I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"Even for a Five-Star Star Acupoint, this speed is somewhat exaggerated."

It’s known that among the disciples of the same batch as Liou Yuan, the fastest Qiu Ming and Zhao Feiyue are still some distance away from the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation.

Liou Yuan’s speed is already undeniably the first among that batch of disciples.

"His Jade Tide Pure Water Swordsmanship is probably at Great Success. He is also proficient in Arrays, and his Body Technique is not weak."

Other disciples of the Wind Chasing Division began to list Liou Yuan’s skills.

They realized that in the entire Disciplinary Hall of the Fifth Peak, only Yan Yingsi could possibly compete with Liou Yuan.

Among these occurrences affecting other disciples, the Wind Chasing Division disciples are likely to be envious.

Yet, when thinking of Liou Yuan’s background, it seems to console the Wind Chasing Division disciples.

"After all, he is from the Ice Vein of the Liou Family, and there have always been geniuses from the Ice Vein, only surpassed by the Fog Vein in the past century."

The intelligence of the Wind Chasing Division is undoubtedly the most informed at the Five Extremes Mountain, secrets unknown to many Outer Sect disciples are not concealed from them.

Among the Wind Chasing Division disciples, there is a middle-aged man with the greatest seniority, who knows more secrets than others.

He murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear: "Golden Core bloodlines are indeed different from ordinary people."

Demon Cultivators fell one by one under Liou Yuan’s sword, and with each death, a wisp of black mist would float out from their bodies to be absorbed by the Disciplinary Hall disciple’s waist badge.

This detail naturally did not escape Liou Yuan’s keen eyes.

He then remembered what Mr. Tang told them before departure that killing Demon Cultivators would earn them merit points as a reward.

Counting carefully, thirty-four Demon Cultivators had fallen under Liou Yuan’s Shock Tide Swordsmanship.

The remaining ones were slain by Yan Yingsi.

"I’ve struck it rich!" Liou Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he fought even harder.

He decided to employ the Artifact Manipulation Celestial Calculation Spell and began competing with Yan Yingsi for the remaining Demon Cultivators.

Bang! The flying sword swept across the sky.

With the Artifact Manipulation Celestial Calculation Spell now capable of striking within two hundred zhang, the furthest fleeing Demon Cultivators could not escape the Canglan Sword’s kill.

In less than the burning of an incense stick, all Demon Cultivators who had infiltrated the demon lair were annihilated.

The corpses of Demon Cultivators lay scattered throughout the cave, blood flowed, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Liou Yuan and Yan Yingsi stood amidst the piles of corpses, covered in blood.

Their bodies exuded an almost tangible killing intent, cold and penetrating, intimidating the Wind Chasing Division disciples from daring to look directly into their eyes.

"Forty-one!" Liou Yuan muttered a number under his breath, which was the total number of Demon Cultivators he had slain.

All were late-stage Qi Cultivation Demon Cultivators, and the hundreds of merit points steadily filled his pockets.

"I’ve got the money to forge a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact now!" Liou Yuan thought with delight.

Bu Moying had given him a Luminous Illusion Crystal to create a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact.

But the other materials and the cost of hiring Artifact Refiners were still up to Liou Yuan to find, which he had been worrying about; now everything was resolved at once.

"Returning it to you!"

While Liou Yuan was immersed in the dream of his Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact.

Yan Yingsi’s voice rang out, and the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet, previously given by Liou Yuan to her, was tossed back to him.

It turned out her earlier statement about not returning it was just a silly mischief, not truly coveting Liou Yuan’s Magical Artifact.

"You’re welcome." Liou Yuan took the Cold Star and Moonlight Bracelet, put it on his wrist, and subconsciously said a sarcastic remark.

Yan Yingsi didn’t mind, and with a blood-stained face, she gazed at Liou Yuan and said, "This time, being able to annihilate all the Demon Cultivators in the demon lair was all because of your array skills and the Elixir you used earlier."

"I’ll report this truthfully, and you’ll be credited; wait to be rewarded."

All courteous words are incomparable to the tangible deal.

After listening, Liou Yuan felt utterly relieved and secretly thought: "With the profound heritage of Five Extremes Mountain, surely they wouldn’t be stingy; this trip is going to be highly profitable."

Unfortunately, the objects carried by the Demon Cultivators are almost useless to orthodox cultivators.

Liou Yuan coldly glanced over the cave space filled with Demon Cultivator corpses, regrettably pouting, "Maybe their Star Stones are useful, and if I’m lucky, I might find some Elixirs, Artifact Refining materials, and such."

Thinking to this extent, Liou Yuan wasn’t bothered by the disgust toward the Demon Cultivators’ corpses and began collecting the storage bags from the bodies one by one.

During this process, Liou Yuan glanced sideways at Yan Yingsi and found she was only watching and had no intention of competing for the Demon Cultivators’ storage bags with him.

She was probably well-off like Zhao Feiyue and didn’t care for these things.

Of course, the main reason was that Yan Yingsi clearly understood that the complete annihilation of Demon Cultivators in the demon lair was primarily credited to Liou Yuan.

The array he set up and the Spirit Extinction Elixir he used in battle were the keys to reversing the situation.

These Demon Cultivators’ possessions would serve as compensation for Liou Yuan’s effort.

"Guess this woman does have a conscience," Liou Yuan was secretly delighted.

"It’s over!" Within the Earth Mother Prison Array, all the Wind Chasing Division disciples witnessing the massacre process finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Trapped in the demon lair for several days, they were already exhausted, and just when those seated at the array’s core were about to move their bodies.

Whoosh! A lump of black round object suddenly flew from the depths of the cave passage, tracing an arc before falling onto the ground, filled with Demon Cultivator corpses.

The sudden change immediately halted the steps of the Wind Chasing Division disciples, who were about to leave the array’s core.

Liou Yuan, who was gathering Demon Cultivator storage bags, also frowned and immediately turned his gaze toward the round object.

The round object rolled twice across the bloodstained ground, finally resting on the edge of a pile of Demon Cultivator corpses, revealing its true form.

It was a human head, with a scar across the entire right eye socket on the owner’s face.

Before dying, he seemed to have witnessed something horrifying, with his facial features still frozen in terror.

His eyes held the unwillingness before death.
