Even if he were beaten to death, Song Yan would never have imagined it.

The day he was promoted to an inner Disciple would end with him being dead drunk.

He wasn’t allowed to use spiritual power to dispel the alcohol, and as a weak drinker who barely touched alcohol, he passed out after just a few sips.

The next day, Song Yan woke up on the counter of the desk.

Qin Xijun was still sound asleep in a chair, and the wine jars had rolled to the floor.

"Ugh..."

He urged his spiritual power to dispel the headache of the hangover, and his mind gradually cleared.

Looking at his master, who was sleeping in a very undignified posture, Song Yan smiled.

He casually covered her with a small blanket and then left the place.

He returned to Green Leaf Peak.

Before he could enter his Immortal Cave, he saw a sound transmission Talisman.

It was from the Disciple who was on duty yesterday.

He lightly tapped it with his fingertip.

"Junior Brother Song, the matter of the Immortal Cave has been arranged."

"Within one month, you can come to Zuowang Peak at any time to hand over the Immortal Cave affairs."

He pondered for a moment, first using spiritual power to dispel the smell of alcohol, then sniffing himself to check, and only then did he step into the Immortal Cave.

"Xiao He! Get ready to move!"

Although the General Affairs Hall had given him ample time, now that he had been promoted to an inner Disciple, there was nothing urgent.

He planned to move to Wipe Sword Peak today.

Xiao He poked her head out from the pile of toys, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Move?"

"Yes, don’t dawdle, quickly pack up your toys, we’re moving to a bigger Immortal Cave!"

"Okay!"

Looking at the extremely familiar Immortal Cave before him, he couldn’t help but sigh, time flies so fast.

In a blink of an eye, it had been four or five years since he joined the Sect.

He had also lived here for so long.

He gently patted the stone table: "I wonder which Junior Brother will move in here in the future."

However, Song Yan was not someone who couldn’t move on from memories; he simply packed up his personal belongings.

Then, he put Xiao He’s toys into a separate qiankun bag, and the two of them, one person and one snake, left Immortal Cave Xuan-39.

He first went to Zuowang Peak to hand over the Immortal Cave affairs.

Only then did he follow the map Jade Slip to find his "new home."

Wipe Sword Peak.

There were many Cultivators coming and going here, but most of them were hurrying along, and not many greeted each other.

"Wipe Sword Peak, Earth-21."

He passed through the mountain path and, following the markings on the map, found his new Immortal Cave.

"Hoh..."

Bamboo shadows swayed, a dreamlike courtyard.

As spiritual power was urged, the Restriction in his hand resonated.

The bamboo branches in front of the fence separated in response.

Stepping inside, a courtyard paved with bluestone appeared before Song Yan.

Ink bamboo trees were scattered all around, making it even more serene and elegant than the bamboo courtyard in Linghua Valley.

"Wow..."

Even Xiao He was deeply attracted by the scenery and the sense of freedom here.

He briefly composed himself and arrived at the entrance of the actual Immortal Cave.

A flash of spiritual light, and the stone door opened wide.

The scene inside the Immortal Cave came into view.

Daylight poured down from the skylight, illuminating the entire Immortal Cave with a faint golden glow.

In the center was a warm pool, slightly larger than the one on Green Leaf Peak.

Unidentifiable fluorescent stones floated at the bottom of the pool, making it even more beautiful.

Wooden windows were embedded in the walls by the pool, and pushing them open, the scenery of Dongyuan Immortal Sect came into view.

"So nice, so nice!"

Xiao He plunged into the warm pool with a splash, then shot up onto the windowsill.

"This place is really great!"

Song Yan naturally felt the same way.

However, business came first.

He neatly arranged some miscellaneous items in the new Immortal Cave and even set aside a small room specifically for Xiao He to mess around in.

The biggest difference between the new Immortal Cave and the outer Sect Immortal Cave was the abundance of empty rooms.

Previously, on Green Leaf Peak, all Qi Refining Breakthroughs took place on the Immortal Cave’s stone bed.

Here, however, there were dedicated cultivation rooms, and even Alchemy and Artifact Refining Rooms... After tidying everything up, Song Yan finally took out a special Jade Slip from his qiankun bag.

He had picked this up at the Mission Hall when he passed by Taiping Peak just now.

It contained a lot of information regarding Changping.

Song Yan was a practical person.

Once he decided on something, he wouldn’t just talk about it.

At the latest, in three months, he would head to Changping.

Understanding the specific situation beforehand now would allow him to make early plans and preparations.

In fact, the content of this Jade Slip didn’t contain much more information than what Senior Brother Lin Qing had told him.

"Zhao Mansion in Chen Prefecture, Changping."

Initially, it was just a Spirit Talisman Sect Cultivator who went missing for no reason while passing by Zhao Mansion, which prompted the Spirit Talisman Sect to investigate.

The Huadu Temple, a great Buddhist Sect in the nearby Danyang Prefecture, heard about this and voluntarily joined forces with the Spirit Talisman Sect to investigate.

This investigation uncovered a major issue.

Not only did they find traces of rogue evil Cultivators from the central region on the outskirts of Changping, but they also discovered a large number of demon Cultivator traces.

Changping, in Zhao Mansion, due to its special geographical location, was already a mixed bag of good and bad.

The arrogance of demon Cultivators would rise and fall, only to rise again.

It was also one of the three major gathering places for demon Cultivators, the location of the Corpse Bone Abyss.

Coupled with some Loose Cultivators who, by chance, learned a trick or two here and acquired some ghost banners and soul bells there.

This also formed a sort of "evil Cultivator" climate.

Except for Cave Abyss Sect and Sheyang Sect, who occasionally sent people to assist Huadu Temple, the other three Major Sects adopted an attitude of indifference, as if it had nothing to do with them.

However, this time, the great commotion caused by the demon Cultivators made all the Major Sects restless.

No one was a fool.

They naturally understood the principle of ’if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.’

The Six Major Sects all dispatched their Disciples to take turns guarding Changping.

It had been over three months so far, yet no one still knew what these demon Cultivators were secretly plotting here.

"Demon Cultivators, evil Cultivators, demon Cultivators from the Corpse Bone Abyss..."

"Mortal cities..."

"The Six Major Sects have gathered together outside of Dragon Pool Mountain ahead of time..."

"And most crucially..."

"Even though the Chu Kingdom’s Cultivation World has already caused such a huge commotion, that group of demon Cultivators in Changping still causes trouble from time to time."

"They show no fear, no intention of leaving."

The entire Changping is truly in a chaotic mess right now.

He continued to read through all the content, gaining a general understanding of what was called "special contribution."

So-called special contribution refers to the contribution points accumulated by various Disciples in a certain large-scale long-term mission.

Among some older Cultivators, this thing was also called "merit."

It was specifically used to exchange for items from an independent treasure vault.

This time, the Six Major Sects united and combined all the treasure vault rewards.

As long as one had merit, they could exchange for almost anything a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator desired.

It was just that the quantity might not be that abundant.

In the treasure vault list, he saw numerous rewards such as high-grade Cultivation Techniques, Talismans, Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Artifacts, and so on.

He probably had no hope for the most attractive reward, the high-grade Cultivation Technique.

It basically required full participation in the mission to accumulate enough merit for exchange.

Song Yan put away the Jade Slip and began to ponder in his mind what preparations he needed to make before heading to Changping.

This journey is fraught with danger... he needs to face it cautiously.
