Since they've already named the person, if they weren't acquainted with the person who issued the task, then this clansman must be particularly skilled at this task and have a certain reputation within the sect to have been chosen.
Li Sisui, a newcomer who has only joined the Lieyun Sect a few months ago, can obviously only be the former, no wonder everyone's eyes are complicated.
Everyone originally thought that Li Sisui had acquaintances in the inner sect. As the saying goes, it's good to have a powerful backer. With the help of acquaintances, the minimum number of missions for the Lieyun Sect would naturally be a piece of cake.
Of course, those who are named also have the right to refuse, and will not be punished in any way.
If someone has a grudge against a certain person in the inner court and issues a suicide mission by name, wouldn't that be a legitimate way to settle personal scores? Such a rule is reasonable.
As Li Sisui looked at the mission details, the image of Su Qingyu immediately flashed through his mind. Could it be that she had emerged from seclusion?
Li Sisui stood motionless in front of the task board for a long time. The white-bearded old man who had previously processed Li Sisui's entry procedures looked at Li Sisui and said:
"If you accept the task, take down the wooden sign; if you don't accept it, turn the sign around. You can choose not to accept the assigned task."
Li Sisui didn't read the details of the mission, but he remembered that it was roughly about finding a flowering and fruiting herb fifty miles away from the sect.
This was quite similar to Li Sisui's first mission down the mountain, except that Li Sisui's heart was surging at this moment, and all his thoughts were on Su Qingyu.
I wonder if she broke through her cultivation bottleneck after she came out of seclusion?
Within the inner palace, Li Sisui only recognized her?
It seems she did this because she knew her current situation!
Everyone was waiting for Li Sisui to make a decision, but Li Sisui stood there for a long time.
Only when the surrounding disciples became somewhat impatient did Li Sisui walk to the task board, take off the task plaque, and say, "I accept!"
Everyone had an expression of taking it for granted; it would be unexpected if they didn't accept such a simple task.
Li Sisui tucked the wooden plaque into his clothes, ignoring the ardent, envious stares of the onlookers, and left the giant wooden house expressionlessly.
Cloud Piercers usually choose their tasks in advance; they don't accept a task one day and have to rush to complete it the next.
A certain amount of time will be allocated to allow the Cloud Piercers to make sufficient preparations for the missions they will carry out.
After all, anything can happen after you come down the mountain. If you want to come back alive, you have to do your best to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Li Sisui carefully took out the wooden plaque from a secluded wooden hut and examined it closely.
The task is to go to a location about fifty miles northwest of the Nine Dragons Sect and pick a flowering Wei Gui Grass!
Euryale ferox is a relatively common herb, mainly used for stopping bleeding. However, the mature flowers of Euryale ferox also have the effect of acting as a medicinal guide.
Currently, the Tu people have few records of herbs that can be used as medicinal ingredients, among which the most readily available is the flower of *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*.
Li Sisui reviewed the mission requirements again using the map, and finally felt a little more confident.
The mission location is relatively close to the sect, and there is a Tu tribe stronghold ten kilometers away, so it should be a relatively safe area.
With some time remaining before the six-month grace period, Li Sisui decided to focus on refining the weapon during this time.
The weapon Li Sisui ultimately chose was modeled after Shun's weapon from the anime "Saint Seiya," which he had watched in the past.
Nebula Chains.
Of course, Li Sisui's weapon didn't include the Nebula, so all that was left was the chain.
It can be used for both offense and defense, and in today's world it is as versatile as a whip. Although it is a melee weapon, it also has some ranged attack capabilities.
Li Sisui's weapon consists of two parts: a chain and a lock.
Needless to say, Li Sisui has only managed to condense five or six halos so far, and there is still a long way to go before the chains are fully formed.
Li Sisui planned to turn the lock into a longsword, so that it could be used for both close combat and ranged attacks.
Because the weapon is formed from the inside out, it can be instantly unleashed once it is fully formed, so there is no problem with carrying or hiding it.
Tomorrow I should set off down the mountain. It's my first time going down the mountain alone, and it's impossible not to be afraid. I'm a little apprehensive, but at least I'm a cultivator now. If I can't win, I can always run away, right?
The next morning, Li Sisui got up early, packed all the dry food and important personal items he had brought for the road, and arrived at the giant wooden house.
The white-bearded old man was waiting for Li Sisui in the wooden house. Li Sisui handed back the two stacks of leaves he had given him earlier, and then nodded slightly and said:
"Farewell, everyone. I must take my leave now!"
After saying this, Li Sisui turned and strode out of the wooden house, quite carefree. The white-bearded old man and everyone in the house watched Li Sisui leave in silence.
Li Sisui arrived at the edge of the cliff, turned around and looked at the vast and winding mountains behind him. Most of the mountains were hidden in the clouds and mist, and he could not see their full appearance. He felt a sense of parting.
Composing himself, he tightly fastened the package to his body, his hands and feet were shrouded in a light veil, and a gleaming chain about two meters long appeared in his right hand without him noticing. With a long howl, he leaped off the cliff.
The chains seemed to possess a spirit, binding one large tree after another that grew on the cliff face. Li Sisui, like a swing, slowly descended to the foot of the mountain. His free soul, which had been bound for too long, was finally released, bringing him indescribable joy.
The experience of being led down the mountain by someone else is vastly different from going down it on your own. Being led down the mountain by someone else feels like riding an amusement park ride, making your heart race with fear.
As he leaped into the air, he felt as if he were a galloping horse on the grassland, and only Li Sisui could understand that exhilarating feeling.
