Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 82: Bounty Mission

"Hmm! Having a Five Elements Spirit Root is nothing special. The Shenxiao Dao Sect is not a small sect, and gathering a few resources is manageable."

The old Daoist nodded indifferently. "Moreover," he continued, "many people mistakenly believe that Five Elements Spirit Roots result in slow cultivation progress. In reality, at higher levels, this is a supreme spirit root. Its cultivation speed is actually faster than single element roots."

"Thank you for enlightening me, Senior! I understand now,"

Li Yunjing felt a shiver in his heart as he learned more secrets about spirit roots.

It’s actually quite logical. In the wider Immortal Cultivation Realm, which is filled with small sects and loose cultivators, what sort of insights could these people have?

Even if they defy the heavens and attain great fortunes, at most they could only produce a few Nascent Soul level loose cultivators.

And that’s if they manage to appear once every tens of thousands of years.

The inheritance of the Shenxiao Dao Sect is incredibly ancient; the Sect has records of low-tier disciples going back hundreds of thousands of years.

As for the true depth of its history, only the high-status figures in the Sect might know.

With the Shenxiao Dao Sect having been established for such a long time, it has witnessed countless dynasties rise and fall on the Southern Heaven Continent. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

A sect like this naturally has a deep understanding of spirit roots.

Because the Shenxiao Dao Sect has had such cultivators with these spirit roots appear in its history.

The Sect has witnessed the growth of these disciples and how far they have progressed.

In history, many high-status figures in the Shenxiao Dao Sect have left behind notes and memoirs.

The higher the level of these figures, the more precious their records and memoirs are.

All these items are kept in the Scripture Pavilion.

However, they are not accessible to those in the Qi Cultivation Realm or Foundation Establishment Realm.

Even someone like Li Yunjing, a trusted disciple, has no clue which level of the Scripture Pavilion these memoirs are kept at or what conditions are needed to read them.

The life insights of these high-status figures are comparable to Supreme Divine Techniques and are considered forbidden knowledge of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

The foundation of the Shenxiao Dao Sect is too profound, filled with countless secrets that Li Yunjing could only glimpse a tiny fraction of.

Of course, Foundation Establishment experts in the Shenxiao Dao Sect are well-versed and knowledgeable, so Li Yunjing certainly believed their words.

In fact, through his last visit to the Red Sun Market, Li Yunjing discovered that the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Shenxiao Dao Sect seemed like two different worlds.

Many cultivation principles, as well as cultivation resources, magical artifact tiers, and market prices, were different.

Even the combat power disparity among cultivators of the same level is enormous.

Li Yunjing found it much easier to ambush the three Bai family brothers compared to dealing with Han Shuo and his group.

And the Bai family brothers had a higher cultivation than Han Shuo’s group!

This is the difference between disciples of top-tier sects and ordinary cultivators!

"Cultivate well, I have high hopes for you,"

the old Daoist patted Li Yunjing’s shoulder lightly after chatting with him for a while and then tottered towards the second floor of the pavilion.

"Sigh!"

Li Yunjing sighed, wondering who this old man was and why he approached him repeatedly to chat.

Consider this, in the first level of the Scripture Pavilion, there were at least eighty to a hundred people, staff included. Why approach him specifically?

Little wonder Li Yunjing felt suspicious, puzzled by what a high-status figure would want to discuss with him?

The different levels really make communication challenging.

Most of Li Yunjing’s conversations with the old man were about the old man’s guidance.

He would tell Li Yunjing about the core content in the books, cultivation techniques, and the anecdotes of the Southern Heaven Continent...

He was not some great beauty; it wasn’t like the old man was missing him, was it?

Li Yunjing was filled with doubts.

After asking Su Guo and the others, all they knew was that the old Daoist was someone who could freely enter and exit the second floor; details such as his name, mountain peak, or background were unclear.

After all, different levels led to different contacts.

Li Yunjing couldn’t just report to the Sect Steward about someone chatting with him several times and ask them to investigate the person’s identity.

The high-status figures up there likely knew each other anyway, and Li Yunjing feared that the stewards of the Talent Hall might betray him!

If he met the old man again, he would die of embarrassment.

It could even provoke the old man’s displeasure, leading him to trouble Li Yunjing for no apparent reason.

Li Yunjing let go of his worries and continued immersing himself in the sea of books.

In the cultivation realm, only cultivation is real!

To control your destiny, you must become strong, become stronger!

In these fifteen days, apart from reading as usual, Li Yunjing also collected his first month’s salary.

Thirty contribution points, fifteen low-grade spirit stones, and five Qi Replenishing Pills.

Regarding the Sect’s benefits, Li Yunjing could only say, "Really satisfying!"

Without doing any real work and just reading for fifteen days, he received such a salary.

Considering his last mission to Red Sun Valley, which was life-threatening, it didn’t give as many rewards.

This showed how important a good task is!

During these days, Li Yunjing’s easy-going nature also made him more familiar with the second patrol group, and the relationship among them became much more harmonious.

As long as Su Guo and the others completed their regular duties, Li Yunjing wouldn’t interfere with anything else.

Who wouldn’t like a leader who doesn’t meddle in specifics?

During this time, Fairy Linghua came twice.

The first time, she engaged in friendly conversation with Li Yunjing, establishing rapport, and ended up fleeing in embarrassment after he took some advantage.

The second time was more formal, with serious matters to discuss.

"Junior Brother, could we talk outside?"

Fairy Linghua smiled charmingly, her eyes seductive, making Li Yunjing’s heart itch.

Ever since arriving at the Shenxiao Dao Sect, this wanderer hadn’t been with a beauty for three months.

"Sigh!"

Li Yunjing sighed, "Fine, let’s talk at my place."

This woman wasn’t to be trusted; Li Yunjing had no intention of conquering her.

He merely took a little advantage, played around with her! Didn’t take her seriously at all.

Like going to a nightspot, a fleeting flirtation; did you think I really liked you?

Was I truly captivated by you?

Don’t flatter yourself!

Men’s words being deceitful isn’t just a saying!

"Fine... fine!"

Remembering Li Yunjing’s impropriety, Fairy Linghua shuddered but gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Heh..."

Li Yunjing chuckled. What was with the expression? Did she really think he would eat her alive?

Seeing Li Yunjing’s displeasure, Fairy Linghua forced a smile.

This time, she had to humble herself. Wei Henian had pressed her, and this task had to be completed!

Faced with Wei Henian’s anger, Fairy Linghua couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear.

This task must be completed!

There was no room for negotiation!

Even if it meant sacrificing herself to lure Li Yunjing out of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, she had no choice!

Fairy Linghua naturally wouldn’t dare turn against Li Yunjing.

Even if ridiculed by him, she acted as if she didn’t mind, still wearing a charming smile.

"Damn, our leader is so lucky!"

"This girl doesn’t look decent, our leader is falling for the beauty trap!"

"Hehe, who cares about that! That’s his decision for enjoyment!"

...

Under the second group’s ambiguous gazes, the two left the Scripture Pavilion.

If Li Yunjing knew his "brothers" were talking about him this way, he would definitely conduct a big cleanup!

The first floor of the Scripture Pavilion had to be spotless; he’d drill them hard once!

In Li Yunjing’s wooden house, both of them settled into host and guest positions.

"Fairy Linghua, what important matter brings you here?"

Li Yunjing crossed his legs, very casual. He had no desires regarding this woman, so he wouldn’t humble himself before Fairy Linghua.

No way he would put on a respectful demeanor.

"Hehe, it’s about going out for a mission again!"

Fairy Linghua felt displeased by Li Yunjing’s disrespectful attitude. But with the task at hand, she had no choice but to keep a smiling face.

Her expressive eyes looked tenderly at Li Yunjing as she continued, "I took a task from the Law Enforcement Hall. There’s a group of tribulation cultivators in the Youlan Mountain Range, specializing in ambushing cultivators. Last time, one of our inner sect disciples was killed by these tribulation cultivators."

Seeing Li Yunjing listening attentively, Fairy Linghua continued, "This time, the Law Enforcement Hall has offered a reward of three thousand contribution points to eliminate these tribulation cultivators and avenge our senior brother."

"Hmm? An inner sect disciple was killed?"

Li Yunjing was mildly surprised. Inner sect disciples were Qi Cultivation Seventh or Eighth Layer experts, each skilled in inner sect techniques and equipped with treasures and practical experience.

One inner sect disciple could easily fight against ten!

If such a person could be killed by tribulation cultivators,

Fairy Linghua must be out of her mind!

How could he, a mere Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer junior cultivator, participate in such a task? Wouldn’t that be suicidal? No way, absolutely not!

Li Yunjing shook his head firmly, adamantly refusing.

Fairy Linghua giggled, anticipating Li Yunjing’s reaction.

If he didn’t hesitate and accepted directly, she would have suspected something.

"Junior Brother, don’t worry, it’s not just the two of us going. Both you and your senior sister are scared. If inner sect disciples were killed, how could we possibly take the three thousand contribution points all for ourselves?"

Fairy Linghua continued explaining.

"Oh? There are others too?"

Li Yunjing pretended to realize and asked.

"Of course! The mission is initiated by the Law Enforcement Hall, so they will naturally participate along with other experts from various peaks. Many outer sect and inner sect experts will join."

Fairy Linghua explained in detail to Li Yunjing.

This time, to trap Li Yunjing, the Laws Association did not lead the task.

Instead, they cleverly used their rivals in the Law Enforcement Hall, taking advantage of the opportunity to act.

Ostensibly, only three members of the Laws Association were involved in this operation.

This approach was meant to allay Li Yunjing’s fears and ensure he would leave the mountain without hesitation.

Once in the Youlan Mountain Range, the Laws Association had more schemes to ensure Li Yunjing would be utterly dead before returning.

Wei Henian had put much thought and resources into uncovering Li Yunjing’s secrets.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing nodded, inwardly sneering, thinking he was unaware of their plot?

During an outside mission, encountering tribulation cultivators meant there would be fights. At that point, fellow disciples would scatter, and naturally, the Laws Association members would target him.

If Li Yunjing were killed, the blame would naturally fall on the tribulation cultivators.

Dead men tell no tales, ending it once and for all!

If he died and lost value, Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao wouldn’t care, and with time, the matter would be forgotten.

"Hehe..."

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing asked again, "With so many people involved, wouldn’t there be few contribution points to share?"

"Junior Brother, you’re mistaken!"

Fairy Linghua chuckled lightly, "Tribulation cultivators generally have wealth. In this mission, whatever we gain, we keep. If you can kill three or four tribulation cultivators, you’ll be wealthy!"
