Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 362 Delivering Good News

As for responsibilities, inner disciples only need to complete one Class C task each year in the first five years. This can be seen as an adaptation period for disciples who have just entered the inner sect.

However, after five years, the inner disciples need to choose to participate in one of the two tasks: garrison mission and patrol mission, and the duration of this mission is as long as twenty years.

Twenty years later, the inner disciples will go to the border to participate in the sect's large-scale border missions and engage in fierce wars with other forces.

This is the important responsibility that the inner disciples need to shoulder. Apart from that, as long as they do not violate the sect's precepts, the sect will not interfere with their behavior.

These responsibilities may seem numerous and complex, but in reality, they can be successfully completed in less than fifty years.

You know, for those foundation-building monks whose lifespan can reach two hundred years, these fifty years are just an extremely short period of time in their long life.

Moreover, the sect spared no effort to train and care for the disciples when they were still weak. Not only that, they also provided them with generous benefits every month.

All of these things are naturally not just for the purpose of doing good deeds. It is also natural for disciples to make corresponding returns to the sect after they grow up.

After carefully reading the responsibilities of inner disciples, Wu Ming did not feel the slightest bit of aversion in his heart. On the contrary, he expressed his agreement with these responsibilities.

The sect actually gave a buffer period of five years, which was undoubtedly a huge benefit for the inner disciples.

During these five years, they would have enough time to adapt and consolidate their cultivation without being forced to carry out those difficult tasks. This arrangement was already very humane!

After understanding the responsibilities and benefits of inner disciples, Wu Ming did not rush back to consolidate his cultivation like other disciples.

On the contrary, he had something more important to do in his mind - he had to rush to Qingyun Market to tell his grandfather the good news that he had become an inner disciple.

After leaving the sect and stepping on the flying sword, in just a stick of incense, Wu Ming arrived at Heshengtang, a place he had not set foot in for several months.

This was the place run by his grandfather. As soon as he opened the door, the familiar smell hit him, making Wu Ming feel particularly at home.

"Grandpa, are you all right these days?"

Wu Ming walked quickly to his grandfather, a happy smile on his face, and asked.

When he heard his grandson's voice, Mr. Wu, who had been sitting there leisurely, seemed to be thinking about something.

He slowly raised his head, glanced at Wu Ming, and was about to reply. However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly fixed, and the hand that was originally stroking his snow-white beard suddenly stopped.

Then, Mr. Wu seemed to realize something. He stood up suddenly and looked at Wu Ming in astonishment.

"Have you entered the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Wu Tianlong was shocked and looked at Wu Ming in front of him in disbelief.

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, he was very familiar with the aura of this realm.

At this moment, although the fluctuations of true energy emanating from Wu Ming's body were still a little immature, the strong and sharp aura was like a sword that had just been unsheathed, its edge was exposed and difficult to conceal.

Wu Tianlong's eyes were sharp, and he saw through Wu Ming's condition at a glance. He was secretly amazed that this child had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in such a short time. It was truly impressive.

"Grandpa, you see!"

Seeing that his grandfather was so perceptive, Wu Ming no longer concealed it and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, I have successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm and have become an inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect! That's why I came all the way here to tell you this good news."

There was a hint of pride and excitement in Wu Ming's voice. He knew that this was an important milestone for him and the best reward for his grandfather's careful teaching over the years.

When Wu Tianlong heard Wu Ming's words, he was stunned at first, and then the surprise on his face was gradually replaced by joy.

He stroked his beard and laughed heartily. His laughter echoed in the air, as if the whole world could feel his happiness.

"Yeah!"

Wu Tianlong said "good" twice in a row, and tears flowed unconsciously in his eyes amidst laughter. These were tears of excitement, tears of relief, and also a kind of affirmation of Wu Ming's growth.

He looked at his grandson who was full of vigor and vitality, and his heart was filled with emotion.

In just twelve or thirteen years, Wu Ming grew from an ignorant boy into a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Only the grandfather and grandson knew the hardships and efforts involved.

"He is worthy of being my grandson!" Wu Tianlong said excitedly.

"Grandpa has watched you all along the way. Now that you have finally achieved something, Grandpa is really proud of you!"

Wu Ming was a little surprised when he saw his grandfather's reaction. He quickly stepped forward, hugged his grandfather Wu Tianlong tightly, and asked with concern:

"Grandpa, I've entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. This is great news. Why are you crying?"

Wu Tianlong was slightly startled. He quickly rubbed his eyes and said calmly:

"Why am I crying? I just felt a little uncomfortable because the wind and sand got into my eyes."

However, Wu Ming wasn't fooled by his grandfather's words. He understood his grandfather's excitement. After all, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of less than thirty, which was considered an upper-middle-level achievement in the entire Qingyun Sect.

Wu Tianlong's heart was indeed filled with emotion, as he recalled his experiences when he was young.

Back then, when he had just joined the Qingyun Sect, he was a favored child of heaven, full of ambition and confidence and anticipation for the future. He had thought that the Foundation Establishment Stage was just a small stepping stone on his life's path, something he could easily cross.

However, fate played a cruel joke on him. A sudden accident made him lose the opportunity to become an inner disciple of Qingyun Sect, and his life trajectory changed dramatically from then on.

In desperation, he had to leave the sect, wander around, and experience many vicissitudes of life.

Later, Wu Tianlong got married and had children, and thought he could live a peaceful life.

As his son grew up and reached the stage of cultivation, he discovered that his son's talent was far inferior to his, and he could only barely become an ordinary disciple of Qingyun Sect.

That’s fine. After all, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I won’t force it.

But what made him feel even more sad was that his son and daughter-in-law were both killed in a monster invasion, leaving only the elderly him and the young Wu Ming to depend on each other.

This series of heavy blows hit Wu Tianlong like a mountain crushing an egg, making him seem to have aged dozens of years in an instant.
