Lu Jiaojiao spent two days playing with Xia Qingqing, and on the third day, she expressed her apologies to her:

"Sister Qingqing, I need to focus on my cultivation now, so I might not be able to spend more time with you in the coming days."

"It's alright, cultivation is more important," Xia Qingqing said, expressing her understanding.

Lu Jiaojiao sighed, "If only you could cultivate too, then you could come with me to do missions in a few days."

"What kind of mission is it? Can't I come along?" Xia Qingqing asked curiously.

Having finally come to this magical world of cultivation, she still wanted to see more of the world.

But the premise is that she must ensure her own safety. If her life is in danger, she should just stay in Xuantianmen for a few months and maybe she can go home when the time comes.

"It's a mission we received at the Mission Hall, but it's not convenient for you to come with us, Sister Qingqing. It's too dangerous for you to go without cultivation," Lu Jiaojiao said earnestly.

Xia Qingqing blinked and said, "Although I don't have any cultivation, I do have special abilities. I wonder what level that would be considered here."

"Huh? What kind of superpower?" Lu Jiaojiao asked, looking puzzled.

Xia Qingqing smiled brightly, waved her hand, and shot an ice arrow at the large rock in the courtyard, which shattered instantly.

Lu Jiaojiao opened her mouth in shock: "Sister Qingqing, could it be that you have an ice spiritual root? No, if you have a spiritual root, you shouldn't be unable to detect it when testing spirit stones."

"This isn't a spiritual root, but a special ability—an ability I unleashed in another world," Xia Qingqing explained.

Lu Jiaojiao nodded as if she understood: "Okay, but it looks pretty powerful. Sister Qingqing, let's have a match and see what level your superpower is."

“Okay,” Xia Qingqing readily agreed.

The two went to the mountain where Lu Jiaojiao usually practiced swordsmanship. Because she was worried about hurting Xia Qingqing, Lu Jiaojiao was initially hesitant and dared not use her full strength. However, she soon found that she was actually struggling to hold her own.

She quickly dodged the ice arrow Xia Qingqing shot at her, and reminded her with a smile, "Sister Qingqing, be careful, I'm getting serious."

"Bring it on," Xia Qingqing beckoned to her.

The fight between the two quickly attracted the attention of Lu Xingzhou and Xiao Youling.

Xiao Youling raised an eyebrow: "Ice-type ability, huh? It's actually comparable to Jiao Jiao's strength."

"It's still a little short; Jiaojiao went easy on us," Lu Xingzhou commented objectively.

After all, his daughter was someone he and his wife had personally raised, and he was well aware of her abilities.

Sword cultivators are basically invincible among their peers, but Lu Jiaojiao was probably afraid of hurting her opponent, so she didn't use her sword and instead used magic to fight her opponent.

Xiao Youling glared at the man playfully: "You really are something. How can children use their full strength in a friendly sparring match? Qingqing was holding back too."

"Yes, my wife is right," Lu Xingzhou immediately admitted his mistake, his obsequious attitude was unbearable to watch. No one could imagine that the dignified Master of Wanjianfeng Peak would be like this when facing his wife in private.

On the other side, Lu Jiaojiao and Xia Qingqing were having a fierce fight.

"Wow~, I didn't expect Sister Qingqing to be so amazing," Lu Jiaojiao said with sparkling eyes.

Xia Qingqing was a little embarrassed by the praise: "No, I definitely couldn't beat you in a real fight."

Her current ability level is level 4, which is barely enough to fight Lu Jiaojiao.

However, the cultivation world has many magical treasures and artifacts, especially after reaching the Golden Core stage, one can refine one's own natal magical treasure. Her special ability looks cool, but she can't use these things.

So if Lu Jiaojiao is her enemy, then she probably won't last long under her.

"That's already pretty good. You can come with me on a mission in a couple of days," Lu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Okay!"

......

For the next two days, Xia Qingqing stayed in her room to cultivate her superpowers. She wasn't particularly diligent in her cultivation because she had a limited number of crystal cores that would eventually run out, so being too diligent wouldn't help.

When the time arrived that Lu Jiaojiao had agreed upon with her senior brothers and sisters, she packed her things and prepared to leave.

Before setting off, Lu Jiaojiao took Xia Qingqing to her parents' courtyard.

Xiao Youling handed Xia Qingqing a jade pendant: "Three of my sword energies are sealed inside. Take it; you might find it useful."

"Thank you, Sister Youling," Xia Qingqing said sincerely.

Of course, verbal thanks were just empty words. She left Xiao Youling with many things from the modern world, including food, drinks, household items, cell phones, tablets, and so on.

Xiao Youling liked these things very much. They could help her relax during her boring and long cultivation life. Heaven knows how she got through the previous two hundred years. If it weren't for Lu Xingzhou going out with her every now and then, she might have developed depression from staying in Xuantianmen every day.

When Lu Jiaojiao and Xia Qingqing arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate barrier, they saw three exceptionally beautiful young men and women standing there from afar.

One of the boys saw the two approaching and gave them a bright smile: "Junior Sister Lu, you're here!"

Two days ago, Lu Jiaojiao told the group that she would be bringing a friend along on this mission. The three of them had a good relationship with Lu Jiaojiao and knew that she wouldn't do anything reckless, so even though they found it a bit strange, they didn't object.

"Senior Brother Meng, Senior Sister Liu, Senior Brother Mu," Lu Jiaojiao nodded to the three of them, and then introduced Xia Qingqing to them.

Meng Jiayu looked Xia Qingqing up and down with a curious gaze, then gave her a friendly smile: "Friendly Dao Xia."

"Alright, it's getting late, let's get going," Mu Yuankai reminded him.

As he spoke, he took out a flying boat and tossed it into the air, instantly transforming the palm-sized boat into a giant flying boat.

After everyone boarded the flying boat, Mu Yuankai steered it toward its destination.

In no time, the group appeared in the Xuantian Sect's market. They usually came here to buy things they might need before going on missions, such as pills, array plates, and talismans, which are all consumables that they had to prepare before each mission.

Mu Yuankai looked at everyone and said, "Split up and meet back in half an hour."

This was already an unspoken agreement among them. After all, everyone needed different supplements, and acting together would be a waste of time. So, as soon as he finished speaking, the group dispersed.

Lu Jiaojiao looked at Xia Qingqing beside her and said, "Sister Qingqing, is there anything you want to buy?"

"I killed two demonic beasts before, and that Fellow Daoist Xu said I could sell them for spirit stones. Where should I go to trade them?" Xia Qingqing asked.

Lu Jiaojiao took her to a shop, where Xia Qingqing sold two demonic beasts from her system warehouse for 350 spirit stones.
