After seeing off Zhu Yi and his daughter, Shi Xuan thought that the Shen brothers who were with him would also come to say goodbye, but instead they came with the news that they wanted to return to Lianfeng Sword Sect with her.
Shi Xuan looked puzzled: "You've already been cured, why don't you go back to the sect?"
Feng Xiujie is already perfectly healthy and lively, so why is he pretending to be a yandere?
Feng Xiujie lowered his head and remained silent, while Shen Wuyang smiled and pretended to be mysterious, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shi Xuan, you may not know this, but my brother and I finally managed to get a leave of absence, saying we wanted to take Senior Brother Feng out to seek medical treatment. It would be impolite to go back too early."
Shi Xuan: ...I've never heard of anything about being solemn or not when returning to the sect.
“Besides,” Shen Wuyang added, “we just wanted to have some more time to play outside before going back, didn’t we?”
Shi Xuan: "Friend, how about checking out Cloud City? I heard it's very lively and has lots of delicious food..."
"That's right!" Shen Wuyang slapped his thigh. "How come I didn't think of that? We've been in the territory of the Lianfeng Sword Sect long enough already. We can take this opportunity to travel around! Besides Cloud City, there are a few other nice cities in the west. We can go there together this time..."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately agreed, happily bid farewell to Shi Xuan, and excitedly headed towards Cloud City.
Shi Xuan was finally free of trouble and returned to the Lianfeng Sword Sect with the sect's spirit boat.
Now that the six-sect competition that was originally scheduled has been postponed for an unknown period of time, Shi Xuan decided to do a sect mission first.
Sect missions are scored out of points, with the score varying depending on the difficulty level.
Each disciple must complete a certain number of points each month. In the past, Shi Xuan would use pills to accumulate enough points and had never left the sect to participate in a sect mission.
At the mission acceptance area of the council hall, disciples gathered in twos and threes, looking at the mission boards hanging on the wall and discussing which ones to accept. Some missions could not be completed alone, so some would go out together to do them.
Upon seeing Shi Xuan enter, the disciples' excitement immediately soared. After all, Shi Xuan, this year's new disciple, was now a prominent figure in the Lianfeng Sword Sect.
"Senior Sister Shi Xuan, would you like to team up with us for a mission? We're about to take on this monster-slaying mission."
"Killing demonic beasts isn't suitable for Senior Sister Shi Xuan. Let's do the alchemy Q&A mission together!"
"Having a patrol duty in the market is great, it's easy too. The market outside our sect is peaceful every day."
"It hasn't always been peaceful, has it? Didn't Zhang Dahu and Huichuntang have a huge fight a while ago?"
...
When this matter was mentioned, those in the know immediately looked at Shi Xuan. Zhang Dahu's troubles ultimately stemmed from Shi Xuan; he went to Shi Xuan's shop to cause trouble but was dealt with by him.
Recalling this incident, their gazes towards Shi Xuan were filled with even more admiration.
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I'm just checking if there's anything suitable, so I won't bother you."
The tasks hanging on the wall are arranged from low to high level. Level 1 tasks are mostly things like gathering herbs and collecting items. Higher-level tasks include planting, killing monsters, and refining pills and weapons. At higher levels, there are missions to go out and about. For example, among the level 5 tasks, there are those to assist in handling strange cases in affiliated cities.
Meanwhile, the task wall had added tasks related to the [Newcomer] organization, with the task of finding the Soul-Separating Array prominently displayed at level eight, offering a high score. Shi Xuan felt she needed to argue with the sect leader about whether the points for the two tasks she had previously discovered should be refunded...
She had a purpose in taking on this mission, since she happened to have some free time and wanted to explore the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Previously, I obtained Wang Laosan's bronze token from the black market for rogue cultivators. By communicating with divine sense, I can see the map of the secret realm. Please allow a Foundation Establishment cultivator to proceed.
Most of the secret realms were extremely dangerous. Wang Laosan had always felt that his strength was sufficient, and he was somewhat afraid. He wanted to go, but he was also afraid that he would suffer a setback in the secret realm. He thought that he could advance a few minor levels in the Foundation Establishment stage before going to explore. However, he acted rashly and used the entry token as a gamble.
Actually, the moment he sent the Azure Dragon Token away, he felt a sense of relief. Now that he had lost the token, he no longer had to worry about whether to go or not.
Shi Xuan looked at the map. It was located at the westernmost edge of Qian Yuan's western border. The place was easy to find, but no one could say for sure how dangerous it was.
Since she was going out anyway, she thought she might as well do a sect mission as a kind of experience.
Shi Xuan looked at the task wall, searching for the west side... the west side...
Finally, at the location of the level six mission, Shi Xuan discovered a mission that required him to go west: Qingshui City would experience a small beast tide attack at the end of September every year, and all major sects needed to send people to provide support. The mission required that the team had at least one Golden Core cultivator.
Shi Xuan thought to himself, "Even Level 6 missions discriminate against Foundation Establishment cultivators."
But it wasn't too difficult, since he still had senior brothers. His second and fourth senior brothers were both Golden Core cultivators, so he could just call on any of them to join him, since they also had sect missions to complete anyway.
When they returned and asked, they found that both senior brothers were quite free. Upon hearing that their junior sister was going to the west to do such a dangerous mission, they were very worried and insisted on going with her to form a three-person team for the sect.
"Where is Third Senior Sister?" It seems that these people from Fuyu Peak are idle all year round, with nothing to do, except for Tang Nong. Shi Xuan asked, "Could it be that she went out to sell her spiritual food again? If she goes out a few more times, she'll probably be wanted by the entire market of Qian Yuan Western Region."
The wanted poster reads: "There is a woman named Tang Nong whose spiritual food is unpalatable and poisonous!"
Lu Wenxing laughed and said, "Junior Sister is wrong this time. Our third brother, I don't know if he was stimulated by Junior Sister's rapid advancement, but he actually went into seclusion to cultivate. It's really strange."
Speaking of my junior sister's speed, she has advanced two minor ranks in just a few days, which is truly amazing.
Shi Xuan was surprised that her usually idle third senior sister was actually in seclusion to cultivate, but it was still gratifying: "In that case, let's go together as a group of three. I just happen to be going to explore a secret realm in the west, so I'll go along with her."
"What kind of secret realm?" Lu Wenxing asked. "Can you just enter anytime?"
“A token is required,” Shi Xuan said, showing the two people the bronze token he held in his hand.
Upon seeing the design of the token, He Weiqing said in a low voice, "I... I've heard that some people went there and came back saying that it wasn't a wealthy secret realm."
Shi Xuan smiled nonchalantly, "Whether it's rich or poor, we'll find out first. Let's go say goodbye to our master and leave tomorrow."
“No need,” Lu Wenxing said. “Master is not in the sect. He went out as soon as he returned, saying he was looking for something.”
Shi Xuan immediately realized what it was all about; he must have gone to find the Soul Gathering Stone. As for his eldest brother, it's hard to say whether he's lucky or unlucky. If he's lucky, he even managed to save the living dead; if he's unlucky, he has such a wonderful master and junior sister…
