"A mission of death?" Meng Qi's relaxed expression immediately tensed up again, for a task that could reveal the timing of the next reincarnation cycle to the master of the six paths of reincarnation was no easy feat. Everyone would have to face the danger of death.

  The master of the six paths reincarnation did not describe further but said emotionlessly:

  "Task evaluation, Ge Huaiwen 'ordinary', no extra reward, Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenshen, Ruan Yushu, Luo Shengyi 'medium', each person rewarded with 50 good deeds, Jiang Zhiwei, Qi Zhengyan, Zhen Ding 'good', each person rewarded with 100 good deeds, and got a chance to draw a sign, the scope of drawing signs includes all things below the outdoor scene."

  Meng Qi slightly furrowed his brow, and it turned out to be just good, not excellent. His hope of getting the reincarnation symbol was dashed, but thinking about it, he hadn't exceeded the main and branch task ranges set by the six reincarnations master this time, nor had he explored extra.

  The light pillar disappeared, and everyone looked at each other, still immersed in the shock brought by the death mission.

  "Lao Luo, do you know about the death task?" Meng Qi asked Luo Shengyi, who had the richest experience in reincarnation.

  Lu Shengyi's face twisted slightly as if recalling an unpleasant memory: "After the fourth awakening, our team's overall strength reached a limit and we started the death mission. That time, we had to survive for seven days under the pursuit of a powerful external expert. As a result, only three people were left in our team, and my two seniors, who were several times stronger than me, fell under that expert's sword. I managed to hold on until our return thanks to good luck."

  "After that, I cooperated with other teams several times and heard about many death missions. Some were being chased to death, some were abandoned in a desperate situation, and some were against the forces of several half-step outsiders. It's said that if you survive a death mission and your team still has half its strength left, the difficulty and rewards of the reincarnation world will increase, and you may even come into contact with some ancient ruins."

  Meng Qi smiled wryly and said, "Sounds like it's going to be tough this time, we'll have to use up every last bit of good karma."

  He took a glance at Zhang Yuanshan and Fu Zhentian, saw that they were close together, with no estrangement between them, and immediately felt relieved.

  Being stared at by him, Fu Zhēnzhēn immediately blushed and lowered her head, her hair was intact and undamaged, apparently it had been repaired just now with good deeds. Zhang Yuanshan nodded his head in gratitude.

  I'm so envious...... Meng Qi looked at Fu Zhenzhen's hair and thought, but it was just a thought. Every bit of spiritual energy he had was precious, where would he spare to repair his hair? Anyway, it would grow naturally.

  I'm just such a stingy person!

  A sign tube appeared and fell in front of Qi Zhengyan, who was still immersed in the difficulties of his death mission. He picked it up expressionlessly and shook it. His luck was very poor, and he got two bottles of ordinary healing potions.

  Jiang Zhiwei's face remained unchanged, smiling as she glanced at Meng Qi's short hair. With a forceful shake, the light and shadows rotated, revealing a series of items: ancient tomes, sharp weapons, medicinal pellets, and strange objects, before finally stopping on a delicate mask as thin as a cicada's wing.

  "Easy-to-remove mask?" Meng Qi asked with great interest.

  "Uh-huh." Jiang Zhiwei picked up the mask and said, "The master of the Six Paths' Wheel of Rebirth can lend his human skin mask to others, unfortunately it's a woman's, you won't be able to use it. Why don't I introduce these two people?"

  She pointed at Ruan Yushu and Ge Huaien.

  "Ruan Yushu, daughter of the master of the Langya Ruan family, Ge Huaien, a Confucian scholar..." Meng Qi introduced them briefly on both sides.

  Jiang Zhi smiled lightly and said, "I've long heard that Yu Shu's musical talents are exceptional, with a promising future in cultivating the 'Twelve Heavenly Music' and 'Shattering Heaven and Earth Melody', I didn't expect to meet you here today."

  Ruan Yushu calmly returned the courtesy: "Sister Jiang from the Jiang family was able to enter the top ten of the people's list as soon as she entered the Jianghu, and I am very admiring."

  This guy is so polite to others, but not to me! Meng Qi muttered to himself, picked up the sign tube, shook it a few times, and looked at the swirling patterns inside with anticipation.

  He has knife methods and sword methods in front of him, and he also has the "Undying Seal Method" on his body, which can replace the "Fantasy Shape Great Method" as a divine-level auxiliary. There are no external objects here, so I especially look forward to things like elixirs, hidden weapons, poisons, and strange objects.

  Unfortunately, heaven did not grant his wish, and what appeared before his eyes were two hundred good deeds.

  "It's okay, at least it can be used, unlike other things that can't be exchanged for good deeds." Meng Qi thought without much disappointment.

  "He turned his head and smiled at the crowd: 'I don't know what everyone has gained this time, but with the death task imminent, we must work together to get through it.'"

  Due to the pressure of the death mission and being roughly familiar with Luo Shengyi, Meng Qi decided to bring him into the circle. As newcomers, Ruan Yushu and Ge Huaien had simple backgrounds and experiences, and people like Jiang Zhimiao who were inclined towards the righteous path would naturally accept them.

  Jiang Zhiwei said with a majestic tone: "This time, my solo mission had some unexpected encounters. Coupled with the tempering from my previous cloud travels, I have opened up my aperture and formed the initial stage of the inner world. I have grasped the external sword technique 'Striking the Cang Hai' which is an extension of the 'Sword Emerging Without Me' transformation."

  This is a sword move recorded in the "Taishang Jianjing", derived from one of the nine major killing moves, "Sword Out of Nothingness". Being able to master it indicates that Jiang Zhiwei has made further progress in "Sword Out of Nothingness" and has gained some insights.

  As they spoke, she glanced at Meng Qi's evil fate and nodded slightly, throwing the two sharp knives and three secret books into the central light column: "Adding them to the rewards just now, I have a total of 1,670 good deeds. I plan to exchange for 'Yi Jian Technique', Shaolin Dahuan Dan and two Bai Cao Dan."

  She had run out of her own Baicao Dan, and was traveling outside, making it difficult to return to the mountain to retrieve more. The Dahuan Dan, on the other hand, was a life-saving medicine for the opening period of the Shaolin Temple in the mortal world. Although it couldn't bring people back from the dead or regrow severed limbs, after taking it, most internal and external injuries could be healed within an hour. Even Meng Qi's Golden Bell Shield, which would take days to recover from a broken defense, could be restored within a day.

  "Yi Jian Shu" 920 good deeds, "Da Huan Dan" 500 good deeds, two "Bai Cao Dan" totaling 200, Jiang Zhiwei had almost spent all his good deeds, leaving only 50.

  "This exchange is a bit strange..." Meng Qi said bluntly, being most familiar with Jiang Zhiwei.

  "'Yi Jian Shu' was something I had been eyeing before, and it's an aspect that Master told me to strengthen my cultivation in. Just now, after hearing the death mission, I planned to exchange for Da Huan Dan and Bai Cao Dan, but not Tian Shi Di Ting Wan, because there is still a year left, I plan to try my sword against strong enemies, open up the eighth acupoint by myself, and don't leave any room for retreat or hope. Thinking of relying on elixirs." Jiang Zhiwei's expression was firm and decisive, her sword guest demeanor fully displayed, bright and unparalleled.

  Since they were going to sharpen their skills and test their swords against strong enemies without leaving any room for retreat, the healing medicine was indispensable, so Jiang Zhiwei exchanged for Da Huan Dan and two Bai Cao Dan.

  Zhang Yuanshan and Luo Shengyi looked at Jiang Zhimicro and felt that she was radiant, making them feel a little ashamed of themselves.

  Regarding Jiang Zhiwei's choice, Meng Qi deeply admired it and didn't say much, instead asking: "What aspect of cultivation did Senior Su instruct you to strengthen?"

  He obtained "Dugu's Nine Swords" and Sword Emperor's guidance, his swordsmanship is considered excellent, and he is particularly interested in the reminders of "Tianwai Shengjian" Su Wuming.

  "My master said that I've grasped the essence of advancing from complexity to simplicity, but I'm lacking in adaptability and tend to be overly aggressive in my attacks. That's why he wants me to temper myself by reversing the process." Jiang Zixue didn't hide anything.

  She grasped the concept of "sword without self", differing from others, and from the start slightly grasped the principles of the law. Each move and style excelled in momentum, sharpness, speed and power, secretly conforming to the unchanging rules of swordsmanship, directly cutting through the opponent's weakness, using force to break cleverness, simplicity to strike complexity, and swiftness to win slowness. This can be seen from her self-created Yan Luo Tie, purely condensed, dead energy scattered, slightly containing the principles of the law, momentum stunning the heart, advancing without retreating.

  Although her moves were more varied than most of the same level, they didn't quite match her own swordsmanship realm. So Su Wuming let her start with a simple and unchanging rule, gradually increasing complexity to make up for the deficiency. Thus she took an interest in "Yi Jian Technique" alongside Dugu Jiu Jian.

  Meng Qi hummed softly: "In the previous cycle of reincarnation, I also got a senior fellow to point out these principles, but he emphasized being self-centered".

  He roughly repeated what Jian Huang had said.

  Jiang Zhi said thoughtfully: "It's similar to what Master told me, but isn't it true that different sword techniques have the same origin?"

  This question is beyond both of their understanding and they can't answer it, so they just gave up.

  Jiang Zhiwei exchanged for "Yi Jian Shu" and three elixirs, then turned to ask Meng Qi: "What about your gains? What do you plan to exchange?"

  "I gained a lot, at least over 2,000, but consumed one Thunder Mark." Meng Qi said. His powerful artifact and secret recipe had not been exchanged for Good Deeds yet, so he didn't know the exact amount, but just the rewards from the main and side quests were already 1,150 Good Deeds. Adding to what was left over before, it was a total of 1,171.

  Lei Yin is an external technique, using it once is equivalent to consuming about a thousand good deeds, so Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei are actually similar.

  He continued, "This time's mission also had a strange encounter. The sixth pass of the Golden Bell Shield was resolved perfectly, my nasal passages opened up, and both my swordsmanship and knife skills have improved. There are also the 'Undying Seal' reward from the mission and the collected sharp longsword, Hundred Refinements Soldier, and secret manual."

  Meng Qi thought for a moment, then calmly took out the black mysterious paper left behind by Mo Xun and spread it out for everyone to see: "I obtained this during this mission, it's what Mo Xun left behind..."

  He recounted the story of Mo Zun, and then described the scene he saw with Ah Nan - under the pretext that when he first obtained the true intention inheritance, "he saw" it. Zhang Yuanshan, Luo Shengyi and others furrowed their brows, wondering how a great power from the ancient times could still be alive? And still reincarnating? What was the connection between the world of reincarnation and the secrets of the ancient times?

  This matter was too strange, making them sweat in their palms and emit cold air. Even Jiang Zhiwei, who was used to being calm and composed, and Ruan Yushu, who was normally cool and collected, couldn't help but look puzzled.

  "It's rumored that Ananda has passed away in the mountains behind Shaolin Temple..." Jiang Zhiwei suddenly said.

  Meng Qi thought of the forbidden area behind the mountain and the words "Benevolence, righteousness, kindness, and goodness, do not enter this door", his heart skipped a beat, unsure of what to say.

  After discussing for a while, they didn't gain anything and had to put it aside temporarily.

  "So, I'll have to use the Arduous Breaking Blade Technique less often and exchange it for another External Scenery Blade Technique. I have the Thunder Mark Seal, which belongs to the 'Purple Thunder Seven Strikes'." Meng Qi said in a low voice, taking out his long sword and secret book, ready to throw them into the central light pillar.

  "Wait a minute." Zhen Zhen stopped him and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I'd like to exchange my Long Sword for a better one. If you have something suitable, it would be more cost-effective to buy from you than to trade with the Six Paths' Master."
