424: Kun Ge

"Stinky Utility Disciple, just you wait. One day, This Young Lady will cripple you."

Chen Xinyue's pretty face was filled with rage, her beautiful eyes brimming with venomous malice as she coldly glared at Yang Lingchen.

"Stinky bitch, you should thank Elder Wang, otherwise, I would have stripped you bare and hung you on a tree long ago."

Yang Lingchen's lips curled up, forming a look of disdain, his eyes filled with provocation.

"You…! Let's wait and see."

Chen Xinyue trembled all over with rage, her blood churning as she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her exquisite face was now somewhat distorted by anger, appearing exceptionally hideous.

After throwing down this threat, she took Chen Haonan and left Xuanbing Peak without looking back.

Along the way, Chen Xinyue's heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness. She had never suffered such humiliation and swore that she would make Yang Lingchen pay a painful price.

"What is your name?" Wang Xiaotian asked, looking at Yang Lingchen. His gaze was deep and sharp, as if it could pierce through a person's Soul.

"Disciple Yang Lingchen." Yang Lingchen bowed and cupped his hands in a salute, his attitude respectful and humble.

"Good lad, you have some skill. With a cultivation level at the first layer of the Void Spirit Realm, you were actually able to defeat Chen Xinyue." Wang Xiaotian nodded, a touch of appreciation showing in his eyes.

He was secretly surprised. That Yang Lingchen could win while his cultivation level was lower than Chen Xinyue's was enough to prove that his talent and combat ability were extraordinary.

"Senior, you flatter me. This Disciple was just lucky." Yang Lingchen said modestly. He knew deeply that in the Sect, it was better to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Excessive humility is pride. Come with me!" Wang Xiaotian said, his tone brooking no argument.

"Senior, where are we going?" Yang Lingchen asked, full of confusion.

"Of course, we are going to the Outer Sect! Do you want to be a Utility Disciple for your whole life?" Wang Xiaotian said, a trace of a smile appearing on his face.

"Thank you, Senior. This Disciple was just preparing to take the assessment for Outer Sect Disciple!" Yang Lingchen said, excitement flashing in his eyes.

He knew that becoming an Outer Sect Disciple meant better cultivation resources and a higher status.

"Boss, congratulations on becoming an Outer Sect Disciple." Bald Strong showed an envious expression on his face. He looked at Yang Lingchen, his eyes filled with longing for the future.

"You should also work hard to Cultivate and strive to become an Outer Sect Disciple as soon as possible." Yang Lingchen patted his shoulder and offered a word of encouragement.

"Mm… mm…! I will work hard." Bald Strong nodded heavily, secretly making up his mind to Cultivate diligently and not let down Yang Lingchen's expectations.

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen followed Wang Xiaotian to the Outer Sect of Xuanbing Peak.

The buildings in the Outer Sect were more magnificent than where the Utility Disciples stayed, and the Spiritual Qi was also much richer.

After some registration, he finally received his Identity Token as an Outer Sect Disciple.

That token was crafted from a special material, engraved with the words 'Xuanbing Peak Outer Sect Disciple', as well as Yang Lingchen's name and serial number.

The benefits and treatment of an Outer Sect Disciple were simply worlds apart compared to a Utility Disciple.

After all, Utility Disciples needed to work, exchanging labor for meager cultivation resources, while Outer Sect Disciples didn't need to do anything and even had independent dormitories.

Every month, they could receive a certain amount of divine origin stones and Medicinal Pill to use for Cultivation.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen was constantly doing tasks frantically.

He traveled through various dangerous locations, fought with Yao Beasts, searched for precious herbs, and helped fellow Disciples solve problems. This was because he needed to accumulate a large amount of contribution points to exchange for more Advanced Martial Skill and Movement Technique.

Every task was filled with danger, but Yang Lingchen, relying on his strong will and outstanding strength, turned danger into safety time and time again.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a month had gone by.

During this month of Cultivation, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level also rose from the Early Stage of the first layer of the Void Spirit Realm to the Late Stage of the first layer of the Void Spirit Realm.

The reason he was able to improve so quickly was mainly because Chen Haonan's storage ring contained quite a few divine origin stones.

These divine origin stones provided him with sufficient energy, accelerating his progress in Cultivation.

This day, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Wentian Palace Library.

The Library was located deep within Wentian Palace, surrounded by dense Spiritual Qi, as if it were a fairyland. This building was tall and solemn, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

After a month of non-stop task-doing, he had accumulated 200,000 contribution points, so he planned to come to the Library to exchange for some Martial Skill and Movement Technique.

Additionally, as a new Disciple of Wentian Palace, Yang Lingchen still had a new recruit benefit that he hadn't claimed, so he planned to claim it all today.

The Library was the place where Martial Skill and Cultivation Technique were kept. Every Secret Manual here contained the wisdom and hard work of Senior experts and was a Treasure Trove that countless Disciples dreamed of.

The Library was divided into four layers. Outer Sect Disciples could only enter the first layer, Inner Sect Disciples could enter the second layer, Core Disciples and Elders could enter the third layer, and only the Palace Master and Grand Elder could enter the fourth layer.

The Rank and preciousness of the Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill stored on each layer were different; the higher up, the more profound and rare they were.

The Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill inside the Library needed to be exchanged for with contribution points, or newly promoted Disciples had one opportunity to enter the Library.

Just as Yang Lingchen walked to the entrance of the Library, he saw a white-haired old man sitting on a grandmaster chair, resting with his eyes closed. The old man's face was weathered, yet he exuded an invisible pressure that made people not dare to underestimate him.

"Identity Token." Before Yang Lingchen could speak, that white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was like lightning, instantly falling upon Yang Lingchen.

"Senior, this is this Junior's Identity Token." Yang Lingchen handed over his Identity Token, his attitude respectful and cautious.

"First layer, go in! You are not allowed to exceed a quarter of an hour." The White-Haired Elder looked at the Identity Token, returned it to Yang Lingchen, and then continued to rest with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Senior." Yang Lingchen took the Identity Token and then walked into the Library.

The first layer of the Library collected Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill that were basically at the Void Spirit Realm level. These Martial Skill and Cultivation Technique were numerous and varied, dazzling to the eyes.

However, with Yang Lingchen's current strength, exchanging for Martial Skill and Movement Technique at the Void Spirit Realm level was enough.

Although he also wanted to exchange for higher-level Martial Skill, currently, he did not have the authority to enter the second layer of the Library.

Yin Ghost Blade, Eight Thunder Palm, Xuanbing Leg, Blazing Sun Claw—Yang Lingchen kept picking and choosing on the first layer of the Library.

He carefully flipped through the introduction of each Martial Skill, thinking about whether it was suitable for him.

Just at this moment, in an inconspicuous corner, he discovered an ancient and tattered Secret Manual. This Secret Manual seemed to have been forgotten by time, lying there quietly.

"Heavenly Fiend Fist." Yang Lingchen gently wiped away the dust on the tattered Secret Manual and then opened it to read.

"Heavenly Fiend Fist, Rank unknown, Cultivation difficulty five stars, not to be practiced by those without extraordinary talent." This was the introduction on the cover of the Heavenly Fiend Fist manual, which was likely written by the higher-ups of Wentian Palace later on.

"Damn, is it that hard to Cultivate?" Yang Lingchen muttered, a spirit of unwillingness to lose surging in his heart. Immediately, he began to study it seriously.

After watching for a while, Yang Lingchen suddenly closed his eyes. He kept swinging his fists as if he had entered a sleepwalking state. Each punch carried the pressure of momentum, making people fearful.

Around his body, an invisible aura seemed to have formed, with faint sounds of wind and thunder.

"It's you." After about a moment, Yang Lingchen suddenly opened his eyes, a look of joy showing in them.

He completely did not expect that he would be able to pick up a bargain here; this Heavenly Fiend Fist was simply tailor-made for him.

Yang Lingchen took this Heavenly Fiend Fist manual and walked out. As for other Martial Skill and Cultivation Technique, he had no interest.

Rather than spending contribution points on these, it was better to accumulate more contribution points to exchange for Pill Formula later.

For a cultivator, Medicinal Pill could often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As for higher-level Martial Skill, it was not in his consideration range for the time being, because his current Martial Skill and Movement Technique were barely enough for the Void Spirit Realm.

Moreover, he believed that as long as he cultivated his existing Martial Skill to the extreme, he could also unleash powerful might.

Additionally, Yang Lingchen had another plan, which was to create his own Cultivation Technique.

In his eyes, those ancient Senior experts could create their own Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill, so he could also create his own Cultivation Technique. He never felt that he was worse than anyone else.

After these years of Cultivation, Yang Lingchen had reached an incredibly proficient level with his own Movement Technique and Martial Skill.

Yang Lingchen believed that as long as he innovated a bit on the original foundation of these Martial Skill and Cultivation Technique, the God Slaying Sword Technique and Phantom Movement Technique would definitely be able to improve by another level.

"Senior, this is the Martial Skill this Disciple has chosen." Yang Lingchen handed the Heavenly Fiend Fist manual in his hand to the White-Haired Elder.

"Heavenly Fiend Fist." A flash of surprise passed through the White-Haired Elder's eyes, then he said, "The difficulty of cultivating this Heavenly Fiend Fist is far beyond your imagination. This old man will give you another chance; if you want to change it now, it's still not too late."

The old man kindly reminded Yang Lingchen; he did not want this young man to waste a precious opportunity because of a moment of impulse.

"Senior, this Junior has chosen it." Yang Lingchen's eyes showed a touch of determination.

He had made up his mind to Cultivate this Heavenly Fiend Fist to prove that his choice was correct.

"Fine, since you won't listen to this old man's advice, then go ahead and register it." The White-Haired Elder shook his head and said.

In his view, Yang Lingchen was just an ambitious and unrealistic young man, and he would give up on this Heavenly Fiend Fist in a few days.

Over these countless years, countless predecessors of Wentian Palace had studied this fist manual, but in the end, not one person had succeeded in cultivating it.

After registering at the Library, Yang Lingchen returned to his residence. He couldn't wait to start studying this Heavenly Fiend Fist manual, preparing to immerse himself in arduous Cultivation.

... Shengyang Peak.

"brother kun, you must stand up for me; you must not let that stinky Utility Disciple off." Chen Xinyue hugged a man with evil eyes and said in a coquettish voice.

Her face still carried lingering anger, and tears swirled in her eyes, making her appear pitiful.

"Little baby, don't worry! Later, This Young Master will have someone break his four limbs." Liang Kun's mouth curled into an evil smile, and then he said with his hoarse voice, "However, you must accompany This Young Master well today."

Chen Xinyue gave a coquettish snort and leaned into Liang Kun's arms.

"That damn Yang Lingchen actually dared to make me lose face in public. I must make him wish he were dead." Chen Xinyue said, gnashing her teeth.

"Hmph, a tiny Outer Sect Disciple dares to offend my woman; he really doesn't know what death is." Liang Kun snorted coldly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"brother kun, you are so good. You must help me teach him a lesson." Chen Xinyue said in a sweet voice, her heart filled with anticipation.

"Rest assured, baby, I will let him know the consequences of offending us." Liang Kun said with certainty, wrapping his arms around Chen Xinyue.

And at this moment, Yang Lingchen was completely unaware of the impending danger; he was immersed in Cultivation.
