"n should be confident, don’t let your senior sister lose face."
Glancing at the young man, although unyielding, she said to herself: "If you can’t make it to the top ten, you’ll have to pick sothing yourself to exchange, I can’t lose face over this."
She directly threw the Qiankun Bag to Jiang Feng.
Stunned, looking at the lightweight cloth bag in his hand, he was no longer the cultivation novice he once was, even just one thing from this Qiankun Bag... no, a whole city could not afford it.
The aning of his senior sister was simply to leave a way out for him; if he couldn’t make it into the top ten, he should privately contact the person who obtained the Heavenly Clarity and Serenity True Technique and exchange it with his senior sister’s treasure.
His heart ward. This inadvertently revealed care was sothing he had never enjoyed in his previous ten or so years, and it was why he considered Liu Tangxi as family.
She would hit you, scold you, and reprimand you if you did not do well, but her capability to truly teach when one had a problem, she genuinely cared.
Taking the initiative, not avoiding the prohibition of physical contact between n and won, he carefully retied the Qiankun Bag to his senior sister’s belt.
"Top ten, huh? Speaking of which, senior sister, hidden weapons are allowed in the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition, right?"
He imdiately saw through Jiang Feng’s calculation.
She knew her junior brother had stored so interesting magical weapons, which was why Jiang Feng always visited Chi Xiao Peak; so techniques could only be crafted by the elder brothers there, but the clever Liu Tangxi knew what her junior brother was making.
I wonder if you rember that rainy night he desperately tried to assassinate Wang Qi and Mr. Xue. If I’m not mistaken, it probably has sothing to do with the firearms used that ti.
"Of course, they can be used. Otherwise, what would those disciples who specialize in short blades, golden needles, or flying knives do? The magical weapons have diverse forms; there will be no restrictions on that, rest assured. However, let state beforehand, it’s an internal competition, and you must stop at the right point."
"Every match will be overseen by a protector or an elder. It’s quite obvious whether soone is intentionally inflicting a lethal blow or accidentally injuring soone. If soone makes a fatal move and unfortunately causes harm to a fellow disciple, they will have their cultivation disabled and be left to fend for themselves in the back mountains."
"But you shouldn’t worry too much about this rule. Given your realm, if you really fight furiously and try to kill, those protectors and elders aren’t just there for show; they can resolve it easily."
"Generally speaking, as long as it’s not too overboard, there won’t be any penalties if you stop when asked to, so go ahead and fight with ease."
He touched his chin, a bit prickly, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Very good, very good."
"Now you’re confident, speaking of which, junior brother, if you encounter soone unbeatable, it’s fine to lose, but make sure it looks good. Don’t let soone beat you to a pulp and then have to carry you back ho."
The woman smiled gently.
Junior brother always holds a high moral line on certain permitted matters. In her eyes, Jiang Feng is not perfect, but he excels, because this young man never lets her down.
His only flaws might be that he’s too attractive to won and perhaps that his pride is a bit too strong.
"You just relax. If I et soone I can’t beat, I’ll kneel and beg for rcy right away."
"Whatever you like, just don’t say you’re a disciple of Swordmaster Peak..."
Flicking her hair, the brother and sister had not seen each other for over half a year. Once they t, they had plenty to talk about, ranging from matchmaking to the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition, from everyday family matters to experiences while traveling outside, and even so witty banter, giving a feeling sowhat like ’the joy of a marriage renewed after a brief separation.’
They chatted in the house for a long ti, until Jiang Feng noticed the movent at the door and realized it was already late evening, with Su Yi waiting at the door for them to go out for dinner.
Logically speaking, after reaching the Core Formation Stage, the need for food greatly decreases. Although it’s not possible to completely abstain from eating, having a al every seven or eight days is quite manageable. If one is settled down ditating, even not eating for several months is fine.
However, drinking and eating are considered basic instincts. Even soone as powerful as Liu Tangxi would choose to dine whenever there’s an opportunity, rather than just relying on absorbing Spiritual Energy to sate hunger. Though after entering her body it would be instantly refined, what she enjoys is the pleasure of taste.
Most cultivators are actually the sa—first they are human, then they beco celestial.
In the deep night, Swordmaster Peak was deserted, with limbs... limbs sprawled out on the bed revealing a trace of fatigue.
After half a year of living outdoors and improving KPIs, intense pursuits, capturing criminals, and engaging in battles, he truly desired a good rest now.
The task introduced by Yan Fengchun wasn’t urgent; this ti it was to eliminate a Demon General who had infiltrated into the territory of Purple Cloud Palace, possessing formidable strength. Judging by the cultivation of the Human Clan, it was a legitimate top-grade Core Formation.
In fact, Purple Cloud Palace’s attitude towards the ordinary Demon Race wasn’t so strict; it was rather open. Many sect disciples were from the Demon Race, including pure ones who had cultivated in human form and hybrids. However, the Demon General who infiltrated the Purple Cloud Palace territory was not a peaceable person.
Long ago, he had actively participated in wars and was notorious for taking away the entire city’s populace as food after the wars, belonging to a faction completely opposed to the Central Plains. His record was indeed disgraceful.
Now having sneaked into the central region of the Central Plains, regardless of his intentions, the threat had to be eliminated. Lying in bed, his mind was entirely focused on this operation since he had learned a lot from his last experiences.
So...
He planned to go with four people.
The mory of being brutally trounced by a peak Core Formation expert last ti was still vivid. Even now, when he had reached the middle-grade Core Formation and Jiang Feng had successfully ford his Golden Core, the idea of those two brothers confronting a peak Core Formation cultivator still daunted them.
Especially those who had been stuck at the peak of Core Formation for many years, possessing rich combat experience and profound foundations, felt like fighting a heavyweight on a punching ter. The ter’s maximum might show 500 pounds, but that doesn’t an that’s the limit.
"He’s gotten smart, this kid. Last ti we nearly got killed; this ti not only did he invite Lu Luo, but he also plans to gather another mid-Core Formation buddy."
"Even if a peak Core Formation can fight fiercely, four people should be enough to handle him, right? At the very least, nothing bad should happen, especially since Sister Lu Luo has also been getting increasingly powerful."
Normally, a top-grade Core Formation master could effortlessly handle two mid-grade Core Formation cultivators. But cultivation isn’t as simple as just adding numbers; the more people involved, the greater the pressure naturally becos.
It’s not that Yan Fengchun didn’t want to call more fellow sect mbers to join the battle, but the problem is that in the whole sect, even counting the outer disciples, those who had exceeded the Core Formation stage were just about in the thousands, nearly three thousand.
Though it sounds like a lot, three thousand people, calling even a dozen or so fellow sect mbers to easily handle it sounds almost certain, but...
Don’t forget how large this Central Plains area is.
Basically, every region has an appointed steward from Purple Cloud Palace, even a remote small town like Qingshui County is managed by a Core Formation expert, and major cities of a province or a nation are overseen by Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation stage stewards.
There are plenty of Foundation Establishnt outer disciples, but most of them are mainly responsible for intelligence and resource gathering. It’s almost impossible for them to engage with opposing forces in combat directly.
Thus, tasks like maintaining order, exterminating demons, and eradicating evil typically fall to disciples above Core Formation stage. While three thousand may sound like a lot in practice, only about a thousand are usually stationed within the sect and nearby areas, with many dispatched elsewhere.
These thousand or so are responsible for maintaining order in at least several thousand li around the core area of the Purple Cloud Palace. Whenever any evil spirits act up, disciples are dispatched imdiately, which is why too many can’t be called.
Oh, there’s also the matter of compensation and performance points; four people sharing seems just about right.
All his thoughts were about the conversation with his senior sister today and the matter of coaxing the girl in Country Liang. However, just as his head hit the pillow, a pair of soft hands suddenly wrapped around from behind his neck.
A cold little knife instantly pressed against his throat!
