Chapter 36: Leaving An Impression
After Chen Mu sent out his mission application to the sect, he had already written a script in his mind.
If the sect arranged a simple mission for him, such as killing weak evil cultivators or spirit monsters that caused trouble, then before he arrived at the mission location, he would secretly stuff a huge pile of spirit stones to the evil cultivator or spirit monster.
After completing the mission, he would naturally gain a lot of loot.
On the way back to the sect, he would find a small cave to rest for the night and ‘accidentally’ find another fortuitous encounter.
In the end, he would return to the sect as a cultivator at the eighth-stage Qi Refinement Realm.
Sigh…
Everyone would be happy!
Naturally so!
However, there were also difficulties.
He was afraid that the sect would send experts to secretly protect him. If that was the case, it would be inconvenient for him to search for a ‘fortuitous encounter’.
Therefore, ever since he sent out the mission application, he had been thinking about how to solve this problem.
…
After sending out the request for half a day, the mission was issued.
Chen Mu was stunned when he saw the contents of the mission.
It was completely different from what he had imagined!
“The war between the Yan and Zhao is getting more and more intense. The Flying Bull Prefecture has recently gathered a large amount of provisions and fodder and is preparing to transport them to the front lines.”
“However, when they were passing by Flying Cloud Cliff, they were harassed by a spirit monster, causing them to suffer heavy losses.”
“This spirit monster is a black tiger with a huge body and shocking strength!”
“It had already slaughtered hundreds of ordinary soldiers!”
“The sect sent a cultivator at the tenth-stage Qi Refinement Realm but he returned with serious injuries!”
“I now order you to follow the fifth senior sister of the sect, Li Lingqi, to kill this spirit monster. Remember, your mission is to block the aftermath of the battle and avoid harming ordinary soldiers.”
“This trip is rather dangerous. Be extremely careful.”
…
“Are they serious?”
“Even a tenth-stage Qi Refinement Cultivator returned with serious injuries. They want me to go on such a mission? ”
Chen Mu muttered to himself.
He had some suspicions.
He suspected that the Azure Yang Sect had deliberately described the danger like this so that he would be careful and stay vigilant.
After all, in the eyes of the Azure Yang Sect, his cultivation was still very weak. There was no reason for him to accept such a dangerous mission, even if he was just an accompanying disciple.
However, he could not be careless just because he was suspicious.
He had to take things seriously.
Right now, there were more than 150 attributes stored in the Little Assistant. If he used Instant Absorption, he could reach the tenth-stage of Qi Refinement in an instant.
The tenth-stage of Qi Refinement coupled with the Mystic Spirit Thick Earth Shield of the Divine Earth Technique meant that even without Senior Sister Li, protecting his life would not be a problem.
…
After learning about his mission, Chen Mu started to investigate the situation.
The first was the fifth senior sister of the Azure Yang Sect, Li Lingqi.
He had to figure out if this teammate was a godly assist or a crippling one.
Li Lingqi was quite famous in the Azure Yang Sect. Chen Mu investigated her briefly and found out the truth.
This senior sister was upright and understanding. She would often guide some disciples in their cultivation and was loved and respected by many inner and Outer Sect disciples.
As for cultivation…
She was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and her spiritual root was the fire spiritual root.
After learning that this senior sister had a fire spiritual root, Chen Mu had some thoughts.
Other than the earth spiritual root, among the remaining five spiritual roots, what he wanted the most was the fire spiritual root attribute.
There was no other reason but because he had a fire spiritual root to begin with.
To him, as long as he could extract five attribute points of the fire spiritual root, he could gain the Fire Spirit Physique.
It was much easier than the remaining three spiritual roots.
“That spirit monster was able to severely injure a cultivator at the tenth-stage Qi Refinement Realm. Its cultivation level should not be weak. However, it is definitely not Senior Sister Li’s match.”
“If it can defeat Senior Sister Li, the cultivator at the tenth-stage of Qi Refinement will not be able to return alive.”
With Chen Mu’s analysis, he felt that the spirit might not be able to last more than a few moves.
In that case, he would not be able to extract many spiritual root attributes.
Since he could not extract many spiritual root attributes from this mission, he could only take another path.
First, he had to familiarize himself with this Senior Sister Li. Next time, he might have a chance to watch her fight wherever she went.
As for sparring… Forget about it for now.
…
Apart from this senior sister, Chen Mu also obtained another important piece of news from this mission.
It turned out that the countries of Yan and Zhao were at war.
Honestly speaking, he really did not know about this.
Stone Village was located in a remote area and there was no news outlet.
Later on, he came to Flying Bull City, and it was also the time of the Azure Yang Sect’s recruitment. All other news had been suppressed.
Therefore, he had never heard of the war between the two countries.
Chen Mu’s heart sank when he heard the news.
In a society like this, once a war broke out, the common people would immediately fall into deep suffering.
It was no wonder so many bandits had appeared in the past half a year.
He had not reached the point where he was worried about the world, but he was worried about Stone Village.
“I have to find some time to go back and take a look.” Chen Mu thought of this and made up his mind.
…
Half a day later, at the entrance of the stone forest.
Chen Mu saw Li Lingqi.
As soon as they met, they could not help but evaluate each other.
This Senior Sister Li had an oval-shaped face and a delicate appearance. Her gaze was gentle and she gave off a close and intimate feeling like the big sister next door.
At this moment, she was wearing ordinary core disciple clothes and was also sizing him up.
Compared to the gazes of those girls from Stone Village, this Senior Sister Li’s gaze was rather frank and did not give others a feeling of discomfort.
“Outer Sect disciple Chen Mu greets Fifth Senior Sister!” Chen Mu bowed.
The status of the top ranked disciples in the sect was much higher than ordinary deacons. Ordinary Outer Sect disciples would bow to such an existence.
“You’re welcome. Just call me Senior Sister Li.” Li Lingqi raised her hand slightly.
She was also sizing up this Outer Sect disciple whom the sect attached great importance to.
The first thing she noticed was his appearance.
It had to be said that this Junior Brother Chen had an extraordinary appearance, especially his pair of eyes. They were deep and spirited like the morning sun.
What was even rarer was that even though this junior brother had an extraordinary appearance and had contributed greatly to the sect, his attitude was extremely humble, and there was not the slightest hint of arrogance on his face.
This gave her a good impression of him.
This Junior Brother Chen should be someone easy to get along with.
Putting aside appearances, what followed was cultivation.
She subconsciously looked at the area around Chen Mu’s dantian.
Having reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, her vision was as bright as a torch. She could clearly see the spiritual energy in the air and could also judge a cultivator’s cultivation based on the changes in the spiritual energy near their dantian.
However, in her eyes, the spiritual energy around Chen Mu’s dantian did not change at all.
Li Lingqi suddenly understood.
The Outer Sect disciple clothes that Junior Brother Chen was wearing might be slightly different and could block the observation of others.
As expected of a valued disciple of the sect… even his clothes were specially made.
…
Chen Mu only knew that there were hidden layers in his clothes, but he did not know the specific function they had. When he saw Li Lingqi looking at his dantian, his heart tightened. He quickly changed the topic and asked, “Senior Sister Li, when are we leaving?”
“We’ll set off now, but we have to walk to the main camp of Flying Bull City first.”
“You also know that cultivators are not allowed to participate in the war between mortals. It would not be good if we flew over directly.” Li Lingqi said.
Chen Mu had wanted to experience the feeling of Sword Kinesis Flight, but he could only give up when he heard that.
He did not expect cultivators to be so wary of mortal wars.
The Flying Bull City’s main camp should be near the city, about one to two hundred li from the Azure Yang Sect.
It would take quite some time to walk there.
However… he could make use of this opportunity to get to know Senior Sister Li better.
