Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 7

Liu Shunyi was now brimming with excitement.

To be honest,

this manual labor indeed pays handsomely.

At this rate,

with thirty merit points for a day’s meal expense,

he could save around one hundred daily.

In just a month – merely one month –

he would be able to enter the Scripture Pavilion.

As for which Magic Spell to choose, Liu Shunyi had already decided:

Something highly damaging to his body but immensely powerful.

Or spells that consume vital essence, lifespan, or even… well, anything really.

As long as it ensures his enemies’ demise,

his path to invincibility is assured!

Heh heh.

With these thoughts, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but smile.

His future suddenly seemed full of promise.

Even gazing upon the Green Lotus Sect, akin to a celestial paradise, felt somewhat endearing.

It was akin to transitioning from abject poverty to suddenly possessing a bank card with unlimited funds, instilling newfound confidence.

Now, all he needed to do was plan carefully for enhancing his cultivation base and fully appreciating the sights of the cultivation world.

However, before diving into those ambitions,

he must remain inconspicuous, blending in as an ordinary passerby.

Avoiding any ostentatious displays is crucial in the cultivation realm.

After all,

the cultivation world teems with cunning individuals.

The only downside at present?

Earning merit points still feels too slow.

***

After finishing his meal, Liu Shunyi felt somewhat uncertain.

“Now, I’m no longer afraid of any negative effects. Moreover, my body’s strength is equivalent to that of a cultivator at Body Refinement Fifth Layer. Shouldn’t I consider accepting some sect bounty missions?”

Liu Shunyi pondered for a moment but ultimately dismissed the idea.

While he could leverage enemies’ cultivation talents, his own spirit root remained a Mixed Spirit Root, and his cultivation realm was still at Qi Refining Second Layer.

Sect bounty missions typically require at least Qi Refining Fourth Layer to complete.

If he were to successfully finish such tasks, it would inevitably raise suspicions.

Why should a mere Qi Refining Second Layer cultivator be capable of completing bounty missions? Doesn’t this imply that there’s something distinctly different about me?

Such attention could lead to assassination attempts by old schemers or even being captured for research.

Although his cheat was formidable,

However, at present, Liu Shunyi lacked any means to protect himself.

Moreover, he didn’t have enough enemies yet.

Without sufficient adversaries, he felt genuinely uneasy.

As this thought crossed his mind, Liu Shunyi’s expression turned peculiarly mixed.

“Never did I imagine there would be a day when I’d worry about not having enough enemies!” He rubbed his temples, feeling conflicted.

Although he couldn’t accept bounty missions,

he could still perform tasks suitable for servant disciples.

With enemies bearing the negative consequences, he could relentlessly grind around the clock.

Gazing at Zhang Junbao’s name, now extremely green, Liu Shunyi smiled wryly.

“You sneaky bastard, if you want me dead, then prepare to face my relentless onslaught.”

With that thought, Liu Shunyi headed straight to the Mission Hall.

Without wasting any time, he accepted every task available to servant disciples. Then, he unleashed his mad grinding mode.

***

Early in the morning.

Zhang Junbao planned to meet with Zhang Erhu to report on his undercover mission within the Green Lotus Sect.

However, instead…

He witnessed his brother’s death firsthand.

Although Zhang Erhu was killed by Senior Sister Ji,

He dared not seek revenge against her.

Instead, he redirected his hatred towards Liu Shunyi.

“If it weren’t for that servant, my brother wouldn’t have died. It’s all that servant’s fault,” Zhang Junbao seethed angrily.

To alleviate his vengeance,

he had prepared today to thoroughly torment Liu Shunyi.

After all,

a servant’s death would go unnoticed.

No one would care.

Servants in the sect were often treated like beasts.

Thus,

Zhang Junbao hid early in Liu Shunyi’s room,

armed with ropes, whips, and other implements…

What Zhang Junbao did not anticipate was that

Liu Shunyi never showed up today.

“Hmm? What’s going on? Did he discover me? But how could that be possible?”

As Zhang Junbao waited deep into the night, he grew increasingly perplexed.

Liu Shunyi simply didn’t show up.

Zhang Junbao decided to go find him.

Suddenly, however, a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

He furrowed his brow.

“What’s happening?”

Feeling somewhat bewildered, yet as a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, the fatigue affecting his mortal body could typically be dispelled by merely circulating his Cultivation Technique.

With a single rotation, all weariness and drowsiness would vanish instantly.

Unexpectedly, despite running his technique, the exhaustion persisted.

While it didn’t significantly impair him, it was quite unsettling. If not dispelled, it would become uncomfortable.

But attempting to dissipate it…

In that moment, Zhang Junbao had no choice but to sit down cross-legged and focus on cultivation.

Soon after, Zhang Junbao retched.

No matter how hard he tried to alleviate the fatigue, he couldn’t completely eradicate it. The exhaustion even began to affect his mood negatively.

No, more accurately,

he felt increasingly irritated and nauseous.

To be precise,

he felt irritable and nauseous, quite uncomfortable.

“What the hell is going on?”

Zhang Junbao began to furiously cultivate.

***

Liu Shunyi was equally stunned.

No matter how frantically he worked, Zhang Junbao’s name remained persistently green, its glow undiminished.

“Wow, this rival has some serious skills!”

However, Liu Shunyi also realized that at his current level, he couldn’t possibly contend with Zhang Junbao.

Despite this, Liu Shunyi wasn’t afraid.

As long as someone’s name appeared in the Grand Dao Golden Book, they were invulnerable to death.

In fact, Liu Shunyi pondered:

What would happen if I flipped to Zhang Junbao’s page in my Grand Dao Golden Book and then let him strike me?

Ultimately, he shook his head.

Such experiments were best avoided.

Considering he still needed Zhang Junbao and lacked the absolute power to defeat him, attempting such maneuvers was not advisable.

Of course, seeing Zhang Junbao’s name remain unchangingly bright only fueled Liu Shunyi’s frenzy.

He began rapidly clearing servant disciple tasks, driving their count swiftly towards zero.

The next morning, Liu Shunyi was utterly thrilled.

During the night, he had earned over five hundred merit points.

“Wow, at this rate, I’ll be able to enter the Scripture Pavilion within five days!”

Liu Shunyi was ecstatic.

Wait a moment.

Feeling wide awake with no signs of fatigue,

Damn it.

He decided to continue accepting servant tasks.

With that thought, Liu Shunyi headed back to the Servant Disciple Task Office.

The Steward there seemed bewildered.

“I remember you took ten servant tasks yesterday. Have you completed them all?”

Liu Shunyi respectfully bowed.

“Yes, indeed! Before joining here, I was a seasoned farmer with excellent stamina and physical strength. These odd jobs come naturally to me!”

The task steward didn’t question it further.

After all, Liu Shunyi’s tasks were primarily labor-intensive. If he worked efficiently, completing them in one night wasn’t implausible.

However, the name ‘Liu Shunyi’ sounded somewhat familiar!

Suddenly, the task steward recalled that there was a designated task assigned to someone named… Liu Shunyi, just yesterday.
