But since he ca from the Two Realms and hoarded resources, there were few in the sa realm who could match him!
"Jiang, ten days from now, I planned to head back into the Underground Abyss, would you like to co with ?"
As they drew closer and closer to the teleportation great array, Lu Qingling’s nerves finally relaxed a little. She turned to Jiang Shu and couldn’t help but ask. In the Underground Abyss, Jiang Shu’s performance had truly been dazzling—his fierce strength and desperate fighting could almost rival half an Outer Disciple.
"Let’s do things like last ti, you block the evil spirits’ spiritual power, and you can absorb a portion of it."
"Thank you so much, Senior Sister Lu."
Jiang Shu withdrew his attention, looked up, and smiled.
Inner Sect Disciple, Primordial Pill Realm—that was still way out of his reach. What he needed to do now was just one thing, break through his realm, condense True Fire, and advance to becoming an Outer Disciple!
When Lu Qingling and her group arrived at the teleportation great array, it seed Yuan Xuan and his people had already gotten there early. Of the ten or so servant disciples they had brought down, three had perished, and just about all the remaining ones carried serious injuries. anwhile, Yuan Xuan was gripping a chain, and at the end of the chain was a snake-woman, fully bound and utterly tempting.
"Senior Sister Lu, looks like you hauled in quite a haul this ti."
His lips curled up, Yuan Xuan spoke in a sinister tone. Clearly, he hadn’t forgotten Lu Qingling’s scorn for him before entering the Underground Abyss.
"I could never compare to you, Yuan. Instead of suppressing and killing evil creatures, you go and capture a snake-woman."
Lu Qingling’s voice grew even colder. Once her words landed, she turned her head away, as if to say even a single extra word was too much bother.
There were many unique creatures deep in the Underground Abyss. The snake-won were one of them, and compared to the other, more powerful beings, snake-won were highly intelligent. If tad properly, they could bring a level of pleasure completely different from a human woman. As a result, in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities, there were always so disciples from great powers who preferred this taste.
Every auction, there would always be snake-won up for grabs.
"Appetite is human nature, Senior Sister Lu. Why look down on so much? Besides, doesn’t your team have a pretty boy, too?"
Not missing Lu Qingling’s emotional shift, Yuan Xuan ignored it completely and spoke mockingly. In his eyes, Jiang Shu being able to walk away from the dangerous Underground Abyss without a scratch was clearly thanks to Lu Qingling’s protection.
*You had to know, even Ye Huang went through a number of dangers on this trip. If he hadn’t been alert and made several moves, there’s no way Ye Huang could have gotten off without so serious injuries right now.*
"Pretty boy?"
Looking at Yuan Xuan’s smug face, Lu Qingling suddenly felt it was funny. *Probably, Yuan Xuan didn’t realize the ’pretty boy’ he ntioned possessed such terrifying potential.* Letting out a cold laugh, Lu Qingling didn’t bother to respond further. She simply took out her Identity Jade and began applying for the teleportation array activation.
"Ye, this ti, I’ll explain to the steward about your fierce performance in the Underground Abyss and try to get you twenty-five contribution points."
Popping Ye Huang on the shoulder, Yuan Xuan also pulled out his Identity Jade and spoke in an intentionally loud voice; usually, these missions only awarded fifteen contribution points.
He said it to hype up Ye Huang and make that pretty boy feel unbalanced inside.
But what disappointed him was that Jiang Shu, among the other female disciples, didn’t show the slightest change of emotion.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan. This ti, you really showed divine power and let us see what Outer Disciples are made of..."
Ye Huang was born royal, so he obviously picked up on the hidden ssage and played along with Yuan Xuan. Finishing, he gave what seed like a casual glance at Jiang Shu and said, "Jiang, we all ca out of the Hundred Dynasties Battle. Why don’t you join us next ti we head down to the Underground Abyss? If you put on a good show, you can earn quite a few contribution points too."
"After all, we just entered the Sect, and every single contribution point is invaluable. You better think about it carefully."
On the teleportation array, lights surged, and it was obviously about to activate. Yet just as Ye Huang was waiting to see how Jiang Shu would respond, the three Outer Sect female disciples beside Lu Qingling spoke up first, their beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Shu:
"Jiang, I make the best osmanthus cake, don’t rush back to Chores Peak after we return, I’ll bring it to your place."
"Jiang, during the ten-day break, if you want to co hang out at the Outer Sect, let show you around."
"Jiang, don’t spend those contribution points carelessly. If you need any elixirs, I still have a few Pure Essence Pills left."
"Jiang, see you in ten days."
The servant female disciples nearby had witnessed this scenario a million tis already, so they were used to it. But Yuan Xuan’s servant disciples were visibly shaken, their excitent turning to shock.
When had Outer Disciples ever treated a servant disciple like this!
Let alone, the ones speaking now were all gorgeous Furnace Fire Realm female cultivators!
"Thank you, Senior Sisters, I appreciate it, but I really don’t need anything lately..."
A pillar of light shot into the sky, swallowing up the dozen or so of them and sending them back to the Outer Sect.
Watching Jiang Shu, laughing it up with the Outer Sect female disciples, finally turn into a streak of light and vanish from the Outer Sect,
Yuan Xuan’s brow furrowed deeply. Now, he couldn’t deny he’d misjudged him. This servant disciple was absolutely no ordinary person.
Furnace Fire Realm disciples carried pride. Treating a servant disciple this way could only an he had a formidable background and outstanding talent!
After everyone dispersed, he turned to the still-present Ye Huang and asked, "Who the hell is that kid, really?"
"Nobody special, just from an ordinary mid-tier dynasty, but during the last Hundred Dynasties Battle, he lucked out and robbed of my opportunity."
*Ye Huang forced himself to take several deep breaths, pushing the anger down.* His face twisted with venom as he spoke. With those Outer Sect female disciples all showing Jiang Shu such enthusiasm, his own mocking words only left him feeling like he’d punched a pillow, with nowhere to let out his rage.
"Anyway, what matters in the Sect is real strength. For contribution points, I beat him. For cultivation speed, I’ve got the Original Mind Lotus Platform Skill! I got access to Spirit Rank techniques earlier, I cultivate faster—what’s he got to match ?"
"By the ti I’m still an Outer Disciple, he’ll still be just so lowly servant disciple!"
Ye Huang’s voice grew more and more resolute. In his eyes, Jiang Shu was just lucky, and at most had the sa level of talent as Yue Baxian.
*In the Sect, he would surpass them step by step, looking down from a height they could only dream of for the rest of their lives.*
"Alright, so long as you’re confident, Ye. But that kid’s no ordinary one; if you need to, let know. With watching your back, your cultivation as an Outer Disciple is bound to go much smoother."
"But leave it be for now. Right now, I’m fully focused on charging up the Divine Skills Rankings."
Thinking of Ye Jiankong’s might, Yuan Xuan’s brow relaxed. *No matter how talented that servant disciple was, in front of Ye Jiankong, he was just a slightly stronger ant—not worth worrying about.*
"Anyway, use this ti to cultivate well. If you want to relax a little, co with to the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities and auction off this snake-woman. I’ll let you see the prosperity there, too."
"The Sect may be powerful, but it’s still a place for rigorous cultivation. If you want to have fun, there’s no way it compares to cities that outshine even the most flourishing dynasties."
"Think I’m exaggerating? Think just because you ca from a top dynasty, you’ve seen it all? Do you know the biggest difference between the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities and any dynasty?"
"It’s the quantity and quality of Martial Artists! In a dynasty, an Acupoint Passage Realm is already a genius, but in the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities, with enough money, never mind Acupoint Passage—soone at Detachnt Realm will play the flute for your beauties."
It had been almost five months since the Hundred Dynasties Battle, and most of that ti was spent endlessly cultivating. Ye Huang was tired. Hearing this, his eyes lit up and he said, "I’ll go with whatever you plan, Senior Brother Yuan!"
