“Just one more step to reach Qi Training Stage - Level 4.”
Ye Lin’s lips curled upwards. He had a defective Spiritual Root, which made his Cultivation speed incredibly slow. But even so, with the aid of Spirit Stones, he still made rapid progress.
No wonder everyone desired Spirit Stones; their preciousness had a reason.
“Time to get down to business.”
Ye Lin stood up and dusted himself off. He hadn’t forgotten about that so-called longsword. A Yellow Rank High Grade longsword would make even Inner Sect Disciples green with envy.
More precious than Spiritual Plants, Spirit Medicines, and Spiritual Fruits were Magic Treasures. Forging a Magic Treasure, even a Yellow Rank Low Grade one, required a tremendous amount of resources and effort.
However, the chance of failure during forging was also greater. Therefore, a Yellow Rank Low Grade Magic Treasure could be exchanged for at least ten Yellow Rank Low Grade Medicinal Pills.
Ye Lin wasn’t very familiar with Bibo Lake, but he only knew that within the Qingyun Sect, there was only one lake.
Presumably, that was Bibo Lake.
In an instant, Ye Lin arrived in front of Bibo Lake.
Bibo Lake, its name sounded beautiful, but it was just a small lake. Several figures were busy around it, and a layer of white mist floated on the lake’s surface.
Ye Lin placed his token on the bank, then dove into the lake and swam towards the bottom. After searching for a long time, he finally found a sword hilt exposed in a corner.
Seeing this, Ye Lin was overjoyed. He quickly grabbed the hilt, pulled the entire sword out, and took the immortal sword to the shore.
“As expected of a Yellow Rank High Grade longsword, it truly is extraordinary.”
Ye Lin praised, looking at the faint chill emanating from the sword hilt.
After confirming there was no one around, Ye Lin flashed several times and disappeared. With his current Qi Training Stage - Level 3 cultivation, ordinary people would find it difficult to track him if he wished.
Upon returning to his residence, Ye Lin carefully hid the longsword under his bed. This sword was too precious; it was best not to take it out unless absolutely necessary.
“Phew, Cultivate.”
With that, Ye Lin took out his last three remaining Spirit Stones, then fully circulated his Cultivation Technique, while simultaneously absorbing the remaining Spiritual Qi in his Dantian, making rapid progress.
As time passed little by little, fifteen days flashed by in the blink of an eye.
“Phew.”
At this moment, Ye Lin slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, and patted the dust off his body.
Name: Ye Lin
Cultivation: Qi Training Fifth Level
Fate: Black (Full of tribulations)
Fate Principles: 【Divine Comprehension】 【Bad Luck Embodied】
Destiny: Tomorrow, he will be forced to participate in the Utility Disciple Grand Competition to compete for the position of Utility Disciple Supervisor. He will fight Zhang Liang, then powerfully slay Zhang Liang. Afterward, he will be targeted by Zhao Hu, a subordinate of Zhang Liang’s older brother, Zhang Xiao. To curry favor with Zhang Xiao, Zhao Hu will then conspire to use a sleeping drug to knock out the host tomorrow night, then imprison him in the dungeon. Two months later, Zhang Xiao will emerge from seclusion and slay the host.
Recent Opportunity: None
【Divine Comprehension】: Extraordinary Comprehension Ability. Extremely fast at comprehending various Cultivation Techniques. For the same Cultivation Technique, others need three months to comprehend, while you only need a few days.
【Bad Luck Embodied】: Poor luck. For example, you will definitely trip when walking, and you will definitely be cheated on if you get married.
Looking at his destiny, Ye Lin’s eyes narrowed. He knew Zhang Xiao’s name; he was the number one person in the Outer Sect, and his cultivation had already reached the terrifying Qi Training Seventh Layer.
If it was a direct confrontation, he couldn't win, but he could escape. However, the panel showed that he would be knocked out by his subordinate using a sleeping drug.
“I must get this position of Utility Disciple Supervisor. I need to prepare early for what comes next.”
Ye Lin muttered. His current identity was merely a Utility Disciple, which made things inconvenient. Moreover, if the Grand Competition tomorrow selected one Utility Disciple Supervisor and nine Team Leaders, he wouldn't be able to Cultivate peacefully.
As long as he obtained the position of Utility Disciple Supervisor, things would be much more convenient. Not only would he manage the resource allocation for all Utility Disciples, but he would also not be subject to anyone’s control.
General tasks were usually issued by the Sect and then handed over to the Utility Disciple Supervisor. Utility Disciples who needed to receive tasks had to go through the Utility Disciple Supervisor. The benefits were self-evident.
What’s more, he could also be awarded a Yellow Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill, which was simply too beneficial.
The next day, the originally peaceful Utility Disciple residences began to stir.
Numerous figures rushed towards the Sect Plaza, for today was the day the Utility Disciple Grand Competition began. Whether one could transform into a Dragon depended on today.
In a vast plaza, figures were densely packed.
In the very center, a huge arena was set up.
“Today is the Utility Disciple Grand Competition. Its purpose is to select one Utility Disciple Supervisor and nine Team Leaders, and these ten individuals will be the ones who manage all Utility Disciples.”
At this moment, at the very front of the plaza, an aged figure stood on the steps, his voice echoing throughout the entire plaza.
This figure was none other than the Qingyun Sect’s Outer Sect Elder, a powerful expert at Qi Training Ninth Layer.
“The rules of the Grand Competition are: anyone who wishes to participate can step onto the arena, then fight individually. The strongest person and the top nine will remain. These ten individuals will be the ones who manage all Utility Disciples.”
After the Elder finished speaking, he waved his hand. Immediately, the Utility Disciples below swarmed forward, all stepping onto the arena, their faces full of vigilance as they looked at the people around them.
As for the new Utility Disciples, not a single one went up. They all knew in their hearts that the Utility Disciple Grand Competition was ultimately the stage for the veteran Utility Disciples.
They were just there for show.
Ye Lin, however, focused his gaze on the Elder in the sky. He watched for a long time, but no panel appeared.
“Is it impossible to view someone if their cultivation is too high?”
Ye Lin muttered, then stepped onto the arena. Indeed, if he could check freely, he could secretly peek at the Sect Master. The stronger one’s strength, the more terrifying the Opportunity one encountered would be.
“Alright, the rules of the competition are: falling off the arena means losing. Try not to kill anyone.”
After the Elder finished speaking, Ye Lin frowned. “Try not to kill anyone” meant that killing was allowed.
With the Elder’s final shout, the Disciples on the arena instantly moved, all attacking those next to them. The scene immediately descended into chaos, with figures falling off the arena one by one.
At this moment, whether they were blood brothers or long-time friends, they all turned against each other, showing no mercy.
“Brother, I’m sorry, but you’re going down.”
At this moment, a Utility Disciple next to Ye Lin said, then raised his fist and smashed it towards Ye Lin’s face. Ye Lin frowned and casually waved his hand, and that Qi Training Stage - Level 1 Disciple was directly knocked off the arena.
The entire process was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, including himself, only eleven people remained on the field.
