Chapter 61: Sect Mission

  In the blink of an eye, Bai Qi had been cultivating in Yinze for over two years. Zi Mei Zhenren was generous with his elixirs and refined Bai Qi's body every day, teaching him Daoist techniques.

  Niè lín qiāng yì zhí wěn dì de tūn shì tiān dì yuán qì, jiù lián zǐ méi zhēn rén dōu méi kàn chū yǒu shén me bù tuǒ. Bái qǐ jiù zhè yàng xùn sù de jiāng jiè bá gāo dào le huà shén chū qī.

  His starting point is quite high. To know, the cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage are considered to be true Qi Refiners, who can fly in the air and live for thousands of years. People with medium to high aptitude want to become a cultivator of the Core Formation stage, also need to cultivate for hundreds of years. Wanting to advance to the Nascent Soul stage requires an extremely great opportunity.

  Bai Qi was born with a rare gift, his body had been transformed by the Rain Bell Chime, and his innate talent was already considered excellent among cultivators. Now, with the help of the Inverse Scale Spear, he could convert all his primordial energy into a mysterious cyan-golden aura, and his cultivation speed was so fast that it made Zi Mei True Person extremely delighted.

  It's quite difficult for him to continue suppressing his realm, and unexpectedly, he can still receive such an excellent disciple before becoming an immortal.

  At this time, Bai Qi's Qing Lei True Solution had already been cultivated for six chapters.

  Bai Qi obtained the fifth Symbolic Seed, which was a cluster of cyan lightning. This cluster of lightning automatically merged into his Sword Embryo Seed, where six clusters of demonic flames wrapped around it, with one cyan and one purple, two clusters of lightning flashing alternately. It wasn't until now that Bai Qi combined this Sword Embryo Seed with the Eternal Night Sword Pill.

  Yongye Jianwan immediately turned into a black fireball, and the six Dao Youhuo all turned into pure black, floating outside Jianwan, also leaving the Huozhong Qinglian's Fu Luoshu seed, entering Baiqi's Upper Dantian.

  Bai Qi was overjoyed, although he still couldn't activate the Eternal Night Sword Pill, he could use the Six Yang Rushing Thunder Sword's sword intent to extract the sword intent from the demon sword pill and attach it to the Moon Wheel Sword Pill.

  This Moon Wheel Sword Pill is just a precious sword, Bai Qi merged twenty-four sword pills together, transforming into a wheel of sword light that was several meters in size, barely considered to be an inferior magic weapon.

  This is a clever trick of the Qi Refiner, but Bai Qi didn't have any magical soldiers on hand, so he could only use the Moon Wheel Sword Pellet as a substitute.

  The Moon Wheel Sword Pills, if split into twenty-four smaller sword pills, would be unable to withstand the Six Yang Rushing Thunder Sword's sword intent. At this time, Bai Qi could only use the Cover Rain Sword's sword technique to counter his enemy.

  After entering the initial stage of Huashen, Bai Qi discovered that the speed at which the Inverse Scale Spear absorbed and spewed out the primordial energy of heaven and earth could no longer keep up with his needs. It was not that the Inverse Scale Spear's ability was insufficient, but rather that once the Inverse Scale Spear fully absorbed and spewed out the primordial energy of heaven and earth, this hidden lake would dry up, and at that time, everyone would know that he had obtained a terrifying object on his body.

  With the Six Yang Thunder Sword technique, Bai Qi can ride the sword light to fly, unfortunately this method cannot last long, but within a short distance it surpasses Lei Yin.

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren learned a lot, but Bai Qi had his own technique of riding the wind, and he even demonstrated it to Zi Mei Zhen Ren. As a result, Zi Mei Zhen Ren only taught Bai Qi the water escape technique.

  This water escape technique is a Taoist method from the Divine Continent, and its flying speed is not as fast as Bai Qi's Riding Wind Technique. However, when it comes to escaping in the water, its speed is more than ten times faster. It's even faster than Bai Qi's sword flight, and the endurance of driving the water escape is the longest.

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren also knew that this way of passing on the technique but not the method had some meaning to it, like helping a sprout grow by pulling it up. However, he only saw Bai Qi advancing to the Immortal rank and wanted him to have more capital for struggle in the shortest time possible.

  The Tao cultivates the Tao, and one must first have the Tao before they can cultivate techniques. However, without techniques to protect oneself, one will die and their Tao will disappear.

  Bai Qi didn't mind, he had the Qing Lei True Manual, and could cultivate on his own. As long as there were enough classics to make himself understand the terms in the Qing Lei True Manual. After entering the initial stage of Hua Shen, the seventh chapter of the Qing Lei True Manual could already be started, but Bai Qi felt that he was still wandering outside the door, the Taoist techniques of the Green Emperor seemed to be shrouded in mist, making it impossible to grasp.

  Bai Qi knew that this was because his own realm was unstable. If his realm were stable, the seventh Dao Fa would suddenly become clear, and he should also be able to see the eighth one at the same time.

  No wonder the disciples of the Dà Mén Pài, even with abundant resources within the sect, still have to venture out into the world at the Huà Shén stage. It's to immerse themselves in worldly affairs, comprehend the Heavenly Way, and solidify their cultivation realm.

  On this day, while he was practicing his sword skills, Zi Mei True Person summoned him and Zi Hong. The two of them arrived at Zi Mei True Person's alchemy room, where Zi Mei True Person said: "Zi Hong, Qing Ming, the two of you are going down the mountain."

  Bai Qi was under the wing of Zimei True Person, and everything in the sect could be neglected, focusing on cultivation. However, he didn't forget to keep an ear out for news from Zhongzhou at all times. The old nest of Chujing Wang upstream of the Chu River was something he had been thinking about all along. It was close to Qingcheng, and he feared that if he went too late, it would be occupied by the people of Qingcheng.

  However, Qingcheng never expanded its power out of Shu, seemingly unwilling to expand the sect's control range again.

  "Zi Hong, Qing Yu, this is the sect's spiritual symbol I've brought for you. Your mission is to go with Su Shibo's disciples to Chu Jiang, starting from downstream and heading upstream, destroying all the Chu Wang temples along the way. Ten true transmission disciples have been arranged by the sect, plus a hundred inner sect disciples will be going as well. The danger level isn't high, but you still need to be cautious."

  Bai Qi and Zi Hong took over the two jade tokens. Zǐ Méi True Person said, "The Night Emperor's power has not continued to expand, but according to the outer sect elder, many sects have been infiltrated by that Night Emperor. In fact, the scope of control under the Night Emperor is now twice as large as it was in the past two years. Along the way, be careful of the Night Emperor's people."

  "Teacher, how do we distinguish?"

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren smiled and said: "The person who is unfavorable to you is under Ye Di's command."

  Bai Qi suddenly understood that this was his master letting him take charge and do things on his own, with the sect supporting him from behind.

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren said, "This time's action, the Men Zhong elder is not convenient to take action, only one Jin Dan elder from the outer gate followed, so I have prepared some talismans for you, in case of emergency."

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren said, first taking out two gourds. These two red gourds contained the Dao-level elixir he had personally refined - Zi Yang Lian Shen Dan. He usually treasured this elixir, and even a Golden Elixir cultivator who suffered severe injuries would recover after consuming one pill. However, as he was about to enter the blessed land for cultivation, he gave all of his Zi Yang Lian Shen Dan to his two disciples. These two gourds of elixirs could absolutely be exchanged for piles and piles of Dao artifacts.

  Bai Qi took the gourd and swallowed it directly into his abdomen. His demonic space could hold too many things now. Especially for elixirs, sending them into the demonic space allowed him to use them directly without having to take them out again. Zi Hong was not a demon, so she could only store the elixir in a silver bangle on her wrist.

  These two calabashes are already Taoist instruments themselves, because of their simple structure, only Bai Qi and Zi Hong can use them.

  Then there was one person with twelve jade bottles, and the elixirs inside the jade bottles were all of a superior grade.

  The Xian Tao Fa Bao has four levels, and the elixirs of this level are also precious, which can be used by cultivators in the Huashen period. Bai Qi had also studied the way of alchemy for two years, although he couldn't refine pills himself, but he could already distinguish them in detail. In the future, at least when going out, Bai Qi would definitely not be deceived in this aspect.

  The value of these elixirs is also clear to Bai Qi. With these elixirs by his side, even if something unexpected happens this time, he can still get through it safely.

  After taking the elixir, then comes the talisman.

  Talismans and amulets are different. Talismans are basically one-time use items, while amulets can be reused multiple times, with their effectiveness increasing exponentially.

  Bai Qi had already received the scroll, inside the Purple Heaven Fox Seal of the Ninth Heaven, there was the life's learning of Zimei True Person. After Bai Qi reached the Golden Elixir realm, he could comprehend it by himself. However, this time, Zimei True Person gave them a combat-use scroll.

  The wooden ruler obtained by Bai Qi was a wooden box over one foot long and nearly four inches wide, which could be unfolded into a square shape. One side had a pattern of stars, while the other side was carved with this chessboard.

  "This is the Starry Sky Chess Manual, a common thing in our school, but its power is not small. Qing Ling, before you leave Yun Meng Zong, you must familiarize yourself with this thing."

  Then Zi Mei Zhen gave Zi Hong a Dao Fa, Bai Qi couldn't see what it was and didn't pay attention. Receiving the Fa and transmitting the symbol are different, each Fa is not exactly the same, with varying uses. But symbols are all the same thing, with only minor differences.

  The transmission is secret, and the reception is direct.

  Afterwards, Zǐ Méi True Person took out two thick stacks of talismans. One stack was made of paper and the other was made of wood. These were actually manufactured by the disciples of the sect during their practice, and would only be distributed when there was a task to be carried out. Since Zǐ Méi True Person had taken many, no one dared to say anything, which benefited Bái Qǐ and Zǐ Hóng.

  After finishing these things, Zimei True Person solemnly took out two jade tokens and presented them to Bai Qi and Zi Hong.

  "Qingyuan, your jade symbol contains the sword energy of three six-yang thunder swords. At a critical moment of life and death, it can be triggered to unleash an attack equivalent to my full strength. Zihong, your jade symbol has the sword energy of three lihuo mingxin swords, with power similar to Qingyuan's. Originally, this thing would hinder your cultivation and shouldn't have been given to you, but since Qingyuan's Dao method is just beginning to take shape, I fear that you might encounter danger. If it's not necessary, don't use it." Ziyu True Person said, his tone severe.

  Bai Qi and Zi Hong were solemn, wanting to know that although the sword technique was passed down by Purple Eyebrow True Man, both of them would cultivate their own unique things in the end. The sword energy of Purple Eyebrow True Man, after being triggered, would definitely have an impact on future achievements. Both of them even needed to spend a lot of time erasing the sword intent engraved on their divine soul, before they could embark on their own cultivation path.

  Of course, for the small sects and schools, this jade symbol is a treasure. Anyway, some cultivators will not achieve the accomplishments of Zi Mei Zhen Ren in their lifetime, being able to obtain Zi Mei Zhen Ren's sword intent is already a great opportunity.

  Zi Mei Zhen Ren said so, but still had some misgivings. He took out two more leather pouches and handed them to the two of them, saying: "This is Yu Qing Shen Lei. If you encounter a Golden Elixir cultivator who won't let you off, and you can't release your sword energy, then throw this."

  Bai Qi and Zi Hong stared at each other, this Yu Qing Shen Lei was something that only a true immortal could collect. It seemed that the sect's mission this time was not simple. With a Golden Elixir cultivator presiding over it, even Ziyu Xianren was cautious, fearing that one of them would suffer losses.
