ALL NOVEL Chapter 13
Chapter 14: I’m Gonna Blow Up the Furnace
These guys were all rogue cultivators, and with that aura of bloodlust, it was clear they were always involved in banditry!
In the cultivation world, experts never introduced themselves or wasted time with long speeches.
Killing and snatching treasures were hard truths.
Once the killing intent arises—
They wouldn’t hold back!
Just like the bunch in front of Liu Shunyi.
Their figures intertwined.
Several of them instantly pounced on Liu Shunyi to attack.
But oddly enough—
Once Liu Shunyi unleashed all his power—
“Boom~”
A surge of energy flooded the scene.
Everything around was frozen in time.
Even the movements of the attackers slowed down drastically.
Liu Shunyi could even see the water droplets in the air.
“This isn’t freezing; my speed is just so fast it makes them look slow!”
Liu Shunyi was a bit shocked by his current strength.
“Boom~”
A thunderous roar echoed.
Lightning leapt rapidly among the attackers.
When the flash of light faded—
Liu Shunyi was already standing behind them.
With his back to the attackers, he sheathed his sword.
Then he continued stepping toward the direction of Qinglian Sect.
As for those who tried to ambush Liu Shunyi—
Their bodies were instantly sliced into pieces!
Killed on the spot.
The scene was bloodily gruesome.
Not long after—
Liu Shunyi returned, looking quite disheveled.
“Ah, can’t look cool for more than three seconds!”
Looking at the severed limbs scattered everywhere, Liu Shunyi hurriedly rummaged through his Storage Bag.
Wow.
These guys—
Almost filled his pockets with three thousand low-grade spirit stones!
And various herbs.
Even some poison pills.
Unfortunately—
No cultivation techniques.
What a shame!
After harvesting, Liu Shunyi turned to leave.
He couldn’t help but reflect.
Sure enough—
In the cultivation world,
Killing and looting was the quickest way to earn money.
But sadly,
These people were too weak.
The strongest among them barely reached Qi Refinement Fourth Stage.
They didn’t even have the qualification to ascend to the Golden Scroll Path!
Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Shunyi headed back to Qinglian Sect.
However, what Liu Shunyi didn’t know was—
Up above in the sky,
Ji Suying and a little girl had been watching Liu Shunyi’s actions from start to finish.
The little girl was somewhat shocked.
“Elder Sister, his power just now almost gave me a heart attack!”
Ji Suying chuckled.
“Being able to cultivate the Crazy Thunder Sutra and the Thunderbolt Sword isn’t ordinary. Plus, the combination of these techniques makes it possible for him to take on someone at the Qi Refinement Twelfth Stage like you!”
The little girl huffed.
“Just Qi Refinement. I’m about to reach Foundation Establishment!”
Ji Suying smiled and shook her head.
Little did she expect, while secretly observing Chen Beiping, there would be a pleasant surprise—at least it gave her little sister a sense of urgency.
Well, look at that.
Here was a Servant Disciple, without resources or talent, yet he still managed to cultivate to this level.
And the Ji family had everything at their disposal; her sister Ji Mingyue had a talent for spiritual roots that left Liu Shunyi in the dust.
If she couldn’t surpass a Servant Disciple, she’d have no face left in the cultivation world!
Nevertheless, Ji Mingyue still wasn’t giving up.
“Practicing the Crazy Thunder Sutra is hugely damaging to the body and could hurt his foundation…”
Ji Suying raised a hand to interrupt.
“He has a solid foundation; his physical realm is actually at the eighth level of Body Refinement—no, now it’s at the ninth level!”
“So, what that means is, he just killed those people with less than ten percent of his strength!”
Ji Mingyue fell silent.
Meanwhile, Ji Suying looked on mischievously at her sister.
Ji Mingyue was dumbfounded.
“Elder Sister, are you doing this on purpose?”
Ji Suying nodded.
“Yep.”
Ji Mingyue: “…”
……
……
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
Liu Shunyi was still busy doing servant disciple work.
Neither displaying his capabilities nor making a fuss.
In Liu Shunyi’s world,
In the cultivation realm, if you can hide your talents, you hide them as much as you can.
Of course, during these three days—
Liu Shunyi wasn’t idle either.
He secretly investigated who Chen Beiping really was.
The reason for investigating Chen Beiping?
Because Cui Hao died.
It was quite strange.
Liu Shunyi had seen with his own eyes how Chen Beiping’s name had jumped to the page where Cui Hao’s name was written on the Golden Scroll of Path, effectively taking over.
And then the next day, news of Cui Hao’s death spread.
Even though Chen Beiping’s name was on the Golden Scroll, Liu Shunyi wasn’t scared of him coming for revenge.
Nor of being assassinated.
However, if Chen Beiping wanted to kill him—
Then he’d better look into Chen Beiping’s family too.
After all, he didn’t have many enemies at the moment.
It would be best to jot down everyone in his family!
But when Liu Shunyi finally pieced together information about Chen Beiping—
He felt somewhat speechless.
“Chen Beiping, a waste from the Chen family, but suddenly rose to power three years ago, training at breakneck speed, eventually being accepted as an Inner Disciple by Qinglian Sect!”
“And his closest buddy is Qin Shaogong.”
Liu Shunyi’s expression turned vibrant.
“Wow, what a background! This plot doesn’t smell like a destined child or something, does it?”
But then again—
That didn’t quite add up.
If he were really a destined child, or a lucky one, his name shouldn’t be just plain blue either.
And also, was this guy missing a few screws?
As for Qin Shaogong’s death, what did it have to do with me… um, on the surface, what’s my connection?
Why the heck is he hunting me instead of Zhao Gou?
“Wait a minute, Zhao Gou!”
Suddenly, Liu Shunyi remembered a possibility.
Maybe Chen Beiping had approached Zhao Gou.
With Zhao Gou’s personality, he’d definitely spill everything he experienced, right?
Connecting the dots with Zhang Erhu’s death, and with Zhang Junbao also seemingly wanting to kill him—
Yet they all ended up mysteriously dead in the end.
That really put the spotlight on Liu Shunyi.
As for going after Cui Hao,
Chen Beiping must’ve wanted to confirm a suspicion in his heart.
“Oh man, this Chen Beiping isn’t just brainless; he’s remarkably careful with his actions!”
Liu Shunyi was immediately drenched in cold sweat.
He wasn’t scared of Chen Beiping.
He was already on the Golden Scroll Path.
But Chen Beiping was an Inner Disciple!
If he reported those incidents to his master—
Wouldn’t that put Liu Shunyi in danger?
“No way, no way! Even if this enemy’s a blue one, he’s too much of a threat!”
Liu Shunyi figured out what he should do.
If that’s the case,
He had to drain this enemy’s potential.
With that thought, Liu Shunyi tossed aside the task at hand.
He was off to concoct pills.
As for what to do without a furnace?
Simple.
Just set up a pot.
And not just any pot—a self-made pressure cooker!
As for the techniques for pill refinement—
Those were equally reckless!
And when it came to blowing up the furnace?
Liu Shunyi wouldn’t mind if the explosion blasted him to bits!
Having sorted all that out,
Liu Shunyi directly dived into the basics of pill refinement.
He threw all his spiritual herbs straight into the pot.
Then it was time to crank up the heat and stir.
Finally, he slapped a lid on the pot.
And right next to it,
Liu Shunyi sat cross-legged beside his pressure cooker, mumbling to himself.
“Blow up the furnace, blow up the furnace, blow up the furnace!”
