God Destroying Pearl

After leaving Hualongchi, Song Yun returned to the familiar Zhaixing Peak.

Song Yun saw Sikong Luo sitting on a huge rock at the top of the mountain, holding an ancient book in his hand, and seemed to be studying something.

However, when Song Yun's figure appeared in his sight, a smile immediately appeared on Sikong Luo's face.

"Yun'er, you're back." Sikong Luo put down the book in his hand and stood up.

Song Yun hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master."

Then he talked about his experiences and gains in the Dragon Pond, and his breakthrough to the peak of the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

After hearing this, Sikong Luo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

So, he patted Song Yun on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Yun'er, you really didn't disappoint me. Remember, the road of cultivation is endless. Only by constantly challenging yourself can you climb to a higher level."

After saying that, Sikong Luo took out a jade bottle from his bosom, handed it to Song Yun, and said: "This is a medium-grade foundation-building pill that your master found especially for you. It can increase your chances of breaking through to the foundation-building stage at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Please accept it and practice well."

In the vast world of immortal cultivation, building the foundation is the realm that every cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage dreams of.

The Foundation Building Pill, which brings together the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and rare medicinal materials, can greatly enhance the purity of the spiritual power in the cultivator's body, consolidate the foundation, help them successfully break through the bottleneck, break free from the shackles of the Qi Refining Period, and step into the vast world of the Foundation Building Period.

It is said that among the thousands of legends in the world of cultivating immortals, there are always a few geniuses who, without the help of external objects, can understand the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, stimulate the boiling of spiritual power in their bodies, and successfully build their own foundations with just their extraordinary understanding and unremitting efforts.

Of course, such monks are extremely rare.

Song Yun took the foundation-building pill and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

At the same time, he knelt on the ground and said to Sikong Luo gratefully: "Thank you for your generous gift, Master! I will live up to your expectations and continue to practice hard to succeed in building my foundation as soon as possible!"

"Yun'er," Sikong Luo's voice was deep and magnetic, "You have been in the sect for more than five months. During this time, not only have you improved your cultivation, but you have also grown greatly in your character. According to the sect's unchanging rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, every new disciple must accept a sect trial task within two to three months after the newcomer competition. This is not only a test of your cultivation, but also a test of your mind and will."

"Song Yun, the path of cultivation is not achieved in a day, nor can it be accomplished in isolation."

"To become strong, one needs to have a strong state of mind. And the tempering of one's state of mind often comes from trials and challenges from the outside world." Sikong Luo said slowly, his tone revealing an indescribable deep meaning, "You have been practicing hard, and your diligence is commendable, but you must also remember that practice requires a natural and gradual progress. Sometimes, going out for a walk and experiencing some ups and downs can make your state of mind more resilient and your practice more stable."

Hearing this, Song Yun's mind suddenly became clear, as if he had a glimmer of enlightenment.

Song Yun looked up at Sikong Luo, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Disciple understands, thank you Master for your guidance. Disciple will go to the Mission Hall later to receive the trial mission, go out for training, and hone my mind."

Not long after, Song Yun left Zhaixing Peak and went to the sect's mission hall.

The moment he stepped into the mission hall, Song Yun could feel the strong atmosphere of the sect coming towards him. This was the hub where the sect's internal and external affairs converged. The issuance and receipt of each mission was related to the sect's peace and glory.

Song Yun straightened his clothes, took a step forward, and respectfully reported his purpose to the head of the Mission Hall.

The hall master was a middle-aged man with a dignified yet kind face. He stroked his beard gently, his eyes stayed on Song Yun for a moment, then he turned and walked to the bookshelf behind him, which was filled with various mission files, each carrying different missions and challenges.

"Oh, you are here to receive the trial mission. Your cultivation level is at the peak of the eleventh level of Qi Refining." The hall master's voice was steady and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty. "It just so happens that I have a rather difficult mission here, which may be suitable for you."

As he spoke, the hall master pulled out a volume from the bookshelf, unfolded it gently, quickly scanned the text on it, and then turned to Song Yun, his expression becoming serious: "Recently, bandits have been causing chaos within the jurisdiction of our affiliated sect, the Diling Sect. These bandits not only robbed the people, but also wantonly destroyed and devastated the local people. According to reports from the Diling Sect, there seem to be masters in the foundation-building stage among these bandits, and the elder with the highest cultivation level in their sect is currently only in the early stage of foundation-building and is currently practicing in seclusion, so he cannot personally take action to quell the chaos."

"Therefore, the leader of the Di Ling Sect specifically asked us for help, hoping that we could send capable disciples to assist and quell this disaster." The hall master paused here, and his eyes fell on Song Yun again, as if evaluating his ability.

The hall master looked at Song Yun for a few times, with a little more admonition and expectation in his tone, and continued:

"Song Yun, when you go to Diling Sect, your first task is to find out the true situation of the bandits, especially to confirm whether there are really bandits in the foundation-building stage as reported by Diling Sect. This is related to the deployment and strategy of our subsequent actions, so you must be careful and not be careless."

The hall master paused for a moment, his eyes becoming more profound. "Remember, intelligence is the eyes of action. After confirming the accuracy of the intelligence, you must not act without authorization, especially when facing a strong enemy like the Foundation Establishment Stage bandits. You may fall into danger if you are not careful. What you need to do is to immediately report your findings through the sect's unique communication method, and then patiently wait for the sect's further instructions."

"The sect has a complete response mechanism and will formulate the most appropriate action plan based on the intelligence you provide. Your task is to remain highly alert and calm during this process and be ready to execute the orders issued by the sect at any time."

At this point, the hall master gently patted Song Yun on the shoulder and continued, "I believe that with your ability and wisdom, you will be able to successfully complete this mission. The glory of the sect and the peace of the people depend on you."

Song Yun looked up into the distance, his eyes gleaming with determination, and made a solemn promise to the hall master:

"I will definitely live up to your expectations, find out the truth as quickly as possible, and report the information accurately to the sect. I will never act rashly before the sect's instructions are given."

Afterwards, the leader of the Mission Hall planned a detailed route of action for Song Yun and provided him with necessary intelligence support and protective magic weapons.

Song Yun memorized them all in his mind, and after making sufficient preparations, he embarked on the journey to the vassal sect, the Diling Sect.
