Chapter 621 -635: The Place of Cultivation

“There’s a mission that requires the three of you to undertake, it’s risky, but the rewards are also substantial.”

Scarface spoke concisely, getting straight to the point.

“Congratulations on completing the mission, joining the Empire’s army, and successfully activating a follow-up mission, Commander’s wish. The mission is risky, please choose at your discretion.”

The emotionless voice of the assistant once again rang in Hu Bing’s mind, and at the same time, Ye Feng and Da Zhuang also received the notification. After a bit of thought, they knew for sure that it was Mu Can, who was called to the great tent, who had activated a new step in the mission.

“I’m in!” After pondering for a moment, Mu Can immediately nodded affirmatively.

His purpose in coming to the Glory World was simple: if there was a way to quickly enhance his strength, he did not care about the risks involved.

In fact, in Mu Can’s heart was another consideration: he simply did not believe that the Commander and General Chang Ming would send the three of them to their certain deaths. Therefore, the mission given to them must be within their capabilities.

“Good! The Vanguard Camp needs warriors like you.”

Seeing Mu Can agree, a hint of joy appeared on Scarface’s scarred face; he had indeed not misjudged him. Mu Can’s resolute and efficient style was precisely what the Vanguard Camp needed.

“We’ll talk about this in a month. During this month, the three of you just focus on training,” Scarface continued after thinking it over.

He was very satisfied with the trio, extremely satisfied. However, the mission was not a simple one. After searching for so long, only Mu Can and his two companions met the criteria.

After Mu Can turned to leave, Scarface lightly clapped his hands, and a figure slowly emerged in front of him, looking at him respectfully.

“Send a gift to General Chang Ming, I owe him a favor this time,” Scarface said to the figure that resembled his own shadow.

“Yes, master. Are these three people worth it for you?” the barely visible figure asked.

Shaking his head, Scarface walked over to the table and slowly poured himself a glass of wine, swirling it in his hand until the wine in the glass slowly turned pale red. Only then did he down it in one gulp.

The shadow knew that this red wine was specially designed to suppress the chill poison within Scarface’s body.

“You don’t understand. The mere fact that their strength forced me to use five layers of my power… do you think they are simple people?” Scarface turned to look at the shadow as his gaze slowly became resolute.

“Do you know? I’ve been in the Vanguard Camp for nearly ten years now. This is my best opportunity. This chill poison has troubled me for much too long.” With a strong grip, Scarface crushed the glass in his hand, clutched the shards tightly, the blood that seeped out was faintly blue.

Without a glance at the wound in his hand, he even clenched it harder, as the blue blood dripped slowly to the ground, coalescing into little blue ice flowers.

“Master, your wound!” The shadow trembled at the sight of the blue ice flowers on the ground, as if witnessing the most terrifying thing, filled with concern in their gaze towards Scarface.

Waving his hand, Scarface indifferently stated: “To have survived his hands is already remarkable. Haha… this chill poison has tormented me for a decade. These ten years, if it weren’t for the killing intent sustaining me in the camp, I probably would have turned into an ice sculpture by now.” 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The shadow stood speechless, gazing at the ice flowers on the ground. That person, that one whose name couldn’t even be mentioned, Scarface’s injuries, even the scars across his face, were all because of him.

“Go do your assignment!” Suddenly losing the mood for further chat, Scarface waved his hand, and the shadow disappeared before him, probably off to deliver a gift to General Chang Ming.

“Mu Can, if you can cure the chill poison in my body, then I’ll owe you a favor. When the time comes, as long as it’s not too excessive, I’m willing to deploy all my chess pieces to help you achieve it,” Scarface mused as he gazed at his hand which was gradually healing, no longer leaking blue blood, and spoke softly.

…

“How did it go?” Upon seeing Mu Can come out, Da Zhuang and Ye Feng quickly asked. They had both received prompts from their respective assistants and were now waiting for Mu Can’s decision.

Mu Can had now become the most definitive decision-maker among the three, his judgment could represent the decision of all of them.

“The Commander wants us three to train well for this month. We have a mission to do afterward, and I’ve agreed,” Mu Can reported concisely, summarizing his experience in the tent.

“What mission?” Ye Feng asked. Since Mu Can had decided to take on the mission, what came next was simple – they just needed to consider how to complete it.

Mu Can spread his hands and said, “The Commander didn’t say, but I feel it’s not that simple.”

If it were someone else, hearing their teammate agree to something without even discussing it when they knew nothing might have led to an argument.

But after hearing Mu Can’s words, Da Zhuang just nodded and promptly fell asleep; he certainly hadn’t shortchanged himself on wine today.

Ye Feng likewise waved his hand, unconcerned about anything else now. As long as Mu Can made the decisions, they just needed to exert the effort to follow; he had come to understand that, with Mu Can’s strength, plus his personal Alchemy Technique and his pet’s Array knowledge, even without the two of them, he could still make a name for himself in the army.

Mu Can himself wasn’t scared, so there was even less reason for them to be afraid.

That night, the Vanguard Camp partied all night long, with the scent of wine permeating the entire camp. On General Chang Ming’s table, an Ancient Sword with its scabbard rested, simple yet exuding an aura of integrity.

The next day, Scarface summoned the trio and led them to a partition behind his own tent.

“You will practice here in the coming days. I will have someone send you the mission details later.” Scarface was still straight to the point; despite the task potentially involving his own life, his face did not betray a trace of panic.

“A Cultivation Secret Realm has been found, where cultivation speed will increase twofold.” All three were immediately intrigued; a twofold increase in cultivation speed was truly a treasure.
