Firefly Journey

Lin Yuanran went to Yunlai Peak for only one purpose: to find a mission to complete.

Lin Yuanran didn't intend to accept this task casually; he wanted it to meet his desired conditions.

One of the conditions is that it must be a collective task.

These kinds of tasks are often quite difficult, since they require a lot of people to complete, so it would be strange if they weren't challenging!

It's not that Lin Yuanran particularly enjoys making friends, but rather that he wants to take this opportunity to get to know more people from the other peaks.

Yes, he finally remembered his mission to join the Star Moon Alliance.

These days, Fengling always does the important work by herself, and he feels somewhat ashamed.

There wasn't much progress with the wind chimes; all they knew was the most basic stuff and had nothing to do with the two's "main quest."

Lin Yuanran felt that he needed to change his approach.

The disciples of each peak naturally know more about their own situation than someone who delivers food. Lin Yuanran wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the situation of the other peaks by carrying out bounty missions together.

By the way... I'll go out and look for some ingredients for alchemy.

Well, he still hasn't forgotten about alchemy.

Lin Yuanran's eyes swept over one bounty notice after another, but none of them satisfied him. Finally, he found a task that met the requirements in a corner.

The task is to obtain a complete Red Phoenix (dead ones are acceptable) and three Cloud Dew Fruits.

Hongxuan is an oviparous mythical beast that resembles a crane with red feathers. When it hatches, it is already at the Foundation Establishment stage, making it one of the highest-ranking mythical beasts from the start.

If they encounter the right opportunity, they also have a very high potential, such as entering the Void Realm, the Jade Pool Realm, or even reaching the Divine Realm. For the most powerful, it is not impossible to ascend to the Heavenly Court.

As for the Cloud Dew Fruit, it has no special origin; it's simply something that Hongxuan likes to eat.

Red pine trees are mostly active in the Qinling Mountains of Daxia, for a simple reason: the climate there is suitable for the growth of the cloud dew fruit tree.

The notice stated that five people were required to carry out the task, and there were no restrictions on the level of the participants, but the Hongxuan brought back had to be at least at the Golden Core stage. The reward was quite good: a sword manual.

The "good" here only applies to ordinary disciples; it's just a sword manual, useless to Lin Yuanran. He can't exactly use a staff as a sword. Besides, he has plenty of other offensive methods, specializing in casting divine pronouncements from afar; he's a mage, not a warrior who fights with a sword.

Lin Yuanran smiled and said, "You're the one."

Just as he noted down the mission number and was about to go to the staff to collect it, two women came up to him.

The two women were quite attractive. One was dressed in purple, with her hair tied up in a high crown and carrying a delicate longsword on her back. Although her attire was somewhat old-fashioned, she exuded a heroic spirit. The other woman was dressed in green, with a touch of childishness in her eyes, suggesting she was quite young.

"Hey, senior sister, look! It's a mission posted by senior brother Yan!" The girl's voice was as clear as a bell.

The woman in purple looked over and laughed, "It's like the sun has risen in the west. Why would Senior Brother Yan, who always does things personally, suddenly issue a task?"

The woman in green said, "Red Phoenix and Cloud Dew Fruit... we can accept them."

"Xiao Zhi, it says there need to be five people, we don't meet the requirements."

The woman in green, called Xiao Zhi, laughed and said, "Then why don't we find three more allies?"

"Well... what you said makes sense."

Lin Yuanran did not move, but began to deduce the situation based on the two people's clothing and conversation.

The woman in purple carried a sword, so she was probably a sword cultivator. It wouldn't be surprising if she admired Yan Jinglei, and that sword manual was an even rarer treasure to her.

The woman in green was much simpler; she might simply admire the current senior brother of the Star Moon Alliance, just like a mortal girl who likes to follow celebrities.

In short, Lin Yuanran spoke up: "Senior sisters, I was just about to take on this mission, but I was all alone. Now that I've met you, how about we team up?"

Lin Yuanran's idea was simple: this task was a piece of cake for him. Hong Xuan, who was at the Golden Core stage, might be difficult for others to deal with, but he didn't care about her at all; it was just a matter of one punch.

The mission requires five people because the overall strength of the younger generation of the Star Moon Alliance is not satisfactory. Those who can even look at that sword manual must not be of a high cultivation level. Five people gathered together are more than enough to deal with Hong Xuan, who is at the Golden Core stage or above.

Lin Yuanran figured he was going to find anyone anyway, so he decided to get the team together first. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take to find the next group of like-minded people.

The two women looked Lin Yuanran up and down, seemingly surprised by his appearance. The woman with the sword on her back and dressed in purple asked, "May I ask which lineage you belong to, senior brother?"

Lin Yuanran cupped his hands and said, "I dare not accept the title of senior brother. I am Ario Morris from Zhulai Peak."

The two sisters weren't surprised by the foreign names. The cultivation world was a mixed bag these days, and people from all over the world were already exchanging things. It wasn't unusual for foreigners to come to Great Xia or for Great Xia people to go abroad. Hundreds of years ago, foreigners had come to the Star Moon Sect to seek the Dao.

The two women nodded and then introduced themselves.

"Yuan Qingping of Wulai Peak".

"Mist comes to the peaks and flowers."

Wulai Peak...is he a disciple of Qingyun Daoren, the leader of the Moon Alliance?

The Star-Moon Alliance has a total of seven branches, with the Star Alliance occupying five seats and the Moon Alliance only having two.

That's right, it's based on the gender of the person in charge of each peak.

Several hundred years ago, the founders of the Star Moon Alliance were a husband and wife who took in seven disciples, who are now the two sect leaders and five elders.

Originally, the couple didn't separate, but they had a fight and ended up separating.

Until the passing of the two founders, the two sects never merged again. The seven disciples had a good relationship, but in order to follow the last instructions of their master and mistress, they dared not merge rashly. Although the two alliances were one family, they were still separate in terms of organization, but only in terms of organization.

The two women were quite surprised, since they had found a teammate so quickly, which meant they could wait for one less person.

The three arrived at the Yunlai Peak disciple in charge of collecting tasks, and were about to receive the commission when Lin Yuanran saw two familiar faces.

We weren't very familiar with each other; we'd only met once.

They were the two disciples who guarded the mountain when we first entered.

Why are they here?

isn't it?

After the three expressed their willingness to accept the task issued by Yan Jinglei, the disciples burst into laughter: "Isn't this a coincidence? Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Zhang, your teammates have arrived!"

Zhang Yu recognized Lin Yuanran, smiled and nodded, and Lin Yuanran nodded in return.

Meng Buzheng's expression darkened considerably. He had always been cold and indifferent to these newly initiated disciples, but he never expected that this fellow would actually pass the entrance exam.

He didn't show his disdain too much, but simply said, "Is that so? That's great. There are exactly five of us. Let's exchange names and cultivation levels."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanran sensed a murderous intent. Well, buddy, you're about to make your move, huh?

Yuan Qingping said, "We have already exchanged names with this senior brother."

Meng Buzheng sneered, "Is that so? Then what about the cultivation level?"
