Chapter 36: Filthy Things
Liu Shunyi directly handed over the Blood Puppet Master’s storage bag to Ji Suying.
Ji Suying was momentarily taken aback.
“Aren’t you afraid that I really want to get my hands on your storage bag?”
Liu Shunyi shook his head.
“Senior Sister, you’re joking. As the Big Senior Sister of Cangjian Peak, what haven’t you seen? Even if that Blood Puppet Master’s stuff is decent, I reckon you wouldn’t even bat an eye at it.”
Ji Suying smiled.
“That’s true!”
She opened the storage bag and began rummaging through it.
After a lot of digging around, she finally found a small box.
However, she didn’t open it.
She simply took the little box out and placed everything else in another storage bag, which she then handed to Liu Shunyi.
Liu Shunyi quickly caught it.
“Are you curious why I went through all this trouble?”
Liu Shunyi shook his head. “Not curious!”
Ji Suying took a deep breath.
“You say you’re not curious!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
Fine.
This Senior Sister’s old habit is back again.
Liu Shunyi had no choice but to pretend to be puzzled.
“Senior Sister, I am genuinely curious—why go through all this trouble?”
Ji Suying nodded in satisfaction.
“Because I just got news that even though the Blood Puppet Master is dead and gone, his storage bag contains something filthy that the Heavenly God Sect wants to retrieve.”
“So, having the Blood Puppet Master’s storage bag on you is quite unsafe!”
Liu Shunyi instantly understood.
But then, he quickly bowed and thanked her.
“Thank you, Senior Sister!”
Ji Suying sighed.
“Even though I took the Blood Puppet Master’s storage bag, I still can’t guarantee that the Heavenly God Sect won’t try to kill you, so stay alert.”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“Thank you for the warning, Senior Sister. I’ll remember.”
Ji Suying looked at Liu Shunyi with some confusion.
“Why do I feel like you’re not worried at all?”
Liu Shunyi froze for a moment.
Then he quickly shook his head.
“No, no, no! I only seem calm on the outside; inside, I’m actually very anxious right now!”
Ji Suying shook her head.
“You don’t need to worry too much. No matter how rampant the Heavenly God Sect is, they wouldn’t dare cause chaos in the Qinglian Sect’s territory. Just be cautious when you go to the Skyfire Secret Realm—it’s still possible that there are one or two peak Foundation Establishment practitioners entering there.”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
“I got it. But, Senior Sister, what exactly is in that little box?”
He kept glancing at Ji Suying, who was still staring at the little box.
Curiosity was eating him up.
Ji Suying’s expression was calm.
“It’s a kind of evil energy. Anyone touched by it will develop wicked thoughts and turn into a murderous monster.”
“Of course, this thing also has a terrifying aspect—it can grow rapidly by feeding off people’s dark thoughts.”
“Because of this, this item is a treasure for some demonic or evil cultivators!”
As she spoke, Ji Suying placed several seals on the small box.
Once she finished sealing it, she put the box back in the Blood Puppet Master’s storage bag.
“Alright, all done. Let’s go!”
Liu Shunyi nodded and followed Ji Suying toward the Qinglian Sect.
However, while walking, Ji Suying kept playing around, spinning the storage bag in her hand like it was a toy.
……
……
Shi Changxin had been observing Liu Shunyi and Ji Suying.
But when they came out together, Shi Changxin was left dumbfounded.
“That storage bag is now in Ji Suying’s hands!”
The crow on Shi Changxin’s shoulder nodded.
“I saw that!”
Shi Changxin glanced back at the crow.
“So, are we still going to kill Liu Shunyi?”
The crow fell silent.
After a moment, it finally spoke.
“Yes, we still must kill him. We can’t be sure if that thing is really in Ji Suying’s hands. Besides, he’s just a Qi Refinement ant—killing him is no big deal!”
Shi Changxin nodded.
“What about Ji Suying, though?”
The crow fell silent again.
Liu Shunyi was nothing to worry about.
But Ji Suying was a different story.
The Big Senior Sister of Cangjian Peak had an unfathomable level of cultivation.
From what the crow had seen, most of Ji Suying’s battles seemed to end with just one sword—there was never a second one.
On the surface, she was just at the Golden Core stage, but in reality, no one knew what her true realm was.
The crow pondered for quite a while.
In the end, it said, “Let’s take care of that Liu Shunyi ant first. If the thing isn’t with him, then we can think about Ji Suying.”
Shi Changxin rolled his eyes.
“Killing Liu Shunyi is one thing, but how reliable are you guys? What if you can’t stop the elders of Qinglian Sect when the time comes?”
The crow got a bit annoyed.
“Don’t worry, this matter is totally foolproof!”
Shi Changxin nodded.
“So what about the cultivation method I’m using? I’ve been feeling drained lately and even experiencing some discomfort!”
The crow was puzzled. “???”
What kind of discomfort is that?
Shi Changxin explained his situation in detail.
The crow listened and fell into deep thought.
Time passed, and finally…
“Honestly, I’ve never heard of anything like your situation before. I… uh… I’m having a hard time evaluating it!”
Shi Changxin grew anxious.
“I can’t go on like this! Is there any way to solve it?”
The crow shook its head.
“Not at the moment, but let me look into it!”
With that, the crow took off into the sky.
Shi Changxin glowered at the direction the crow flew away.
“D*mn Heavenly God Sect, you’re the ones who caused all this!”
Shi Changxin regretted getting involved with this shady business.
Now, his foundation felt a bit shaky.
But now that he had taken the wrong turn, there was no going back.
He had no choice but to pretend to be a beggar again, lying on the street.
……
……
A month went by in the blink of an eye.
In this month, Liu Shunyi enjoyed a pretty cozy life.
He had no chores.
No outer disciples bothering him.
And he even had all he needed prepared for Foundation Establishment.
At one point, he was so relaxed that he even took out the Mixed Yuan Pearl.
His mind raced with thoughts.
“If I really explode and die, would my body be able to hold out for three seconds?”
Thinking of this made Liu Shunyi quite nervous.
“No way! I need to prepare for the worst. Even if I have a golden finger now, that three seconds still depends on me to bear!”
With that in mind, Liu Shunyi began refining top-tier healing pills.
He held nothing back when it came to himself.
He decided to make them as perfect as possible.
In the end, he prepared over ten healing pills radiating a beautiful glow for himself.
Just after he finished refining the pills, Ji Suying came looking for him.
“Shunyi, it’s time to set off for the secret realm!”
Liu Shunyi quickly gathered his things.
“Got it! I’ll be right there!”
