Chapter 38 Taking over the mission
Chapter 38 Taking over the mission
Xu Huan turned and left. It was no problem for the Enforcement Pavilion to tear a piece of clothing, and besides, he had wanted to beat up a guy like Qu Juefeng for a long time.
As Xu Huan passed by Mu Jingtai, his hair stood on end. Mu Jingtai, who used to beat people, was now tearing off their clothes, which was truly a bit perverted.
Qu Juefeng looked down at his pork belly, which was clean and white, without a single scratch.
He awkwardly picked up his tattered clothes, put them on, and prepared to run away, but then turned to look at Chen An.
"What did you give me to eat? Say something."
Mu Jingtai stepped forward, but upon seeing Qu Juefeng, this cowardly bully immediately tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.
"What did you feed him?" Mu Jingtai's eyes were full of anticipation. If he had Chen An's thing, he could beat up those scumbags one by one without having to go to jail.
Chen An's heart pounded wildly. High cultivation made all the difference. She thought her movements were discreet enough, but the other party still saw her.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Mu Jingtai's ability to spare his opponent's life in every fight shows that he has exceptional observational skills.
"Give her a few more recovery pills, the ones that work quickly," Chen An said very seriously.
Mu Jingtai had tried this method before, but it didn't work. Every time, Xu Huan would come and take him away after the other party had recovered halfway. It seemed that there could only be one reason: he hadn't fed him enough.
“Since we’re already here, and you can’t go back for the next three days anyway, let’s take on missions together and go out for a couple of days.” After saying this, Mu Jingtai went off to find the wooden plaque he liked.
"Come and find us." He waved to the two of them.
Chen An walked over. It was great to have a senior brother; the rewards for tasks done at the Two Elements Realm were definitely plentiful.
"Be more self-aware, what are you doing standing there?"
Wu Siyue put aside his worries and quickly walked over.
A moment later, Mu Jingtai spotted one he liked: "This one is good."
Chen An and Wu Siyue went over and saw a wooden sign that read: "Medium-sized city: Xingyuan, a large number of demonic cultivators have appeared. To eliminate the demonic cultivators: 3000 high-grade raw stones, one jin of thousand-year-old black iron, 100 ginseng roots, and ten mid-grade ones."
Wu Siyue stared blankly at the rewards. He had never dared to dream of so many things. He was so grateful to Chen An and Mu Jingtai. He also needed to work hard to improve his cultivation so that their good intentions would not have been in vain.
Chen An could tell at a glance that Mu Jingtai didn't care about the reward; what he cared about was killing the demonic cultivator and upholding justice. "You have the highest cultivation level, so if you want a mission, I'll gladly take it."
"I'm afraid you'll think it's too dangerous and won't want to come with me." Mu Jingtai laughed heartily, which even affected Wu Siyue. This time, his smile was still warm, but Chen An didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
[Task: Cleanse the demonic cultivators in Xingyuan City. You will receive one of the following rewards.]
Talent value increased by 300, one superior spirit stone, martial strength increased by 4000, and 30 pills.
Failure reduces combat power by 8000.
Does the host accept the challenge?
"accept."
After the system disappeared, Chen An and Wu Siyue boarded the Flying Fish Crocodile, while Mu Jingtai flew on his sword, and they immediately set off.
Mu Jingtai slowed down and followed Chen An. With his current cultivation level, flying on a sword didn't require any effort. "It will take us a day to get there. Wu Siyue, let's find a fun place for you to break through first."
Wu Siyue swallowed hard; breaking through was not as easy as he made it out to be.
"Give it a try. It's rare for you to be out here. I also wanted to go out for a stroll while you were breaking through." Chen An said, taking a big gulp of wind.
Wu Siyue gritted his teeth. Mu Jingtai was a powerful expert in the Two Elements Realm, and Chen An was the top student among the new students. Looking down at the mountains and rivers at his feet, a surge of ambition to become someone who could look down on the world welled up in his heart. He shouted, "Okay, I will save myself."
Half an incense stick later, Chen An saw the Xu Hua Sect below. The sect was less than one-fifth the size of the Zhao Ning Sect, but it was still quite large. The sect was rich in spiritual energy and could be called a blessed land.
Recently, Chen An's sworn brother Meng Huan was cultivating. He sensed a familiar aura and immediately summoned his sword to catch up.
"Chen'an."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen An could only turn his head.
The main contributor to this trip was Mu Jingtai, who focused on eating, drinking, and having fun. Since they were out having fun, they wanted to experience different scenery. To stop at another sect was a complete departure from their original intentions.
"Big brother, you've arrived." That familiar aura belonged to the Yin-Yang Realm: "You've broken through!"
Meng Huan was very happy. Since their last parting, his mother had often talked about Chen An. He himself also liked his adopted sister's personality very much, but he had missed the opportunity to have a long talk with her last time.
"You broke through three days ago. Now that you're here, come and rest at my place before you leave. You've never been here before."
Chen An glanced at Mu Jingtai, whose face was full of disappointment. "It's such a pity. If it had been a few days earlier, we could have had a match. Your cultivation level is stable now, how could you have missed this opportunity?"
Meng Huan enjoys making friends. He believes that having more friends means having more options, especially with someone as straightforward and easy to get along with as the person in front of him. He says, "Judging from your appearance, you must have been away for quite a while. If you'd like, why don't you come back to visit me again?"
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Mu Jingtai's eyes lit up.
Following Meng Huan, the group entered one of the main peaks of the Xu Hua Sect.
Just as Chen An was settling down, preparing to visit Madam Yuan, Madam Yuan arrived on her own.
"Chen'an?"
“Madam Yuan.” Chen An smiled and took Madam Yuan’s hand, her eyes somewhat dim.
After Meng Huan asked the two to sit down, he explained, "Our sect is small. As long as you break through to the Two Elements Realm, you can have your own mountain. As soon as I broke through, I brought my mother here."
Chen An rummaged in his storage ring and quickly pulled out a white pill the size of his little finger.
"for you."
She handed the pill to Madam Yuan. The medicinal power had dissipated considerably, but it was clear that this pill was indeed extraordinary.
Madam Yuan had no cultivation level and couldn't tell how much spiritual power it contained, but the one in front of her had a strong medicinal fragrance and was definitely a treasure.
"I don't want it. What would an old woman like me need this for? You eat it yourself and focus on your cultivation."
Chen An has never experienced the warmth of having a mother, but he has seen it in many places; everyone's mother is like that.
"If it's given to you, just take it. Otherwise, how can I accept things from you in the future?" Chen An joked.
Madam Yuan sighed and accepted the pill.
"Eat it now, just eat it."
Looking at the expectant little girl in front of her, Madam Yuan smiled helplessly, patted her head, and swallowed the pill. After a while, her dim eyes were filled with vitality.
Meng Huan felt the effects of the medicine and his mind calmed down. He laughed and patted Chen An on the shoulder, then said to Mu Jingtai, "Brother Mu, it seems we can have a match tonight."
Mu Jingtai couldn't wait until tonight, so he grabbed his hand and tried to take him outside.
Madam Yuan felt completely comfortable, and from Meng Huan's change, she could tell that she was alive again.
"You silly child, how much will this cost?"
Chen An smiled. The bracelet that Madam Yuan had given her hadn't been of any use yet, but she knew it was no ordinary item. Compared to that, her own pill was clearly insignificant.
"Don't worry about it. The fact that I'm giving these things to you means that you are much more important to me than these things. If I ever decide I don't want to give you these things, you can worry about it then."
