Lan Hua muttered, "To fly using an object, it would be best to refine a natal object!"

What should I use?

"We can't use a willow bow, can we? Those are for fighting!"

On second thought, although the willow bow couldn't be used, the black iron arrow could.

"That stone block is not bad either. Although it has lost the quality of a celestial artifact, it is sturdy and convenient for me to smash people in the future!"

"Then let's refine both of them together!"

Lan Hua put away the remaining two golden pills and began to refine the black iron arrow and stone block with her Yuan energy.

The black iron arrow was fine; he refined it in just half a day and could control it freely.

However, it took three whole days to refine that stone pillar, which really consumed a lot of Lan Hua's Yuan energy and mental energy.

Fortunately, this stone pillar lost its immortal grade; otherwise, with Lan Hua's current strength, it would have taken her at least one or two years to refine it.

It should be understood that immortal artifacts are different from spiritual artifacts and treasure artifacts; their immortal power is unshakeable, and they are the most difficult to refine.

"Very good. Now that my strength has greatly increased, it's time to go to the Myriad Weapons Sect and forge a few Cloud Piercing Arrows!"

Just as Lan Hua was about to set off, the communication jade talisman in her bosom lit up.

"Um?"

"The Burial God Alliance has assigned me another mission!"

Lan Hua decisively accepted the task.

If you can make money, what's the difference between you and a fool?

Suddenly, a faint sound reached Lan Hua's ears; it was the sound of weeds being trampled.

Lan Hua has now broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, her divine sense has greatly increased, and the range of her perception has also greatly expanded.

Lan Hua could distinguish even the slightest sound.

Before long, a person entered the cave; it was Zhao Xing'er.

"Lanhua, what are you doing here?"

"The old man is gone, why are you still in this cave?"

The two immediately began asking each other questions upon meeting.

Zhao Xing'er then asked, "Your cultivation... has it broken through to the Yuan Dan realm?"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "It seems you've broken through to the Transformation Realm. Congratulations!"

Zhao Xing'er showed a hint of worry.

"I really can't see through you. It's our first meeting, and it was in the secret chamber of the Yinluo Sect!"

"Back then, our cultivation levels were about the same, but now, even if I tried to outdo you, I couldn't catch up!"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "Your talent is quite good. I believe your achievements will definitely surpass those of Senior Brother Zhou Kai!"

After saying that, Lan Hua took out a Nine-Absolute Golden Pill.

"This pill can help you improve your cultivation. Consider it repayment for your kindness in introducing me to Senior Helian!"

Zhao Xing'er accepted the Nine Absolute Golden Pill, a hint of doubt on her face.

Lan Hua smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I refined this pill myself, it's non-toxic!"

After saying that, Lan Hua walked towards the cave entrance.

"We part today, and I don't know when we'll meet again. Take care!"

After leaving the back mountain of the Immortal Talisman Sect, Lan Hua headed straight for the northwest.

He was to go and kill someone; this was a mission given to him by the Burial God Alliance.

The person they wanted to kill was Chen Ke, a rogue cultivator who lived in a Taoist temple in Bailong Mountain.

Bailong Mountain is located in the southern part of the Northern Region, not far from the border between the Central Region and the Northern Region.

The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.

As far as Lan Hua knows, most of the Northern Region is a frozen world, a vast expanse of white.

In the northern part of the Northern Region, the snow never melts.

Since breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm, Lan Hua has been able to ride on black iron arrows and fly.

The journey from the Immortal Talisman Sect to White Dragon Mountain, a distance of tens of thousands of miles, took only seven days.

Lan Hua originally thought that flying by controlling objects was very simple and that she could travel ten thousand miles a day.

Unexpectedly, after flying two thousand miles in one go, his Yuan energy was almost completely depleted, forcing him to rest halfway to recover.

"Flying by maneuvering is really hard work!"

The closer Lanhua got to Bailong Mountain, the more uneasy she felt.

Normally, the locations for orders I take are not too far away, at most a thousand miles, and I have never left the Eastern Region.

But this time, the assassination mission was tens of thousands of miles away, and it was a cross-regional assassination.

What's even more remarkable is that the client had no requirements regarding the timing of the assassination, something Lanhua had never encountered before.

He recalled Zhao Xueli's warning that something might happen to the Burial God Alliance.

"Could this mission be a trap?"

"I have to be careful, I can't afford to make a fool of myself!"

Before even reaching Bailong Mountain, Lan Hua landed on the ground, intending to thoroughly explore what Bailong Mountain was all about.

With a flick of his fingers, a talisman formed and landed on Lan Hua.

His aura vanished instantly, as if he had merged with the world.

Upon entering Bailong Mountain, Lan Hua headed straight for the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple was built halfway up the mountain and was in a dilapidated state.

Lan Hua found a high spot and began to observe the dilapidated Taoist temple in the distance.

He has now broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, and the Yin Yang Heavenly Technique has also broken through to the third level. Not only has his divine sense greatly increased, but even his Thousand-Mile Vision has improved a lot.

Within a thousand feet, nothing can escape his discerning eye.

There were no Taoist priests left in the temple, only a man who occasionally came in and out.

"Could this person be Chen Ke?"

"The one I was supposed to assassinate?"

Lan Hua did not act rashly and observed from the high ground for two days and two nights.

The man did not deliberately conceal his cultivation level; he possessed a cultivation level of the second level of the Yuan Dan realm.

Although his cultivation level was higher than Lan Hua's, given Lan Hua's status as an archer and her use of black iron talisman arrows, killing this person would not be difficult.

"Fine, let's not wait any longer, let's kill them first!"

Just as Lan Hua was about to unleash her piercing bow, the man suddenly looked in another direction.

"My name is Chen Ke, and I am the very person you are trying to assassinate. You'd better come out!"

Chen Ke's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed clearly throughout the mountains.

Lan Hua let out a silent exclamation of surprise.

"What's going on? We've been discovered?"

"Or is it that I wasn't the only one who tried to assassinate Chen Ke?"

Just as Lan Hua was wondering what was going on, a voice came from inside.

"Since you are Chen Ke, then prepare to die!"

The voice was melodious and clear; it was a woman's voice.

call out!

A silver arrow shot towards Chen Ke, and the air seemed to freeze where the arrow landed.

"That's... an ice arrow!"

Lan Hua was taken aback.

"That woman is actually a bow cultivator!"

Although they had never met, Lan Hua had developed a slight interest in this female archer.

Chen Ke smiled slightly, and with a slight movement of his right hand, a beam of silver light shot out, its speed even faster than that of a silver arrow.

Bang!

The nearly ten-foot-long silver arrow encountered that silver light and was pierced through the heart, then shot back in the direction from which the arrow came.

Lan Hua was shocked once again.

If he hadn't possessed the ability to see a thousand miles, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the silver light was actually a tiny embroidery needle.

What shocked him even more was that the silver needle pierced through the ice arrow, causing it to shatter inch by inch, and then struck back at the person who shot the arrow.

This method is truly ingenious.

"Holy crap, could we be running into Dongfang Bubai?"

In the distance, a figure swiftly dodged the attack of the silver needles.

Bang!

The silver needle sank into the rock behind her.

Lan Hua gasped in shock; the power of the silver needles was truly astonishing.

This forced him to reconsider the gap in strength between himself and Chen Ke.

He was previously confident that he could take it slow, but now it seems that if he really faces Chen Ke, the outcome is still uncertain.

Chen Ke looked at the woman who had appeared, still maintaining his smile.

It seems that no matter what happens, this person can remain calm and composed.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Blood Rose, the second-ranked assassin on the newcomer list, right?"
