After calming her excitement, she opened the system store and navigated to the technique section, specifically filtering for Earth-element abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze first landed on the lowest tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[E-Rank Techniques: Earth Element]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was fixed, 500 Luck Points each. Although it wasn’t cheap, but still affordable given her current savings of points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as she began scrolling... her expression slowly became very peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soil Plowing Technique...\" she read aloud softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Used to loosen soil for agricultural purposes.

I can already do that without cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled slowly, resisting the urge to close the entire interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the E-rank techniques were... ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They may be practical in daily life for some people. But in combat? They were barely worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, not all of them were useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes paused slightly as she found one that seemed somewhat decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dust Veil Technique—creates a brief cloud of dust to obscure enemy vision...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...At least this one can be used properly,\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was simple, in the right situation, it could still be effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept scrolling, her patience thinning with every absurd technique she encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Would someone actually spend luck points on these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone carried clear disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, she gave up on expecting too much from E-rank and moved her attention upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[D-Rank Techniques: Earth Element]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price jumped to 2000 Luck Points for each technique.

Her understanding of earth-element manipulation deepened instantly, as if she had practised for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled slowly. Then, a faint smile appeared on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand slightly, feeling the faint connection to the earth beneath her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can finally call myself a proper cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excitement bubbled up before she could suppress it. \"Hell yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Yang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden voice cut through her jovial moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi turned her head and saw Zhang Xulin rushing toward her, her expression unusually serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Xulin?\" Yang Qingxi frowned slightly. \"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Yang, did you watch the news?\" Zhang Xulin asked hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi relaxed slightly upon hearing that. She waved her hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s about last night’s party, I’m not interested. I could guess what everyone’s talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" Zhang Xulin shook her head quickly. \"That’s also on the news, but that’s not what I mean.\" Her tone turned heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiangnan Prison was breached this morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi’s posture changed instantly. She sat up straight, her eyes narrowing. \"Who escaped?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind immediately moved to one possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although as the protagonist she had expected him to escape the prison, it was never this early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long has it been? In just over a week, he is already out? As expected of someone blessed by heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Xulin’s next words made her expression freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the prisoners escaped,\" she said. \"A few were found dead inside their cells. All the guards on night duty were killed. Even the Chief Jailer... is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\" Yang Qingxi stood up abruptly. This was no longer just a plot development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was... excessive brutality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pupils contracted slightly, her thoughts racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a simple jailbreak but a complete massacre. How did things become so extreme?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Ye Chen showing her true self now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! We have to find out where he is!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice turned low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Su Mo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xulin blinked, confused by the sudden question. However, she answered. \"Umm, he should still be sleeping...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake him up—\" Yang Qingxi started, then stopped herself mid-sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go there myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were sharp and decisive. As she stepped forward, her figure flickered slightly; it was an unconscious use of the Body Flicker Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xulin stared for a moment, surprised, but didn’t stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qingxi barely noticed what she had done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was already elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image of the bar murder incident surfaced briefly.
