Warren's Rise and Fall

In the towering Qingxuan Sect, the great sect of immortal cultivation, the lively afterglow of the disciple-recruiting ceremony had not yet dissipated. Not long after Wang Lunwo returned to his quiet room, Yan Jinfan arrived as promised.

As soon as Yan Jinfan stepped into the room, his face was filled with excitement, and he was the first to speak: "Brother Wang, today's disciple-taking ceremony is really lively! The scene is crowded with people, and talented people from all sides gather together. It is worthy of being a grand event of a big sect like Qingxuan Sect."

Wang Lunwo nodded slightly and responded, "Who said it wasn't? I had only heard of it before, but after seeing it today, I really felt that the Qingxuan Sect has a profound foundation. It is even more magnificent than I imagined."

"Brother Wang, isn't this even better? It means that we can learn more and have greater opportunities in the sect in the future." Yan Jinfan said as he walked to the table, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for himself and Wang Lunwo, and then took a sip.

Wang Lunwo also picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "That's true, but today I heard them talking about how, in addition to the skills and techniques taught by their masters, if they want to obtain other skills, techniques, elixirs, and treasures, they need to exchange them in the Hall of Merit. The requirement for exchange is to complete the tasks of the Hall of Merit or make contributions to the sect, in order to obtain merit points to exchange for items in the Hall of Merit." After that, he picked up a piece of dessert on the table, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

"Brother Wang, this is great. We can accept missions freely, and we can form a team to complete the missions. Then some simple missions can be easily completed." Yan Jinfan's eyes lit up, and his thoughts were quite active, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene of obtaining many skills and treasures in the future.

"Friend Yan, what you said makes sense. It seems that we will be on a smooth road in the future. Come, let's have a go." Wang Lunwo raised his glass, his eyes revealing his expectations for the future.

Yan Jinfan also raised his glass, and the two smiled at each other and drank it all. After that, the two talked about some past events, recalling the hardships and interesting things on the road to cultivating immortals, sometimes sighing, sometimes laughing. Then they looked forward to a bright future, imagining the scene of successful cultivation in Qingxuan Sect and becoming famous. Finally, until late at night, Yan Jinfan left with a little drunkenness.

Wang Lunwo lay on his bed, eyes slightly closed, thinking about Yan Jinfan's suggestion. If he and Fellow Daoist Yan teamed up to complete the mission as Yan said, then the general mission should be a piece of cake, and exchanging skills, elixirs, spells, treasures, etc. would be a piece of cake. Thinking about it, he thought of his own cultivation goal, "It seems that it is entirely possible for me to break through to the Condensed Dan Realm in these seven years." He murmured to himself, "I don't know how Brother Changsun and Miss Sima are doing now." In the longing for the future and the longing for his friends, Wang Lunwo gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the house. Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan arrived at the Merit Hall early. Outside the Merit Hall, people were coming and going, and it was very lively. They were all disciples who came to accept tasks. The two of them stepped into the Merit Hall and went straight to the task wall. They carefully searched the densely packed task list to see if there was a task suitable for them.

There are a wide variety of tasks on the task wall. There is a missing person task of "looking for the immortal cultivator who disappeared in a certain valley", which describes in detail the characteristics of the missing person and the place where he last appeared; there is a task of "annihilating the bandits entrenched in a certain mountain", which indicates the number and approximate strength of the bandits; there is also a task of "dealing with the incident of monsters injuring people in a certain place", which also briefly introduces the types and habits of monsters.

Wang Lunwo watched intently, not missing any details. Finally, his eyes fell on this line of tasks. "Hunting down the defected disciple of the sect - Su Qingfeng", followed by the task introduction. "Su Qingfeng, a disciple of Qingxuan Sect, stole a technique of the sect, was discovered, and then defected from the sect. When he escaped, he was at the Qi Ji realm, and his current strength is unknown." Wang Lunwo looked at the date of the task release, and it had been almost half a year. He secretly calculated in his heart, "I think even if Su Qingfeng is extremely talented, he can only be at the Condensation Dan realm at most. Yan Jinfan and I should be able to take him down." It was mainly the technique of this task that attracted Wang Lunwo, and the task points were secondary, although the task points were also quite a lot of 2000 points.

Yan Jinfan followed Wang Lunwo's gaze and discovered the mission. He stared at the mission details for a while and soon formed his own opinion. He then whispered to Wang Lunwo, "Brother Wang, this Qi Ji Realm disciple actually has 2000 mission points. It seems that it is not as simple as it seems. And he is only a Qi Ji Realm disciple, so how could some elite disciples not catch him? Maybe this mission is not as simple as described."

Wang Lunwo lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, I have also thought about what you said. But what I am concerned about is the technique he took away. It can get 2000 points, so the difficulty of the task should be not low. I think some elite disciples have tried it, but they may not have found him. Maybe the other party's hiding method is more advanced, or he may be able to disguise himself, so the elite disciples did not find him. As for the other party's cultivation, even if he has reached the Condensation Pill Realm now, I think we can handle it with the two of us working together."

After listening to this, Yan Jinfan nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take this task."

"Okay." So Wang Lunwo took the task from the task wall without hesitation, and then walked to the registration office to register.

At this time, the Qingxuan Sect disciples nearby saw that they took on this task and started talking about it.

"No way, no way. Elite disciple Brother Liu Feng has also tried to hunt down Su Qingfeng before, but failed. These two are obviously new disciples, and they actually accepted this mission." A disciple said in surprise.

"Is he the elite disciple who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage before he was forty years old, Senior Brother Liu Feng?" asked another disciple.

"Yes, it seems that Senior Brother Liu has not found this person. I don't think these two people can complete this task." The previous disciple shook his head, looking pessimistic.

"Oh, I suggest you two stop worrying about other people's business. Just wait and see if these two can complete the task." A cheerful disciple said with a smile.

Although there were constant discussions around him, Wang Lunwo remained calm and was not affected by the remarks at all. He walked towards the registration desk with firm steps.

The elder in charge also heard the discussions around him, but he still took the task list, took a look at it, then looked up at Wang Lunwo and Yan Jinfan and said, "Are you sure you want to take this task? You know, someone else took this task before, and didn't complete it in the end." The elder in charge kindly reminded them, his eyes revealing a hint of worry for them.

Wang Lunwo said respectfully: "Thank you for the reminder, Elder. We are new here and we need points to exchange for the skills and treasures we need, so we plan to try this task." His eyes were full of firmness and determination.

"Okay, in that case, I'll register you." The elder in charge saw that the two had made up their minds, so he didn't say anything else. Instead, he picked up a pen and went through the formalities for the two. "If you haven't found this person for a long time, you can come to me to cancel the task, and I'll put the task list back on the task wall." The elder said as he registered.

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Elder." Wang Lunwo also understood the care that the elder in charge had for the new disciples, and a sense of gratitude welled up in his heart.

Wang Lunwo carefully put the task list into the storage bag, then turned and walked out of the Hall of Merit, followed closely by Yan Jinfan.
