Fang Ruotang had just received the missions from the Mission Hall, all of which involved materials that Yin Yue could use to reshape her physical body. Some of the rewards were particularly high because rare and precious materials were hard to find and there was a risk to life. Knowing that her older siblings hadn't set their sights too high by taking on these difficult missions, she felt relieved.
However, the materials for reshaping the physical body are extremely difficult to find, and Fang Ruotang was still worried, so she wanted to go to the Mission Hall with them to take a look.
Fang Shengtang was the same, so the two sisters went to the mission hall together.
This time, Jiang Wangzhou and Yuan Zhao did not travel together.
When they arrived, Shishi had already gathered everyone. She was short and small, but she stood at the front, talking to a group of fellow disciples who were taller than her.
Although she was young and her cultivation level was not the highest, she was highly respected by everyone in the sect because she was Fang Ruotang's first personally taught disciple.
When she gave her speech, there was complete silence.
A group of fellow disciples who were not only taller than her, but also had higher cultivation levels, listened attentively to her explanation.
When Fang Ruotang appeared, Shishi saw him, quickly finished what she wanted to say in a few words, and immediately came over to greet him.
"Master."
Fang Ruotang looked at Shishi with admiration.
"So, which mission did you choose?"
"This disciple has accepted the mission of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil."
The Nine Heavens Breath Soil is a legendary divine land that can nurture all things.
Fang Ruotang thought about the location of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. It was surrounded by ferocious beasts and was not a simple place.
She glanced at Shishi and her group.
“Master, I would like to give it a try. If I can’t get the Breath Soil, I’ll kill some ferocious beasts as a form of training.”
The rare and precious materials for reshaping the physical body are hard to find. Besides the fact that these materials are often guarded by ferocious beasts, the biggest reason is that no one knows where these materials come from.
But Fang Ruotang is different. She has the small mirror as a loophole, which is why she is so confident and able to quickly gather all the materials.
[Little mirror, check if they're in any danger on their journey?]
The small mirror immediately flipped back into the retrospective mirror.
[She wasn't in any life-threatening danger. Shishi is cautious and didn't take any risks. She knew that forcibly breaking in might not result in her seizing the Breath Soil and could even lead to the deaths of her fellow disciples. After killing several ferocious beasts, she returned.]
Fang Ruotang understood.
"Go and invite your master to come along."
She noticed that one of the people in the group looked like Jiang Wangzhou's apprentice.
Returning empty-handed only wastes time and effort.
Shishi listened quietly to Fang Ruotang's decision without commenting. She knew how capable Fang Ruotang was, and she knew that Fang Ruotang must have her reasons for making such a decision.
"Ah, yes, Sect Master."
The disciple looked completely bewildered.
That's possible.
When they go on missions, do they ask their master to accompany and protect them?
He cautiously and nervously went to find his master and explained the sect leader's intentions. His master frowned and followed him to the mission hall.
He was completely dazed, as if he had eaten mushrooms.
This was something that had never happened before, and I had never heard of a disciple going out on a mission with their master guarding them like a mother hen.
Before setting off, the master would give some instructions and it was common for him to give some protective magic items.
"Do you think they're all babies who haven't been weaned, or do you think I'm just bored?" Jiang Wangzhou asked directly upon meeting them.
Fang Ruotang replied matter-of-factly, “Other matters aside, this Breath Soil is an important material that we must retrieve. If they fail this time, we will still have to go back. It would be better if you led the team there, giving the disciples more opportunities to gain experience.”
"I'm truly impressed by you!"
Jiang Wangzhou grumbled under his breath, but in his heart he agreed with Fang Ruotang's words.
Shishi and her group of people were just standing there.
He asked with a stern face, "What, aren't you leaving yet? Or should you go back and get some sleep before you set off?"
As soon as Jiang Wangzhou finished speaking, the people who were going out surged forward like fish biting the bait in a pond, and in the blink of an eye they were all on the spirit boat.
Fang Ruotang was stunned by this level of execution, then couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Wangzhou boarded the spirit boat, and the group set off in a radiant manner.
Fang Ruotang lingered in the mission hall for a while, watching other disciples discuss taking on missions. She glanced around and figured the outcome would most likely be the same as Shishi's group.
She might not even be as good as Shishi.
Shishi acts cautiously and avoids rash actions.
Other disciples leading the teams may also suffer casualties.
Fang Ruotang thought for a moment and then went to find Lu Jiangting by herself, without letting the group of people follow her. They had all just returned, so it was best for them to go back to their own rooms to rest!
Lu Jiangting sat in the courtyard, playing chess with Qin Hongyan, each holding a piece of the same color.
There was a barrier in the courtyard. When Fang Ruotang came in, she hesitated for a moment. She paused for a moment, then walked to the tree as if nothing had happened.
Lu Jiangting held the white pieces and looked at Fang Ruotang with a surprised expression.
"you……"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jiangting looked at the broken barrier, and he didn't understand.
But considering his current relationship with Fang Ruotang, it wasn't appropriate to ask these questions, so he suppressed his doubts and shook his head.
"Sect Leader, is there something you need from me?"
"I've come to check if you're done yet."
"Thank you very much for the miraculous medicine sent by the sect leader. I am almost fully recovered," Lu Jiangting replied politely.
"That's good. I have a task for you guys to do!" Fang Ruotang immediately brought up the matter of reshaping bodies and finding rare and precious materials.
He emphasized, "Although the rewards for the mission are high, the disciples of the sect are not very capable. Even if they go in a team, they will most likely return empty-handed."
Those rare and precious materials are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators at the Golden Core stage; even if there are several Golden Core cultivators in a team, it's useless.
Moreover, most of the original disciples of Tianyi Sect were at the Qi Refining stage, with a few at the Foundation Establishment stage, and only a few of her disciples had reached the Golden Core stage.
"Huh? Me?"
Lu Jiangting lost his composure, pointing at himself in disbelief.
At this moment, he wished he could turn back time and kill the version of himself that had just claimed to have recovered.
"Yes! We want each of you elders to lead a team, which will ensure the safety of our disciples during their travels to the greatest extent possible."
“Disciples going out on missions is a form of training. If we interfere, when will they ever grow?”
"But growth doesn't necessarily have to come at the cost of your life, right? You can just stand by and watch, and then step in to help when there's danger to your life! That won't do any harm, will it?"
Lu Jiangting choked.
Whose time isn't precious? If you have this time, wouldn't you know to go into seclusion and cultivate yourself?
He finally understood.
I've been asking around in the sect these past few days why they say their sect treats people like human beings.
They treated it more than just as a human being; they were practically being treated like a baby.
"Sect Master, is this really necessary..."
Before Lu Jiangting could finish refusing, Qin Hongyan coughed lightly to interrupt, "Jiangting, you can go!"
"Senior brother..."
"Um?"
"All right!"
Fang Ruotang looked the two of them up and down with her big eyes, feeling that something was off. She couldn't help but find a small mirror.
