“Vitality pills?”
The attribute panel did not come with any storage space.
Yang Yi fumbled around inside his pocket, and sure enough, there was a jade bottle!
He was shocked.
Vitality pills were consumed by Bone Refining martial artists when they reach the Strength Entry realm. It was helpful for the production of the force.
Its value was self-evident, but to Yang Yi, it was a hot potato.
The nearest pill room was inside the Harmony Court, one of the nine Inner Courts.
If pills were lost from the Harmony Court, it would definitely cause a stir. If he was dragged into this somehow….
“I’m going out for some fresh air.”
Yang Yi quickly jumped down from the bed, pushed the door open, and left.
“Dump your junk further away, you hear me?” Zhou Yan’s grumbled behind him.
There was a light breeze and the moon was bright. The shadows of the trees in the mountain forest overlapped.
Yang Yi ran for several miles before making a mark at the spot where he buried the vitality pills.
After all, it was a good item. If there was no disturbance in the Harmony Court after some time, he could dig it out again.
On the way back to the general courtyard, Yang Yi ran to the stream to wipe his body down. He did not open the jade vial at all, and he made sure that he did not smell like medicinal pills.
“Let’s look for it together.”
As soon as he returned to the general courtyard, he saw many general disciples put on their clothes and hurried out.
Yang Yi saw Zhou Yan. He approached him to ask about the situation.
“While you were using the toilet, news came in from the Harmony Court. They said that there was a thief. The vitality pills Little Senior Sister Zhuang Chenglu cultivated disappeared without a trace. Everyone is helping to look for it now. Who do you think is so bold to dare to steal from one of the Inner Courts?”
This was the first time Zhou Yan had encountered such an absurd matter.
“Do you think that it’s one of Little Senior Sister’s admirers?”
“Who knows…”
Yang Yi felt guilty.
“Are you coming? Little Senior Sister said that whoever finds the pills or provides clues about this incident will be rewarded.”
“Okay.”
They searched for a while like headless chickens.
Yang Yi then gave an excuse and went back to his room to sleep. He knew that they would never find it, so he did not want to waste his time.
The next morning, Yang Yi woke up early as usual and sat cross-legged in the courtyard to cultivate.
The Qixia sect was built among the Sunset Mountains. On a clear morning, there would be red clouds coming from the east.
By cultivating the Crimson Afterglow Technique at this time, he could master it better.
He had a poor aptitude, but he kept cultivating hard every day.
If he improved too quickly, the others would be suspicious of him.
“I’ll have to rely on my attribute panel if I want to break through.”
Yang Yi knew his own ability well, and he did not shun it. This was an opportunity that belonged to him.
Host: Yang Yi
Realm: Skin Refining (273/300)
Spirit accumulation points: 0
Learned martial arts: Crimson Afterglow Technique
Pending martial arts: None
Number of scans: 1
Yang Yi stared at the big zero of his spirit accumulation points.
He had to think of a way to obtain spirit accumulation points.
If he relied on the automatic feedback of his martial arts, it would only happen once a day. It was too slow.
“What do the number of scans mean?”
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood. Spiritual accumulation points were hidden in the natural environment. The amount of spiritual accumulation points varied from place to place. He could rely on the scans to ascertain the distribution of spiritual accumulation points in the vicinity.
“Scan!” Yang Yi chanted.
A map painted with ink slowly unfolded before him.
It showed the Sunset Mountains with the Qixia sect at the center.
“Does the intensity of the ink’s color have anything to do with the amount of spiritual accumulation points?”
Although there was no explanation, Yang Yi guessed that this was highly possible.
He focused his eyes on the training field. The ink was dark.
His task today was to clean up the training field. It was just the right time for him to go over and check it out.
He went to the kitchen and took two pancakes. He left one in the room for Zhou Yan and rushed to the training field.
There were already quite a few disciples training there.
Their shouts rang out in the air.
Looking at their light blue uniform, he could tell that they were outer disciples.
Outer disciples had cultivation bases at the Body Tempering stage. Only those who had broken through to the Strength Entry realm were qualified to be selected by the nine Inner Courts.
Only those who entered the Inner Courts were considered true disciples of the Qixia sect. The others, like Yang Yi, could only say that offered their money or service to the sect, and were given some benefits in return.
“Spiritual accumulation points detected in the vicinity. Do you wish to collect them?”
A notification appeared in front of Yang Yi as he was cleaning up.
“Collect!”
He gritted his teeth.
“Congratulations on collecting 20 spiritual accumulation points!”
“Congratulations on collecting 15 spiritual accumulation points!”
“Congratulations on collecting 17 spiritual accumulation points!”
…
“You’ve reached the upper limit for spirit accumulation points collection today..”
It took him 15 minutes.
Messages kept popping up before Yang Yi.
He checked his attribute panel and found that he had collected a total of 100 spirit accumulation points.
“Is this my daily limit?”
When he pulled out the ink map scroll, the tone of the training field had faded somewhat, but it was still considered dark. Obviously, there were still a lot of spirit accumulation points hidden here, but he had already used up his collection quota for the day.
“That’s enough. This is equivalent to 10 days of cultivating the Crimson Afterglow Technique. If a special event is triggered, it might be even higher!”
He had less than 30 experience points to go. He wondered if there was a possibility of a breakthrough today.
Yang Yi licked his lips. He was feeling impatient, but he restrained himself and waited until he returned to his room at night.
He worked hard to clean up the area under his charge. At noon, he and Zhou Yan sat under a tree near the stone steps to rest.
“Yesterday, Zhao Heng of the Li Bamboo Court challenged Liu Yang, the First Senior Brother of the Dao Yang Court. In the end, he lost by one move and almost lost the tendons of his hands,” Zhou Yan gossiped.
Yang Yi paused and recalled the feedback from the Crimson Afterglow Technique yesterday. He guessed that it might have watched this match.
“Senior Brother Liu Yang is the number one inner disciple. He only won by one move?” he said in surprise.
“Of course. Zhao Heng has only been in the Inner Courts for less than a year, and he obviously has talent, but he is arrogant and has caused a lot of trouble. This time, it was thanks to the master of the Li Bamboo Court that he wasn’t ruthlessly killed by Senior Brother Liu Yang.”
Zhou Yan clicked his tongue and took a bite of the green vegetable.
Seeing that they were resting here, the other general disciples came over to chat.
As they were all at the bottom of the sect hierarchy, they naturally grouped together. The atmosphere was harmonious.
However, part of the reason they came over was because Yang Yi and Zhou Yan’s families were better off.
Their chores in the afternoon were demanding, but Yang Yi had already gotten used to it.
When evening came, it was finally time to rest.
Zhou Yan and a few others met up at the training field to spar.
Yang Yi gave an excuse and returned to the general courtyard. He closed the door and sat on his bed.
“Feedback on the Crimson Afterglow Technique, five times!”
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has improved after a day of painstaking cultivation. Experience +1.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has improved after a day of painstaking cultivation. Experience +1.]
…
He received one experience point from each feedback report. No special events were triggered.
Yang Yi was not discouraged. This was much faster than his own cultivation.
Having a little improvement was better than triggering a negative effect.
“Five more times!”
Yang Yi used up all the spirit accumulation points he had collected.
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has improved after a day of painstaking cultivation. Experience +1.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has encountered a bottleneck. No progress was made. Experience +0.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique is sparring on the training field. One versus three. Experience +2.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique was feeling rebellious. It went out to play for a day. Experience +0.]
