Cultivation Kill

Shen Zige sat cross-legged on the ring, pretending to be internally injured.

Some of the crowd below the ring were shouting, "One more! Go up there and take him down!"

Some people in the audience also felt something was off, thinking that the boy on stage was too lucky and a bit strange.

However, there are relatively few rogue cultivators at the late stage of the Spirit Condensation realm. Currently, there are less than ten people in the central square. Those with real strength obtained the entry tokens for the Great Yuan Sect a few days ago.

Surprisingly, no one else came to challenge Shen Zige in the arena. After waiting for an hour, Shen Zige successfully defended his title.

As he stepped off the arena, the two referees from the Dayuan Sect handed him an entry token and asked, "What's your name? Have you ever joined a sect before?"

"My name is Shi Yuange, and I've never joined a sect." Shen Zige came up with a name on a whim.

"Your words have been recorded on the token, Shi Yuange. After you join the sect, you must abide by the rules of the Da Yuan Sect and do not wander around aimlessly," the Da Yuan Sect referee instructed.

"No problem, I will definitely follow the rules," Shen Zige assured.

He didn't know that the Great Yuan Sect didn't allow the use of pseudonyms or the concealment of one's real name, so he was essentially breaking the rules before even joining the sect!

Shen Zige walked over to Shi Yuan, who was chatting with a girl.

"Hey, Shi Yuange, congratulations!" Shi Yuan said sarcastically. "Brother, is your back a little sore? Do you need your little brother to massage it for you? Or is your head a little sore? Let me massage your head for you!"

Shi Yuan heard Shen Zige talking to the referee and knew that Shen Zige was using the alias Shi Yuange.

The girl next to him looked completely bewildered.

"How did I perform in the ring?" Shen Zige asked.

"The Oscar judges refused to score it." Shi Yuan tossed two taels of silver to the girl. "This is your tip for keeping me company."

The two refused the woman who tried to sell them the "Xizhou City Tourist Guide" and left the central square together.

“There’s still a week left,” Shi Yuan said. “After one star, the Great Yuan Society will end. At that time, someone from the Great Yuan Sect will come by flying boat to pick up the new disciples. Remember to call me Wu Xin.”

Shen Zige thought to herself that Shi Yuan was planning to do something bad again, so he used the name Wu Xin.

"no problem."

After leaving the square, the two went to the inn and rented a superior room. There was nothing they could do; the regular rooms had already been booked, and only these deluxe rooms, which cost one spirit stone per day, were left.

"Master, please give me your orders!"

As soon as Shen Zige entered the guest room, she saw ten girls dressed as maids standing in two rows on either side of the hall.

As expected, it's the most luxurious guest room, complete with ten maids to serve you!

"Please tidy up my room, I plan to rest," Shen Zige said.

"Do you need us to help with a massage and keep you company while you rest?"

The maid standing at the front asked, her hairpin being a beautiful rose.

"No need, you should all go and rest too."

Shen Zige waved her hand, then suddenly remembered that it wasn't dark yet, and added, "You guys go out and have fun. If anyone asks, just say you bought something for me."

The ten maids looked delighted. During the Great Yuan Festival, they had long wanted to go out and have fun, but unfortunately, they had to work.

"Guest, are you sure you don't need our service?" the head maid asked again.

“No need,” Shen Zige said.

"Sisters, it's holiday time!"

The ten maids rushed into the small room next door with delight, changed their clothes, and left the luxurious suite.

Shen Zige went to the master bedroom and sat down to meditate.

The spiritual energy gathers and flows from the Foot Shaoyang acupoint to the Foot Shaoyin acupoint, passing through thirty-six major acupoints and thirty-six minor acupoints along the way, which completes one cycle.

For the next week, Shen Zige only went out once. When he went out, he met Shi Dazhu at the pharmacy. Shi Dazhu was still missing a herb called Lizard Grass.

Shen Zige asked what he needed the herb for, but Shi Dazhu couldn't say for sure. He only heard something about "ten thousand years" and "rebirth." Shi Dazhu also told him that Luo Wansheng planned to go back after the Great Yuan Assembly.

The Sun Sword Technique has nine levels. He was stuck on the first level and could not break through. He believed that his physical strength was not enough to withstand the appearance of the illusory sun in the sword technique!

On the day the Great Yuan Assembly ended, fireworks were set off throughout Xizhou City. Countless fireworks streaked into the sky, trailing plumes of smoke, like colorful flowers blooming in the heavens.

Shen Zige and Shi Yuan were standing in the central square at this moment. There were even more people setting off fireworks here because the government was giving away a tube of fireworks to every household for free today. Of course, many poor families chose to save them to sell after the Great Yuan Festival, but most chose to use them on the same day.

Amidst the exploding fireworks in the sky, a giant flying boat appeared in the clouds and slowly descended, casting a shadow that covered half the square, giving the people below a heavy sense of oppression!

Judging from its size, the flying boat could easily accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people. There were more than 2,000 mortals waiting to enter in the square, only 500 Spirit Condensation cultivators, and even fewer in the late Spirit Condensation stage. Shen Zige observed with his divine sense and found that there were only more than 20 people.

"what?"

Shen Zige discovered a familiar face who was at the late stage of the Spirit Condensation realm—it was the bald man. She hadn't expected that he had also obtained the entry token.

“This is a spirit boat,” Shi Yuan said. “It’s a high-grade spirit artifact, and one of the most valuable ones. We definitely can’t afford it.”

Upon hearing this, a cultivator at the mid-stage of Spirit Condensation glanced at Shi Yuan and thought to himself, "These cultivators are so arrogant these days. A mere Spirit Condensation cultivator wants to buy a spiritual artifact? That's impossible even in a dream!"

The spirit boat hovered above, about twenty meters above the ground.

The side door of the spirit boat opened, and several rope ladders were thrown down.

"Does this mean we have to climb up?"

A mortal disciple who had just begun his studies and had not yet successfully condensed his spirit asked in a trembling voice, "I'm a little afraid of heights and I don't dare to climb. Could you send someone to take us up with a flying sword?"

"You don't even want to climb the rope ladder? You might as well go home and cry in your mother's arms!" another ordinary boy sneered.

The two glared at each other, successfully creating a feud.

Neither Spirit Condensation nor Foundation Establishment cultivators can fly. Even if their divine sense can control objects, they cannot control themselves to fly. It's like a person trying to lift themselves up by their own hair, no matter how strong they are.

Although they said they were afraid, no one backed down. When they saw the rope ladder descending, they all pushed forward, fearing that the Yuan Dynasty would introduce new rules and they would be eliminated if they fell behind.

Shen Zige leaped into the air, but the spirit boat hovering above him was higher than his jump height. He had no choice but to reach out and pull on the rope ladder to gain leverage and enter the spirit boat.

The high-ranking members of the Great Yuan Sect were all on the deck, while the cabins were filled with disciples at or below the Spirit Condensation level.

"Senior brother, you go first. This is the spiritual tea that the Great Yuan Dynasty sent to the top ten!"

A young woman in white gracefully approached, carrying a tea tray.

Shen Zige took the spirit tea and drank it all in one gulp; this was his way of drinking tea.

A surge of heat rose within his body, causing every pore and blood vessel to open up, and his meridians and acupoints to absorb spiritual energy. At this moment, his realm reached a truly perfect state!

All you need is time and a quiet place to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Senior brother, you are amazing. This is the first time I have ever seen someone drink spiritual tea in one gulp." The girl in white said, "Normally, Spirit Condensation cultivators sip it slowly, drinking it in dozens of times, so that they can withstand the surging spiritual power in their bodies. You drank it all in one gulp, which is equivalent to enduring dozens of times the spiritual power impact of others!"

"Not bad!" Shen Zige saw Shi Yuan drink the spiritual tea in one gulp as he came up.
