CHAPTER 57: 57. NEW TASK RELEASED [PLEASE BOOKMARK]

Kao Shan Sect Main Hall.

Bang!

The wooden chair shattered with a sound, and Hua Liao knelt beside it, his face as pale as snow.

"Is this how you handled the matter for me? Not only did you fail to win the favor of the Profound Realm, but you also ended up with an elder being thrown out into the street. Do you know where I can put my old face now?"

Hua Liao trembled all over, his head almost knocked to the ground, "Sect Leader, calm down, I really didn’t know Elder Rong’s medical skills were so poor, nor did I expect the Guardian of the Immortal Sect to be so strong. I barely escaped with my life after tangling with him."

"So, what you’re saying is that when you couldn’t win, you ran away?" The face under the hood was so serious that it froze the air in the main hall.

Cold might make someone feel piercing.

But the chill emanating from the person in front of him made Hua Liao feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Hua Liao quickly explained, "I am not the type to fear death easily, I just didn’t expect that Wen Ping actually knew medicine, and quite well. Elder Rong’s pretense got exposed, so I was too ashamed to stay in the Yang Family."

Hmm!

A chilled snort echoed in the hall.

The sudden silence made Hua Liao dare not lift his head, and a long while later, a voice beside his ear said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Profound Realm individual and that Body Refining Thirteenth Layer cultivator from the Immortal Sect. Report to me immediately if there are any movements. Yang Hua’s death is certainly connected to the Immortal Sect."

Only then did Hua Liao let out a breath of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden was lifted from him, "I shall get to it right away!"

...

Lying in a pile of fallen leaves, watching the sun slowly rise at the horizon, Wen Ping’s heart felt unprecedentedly at ease.

Body Refining Eleventh Layer, a peak he once dared not even dream of reaching, and yet here he was so swiftly.

Just then, a voice echoed beside his ear.

"Mission Issued!"

"The perks are here."

Wen Ping was delighted and immediately became alert, suddenly sitting up from the pile of leaves.

[Rough Jade as well as Fine Jade - as a Super Sect, not only can it enhance a genius’s abilities, but it can also transform a waste into an unparalleled prodigy.]

[Recruit: One waste-type (severed meridian) disciple not exceeding the age of 18 - for this recruitment, the entry fees for the disciple can be reduced at discretion, specific charge amount is left to the host’s judgment.]

[Rewards: Free remodeling privilege for any building, granting it special abilities, and an Enlightenment opportunity.]

"These rewards, wow!"

The free remodeling privilege is invaluable, and the Enlightenment opportunity is even more precious. The last Enlightenment pushed him right into mastering the Flood Dragon’s Fury.

If there were another Enlightenment, wouldn’t he directly reach Minor Success? Although, of course, he was just dreaming; how could Vein Technique be so easily cultivated to Minor Success Realm?

Compared to the rewards, Wen Ping was now also quite interested in the recruitment criteria, requiring severed meridians!

This demand is indeed exacting.

Nowadays, anyone can cultivate; even if they don’t get far, reaching Body Refining First or Second Layer is possible. Finding someone who can’t cultivate at all is difficult, not to mention someone with severed meridians.

In such circumstances, only someone whose meridians were destroyed postnatally could be found.

In a place as large as Cangwu City, finding someone whose meridians were destroyed shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

This question was one he asked himself, essentially a rhetorical question.

The answer is that it’s very difficult.

After mulling over it for a while, Wen Ping asked, "System, is the main hall’s attraction ability useful?"

"Of course it’s useful, but its current range is too narrow. To find someone with severed meridians under 18 years old quickly, the host should go search personally. By the way, host, the mission duration is 5 days. If it can’t be completed in five days, one building’s special ability will be revoked."

"There’s a time limit, but you didn’t specify it in the issued mission!"

"I’ll add it now!"

[Rough Jade as well as Fine Jade - as a Super Sect, not only can it enhance a genius’s abilities, but it can also transform a waste into an unparalleled prodigy.]

[Recruit: One waste-type (severed meridian) disciple not exceeding the age of 18 - for this recruitment, the entry fees for the disciple can be reduced at discretion, specific charge amount is left to the host’s judgment. Duration: Five days.]

[Rewards: Free remodeling privilege for any building, granting it special abilities, and an Enlightenment opportunity. Penalty for failure: Revocation of one building’s special ability.]

Looking at the reappeared mission interface before him, Wen Ping felt like he had just eaten bitter herbs.

If you don’t know what eating bitter herbs tastes like, try chewing raw licorice, and you’ll get it.

"Host, please get on your way soon."

After saying this, the system "disappeared," leaving Wen Ping alone to be messed with by the wind on the peak of Churao Mountain.

The rewards are generous, but the penalties are just as harsh.

By the time he returned to Yunlan Mountain, the day was already fully bright. His clothes had been ripped by "himself" the night before, so Wen Ping could only walk through the forest path shirtless. After returning to Tingyu Pavilion and changing into new clothes, he looked in the mirror, his face was dotted with too many bruises.

But fortunately, he was still quite handsome.

The heroic spirit within his sword-like brows remained compelling!

After reaching the dorm area, he pushed open the door to Yu Mo’s room and saw Yu Mo on the balcony practicing his morning cultivation.

He knew Yu Mo must have discovered the thing passed to him by the dorm area, but it didn’t matter. Wen Ping had long anticipated this kind of issue. Luring Yu Mo into the Immortal Sect was only a matter of time.

"Senior Yu, I left the cigar on the table for you. Please light it up and smoke it in the afternoon. If you forget and get poisoned to death, it has nothing to do with me."

After putting down the cigar, Wen Ping turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Yu Mo couldn’t help but smile wryly; it was his first time meeting a Body Refining Eleventh Layer cultivator who didn’t care much for him.

Just a week ago, having a meal in Flower Moon City meant over a hundred people lining up to pay his bill, among them three Body Refining Thirteenth Layer cultivators. But now, he was directly ignored by a Body Refining Eleventh Layer.

Yu Mo stood up and quickly called out, "Young brother, please wait a moment!"

"Is there something you need?"

"Do you not have even a bit of respect seeing me? I am, after all, a Profound Realm cultivator, and although my current power is only Body Refining Thirteenth Layer, given time, I will return to my peak."

"So what?"

With that, Wen Ping already had one hand holding the door handle.

Yu Mo could only laugh bitterly and helplessly, encountering someone who didn’t care about his identity was indeed challenging.

"Young brother, don’t be in such a rush to leave, I still have something to ask you."

"Speak quickly, I have other matters to attend to."

"I..." Yu Mo quickly took a breath, trying not to get mad at Wen Ping. If he truly cared about Wen Ping’s attitude, he estimated he would get angry eight times a day, "Is this place natural?"

"Do you mean this ’all-pervasive’ Vein Technique?"

"Yes, that’s it."

"Not natural..."

"Then what?"

Just as he was about to inquire further, Wen Ping’s later words leapt out, completing the sentence, "Not natural, it is natural, and what does it have to do with you. Senior Yu, take good care of your injuries, knowing too much isn’t a good thing."

With that, Wen Ping closed the door and left.

Once out of the dorm area, Wen Ping couldn’t help but give himself a thumbs up, "Neither servile nor overbearing, the essence of manhood!"

Let’s go, time to descend the mountain and find that waste!
