“Shi Changxin’s actions have been exposed. Therefore, both Outer and Inner Sect disciples of Qinglian Sect must descend upon Kangzhuang City to handle the situation. This mission requires everyone’s participation.”

At this moment, Liu Shunyi and Chen Qiaoli had already been escorted onto the flying boat by Ji Suying.

Chen Qiaoli wore an expression as if she were facing certain doom.

As for Liu Shunyi,

Since joining the Qinglian Sect, this was his first time aboard a flying boat, making him feel like a naive newcomer from the countryside.

He couldn’t help but look around curiously,

Especially at the breathtaking scenery of the cultivation world.

It was truly mesmerizing, especially viewed from the flying boat.

A genuine depiction of paradise.

However, swiftly,

Ji Suying used her magical energy to pull Liu Shunyi back.

“Wait until I’ve explained everything you need to know before indulging in sightseeing.”

Liu Shunyi felt slightly embarrassed.

“Um, Senior Sister, this is quite sudden, and I’m not skilled in combat! I don’t even know any Magic Spells.”

Ji Suying chuckled softly and handed Liu Shunyi a waist token.

“From now on, you are an Outer Sect disciple of Hidden Sword Peak, so you will participate in this battle!”

Liu Shunyi’s face turned pale.

“That… Senior Sister, it’s too unexpected, and I really lack combat skills! I haven’t learned any spells yet.”

Ji Suying smiled reassuringly.

“This battle offers substantial merit points. To acquire the Foundation Establishment Item you desire, you’ll need a significant amount of merit points. Participation is entirely voluntary!”

Liu Shunyi was at a loss for words.

He felt completely trapped by this Senior Sister’s demands.

However, obtaining a Foundation Establishment Item…

It was something he had heard about from Chen Qiaoli before.

The most exceptional Foundation Establishment Items were only found within the elite top-tier sects.

And unfortunately,

Qinglian Sect was indeed one of those premier sects.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Liu Shunyi realized that with his impending need for Foundation Establishment, he would have no choice but to showcase some skills, even if reluctantly.

“But Senior Sister, I don’t know any magic spells, and I don’t have…”

Before he could finish, Ji Suying handed him a Storage Bag.

Liu Shunyi opened it to find a wooden sword, a comprehensive book on basic cultivation techniques, and ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Wow!

Despite killing several individuals and plundering their belongings, Liu Shunyi had barely amassed twenty thousand Spirit Stones. Yet now, upon becoming an Outer Sect member, he received ten thousand Spirit Stones instantly.

Wait a moment.

This seems like a higher allowance than what ordinary disciples usually get.

Seeing his confusion, Chen Qiaoli explained, “The stipend for Hidden Sword Peak’s disciples has always been the highest. Becoming an Outer Sect member of Hidden Sword Peak is incredibly fortunate. Senior Sister Ji personally selects all its disciples, ensuring even the Outer Sect members possess remarkable quality and unique strengths.”

As she finished speaking, Chen Qiaoli gave Liu Shunyi a sympathetic look.

Liu Shunyi felt a sudden unease and quietly asked,
“Senior Sister, what’s with that expression?”

Chen Qiaoli whispered back,
“Although being in Hidden Sword Peak’s Outer Sect has better perks than other peaks, if you don’t relentlessly cultivate, you won’t even get a taste of opportunity. Moreover, there’s a monthly disciple assessment. Just surviving it feels like scraping by on half a life; failing means…”

Ji Suying cleared her throat.
“Chen Qiaoli, I recall your assessment is coming up soon. You’ve been quite relaxed during previous ones. Would you like me to increase the difficulty this time?”

Chen Qiaoli promptly fell silent.

Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi sensed he had fallen for a significant deception.

“Uh, Senior Sister, I…” he stammered.

“Hmm?” Before Liu Shunyi could finish, Ji Suying stared sharply at him.

Feeling awkward, Liu Shunyi scratched his head.
“Oh, nothing, never mind!”

Ji Suying nodded, seemingly satisfied.
“Yes, focus well on the upcoming Kangzhuang City operation. Oh, right!”

Ji Suying swiftly produced another concealment technique.

“Here, take this one instead. Your current concealment method is riddled with flaws.”

Liu Shunyi beamed with delight.

“Many thanks, Senior Sister!”

Ji Suying nodded approvingly.

Next, she provided Liu Shunyi and Chen Beiping with detailed information about Kangzhuang City, instructing them to thoroughly study it.

After examining the material closely, Liu Shunyi suddenly realized there wasn’t much need for concern. The text mentioned that Blood Puppets could affect mental states and even manipulate minds, but he felt these threats didn’t apply directly to him.

His primary worry was whether Chen Beiping or Shi Changxin would withstand the onslaught.

Moreover, if combat truly ensued, he knew better than to let his adrenaline cloud his judgment and rush recklessly as cannon fodder.

As for merit points, it seemed quite straightforward. He planned to target severely wounded enemies, delivering finishing blows, which would automatically record the merit points on his sect token – a perfect strategy.

Now, what piqued Liu Shunyi’s interest even more was the complete set of Foundation Cultivation Techniques.

For three whole days, Liu Shunyi diligently practiced these magical techniques.

It’s worth mentioning that these spells were simply mind-blowingly incredible.

Among the offensive spells: Fireball Technique, Water Bullet Technique, Windblade Technique, Thunder Palm, Wood Thorn Spell, Ice Blade Spell… The list went on and on.

In addition to these, there were various escape techniques and some utility-type spells for daily life.

After mastering these spells, Liu Shunyi finally felt like a true immortal being.

With a ball of red flame in his left hand and a sphere of lightning in his right!

“Heh heh!” Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but chuckle gleefully.

He proceeded to cast each spell multiple times within his room, thoroughly enjoying himself like a child who had discovered endless fun.

What brought Liu Shunyi immense reassurance was the concealment method given by Ji Suying.

Having learned this technique, not only could Liu Shunyi hide his cultivation base, but he could also conceal the very use of the concealment method itself.

“Woah, this concealment method is seriously badass,” Liu Shunyi marveled inwardly.

Even more subtly, he began to suspect that Senior Sister Ji might be far more extraordinary than meets the eye.

Moreover, if Senior Sister Ji possesses such a concealment method,

Just how advanced is Senior Sister Ji’s true cultivation base? Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but rub his head.

“The cultivation world is filled with sneaky individuals!”

Nevertheless, it didn’t matter at this moment.

Liu Shunyi promptly retrieved the wooden sword Magic Artifact from his Storage Bag and began to cast the Imperial Sword Technique.

As he invoked the technique, the wooden sword wobbled unsteadily before floating in front of him.

Liu Shunyi swallowed nervously.

He maneuvered the wooden sword beneath his feet.

Then, stepping onto it, his body swayed slightly.

“This feels somewhat like skiing, yet different. In skiing, you control balance and movement with your body, whereas controlling a sword, you maintain balance physically while using your mind to propel forward – essentially, through Divine Consciousness, requiring magical energy expenditure!”

Within his room, Liu Shunyi practiced some simple ascending and descending movements, gradually gaining familiarity with moving forwards and backwards.

Feeling reasonably comfortable, he stored the wooden sword back into his Storage Bag.

There was no choice; they were currently on a flying boat, making it impractical to attempt actual flight training.

“Rumble…”

At that precise moment,

the flying boat shook.

Immediately after, a voice echoed:

“All passengers, assemble!”
