Immortals Step into Heaven

Dan Daozi said slowly, my fellow disciples, although there are more tasks and more dangers now, there are also more opportunities.

In this turbulent situation, dangers and opportunities coexist. Completing tasks not only contributes to the sect, but also earns rich rewards and improves your own strength.

Perhaps in the process of carrying out the mission, you will encounter unexpected opportunities and break through the bottleneck.

Okay! Everyone, go away!

Dan Daozi gave the order and turned away, leaving the outer disciples in the square looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, everyone began to disperse.

Zhang Xueyue said softly, Junior Brother Zheng, fellow brothers, Junior Sister Liu and I will take our leave first.

After saying that, she and Senior Sister Liu Pingping nodded slightly, turned and left.

Liu Pingping turned around and shouted to Zheng Yuan, "Junior Brother Zheng, it's dangerous outside now, you have to be careful. I want to eat your roasted lamb in the future!"

Zheng Yuan looked at Senior Sister Liu and nodded with a smile, thinking to himself, it’s already this late, and you’re still thinking about roasting lamb!

Zhang Jiwei and Jiang Yiyun also said goodbye with serious expressions.

Junior Brother Zheng, do you want to come over to my place and sit for a while? Xu Wen said with a chuckle.

Hearing Xu Wen's words, Zheng Yuan felt extremely disgusted, but still smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu. This incident happened suddenly and I have to make more preparations, so I can't accompany you."

Xu Wen smiled and said, since you still have something to do, I won’t force you. I’ll leave first.

Watching Xu Wen leave, he thought to himself that if this person didn't die and broke through the foundation-building stage in the future, he would be in danger.

"Brother Zheng, it's been a year since we last met!" Duan Peng said with a smile as he came to Zheng Yuan.

Seeing Duan Peng, Zheng Yuan put his thoughts aside and said with a smile, "Yes, it's been a year since we last met. Junior Brother Duan has also broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Duan Peng smiled innocently and said that the reason why his junior brother was able to break through the seventh level of Qi Refining so quickly was thanks to the elixir sent by Senior Brother Zheng. If it weren't for the elixir sent by Senior Brother Zheng, his junior brother would not have been able to break through the seventh level of Qi Refining so quickly.

Zheng Yuan looked at Duan Peng and smiled, "Junior Brother Duan, which valley in the sect are you practicing in now?"

Zheng Yuan cursed in his heart, "Do you think I'm stupid? Don't you know how many spirit stones I spent to break through the seventh level of Qi Refining?"

You kid, you're pretending here. But Zheng Yuan would not show it. Every cultivator has his own secrets and opportunities. Zheng Yuan did not take Duan Peng's concealment to heart.

Duan Peng said with a smile, Senior Brother Zheng, I can earn some spirit stones by planting spiritual herbs for people in the Spiritual Medicine Valley.

After separating from Duan Peng, Zheng Yuan returned to Danhuo Pavilion.

A few days later, Zheng Yuan arrived at the Mission Hall. The moment he stepped into the Mission Hall, he was shocked by the rows of mission catalogs before him. Usually, there were only a dozen or so missions in the catalog, but now there were so many.

He carefully examined the tasks and discovered that most of them involved either finding someone or hunting someone down. Furthermore, the rewards for these tasks were extremely high, with many paying 400 or 500 contribution points.

Zheng Yuan couldn't help but speculate in his heart that it seemed that the sect had lost a lot of disciples outside during this period of time, so they issued so many hunting orders.

Zheng Yuan's eyes moved slowly across the densely packed task list, and suddenly, a task of guarding a spirit stone mine in a barren mountain caught his eye.

He took a closer look and realized that he would only be assigned to guard the Spirit Stone Mine for a month, yet he would receive 30 Contribution Points. This made him puzzled, as in the past, such missions to guard Spirit Stone Mine usually lasted for more than a year.

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly, lost in thought. He pondered to himself, "It seems the sect has some considerations. Perhaps they've discovered someone is hiding in the mines for extended periods, using the excuse of guarding the spirit stone mine as a pretext to avoid other matters."

The sect's move clearly shows that they don't want this situation to happen again.

Zheng Yuan chose the task of guarding the spirit stone mine without any hesitation.

To him, this mission, while seemingly ordinary, was safe. Thirty contribution points might not mean much to him right now, but even a small amount of money was still meat. Perhaps he could even get something good out of the Spirit Stone Mine. And a month wouldn't prevent him from accepting the other four missions.

After choosing the mission, Zheng Yuan learned that he could not set off until tomorrow.

This mission was led by a senior master who had reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage, replacing another team guarding the mine. After leaving the mission hall, Zheng Yuan returned to Danhuo Pavilion to practice.

The next day, Zheng Yuan arrived at the side hall of the mission hall at the time of the mission departure. He saw Zhang Jiwei and Jiang Yiyun, as well as Chu Xiong. Zheng Yuan did not expect to meet this guy. There was also someone sitting with him who was at the thirteenth level of Qi training. It should be his brother Chu Tianqiao.

Chu Xiong felt that Zheng Yuan looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. There were too many menial disciples who had collected protection fees from him.

Zheng Yuan smiled and walked quickly forward, shouting to the two people in front of him, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Jiang, I never thought I would meet you here!"

Senior Brother Zhang turned around at the sound, a kind smile immediately appearing on his face. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He said, "Junior Brother Zheng Yuan, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. Did you also accept the mission of guarding the spirit stone mine?"

Senior Brother Jiang also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Junior Brother Zheng, it seems that we are quite destined to meet."

Zheng Yuan smiled and quickly responded. "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Jiang, I've also taken on the task of guarding the spirit stone mine. It's truly an honor for me to carry out this mission alongside you, Senior Brothers."

A moment later, a middle-aged monk in a dark blue robe slowly appeared at the side hall's entrance. He stood tall and straight, with a stern expression and a look of majesty in his eyes that instilled awe in everyone.

Zhang Jiwei and Jiang Yiyun were the first to react. Their expressions froze, and they quickly stood up, clasped their hands together, and said respectfully, "Disciple greets Uncle Liu."

Seeing this, Zheng Yuan and others followed closely, quickly stood up, saluted, and said in unison, "Disciples pay their respects to Uncle Liu."

Liu Shi glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said, "Follow me!" His voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty. Everyone agreed in unison and followed Liu Shi out of the mission hall.

Arriving at the open space outside the hall, Liu Shi calmly summoned a magical flying knife. Inspired by his magical power, the flying knife instantly shone brightly, expanding in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it grew to a length of ten feet, hovering in front of everyone, emitting a powerful aura.

Liu Shi lightly jumped onto the flying knife, and then signaled Zheng Yuan and others to follow. Everyone stepped onto the flying knife one by one, and after they stood firmly, Liu Shi pinched his hands together, and the flying knife suddenly soared into the sky.

As the flying knife flew at breakneck speed, everyone could only hear the whistling of the wind and the scenery rapidly receding. A day later, they finally arrived at the Desolate Mountain Spirit Mine. This place was close to the Monster Mountain Range.

The spiritual mine is surrounded by formations with flickering light, which is obviously set up to resist external enemies and prevent the leakage of spiritual energy.
