The ti passed amidst the disciples of the Five Extres Mountain cursing this ghostly weather.
Pan Yang found an Outer Sect disciple to temporarily take his place at the library, and then began to get busy, preparing for the upcoming journey to the Jiuli State.
Liou Yuan, on the other hand, had nothing to prepare.
His skills were all in his sword, and he only needed to bring the Profound Brilliance Sword.
If he had to speak of hidden cards, then the "Blood Imperial Spell" would be one.
Liou Yuan had never revealed it in front of others, considering it his trump card hidden at the bottom of the chest.
Therefore, his days did not change much; he still practiced as usual every day, occasionally practiced swordsmanship by the river, and familiarized himself with the "Blood Absorption Chapter" magic in his cave.
For ten days, he greedily absorbed as much Star Spiritual Power from the Spirit Gathering Array without regard for consequences, forcing Liou Yuan to refine another stream of spiritual power within his body, now totaling twenty-three streams of spiritual power.
After all, he wouldn’t be returning from this trip any ti soon, so leaving the spiritual power in the array would just be a waste.
The agreed date with Pan Yang was approaching fast.
After enjoying ten peaceful days, Liou Yuan, after his last practice session, brought out the Qianli Ear that belonged to Liou Zhen.
The last ti Liou Yuan took the Shoushan Tower mission to guard the city of Chouhuai, Liou Zhen ntioned he would go into seclusion.
Calculating the ti, it’s been nearly half a year.
Liou Yuan worried about disturbing his elder brother’s cultivation, so he hadn’t used the Qianli Ear during this period.
But now, the ti had co to use it.
"The risks of this journey to Jiuli State in search of opportunities are not even the main concern."
"What worries more is the reaction from Xiang Mountain’s Liou Family."
"Will they take advantage of my departure from Wuji Mountain to secretly harm ?"
Given the enmity between the two branches of the Liou Family, Liou Yuan’s worries were not unfounded.
Since the rumors about Liou Yuan being a Five-Star Star Acupoint spread among the Outer Sect, the Liou Family had been eerily quiet.
Would they really remain indifferent to this matter? Liou Yuan absolutely did not believe it.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Liou Zhen’s opinion.
If his big brother didn’t want him to go out, Liou Yuan would obediently heed his advice.
At worst, he’d ask Pan Yang to postpone the date.
Of course, if Pan Yang couldn’t wait, there was nothing Liou Yuan could do.
Between life and opportunities, Liou Yuan believed his life was more important.
"In my past life, I died falling into a pit because I was too careless. I can’t make such mistakes this ti."
Muttering to himself, Liou Yuan infused spiritual power into the Qianli Ear, informing it of his intention to leave Five Extres Mountain.
He didn’t explicitly state the reason, as his elder brother wasn’t the type to ask many questions.
After doing all this, Liou Yuan patiently sat on the stone bed, waiting for the jade scroll’s response.
After about three to five breaths.
The Qianli Ear jade scroll flickered with starlight, and a deep voice ca from within.
It wasn’t from his elder brother Liou Zhen, but from Fang Yu.
"Your elder brother is in seclusion, and the Qianli Ear is with ."
Liou Yuan recognized Fang Yu’s identity, and an uncontrollable awkward smile appeared on his face as he quickly replied, "So it’s Mr. Fang Yu."
Fang Yu, due to favoritism during the entrance exam, had been confined by the Sect Leader for two months.
This was known throughout the Five Extres Mountain, and Liou Yuan was aware of it too.
Given that his penalty was due to him, even soone as thick-skinned as Liou Yuan felt sowhat embarrassed.
Fang Yu, however, didn’t mind the matter at all, and with the flicker of the Qianli Ear jade scroll, he answered Liou Yuan’s previous question.
"The high-level mbers of the Liou Family were all sent to the Jin Dynasty by the Sect Leader recently, saying they were to help repair arrays in various cities, and they won’t be coming back anyti soon."
"Currently, there isn’t a single Foundation Establishnt Liou Family mber in Five Extres Mountain. You just need to be cautious of those Late-stage Qi Cultivation folks; with your strength, it won’t be a big problem."
Liou Yuan was very satisfied with this answer, secretly rejoicing, "The Sect Leader really did a huge favor."
Though he had never t the Sect Leader of the Five Extres Mountain, Liou Yuan had occasionally heard rumors about him.
He was said to be an incredibly ruthless person.
Now, Liou Yuan felt this ruthless person wasn’t all that frightening.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Yu," Liou Yuan sincerely offered his gratitude.
The Qianli Ear did not convey Fang Yu’s voice again.
"Alas, I am ashad," Liou Yuan dared not say more, laying down the Qianli Ear with a face full of emotion.
He had heard that ultimately Fang Yu hadn’t implicated his elder brother.
This proved that the friend his big brother made was reliable.
The more it was so, the more Liou Yuan felt guilty toward Fang Yu, thinking of redeeming this feeling of guilt in his heart.
He rummaged through his storage bag but couldn’t find anything that would interest a Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator.
"I feel poor indeed." Liou Yuan could only silently rember Fang Yu’s kindness, planning to make it up to him later.
Soon, the departure day arrived.
Liou Yuan finished his cultivation early, arriving at Pan Yang’s cave before dawn.
When this old hand from the library reappeared in front of Liou Yuan, he was already at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
This caused Liou Yuan’s eyebrow to twitch uncontrollably.
With Evil Eyes in his possession, he had never been wrong in sensing soone’s cultivation.
He clearly rembered that ten days ago, when he parted ways with Pan Yang, Pan Yang was still so distance away from Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
With Pan Yang’s qualifications, there was only one way to breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer in such a short ti.
"Doping," Liou Yuan understood in his heart, nonchalantly shifting his scrutiny from Pan Yang.
This clearly showed how much Pan Yang valued this opportunity, risking the dangers of pill toxins to forcibly improve his cultivation.
Pan Yang had a frank expression and didn’t hide the fact about his breakthrough, explaining with a bitter smile to Liou Yuan, "I’ve spent all these years’ accumulated rit points."
"I just hope there will be a good outco this ti."
"Heaven helps those who help themselves," Liou Yuan comforted Pan Yang.
Then the two said no more, heading straight toward the Disciplinary Hall on the Fifth Peak.
The intense heat persisted.
The morning sun had just risen from the horizon, and the scorching heat waves already perated the world.
The incessant cicada cries in the mountains annoyed and disturbed them.
Fortunately, with the Water Acupoint Skill in his possession, the cool light from Treading Flowing Waves spread a refreshing aura, dispelling the intense heat around Liou Yuan.
Pan Yang, however, was not as fortunate.
By the ti the two stood before the Disciplinary Hall, his face was already covered in sweat.
"This damn weather, I haven’t seen a year hotter than this in almost thirty years," Pan Yang cursed.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, he entered the Disciplinary Hall with Liou Yuan, one after the other.
It was Liou Yuan’s first ti in the Disciplinary Hall, or rather, no one from the Five Extres Mountain willingly ca to this place.
The Disciplinary Hall, the most powerful hall in the Outer Sect of the Five Extres Mountain.
It was responsible for maintaining the sect rules, restraining disciples, dealing with external enemies, and executing punishnts.
Therefore, most disciples coming to the Disciplinary Hall were usually those who had committed offenses and were there to receive punishnt.
There were also a few disciples who proactively accepted tasks to capture dangerous individuals.
As previously ntioned, the Disciplinary Hall was responsible for dealing with external enemies.
Cultivators who committed heinous deeds in Jiuli State or the Jin Dynasty were docunted by the Disciplinary Hall, and relevant bounties were published.
The Disciplinary Hall had a special Law Enforcent Team to capture such individuals externally, but they were overwheld.
Thus, the sect was very willing to let its disciples accept these bounty tasks.
