Chapter 65: Aren’t You Going to Hide a Little?
Time passed again, and Qinglian Sect was quite peaceful.
The catastrophic disaster everyone imagined never arrived.
However, those who went to deal with the Heavenly God Sect never showed up.
But slowly, Qinglian Sect returned to its usual state.
Within the sect, everyone was fulfilling their roles.
In fact, even outside the sect, a new batch of servant disciples was recruited.
Moreover, in recent days, the number of disciples entering Qinglian Sect had multiplied beyond imagination.
Liu Shunyi stood atop the mountain, looking at the sea of people below, feeling a bit sentimental.
But at the same time, Liu Shunyi was also a little troubled.
His cultivation was becoming a bit difficult to restrain.
Now, just a moment of inattention could trigger the heavenly tribulation and condense his Golden Core.
“I can’t take it anymore; I need to find a place to break through to Golden Core,” Liu Shunyi thought to himself.
However, he also realized another issue.
That is, what was happening outside right now?
What stage had the great battle reached?
He had no idea.
“This won’t do!” Liu Shunyi suddenly felt.
Could he perhaps use another identity to create a group specifically for gathering intelligence?
On one hand, it would let him know the happenings outside.
On the other hand, it would help him identify who in the cultivation world was particularly dangerous and had high cultivation.
Liu Shunyi thought this idea was feasible.
But the problem was, he needed to find someone trustworthy.
However, it seemed this notion was still a bit impractical at the moment.
“Boom~!”
Just when Liu Shunyi was lost in his thoughts, he almost couldn’t suppress his cultivation.
The sky suddenly darkened.
“No, given the current situation, I need to find a place to break through to Golden Core first!”
With that thought in mind, Liu Shunyi prepared to return to his retreat.
Coincidentally, just as Liu Shunyi returned, Ye Yan also came over.
“Brother Liu, are you about to go into retreat?”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
At that moment, Ye Yan looked around at the people and then suddenly asked quietly, “Brother Liu, do you have any pills for nourishing the soul?”
Liu Shunyi paused for a moment. “Not currently, but I can refine some.”
As he said that, Liu Shunyi looked Ye Yan up and down. “You seem to be fine!”
Ye Yan waved his hand. “It’s not for me; it’s for my master.”
Then Ye Yan explained about the jade pendant and the old man inside.
After listening, Liu Shunyi looked at Ye Yan with a slightly speechless expression.
The old man inside the jade pendant was also looking at Ye Yan in shock.
“You, aren’t you going to hide it a little? Just making up some excuse or something?” Liu Shunyi asked Ye Yan.
The old man inside the jade pendant also looked confusedly at Ye Yan.
Ye Yan chuckled. “I trust Brother Liu, and my gut tells me you’re a trustworthy person!”
The old man in the pendant fell silent.
Liu Shunyi was also quiet for a bit.
But he finally said, “This is something that only you and I should know. Don’t mention it to anyone else.”
Ye Yan nodded. “I’ll only tell you; I’m not stupid!”
Liu Shunyi nodded and then looked at the jade pendant. “Old Deng, since we’re all family now, why don’t you come out and breathe a little?”
After a moment of silence, a soul with an ethereal presence emerged from the pendant.
Liu Shunyi was a bit shocked upon seeing this soul. “Why does your remnant soul feel like it’s been refined by someone?”
The remnant soul sighed. “I encountered the wrong people.”
Liu Shunyi thought about the brother who was guarding the gate before and shook his head. Indeed, that little weirdo was quite outrageous.
“Wait a minute!” Liu Shunyi said, before directly stepping into the alchemy room.
In less than half an incense stick’s time, Liu Shunyi emerged holding a pill.
“Here you go!”
The remnant soul was left dumbfounded. “This is indeed a Soul Nourishing Pill, but to refine such a pill requires a lot of soul energy. How did you manage that?”
Liu Shunyi extended his hand, revealing a blue flame.
“You, are you crazy? Burning soul energy to refine pills for me?”
Liu Shunyi chuckled. “It’s no big deal!”
Ye Yan suddenly felt a bit guilty. “Brother, dear brother, if I had known that’s how you make Soul Nourishing Pills, I wouldn’t have bothered you.”
Liu Shunyi waved his hand. “No worries!”
“Oh, right, brother, I came to give you something this time!”
After saying this, Ye Yan quickly pulled out a mini gourd.
“What is this?”
Liu Shunyi took the small gourd and examined it carefully.
Ye Yan explained, “This is a family heirloom of mine. They say there’s a world inside, but I can’t confirm if it’s true. However, it has a huge space and can hold almost anything.”
Liu Shunyi was instantly taken aback. “I can’t accept this!”
Ye Yan quickly waved his hands. “Brother, you’ve saved my life twice, and you saved my master once too. I have nothing of value to give, so this is all I have. Don’t decline it; if you do, I won’t come back!”
After thinking for a moment, Liu Shunyi sighed. “Alright, I’ll keep it for you. If you change your mind, you can always come take it back!”
Ye Yan was delighted.
Looking at how sincerely Ye Yan treated him like a family member, Liu Shunyi pulled out a book.
It was written in small seal script.
People in this world wouldn’t be able to read it anyway. It was called “Guide to Cultivation Through Dimensions.”
Liu Shunyi handed the book to Ye Yan. “This is something I left for the people from my hometown. If you happen to meet someone from my hometown in the future, and they have good character, you can give this book to them.”
Ye Yan solemnly accepted the book. “Understood. But what characteristic does someone from your hometown have?”
Liu Shunyi scratched his head. “Characteristics?”
After organizing his thoughts, Liu Shunyi continued, “It’s hard to say, but there is one obvious trait: if they look like me, pay attention to their eyes. Their eyes definitely have a pureness compared to others in the cultivation world!”
Ye Yan couldn’t help but stare at his reflection in a mirror.
He looked at his own eyes and then at Liu Shunyi’s.
Both of them fell into a silence.
“So, in a way, we could be family?” Ye Yan asked uncertainly.
Liu Shunyi shook his head. “Not quite. How should I put this?”
Suddenly, Liu Shunyi drew a picture.
On it, there was a big star with four small stars around it.
“If someone sees this image, takes it very seriously, and makes a piece of jewelry out of it,” Liu Shunyi said while making a salute gesture, “then that would be my family.”
Ye Yan nodded. “Got it, but is this method reliable?”
Liu Shunyi chuckled. “Very reliable! You might not know, but if someone from my hometown sees such a drawing floating around, it would be quite explosive.”
Ye Yan agreed. “Understood! I’ll keep an eye out!”
Liu Shunyi explained, “No need to overthink it. I just feel like you might be the chosen one, and you’re a good person. If you achieve something in the future, this is just me securing a future for my fellow townsfolk!”
Ye Yan laughed heartily. “Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, your countrymen will be my countrymen!”
“But brother, why do I feel like you’re wrapping things up like it’s the end?”
Liu Shunyi shook his head. “I’m going into seclusion for a while.”
