CHAPTER 13: The Cultivation World (Major Cultivation)
After continuously running through the wilderness for over a hundred miles, Liu Yu finally entered the range of the Yuan Yang Sect's mountain gate as dawn broke.
At this moment, Liu Yu completely relaxed.
He thought for a moment, then reached into his storage bag to take out the Cold Light Sword.
This standard magical artifact issued by the sect had several noticeable cracks, large and small, all over the blade, giving it a shocking appearance.
The spiritual light was dim, and its power greatly reduced, making it entirely unusable for battle.
"This should be its last flight," Liu Yu thought, feeling a strange twinge of sadness in his heart.
He infused his magical power into the sword and threw it in front of him. The Cold Light Sword quickly enlarged, and he gently leaped onto it.
He urged this flying sword, which had accompanied him for two years, for its final flight towards Greenwood Peak.
Soaring several dozen Zhang above the ground, the cold wind blew against him.
As he looked at both familiar and unfamiliar scenery, Liu Yu's mind gradually calmed down.
The duel of magic he had just experienced lasted less than half a tea's worth of time from start to finish.
But for him, it was enough to be heart-stopping!
Although he had forced himself to remain calm during the fight, he was still filled with apprehension afterward.
In this life and the previous one, this was Liu Yu's first time killing someone.
In his past life, in a society ruled by law, he had been just a small office worker, usually only engaging in "keyboard output."
In this life, he was an ordinary outer sect disciple, spending most of his time practicing and studying.
He never expected that his first duel of magic would come so suddenly!
Liu Yu thought he had been careful enough, but it turned out he was still targeted.
This deepened his understanding of the dangers in the cultivation world.
It also gave Liu Yu a sense of urgency to enhance his strength.
Only by having enough power could he protect himself and avoid threats to his life!
…
Three hours later, Liu Yu returned to Greenwood Peak.
Seeing a sound transmission talisman floating in front of his cave dwelling, blocked by a restriction, he reached out to take it down.
He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and realized it was a sound transmission talisman sent by "Shang Shuanjiang."
The gist of the message was that on the fifteenth of this month, he was invited to Preaching Peak to listen to their Shishu lecture on foundation establishment.
Shang Shuanjiang was his full name. The two had met during a sect mission and often arranged to listen to lectures together, making him one of Liu Yu's most familiar brothers in the sect.
Casually taking out a sound transmission talisman, Liu Yu moved his lips to acknowledge the invitation and tossed it gently into the air, turning it into a stream of light flying away.
After retrieving his token to open the restriction, he stepped into the cave dwelling, sitting beside a stone table and first taking a few gulps from his water flask.
Only then did he have the mind to examine his "spoils."
He opened the storage bag of the scarred face cultivator and poured its contents onto the table, revealing several items.
These included a thick, old black leather book, several low-grade magical artifacts of different styles, a delicate small compass, three jade vials, and several articles of women's clothing.
Finally, there were dozens of spiritual stones, among which one stood out.
This was a fire attribute spiritual stone, emitting a much richer spiritual energy fluctuation than the low-grade spiritual stones, its surface color also deeper.
It was deep red, slightly translucent, resembling the medium-grade spiritual stones described in the texts.
"Medium-grade spiritual stone."
Liu Yu looked at the items on the table, unable to help but marvel at the wealth of the scarred face cultivator; indeed, one could kill and commit arson for a golden belt!
He speculated that those low-grade magical artifacts were obtained through the cultivator's murders and plundering.
