Chapter 7: Danger
Liu Shunyi was buzzing with excitement.
Honestly speaking, doing labor indeed paid well.
At this rate, he could earn thirty points per day for food.
Plus, he could save up a hundred.
In just a month, he’d be able to access the Cangjing Pavilion.
As for which techniques to choose, Liu Shunyi already had it all planned out.
He wanted something that could be dangerous to his own body but had immense power.
Or something that consumed blood essence, lifespan, or even… well, you get the point.
As long as his enemies died, he would ultimately become invincible!
Heh.
Thinking about this, Liu Shunyi chuckled.
At that moment, he was filled with hope for the future.
Especially looking at the Qinglian Sect, which felt almost like a paradise now—everything seemed so familiar.
It was as if the misery of being poor had vanished, replaced by a bank card with unlimited money. He felt confident.
Now all he needed to do was plan out how to improve his cultivation and enjoy the scenery of the cultivation world.
But before that, he needed to just blend in as an extra in this world.
No showing off.
That was the rule in the cultivation world.
After all, there are plenty of schemers in the realm.
The only downside was…
The speed at which he was making money was still too slow.
———
After finishing dinner, Liu Shunyi hesitated.
“Now, I’m not afraid of any negativity, and my body is as strong as a Qi Refinement Fifth Stage cultivator. Shouldn’t I take on some sect’s bounty tasks?”
Liu Shunyi thought about it.
Ultimately, he negated that idea.
Because even though he could leverage the cultivation talents of his enemies, his spiritual root remained a messy mixed root.
His cultivation level was still only Qi Refinement Second Stage.
Bounty tasks required at least Qi Refinement Fourth Stage to complete.
If he managed to pull off a bounty task, it would only raise suspicion.
“Why would a Qi Refinement Second Stage nobody be able to complete a bounty task?”
Wouldn’t that just scream, “I’m different from everyone else?”
If that were the case, he would face some old geezers trying to kill him or capture him for research.
Even though his cheat was pretty powerful, he currently didn’t have any ability to protect himself.
Another worry was—
He didn’t have enough enemies right now.
Not having enough enemies wasn’t a comfy thought.
Realizing this sent a shiver down Liu Shunyi’s spine.
“I never thought I’d worry about not having enough enemies one day!”
Liu Shunyi rubbed his temples.
But.
While he couldn’t take on bounty tasks,
he could still handle the work of a servant disciple.
With his enemies absorbing negativity, he could totally grind like crazy for twenty-four hours.
Looking at the ridiculously green name “Zhang Junbao,” Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but laugh.
“You little punk, if you want to take me out, I’ll just make sure to drain you dry!”
With that thought, Liu Shunyi headed straight to the task hall.
Without further ado, he took every job a servant disciple could handle.
Then he activated “mad mode.”
……
……
The next morning,
Zhang Junbao was supposed to meet up with Zhang Erhu to report on their recent undercover activities in the Qinglian Sect.
But instead, he witnessed his brother’s death firsthand.
Although Zhang Erhu was killed by Senior Sister Ji,
Zhang Junbao wouldn’t dare take revenge on her.
Instead, he redirected that rage toward Liu Shunyi.
“If it weren’t for that servant, my brother wouldn’t have died! It’s all that servant’s fault!”
Zhang Junbao spat angrily.
To relieve his pent-up hatred, he had planned to torment Liu Shunyi today.
After all, who would care if a servant disappeared?
Servants in the sect were treated just like livestock.
So, Zhang Junbao hid early in Liu Shunyi’s room,
even preparing ropes and whips…
But what Zhang Junbao didn’t expect was that Liu Shunyi didn’t show up today.
“Huh? What’s going on? Did he find me out? That can’t be, right?”
After waiting until late at night and not seeing Liu Shunyi, Zhang Junbao felt a bit exasperated.
Just as he was about to search for Liu Shunyi,
a wave of fatigue washed over him.
Zhang Junbao frowned.
“What’s going on?”
He felt completely bewildered.
However, being a Qi Refinement Eighth Stage cultivator, this fatigue was just minor.
He simply needed to run his technique to wipe away the fatigue.
But unexpectedly,
after a round of cultivation, that fatigue persisted.
Although it didn’t severely impact him, it was still annoying.
If it wasn’t dispersed, it would leave him feeling uncomfortable.
And dispersing it…
Thus, Zhang Junbao could only sit down and meditate.
Then he ended up throwing up.
No matter how he tried to disperse that fatigue, he couldn’t fully eliminate it.
Even worse, that fatigue began to interfere with his mood.
No, to be precise,
he was now feeling irritable and nauseated.
Little master, there’s more in this chapter. Please click the next page to continue reading, it’s going to get even more exciting!
“What the heck is going on?”
Zhang Junbao began to cultivate like crazy.
……
……
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi was also astonished.
No matter how hard he worked, that name “Zhang Junbao” continued to shine bright green.
That brightness wasn’t fading at all.
“Wow, this enemy is something else!”
Yet at the same time, Liu Shunyi also recognized that
Zhang Junbao was definitely not someone he could deal with now.
However, Liu Shunyi wasn’t scared,
because as long as that name appeared on the Golden Roll of Great Dao, he wouldn’t be dying anytime soon.
In fact, Liu Shunyi began to wonder
what would happen if his Golden Roll flipped to the page with Zhang Junbao’s name, and then Zhang Junbao hit him?
Ultimately, Liu Shunyi shook his head.
This kind of thing was better left untested.
As long as he still needed Zhang Junbao and didn’t have the absolute power to take him out, he shouldn’t be trying that.
Of course,
the fact that Zhang Junbao’s name remained consistently bright only made Liu Shunyi work even harder.
All the servant disciple tasks in his hands began to clear out rapidly.
By the time dawn broke the next morning,
Liu Shunyi was totally excited.
Because throughout that night,
he racked up over five hundred points.
“Holy cow, at this speed, I’ll be able to access the Cangjing Pavilion in less than five days!”
Liu Shunyi was beyond thrilled.
But wait.
He wasn’t tired at all.
Damn it.
Time to take on more servant tasks.
Thinking this, Liu Shunyi rushed back to the servant disciple task area.
The overseer was a bit dumbfounded.
“I remember you took ten servant tasks yesterday and finished them all?”
Liu Shunyi respectfully bowed.
“Yep, that’s right! I used to be a farmer, so I’m pretty strong and capable of getting these chores done easily!”
The overseer didn’t dig any deeper.
After all, Liu Shunyi was taking on physical work.
If someone finished a heap of manual labor in a single night, it wasn’t that surprising.
But this Liu Shunyi name felt oddly familiar!
Suddenly, the overseer remembered there was a specific task yesterday, and the designated person was none other than Liu Shunyi.
