I took a deep breath and made a silent resolution. Since I had been reborn, I couldn't repeat my past mistakes. In this life, I would strive to cultivate diligently, hide my true strength, and play the role of a fool to deceive the wise.
Early in the morning, I got up before dawn and sneaked to the back mountain to practice. The mist curled around the mountains, and dew sparkled on the grass blades. I found a flat rock, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate my energy. The spiritual power flowed slowly through my meridians, again and again, until the sun rose before I finally stopped.
Upon returning to the Sect, I feigned exhaustion. The other disciples looked at me and shook their heads with sighs, saying, "This kid probably has no talent; no matter how hard he works, he won't make any progress." I could only smile bitterly at their comments while secretly feeling pleased.
Although I needed to keep a low profile, I couldn't completely isolate myself from the world. I began to utilize the meager connections of my original self to gather information. The Yin Ming Hall had a vast influence in the cultivation world, with its reach extending into various Sects. I learned that they had planted many spies within our Sect, which made me even more vigilant.
Days passed by in this manner. Before long, the day of the Outer Sect Competition arrived. Initially, I intended to continue hiding my strength, but then I realized that if I wanted better cultivation resources, entering the Inner Sect was essential.
On the day of the competition, I deliberately acted nervous. The other disciples scoffed at my demeanor. The first round was a Spell contest; I pretended to be flustered but managed to deliver a stunning counterattack at a critical moment and narrowly defeated my opponent.
As the competition progressed, I advanced through each round by the skin of my teeth. Finally, in the finals, my opponent was a well-known genius disciple from the Outer Sect. As soon as he took the stage, he unleashed his most powerful move while I feigned panic and dodged around. Just when it seemed like I would lose, I suddenly erupted with strength and defeated him in one blow. The crowd gasped; no one expected me to win first place as a Dark Horse.
"This kid is really hiding his capabilities!" The audience buzzed with excitement. Inside, I chuckled while maintaining an expression of surprise and humility.
After entering the Inner Sect, I gained access to superior cultivation resources. I chose a secluded cave for my retreat and continued to cultivate discreetly. Every day, I rose before dawn and only rested late at night. Day after day, my strength surged dramatically.
One day while browsing through books in the library, I stumbled upon an ancient tome that was worn and tattered. To my delight, it contained records of a long-lost Alchemy technique. My heart leaped with joy as if I had found treasure.
From that day on, I began learning how to refine pills. At first, I faced numerous failures; several alchemical furnaces exploded during my attempts. However, I did not lose heart and dedicated myself day and night to research. Gradually, I discovered that I seemed to possess an innate talent for Alchemy. Unbeknownst to me, the quality of the pills I refined began to improve significantly.
"These pills... are actually Seventh Grade!" One day an elder exclaimed in astonishment. My heart raced; I hadn't expected to accidentally produce such high-quality pills. From then on, I began discreetly selling these pills to earn spirit stones and acquire more cultivation resources.
The days were calm and fulfilling, and my strength and Alchemy skills were steadily improving. However, the tranquility was short-lived, as the appearance of one person shattered my peaceful cultivation life.
That day, I was focused on refining pills in my cave when I suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching. Startled, I looked up to see an extraordinarily handsome man standing at the entrance, smiling at me.
"Th-thank you, Senior Brother," I stammered, my heart racing with panic. This person was none other than Xie Wuyuan!
"Junior Brother, I've heard so much about you," Xie Wuyuan said with a grin. "I’ve heard that you are quite skilled in pill refining. May I ask you to teach me a few techniques?"
I forced myself to appear calm, but inside I was screaming: Please spare me, great one! Why would someone like you be interested in a small fry like me? I don’t know anything!
Looking at Xie Wuyuan's half-smiling expression, I realized that my peaceful days were likely over.
