572: Chapter 572 Drunken Immortal Pavilion

Time flowed slowly.

Soon, the challenge matches concluded.

The golden throne gradually dissipated, Disciples scattered one after another, and the plaza returned to its usual tranquility.

Qin Yan did not linger, directly returning to his own courtyard.

Afterwards, he picked up his long spear and resumed training.

Within the room, spear shadows overlapped heavily.

In the following period, while training, Qin Yan also occasionally took on some missions, killing some Sixth-Rank Martial Artists to obtain blood qi.

The days passed simply and fulfillingly.

Cultivation knows no time; in the blink of an eye, another month passed.

The date arrived at March 1st!

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window, casting dappled light and shadow on the floor.

Qin Yan ended his training and stored away his long spear.

Immediately, he opened his panel to check his own status.

[Qi Refining: Sixth-Rank Early Stage (Five Elements Primordial Scripture First Layer 53%)]

[Body Tempering: Fifth Grade Peak (Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture Second Layer 48%)]

[Total blood qi: 580,000 Cal]

[Qi Refining: 360,000 Cal]

[Body Tempering: 220,000 Cal]

[spirit: 195 Hz]

[Spear Dao: Sixth-Stage Spear Intent

Spear Intent: Fourth-Rank Destructions End Spear Intent (100%)

Third-Rank Nirvana Spear Intent (100%)]

[spirit weapon: moyuan spirit weapon]

[Alchemy Dao: Fifth-Rank Alchemist (17%)]

[Physique: Indestructible Blood Demon Body (Minor Achievement)]

[Martial Skills: Blood Puppet Creation, Five Elements Martial Arts General Outline — Ice Flame Spear Technique (Major Achievement)]

[Origin Divine Abilitys: Blood Curse, Demonic Utterance Heavenly Edict (Demonic Path · Blood Curse Advanced · Seal), Five-Colored Spiritual Light]

[Skill Points: 0 points]

"The progress of the 'Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture' has already reached 48%."

Qin Yan's gaze fell on that line of numbers, his mind silently calculating.

From 35% to 48%, these 13 percentage points condensed all the Skill Points he had obtained from training over the past month.

He had hardly used Skill Points on anything else, investing them all into this Body Tempering Cultivation Technique.

He had a premonition that once its progress reached 50%, it would be the time for him to attempt a Breakthrough into the Sixth-Rank Awakening Orifices Realm in Body Tempering.

The Awakening Orifices Realm was a Realm above the Meridian Connecting Realm, another transformation for Body Tempering Martial Artists.

Once he broke through, his strength would leap forward once again.

"Pity, time waits for no one."

Today had already arrived at March 1st.

Those previously unviewable missions were finally unlocked today!

And their team had already accepted a mission this morning!

Thinking of this, Qin Yan immediately checked this mission.

[Seven Star Sword Sect colludes with Demonic Sect. Requirement: Destroy the Seven Star Sword Sect, eliminate all its high-ranking members.]

[Mission Type: Team Mission]

[Reward: 5000 taixuan points]

[Difficulty: Super Five-Star]

[Requirement: Accept if you're not afraid of death]

"Truly worthy of a Super Five-Star mission, rewarding 5000 taixuan points, that's an enormous amount."

Qin Yan looked at that line of numbers, feeling shocked inside.

The highest reward among the missions he had done before was only 70 taixuan points.

5000 points was a number he hadn't even dared to imagine before.

Super Five-Star missions had a difficulty above that of Five-Star missions, but not yet reaching Six-Star level.

Six-Star missions were generally tasks only Grandmasters could accept; Six-Star missions simply didn't exist in the Outer Court.

"However, this mission is actually related to the Demonic Sect, that's quite interesting."

Demonic Sect — that mysterious organization related to the Demon Race, the existence denounced by everyone across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

He had always been very curious about the Demonic Sect, just never had the chance to come into contact with it.

He never expected that this mission would be related to it.

Afterwards, Qin Yan walked out of the courtyard.

Today was the day for his first meeting with the other members of the team, and also the day to carry out this team mission together.

He arrived at the plaza, found Huang Jiuli, and the two met up.

"Let's go, they are already waiting," Huang Jiuli said.

Qin Yan nodded, and the two walked together towards Taixuan City.

...

East City of Taixuan City.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

This was a three-story pavilion, with carved beams and painted rafters, possessing an antique charm.

People came and went at the entrance, exceptionally lively.

The fragrance of wine wafted from inside the building, intertwining with the clamor of the street, composing a bustling picture of city life.

Inside the tavern, voices buzzed like a swarm of bees.

One Martial Artist after another drank spirit wine heartily, chatting about all sorts of strange and interesting tales from far and wide.

"Have you heard? The Old Ancestor of the Liu Family has broken through to the Tenth-Rank True King!"

"Liu Family? The one that has been entrenched in South City for three hundred years?"

"That's right! From now on, the Liu Family is a True King Family! Another thousand-year Family that won't fall!"

"Tsk tsk, can't be envious..."

"Have you noticed? Recently, the Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land have been quite active."

"You're not aware of this. I heard the Taixuan Holy Land has started undertaking a large number of missions; it's the Inner Court assessment."

"Inner Court assessment? No wonder..."

"..."

Inside the tavern, many Martial Artists were engaged in various discussions; all kinds of news, rumors, and gossip converged and collided here.

At this moment, within a quiet private room in the tavern, three people were sitting there.

Two women and one man, each emanating a powerful aura, standing in stark contrast to the noise outside.

"Yin Li, are your two friends almost here?"

A man spoke up.

He wore a set of cyan robes, his features handsome and elegant.

He picked up the wine cup beside him and drank it down in one gulp, his movements Dashing and noble.

This was Lu Qingshan, a Special Grade Disciple of the North Courtyard, hailing from the Lu Family of Taixuan City.

Yin Li spoke softly: "Be patient for a moment. Nine-Li just sent me a message; the two of them are almost here."

She was still dressed in a plain white dress, her hair as dark as ink, gently tied up with a white jade hairpin.

A faint air of scholarly refinement lingered around her, out of place with the tavern's atmosphere.

At this moment, the woman beside Yin Li spoke: "Then let's wait a little longer."

That woman wore a light blue long dress, its hem embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, with a touch of heroic spirit between her brows.

This was Yun Qingge, a Special Grade Disciple of the North Courtyard, hailing from the Yun Family of Taixuan City. Like Lu Qingshan, her Family also had a True Emperor Realm Old Ancestor overseeing it.

Immediately, the several of them sat cross-legged, silently circulating their own Cultivation Techniques to regulate their breathing.

Not long after, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Two figures walked in.

One wore red robes, blazing like fire — it was Huang Jiuli.

One wore black robes, with a gentle countenance — it was Qin Yan.

Qin Yan entered the room, his gaze sweeping over the three people before him.

He had met Yin Li before; her strength was formidable.

Even now that he had reached the Sixth-Rank Early Stage, he still couldn't see through her strength.

That aura was unfathomably deep, like a still pond — calm on the surface, but with undercurrents surging beneath.
