Shi Changxin’s concerns were valid.

Given his current state,

forget about facing one or two Golden Cores,

even confronting half a Golden Core would be problematic.

Naturally,

when this issue first arose,

Shi Changxin hastily consumed blood pills

and then utilized the Devil Refining Technique to replenish his vital energy and blood.

However, the more he tried to supplement himself, the faster his vital energy burned away.

Terrified, Shi Changxin dared not continue using the Devil Refining Technique anymore.

As a result, his foundation now felt somewhat unstable.

The parrot remained silent for a long moment,

still sensing something amiss.

“I’ve double-checked, and your condition indeed has nothing to do with us. Have you recently offended anyone?”

Shi Changxin was momentarily speechless.

“Does the Qinglian Sect count?”

The parrot fell silent again.

Shi Changxin’s situation was truly peculiar.

Yet, such strangeness could not originate from the Qinglian Sect.

Of course, if the Qinglian Sect possessed such capabilities,

If so, how could Shi Changxin still be alive?

The parrot shook its head.

“Fine, considering your predicament has been caused by external factors, the lord will overlook this incident for now!”

“However, there’s a disciple named Liu Shunyi from Qinglian Sect who possesses something belonging to the blood puppet master. It’s unlikely that Liu Shunyi would reveal it to others. Find a way to kill him and reclaim what rightfully belongs to us!”

“This is also your chance to atone for your sins!”

Shi Changxin seethed with anger.

“Atonement for my sins?! I was once a perfectly content City Lord, living peacefully until you bastards ruined everything. Now, because of your meddling, I’m afflicted, yet instead of resolving my issue, you want me to do your bidding? Absolutely not!”

Shi Changxin glared icily at the parrot.

“I’ll make this clear today: if I don’t receive a satisfactory outcome, forget working for you; I’ll even expose all your secrets!”

The parrot scoffed coldly.

“Shi Changxin, you’re merely a dispensable pawn. The lord using you is already a favor; without him, what significance would you hold? I advise you to remember your place!”

With these words,

a wave of oppressive energy descended.

Instantly, Shi Changxin’s body was pinned against the limestone slab by this overwhelming force.

“Hmph, remember your task! Within one month, I expect results!” exclaimed the parrot before disappearing abruptly.

Shi Changxin struggled to his feet, his eyes icy cold.

“You son of a bitch! If you won’t let me live peacefully, then I’ll… puahh, aaagh…”

Shi Changxin writhed on the ground in agony.

It felt as though countless needles were piercing through his veins, constantly wriggling within them. The sensation was akin to being subjected to death by a thousand cuts.

“I’ll do it, I swear I will! I definitely will comply!” Shi Changxin pleaded for mercy.

Moments later, the excruciating feeling subsided.

Drenched in sweat, Shi Changxin lay on the now-cracked limestone, staring blankly at the sky.

Three days swiftly passed.

Now, Liu Shunyi donned the attire of an Outer Sect disciple.

Standing at the entrance to Hidden Sword Peak as a gatekeeper, his life seemed remarkably leisurely.

Of course, few within the Qinglian Sect knew about Liu Shunyi’s impressive display of power outside Kangzhuang City. No one bothered to spread that tale.

However, his sudden promotion from servant to Outer Sect did cause quite a stir among the Servants Courtyard.

Liu Shunyi still vividly recalled the envious looks from fellow servant disciples when he moved his belongings.

What they didn’t know was that Liu Shunyi harbored some regret.

Upon joining the Outer Sect, he quickly realized it was far more ruthless than being a mere servant.

In the Outer Sect:

If your strength is lacking,

You’re exploited until there’s nothing left to squeeze.

One misstep, and you risk getting beaten up by other Outer Sect members.

Becoming their punching bag or venting target.

This was the harsh reality for Outer Sect disciples with inferior aptitude and weak cultivation bases.

Sometimes, even worse,

One misstep, and you could disappear.

As for finding good people within the Outer Sect? Fat chance!

In this cultivation realm, there’s no simple distinction between pure good or evil.

The one with greater strength holds the power to speak, and whoever possesses superior might is deemed just in their actions.

Indeed, Liu Shunyi, with his mediocre aptitude and Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation, found himself immediately targeted and assigned to gatekeeping duties.

His fellow junior brother, though showing no visible signs of distress, was well-known to Liu Shunyi. He had recently endured a brutal beating and was likely pushing through it now.

Liu Shunyi sighed deeply. “There seems little difference between being an Outer Sect disciple and a servant, sometimes even worse!”

The junior disciple glanced at Liu Shunyi before lowering his head without responding.

Feeling bored, Liu Shunyi reflected on how Hidden Sword Peak indeed saw very few visitors. Standing guard here all day felt like a sheer waste of time.

“Brother, I see they bully you daily. Doesn’t Hidden Sword Peak intervene in such matters?”

The junior disciple remained silent.

Liu Shunyi felt helpless.

Alright, he’s quite reserved indeed.

No wonder he gets bullied so often.

Out of kindness,

Liu Shunyi took out a healing Medicine Pill and tossed it to the disciple.

“As fellow sect members, consider this a gift!”

The disciple hesitated momentarily, clutching the porcelain bottle with uncertainty written on his face.

Ah, seems like he has strong pride.

Liu Shunyi smiled.

“Consider it a loan; you can repay me someday!”

Finally, the disciple sighed and bowed towards Liu Shunyi.

“Many thanks, Junior Brother! I will surely return the favor tenfold in the future!”

Liu Shunyi waved his hand dismissively.

“Hurry and hide it away, lest someone else sees and causes trouble for you!”

The disciple nodded but remained silent once again.

Liu Shunyi was left speechless.

Wow, you sure know how to keep quiet.

Yet, this guy seemed perfectly content enduring silence.

It was Liu Shunyi who couldn’t bear it anymore.

If every day were spent guarding this gate,

when would he find time to search for that Foundation Establishment Item?

And as for not having guard duty?!

That was wishful thinking.

Liu Shunyi had already been stationed at the gate for three days and nights.

Feeling deeply troubled,

yet for the sake of Qinglian Sect’s Foundation Establishment Item,

he had no choice but to endure.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

On this day, a heavy snowfall blanketed Qinglian Sect.

Liu Shunyi and his unfortunate gatekeeping brother stood at the entrance of Hidden Sword Peak.

While Liu Shunyi was roasting game meat, his brother remained steadfast, resembling a stone statue.

As the mountain chicken finished cooking, Liu Shunyi tore off one leg and handed it to his gatekeeping companion without hesitation.

His friend didn’t pause either; even if he initially resisted, Liu Shunyi would insist on sharing every day.

Today, not only did they have food but also wine.

The wine, naturally, was brewed by Liu Shunyi himself.

The entrance to Hidden Sword Peak appeared desolate, yet Liu Shunyi and his gatekeeping brother enjoyed their feast while sipping wine.

Taking in the picturesque scenery below, they found it added a unique charm to their experience.

“Brother, despite enduring such hardships, you still refuse to leave. Why is that?”

The gatekeeping brother pondered for a moment before finally responding, “For her!”

Following his gaze, Liu Shunyi noticed a strikingly beautiful loli ascending from below.

Though she looked young, her figure was quite impressive.

“Tsk tsk.”

Liu Shunyi nodded appreciatively. “You’re truly devoted! And liking lolis, wow, so now we…”

Before Liu Shunyi could finish, his gatekeeping brother hastily shook his head again.

“No, I meant Senior Sister Ji!”
