The next day, after getting up from bed, he pondered for a moment, looking at the five Low-Grade Spirit Stones on the bed.
“If I exchange these five Low-Grade Spirit Stones for a Cultivation Technique, I’ll only have four Low-Grade Spirit Stones left. If I equip a Cultivation Technique, Qi Training Fifth Level will be enough.”
Ye Lin muttered, then put away the five Low-Grade Spirit Stones in front of him and walked out the door.
As soon as Ye Lin stepped out, he saw Zhang Liang standing in the distance, surrounded by several Utility Disciples.
The veteran Utility Disciples were all shrewd; even if a Utility Captain wanted to exploit them, it would take some effort.
However, the newly arrived Utility Disciples were the best free labor for these Utility Captains, so they would always come to order these Utility Disciples to do this and that.
Ye Lin glanced at them and then ignored them; it was clear that Zhang Liang was once again calling for free labor.
“I wonder who would win if I were to confront Zhang Liang now.”
Ye Lin muttered. Zhang Liang was at Qi Training Stage - Level 3, and so was he. Although he could be ambushed and killed by Zhang Liang, that was an ambush. However, he was more likely to lose, as Zhang Liang was already a veteran Qi Training Stage - Level 3 expert.
But the next moment, a transparent panel suddenly appeared before Ye Lin’s eyes.
Name: Zhang Liang
Cultivation: Qi Training Stage - Level 3
Fate: White (Incomplete)
Destiny: 【Ordinary Luck】 【Astonishing Blade Art】
Fate: Six months later, he followed an Outer Sect Disciple down the mountain to eliminate demons, but was unexpectedly drained of all his essence blood by a Qi Training Fifth Level evil demon and died.
Recent Opportunity: After gathering the last of his points tonight, he will go to the Scripture Pavilion to select a Cultivation Technique. By chance, he will discover the Xuan Grade Low-Rank Cultivation Technique, Star Art, under the third cabinet. From then on, his strength will greatly increase, and he will Breakthrough the Qi Refining Fourth Level, which had troubled him for ten years.
【Astonishing Blade Art】: Has a unique comprehension of the blade, progressing rapidly in the Dao of the blade.
【Ordinary Luck】: Average Luck, slightly higher than ordinary people.
Looking at Zhang Liang’s Opportunity, Ye Lin sighed with emotion. Opportunities came one after another for him, but what about himself? He had nothing.
Fate was indeed a good thing.
However, upon seeing his Destiny, Ye Lin’s expression changed.
His original ‘Slightly Lucky’ had turned into ‘Ordinary Luck.’ Perhaps this was Zhang Liang’s only remaining Opportunity.
“It seems that plundering another person’s Opportunity is equivalent to plundering their Luck,” Ye Lin muttered.
Luck, a seemingly ethereal thing, yet it genuinely existed. A person’s life and death, the rise and fall of a Dynasty Sect, were all closely related to it.
“Very good, your Opportunity is now mine,” Ye Lin thought to himself, then headed straight for the Scripture Pavilion.
A Xuan Grade Low-Rank Cultivation Technique.
One must know that Qingyun Sect, as the dominant Sect within a radius of ten thousand li, only possessed one Profound Rank Middle Grade Cultivation Technique.
Arriving at the Scripture Pavilion, Ye Lin looked up at the antique pavilion, which was over ten meters high, and admired it inwardly.
Then he lifted his foot and walked forward.
“What are you doing?”
At this moment, a person walked out from the door of the Scripture Pavilion. This person was dressed in luxurious clothes and was extremely arrogant.
“Senior Brother, I’ve come to choose a Cultivation Technique.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu was stunned. Dressed in the clothes of a Utility Disciple, coming to choose a Cultivation Technique? Was he mistaken?
“Show me your token so I can see your points.”
Zhao Hu held out his hand to Ye Lin. Generally, the points given to Utility Disciples for their work were all stored in their tokens.
“Senior Brother, I heard that Spirit Stones can also be exchanged for points, right?”
At this moment, Ye Lin took out five Low-Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Zhao Hu. Seeing the Spirit Stones in Ye Lin’s hand, Zhao Hu frowned. How could a mere Utility Disciple have Spirit Stones?
However, he didn’t think too much about it. Although newly admitted Utility Disciples were Mortals, there might be a few with backgrounds.
“Alright, what’s your name?”
Zhao Hu put away the Spirit Stones, took out a notebook, and asked Ye Lin.
“Ye Lin.”
“Alright, go in. Remember, you only have the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn. Take what you need and come out quickly.”
After registering, Zhao Hu urged him.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Ye Lin nodded, then stepped into the Scripture Pavilion.
Upon entering, what met his eyes were rows of wooden cabinets, on which were placed various Cultivation Techniques. All these Cultivation Techniques were Yellow Rank Low Grade Cultivation Techniques.
As for more Advanced Cultivation Techniques, they were in the Inner Sect’s Scripture Pavilion, which he was not yet qualified to access.
Ye Lin went directly to the third cabinet, then squatted down and reached in to fumble around. The next moment, Ye Lin’s eyes lit up.
Looking at the slightly yellowed book in his hand, Ye Lin’s eyes narrowed, and he slowly opened the book.
“Why is it Fierce Tiger Art? Something’s not right.”
Ye Lin muttered. The next moment, Ye Lin placed the Cultivation Technique in his hand upright on the ground, then gently patted it. Sure enough, with a crisp sound, a hidden compartment fell out from within the book.
“It’s done.”
Seeing this, Ye Lin was overjoyed. He then put the hidden compartment back in its original place and walked out the door with the book.
“Senior Brother, I’ve made my selection.”
Looking at Zhao Hu, who was meditating at the door, Ye Lin said.
“Hmm, according to Sect rules, you only have one month to comprehend the Cultivation Technique. After one month, you must return it as is, and it must not be leaked. Otherwise, not only will you die, but even the people in the place where you originally lived will die. Do you understand?”
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, Ye Lin nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed, then he walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.
Name: Zhao Hu
Cultivation: Qi Training Fifth Level
Fate: White (Unremarkable)
Destiny: None (Unremarkable, no highlights)
Fate: By chance, he discovered the secret of an Inner Sect Elder and was ultimately killed by the Inner Sect Elder.
Recent Opportunity: Four days later, after staying at Qi Training Fifth Level for a year, he felt extremely depressed. So, he went to Clear Wave Lake to relax. As he was about to swim in the lake, he discovered a Yellow Rank High Grade longsword at the bottom of the lake. From then on, his combat power greatly increased, allowing him to fight at Qi Cultivation Sixth Level.
Ye Lin walked towards his residence while looking at the panel in front of him. That’s right, this panel was Zhao Hu’s panel.
“A Yellow Rank High Grade longsword? However, if I obtain a Yellow Rank High Grade longsword, my combat power will greatly increase by then.”
“During the Outer Sect competition half a month later, I will definitely be able to crush Zhang Liang.”
Ye Lin muttered, then arrived at his residence. After closing the doors and windows, he took out the Star Art and began to comprehend it bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. Ye Lin closed the Cultivation Technique in his hand. After half a day of comprehension, he finally understood it, thanks to his extraordinary Comprehension Ability.
Then he took out the remaining four Spirit Stones and began to Cultivate.
Cultivation time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, two days flashed by.
“Whew, not bad.”
Looking at the absorbed Spirit Stone, Ye Lin exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. With the help of the Cultivation Technique, it was indeed twice the result with half the effort. All the Spiritual Qi was absorbed efficiently, without wasting a single bit.
During his Cultivation, Zhang Liang had not bothered him again. There were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, Utility Disciples who had entered the Qingyun Sect. These Utility Captains would definitely take turns.
If they were to target a group of people and push them to their limits, it might cause unrest. At that time, they would not gain any benefits and would instead cause a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, they were all preparing for the Grand Competition half a month later and did not have time to pay much attention to others.
Only by solidifying their own positions would they have plenty of time in the future.
