Chapter 23: The Outer Disciples of Cangjian Peak
“Shi Changxin’s actions have been exposed, so this time both Outer Disciples and Inner Disciples of Qinglian Sect need to descend the mountain to clean up all of Kangzhuang City. Therefore, you all must participate in this mission.”
At this moment, Liu Shunyi and Chen Qiaoli had already been brought aboard the flying ship by Ji Suying.
Chen Qiaoli had an expression that screamed, “I want to die.”
As for Liu Shunyi, it was the first time he had ever ridden a flying ship since joining Qinglian Sect, making him feel like a country bumpkin.
He was wide-eyed, taking in the view.
Especially the scenery of the cultivation world.
It was breathtakingly beautiful.
Especially from the perspective of standing on the flying ship.
It truly felt like a fairy realm.
But soon enough,
Liu Shunyi was yanked back by Ji Suying using her mana.
“Wait until I finish explaining what you need to pay attention to before you go back to admiring the scenery.”
Liu Shunyi felt a little embarrassed.
“Uh, I’m just a servant disciple, and my work as a servant disciple is to collect corpses!”
Ji Suying chuckled.
She directly handed Liu Shunyi a waist badge.
“From now on, you are an Outer Disciple of Cangjian Peak, so you’ll be fighting too!”
Liu Shunyi’s face turned pale.
“Uh, Elder Sister, this is so sudden! Plus, I’m not good at fighting! I don’t even know any spells!”
Ji Suying smiled.
“This battle will yield a lot of sect contribution points, and if you want to exchange for Foundation Establishment materials, you’ll need those contribution points. Whether you want to contribute or not is entirely up to you!”
Liu Shunyi was speechless.
He felt like he was completely under Ji Suying’s thumb.
But about the Foundation Establishment materials,
He had also heard Chen Qiaoli mention before that the best Foundation Establishment materials could only be found in the top sects.
And guess what?
Qinglian Sect is one of those top sects.
Liu Shunyi felt a bit hopeless.
Seeing that he needed Foundation Establishment materials,
He really had to show off some of his skills.
“But Elder Sister, I don’t know any spells!”
Before he could finish his sentence,
Ji Suying handed Liu Shunyi a storage bag.
Liu Shunyi opened it and took a look.
A wooden sword, a complete basic cultivation spellbook, and ten thousand spirit stones.
Holy cow.
Even after killing several people and looting everything they had, he barely got twenty thousand spirit stones.
Now, as an Outer Disciple, he instantly got ten thousand spirit stones.
Not to mention,
These spirit stones seemed higher quality than what ordinary disciples got.
At that moment, Chen Qiaoli came over to explain.
“The salary of Cangjian Peak disciples has always been the highest. To be chosen as an Outer Disciple of Cangjian Peak is incredibly fortunate, as Ji Suying personally selects the disciples here. Even as Outer Disciples, their quality is exceptionally strong, each one having unique abilities.”
Having said that,
Chen Qiaoli looked at Liu Shunyi with a hint of pity.
Liu Shunyi’s heart skipped a beat.
Then he quietly asked.
“Sister, what’s with that expression?”
Chen Qiaoli whispered,
“Although the treatment of Outer Disciples in Cangjian Peak is better than other peaks, if you don’t work hard on your cultivation, you won’t even get a sip of soup. Plus, there’s a discipleship assessment every month. If you pass, you might come out with half a life left; if you don’t pass…”
Ji Suying cleared her throat.
“Chen Qiaoli, I remember your assessment is coming up soon, right? You’ve been doing quite well in the last few, but how about I raise the difficulty a bit this time?”
Chen Qiaoli quickly shut her mouth.
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi felt like he had walked into a big pit.
“Uh, Elder Sister, I…”
“Hmm?”
Before Liu Shunyi could finish,
Ji Suying suddenly glared at him.
Liu Shunyi awkwardly scratched his head.
“Never mind, never mind!”
Ji Suying nodded in satisfaction.
“Okay, for this cleanup of Kangzhuang City, do your best. Oh!”
Having said that,
Ji Suying took out a new concealment spell.
“This is for you; your previous concealment spell had too many loopholes.”
Liu Shunyi was overjoyed.
“Thank you, Elder Sister!”
Ji Suying nodded.
After that, she provided Liu Shunyi and Chen Qiaoli with detailed information about the situation in Kangzhuang City.
She told them to study it carefully.
After Liu Shunyi studied it for a bit,
He suddenly felt there wasn’t much to research.
What it mentioned about those blood puppets that could affect spirits and even manipulate minds—
Well, he didn’t seem to have to worry about those things.
The only thing he needed to be concerned about was whether Chen Beiping or that Shi Changxin could hold their own.
Besides,
If it really came down to a fight,
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to run in and be a cannon fodder.
As for contribution points?
That’s simple.
He would just find some heavily injured people to finish off, and the sect’s token would automatically record the contribution points.
Perfectly executed.
And right now, what Liu Shunyi was even more interested in was—
The complete basic cultivation spellbook.
————
For three whole days,
Liu Shunyi was practicing the technical spells.
I have to say.
These spells were unbelievably powerful.
Attack spells like Fireball, Water Bullet, Wind Blade, Palm Thunder, Wood Spike, Ice Blade…
So many options.
Moreover, there were various escape techniques and even some life-related spells.
After learning these spells,
Liu Shunyi finally felt like he’s actually a celestial being.
Left hand with a ball of red flame, right hand with a thunderball!
“Hehe!”
Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but chuckle.
He even experimented with various spells in his room.
He was having a blast.
Having the blissful charm of a child at heart.
And what reassured Liu Shunyi the most was still the concealment spell Ji Suying gave him.
After mastering that concealment technique, Liu Shunyi could hide not just his cultivation level but even the concealment technique itself.
“Wow, this concealment spell is just too awesome.”
Liu Shunyi was shocked.
He even vaguely felt that Ji Suying seemed to be more than meets the eye.
And also,
Since Ji Suying had this concealment spell,
What was her actual cultivation level like?
Liu Shunyi rubbed his head.
“The cultivation world really has a lot of slick characters!”
But none of this mattered.
At that moment, Liu Shunyi took out that wooden sword from his storage bag.
He then began practicing the Sword Controlling Technique.
Once he executed the Sword Controlling Technique, he watched as the wooden sword wobbled and floated before him.
Liu Shunyi swallowed hard.
He controlled the wooden sword to fly under his feet.
Then Liu Shunyi stood on it.
His posture was a bit unsteady.
“This feeling is somewhat like skiing, but a little different. Skiing uses body balance, then moves forward; while controlling the sword, it’s about balancing with the body while directing with the mind, which is through divine sense and consumes mana too!”
After merely doing some up-and-down motions in the room, moving back and forth for a while,
He felt he was about familiar enough with it.
He withdrew the wooden sword back into his storage bag.
No way.
They were currently flying on a ship.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to try sword flight right now.
“Rumble…”
At that moment,
The flying ship shook.
Then a voice echoed,
“Everyone, assemble!”
