47: hunting mission

Looking at Senior Sister Chen's courtyard, Han Li's eyes gleamed.

From the pervasive Aura, he could roughly tell that Senior Sister Chen had broken through the Heavenly Profound Barrier and successfully entered the Innate Realm.

"Now, I'm the only one in Yuhua Peak who hasn't reached the Innate Realm..."

Looking at Senior Sister Chen's courtyard, Han Li's heart twitched.

All these Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters had entered the Innate Realm.

Suddenly, a distance had opened up.

The Innate Realm represented a qualitative difference.

A transformation from mortal to transcendent.

The gap between Innate True Qi and Acquired True Qi was completely on a different level.

"Swoosh—"

Han Li's figure moved, and in an instant, he arrived at Senior Sister Chen's courtyard.

Standing at the courtyard gate, he could clearly sense the powerful Aura emanating from within.

Han Li peered into the courtyard, and just as he was about to leave, the main door in the middle of the courtyard opened, and Senior Sister Chen's figure stepped out from the room.

Seeing Senior Sister Chen appear, Han Li pushed open the courtyard gate and entered.

"Congratulations, Senior Sister Chen, on your Breakthrough to the Innate Realm and successful transformation from mortal. This is truly cause for celebration."

Han Li smiled and bowed.

Senior Sister Chen's face also broke into a brilliant smile: "I finally broke through. I suppose I'm a late bloomer."

"Senior Sister is so young, how can you say you're a late bloomer? You should be called a Prodigy."

Han Li said.

At close range, he could feel the invisible Aura emanating from Senior Sister Chen's delicate body. She had just broken through to the Innate Realm and was not yet too stable, but all that remained was to stabilize her Realm.

"You certainly know how to talk," Senior Sister Chen chuckled.

"Senior Sister Chen, now that you've broken through to the Innate Realm and become a True Disciple, you can also claim your private Dao grounds from the Sect."

"There's no rush for that. I'll stabilize first," Senior Sister Chen said.

Han Li nodded.

"Junior Brother, you're also doing well. I believe it won't be long before you also step into the Innate Realm," Senior Sister Chen said, looking at Han Li.

"I've only just broken through to the Vein Opening Realm, it's still early. Senior Sister, you've just broken through, so please stabilize yourself first. I won't disturb you."

"Alright, go. Once I'm completely stable and my Dao grounds are established, we can celebrate together," Senior Sister Chen nodded.

"Okay." Han Li nodded, then greeted her and left the courtyard.

Watching Han Li's departing figure, Senior Sister Chen turned and re-entered her room... Leaving Yuhua Peak, Han Li headed straight for Heaven and Earth Peak.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he arrived at the Heaven and Earth Peak hall.

Entering the main hall, Han Li registered his identity and began to look through the tasks.

Hunting tasks all required leaving the Sect.

Han Li didn't want to go too far, staying within the Qingzhou Prefecture would be fine.

As for outside Qingzhou Prefecture, he wasn't considering it for now. Even with his speed, a round trip would take a very long time.

Sliding the Spirit Mirror, Han Li looked at each task.

There were many hunting tasks, and compared to tasks for collecting Spirit Medicine, they offered significantly more merit points.

Most of them started at a hundred merit points.

Hunting tasks could only be viewed and accepted by Inner Sect Disciples.

Outer Sect Disciples couldn't; even if they accepted them, it would basically be a death wish.

"Even Innate Realm masters can be included in hunting tasks!"

Seeing one of the tasks, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

This hunting task was to hunt down an Innate Second Realm master.

The details of the task were also very clear.

"Blood Demon Old Man, strength: Innate Qi Realm, cruel by nature, kills without blinking, once massacred an entire village to Cultivate evil arts... Task difficulty: Rank Nine."

"One million merit points!"

Seeing the number of merit points at the end, Han Li's eyelids twitched.

One million merit points was definitely an astronomical figure.

However, considering the difficulty of the task, one million merit points didn't seem like much.

In addition to the merit point reward, there were also Medicinal Pill rewards, which were very tempting.

However, he could only covet them.

Although he could view this task, he couldn't accept it. This was a task that only True Disciples could accept.

Sect tasks were for tempering Disciples, not for sending them to their deaths.

Only True Disciples had the authority to accept tasks of this Rank.

Coming back to his senses, Han Li continued to slide the Spirit Mirror downwards.

Tasks were filtered one by one.

After browsing over a hundred tasks, Han Li found his first task.

"Blood Wind Stronghold Leader, Yang Feng, strength: Vein Opening Realm Late Stage..."

Looking at the details of this task, Han Li's eyes lit up.

This task was very challenging for him, but it wasn't impossible to complete.

Vein Opening Realm Late Stage.

It wasn't impossible to deal with.

The merit point reward for this task was also considerable, a full seven thousand merit points. In addition to the merit points, there was an extra Medicinal Pill reward.

Earth Spirit Pill.

It was an Advanced Medicinal Pill used by those in the Vein Opening Realm, and its value was not insignificant.

"Hmm, this task shouldn't be too problematic." After pondering for a moment and carefully reading the task details, Han Li accepted the task.

However, he didn't leave but continued to look.

Sliding the Spirit Mirror and continuing to browse, Han Li quickly found a second task.

This task was a demonic beast task.

After confirming the details, Han Li immediately accepted the second task.

Checking other tasks again, Han Li browsed for a moment, then finally accepted the third task.

This task was to eliminate an imperial fugitive.

All three tasks were within Qingzhou Prefecture.

After accepting the three tasks, Han Li left the main hall. He then went to other halls.

Preparatory work had to be done well.

Leaving Heaven and Earth Peak, his merit points were completely spent.

Then, Han Li went to Qingyuan Market again to buy some Medicinal Pills. With everything ready, Han Li didn't return to Yuhua Peak but headed straight out of the Sect gate... Speeding along, Han Li quickly left the Sect gate.

Standing on the hilltop, Han Li gazed into the distance, able to see the massive Qingyun Prefecture City.

This was his first time leaving the Sect gate to perform a task since joining the Qingyuan Sect.

Han Li felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Leaving the Qingyuan Sect meant leaving his comfort zone.

Outside, he needed to be even more cautious and careful.

Taking out his identity token, Han Li checked the task details. He chose the first task, which was near a county town about six hundred li away.

Judging by the location, it was also the closest to him.

Han Li took out a jade plate.

On the jade plate, various light spots flickered.

This jade plate was called the ruyi compass.

As long as True Qi was used to activate the ruyi compass, detailed map information could be displayed. By finding the desired location on the map, the ruyi compass could accurately pinpoint it.

One could say it was even more accurate than a mobile phone navigation system in his previous life.

This ruyi compass contained the geographical locations of all territories within Qingzhou Prefecture.

There was also a more comprehensive Nine Provinces ruyi compass, but that thing required thousands of merit points to exchange. Han Li didn't have many merit points, so he could only buy the Qingzhou ruyi compass for now.

It cost him several hundred merit points, bringing his merit points directly to rock bottom.

Activating the ruyi compass, a virtual image appeared on it.

Han Li checked the dense location information on it and selected a place.

White Tiger County.

This was the closest geographical task to him.

"Five hundred thirty-two li..."

Looking at the distance marked by the ruyi compass, Han Li smacked his lips.

After confirming the direction, Han Li looked back at the Qingyuan Sect, and his figure, like the wind, vanished from the spot... Han Li chose a relatively secluded route, so he could fully utilize Divine Travel Eight Desolations to travel.

Although he was moving through mountain paths, with the speed of Divine Travel Eight Desolations, his speed was not slow, faster than a galloping horse.

His body was like a gentle breeze, his steps like lightning.

His powerful physique allowed him to run for extended periods... Night fell.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars sparkled.

Outside White Tiger County City in Qingyun Prefecture, Han Li's figure appeared.

After rushing over five hundred thirty li, Han Li barely rested along the way.

But he finally reached his first destination.

"It's too late. I'll rest in the county town tonight and go tomorrow."

Looking at White Tiger County City, a thought flashed through Han Li's mind. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a few breaths, and then headed towards the county town.
