The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Seeing the notification at hand, Lin Yi can’t help but blink. The title [I am Number One] seems a bit on the nose. If this title were to be displayed publicly, his Hatred Value would likely skyrocket.

His gaze immediately fixed on the title, he briefly looked at the effects, and then he was stunned in place. He couldn’t help but laugh. Well, he sure had guessed right.

“[I Am Number One]: As the first, you are destined to attract attention. The longer you stay in an environment, the more attention you get. (Note: This title cannot be upgraded. Creatures other than humans will also be attracted to your

Number One glow.)”

This was the complete opposite of the underdogs, the longer you stay in an environment, the higher the attention. Moreover, other creatures will also be attracted, which is like a mockery in the game – specifically used to attract attention.

Lin Yi helplessly shook his head. He couldn’t figure out where he could use this title for the time being, so he could only store it in the title library.

Luckily it’s non-upgradable. Otherwise, he would have to roam around with this title, which would undoubtedly be too conspicuous.

If he were to wear this title on Earth, it would undoubtedly be a head-turner, the kind that attracts attention regardless of gender.

Too bad if the title [Underdogs] had this kind of effect, the longer you stayed in an environment, the lower the presence would be. Within no time, he would probably become invisible in the Liu Yun Sect.

Lin Yi stayed in the Outer Sect Spiritual Field Plantation Area for two more days, filling in the traps in his yard and the underground secret in the house.

On the day he prepared to go to the Inner Sect, snow suddenly began to fall. Winter had arrived. He went to Old Huang’s house next door to say goodbye and found the front door was wide open. He slowly walked in.

A middle-aged man in Sinong Palace clothes walked out. The color and ornamentation on his clothes represented that he was a Deacon.

“Fellow Huang, I am leaving first. You can report in a few days.” The Deacon came out and saw Lin Yi in the yard. He couldn’t help but smile and greet him, “Junior Brother Lin, you have not reported to the Inner Sect yet.”

“Senior Brother, I plan to leave today.” Lin Yi replied.

“Good. The sooner you enter the Inner Sect, the sooner you can devote yourself to cultivation. Don’t let down the Hall Master’s rewards.” The Deacon nodded lightly and then excused himself to leave.

“Little Lin, you are about to enter the Inner Sect. Remember to cultivate diligently.” Old Huang patted his shoulder with a smile and couldn’t help but cough a few times.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but say, “Old Huang, did the Deacon just come to deliver the reward? You could enter the Inner Sect with me. Inner Sect disciples can employ some Outer Sect followers.”

Old Huang smiled and waved his hand, “Alright, you go ahead into the Inner Sect. Don’t worry about me. Being alone in the Outer Sect is very free. That’s nice.”

“The Deacon who just came was here to inform me that Master Zhou has rewarded me with a leisurely position as a Deputy Assistant for my many years of farming in the Outer Gate. I just need to drink tea and sort out some files every day. This is exactly what I wanted.”

“If I had to stay in the Inner Sect with nothing to do, I would die of boredom.” Lin Yi also smiled. People like Old Huang who liked to wander about reallv didn’t seem like they could sit still. He nodded, “Alright, since you’ve already decided, I won’t insist. I’ll leave the chickens here. When the New Year comes, I’ll come over to eat.”

“Pfft, you just want me to raise them for you. And by the way, you should leave Big Black here. So it can keep Little Black company.” Old Huang couldn’t help but chuckle and scold.

“I can’t decide that on my own. I have to ask Zhi Ling.” Lin Yi shook his head and said. When he went to Qing Yun City for cultivation, Big Black and Zhi Ling were at home waiting for him and they also became companions.

Old Huang gave him a sly grin, “You should also leave Zhi Ling… no, nevermind. Zhi Ling dislikes the food I make. She definitely can’t stay.” He quickly shook his hand and disagreed halfway through as he remembered the grimace Zhi Ling made toward his food.

Lin Yi returned home, called over Zhi Ling, and pointed to Big Black next to him, “Zhi Ling, we are going to our new home. The neighbor Old Huang, who cooks terrible food, wants Big Black to stay. What do you think?”

Zhi Ling’s small eyes rolled around and looked at Big Black. She suddenly jumped onto Big Black’s head, lightly tapped with her small claw, and called twice.

“Big Black, stay with Little Black and take care of Old Huang.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but pat Big Black’s head and said.

After saying goodbye to Old Huang, Lin Yi packed his things and headed to the Inner Sect with Zhi Ling.

He had also followed Li Yuanqing into the Inner Sect Legal Hall before. The Inner Sect was indeed more extensive than the Outer Sect.

As some Qi Refining disciples lack the ability to fly, there are special flight artifacts for ferrying at the entrance, and the prices differ based on the distance.

When they visited the Legal Hall, they used the flight artifact and Li Yuanqing paid the necessary Spirit Stones.

At the entrance of the Inner Sect, there is a massive stone monument written with the words Liu Yun. If you infuse it with spiritual power, words will appear, recording the history of the Liu Yun Sect and their glorious achievements.

Legend has it that these two words, Liu Yun, were written by the founder, Ancestor Liu Yun. They are full of elegance and freedom, just like flowing clouds—mysterious and unpredictable.

However, he sensed the breath of wind in these words, and after pondering for some time, he gained nothing from it.

Lin Yi shook his head. Perhaps it’s because his realm isn’t high enough. After all, he is only at Qi Refinement, not yet a Foundation Establishment – a genuine cultivator. Thus, he continued forward, seeing the clouded area ahead.

The true Liu Yun Sect lies inside the Inner Sect. The Outer Gate is only an external area.

The entire Inner Sect was shrouded in clouds, and nothing could be seen from outside. Only by stimulating the Inner Sect Disciple Nameplate could one enter.

Lin Yi took out the jade that represented his status as an Inner Sect disciple, infused it with spiritual power, and a bright light appeared. The clouds in front of him gradually dissipated, revealing a path, and he slowly stepped on it.

The moment he stepped in, he felt a divine intent sweep over him, and he understood why the Inner Sect was unharmed during the Evil Spirits’ chaos.

After walking a short distance, the clouds suddenly dispersed, and his field of vision broadened. There was a world that resembled a fairytale realm with clouds shrouding towering mountains in the distance.

Even some mountains were floating in mid-air, with waterfalls flowing downwards. Above the sky, numerous sword lights flew past, making it a completely different world compared to the Outer Sect.

The current location is a reception platform, seemingly built by cutting the top of a mountain straight clean. From here, you take a flight artifact to reach any place in the Liu Yun Sect.

Gazing at the fairytale-like view coming from afar and feeling the richer spiritual energy compared to the Outer Sect, Lin Yi felt a sense of relief. The Zhi Ling by his side was also squeaking, as if saying, I’ve been here before..
