Chapter 54: Lian Qi Liu Chong Tian!

"Outer Sect Disciples must complete one sect quest per month, with no need to do daily quests."

"If you fail to complete it, sect contribution will be deducted; when sect contribution goes negative, you easily incur punishment."

"Of course, our Yushou Peak treats new disciples fairly well — each person has 100 points of Initial Contribution, which you can use to exchange for resources, or for our Yushou Peak's exclusive Cultivation Method Secret Manuals."

"If you feel some things in the sect are a bit expensive, you can also go to Yu Fang City at the foot of Yunwu Mountain Range; there are Loose Cultivator stalls there where you can buy cheap things."

"Besides that there are some other matters to note — for example, do not conflict with Inner Sect Disciples, or you will suffer for it, and also"

The Elder of Affairs explained some rules for Outer Sect Disciples; Yu Changsheng and the others listened with constant nods, committing these words to heart.

"Alright, this old man will now take you to see the residences." The Elder of Affairs took out three keys and led the three toward the mountainside.

"Outer Sect District Yi — this is your key, it has a number on it."

A key was handed to Yu Changsheng.

"Many thanks, Elder." Yu Changsheng took the key and arrived at the courtyard belonging to him.

The courtyard was built against the mountain; the environment was much better than the Outer Peak of the Outer Disciples — one person per large courtyard, no need to share with other disciples.

Moreover, this entire area had Spirit Gathering Arrays; Qi was abundant — one day of cultivation here absolutely equaled three or four days on the Outer Peak.

Yu Changsheng entered the room, activated the built-in Defensive Array, and only then walked out of the tense mood from the selection, letting out a breath of relief.

To tell the truth, he had imagined many dangers; the aura of death amid the beast swarm's pursuit had lingered behind him; fortunately the selection ended in time, otherwise he would have had to pull out the Scatter Demon Yuan Pills from his Hundred Treasures Bag and fight desperately.

He took out a Scatter Demon Yuan Pill, stared at it, and recalled that day's words at First Grade Medicine Hall.

"Was it coincidence, or is someone targeting me?"

"Surname Duan. Another day I'll inquire about it."

A glint flashed in Yu Changsheng's eyes; he felt Wang Qizheng's appearance was a premeditated assassination, because when the two met, the other's expression had already explained everything.

But he considered that he had never provoked any cultivator surnamed Duan — who exactly was pulling strings in the dark?

"A bit of persecution complex again; let's set this aside for now — I'm already an Outer Sect Disciple, as long as I don't leave the sect, there generally won't be danger."

"If someone really wants to scheme against me, sooner or later they'll show their fox tail."

Yu Changsheng put away the Scatter Demon Yuan Pill.

This pill is very effective against First Rank Demonic Beasts, but against Second Rank Demon Beasts it takes over ten minutes to take effect; as long as a Beast Tamer keeps mental guard, it's very hard to be hit by it.

He also hadn't expected Wang Qizheng to have this thing at the start; otherwise when it was thrown, he would have used the Absolute Wind Fan to fan it away.

"Now Essence has returned to before it would be released, but the harvest from Fireball Technique is huge — this power is already enough in the Qi Refining Period; right now I should add a bit of Refining Spirit Art to let daily cultivation speed increase."

"And the Divine Sense Attack Spells inside Yushou Peak also need Essence; I have to start saving."

Yu Changsheng took out several Hundred Treasures Bags, then categorized the pills inside, using up all that were usable.

Those Outer Disciples didn't have many things on them — all junk; not a single one was as wealthy as him.

The only highlight was Wang Qizheng's Hundred Treasures Bag — swallowed by the Chi She Wang and spat out again — inside was the Body Technique he needed most: Shadow Flash.

"As I suspected, this Body Technique isn't Wanxiang Sect's, but belongs to some assassin organization in the Outside World — let me see, Anliu Organization."

Yu Changsheng took out a Token from the Hundred Treasures Bag; on it was a 'Kill' character, on the back a number: Ding Character Building, number 3,200.

He had heard of this assassin organization, but didn't know much — because their main area of activity is the border between Qingzhou and Wuzhou.

"Heard this kind of assassin all operate without real names — they only recognize the Token, not identity; also don't know how much contribution Wang Qizheng had saved up."

As long as he finds Anliu Organization's underground Division in Yu Fang City, Wang Qizheng's contribution would be equivalent to being handed to Yu Changsheng for free.

"As for this Shadow Flash, it only has First Layer — break through Qi Refining first." Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm, Chi She Wang and the Iron Eagle King had eaten many cultivators, already pushing Yu Changsheng's realm to the Gate; he only needed to quietly cultivate and break through.

"Come out." Yu Changsheng formed a Hand Seal, summoning Chi She Wang and the Iron Eagle King.

The Iron Eagle King's condition had recovered — just its head was still a bit dizzy; seeing its Master, it gave a listless cry.

Chi She Wang, on the other hand, was full of spirit, holding its head high like a victor, just short of saying outright: Master, hurry up and praise me.

Yu Changsheng smiled and fed each a Gathering Qi Pill and an Enhancing Spirit Pill.

【You successfully fed an Iron Eagle King, consumed Gathering Qi Pill*1, gained reward 12 Essence, trace Mana】

【You successfully fed a Chi She Wang, consumed Enhancing Spirit Pill*1, gained reward 48 Essence, trace Mana】

The Essence rewards obtained decreased a bit again, and trace Mana wasn't as good as before either.

Fortunately, with these pills down, it was already enough.

Yu Changsheng closed his eyes and sat cross-legged; Mana gathered in his dantian, assaulting that small realm's Bottleneck; in one sustained push, he broke through successfully very quickly.

"Lian Qi Liu Chong Tian!"

Yu Changsheng's complexion was ruddy; he tested his Mana — it had increased by about two-tenths, and quality had also improved.

Compared to peers, his cultivation speed was already faster than even a True Spirit Root — terrifying.

Breakthrough complete; after consolidating a bit, Yu Changsheng began cultivating Shadow Flash.

This Body Technique requires leg work; ordinary people need at least several months to gain Entry, while he only needs to circulate once according to the Secret Manual.

【You learned Shadow Flash, allocate points?】

"Allocate!"

In a single thought, Yu Changsheng's leg muscles underwent obvious change; Mana circulation in his meridians became faster.

【Name: Yu Changsheng】

【Realm: Lian Qi Liu Chong Tian】

【Constitution: Spirit Beast Affinity】

【Cultivation Method: Changchun Gong Familiarity (5/10000) Refining Spirit Art Mastery (205/100000) Beast Taming Art Familiarity (32/10000) Three-Fire Refinement Alchemy Familiarity (1822/10000)】

【Spells: Fireball Technique Small Success (1/100000), Wind Travel Technique Mastery (55/10000), Wood Shield Technique Mastery (68/10000), Shadow Flash Familiarity (1/1000), Rainmaking Technique Entry (10/100)】

【Skills: First Rank Spirit Plant (5/1000) Second Rank Alchemy (652/50000)】

【Spirit Pets: Chi She Wang, Iron Eagle King】

【Remaining Essence: 520】

Yu Zhangsheng directly allocated points to Shadow Flash until it reached Familiarity, instantly gaining a great deal of operational Knowledge.

"With my magical power, I should be able to use it a dozen or so times."

"But each use requires an interval of one breath, and the range does not Exceed twenty meters; although it's a bit short, it's still very practical."

"At Least at a critical moment it can dodge fatal harm."

Yu Zhangsheng tried it once, directly flashing from inside the room to the courtyard, and a Smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

With this Body Technique and his Divine Sense, who could still touch him?
