Mortal Mage

"Don't say any more. Strength is everything. I have the highest level of cultivation and I am the first wife, so that's the order."

Shi Manman put away the jade sword that was on Zhang Mingxuan's neck and looked at Hua Yu. "You slept with my husband, and you don't want to fulfill your obligations as a Taoist partner. It's better to say that you have no shame than to say that you have a lot of tricks."

"No, I was poisoned by rosemary."

Hua Yu glared at Shi Manman fiercely; "Besides, I was here first..."

"You know whether you are poisoned or not."

Shi Manman tossed the wolf skull with runes inscribed on it in her other hand and moved the jade sword towards Hua Yu. "From now on, all of my husband's magic weapons must pass through my hands first. Do you understand?"

"Oh"

Hua Yu responded very reluctantly.

"Go back and teach your Sword Sect's Dust Wind Sword Technique to your husband."

"How can that be possible? Dust Wind Sword Art is a high-level technique of the sect. If you teach it to others privately, your cultivation will be abolished and you will be expelled from the sect."

"Except for menial disciples, it is a taboo for inner and outer disciples of all major sects to take a casual cultivator as their master. Don't tell me that you, an inner disciple of the Sword Sect, don't know this."

Shi Manman glared at Hua Yu with a sneer on her face.

"So what? You followed the rules of Xianyuan Sect, but you couldn't even find a technique with the attribute of golden wind. Besides, it's an open secret that disciples from various major sects secretly worship casual cultivators and learn other techniques."

"As you said, either you pass on the skills to your husband, or you do the same as me!"

Shi Manman swung the jade sword in her hand suddenly and stabbed it into the corner of the wall with a "swish" sound. "Abandon all your skills and leave the sect."

Without any hesitation, she stretched out her right hand and suddenly exerted force to cover the top of her head. A destructive force rushed into her body. Her face suddenly turned pale. She cried out in pain, and her expression became ferocious again. "From today on, I, Shi Manman, am no longer a disciple of Xianyuan Sect."

She pulled off the sect token from her waist and held it in her hand. As a surge of spiritual power flowed in, she exerted a little force and the sect token turned into starlight and dissipated.

"This……"

Zhang Mingxuan stared at the crazy woman nervously. He wanted to support her but was afraid of provoking her innocently, so he could only walk lightly to Hua Yu's side.

He had just solemnly declared the status and rights he should enjoy as a man, and told about his experiences in Canglang Continent. At this time, Manman suddenly came to greet him with a sword in hand.

"Good Master, even if she abandons her skills, I still can't beat her..."

Hua Yu grabbed Zhang Mingxuan's wrist and moved in front of her to block Shi Manman.

"Disciple, you must protect your master."

Zhang Mingxuan wanted to find a sense of security next to Hua Yu, but Hua Yu pushed him in front of him. He could only bite the bullet and persuade Shi Manman awkwardly, "Fairy, don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil. Calm down first."

"Stand still!"

Shi Manman covered her chest and shouted at Zhang Mingxuan with a ferocious face; "You were once the king of a country and repaired the teleportation array, but you are timid and have no long-term ambition. How can you call your Taoist partner a master and a disciple!" She grabbed Zhang Mingxuan's collar with strength from nowhere and pulled him in front of her, shouting about her life experience; "My father's cultivation was not high, but he was still the hope of the family's revival, but he lost his cultivation unexpectedly, causing his status in the family to decline sharply. My mother hoped that I would shoulder the heavy responsibility, but she died early, so I was bullied as a child. Although I have a superior golden wind spiritual root and am fortunate to enter the Xianyuan Sect, I don't like refining weapons and prefer swordsmanship. Therefore, I am often excluded and neglected by the elders in the sect. The responsibility for the recent fall of Zhoucheng must be attributed to me. The result of this incident will also make it impossible for me to rise in the Xianyuan Sect!"

As she spoke, she burst into tears. Seeing Zhang Mingxuan's expression at the moment, she seemed to recall her childhood self a thousand years ago. "I risked my life to practice Xianlan Sword Technique for a hundred years, and at the same time, I did everything I could to improve my cultivation. However, such great efforts were rarely recognized and supported. They only cared about my talent for refining weapons, not my preferences. For nearly a hundred years, I had been looking forward to having mixed spiritual roots. Although mixed spiritual roots are slow to cultivate, you can learn whatever you want without any worries."

She slowly loosened Zhang Mingxuan's collar, stared at his dull expression, turned around and wiped the tears from her face, as if she was venting the depression that had been pent up in her heart for thousands of years; "I was determined to revive the family, but was still regarded as an alien. I was going to die, but thanks to your help, the spiritual power that had been suppressed in my body for thousands of years was drained out. I have no worries for the rest of my life, so I gave up my efforts in swordsmanship for thousands of years, voluntarily withdrew from the sect, and formed a casual cultivation partner with you."

She turned around suddenly, glared at Zhang Mingxuan again, and continued to scold him in a choked voice; "You are a useless spiritual root of the twelfth line. Although you have extraordinary attainments in formations, your cultivation is slow. Moreover, you are an eighteen-year-old boy, how can you fight against those elite people in the sect who have lived for thousands of years."

She squinted at Hua Yu, her lips almost touching Zhang Mingxuan's face; "Even if you are lucky enough to enter the sect, you will definitely become a stepping stone for others."

She grabbed Zhang Ming's collar again and said, "Spiritual energy does not need spiritual veins. If you can set up a teleportation array, you can directly introduce the spiritual energy of Cuiyun Continent into Canglang Continent through the teleportation array without much trouble. So you should repair the teleportation array as soon as possible. You have a useless spiritual root, so it doesn't matter if you miss ten or eight years of cultivation."

Zhang Mingxuan's expression went through fear, surprise, daze, and finally shock.

If he waits until he reaches the Golden Core Stage, it will be difficult to break through even in a thousand years, let alone a hundred years. By then, the Canglang Continent will no longer exist.

"Give me the teleportation array diagram."

Shi Manman stretched out her white fingers towards Zhang Mingxuan.

Zhang Mingxuan shook his head slightly.

How can you just take this thing out unless it is absolutely necessary?

The teleportation array diagram was something he obtained after spending more than half a year in Canglang, working day and night and performing a large number of precise calculations. He also had a high probability of guessing why there were flying boats in the Cuiyun Fairyland. It was probably that the people in this fairyland were also unable to set up a teleportation array.

If there is a teleportation array, why go through all the trouble of building a flying boat?

Before Canglang rescued him, there was no way he would just take out the teleportation array diagram.

"I see."

Shi Manman's cold eyes seemed to understand Zhang Mingxuan's thoughts. She raised her slender left hand, stretched out three fingers to the sky, and swore, "As your Taoist partner, Zhang Mingxuan, I, Shi Manman, will do my best to protect your kingdom from being invaded by anyone. I am willing to help you create a peaceful world, make you famous in the world, and create a peerless business in Taicang. I will stand in the same boat with you, and we will coexist with the wind and clouds and the world!"

She put down her white fingers and stared at Zhang Mingxuan.
