Invincible? What Do You Mean, Invincible?

The rewards for the Outer Sect Competition were basically the same every year, and Lu Yi and the others were not surprised.

To them, Foundation Establishment Pills were good things that could increase the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Low-Grade Magic Item awarded to first place was naturally even more precious, but the most important thing was still that the top ten could enter the inner sect.

That was the truly wonderful part.

"All right, that is all for today. You may all leave." After saying that, Dugu Fang vanished from the arena.

Lu Yi and the others exchanged glances. Bai Yulong lightly flicked his folding fan and said with a smile, "Everyone, the competition has been tiring as well. I should return and rest up. Farewell."

Jiang Fan nodded at Lu Yi and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Lu Yi, spar with me sometime when you are free."

Lu Yi nodded repeatedly with a grin. "No problem."

After that, everyone went their separate ways.

Just as before, Lu Yi did not wait for Lu Gaoyang and Wang Siqi, returning home by himself.

After returning to his room, Lu Yi could not wait to claim his rewards.

There were simply too many rewards to claim this time.

Mission

Participate in the White Cloud Sect Outer Sect Competition (Completed)

Defeat Tie Man (Completed)

Defeat Lin Wan'er (Completed)

Defeat Jiang Fan (Completed)

Of the four completed missions, the one Lu Yi looked forward to most was the first.

The White Cloud Sect Competition mission looked like a major mission at a glance. Lu Yi had taken first place, so what rewards would he receive?

Lu Yi opened the competition mission.

Mission:

Participate in the White Cloud Sect Outer Sect Competition. Rewards are determined by ranking.

Completed.

Rewards: High-Grade Magic Item Purple Jade Bell, Thunder Spirit Liquid ×1, Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill ×5, White Cloud Swordplay Level +1, White Cloud Footwork Level +1, White Cloud Qi Guiding Art Level +1

Claim rewards: Yes/No

Lu Yi: "!!!"

His eyes widened as he stared at the rewards, his breathing quickening.

Were these mission rewards not a little too generous?!

There was no need to say much about a High-Grade Magic Item. Even some Golden Core cultivators only used magical treasures of this grade. The Purple Jade Bell was a defensive magic item that could activate a protective shield. It could even withstand three attacks from a Golden Core cultivator, and Foundation Establishment cultivators would basically be unable to break through its defenses.

It was an excellent item for preserving one's life.

Lu Yi also knew about Thunder Spirit Liquid. It was a heavenly treasure that could be used for Foundation Establishment.

Generally speaking, cultivators could use Foundation Establishment Pills to break through from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, if they used special heavenly treasures to break through, they could establish an even more powerful Dao foundation. Heavenly treasures of different attributes could make one's Dao foundation more attuned to different attributes. In that case, cultivating techniques of that attribute in the future would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Generally speaking, cultivators with the means, or geniuses, would choose to seek out suitable heavenly treasures for Foundation Establishment.

Of course, not every heavenly treasure could be used for breakthroughs. Such heavenly treasures were things one could encounter only by chance, not seek by effort, and were extraordinarily precious.

Spirit liquid was one of them, and an exceptionally precious one at that.

If Lu Yi used Thunder Spirit Liquid for Foundation Establishment, his future Dao foundation would become more attuned to the Dao of Thunder, and cultivating lightning techniques would yield twice the result with half the effort.

This thing was far more precious than even a High-Grade Magic Item!

As for the Perfect Foundation Establishment Pills, they too were exceptionally precious treasures. The chance increase provided by ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills was limited, while Perfect Foundation Establishment Pills offered the greatest increase. Generally speaking, even cultivators with unsteady foundations had an extremely high chance of breaking through after using a Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill.

If combined with heavenly treasures, the foundation established would naturally become even more solid.

The remaining three rewards raised all of Lu Yi's techniques and cultivation art by one level. Thus, Lu Yi's White Cloud Swordplay, White Cloud Footwork, and White Cloud Qi Guiding Art had all reached lv9.

Lu Yi was not entirely sure how powerful lv9 White Cloud Swordplay and White Cloud Footwork were, but they were certainly several times stronger than White Cloud Swordplay and White Cloud Footwork at the Returning to Purity Realm. They probably would not be inferior to ordinary Foundation Establishment Techniques.

As for the White Cloud Qi Guiding Art reaching lv9, Lu Yi's cultivation speed would become even faster. Perhaps it would not be long before he could break through to the peak of Qi Refining and begin preparing for a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Lu Yi was exceedingly satisfied with these rewards and hurriedly chose to claim them.

At once, the rewards materialized one after another.

A palm-sized, exquisitely crafted little purple jade bell appeared on Lu Yi's table. It was the High-Grade Magic Item, the Purple Jade Bell.

Beside it were five entirely purple, crystalline pills. They were Perfect Foundation Establishment Pills.

And beside those was a transparent crystal vial. Within it was a drop of purple liquid, with arcs of lightning flowing through it. It was Thunder Spirit Liquid.

Lu Yi put away all these treasures and stored them against his chest.

Just then, a great deal of information appeared in his mind, all of it concerning White Cloud Swordplay, White Cloud Footwork, and the White Cloud Qi Guiding Art.

The profound information made Lu Yi's head swell slightly, and he could not help frowning.

A moment later, Lu Yi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. He had absorbed the information and raised his cultivation art and techniques to lv9.

He sensed the changes in his two techniques and one cultivation art, and the corners of his lips rose into a smile.

This time, his gains were simply enormous.

If he used lv9 techniques and cultivation art, Lu Yi felt that dealing with ordinary low-level Foundation Establishment cultivators should no longer pose much of a problem, right?

With the Flowing Cloud Boots and Purple Jade Bell added on top of that, Lu Yi felt that he should be able to remain undefeated within the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even against a Golden Core powerhouse, he had some hope of escaping.

One had to know that Lu Yi was only at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

How were the two words "invincible" written? Just look at him and you would know.

But Lu Yi quickly snapped awake inside. No! He could not get carried away!

Lu Yi hurriedly gave himself a mental suggestion.

I'm practically a useless rookie! Far too weak!

I'm already at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and I'm still thinking about escaping from Golden Core cultivators? How pathetic! If I've got what it takes, I should crush Golden Core cultivators!

I'm already sixteen and only at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. Just look at Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang—she was already at Golden Core at nineteen. With talent like this, I might as well go work in a factory tightening screws!

Invincible? What invincible? Leaving everything else aside, am I invincible in the White Cloud Sect? No!

Cultivate diligently and improve every day!

The clumsy bird must fly first!

After suggesting these things to himself for a while, Lu Yi's heart settled down.

Mm, he was still just an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. There was nothing to be proud of.

Lu Yi began claiming his other rewards.

The reward for defeating Senior Brother Tie Man was four Perfect Yellow Bright Pills. After claiming them and putting them away, Lu Yi also began considering finding a Body Tempering Technique to cultivate after entering the inner sect.

Generally speaking, the more solid a cultivator's foundation in the Qi Refining Realm, the stronger the Dao foundation they would establish. He felt that he had to train in every aspect. After cultivating each of them to the limit, the Dao foundation he established should not be weak.

After all, the foundation was the most important thing.

Lin Wan'er's reward was the special technique "Forget Dust Technique." After Lu Yi claimed it, streams of information entered his mind.

After absorbing the information, Lu Yi's expression gradually became strange.

Strictly speaking, the Forget Dust Technique was a technique involving the soul. It could make someone forget memories from a certain period of time. The greater the gap in spiritual power, the higher the success rate of the technique.

Lu Yi fell somewhat silent. Well, damn, was this not just making someone lose their memory?

For some reason, he felt that this kind of technique only appeared in those special comics from Neon, right?

Several bold ways to use it had already surfaced in his mind.

But the moment those ideas appeared, Lu Yi decisively snuffed them out.

What a joke. He, Lu, was a handsome young man loved by all who saw him, making flowers bloom wherever he went, standing tall as jade in the wind, and charming beyond compare. How could he possibly use such disgraceful methods?!

He was not that kind of person!
