"Liang Brother, your speed of advancement is really quite astonishing!" He Zhiqing walked to Liang Yi and sized him up and down. Goodness, how much time has passed since they first met, and this chap has already jumped to mid-Fourth Realm?
If Su Youyi is the youngest across all realms, then Liang Yi must be the fastest to break through the realms in history, right? Taoist Sect is truly full of talents!
To be honest, I am indeed envious.
"Ah, it's nothing special, all thanks to the teachings of our Master!" Liang Yi modestly responded, as usual.
"The speed of Senior Brother's breakthrough puts too much pressure on me." Su Youyi pouted and clung to Liang Yi's arm, always feeling that in no time Senior Brother would surpass her.
"We need to become stronger quickly; can't you feel that Devouring Spirit Sect is constantly causing trouble?"
"That's true." Su Youyi lowered her head in thought and agreed, but the next second her attention shifted to Yu Gejing.
"Sister Yu, why do I feel like your complexion looks much better?"
Previously, although Yu Gejing's face was pale, it was that somewhat sickly pale of the Jiangnan Water Town women.
But this time, after seeing Sister Yu, Su Youyi noticed her complexion was much more rosy; she looked radiant and full of youth and vitality.
"Eh? Really?" Yu Gejing, hearing Su Youyi's comment, smiled joyously. She touched her own cheek and asked He Zhiqing, although she had already noticed the change in her complexion herself; it's just that no one had mentioned it.
"Um... I haven't really noticed." He Zhiqing actually took a serious look before slowly shaking his head, indicating that he hadn't noticed any significant change.
"..." Su Youyi and Liang Yi, even the orange Grandpa on Liang Yi's shoulder, were all exasperated by He Zhiqing's response.
Should we say, as expected of you, Senior Brother!
"I think Sister Yu's complexion indeed looks much better." Seeing Sister Yu's somewhat stiff expression and Senior Brother's serious face, Liang Yi quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"This is because my father performed a reverse destiny ritual for me a month ago; according to him, it was his most perfect divination ever because this time not only did he see the future, he personally changed it." Yu Gejing imitated her father's demeanor and recounted Fang Zhi's words to Liang Yi and others.
And upon hearing this, Grandpa Orange sneered slightly, thinking, had I not noticed the changes in the Heavenly Destiny last month and intervened, do you think it would have gone so smoothly?
Although he is no longer the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao himself, as a cat who has overseen the Heavenly Dao, he still has the right to intervene.
But such matters are better left unsaid; he hasn't even informed Liang Yi, as Grandpa Orange likes to do good deeds without leaving a name.
"This is the Starless Heaven Sword Technique that Sect Master Fang asked me to transfer to you, consider it a form of compensation." He Zhiqing took out a jade tube from his ring and handed it to Liang Yi.
Liang Yi held the jade tube and sensed it, and his skill panel responded immediately.
"Ding! Do you want to learn the Orange Skill[Starless Heaven Sword Technique]?"
"Learn!"
Liang Yi also flipped through the mission panel, and sure enough, shortly after he secluded himself, he received a notification of task completion[The Right Way to Use a Euro King].
And half a month ago, most of the beta testers had already completed missions and joined Purple Cloud Sect, and in the past few days, public testers also began to massively choose Purple Cloud Sect.
From half a month ago, the experience values entering Liang Yi's account were terrifying! Within just a few days, he had already replenished all the experience points he had used up and even had a surplus.
Now that his junior sister has come out of seclusion, and he's finished the tasks he needed to do here, there's no need to stay and seclude in another sect's territory. He decided to let those experience values accumulate and wait for a massive level-up later.
"Where is Sect Master Fang, then?" Liang Yi curiously asked.
"Father is currently busy competing with your Purple Cloud Sect for the Abnormal People!" Mentioning this, Yu Gejing looked a little upset at Liang Yi, leaving him quite baffled.
"Because of the incident a month ago, the Super Forces are now planning to aggressively recruit these fast-advancing Abnormal People, even knowing they might mysteriously disappear like before, but it's necessary for the safety of their own sects."
He Zhiqing explained sorrowfully to Liang Yi and Su Youyi.
"Of course, when I say Super Forces, I definitely exclude your Taoist Sect, but now you unexpectedly became the Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect, so it's not different from being part of your Taoist Sect."
"I understand the logic, but why the sad look?" Liang Yi was somewhat puzzled; if you're recruiting players, just recruit, he's not stopping them.
At this time, Grandpa Orange quietly shook his head, already guessing the reason.
"But I don't know what spell you Purple Cloud Sect has cast on those Abnormal People; they all flocked to your sect, infuriating the leaders of other Super Forces."
Upon hearing He Zhiqing's response, even Su Youyi looked at her Senior Brother in surprise. Could it be that what Elder Zi mentioned before about hanging the Senior Brother at the Mountain Gate to attract a large number of disciples was actually true?
Liang Yi embarrassingly touched his nose, roughly understanding the situation.
It was mainly because the early promotions were spot on. Whether it was the driving effect of beta-test players, the generous benefits provided by the Purple Cloud Sect, or the first display of Golden Skills and Daoist Skills drawing massive attention,
These factors all brought the name Purple Cloud Sect into the players' view.
Even if the fate of the Purple Cloud Sect might not be as high as other sects even when combined with the Taoist Sect, who could deny its fame?
During the past half-month in the Purple Cloud Sect, beta-test players boasted daily on forums about how beneficial the sect was, especially highlighting the feature of using Experience to offset costs, far surpassing other Super Forces.
When ordinary players chose their sects, high popularity was always the favored choice, given nearly half a month of bombardment by the player forums.
Next, those who chose by coolness went for Complete Heaven Sect, Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, and Senluo Wanxiang Sect as the second favorites.
Then came the Mystic Bureau and Blood Control Sect, also frequently mentioned Super Forces among ordinary players.
As for the last, the Taoist Sect, Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, and Zen -- the Taoist Sect didn't recruit members at all; players guessed it was a hidden force but couldn't find a way in.
Ten Thousand Miles Mountain and Zen targeted specific demographics, appealing to gentlemen who liked furry Beast Girls, or those who liked bare-knuckled action-packed brawls where clothes burst.
To each their own when choosing a sect; there was no rule stating that selections must be uniform.
There were also those eccentric Loose Cultivators, but without significant opportunities, they could only brace for social beatings.
"I'm not quite clear about the sect matters myself; as you know, I've been in seclusion for a month and am unaware of any news." Liang Yi awkwardly smiled and quickly cleared his own involvement; he didn't want the big shots of other Super Forces keeping him in mind.
"I leave all sect affairs to Elder Zi; you both know him -- he claims to be the former Sect Leader of our Purple Cloud Sect."
"Oh, that senior elder," both He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing recalled their encounter in the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm, suddenly remembering the old man in the realm.
"I naturally believe that Brother Liang is not involved. Other forces are just curious and don't mean anything else." He Zhiqing hurried to explain, seeing that Liang Yi seemed intimidated.
"By the way, Brother He, do you have the latest jade tube from Little Bamboo House?" To understand the major events among players, browsing the forum is enough. But to grasp the major events within the Cultivation World, one must rely on Little Bamboo House.
"Hey, I just bought the latest issue, here you go." He Zhiqing took out an orange bamboo token from his ring and tossed it lightly to Liang Yi.
"Thanks, Brother He."
"What about our Ten Thousand Miles Mountain?" asked Grandpa Orange, who had been perching on Liang Yi's shoulder. He still held the title of Demon Clan Young Master and needed to show some concern once in a while, otherwise it'd be too irresponsible.
"Ten Thousand Miles Mountain? I didn't pay attention to that, but I heard that the Demon Clan is quite welcoming to Abnormal People; it is the place where they are least skeptical of them, though I don't know why." Yu Gejing pondered for a moment before speaking, recalling some news she heard during her training about Ten Thousand Miles Mountain.
"That's good then. I'd rather not go back anyway." Upon hearing that the Demon Clan was doing well, Grandpa Orange immediately felt joyful inside. With the Demon Clan doing well, he could continue to wander around with Liang Yi.
"Well, since we've finished our business here, we'll take our leave." Liang Yi thought about the next plan, feeling that they shouldn't linger at Complete Heaven Sect any longer.
"Eh? Brother, are we leaving already?" Su Youyi reluctantly looked at Senior Sister Yu, still wanting to chat more with her.
"We have no more time. Master previously told us to check on Prince Zhou Wudao at Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty; we've already delayed for quite a long time, shouldn't drag it further." Although he wanted to indulge his Junior Sister, Liang Yi had no choice as this task again involved the Devouring Spirit Sect, and they must investigate it thoroughly.
"Alright, then I can only wait till next time to chat with Senior Sister." Su Youyi also understood the urgency.
"Haha, with the grand era coming, the world is getting more chaotic. For now, dealing with the Devouring Spirit Sect is our priority; we will have plenty of time to meet in the future," Yu Gejing, who had recovered her health, reassured with a smile.
Previously, she wanted to say such words, but her body wouldn't allow it; now, she had no such concerns.
"Yes!" Su Youyi obediently nodded, looking towards her Senior Brother.
"In that case, please convey our regards to Sect Leader Fang," Liang Yi regretfully saluted He Zhiqing.
"That's naturally not a problem," He Zhiqing solemnly returned the gesture.
"Then, we will take our leave first." Liang Yi spiritedly led the way, taking his Junior Sister and Grandpa Orange as they transformed into tunneling light and vanished into the horizon.
