(TN: 10 Chapters in 3 days. it should be worth so power stones, right? co on don't be stingy)
Liu Ping's eyes narrowed as she glanced at the small words still lingering in the void.
[You activated the mystery type Ability: The One Who Debuts.]
[Explanation: You can designate an enemy as 'The One Who Debuts.' The assigned enemy, as if stepping on stage for the first ti, will be prone to either forgetting their 'lines' (causing mory lapses) or performing actions incorrectly (movent failures). You can choose which effect occurs.]
[You specified the opponent's throwing action to fail.]
[The opponent has failed.]
[You have consud 500 spirit stones.]
His face contorted in frustration.
This wasn't supposed to happen.
He was supposed to gain the upper hand, yet he had wasted 500 spirit stones. The result? The enemy's actions were disrupted, but now he had to find another way to retrieve the storage bag from that young cultivator.
The reality of the situation set in. If he didn't manage to recover the bag, the 500 spirit stones would go to waste—cheapened by the opponent's quick thinking.
He turned his attention back to the battlefield, where he could still hear the distant sounds of objects falling from the sky, narrowly avoiding the deadly debris himself.
Only three opponents remained in the field now.
Did they not follow? That would be a missed opportunity.
He dashed onward, avoiding the falling sky, his mind already calculating the next step.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly sensed two figures rushing toward him from behind.
"Junior Sister Li, are you in front?" soone shouted.
They were coming!
Liu Ping waved lightly at the massive smoke and dust, parting it effortlessly to reveal her figure.
"I'm here" 'she' said calmly.
The two male cultivators, relieved to have found her, hurried into the swirling smoke and dust. They saw Junior Sister Li standing there, seemingly unhard, examining sothing on the ground.
"Junior Sister, let us help you."
"There are too many people here, I only need one. You two decide among yourselves."
"Then I'll co."
"—Junior Sister, don't listen to him. His cultivation base is low, and his combat effectiveness is too poor."
The two exchanged looks.
"Forget it. Two senior brothers, don't quarrel over " Junior sister Li said, stepping forward to intervene.
'She' separated them and spoke softly, "Although I would prefer to choose the stronger one of you as my Daoist partner if you start fighting, the elders will definitely reprimand you. Now, it seems like you two are afraid of the elders, aren't you?"
A Daoist partner...
Junior sister's words seed to hang in the air, leaving a weighty silence behind.
One of the male cultivators, trying to regain his composure, flashed a charming smile and said softly, "Junior Sister, you stay here. I'll step out and 'chat' with Junior Brother for a bit, and then co back to find you."
The other male cultivator said, "Yes, Junior Sister, I'll be back shortly—don't worry, Senior Brother will be persuaded to leave imdiately."
The female cultivator sighed, then replied, "Please don't do anything excessive. I'll wait for you here."
After speaking, she took out two futons, placing one on the ground and sitting on the other. The second futon rested beside her.
She was clearly prepared to wait for the result—she ant business.
"Junior Sister, don't worry" the two n said in unison.
They nodded to her and, in perfect synchrony, disappeared from sight.
The 'Fairy' sat on the futon for a mont.
—The last ti Senior Sister Li brought a group of cultivators to the small town, she uncovered a clue.
These cultivators were carrying high-grade weapons, and their cultivation bases were impressive. They seed to be from Azure Heavens Sect.
Azure Heavens Sect was one of the seven major sects. Back in the Western desolate camp, this sect had been recruiting people, even setting up a ring at the entrance of the camp.
The sect's disciples were taught to "breakthrough in life-and-death fights"—their focus was always on fighting, fighting, and more fighting.
As a result, disciples with average qualifications were often weaker in other areas. They didn't rely on strategy, and their approach made them easy to handle.
Suddenly, the female cultivator looked in one direction.
They were gradually approaching the center of the SkyFall. Through the smoke and dust filling the sky, she could vaguely see sothing wriggling in the distance.
She couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
Lines of small, burning texts quickly appeared:
[Old God Sacrificial Altar.]
[This is the summoning ground of the Myriad Gods from the Nightmare Era. In five minutes, the altar will fully activate, calling back the Old Gods who once descended here.]
5 minutes!
The monster known as "The Lord of Creeping Nightmare" would be returning soon.
Liu Ping quickly took several steps back, preparing to leave imdiately, but then stopped abruptly.
—Her senior brother had returned.
He was covered in wounds, and blood spurted from his mouth as he triumphantly said, "Junior Sister, I spoke with Junior Brother just now, and he finally decided to quit."
"I knew it, it really is the senior brother" the female cultivator murmured. She nodded and motioned for him to sit in front of her.
Senior Brother staggered over, sat down on the futon, and said, "Junior Sister, now you know who can be your ideal person."
'She' smiled warmly and said, "Yes, it's you."
The Senior Brother leaned forward, his excitent barely contained. "Then—"
But before he could continue, 'Junior Sister' cut in with a playful glint in her eye. "I've prepared a spiritual artifact for you, as a token of my affection. What token of love do you have prepared for ?"
The Senior Brother was montarily taken aback.
A spiritual artifact? Sothing sharp, powerful, imbued with spirit—an artifact of this caliber was already incredibly rare, likely the best her abilities could acquire.
For her to acquire such a treasure, she must have poured everything she had into acquiring it.
And now, she wanted to give it to him as a token of her love.
"What is it?" he asked with a faint smile, trying to mask his astonishnt.
"Senior Brother can guess first," she replied with a teasing tone. "But tell —what token of love will you prepare for ?"
The Senior Brother was at a loss, unsure of how to respond. He hesitated, but the female cultivator chuckled, breaking the tension.
"I've long wanted to marry you, Senior Brother" she said with a soft laugh. "Of course, I had to prepare a spiritual artifact for you. But as for your token of love—there's no need to make it so complicated. I'll simply choose sothing with sentintal value from your storage bag. What do you think?"
The Senior Brother froze again. 'What a thoughtful and sensible girl!'
'She understood the struggles of others and was considerate enough to not demand extravagance. A simple, aningful nto would suffice for her.'
"Junior Sister, here" he said, untying his storage bag and deactivating all its restrictions. "Take it. Choose anything you like."
The female cultivator's eyes sparkled as she accepted the storage bag with a smile.
'She' smiled and took the storage bag.
Suddenly, a drastic change occurred.
A stream of light flashed, suddenly passing through the male cultivator's body.
"Ah... ah..." He couldn't even form a word before he died within two breaths.
'Junior sister Li' imdiately drew her sword and shouted, "Who is it?"
Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure slowly erged.
"Eldest brother?" The female cultivator was stunned.
"That's right, Junior Sister. You've been fooled. This person isn't worth entrusting your life to" the elder brother said coldly, looking at the corpse.
"Even if he wasn't worth entrusting, you shouldn't have killed him," She retorted angrily.
The elder brother laughed softly. "Junior Sister, you're too naive. He killed another junior brother, and he also poisoned you."
"Poison?"
'She' was about to make a move but then stopped, confused.
"Yes, he gave you a poison called Twin Sentint Tribulation. This poison causes you to gradually fall in love with soone who ets certain conditions, and in the end, you would beco that person's Daoist partner" the elder brother explained.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"Junior Sister, you can check the jade bottles in his storage bag. They're full of various poison pills he collected."
"This only shows that his intentions were impure, it doesn't prove he poisoned " she responded, standing firm.
"Junior Sister, look at this" the elder brother said with a smile, reaching for sothing in his robes.
Eldest Brother threw a jade slip over.
'Junior Sister' caught it and quickly scanned the contents within.
She was lost in thought.
The images were genuine, aning that the person who had poisoned her was indeed the one who had just died.
But why did the elder brother know about this?
As she pondered, she heard the elder brother's voice: "I'm sure you're wondering why I know about this."
"Yes"
"Because I've been watching you, Li Zhangxue. You are the only one among the hundred female cultivators in the sect who is worthy of my attention," the Eldest Senior Brother said, smiling.
He tossed sothing towards her.
She caught it and saw it was a white jade bottle. She opened it, revealing a radiant elixir inside.
In the air, lines of small texts quickly appeared:
[You have obtained the ultimate pill:]
[Supre Indifference Pill.]
[This elixir is extrely rare, and its purpose is to counteract the poison of the Twin Sentint Tribulation. It also helps the practitioner avoid a catastrophe, and within three days, will raise their cultivation by an entire realm.]
A truly miraculous dicine!
What a magnificent pill!
This pill's grade was only surpassed by the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill—nothing else could compare to it.
by giving her this pill, not only would he save her from an evil plot he also killed the villain in the process. On top of that, the eldest brother had gifted her such a powerful dicine, showing great affection and always keeping an eye on her.
If he were truly a woman. soone doing such a thing for her, perhaps she would have been tempted.
....but he wasn't
Liu Ping carefully stored the elixir, as well as the storage bag of the senior brother who had died in front of him. Then, with a sharp glint in his eyes, he turned his gaze to the eldest brother.
"Eldest brother must have a wish... can you share it with ?" he asked, his tone unyielding.
The eldest brother was taken aback.
He hadn't expected his junior sister to be so direct—though, considering she was a swordsman who valued straightforwardness, it made sense.
"Junior Sister" he began, "all the elders in the sect have decided to choose as the next head, and I've agreed to their decision. But do you know the conditions of my agreent?" he asked.
"What are they?" Liu Ping inquired, seemingly puzzled.
The eldest brother smirked, slapped the storage bag, and took out a long sword, tossing it toward Liu Ping.
Liu Ping caught the sword, and as he held it, lines of small words quickly appeared in the void:
[You have obtained the weapon:]
[Sorrow.]
[This sword is a divine tool. It contains a sword spirit. Only after the sword spirit acknowledges you will its true power be unleashed.]
Liu Ping stood still, his mind racing.
At first, he had simply planned to save Senior Sister Li, kill a few people along the way, and maybe make so profit. But now, to his surprise, he had acquired a miraculous pill and a divine sword—more than he had ever expected.
Was it really so easy being a woman?
No! He had to stop thinking like that. It was too dangerous to entertain such thoughts.
Liu Ping coughed lightly, trying to shake off the strange feeling creeping up inside him. Then, with a soft giggle like a silver bell, he couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, you're so kind to ... do you want to be my Daoist companion?"
