C5 I Met Trouble the Moment I Arrived at the Sect

Su Yi, ecstatic, quickly stashed the Pill back into his Storage Ring.

He didn't yet know the specifics of the Pill, but he could tell it was formidable.

A pity it could only be used three times...

"Is there a way to get more uses?"

"You can acquire additional uses through special missions or by consuming special materials..."

"Ah, I see."

Su Yi nodded in understanding. That made sense.

With the journey back to the Profound Moon Sect still ahead, Su Yi didn't waste any time and began to voraciously consume the contents of the bandits' Storage Rings...

He ingested mostly Low Rank Pills and some common weapons, among other things.

He also found a few Low Rank Spirit Skills.

"The System has detected a Low Rank Spirit Skill, Vajra Finger. Do you wish to devour it?"

"Uh..."

Su Yi hesitated. What would he use if the system consumed the Spirit Skill?

Resort to fighting with a stick?

But the system mistook Su Yi's hesitation for confirmation.

"Whoosh."

The black vortex swiftly ingested the Vajra Finger.

"No, wait, don't..."

"What happened?"

His loud exclamation caught the attention of Ye Mengyu and the others.

"Nothing, all good."

Su Yi shook his head in embarrassment, though inwardly he was on the verge of tears.

Yet the system's next prompt sparked a gleam in his eyes, and he was thrilled.

"Vajra Finger acquired! (Proficiency 0/100)"

He quickly closed his eyes and, as expected, the details of Vajra Finger and its Spirit Skill pathway were etched into his memory.

"Holy smokes, this might just be a real gem!"

After absorbing Vajra Finger, an unassuming piece of parchment in the ring piqued Su Yi's curiosity.

"What's this?"

"It looks like part of a map..."

After several inspections, Su Yi couldn't decipher its true nature.

He decided to set it aside for the time being.

Yet something told him this half-map was far from ordinary.

The group eventually emerged from the Falling Sun Forest and, after some time, the Profound Moon Sect came into view.

Su Yi's prowess had advanced yet again, reaching the pinnacle of Rank Nine in Spiritual Energy.

Still, he needed to consume a breakthrough Pill to ascend to the Body Refining Stage.

Bone Forging Pill!

The Bone Forging Pill, a low-rank elixir, is crucial for those infusing spiritual energy into their bodies to advance to the Body Refining Stage.

"To grow stronger, I need to keep devouring things!"

Perfect timing—I'll head to the Profound Moon Sect to check for any Bone Forging Pills.

On the way, Ye Mengyu struck up quite a few conversations with Su Yi, and it naturally led her to address him as Young Master Su.

"Young Master Su, welcome to our Profound Moon Sect!"

Her smile was sweet as she spoke with bubbling enthusiasm.

"Mm..."

Su Yi nodded, taking in the grandeur of the Profound Moon Sect before him.

The sect was impressive, perched on the edge of the Falling Sun Forest.

Most of its structures were made from Profound Stones, which, according to Ye Mengyu, contained traces of spiritual energy and were somewhat beneficial for cultivation.

Several disciples stood at the entrance, seemingly engaged in amiable discourse.

Look at that—one's fist has already met another disciple's face.

Such warmth and camaraderie...

No, wait—it looks more like a brawl...

...

A crowd had gathered at the entrance to the Profound Moon Sect, and unease crept into Ye Mengyu's heart.

"Senior Brother Zhang Su, let's go see what's happening..."

After a brief exchange with Su Yi, she quickly made her way over.

Led by Senior Brother Zhang Su, a few disciples muttered curses under their breath as they too hurried to the scene.

"Damn it, those Tyrant Blade Sect thugs really think they can push us around!"

"They want a fight? We're ready to give them one!"

...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, we haven't even reached the sect, and there's already trouble brewing!"

Su Yi shook his head in resignation. Such incidents weren't unusual, but he'd typically opt to call the police.

Today, however, was a different story. To join the Profound Moon Sect, he'd need to prove his worth.

"Mm... Let's go have a look!"

"But if they don't need me, I'd rather not get involved."

Yet, when he caught sight of the sabers worn by the Tyrant Blade Sect members...

A spark of interest flickered in Su Yi's eyes.

"They've arrived."
