BLACK ROCK CITY
Wei Yuan walked inside the city after he showed that he was a disciple of the Tranquil Dragon Sect. It was night time and Wei Yuan wanted to sleep, thus he visited the same inn again. The administrator gave him the same keys and he walked inside the same room. Wei Yuan wanted to sleep, but he remembered something. The wines inside his storage ring! He quickly grabbed one of the more expensive and poured a glass.
"Hmm, the wine of my family is not this good, but it was still too expensive."
Wei Yuan tried the wines one by one and found out that he really liked one of the cheaper ones. He walked back to the wine shop that night to buy a lot of wine. The owner of the shop gladly gave him the wines. Cultivators can bring a lot of profit since all of them are rich compared to mortals. Cultivators can't get drunk due to their strong organs. Wei Yuan drank through the night and only slept for two hours as a result.
The first rays of the sun shone trough the window two hours later. Wei Yuan opened his eyes and put on his clothes. It's time to leave the city. He didn't forget to drink a jug of wine before he left. The way towards the sect was uneventful. Wei Yuan ran without stopping and became very tired. He reached the gates of the sect 2 days later.
Wei Yuan didn't know that the sect was thrown into chaos due to horrible news. An unknown cultivator killed countless disciples from the five great sects. No one knew the whereabouts of this cultivator or how this cultivator looked like because no one lived to tell the tale. The sect master of the Tranquil Dragon sect suspected the Wei Yuan was the one behind the massacre, but he decided to keep it in himself in the end.
There was no evidence and accusing someone with serial killing is no joke. Most of the disciples were from another sect anyways. This event only boosted the strength of the Tranquil Dragon sect because most of the killed disciples were from another great sect. Thus, the sect master would keep this a secret even if Wei Yuan did it.
Wei Yuan walked inside the mission hall and finally completed his mission. The elder widened his eyes when he saw Wei Yuan.
"Y-you what...what did you do. You reached Core formation stage?!"
Wei Yuan knew that this going to happen when he enters the mission hall. "Don't be that surprised Elder Feng, I suppressed my cultivation. I don't have to fear sneak attacks this way right?"
Elder Feng wouldn't believe if others were to say this, but Wei Yuan was another case. The elder knew that Wei Yuan was very wary. He just sighed and accepted the completed mission.
"I don't know what you did on your "mission", but you probably heard the news about the massacre. Someone killed everyone on the wastelands. One of our disciples found a lot of beheaded corpses there 2 days ago. I wonder if you have anything to do with this?"
Wei Yuan was surprised. He was surprised because the elder asked him directly without sugarcoating. Of course he won't admit it even if the elders wanted to accuse him.
"Yes, I heard the news when I was in Black Rock city. They said that someone massacred the disciples from the five great sects. Seems like it was true."
"Yes it's true, but you didn't answer my question Wei Yuan. I ask you again. Do you have anything to do with the massacre?" The elder looked at Wei Yuan with a determined, penetrating gaze. He wanted to intimidate Wei Yuan this way because this always worked on other disciples.
"How can you even say this elder Feng? I'm only Core formation first stage. I can't kill everyone on the wastelands, even if I wanted to do it."
It was true. A normal Core formation stage cultivator can't kill so many other Core formation stage disciples. It was impossible even if the cultivator was unique. Elder Feng knew this, but he didn't know that Wei Yuan successfully created his new unique techniques and transformed his body into something new.
Elder Feng just dropped the matter in the end, he won't gain anything with this. Wei Yuan accepted the reward for the mission and left. He still got one day left till the fight with Yao Yunmeng and he decided to practice his skill somewhere. The forest area of the mountain was the perfect place for this.
Wei Yuan made his way towards his meditating place. It was the edge of the cliff. He can throw attacks anywhere in this place and try new things without worrying about exposing himself. He wanted to try a new attack this time.
Wei Yuan started to compress the Qi into a ball and added the elements after that. Fire, water, lightning, metal.. Every element one by one. He wanted to created a super big explosion. The Qi ball on his palm got compressed even more and started shining in a transparent, white color. Wei Yuan quickly dispersed the Qi on his palm after he saw that the ball is uncontrollable.
This technique is too dangerous for now, but that doesn't mean that this technique is useless. He can improve his Qi control this way. The only bad thing about this is the high Qi consumption. He needed to use almost all of the Qi from his newly formed core. Core formation stage cultivators can use refined Qi and Wei Yuan needed this Qi in order to safely use this technique. Nothing like his other techniques where he can steal Qi from the air.
Wei Yuan used the rest of the day to train his other new techniques. He tried to make an invisible finger blade, but it was harder than he thought. The Qi fluctuations remained even if he made the blade colorless.
