Chapter 58: Anxiety
Liu Shunyi also didn’t expect this.
His Blood Demon Scripture had mutated directly under his hands.
Previously, the Blood Demon Scripture only absorbed others’ blood to enhance his own physical body.
But after a hell-bent training, his version of the Blood Demon Scripture could not only absorb blood but even refine and absorb flesh to enhance his physical strength.
And on top of that, it could also absorb others’ lifespans to boost his cultivation.
What’s more shocking was the speed at which he could absorb lifespans to enhance his strength.
It was even faster than medicinal pills!
“This really is a technique the heavens won’t allow!”
Liu Shunyi felt a sense of panic brewing as he trained.
What scared him even more was when he saw that only Shi Changxin’s name remained on the Great Dao Golden Scroll—his heart dropped like a hot potato.
“What the hell, it can’t be that everyone else has died already? I’ve only been cultivating for a short while!”
And the most confusing part for Liu Shunyi was, if Naira Bujiu died during his training, that could be understood.
But how did Chen Beiping kick the bucket?
Did he just drop dead out of nowhere?
This thought made Liu Shunyi sigh deeply.
“Sure enough, in the world of cultivation, no one is a protagonist, and no one can guarantee they will rise to the top!”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had to hang on.
But here’s the dilemma.
He had no enemies left at the moment.
And that made him feel somewhat melancholic.
No good, can’t just sit here and wait to die.
He absolutely had to come up with a way to create some enemies.
As the saying goes, it’s easy to be a bad guy if you want to be one.
……
……
Liu Shunyi was setting his puppet in the secluded cultivation room.
Taking advantage of the night, he snuck out of the Qinglian Sect.
Actually, when he stepped out, he already had his target set.
Jing Shui City!
The reason for choosing this place?
It’s because this city belongs to the black market of the cultivation world.
If he wanted someone to kill him, he really didn’t have to do much.
All he needed to do was disrupt the rules, and someone would want him dead.
Anyone wanting to kill him would surely be on the wanted list.
Of course.
Liu Shunyi wasn’t just looking for any old person to make an enemy of.
The reason he came to the black market of Jing Shui City was that the folks selling things here were all about murder and treasure hunting, even using all sorts of dirty tricks to get their goods.
On the surface, what they got their hands on was naturally unsellable.
So, they had to come to the black market.
Liu Shunyi switched faces and donned a mask.
Then he strolled into Jing Shui City like he owned the place.
However, just as he entered the city gate, he was stopped by two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Friend, the rules!”
As they spoke, the two directly reached out.
Liu Shunyi: “???”
Rules?
What rules?
Right off the bat wanting money?
Liu Shunyi lowered his voice.
“I’m broke!”
The two guards shot him icy glares.
“Do you think we’re blind? There’s no way you don’t have at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in that storage bag of yours!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
At that moment, he noticed his name finally appeared on the Great Dao Golden Scroll.
“Jing Shui City Guard (Top-tier Blue)”
Not what?
What does this even mean?
The name?
Where’s the name?
And why the heck was the Jing Shui City guard a top-tier blue?
Liu Shunyi felt like something was off.
Thinking for a moment, he took a dagger and secretly jabbed his thigh.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Both guards screamed in unison.
Blood started flowing from their thighs.
“You dare to move?!”
The one guard glared at Liu Shunyi in rage.
Liu Shunyi quickly waved his hands.
“I didn’t! But I’m the most rule-abiding person out here!”
He hurriedly handed over some cash.
Each guard had their hands full of spirit stones.
The two guards were a bit perplexed.
Was it really him who just attacked?
But that didn’t matter anymore.
Immediately, the guards communicated telepathically.
“Brothers, heads up! We’ve got ourselves a cash cow over here, with at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones!”
Upon hearing this, the guards of Jing Shui City went into a frenzy.
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi was still a bit dumbfounded.
Because on the Great Dao Golden Scroll,
The name of the Jing Shui City Guards changed from top-tier blue to low-tier purple.
Liu Shunyi suddenly fell into deep thought.
“An upgrade in color means there are more and more people wanting to kill me? Even though these folks don’t even get names on the scroll, their numbers look pretty considerable!”
He glanced at his storage bag and couldn’t help but chuckle.
Though he did this on purpose,
He never expected it to work as a fishing method!
With that thought, Liu Shunyi switched to a different storage bag, even bumping the spirit stones up to around a million.
The restrictions weren’t strong.
A little probing could reveal what was inside.
Sure enough.
After switching storage bags, the Great Dao Golden Scroll altered once more.
“Jing Shui City Guard (Purple Super)”
“Jing Shui City Imperial Guard (Pink Beginner)”

Liu Shunyi felt a chill down his spine.
This Jing Shui City really was a place that eats people without spitting bones.
Even the Imperial Guard wanted to swallow his wealth.
However.
Liu Shunyi was still not satisfied.
Because even if these people were many,
They didn’t even merit a name on the scroll.
That was not what Liu Shunyi wanted.
He continued deeper into Jing Shui City.
With all this cash, he walked openly.
The colors of the Jing Shui City Guards remained unchanged.
Instead, the color for the Jing Shui City Imperial Guard finally changed to Pink Super.
Though there were plenty of people wanting to kill him,
Liu Shunyi felt completely unperturbed.
Since these folks couldn’t take him down,
And now, he wasn’t even Liu Shunyi anymore.
So, he could act a bit bolder.
Unfortunately.
None of the stall owners seemed to have any names.
Liu Shunyi found it puzzling.
Did these people not want to make money?
Aren’t they supposed to be ruthless scoundrels?
Why was everyone so calm?
After strolling around some more,
Liu Shunyi finally couldn’t hold it anymore.
He casually squatted in front of an old man’s stall.
“Don’t you have any thoughts about me?”
The old man had a strange expression.
“Ahem, old man, I don’t swing that way!”
Liu Shunyi: “???”
What in the world are you talking about?
“I meant, don’t you feel tempted seeing how rich I am?”
The old man finally came to his senses and quickly shook his head.
“Anyone with sense wouldn’t think of taking from you!”
Liu Shunyi was bewildered.
“What do you mean?”
The old man sighed.
“Isn’t it obvious you’re just fishing? In the cultivation world, the rule is ‘wealth should be kept hidden,’ even a child understands that. Since you’re deliberately flaunting your wealth, aren’t you just inviting others to ambush you and then strike back in a black market initiative?”
“To be honest, we’ve all done that before!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
He didn’t get it.
Shouldn’t the enemies in novels all be brainless?
Why is it that in his case, they’re all so perceptive?
Liu Shunyi, feeling defeated, stashed his storage bag back.
After thinking for a bit, Liu Shunyi took something at random from the old man’s stall and walked off without paying.
The old man fell into silence!
