‘Indeed, the profession of Qi Refiner, personally customized for me at the Mythical Level, combined with my Talent, can be described as rapid development.’

“Has something happened?” Ji Shan frowned and headed to the No. 1 playground. This issue must be significant, otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a major commotion.

“Hahaha, Student Ji Shan, that was some fine technique. I must admit my ignorance, that move just now was probably stronger than mine; I really had no idea.” The bearded man said this heartily and even sneakily licked his hand.

“Well said, junior, but I can’t do it. I’m not so smart and need to practice more in real situations. I’ll go ahead and select some good tasks. I won’t disturb you any longer.” Having said that, he took off quickly, looking a bit dejected.

“Ji Shan, do you want to go on a mission? Earn some resources as a supplement.” another bearded man walked over and invited.

...

“It’s said that Liu Huang has brought back a colorful Daoist statue from the Underworld, which contains the Heavenly Technique.”

“No, what’s going on?”

“Yes, they resurrected the Liu Family’s legitimate daughter, her body and soul have returned, but the problem is… that soul is not only not the Liu Family’s daughter’s but is that of some great terror.” The voice increasingly softened toward the end.

“You call this an incident? Isn’t this just some rumor? If there really was a Heavenly Technique, the Liu Family would be too busy hiding it to let it leak.”

“Just listen to me, the Heavenly Technique within the Daoist statue is named the Immortal Sand Soul Returning Talisman, and it has the ability to bring the dead back to life, and then…”

“They used it on that legitimate daughter?!!” the voice came out sharp.

“Review every day, sooner or later you’ll turn into a bookworm; battling the heavens and fighting across the lands is what we Cultivators need to do.” The bearded man said as he grabbed Ji Shan’s hand, ready to pick up the mission.

“Have you heard? The Liu Family seems to have run into trouble.”

“Repeat that…”

“I haven’t been free lately, I still need to review, you should find someone else.” Ji Shan said, smiling as he refused.

After all, there was no evidence, and there had been a few difficulties subsequently, and then there was nothing more; an occasional challenge could be seen as tempering at Xuanqing Academy, but if it happens too frequently without action, then it could damage the academy’s reputation.

After all, the upper levels are not a monolith; there are various factions competing for power and profit, but for now, the development is still stable and on the right track without any major corruption.

The bearded man narrowed his eyes; he hadn’t expected Ji Shan, who had just joined, to have such ability, thinking to himself, ‘No wonder they say that the wealth of the Liu Family is hard to obtain, they really are not an easy mark.’

Anyone with a bit of cultivation knowledge knows, once you enter the Underworld after death and are then brought back, it’s not the same person anymore, but a malevolent spirit from the Netherworld.

But this also threatened some people’s interests; after all, your wholehearted fairness inevitably makes it so that some can’t profit, hence the infiltration of clans and the fragmentation of factions arise.

Initially, Liu Xuan had taken a few Cultivators to block him, and then he slaughtered them, and never returned.

The other party casually loosened his grip, his hand was still numb; if he really wanted to harm the other party in secret, he probably would have lost his own life first.

For Ji Shan, the techniques of National Martial Arts were quite good; at least there was no need to worry about hurting someone too severely and killing them. With his Talent, he managed to learn it after just practicing a couple of times.

He didn’t dwell on the minor gossip about the Liu Family, although he and the Liu Family were not on good terms.

And if he waited a bit longer, he would probably advance to level 5, which was about the strength of those old ancestors from revived clans and sects.

Meanwhile, Ji Shan beside him had a dark expression; after all, everyone there were Cultivators with keen senses and sharp eyes. It seemed like they were quietly whispering, but in fact, everyone around heard it.

As long as your own image isn’t destroyed, and you don’t physically intervene, the other party will never suspect that you intend to trap them.

What those dignified men need is a knife to wield for them, not someone with ideals and ambitions.

Ji Shan wasn’t like Qin Muye, who specialized in studying and research. Although Ji Shan did the same, his primary focus was on pursuing the ways and laws that served combat strength. He studied what needed to be studied, but his application was different.

As Ji Shan closed his book, ready to leave, he suddenly heard a piercing alarm followed by an announcement from a college instructor: “All novice cultivators report to Field No. 1 for assembly, including those who have already received assignments.”

Ji Shan didn’t pay much attention to it. The instructor was relatively amicable. There had been some who refused and harbored jealousy, and, naturally, they were dealt with discreetly by him.

It was this very tactic that Ji Shan used, and the academy intervened right as the second difficulty commenced.

Ji Shan also sensed a slight change in the mood of the other and the disappearance of malice. He then humbly said, “Sharpening the axe will not delay the chopping of firewood. How can I compare to my seniors? I just feel that I need to learn more before I can practice.”

It was said that Liu Gu, after obtaining the Jiao Pearl, had been in secluded cultivation, intending to restore his strength to its peak period.

But the other person appeared hearty as if genuinely wishing him well, when in fact, there was malice hidden. Ji Shan flicked his wrist subtly, unleashing Dark Strength, Light Strength, and Transform Strength, three techniques of National Martial Arts, which instantly shook the burly man’s hand off his.

The Liu Family indeed did not dare to retaliate, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t find others to trip up Ji Shan, something he had already encountered several times.

You join the academy to contribute to Yan Country, yet when a noble family troubles one of your disciples so, no one from the academy shows any support. So, is this academy an officer of Yan Country or a dog of the noble families?

Now, in the entire Xuan Qing Academy, probably only the college’s strongest dean was about his level, which according to Qin Muye’s and his rankings, would be about tier 4.

Thus, he decisively gave it up.

So, the art of influence was necessary. Ji Shan saw this point clearly, as the new generation of cultivators showed quite a gap compared to the previous one.

He didn’t really want to review; rather, he sensed the malice of this person, which was probably an underhanded tactic from the Liu Family.

His current strength was tremendous, and although the attribute panel still showed level 0, it did not mean his combat strength was level 0.

He did want to make money, but he wasn’t foolish. Between life and money, he would undoubtedly choose life, because even if he got the money, he would need to be alive to spend it.

The day after he dealt with Liu Xuan, Xuan Qing Academy extended an invitation to him. He naturally accepted it without hesitation and after going through some training, he was ready for employment.

It was either the noble families or common people.

Because there were many cultivators of the same humble origin who stood by his side, the academy was forced to make a choice.

Because most of the people here were not actually from noble families but were recruited from the common folks. Thus, more emphasis was placed on the mentality, as the first generation of Transcendents, although they were of the new generation, they also represented a powerful approach.

Afterward, Ji Shan finally found peace; the Liu Family didn’t dare to retaliate against him anymore.

If we talk about advancing further, the current level of Spiritual Energy isn’t sufficient to support these ancestors in their breakthroughs, unless they obtain a Jiao Pearl like Liu Gu did.

It wasn’t just him; there were also some unexpectedly awakened individuals among the idle personnel. Currently, the Xuan Qing Academy was controlled by the official forces of Yan Country, but unavoidably, some nobles were inserted into it, all of them having reached in through political channels.

The other students initially gloated over this, but whenever there’s a bit of public opinion involved, the majority who are of common origins would think this way, judging others by themselves. Considering the oppressive methods of others, if the academy didn’t support them today, they might face the same fate tomorrow if they fell into trouble.

This was a genius-level student who should be befriended rather than offended, so he instantly changed his mind.

If this were to change with another generation of cultivators, they would likely become completely profit-driven, and then, naturally, it would backfire on those many dignitaries.

But none of this had anything to do with Ji Shan. He didn’t care at all; this situation was quite suitable for him to climb up and then harm others.

Probably just another ten years, and everything would be clear.

Eventually, it was resolved smoothly. Although the people from the Liu Family who came to cause trouble were so frustrated that they gnashed their teeth, they couldn’t do anything and didn’t even dare to speak harshly. They had to leave, seething with rage but only able to glare angrily a few times before leaving.

As a major noble family of Yan Country, the Liu Family naturally came to look for him, but Ji Shan staunchly claimed ignorance. If it had been earlier, he really would have been helpless, but now with the backing of Xuan Qing Academy, the other party could only talk tough before leaving.
