559: Chapter 559 Nangong Wan'er!!

Soon, Qin Yan continued refining Medicinal Pills.

One portion of Materials after another was tossed into the cauldron, and one furnace of Medicinal Pills after another was refined.

His movements became increasingly proficient, his techniques smoother, as if he had refined them thousands of times.

By the afternoon, Qin Yan had finished refining all ten portions of Materials, replacing them with one hundred meridian opening pills!

One hundred meridian opening pills were neatly packed into ten jade bottles, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

If exchanged in the arena, these one hundred meridian opening pills would cost 500 tiangang points, yet he only spent 50 taixuan points.

This was the benefit of being an Alchemist, the advantage of being a craftsman.

Soon, Qin Yan took a meridian opening pill and began to refine it.

The Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, turning into a warm medicinal force that surged into his body.

Driven by his blood qi and Devilish Qi, that medicinal force flowed along his Meridians, striking against the barrier of the next Meridian.

One, two, three... Pill after pill was swallowed by Qin Yan, and the Meridians within his body were being opened one by one.

Those previously tightly closed Meridians were opened one by one under the impact of the medicinal force.

January 14th.

Qin Yan sat cross-legged, feeling the earth-shaking changes within his body.

"It's done!"

Qin Yan looked at the Meridians within his body; at this moment, all thirty-six of his Meridians had been cleared!

Thirty-six Meridians, like thirty-six rivers, crisscrossed within his body, flowing with power.

Thirty-one of these Meridians had finished gestating, transforming into Blood Demon Meridians, emitting a light intertwined with red and black.

The remaining five, the ones he had recently opened, were still gestating, emitting a faint light.

Once these five Meridians finished gestating, he would be at the Peak of meridian opening!

By then, his Body Refining Realm would reach the Fifth Grade Peak, and his blood qi would skyrocket once again!

"Everything is ready. Next, I should add my Skill Points to the Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

He had to increase his Body Refining, because one of the conditions for condensing the Supreme Great Destruction Spear Intent was to possess a powerful Physical Body; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the Great Destruction Spear Intent.

Without a strong Physical Body, he would simply be unable to control that kind of destructive power.

"However, I should take on a few missions first. It doesn't look good to always have zero contribution."

He couldn't advance his Body Refining progress to the point of breaking through to the Sixth Rank in the short term.

It would be better to take on a few missions to earn taixuan points; with resources, he might even be able to aid his Breakthrough in Qi Refining!

Thinking of this, Qin Yan immediately sank his Mental Energy into his token to observe the situation of his team.

[Inner Court Assessment]

[Team: Qin Yan, Huang Jiuli, Yin Li, Yun Wuyue, Lu Qingshan]

[Huang Jiuli Contribution: 285]

[Yin Li Contribution: 301]

[Yun Wuyue Contribution: 204]

[Lu Qingshan Contribution: 201]

[Qin Yan Contribution: 0]

[Cumulative Contribution: 991]

His team now had five people—Huang Jiuli, Yin Li, Yun Wuyue, Lu Qingshan, and himself.

Yun Wuyue and Lu Qingshan were a woman and a man, two unfamiliar names.

They must be the other two teammates that Huang Jiuli and Yin Li found; both were Special Grade Disciples.

At this moment, behind the names of the other four teammates were huge amounts of contribution points.

Huang Jiuli 285, Yin Li 301, Yun Wuyue 204, Lu Qingshan 201.

The cumulative contribution had already reached 991 points, while he was still at zero.

In other words, in the half month he had spent breaking through, his four teammates had completed nearly 1000 points worth of missions.

And he hadn't done a single thing.

Qin Yan looked at that "0" and felt somewhat ashamed.

If he didn't start working, the team would have complaints!

Qin Yan immediately sank his Mental Energy into the token, opened the mission list, and began searching for missions.

He then discovered that there were indeed many more missions than before!

The missions he had taken before were only missions from the East Courtyard.

But now, these missions were shared by the entire Outer Court of the Taixuan Holy Land!

The four major Outer Courts, with over one hundred thousand Disciples, all had their mission pools combined.

The sheer number and variety of missions were dazzling.

Qin Yan's gaze swept over the missions one by one.

Collecting Spirit Medicine, clearing out Yao Beasts, escorting merchant caravans, investigating Secret Realms, exploring ruins, hunting down fugitives...

All kinds of missions were laid out before him.

"Huh, what is this mission?"

Qin Yan's gaze was suddenly drawn to one mission.

The title of the mission only had a few characters—[???]

He tried to click to view the details, but found that the mission wouldn't open and couldn't be viewed.

Soon, a message was transmitted into his mind:

[This mission is too difficult; it will open in March.]

"Too difficult? It will open in March?"

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Could this mission be for some kind of Late Stage sprint?

He pondered for a moment, then stopped overthinking it.

No matter what kind of mission it was, it wasn't something he could take right now.

His Mental Energy continued to scan the missions.

After some searching, Qin Yan also discovered that there were quite a few other missions that couldn't be viewed, all requiring them to be opened in March.

The names of those missions were very vague, with only simple codenames—"Taixuan Secret Realm", "Abyss Rift", "Ancient Battlefield Ruins"... Each one sounded far from simple.

It seemed that a batch of high-difficulty missions would be released in March; those were likely prepared for the powerful Disciples.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he finally found a suitable mission.

[Escort the Nangong Family Young Miss, Nangong Waner, to the Qingyun Sect]

[Difficulty: Three Stars]

[Requirement: Sixth-Rank Martial Artist or above]

[Reward: 40 taixuan points]

Qin Yan immediately accepted this mission.

There was no other reason—

First, this mission took little time, taking only a day or two for the round trip.

Second, it wasn't far from the Taixuan Holy Land, so he wouldn't need to have too much contact with those major powers.

Third, the reward was quite good: 40 taixuan points.

Qin Yan checked the detailed information of the mission once more, and after confirming everything was correct, he got up and left the Taixuan Holy Land.

...

South of Taixuan City.

The Nangong Family.

While called a Family, it was actually just a lower-middle-tier Family, and the strongest person in the clan was only a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist.

In a place like Taixuan City, they could only be considered a small, insignificant household.

At this moment, in the Nangong Family's assembly hall, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

"Family Head, three of the guards to escort the Young Miss have arrived; only the last one has yet to arrive."

A Family retainer reported respectfully.

The Nangong Family Head, Nangong Tian, nodded upon hearing this.

He had a burly figure and a resolute face, with an air of authority from long-standing high status between his brows.

However, his gaze was currently tinged with worry as it fell upon his daughter beside him.

She was a young girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old.

She was dressed in a light cyan long dress, with a delicate and gentle face; there was a scholarly air between her brows, yet she also possessed the liveliness of a young girl.
