C6 Do You Need My Help??

Liu Fann fixed Lu Chenghua and the other two with a furious glare.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Fann addressed Yang Ying, "Do you need my assistance at this time?"

"You're suggesting that Senior Brother Yang should release his True Qi, allowing you to probe his body at will. That doesn't seem to adhere to the rules, does it?"

Just then, Wang Mingxuan arrived at the entrance of Yang Ying's dormitory. Hearing Liu Fann's voice, he was immediately struck by a sense of curiosity.

He addressed the crowd outside the door, "Excuse me, could you step aside?"

One person was about to refuse, but catching sight of the middle-aged man behind Wang Mingxuan, he choked back his words and retreated a step.

Upon entering, Wang Mingxuan reassured Yang Ying, "Don't worry, we've got your back."

The middle-aged man followed Wang Mingxuan inside.

Yang Ying gave Wang Mingxuan a slight nod of acknowledgment. Upon noticing the middle-aged man, he quickly rose to his feet and asked, "What brings you here?"

Deacon Faang entered with a gentle smile, "I came to check on you all. You've been quite busy lately; it's been a while since our last meeting."

"Indeed, it's been nearly a month since I last saw you," added Wang Mingxuan.

As Liu Fann and the others greeted Deacon Faang, they approached him warmly, "You've arrived."

"Please, take a seat," Yang Ying offered, moving a stool closer for Deacon Faang. Once seated, Deacon Faang turned to Liu Fann and said, "I appreciate your help."

"Don't consent to their request. What if Senior Brother Liu harbors ill intentions?" Wang Mingxuan interjected, seeing Yang Ying about to comply with the law enforcement team's demand.

"There's no need to worry," Yang Ying signaled Wang Mingxuan to be at ease with a reassuring glance.

Turning to Liu Fann, Yang Ying stated, "To allay any doubts, I'm willing to assist you. But once the examination is complete, you must disclose the findings publicly to prevent any behind-the-scenes mischief."

"That's exactly how it should be," Liu Fann replied with a smile. "Then I'll proceed without reservation."

Having finished speaking, Liu Fann placed his hand on Yang Ying's wrist, channeling his true essence into Yang Ying's arm.

Yang Ying reined in his true qi and ceased his resistance. They had both mastered the same cultivation technique, and Liu Fann's prowess far exceeded Yang Ying's. The caliber of his true essence was incomparable to mere true qi, especially since Yang Ying had stopped resisting.

Liu Fann's true essence flowed effortlessly into Yang Ying's arm, coursing through his meridians as per the cultivation pathway. Liu Fann noted that although Yang Ying's true qi paled in comparison to his own, it was nonetheless exceptional for someone at the Peak of the Sixth Level of Qi Refining within the Outer Sect.

Once Liu Fann completed his assessment, he retracted his true essence and informed Yang Ying, "All set."

He then addressed the onlookers outside the door, "I have personally verified that Outer Sect disciple Yang Ying has attained the Peak of the Sixth Level of Qi Refining. He is entitled to remain with the Qing Yuan Sect. Should anyone question this decision behind my back, rest assured, I will seek them out for a discussion."

As he spoke, Liu Fann shot a stern glance at Lu Chenghua and the others, who felt an intimidating force wash over them, sending a shiver down their spines.

"This concludes the matter. I must return to the law enforcement team now. Deacon Faang, I'll take my leave."

Liu Fann bowed to Deacon Faang and made his way to the exit. The other law enforcement disciples followed suit, bowing to Deacon Faang before trailing behind Liu Fann.

Yang Ying caught up with him, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you for your efforts today. Allow me to see you out."

At the doorway, Liu Fann turned and gave Yang Ying's shoulder an encouraging pat, saying, "You've done well. I look forward to seeing you rise to the inner sect soon."

With those parting words, he and his team departed.

Deacon Faang approached Yang Ying, ready to leave as well. Yang Ying bowed respectfully and apologized, "I regret causing you such trouble over a trivial matter."

Deacon Faang gently lifted him, reassuringly responding, "No worries."

"Do you need assistance dealing with Lu Chenghua and the other two?" Deacon Faang's voice quietly reached Yang Ying's ears.

Yang Ying was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly caught on—Deacon Faang was speaking to him through a secret transmission. Unfortunately, Yang Ying hadn't mastered the technique and could only shake his head in response.

Deacon Faang, seeing Yang Ying's reaction, chose not to elaborate and made his exit.

Once Deacon Faang had left, Yang Ying approached Wang Mingxuan, clapping him on the shoulder. "Junior Brother Wang, you really pulled your weight this time, thank you!"

Wang Mingxuan touched the back of his head, offering a bashful smile. "I didn't really do much."

Something then seemed to dawn on him, and he turned to Yang Ying with curiosity. "Senior Brother Yang, when did you advance to the Sixth Level of Qi Refining?"

"It's getting close to noon. How about I treat you to lunch today? Let's head to the cafeteria!" Yang Ying suggested, giving Wang Mingxuan a gentle tug. "Come on, Junior Brother Wang! We can chat over a meal!"

"Isn't that place a bit pricey?" Wang Mingxuan hesitated.

"Don't worry about it. The cost of the meal is not a concern for me," Yang Ying reassured him with a smile.

Together, they made their way to the cafeteria. The Green Cloud Sect's rear cafeteria catered to the disciples' specific requests, much like the private kitchen model in Huaxia.

The rear cafeteria, however, was known for its steep prices—a single meal could cost one or two Spirit Stones. Given that ordinary Outer Sect disciples received only two Spirit Stones per month, it was a luxury that Yang Ying and Wang Mingxuan seldom indulged in.

The high cost of the meals was justified by the quality of the cuisine. The rear cafeteria had a knack for pairing spiritual ingredients. While the materials weren't overly extravagant, they were beneficial to one's cultivation.

Later in the afternoon, after parting ways with Wang Mingxuan, Yang Ying set off alone towards the Compendium Pavilion.

Over the past fortnight, the demands of his cultivation had kept him preoccupied with hunting demonic beasts.

With the afternoon already upon him, it was a bit late to start a hunt. He decided it would be more productive to spend his time studying in the Tripitaka Sutra Pavilion.

In solitude, Yang Ying called up the system interface:

Name: Yang Ying

Identity: Outer Sect Disciple, Green Cloud Sect

Qualification: Red Level

Cultivation Level: Sixth Level of Qi Refining

Cultivation Techniques: Profound Essence Spell (Initial Success), Basic Sword Arts (Great Completion), Soaring Movement Arts (Great Completion)

Origin Strength: 390

Origin Strength needed for next upgrade: 390/400.

Recently, whenever Yang Ying found himself with a moment to spare, he'd contemplate his cultivation techniques. His plan was to master the Basic Sword Arts to the point of Perfection before seeking out an intermediate-level sword technique.

For his other plans, he started by delving into the history of the Qiming Continent to gain a basic understanding, followed by studying up on demonic beasts and spiritual medicine.

Determined, Yang Ying handed over a Spirit Stone and proceeded to the inner sanctum of the Tripitaka Sutra Pavilion. He began his research in the human history section and, after some comparison, found that the Qiming Continent Records offered a relatively comprehensive account.

"Ding! Congratulations on discovering the Qiming Continent Records. You need 20 points of Origin Strength to comprehend it!"

"Ding! Congratulations on mastering the Qiming Continent Records!"

With this new knowledge, Yang Ying learned that the hierarchy of cultivator strength on the Qiming Continent ascended from Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Infant, Soul Formation, Combination, Tribulation Crossing, to Mahayana.

As for cultivation aptitude, it ranged from the lowest to highest as follows: red, yellow, green, blue, purple.
