29: New tasks of the system

"Young Miss."

Inside a quiet and elegant palace on a certain spiritual peak.

A corner suddenly stirred, and a middle-aged man emerged, kneeling on one knee before the figure sitting cross-legged in the center.

The Young Master with a jade-like face sat in the very center of the main hall, vast and boundless Spiritual Qi surging around him, so dense it was almost enough to drip liquid.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.

The surging Spiritual Qi around his body poured into his Physique like a vortex, and even though the man had witnessed it many times, he was still shocked by such a terrifying rate of Spiritual Qi absorption.

But this was normal; after all, his Young Miss was no ordinary person.

"Has he... made any Moves?"

At this moment, Bai Mengdie gradually stopped absorbing Spiritual Qi.

Her eyes, as bright as the starry sky, slowly opened as she looked at the man and asked softly.

"Reporting to Young Miss, it is only news regarding his two followers."

"They have now left the Cloud Heaven Sect, and judging by their route, they are preparing to go to the nearby Tianjian City."

"His followers?"

The Young Master with a jade-like face pondered slightly, quickly recalling them; he had maintained a certain level of attention on the followers the man spoke of.

One of them possessed a King Physique, and the other a Spirit Rank Physique; speaking of which, their future achievements would certainly not be too low.

They could already be considered decent talents within the Sect.

"What have they been doing these past three years?"

Facing Bai Mengdie's question, the man had clearly prepared his report beforehand.

He immediately recounted the general events of Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan over the past three years:

In the first year, Qin Dong frequently traveled back and forth to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

At first, the Elders of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion looked upon him with admiration, praising the boy for his incredibly firm heart for the Dao and limitless future potential.

As time went on, the Elders of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion realized that every time this guy came over, he was frantically flipping through all sorts of messy Cultivation Techniques.

From time to time, he would even let out strange "hehehe" laughter, which was truly unrefined.

Furthermore, each time he flipped through them, it generally took no more than five minutes.

He treated the dignified Cultivation Technique Pavilion like a vegetable market, and in the end, the Elders of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion could no longer tolerate it and drove him out.

In the second year, Qin Dong spent most of his time in seclusion.

Qin Zixuan sold a batch of Spirit Medicine, exchanged it for two Foundation Establishment Pills, and achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, and went to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to select a Cultivation Technique.

In the third year, Qin Dong remained in seclusion, and Qin Zixuan remained in seclusion.

Within this year, the two had not taken a single step away from One Pillar Supporting Heaven Peak.

"Both are cultivating hard within the Sect and have not left..."

Bai Mengdie nodded, although someone's behavior was indeed a bit eccentric.

But in her heart, she was quite optimistic about these two; after all, how could people who could drive for a figure like Zhang Yizhi be ordinary?

However, by comparison, she was more concerned about Zhang Yizhi's whereabouts.

But unfortunately, once that person entered the Sect, there was no news of him at all.

One didn't need to guess to know that he must have been taken away by a Nascent Soul True Lord of the Cloud Heaven Sect for hellish, devilish training.

"Just keep an eye out for news."

Bai Mengdie waved her hand and then entered a state of cultivation again.

"Yes, Young Miss."

The man bowed in salute, and then his body disappeared.

...

On the way to Tianjian City, the two were also constantly exchanging their recent insights on cultivation.

Of course, these were serious cultivation insights.

After a year of consolidation, Qin Zixuan's cultivation had stabilized, and she had basically mastered the power of the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Relying on the blessing of the Spiritual Qi on the spiritual peak, this speed was already shocking.

One must know that the head of the Qin Family, Qin Su, who was known as the number one Genius of Huangxuan City, only succeeded in Foundation Establishment at the age of forty.

As a Loose Cultivator, Qin Su did not know how much he had paid to obtain a single Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve his current status.

Within the Nine Sects, Foundation Establishment Pills were almost infinitely supplied.

From this, one could see the gap between a Loose Cultivator and a Disciple of an immortal Sect.

"Lecher, I always fail to perfectly execute the third layer of this Earth Rank Medium Grade Clear Shadow Swaying Sword technique. What is the reason for this?"

While the two were chatting, Qin Zixuan suddenly asked.

"It's simple. Your Mind-Cultivation Technique has a slight conflict with this set of sword Moves. You should do this and that when executing the third layer of the sword style..."

Qin Dong, standing beside her, carefully explained her confusion.

Carrying hundreds of various Cultivation Techniques, he had long since mastered these problems, and his attainment in the Dao was fifty years ahead of his peers.

After some words, Qin Zixuan was suddenly enlightened.

"Let me try."

Qin Zixuan's eyes lit up; she was moved, eager to improve, and immediately pulled Qin Dong and dived into the nearby small woods.

Not far away, several figures followed quietly.

Inside the small woods, Qin Zixuan took out her long sword, bowed slightly to Qin Dong, and immediately began to execute the sword Moves.

Raise the sword!

Qin Zixuan's eyes became sharp, and as she raised her sword, this set of Earth Rank sword techniques was extremely flexible.

Her figure danced and shifted in the forest, manifesting phantom shadows. Within the shadows, sword light was slashed out from time to time, and every sword strike stirred up ripples of Spiritual Qi.

If it were to strike a person, the other party would likely not have a good time.

Following the other's advice, Qin Zixuan adjusted her use of her Mind-Cultivation Technique and Qi, and began to try to execute the third layer sword style of the Clear Shadow Swaying Sword.

She closed her eyes, feeling the surrounding Spiritual Qi, and tried to fuse them with her own Mind-Cultivation Technique.

She gradually found a balance point, enabling herself to neither waste Qi when executing sword Moves nor affect the power of the sword Moves.

Gradually, Qin Zixuan felt her sword Moves becoming smoother and smoother, and the feeling of obstruction that had originally been caused by the conflict between her Mind-Cultivation Technique and sword Moves gradually disappeared.

Her swordsmanship became more and more proficient, and her Sword Qi became more and more powerful.

The first style of the Clear Shadow Swaying Sword!

The second style of the Clear Shadow Swaying Sword!

The third style of the Clear Shadow Swaying Sword!

Qin Zixuan took a deep breath, raised her sword, and then slashed fiercely.

The gust-like Sword Qi swept forward, her figure moving with the wind, slashing continuously.

Wherever it passed, trees as thick as buckets were broken in rows, leaves flew everywhere, and three sword strikes were slashed out in an instant.

After the gust of wind subsided, more than ten deep gullies appeared on the ground.

Her body followed the wind, and the Clear Shadow Swaying Sword reached Major Achievement.

Qin Dong stood aside, watching Qin Zixuan successfully execute the third style of the Clear Shadow Swaying Sword, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

He knew that the power of this Move was already enough to rival an ordinary Earth Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique.

"Not bad, you have already mastered the essence of this style."

Qin Dong said approvingly.

Qin Zixuan smiled, put the sword into her spatial ring, and looked at Qin Dong with undisguised attachment in her eyes.

"This is all thanks to you."

With tenderness like water, she stepped forward.

The two embraced, and feeling the warm, jade-like beauty in his arms, Qin Dong said gently:

"Zixuan, can you give me a break tonight?"

"No!"

Immediately after, the two could not avoid some verbal sparring.

Meanwhile, in the distance of the small woods, two Cloud Heaven Sect Disciples were suffering heavy critical hits; how could people live like this?

"Senior Brother Qi, what should we do?"

"With their strength, what if we are discovered?"

Yuwen Qian was on the verge of a breakdown; he was just an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.

He was originally cultivating normally, who knew that a Core Disciple would arrange for him to gather intelligence.

Arranging it was one thing, but that person also said that the person to be monitored was a Core Disciple addicted to seclusion.

A person who didn't leave the door much in a month.

What could be done?

There would be no good fruit if he didn't go to monitor, and there would be no good fruit if he was caught monitoring.

Gathering intelligence was one thing, but who would have thought that he wouldn't gather any useful intelligence, and instead, he would be subjected to heavy critical hits.

This broken spiritual peak actually had a pair of Dao Companions, both men and women with extraordinary looks and temperament.

That female Disciple could even be compared to the five newly promoted fairy-like beauties of the Cloud Heaven Sect.

Those were all goddess-level figures in the hearts of many male Disciples, with both talent and beauty.

How could the two of them not be envious?

I hate it!

"Continue to follow!"

The other Disciple, known as Senior Brother Qi, also felt very uncomfortable, but there was no way; they were just mere Inner Sect Disciples and could only obey.

After a bout of verbal sparring, Qin Dong and the other left the small woods.

Both of them had practiced the art of sword flight, so they immediately flew on their swords, and it didn't take long before they approached Tianjian City.

Tianjian City, the largest giant city near the Cloud Heaven Sect, had a resident population of nearly eight million, like a giant beast crouching on the earth.

Tonight the stars were in the sky, and the lights were bright.

The city was bustling with people, with heavy traffic, and from time to time, Cultivators walked on the streets, like a bright galaxy flowing in the city.

This place was close to the Cloud Heaven Sect of the Nine Sects in Donglin Prefecture, so Cultivators were not uncommon here, and the public security situation was also excellent.

This was only because there was an Elder of the Cloud Heaven Sect sitting in town, and a patrol team of Cloud Heaven Sect Disciples protecting it.

Therefore, the safety level here was like an impregnable fortress, making the common people and the coming and going Cultivators feel extra at ease.

With safety guaranteed, the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, enjoying this rare tranquility.

The two landed outside Tianjian City, noticing that their Taoist robes were indeed conspicuous.

Also, to avoid some unnecessary trouble, both of them changed into casual clothes and changed their appearances slightly.

Making themselves look more ordinary.

Stepping into Tianjian City, the aura of the Mortal world instantly rushed towards them.

On both sides of the street, dazzling goods were overwhelming.

Because this was a city where Mortals and Cultivators lived together, various types of Low Grade Magical Artifacts used in daily life could be seen everywhere.

Along the way, there were peddlers carrying loads, the voices of pedestrians talking, and the flute sounds of street performers that occasionally reached their ears.

The flow of people on the street was like weaving, and occasionally one could see a few well-dressed Cultivators passing by.

Most of them were talking to their companions and had no intention of being interested in the things passing by along the way.

"Hum."

Qin Dong and the other were also strolling casually in the street, but soon Qin Dong, who was holding Qin Zixuan's hand walking on the street, felt a trace of abnormality.

What's wrong?

Qin Dong was also a bit unclear, but once he thought that there was a Golden Core Realm Elder of his own Sect sitting in town here, he felt relieved and continued walking.

However, what Qin Dong didn't know was that between his eyebrows, an eye pattern lit up slightly for a moment.

...

The mini bronze eye lit up slightly; it was Li Jinian who appeared.

To be precise, it should be a Clone of Li Jinian.

Because Qin Dong was Li Jinian's gold-medal investment partner, he didn't want the other party to have any accidents, so he had to keep an eye on the other party's condition at all times.

However, the problem arose here.

Li Jinian couldn't keep an eye on it all the time, especially when the other party was discussing the topic of the great harmony of life; it was a bit disrespectful.

For this reason, Li Jinian specially divided a part of his Origin.

He derived a brand-new, emotionless spirit of the heavenly dao that was controlled by him.

And what is currently residing in the system space is precisely this spirit of the heavenly dao, only to complete a series of things set by Li Jinian.

[Information recording begins]

In the blink of an eye, with Qin Dong as the center, the information of items within a three-zhang radius was all recorded by the spirit of the heavenly dao.

While updating the System store, the spirit of the heavenly dao also released a new task by the way.

"Ding, Host has received a task: Visit the major prosperous areas of Tianjian City. Reward: One Earth Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique."

Qin Dong's tiger body shook; it had been three years.

The System finally released a task for him again.
