120: Accept the commission, Lei Mang appears

“Senior Thirteen, you seem to value this child very much?”

“This child has extraordinary talent; he may become the successor of our Sect in the future.”

Valley Cheng’s heart trembled. For an Old Man to give such a high evaluation of Lin Yuan, it showed that the Young Man’s talent must have exceeded everyone’s imagination!

……

Inside the Hall of Merits.

Many Disciples stood bustling about.

Lin Yuan came to an empty window, where a Maid said, “Hello, what level of commission would you like to accept?”

“Can you introduce me to the commission grading?”

Hearing this, the Maid’s Face showed a slight surprise, and then she patiently explained, “Commissions are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Levels A and B are suitable for Qi Gathering Realm Cultivators to accept, while levels C and D are suitable for Condensing Core Realm Cultivators. It is recommended that you accept commissions of the appropriate level according to your cultivation.”

“Then show me the C and D levels.”

“Okay.”

The Maid opened the projection, and commissions appeared one by one.

Lin Yuan directly looked at the ones with the most reward points.

【A group of bandits has recently appeared outside Flying Tiger City, robbing passing Cultivators. Their cultivation is all in the Condensing Core Realm Late Stage. Please kill all the bandits and quell the chaos.】

【Reward: One hundred merit points.】

Seeing this commission, Lin Yuan immediately asked, “Where is this Flying Tiger City?”

“It’s several hundred kilometers north of the Sect.”

After the Maid finished speaking, she took out a map and handed it to him.

Lin Yuan observed the terrain and found that War Heaven City was also to the north, so going to Flying Tiger City would be on the way.

So, he decisively said, “I’ll take this commission.”

“Okay, once you complete the task, bring the bandits’ heads, and once their appearances are confirmed, the merit points will be issued.”

“Understood. Also, I’d like to ask, can merit points be exchanged for healing treasures?”

“Of course.”

The Maid projected again, and items appeared before his eyes.

“Sister Shuang, see which of these can help you recover from your injuries.”

As Lin Yuan transmitted his voice, Ao Ling霜 was already examining them with her spiritual sense.

“Xiao Yuan, although these things can all heal injuries, their effects are only average.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Ask her if she can get Pixiu Blood Essence.”

“Pixiu Blood Essence?”

“Exactly. The Pixiu is an Auspicious Beast and possesses extremely strong vitality. Its blood will definitely help me recover a bit.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and asked, “Can I exchange for Pixiu Blood Essence in the hall?”

“Yes, but it requires ten thousand merit points.”

Ten thousand!

Lin Yuan’s eyes widened. Such a high amount, even with the one thousand merit points Lu Ke left him, would require completing at least a hundred low-level commissions to achieve.

“Then can I accept A and B level commissions?”

“A and B level commissions require verification of Qi Gathering Realm cultivation to accept.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel regret. He was currently only in the Condensing Core Realm, and he would have to wait until he had a Breakthrough before he could accept Advanced commissions.

“It’s alright, Xiao Yuan. I’ve been injured for so long, there’s no rush.”

“Sister Shuang, you are mistaken. You’ve helped me so much, so I naturally should find a way to help you heal as soon as possible.”

As Lin Yuan spoke, he thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would ask his Revered Master to see if there were other ways to obtain Pixiu Blood Essence.

Next, he returned to his Immortal Cave, intending to Cultivate with the yaolei beads first before heading to Flying Tiger City.

……

Yun Yao Peak.

Inside the main hall.

“Chan’er, I haven’t seen you on the peak these past few days. Did you go somewhere to Cultivate?”

Shen Mingzhu sat in the main seat, looking at her graceful Disciple, and asked.

Lu Yichan hesitated for a moment before admitting, “To be honest, Disciple has been accompanying her Dao Companion in Cultivation these past few days.”

“Dao Companion?”

The Mei Fu frowned, “With your picky eye, you actually found a Dao Companion? Who is he?”

“His name is Lin Yuan.”

“Lin Yuan… are you referring to the Prodigy who displayed Four Tiger Strength?”

“Yes.”

Upon learning the man’s identity, Shen Mingzhu suddenly understood, “So it’s him. No wonder he captured your heart.”

“Hehe, Disciple was just lucky enough to receive Junior Brother Lin’s favor.”

“Indeed, this child has excellent talent and will surely achieve great things in the future. You must get along well with him.”

Lu Yichan responded with a faint smile, “Understood, Revered Master. Disciple will definitely serve Junior Brother Lin well.”

Beside them, Liu Yuyan secretly pouted, “What if his talent is high? Isn’t he still a stingy person?”

The Mei Fu suddenly stood up, hands behind her back, and said, “The Gao Family Old Ancestor’s thousand-year birthday celebration is coming soon. I once received her guidance, and I plan to go offer my congratulations. Would you two like to accompany me?”

Immediately, both women looked a bit troubled.

Lu Yichan wanted to accompany her lover in Cultivation, so she naturally didn’t want to leave.

As for Liu Yuyan, she had accepted a commission and didn’t want to waste time going elsewhere.

Seeing their hesitation, Shen Mingzhu laughed lightly, “Alright, since neither of you wishes to go, then I will go alone. You both stay on the peak and Cultivate.”

“Yes, Revered Master.”

The two women said in unison.

“Whoosh.”

The Mei Fu flashed and disappeared, leaving them standing in place.

Liu Yuyan turned to leave when Lu Yichan interrupted, “Junior Sister Liu, regarding what happened last time, have you apologized to Young Master?”

The Young Girl paused, then said coolly, “I’ve already apologized. Why should I apologize again?”

Lu Yichan shook her head, “Sigh, you still don’t understand Young Master’s personality. He responds to gentleness, not stubbornness. If you sincerely admit your fault in a gentle manner, there’s a high chance he’ll forgive you. But if you remain as stubborn as you are now, you’ll definitely not escape punishment.”

“Punishment? By what right does he punish me?”

“Simply because you offended him.”

“Heh, then let him come.”

Liu Yuyan scoffed and quickly left the main hall.

Looking at the other party’s graceful back, Lu Yichan helplessly said, “I told you so much out of consideration for fellow Disciples. Since you’re so stubborn, don’t regret it when you get punished.”

She herself had once been as arrogant as the other party, looking down on all her peers, but was eventually deeply impressed by Lin Yuan’s strength.

If nothing unexpected happened, this woman’s outcome would most likely be the same as hers.

……

Cloud Sovereign Peak.

“Clang!”

A dazzling lightning bolt shot past, blasting a large pit into the distant mountain wall.

“Finally, I’ve mastered it!”

Lin Yuan clenched his fist, his Face filled with excitement.

“Although I’ve only managed to unleash one lightning bolt, its power can at least rival an Advanced Profound Rank Martial Skill. Once I digest the remaining two yaolei beads, I’ll have the chance to unleash three lightning bolts, at which point their power will be directly comparable to Earth Rank Martial Skills.”

As he spoke, he walked towards the house.

Just then, Lu Yichan returned and immediately threw herself into the man’s embrace.

“Young Master, Chan’er is back.”

“Mm, I happen to have something to tell you all.”

Embracing the Young Girl, Lin Yuan entered the living room and announced his itinerary for the next few days to the women.
