I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Now, even with Foundation Establishment, there’s not a single opportunity to go out for experience.

Liou Yuan knows very well what the higher-ups are thinking.

"They’re grooming Tuoba Xin as if he’s to become a Golden Core, afraid he’ll fall halfway."

Don’t talk about how a strong person should rise bravely between battles.

That’s for ’ordinary’ outer sect disciples like Liou Yuan and the others.

For someone like Tuoba Xin, a natural talent in cultivation, achieving Golden Core means any foe, front or back, could be slapped to death with a single strike.

Liou Yuan naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Tuoba Xin then went on to talk about various interesting things he heard outside, and Liou Yuan responded to each one.

Unknowingly, it was already sunset.

Tuoba Xin personally escorted Liou Yuan to the passage leading to the Outer Sect, reminding him before leaving: "Mr. Liou, hurry and reach Foundation Establishment. It’s been five or six years since you joined, how are you still in Qi Cultivation?"

Liou Yuan’s face twitched; Tuoba Xin himself was a monster and thought everyone else could achieve Foundation Establishment as easily as drinking water.

But it wasn’t good to hurt his pride, so he could only smile wryly and agree.

Returning to the Outer Sect, the dusk on the Spirit Ascension Platform grew deeper.

The Chaotic Scene suspended high above the Spirit Ascension Platform was nowhere to be seen anymore.

Reflecting on today’s experiences, Liou Yuan’s face showed a look of melancholy.

"Family games, in the Sect Leader’s eyes, are nothing more than child’s play; it takes a Golden Core to decide the rise and fall of a family with a single word."

Golden Core is still too distant for Liou Yuan; his immediate priority is to seclude himself to break through to Foundation Establishment.

But before seclusion, there’s one thing to do: welcome the Ice Vein’s Golden Core inheritance, the "Taichu Ice Mirror," with Liou Zhen.

"Once the Golden Core inheritance is in hand, be sure to thoroughly comprehend it."

The Taichu Ice Mirror counted as the reward for winning this Chaotic Scene.

At least it gave Liou Yuan the feeling that his efforts weren’t in vain.

Adjusting his mood, Liou Yuan utilized Treading Flowing Waves and headed toward his new residence.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the open ground outside Liou Yuan’s residence.

From a distance, Liou Yuan saw a crowd gathered at the entrance to his residence.

Zhao Feiyue, Qiu Ming, Bai Ling, Xie Miaobo, and Fu Xueping were all friends Liou Yuan became acquainted with after joining Five Extremes Mountain.

There was also Gong Linqing, who had emerged from the Array and was accompanying everyone.

Judging from their appearance, they had been waiting for quite some time.

As soon as Liou Yuan’s figure reappeared, he was greeted by the delighted voices of the group.

"You rascal finally came back! We thought you went straight to the Inner Sect and weren’t coming back to the Outer Sect," said Qiu Ming, speaking with his usual nonchalance, unaffected by Liou Yuan’s impressive performance in today’s Chaotic Scene.

Zhao Feiyue teased from the side: "Mr. Liou’s performance today was so dazzling; reaching Foundation Establishment is just a matter of time. The Sect Leader might just directly make him an Inner Sect disciple."

In response to Zhao Feiyue and Qiu Ming’s jests, Liou Yuan approached the group with a smile, recounting his experiences in the Inner Sect: "Apologies for making you all wait; I just chatted a bit with Mr. Tuoba in the Inner Sect."

The name of the Five Extremes Mountain’s talent was still a secret in the Outer Sect, but to those with family backgrounds like Zhao Feiyue and Qiu Ming, they evidently already knew Tuoba Xin was the talent.

Their expressions immediately became solemn.

But they were not surprised.

Tuoba Xin was indeed a talent, but Liou Yuan’s performance wasn’t bad either; he could be considered the strongest among this batch of Five-Star Star Acupoint disciples.

Strong people should associate with strong people.

However, Tuoba Xin’s name was still in a semi-secret state; Zhao Feiyue and Qiu Ming didn’t dare to mention it further, only nodding in acknowledgment.

"Drink up! Drink up!" Bai Ling clamored again, flapping its wings to signal Liou Yuan to open the residence Array.

It had been led astray by Qiu Ming, not only becoming increasingly unruly but also developing a drinking habit, having long coveted the Spirit Wine brought by Zhao Feiyue and Qiu Ming.

"Haha, what Bai Ling said is right. Today, Mr. Liou had a big victory in the Chaotic Scene, certainly a reason to celebrate well," Xie Miaobo urged as well.

Fu Xueping laughed lightly at the side; she didn’t drink, but today she could accompany for a drink or two.

"Tonight, we won’t leave until we’re drunk!" Having won the "Taichu Ice Mirror" Golden Core inheritance for the Ice Vein and killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Fog Vein, Liou Yuan was in a good mood and opened the Array, welcoming his friends into his newly established residence.

Gong Linqing silently followed alongside.

Bang! The Array closed, and the residence was filled with a hearty sound of laughter and clinking cups.

They drank through the entire night.

With Liou Yuan’s current strength, the Spiritual Qi in Spirit Wine no longer benefited his power in the least.

The same went for the others.

Everyone was drinking for joy, and they drank until late at night, after which they had their own affairs to attend to and left Liou Yuan’s residence one by one.

Zhao Feiyue, Qiu Ming, and Bai Ling needed to go into seclusion to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Xie Miaobo and Fu Xueping were now also at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, about to face a new Outer Sect experience, not daring to slack off.

Liou Yuan personally escorted them out of his residence, sending them off individually.

"Phew!" Liou Yuan exhaled a breath laced with alcohol, just about to turn back into his residence.

His gaze shifted, suddenly fixed on a blue stone outside the residence.

A graceful woman with her arms around a black longsword stood atop it, morning mist from the mountains condensing into dew on her clothes, seemingly having waited outside all night.

Liou Yuan, upon seeing her face, instantly sobered from his half-drunken state, and said warily: "I’ve had too much to drink today, it’s not suitable for fighting!"

The person was none other than Lin Qianyin, and Liou Yuan feared she had come to settle a score with him again.

Who knew Lin Qianyin would smile faintly, her voice devoid of the previous aggressiveness.

"Mr. Liou’s Cyan Nether Sword Qi far surpasses mine; personally witnessing Mr. Liou slay a Liou Family Foundation Establishment yesterday, I acknowledge I’m not as good."

"I naturally wouldn’t come again just to be humiliated."

Upon hearing Lin Qianyin had no intention of fighting, Liou Yuan relaxed his body and replied with a grin: "As long as there’s no fighting, it’s fine."

Lin Qianyin looked at the spirited young man in front of her, her lips curling slightly with a hint of stubbornness.

"Today, I admit I’m not as good as Mr. Liou, but I’m not one to easily concede."

"When we meet again, I still want to challenge Mr. Liou’s Cyan Nether Sword Qi."

That’s how Sword Cultivators are; their desire for combat is far stronger than other cultivators.

Lin Qianyin’s achievements today are inseparable from her clear sword heart.

This time, Liou Yuan did not refuse and solemnly said: "I will be here waiting, Sister Qianyin."

Lin Qianyin nodded, then deeply bowed to Liou Yuan: "I came this time to thank Mr. Liou for saving my life; my gratitude is remembered, and I will repay it one day."

With that, Lin Qianyin gracefully turned, her voice fading as she left the Array.

"I’ve disturbed you for many days, it’s time for me to leave."

Liou Yuan raised his head and could see Wan Dongling of Yanluo Sect’s Foundation Establishment standing in the void above the residence.

As Lin Qianyin finished speaking, without any delay, Wan Dongling wrapped her in True Essence and shot out of Five Extremes Mountain.

"Finally gone." Liou Yuan let out a relieved smile, then thought of something and mused with a faint smile to himself: "I wonder if Mr. Dongling bid farewell properly to my brother."
