“You’re not Murong Jing!”
“You’re quite sharp!”
“Puchi!”
…
“Murong Jing” looked at the corpse of the silver-haired elder, stood up, and walked forward, muttering to himself, “That bastard Demon King really wants to put me in a deadly situation, so I have no choice but to take a risk!”
“Once I find out your true identity, you’re as good as dead!!!”
“Puchi!”
On the ground, the silver-haired elder’s body was divided in two!
…
…
In the mountain range, terrifying sounds echoed back and forth.
But they soon came to an abrupt halt.
Pei Jinye exhaled lightly.
Looking at the massive corpse on the ground.
“Good thing I kept a trick up my sleeve, otherwise that beast really would have succeeded in its sneak attack.”
He reached out his hand.
He dissected the corpse on the ground and quickly extracted an inner core.
“Not bad quality.” Pei Jinye was satisfied and collected it.
At that moment, however, the Thousand-Thread Line suddenly vibrated.
Following that,
An old Daoist’s voice came from afar: “Young man, this item and I have fate, please yield it.”
As the voice dropped,
Pei Jinye responded with a Light Slash.
In an instant, the approaching figure was blasted away.
The mountains roared with the impact.
The old Daoist’s voice came in frustration: “Young man, if you won’t give it, then don’t, but why so heavy-handed? Your killing intent is way too strong.”
Pei Jinye chuckled coldly, “Today, seeing that you’re fated with me, you ought to stay behind.”
The old Daoist hurried to run, but Pei Jinye was faster.
In a series of rapid moments, sounds of thunderous fire rang out midair.
The old Daoist landed and retreated, hurriedly slapping the flames on his clothes, annoyed, “Alright, alright, I admit defeat, young friend, please stop causing trouble for this old Dao.”
Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow and stretched out his hand, ready to charge again.
At that moment, the old Daoist quickly put up his hands: “I admit defeat, I admit defeat… geez, you hit even when I admit defeat, how shameless.”
“Stop the nonsense.”
The old Daoist kept retreating, and then suddenly said, “Young friend, you are very strong, why not join hands with me for a big score, I assure you will be satisfied.”
“I don’t trust you.”
Pei Jinye stood in mid-air, looking over from afar.
The other’s spiritual power was around eight hundred thousand.
Killing him would indeed be difficult.
But Pei Jinye didn’t intend to kill him, he just wanted to deter him, and maybe extort a bit more.
“Let’s say I’m at fault, I’ll give you this medicine material.” The old Dao tossed a bag of medicine materials and turned to flee in the opposite direction.
Pei Jinye didn’t chase; he wrapped the medicine materials in mid-air and retrieved them, “To poison it too, how despicable!”
But the poison was useless against Pei Jinye.
He opened the bag.
Pei Jinye sneered again, “Seven medicine materials, except for one that’s real, the rest are fakes… this old guy is really cunning, seems like he’s quite experienced.”
…
…
In the distance.
The fleeing old Dao gasped, looking at the bruised areas on his body, cursing in anger, “Heartless! Truly heartless! As a fellow Awakener, how could he be so vicious, good thing I used superior techniques… hiss, where did this physical cultivator come from, his attacks are really ruthless.”
He looked up ahead.
“Hm, this item and I are indeed fated…”
Saying that, he rushed toward it.
…
After cleaning up the corpse of the fierce beast, Pei Jinye also seemed to sense something, raised his head to look, and vaguely there was a powerful force seemingly waiting to burst forth.
“An Exotic Treasure born into the world?”
He slightly raised an eyebrow.
Pei Jinye was somewhat tempted, but his first reaction was to take out the Divination Turtle Shell and quickly divined for himself.
“Great calamity!”
“…Absurd, who set up this grand scheme!”
Pei Jinye didn’t look back and quickly fled.
…
…
The appointed time with Lin Xiuxian had arrived.
Now, Pei Jinye had also gathered quite a number of inner cores, currently just missing other medicinal materials, so he went straight back to Dragon City martial arts university.
…
“Brother Pei.” Liu Limin greeted Pei Jinye with the usual enthusiasm.
Beside him, Zhong Taishu looked bruised and swollen.
Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised: “Did you get into a fight? Was it you or Old Ji?”
“I don’t have such strength; it was the student council.” Liu Limin said in a low voice, “Recently, people from the Southern Continent have been targeted by the student council…”
Waited a bit.
Liu Limin noticed that Pei Jinye didn’t seem the least bit curious, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Bro, aren’t you the least bit curious?”
“Curious.”
“…Then why haven’t you asked me about the follow-up?”
“Is it important?”
“Yeap.” Liu Limin, having been effectively cornered, gave a bitter smile and shook his head, then said quietly, “There’s a senior sister in the Southern Continent who had a falling out with one of the student councils’ senior sisters. Oh, right, it’s said to be over securing the support of a high-ranking school official. They really went at each other, and now there are signs of both sides forming teams…”
As he spoke, he sighed, “It’s just that President Fang isn’t around, so now morale is scattered. If President Fang were here, who would dare to utter a ‘no’?”
Zhong Taishu was chatting with someone and was soon led away by Situ Limonth.
Cao Yingjun hurried over, grabbed the cup next to Liu Limin, and downed the water, catching Liu Limin off guard.
“What’s the matter? Did you abandon someone after your fling?”
“Something big happened in the Eastern Continent,” Cao Yingjun said, catching his breath.
Liu Limin looked puzzled, “What big thing?”
“I just overheard the school leaders talking about this, but last night it was suspected that an Exotic Treasure descended on Xizhou Mountain. At least three hundred Awakeners pursued it, and almost all of them were wiped out.”
“Holy shit!!!” Liu Limin exclaimed, “Really?”
“Really!” Cao Yingjun nodded, “At least more than twenty Ninth Rankers were there, it seems like three professors from our school… probably wiped out.”
“Ninth Rank…” Liu Limin’s mouth fell open.
Pei Jinye quietly listened on the side.
Xizhou Mountain…
That was the place where he had encountered that old Taoist last night.
As the divination had said, truly catastrophic.
[Indeed, one mustn’t be too greedy.]
Before long, almost everywhere in the school people talked about the Xizhou Mountain incident, and posts about it on the forum increased.
Pei Jinye just listened to this stuff, but didn’t take it to heart.
Gu Wutong popped up in the group chat out of nowhere, tagging him like mad: [Bro, give us the scoop… What exactly happened at Xizhou Mountain? Did that many Brother Nines really die?]
Pei Jinye was speechless.
He typed using mental wave control: [You haven’t shown up for so long, and the first thing you ask is this? Are we drifting apart? Why not ask about Brother Bi and Zhou Ye’s health?]
Zhou Ye: [Eh, no sense of loyalty these days.]
Brother Bi surfaced silently.
[…]
[Group notification: Member Gu Wutong has sent a red envelope. Would you like to claim it?]
Member Pei Jinye claimed successfully.
Member Zhou Ye claimed successfully.
Member…
…
Pei Jinye: [Just one cent? That’s not fitting for your Gu young master’s image at all!]
Zhou Ye: [Eh, no sense of loyalty these days.]
Brother Bi: [Even I find this hard to watch.]
Gu Wutong with a face full of black lines: [I’m really broke, been trained so hard I’m shedding skin, just managed to touch my phone.]
He tagged Pei Jinye again to ask about the Xizhou Mountain incident.
Pei Jinye: [I don’t know either, was cultivating, just heard about it. Seems like a big deal, recently the Night Patrol Department, the Investigation Team, and the military are investigating frequently.]
Gu Wutong lamented for a good while.
The online chat did not last long before it ended.
Pei Jinye heard something and looked up to see Ji Wutian coming over in high spirits.
Even before he spoke, Pei Jinye guessed that guy was going to talk about the Xizhou Mountain incident.
After sitting for a while, Cao Yingjun received a call saying there was a new gig.
Pei Jinye excused himself and left.
Ji Wutian and Liu Limin decided to have a showdown.
Just like that, half a month flew by.
[You gained 1200 Attribute Points]
After picking up the Attribute Light Group this morning, Pei Jinye roughly calculated that in half a month, he had collected seven times, with three of those being Attribute Light Groups, totaling four thousand two hundred points.
Adding those four thousand plus points would mean an increase of one thousand four hundred to every attribute.
It didn’t seem like much.
But it was an immediate increase.
That was what Pei Jinye cared about the most.
…
He exhaled a long breath.
During this time, he had slain quite a few Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank fierce beasts.
Although he couldn’t refine Dan Medicine directly.
At least Pei Jinye had a more intuitive grasp of the Beast Origin Pill.
…
“Brother Pei, let’s go to Snow Dragon Mountain this afternoon.”
“Not going, no time.”
“Brother Pei, please.”
“…”

Pei Jinye, looking at Liu Limin pulling at his hand and acting spoiled, was speechless, “Seriously, what are you doing at Snow Dragon Mountain? Isn’t that place always swarming with fierce beasts going berserk?”
“I got an Academic Credits task, 14 credits, we split it 50/50, Brother Pei please.”
Pei Jinye really had no way to deal with him.
“I have an appointment at six, I can only give you three hours max.”
“Three hours is enough! With us brothers joining forces, are we afraid of just a Third Rank beast!”
