Chapter 17: Senior Sister Chen
Three days had flown by in the blink of an eye.
And Liu Shunyi?
Thanks to the Qi Gathering Pills he concocted himself, he had successfully reached the Full Circle of Qi Refinement Twelfth Stage.
His physical refinement level also had hit Full Circle at the Twelfth Stage.
With the fierce techniques of the Thunderbolt Sword and Crazy Thunder Sutra,
Liu Shunyi didn’t even need to bother working on his physical body.
What shocked Liu Shunyi even more was—
Now at just the Twelfth Stage of physical refinement, he possessed a strength of fifty thousand pounds!
As for his genuine qi, it was filled with a domineering thunder essence,
Even carrying a hint of destructive thunder power.
“With this level of strength, I should be able to protect myself! But I still can’t go flaunting it!”
Liu Shunyi mumbled to himself.
However, what was slightly unfortunate was—
Regardless of how many pills he swallowed, his cultivation remained stuck at the Twelfth Stage of Qi Refinement.
His physical refinement stage couldn’t break through either.
“What’s going on here?”
Liu Shunyi scratched his head.
Turns out, without guidance in cultivation,
You really can’t make progress.
In a moment of instinct,
Liu Shunyi suddenly thought of Ji Suying.
But then he shook his head quickly.
“Given my current status and position, it’s best not to be too involved with the Inner Sect. It’s no good for me!”
With that thought,
Liu Shunyi quickly used his hiding technique to conceal his cultivation at the Third Stage of Qi Refinement.
As for his physical refinement level,
It needed no concealment.
That’s because ordinary people couldn’t see it unless he made a move.
As he counted the time,
Today just happened to be the day Ji Suying’s Junior Sister went down the mountain for training.
Liu Shunyi glanced at his storage bag.
Antidote Pills, Qi Recovery Pills, Spirit Recovery Pills, Barrier Breaking Pills…
Looking at the ample supplies,
Liu Shunyi nodded.
Of course, he wasn’t preparing these for himself.
Other than the Qi Recovery Pills that were useful to him,
The rest of the pills were all meant for that Junior Sister during her training.
————
Not long later,
Liu Shunyi arrived at the entrance of Qinglian Sect.
As he reached the gate,
he was left dumbfounded.
He originally thought he would just be handling some ordinary luggage.
After all, cultivators all had storage rings for their gear.
But when he actually saw what he had to carry—
He was completely stunned.
It was nearly like a small mountain!
And what was inside?
Well, a whole mix of ingredients, various meats,
Pots, pans, and seasonings.
Plus some containers for water.
Good heavens!
Was this training or a picnic?
Then there was the Junior Sister who was heading out for training.
She left Liu Shunyi gaping.
He couldn’t tell what she looked like because her entire head was wrapped up,
Only her two eye balls were exposed.
Her figure was great,
But that rolling pair of eyes, combined with that head-wrap look, just seemed so… creepy.
“Are you my attendant?”
That head-wrapped Junior Sister scrutinized Liu Shunyi.
Her gaze radiated dissatisfaction.
“Qi Refinement Third Stage is too high; you need to hide it more!”
Liu Shunyi was a bit confused
But still obediently concealed himself.
“Also, your face looks a bit handsome; going out might draw too much attention!”
While saying this,
the Junior Sister handed Liu Shunyi a black hood.
“Put this on!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
In the end,
Liu Shunyi wore the hood without a word.
Then, obediently hoisted that massive barrel onto his back.
That’s right.
It was a gigantic barrel.
Originally,
Liu Shunyi assumed this Junior Sister would have a bunch of people with her.
But lo and behold, it was just the two of them.
And the path they took?
Man, it couldn’t get any more remote.
As for finding an inn?
Forget about it.
This Junior Sister had it all planned.
She whipped out two shovels.
And there they were, digging…
…
Seven days sped by in a flash.
During those seven days,
Liu Shunyi managed to catch a glimpse of what the Junior Sister really looked like.
Stunningly beautiful.
Plus, when she changed into a long dress,
she had an ethereal, fairy-like aura.
She looked like a celestial maiden from the heavens.
But this fairy?
She was so overly cautious it was almost ridiculous.
“You have to understand, in the cultivation world, a tiny mistake can mean death. To achieve greatness, you must avoid trouble, just hide when you can, and don’t fight over opportunities. If you must fight, be fully prepared!”
Liu Shunyi felt speechless.
“Senior Sister, I’m a Servant Disciple; is there any chance I could be involved in the things you’re talking about?”
Chen Qiaoli shook her head.
“I was once a Servant Disciple too. But one careless move got me caught by Ji Suying and pulled into the Inner Sect. Since you were personally assigned by Ji Suying, you must have outstanding qualities or are perhaps a sly one.”
“I’ll ask you this: Did Ji Suying promise you a spot as an Outer Disciple afterward?”
Liu Shunyi was taken aback.
“How did you know?”
Chen Qiaoli snorted.
“Did you think I didn’t go through that? At first, I was told I’d be protecting her little sister in exchange for my Outer Disciple position. But lo and behold, I was tricked into the Inner Sect before I knew it.”
Liu Shunyi’s face went pale.
Good heavens.
Did Senior Sister Ji really mean to harm me?
Wait a minute.
“Senior Sister Chen, isn’t the Inner Sect a good thing?”
Chen Qiaoli shook her head.
“What’s so great about it? The Inner Sect is filled with freaks; it’s a constant fight of devils amongst devils. If not fighting each other, they’re battling other sects, or being targeted by other sects for a challenge!”
“Fighting those monsters? One slip-up and you could get injured, and if that happens, there’s a risk of infection, which could lead to death!”
“And if you enjoy the benefits of the Inner Sect, you’d be expected to do what an Inner Disciple should, such as this time, we’re supposed to eradicate a demon cult’s lair.”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
At that moment, Liu Shunyi stared at Chen Qiaoli strangely.
“Senior Sister, Heaven King covers Earth Tiger!”
Chen Qiaoli: “???”
“We all need courage; whose song is that?”
Instantly, Chen Qiaoli pulled out a few talismans, swiping them onto Liu Shunyi’s body.
Holding a peach wood sword in hand, she stepped back and eyed Liu Shunyi suspiciously.
“What the heck are you rambling about?”
Liu Shunyi hurried to explain,
“No need to be tense, Senior Sister. This is a code from my hometown, to identify people from my home!”
After confirming multiple times and checking Liu Shunyi thoroughly,
Chen Qiaoli finally relaxed her guard.
“Alright, we’ll be on our way in two days, and we’ll reach Kangzhuang City. That’s where there’s a hidden spot for demon cultivators. Rest up and conserve your energy; we have a lot to do ahead.”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
But he couldn’t help looking at Chen Qiaoli with uncertainty.
“Given Senior Sister’s character, I assume you’ve already regrouped on the demon cultivators hiding in Kangzhuang City.”
Chen Qiaoli nodded.
“I’m well aware, but I still need to confirm it personally, as there might be other unexpected factors. Even the slightest change can lead to uncertainty.”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
