Chapter 93

"Uh... Thank you, Senior Sister, for your appreciation. However, I am solely focused on cultivation, and such sparring is not suitable for me. Please find someone else!" Su Shier's lips twitched slightly as he firmly declined.

Whatever sect competition, whatever sparring, he was not interested at all.

This time, his main goal was only one: to obtain the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, then to close himself off for cultivation until he reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Uh... Su Shier is good in every way, but he is just too cautious in his actions.

Xiao Yue secretly complained, then continued to look at Su Shier and said,

"Don't rush to refuse. This competition isn't about forcing you to work, but it has its benefits."

"By participating, you can obtain a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills. These are cultivation pills that are several times more effective than Qi Gathering Pills."

"If you win in the sparring, you can also get a chance to select a cultivation technique from the library, as well as a second-grade spirit material."

A chance to select a cultivation technique from the library?

Su Shier's eyebrows raised at this, and he felt a bit tempted. But thinking about the risks of exposing his strength, the burning flame in his heart immediately extinguished.

"Senior Sister, I really am not suitable!" Su Shier shrank his neck, looking bitter.

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Xiao Yue maintained a smile on her face, but she was also a bit frustrated inside.

She had a good impression of Su Shier and knew his personality, so she didn't want to force him.

However, with the changes in the Sunset Forest, the disciples available in the sect were either dispatched or out on missions.

It was not easy to find a disciple at the Seventh Level of Qi Condensation in a short time.

Just as she was about to give up, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind, and she remembered something her grandfather had said.

Then, she hurriedly said to Su Shier, "Junior Brother Shier, among the spirit materials at stake in this competition on Luoyan Peak, there is a piece of Crystal Gold."

"If I remember correctly, my grandfather once said that the Yang Yuan Ruler given to you by the Grand Elder could potentially be upgraded to a spirit weapon if you could obtain Crystal Gold and the Heaven-Earth Spirit Fire!"

"That's a spirit weapon! In the entire Yun Ge Sect, there are very few elders who possess a spirit weapon! Don't you want to reconsider?"

What?

Crystal Gold?

Hearing this, Su Shier's steps came to an abrupt stop.

His Yang Yuan Ruler already had the Heaven-Earth Spirit Fire, and it was the most yang and powerful Yun Yang Spirit Fire. Now, it only lacked the spirit material, Crystal Gold.

If he could refine the Yang Yuan Ruler into a spirit weapon and then temper it with the mysterious alchemy furnace, the thought of it made Su Shier's heart beat wildly.

A mid-grade, or even high-grade spirit weapon, would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

And this would be his biggest trump card in the face of danger.

If it were just a chance to go to the library, he wouldn't care.

But with this added, it was a deal he couldn't refuse!

Taking a deep breath, Su Shier slowly turned around, feigning surprise, "Hmm? Is that so!"

"If that's the case, I might give it a try, but I'm afraid my strength is not enough, and I might lose the sparring, disgracing the peak master."

Seeing Su Shier soften, Xiao Yue grinned, "No problem. If you really lose, as long as Han Yu and I win, I will find a way to give you the Crystal Gold. Let's make it official, we'll meet at the Luofu Peak Hall in two years!"

"Thank you, Senior Sister! I'll go back and rest first, and contact you when the time comes."

Su Shier hurriedly thanked her, then quickly parted ways with Xiao Yue and headed back to his residence.

This kid, from the way he acts, must be hiding a lot of cards.

Xiao Yue narrowed her eyes, staring at Su Shier's back, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

This time, she didn't believe a single word of Su Shier's explanation. She could sense that Su Shier had a strong determination to obtain the Crystal Gold.

This made her even more convinced that Su Shier's real strength had improved significantly. It also made her more curious about him.

Back at his residence, Su Shier did not rush to submit the task and exchange for the Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

Ye Liangchuan and the other three were well-known formal disciples of Tianhua Peak.

With the disappearance of these three, Tianhua Peak would not remain silent.

Two years ago, Ye Liangchuan led people to ambush Su Shier, and many disciples of Tianhua Peak were witnesses.

Su Shier was very clear that if he showed himself now, it would certainly raise their suspicions.

The reversal of the situation during the new disciple trial, which led to the loss of Tianhua Peak, had already made the peak master, Fu Boran, harbor deep resentment towards him.

If another reason were added, it was hard to imagine what extreme actions the other side might take, regardless of their status.

Su Shier was cautious and would not put himself in such a dangerous situation.

"These days, it's not advisable to go out. I should keep a low profile for a while and wait until the situation calms down."

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Su Shier quickly sorted through the storage bags of Ye Liangchuan and the other three.

The three had quite a few items, but none of them caught his eye.

Only Ye Liangchuan's Fire Cloud Flying Sword was of decent quality, a top-grade high-level magical weapon, comparable to the Iron Blade.

However, with the current situation, Su Shier naturally couldn't use the other party's sword, so he put it in his storage bag for future use.

After sorting the items, Su Shier's gaze fell on

the other spatial magical item found on the round-faced fat man.

This was a completely black bag, similar to a storage bag, but it felt different and could not be stored in a storage bag.

"Could this be the Spirit Beast Bag mentioned in the records?"

Su Shier narrowed his eyes, and the information from the reference books immediately came to mind.

Spatial magical items come in many types, and storage bags are just the lowest level. They can only store inanimate objects and cannot contain other spatial magical items with items inside.

In addition, there is a Spirit Beast Bag, specifically used to store tamed beasts, also known as spirit beasts.

There are many types of spirit beasts, some for auxiliary attacks, some for treasure hunting, and some for tracking.

The rat beast that the round-faced fat man had was clearly a tracking spirit beast.

With this thought, Su Shier probed his consciousness into the bag.

Immediately, a small space appeared in his mind, about the size of a square meter. In the corner, a palm-sized rat spirit beast was curled up, sleeping soundly.

With a thought, the rat spirit beast appeared in Su Shier's hand.

Feeling the change in its environment, the rat spirit beast immediately woke up, baring its teeth and making a loud squeaking sound at Su Shier.

"Hmm?"

Su Shier's eyebrows furrowed, and he gave it a fierce glare.

The rat spirit beast immediately trembled, shivering in his hand, looking extremely fearful.

"Ha, no wonder they say 'timid as a mouse.' This spirit beast's courage is truly lacking!"

Su Shier chuckled, examining the spirit beast closely.

The spirit beast had snow-white fur, with almond-sized eyes that looked very intelligent.

Its palm-sized body was thin and bony, almost just skin and bones.
