Mission Hall
Kill her enemies with her own hands? Ruan Qingyu was stunned, then a fierce hatred ignited in her eyes. Hatred for Zhang Zitao, Ruan Tianci, and even Chen Tian quickly swept through her mind, making it difficult for her to control herself.
The voice continued, "If you try to do it yourself now, not only will you be in danger, but it will be extremely difficult to even hurt them. Why not leave it to me? I can make sure they die a horrible death in no time."
"To die without a complete corpse? Yes, I want them to die without a complete corpse!" Ruan Qingyu's eyes were bloodshot, and she clutched her head with both hands.
But in her mind, consumed by hatred, she felt it shouldn't be this way. She should indeed seek revenge, but not now.
She should have waited a little longer; she clearly remembered making a promise with someone. This deadly revenge should be taken personally, and she had already clearly resolved part of it.
Ruan Qingyu murmured to herself, shaking her head repeatedly, even slapping herself. What was it that she was searching for—forgotten memories?
She deserves revenge! She must get revenge! Revenge!
No, not now. We can't take revenge now. There will be a way, there will be.
Ruan Qingyu slumped into the cage, while Chen Tian, who had already prepared everything outside, walked towards the cage. His palm glowed with a blackish-red light, a gesture he made before drawing blood, a procedure Ruan Qingyu had long since memorized.
Accompanied by a foul smell of blood, Ruan Qingyu felt a burning sensation on her face as a hand suddenly appeared where Chen Tian's heart was.
Following the hand down her line of sight, Ruan Qingyu realized that she had killed Chen Tian with her own hands. She saw Chen Tian looking at her in disbelief.
The next moment, it turned to ashes.
"How about it? Do you like this power? With me, you'll have boundless power." The voice continued to bewitch her, as if as long as Ruan Qingyu nodded, she could leave this hellish place and complete her mission of revenge.
Ruan Qingyu shook her head; the blood on her hands had disappeared long ago, along with Chen Tian. Everything that had just happened was merely her imagination. Revenge was her goal, but not now.
"You're the demon in my heart. Even if I, Ruan Qingyu, want revenge, I will do it step by step on my own. I will kill those enemies one by one with my own hands, but not with the help of others!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the cage vanished. The blood-red, hellish scenes also disappeared, and even the emptiness and pain within her body vanished.
The scene returned to her sea of consciousness; everything that had just happened was the work of her inner demons. Just before she was about to successfully establish her foundation, they had created a beautiful dream for her, a dream of personally avenging her enemies.
The inner demon seemed unwilling to accept defeat, roaring, "I will not disappear completely; there will be a day when you need me!"
Ruan Qingyu closed her eyes, letting her consciousness sink into her dantian. She allowed the spiritual energy to cleanse her, taking away the remaining discomfort. What remained were the much wider meridians after breaking through the Foundation Establishment bottleneck, and her dantian, which had expanded to twice its original size.
Compared to his previous life where he had accumulated over many years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, the difference this time was obvious. Whether it was the storage of spiritual energy or its flow within his body, there was no stagnation whatsoever.
After a pause, Ruan Qingyu clasped her hands together and then quickly unfolded them. In an instant, she summoned the Phoenix Divine Fire, which was much brighter than before.
Moreover, if it is used continuously, it can last for a longer period of time. Ruan Qingyu couldn't help but show a look of joy as she looked at Yun Yin, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Yunyin, I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage!" Ruan Qingyu quickly stepped forward and picked up Yunyin, who was still lying on the ground. She buried her face in the softest part of the little black leopard's neck and rubbed against it repeatedly.
Yun Yin was shocked. How could this woman be so unreserved! His claws thrashed about, trying to break free. But hearing Ruan Qingyu's seemingly choked voice, he involuntarily softened.
"Congratulations! You've reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Your revenge is just around the corner!" Yun Yin's deep voice echoed within their contracted consciousness.
This instantly pulled Ruan Qingyu back from her reverie, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat Yun Yin's head.
"Thank you for protecting me." I hadn't noticed it when I came out, but now when I look outside the courtyard, I can clearly sense a lightning aura that doesn't belong to the fire element.
Aside from the Thunder Leopard in her arms, she really couldn't find another person who could exude such an aura. Thinking of this, Ruan Qingyu subconsciously touched Yun Yin's head again, and he immediately bit her wrist and gritted his teeth repeatedly.
On the second day after Ruan Qingyu established her foundation, she received two messages from her disciple token. One message congratulated her on successfully establishing her foundation and that she could receive foundation disciple resources, resulting in improved disciple benefits.
The second thing is the sect missions. Every sect disciple has fixed sect missions. Now that Ruan Qingyu has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the sect missions, which should have been simpler, have immediately been upgraded to level three missions with a higher difficulty.
However, considering that Ruan Qingyu was about to break through, the deadline was extended to four months. As long as the task was completed before the deadline and the sect's internal verification was completed, she could continue to cultivate peacefully within the sect.
Furthermore, the sect mentioned the possibility of changing cultivation courtyards. However, Ruan Qingyu completely ignored this, as going to the highly competitive inner mountain would make it difficult to conceal her secrets.
It's better to stay here in the disciples' quarters and exchange for it at the affairs hall later if needed.
Now that they had entered the Foundation Establishment stage, collecting resources was the most important thing. Ruan Qingyu, leading Yun Yin who was still unaware that they were going to be moved, headed towards the hill where the Affairs Hall was located.
The office building is a three-story structure that looks quite ordinary from afar and up close. But once you step inside, you discover that it is surprisingly spacious, far exceeding what you see from the outside.
It was clearly through spatial expansion using spatial talismans. This allowed them to accommodate so many disciples and handle so many tasks.
This first floor is where sect affairs are handled, including the disciple resources that Ruan Qingyu queues up to receive, which are obtained here using her disciple token.
Originally worried that she would be harassed when she received the resources, the disciple on duty took the token, wiped it on the jade, and then tossed it to Ruan Qingyu.
Seeing the disciple on duty anxiously calling out to the other disciples, Ruan Qingyu chuckled and then stepped forward to walk towards the second floor.
Yunyin asked curiously in his mind, "Why are you still a little surprised? Were you harassed by these people in your past life?"
Unexpectedly, the other party guessed it right away. Ruan Qingyu did not hide anything and immediately nodded and said, "In my previous life, when I was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, I was finally able to collect the resources myself, but I was harassed by the disciple on duty and only managed to get half of the resources in the end."
Immediately, Yun Yin roared in his mind, and after a moment he said, "Those brainless people are just taking advantage of your weakness. Now that you are at the Foundation Establishment stage, I think that disciple on duty is only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, so naturally he wouldn't dare to touch your things. I think you should find that person from last time and burn them together."
Unexpectedly, Yunyin's reaction was even stronger than his own. His initial regret vanished instantly, and he reassured her, "It's nothing. Resources are something that the capable should have."
The second floor is the trading hall, mostly frequented by Xuan Tian Sect disciples who are unable to trade outside the sect or do not trust the trading markets outside the sect. Therefore, they mostly trade within the sect. If they find a suitable opportunity, they can also choose to use sect contribution points to complete the transaction.
As soon as she reached the second floor, Ruan Qingyu was drawn to the disciples gathered in twos and threes, but then she remembered that she was currently short of money.
He stopped thinking about it and headed to the third floor. The third floor was the mission hall, where sects posted missions, and sect disciples who didn't have time could send out missions to do on their behalf.
There are also bounty missions, which, once completed, are traded for sect contribution points. These contribution points can then be exchanged for spirit stones within the sect, although only a minority of sect disciples actually do this.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qingyu simply probed the token given to her by the sect with her divine sense. She suddenly discovered that the resources for Foundation Establishment disciples seemed to be more than before?
What's going on? Ruan Qingyu carefully examined the Spirit Transformation Pills needed for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators; there were five pills in one bottle. These might be able to be traded later, but with her top-grade single-fire spiritual root, she didn't need these impure yellow-grade pills for the time being.
Looking further, there were thirty low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of low-level healing and hemostatic pills. These hemostatic pills should be able to be sold for some contribution points.
As for the extra ten mid-grade spirit stones, Ruan Qingyu then remembered that they should be the reward allocated by the Xuantian Sect for new disciples who broke through to a major stage in a short period of time.
Seeing this, Ruan Qingyu shook her head. She hadn't lacked these resources before, but it was clear she wasn't a genius, which was why she hadn't had the opportunity to obtain them.
Standing inside the mission hall, Ruan Qingyu looked around. Most of the people there were disciples with serious expressions, but their numbers were small. This was likely because these missions, aside from those with meager rewards, were quite difficult and time-consuming to complete.
Ruan Qingyu chose a less crowded task board to look at, and saw that every now and then a new task posting would appear after a flash of light.
Any disciple who needs it can simply tap their disciple token on the task notice to accept the task.
However, the frequency of flashes of inspiration is far less than the speed at which they are dispelled.
Within his consciousness, Yunyin asked curiously, "Are these tasks difficult?" As he spoke, he scanned the area with his divine sense. "They're just tasks to kill demonic beasts or retrieve items from dangerous places. Why are you making excuses?"
Seeing his curiosity, Ruan Qingyu replied, "That's not the case. If there are enough contribution points or the rewards are high, naturally many disciples will accept the offer. But look at the contribution points and rewards at the bottom; they're really a rip-off."
As they were talking, Ruan Qingyu spotted a sect mission notice that seemed quite suitable. She took out her token to accept it, but before she could even touch it, someone beside her intercepted it.
The other party was a fraction of a second faster than Ruan Qingyu, so the post disappeared from the task bar with a flash of light.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Qingyu subconsciously glanced at the person. She only saw that he was dressed in red and seemed to have a strange fragrance about him.
The other party did not see Ruan Qingyu at all, and walked outside after accepting the task.
Yunyin: "This person is not human."
Blinking, Ruan Qingyu said with a hint of helplessness, "It's just that they're a bit faster than me, it's not like I have to do this task."
Realizing she had misunderstood, Yunyin explained, "I mean, this person is not a human cultivator, but a demon cultivator who has transformed from a spirit beast."
Instantly, Ruan Qingyu was somewhat surprised. The Xuantian Sect rarely recruited demon cultivators, and even seemed to subtly reject them. In her previous life, she had never heard of any demon cultivators entering the Xuantian Sect.
He was somewhat surprised to hear Yunyin say it.
