Chapter 20 - Clan Competition Preparation Completion

After ten minutes, Ten disciples wearing decent robes with respectful expressions on their faces walked toward the house. As they saw Liu Xin, they immediately bowed down.

"I have brought them, brother." The burly disciples stepped forward and cupped his hands. "These are..."

He introduced every disciple. The lowest cultivation disciple was at the mid-qi refining level while the highest was at the peak of the foundation building level.

They were elites in the outer sect but in front of Liu Xin, they didn't even dare to look into his eyes. Liu Xin didn't care about their behaviour and nodded in satisfaction.

"I am here to provide you with a mission. The mission I provide is simple, however, the reward is generous. As you complete these rewards, you can choose any pill you want. Or spirit stones." He said.

Hearing that, the disciples were stunned.

Pills? Spirit Stones?

While they were outer sect disciples and have completed countless missions, every mission was life-threatening and difficult, the reward, however, wasn't worth the mission.

Pills, however, cost many merits points or spirit stones. But they need to at least complete 10 missions just to exchange for one.

Not to mention, spirit stones as rewards were rarer in the outer sect.

They instantly showed happy expressions.

"Please give us a mission, Brother Liu." They said politely.

He described his mission and separate them into two groups. One would be responsible for searching for books and news he needed, while others will be responsible for searching for materials, furnaces, spells, and more.

After that, he provided a single top-quality healing pill to everyone. As of now, he will be getting materials for alchemy from his master.

He decided to use this opportunity to refine more pills for him to distribute around so their loyalty towards him will increase. He didn't care about traitors or backstabbers as he had no enemies.

And, he won't be relying on them for important tasks. Not long later, he arrived in his room.

He then cultivated seriously. He didn't care about other things and only one thing reflected in his mind.

To become Strong.

He first comprehended other cultivation techniques. He then simulated countless battles against cunning foes in his brain. The technique they used was similar to what Leng Fei used and was mentioned in the books.

After an hour of cultivation, he heard the knocking. A beautiful maid handed him the alchemy materials and took her leave while Liu Xin refined the pill.

Well, his system did.

The next day, he went to the mountains. He again snuck out from the sect. He didn't need to increase his speed, however, what he needed was to increase his hand and leg movement.

He wasn't as agile and flexible as other cultivators as he rarely practised. So, he decided to go all out.

He first used a little bit of qi and climbed the straight mountain. That alone won't increase his speed.

He then stood in the middle of the mountain. He then exercises there. Not only he had to skillfully control his Qi not to fall, but he also had to properly exercise to increase his movement.

He also took out a bracelet that weighs a hundred kilos. As a Foundation building cultivator, one could easily lift a hundred kilos and the maximum was around a thousand.

The bracelet's maximum weight was 500, so he took out four and wore it.

Two on his wrist and two on his legs. The heavyweight nearly caused him to lose his balance. His move was heavy, and he had to climb up the mountain too.

His Qi was only on the sole, and he had to use his raw strength to endure the weight. As his foundation was top-notch, the weight wasn't too heavy for him.

But since this was the beginning, he didn't want to push himself too hard and get injured accidentally.

After an hour, he reached the top of the mountain, panting softly. He jumped from the mountain and landed on the ground slowly touching the grass.

This time, he ran up the mountain and reached the top in half an hour. After that, he placed his hands on the mountain and lifted his body.

His body straighten, and all his weight pushed onto his hands. He moved with the support of his hands, his body floating and it was too difficult.

He was moving upward with his hand, not only the weight but even circulating qi in his palm felt too difficult.

Sweats accumulated on his face, and it took two hours for him to reach the peak.

He panted heavily as his palm was red. He lay on the ground as he took a deep breath.

As he spent around four hours in the mountain, the sun had already reached the peak and blazing heat suffocated him.

He went to the sect and sneakily entered his room. Bathing, he changed his robe and provide the pills to the master before going to the training hall to continue training with Leng Fei.

After the training and sightly getting an advantage in his attack, he was going to find Huang Rui.

But suddenly, Wang Jing appeared in front of him. He remembered the words of Wang Feng.

"Here's the materials. The pill I want is the Excellent Poison Pill. I also have its pill formula, only a top alchemist can refine this mid-grade pill." She smiled brightly. "I hope, junior brother will complete in three days." She then left quietly again without waiting for Liu Xin's reply.

Liu Xin frowned but shook his head. After some minutes, he found Huang Rui.

"Senior Liu!" She was in high spirits. "I have gathered all the books, you wanted." She took out the books.

Glancing at it, Liu Xin store it in his storage ring and handed her a bottle of pills.

Her eyes lit as he smelled the sweet fragrance. She put the bottle in her pouch and bowed. "Any other instruction?"

"Not for now, but I want you to find me a forging technique, and forging materials for the sword."

"I will try my best, senior."

She walked away and Liu Xin downloaded all the data.

[Ding!]

He looked at the hologram with calm eyes.

[General Knowledge has levelled up]

[102 IQ --> 110 IQ]

[Effect: Processing new knowledge becomes easier]

He looked at the screen and widen his eyes before calming down and walking down his residence.

His lackeys hadn't returned so he returned to his room. He doubled his weight, circulated his qi and exercised.

Sweats accumulated, his breathing ragged and his control over his qi became smooth.

As he exercised, he was filled with sweat. After a full two hours of exercise, he had already found some results.

He can now more easily lift a thousand weight. He sighed and laid on the bed falling alseep.
