Mythical Cultivation

It was said that several outer disciples had actually caused Liu Qingquan, an inner disciple, to stumble and suffer a great loss. This matter was widely spread among the inner disciples. You know, inner disciples have always bullied outer disciples, so it was unheard of for outer disciples to cause inner disciples to suffer losses like this!

"Brother, please excuse me. We were truly cornered under those circumstances and had no other options. Besides, with our limited abilities, how could we truly cause harm to an inner sect disciple?" Wu Ming's expression was slightly tense, his words tinged with caution. When he heard this fellow, Xiao Changfeng, bring up that matter, Wu Ming couldn't help but wonder: Could he be close friends with Liu Qingquan? Thinking of this, Wu Ming had already made up his mind. If they were indeed close, he'd better leave Baiye County as soon as possible. Otherwise, if an inner sect disciple deliberately made things difficult for him, he'd be left with nothing to turn to.

"Junior Brother Wu, please don't misunderstand me. I have absolutely nothing to do with Liu Qingquan, so there's no need to be so nervous.

Okay, let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about this mission! I guess you all came here specifically to accept the mission issued by the sect, right? To be honest, I am currently in charge of Baiye County.

Just recently, I successfully killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed here by the Zheng family. Therefore, you can all rest assured and carry out your respective missions without any worries. If you encounter any danger during your mission, remember to immediately send out the sect's exclusive distress signal. I will come to your rescue as soon as possible."

Xiao Changfeng's eyes were sharp at first, as if he could see through Wu Ming's inner thoughts at a glance, and then he explained to Wu Ming with a smile and a pleasant expression.

He then turned his attention to the other six outer disciples in the room, including Wu Ming, and began to give them a serious and earnest instruction. After all, this was one of the important tasks assigned to him by the sect. Whenever a fellow disciple was in danger, he must lend a helping hand without hesitation and provide timely assistance.

This way, not only can the loyalty and contribution of these disciples in charge of the county be demonstrated to the sect, but it can also be incorporated into the sect's internal comprehensive assessment system. It was for this reason that Xiao Changfeng took the trouble to repeatedly remind everyone present.

So, why didn't Xiao Changfeng personally go out and eliminate those Qi Refining cultivators of the Zheng family roaming around Baiye City? This has to do with the sect's rules. It turns out that for an inner disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage, if they kill a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, they won't receive a single contribution point! This rule is actually the result of careful consideration by the sect. The purpose is simple: to prevent Foundation Establishment disciples from targeting Qi Refining cultivators for ease and convenience. This would deprive the outer disciples at the Qi Refining stage of their precious training opportunities! After all, only through actual combat can one truly grow!

The six people present heard what they had wanted to know, and their tense nerves instantly relaxed. Now, not only was there such a powerful Foundation Establishment inner sect disciple to support them, but even the Foundation Establishment enemies had been completely wiped out. Now, they could finally carry out their mission without any worries!

The six of them almost simultaneously thanked Xiao Changfeng: "Brother Xiao, thank you so much for your reminder. We will definitely keep your words in mind!"

"Alright, everyone, you've understood the situation. If there's nothing else urgent, please leave. I'd also like to solemnly remind you once again that the Zheng family's disciples are like frightened birds right now. They basically won't show up during the day, and only dare to take action after nightfall. It's up to you to carefully grasp the right measure and timing."

After issuing the order to expel the guests, Xiao Changfeng immediately emphasized these words to the six people in front of him. In fact, for Xiao Changfeng, the reason why he did not personally kill those cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm was not because there was no reward, but for other reasons.

Although killing these low-level cultivators wouldn't bring any substantial rewards, he wouldn't mind taking action if he could eliminate a few of them. However, the problem was that these guys were hiding too well. Catching them all would require a significant amount of time and effort, and Xiao Changfeng wasn't willing to waste precious time on such a task. Hence, the opportunity presented itself to Wu Ming and the others to take on this task.

"Senior Brother Xiao, let's say goodbye here. Thank you for your advice." Wu Ming and the other six people bowed to Xiao Changfeng to express their farewell, and then left this slightly quiet courtyard one after another.

After everyone stepped out of the yard, one of the middle-aged men who looked quite steady suddenly suggested: "Everyone, we are all here to complete the tasks assigned by the sect. In this case, you might as well consider forming a team to work together. This way, not only can we take care of each other, but the efficiency of completing the tasks will surely be greatly improved. What do you think?"

As the older of the last batch of disciples to enter the sect, he remained at the seventh level of Qi Refining. At his current slow rate of cultivation, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was simply a pipe dream. For this reason, several years ago, he resolutely chose to marry, have children, and live an ordinary life.

In reality, he knew deep down that within two years, he would be forced to leave the sect he had once placed such high hopes in. Therefore, at this moment, he didn't expect to achieve any remarkable achievements or encounter any extraordinary adventures. He simply hoped to spend his final days in peace and comfort, and to save as much money as possible to create a better life for his young child.

Based on this thought, he began to think about recruiting a few fellow disciples to join him on the mission. After all, there's strength in numbers; everyone can look out for each other, and safety can be greatly improved. However, reality often doesn't live up to expectations. When he extended an invitation to those around him, the response was cold and refusal.
