't rush, find a quiet place and eat slowly."
Another reminder to eat in a quiet place...
Jiang Zhi looked down and saw only two grapes and a small piece of fruit on the plate.
Seeing this, Auntie said, "Don't think it's too little, you might not be able to handle more."
"I don't think it's little at all," Jiang Zhi quickly replied, "I'm satisfied with even one!"
Auntie smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left to do her work.
Jiang Zhi looked at the fruits on the plate, not daring to pick it up, afraid she might accidentally drop it.
She wrung her hands, looked around at her surroundings, and decided to follow the seniors' advice to find a quiet, secluded place to eat slowly.
She carefully picked up the plate and found a quiet, secluded spot where she sat cross-legged.
She cautiously put one grape into her mouth.
In an instant.
Suddenly, a powerful force nearly blew off the top of her head!
At this moment, she understood why the seniors had told her to find a quiet place!
In the next instant, she immediately sat up straight and began to breathe and circulate her energy!
Outside in the courtyard, the farmers working occasionally raised their heads to wipe away sweat, taking the opportunity to glance in that direction.
As evening approached, a surge of energy dispersed through the air.
"It seems the young lady has broken through. Not bad talent," Dai Cang said, looking towards that spot from outside.
"Talent doesn't mean much in front of the master. Even those with poor talent can become geniuses using the master's things," Auntie carrying the basket chimed in. "It would be a problem if she hadn't broken through."
"That's true," Dai Cang nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, in the quiet spot, Jiang Zhi slowly opened her eyes.
Beneath her calm expression, her mind was churning with shock.
Others knew these fruits and grapes were powerful.
But only she, at this moment, truly understood just how powerful they were.
She had hit a bottleneck soon after entering the Reincarnation Realm and hadn't broken through for many years.
Once before, when she tried to forcefully break through the bottleneck, she nearly experienced qi deviation.
It took the efforts of her entire clan to save her.
After being saved, she didn't dare to cultivate anymore. If she accidentally got stuck at the bottleneck and experienced qi deviation again, no one would be able to save her.
The reason she could be so hopeful this time was also because of this bottleneck.
And these fruits and grapes directly dissolved her bottleneck and obstacles!
Not only that, but they also dramatically increased her cultivation level.
The speed of her cultivation improvement was astonishing!
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and trembling in her heart.
This time, she had no more doubts.
This place was indeed the great fortune she had calculated using the Celestial Plate!
