Chapter 132: Sect Mission

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He Mingye smiled and said, “Junior Brother, you are asking the obvious. In just one morning, you have cultivated the Water Cross Sword to the first level. At such speed, no one in the entire Yuelan Sect can match your talent in swordsmanship.”

“Thank you for your patient guidance.”

Xu Ning was in a good mood.

“Since you have cultivated the Water Cross Sword to the first level, then I won’t teach you the more advanced parts. Only by practicing more and deepening your understanding in the Water Cross Sword will you be able to fully cultivate it.”

He Mingye said, “Next, I will teach you the Bright Fire Sword.”

“All right, I’ll have to switch swords then.”

Xu Ning looked at the blue-tinted sword in his hand, put it down, and took out the red-tinted sword.

Although these two swords looked the same, they were in fact made out of different materials.

Xu Ning could clearly sense that although the Water Cross Sword had not yet been cultivated to the fourth level, as a water secret technique, even on the first level, it could be enhanced by the watery qi inside his body.

Additionally, the materials used to make the blue-tinted sword had beneficial effects on the water sword technique.

“Fire sword, fire type, nature annihilation.”

Just like previously, He Mingye carefully taught Xu Ningying the Bright Fire Sword.

And this time, He Mingye was more patient.

He already knew that although Xu Ning seemed to be learning slowly, he was actually thinking deeply about the technique.

Another four hours went by.

…

Consume 100 units of energy to advance the Bright Fire Sword?

Yes / No

…

“Yes.”

With that, Xu Ning raised his Bright Fire Sword to the first level.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Xu Ning held the red-tinted sword and demonstrated the Bright Fire Sword technique in front of He Mingye.

Although He Mingye was mentally prepared this time, he still felt extremely shocked when he saw Xu Ning reach the first level at both the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.

“Junior Brother is really extraordinary.”

He Mingye suddenly understood how the other core disciples viewed him.

They looked at him like how he looked at Xu Ning.

“Junior Brother, you have taken your first step in mastering the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword.”

He Mingye said to Xu Ning, “In the future, in addition to advancing these techniques separately, you also have to try to combine the two. Although the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword are two separate secret techniques, when combined, their lethality will increase multiplicatively.”

“Understood, Senior Brother.”

In fact, Xu Ning already had the ability to combine the two techniques.

Just like He Mingye said, when the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword were used together, their effectiveness would increase multiplicatively.

“Once Master comes back from the Beast Hunting Sect and knows of your progress, he will definitely be shocked.”

He Mingye sighed.

“Master is not in the sect right now?”

Xu Ning asked.

“He went to the Beast Hunting Sect to visit my friends and to return the demon beasts.”

He Mingye explained, “Most of the demon beasts at the demon slaying conference yesterday were borrowed from them by Elder Yuancheng.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning was also wondering where the Yuelan Sect had captured so many void realm demon beasts.

‘So he borrowed it.’

But then Xu Ning thought of the mid level void realm demon beast that he and Ji Yimiao had injured together.

Since it was borrowed, did injuring it cause trouble for Elder Yuancheng?

“By the way, Junior Brother.”

He Mingye said, “Tomorrow, I will go on a long journey to do a mission. So, if you have nothing to do in the near future, you can come to my place to practice.”

He Mingye said, “In the back courtyard, there is a middle-grade aura fountain, and the effect of it is twice that of your inner sect low-grade aura fountains. Practicing secret scrolls and secret techniques there will increase your speed greatly.”

Xu Ning paused when he heard this. “If that is the case, thank you for your kindness.”

He Mingye was sincere to Xu Ning, and Xu Ning respected him.

“It’s fine.”

He Mingye waved his hand dismissively, indicating that there was no need to worry too much.

Afterwards, He Mingye briefly talked to Xu Ning about the cultivation of the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword before personally sending Xu Ning out.

Before leaving, Xu Ning brought along the twin swords that He Mingye gave him.

…

Back at Xu Ning’s inner sect residence.

‘I owe Senior Brother He a big favor.’

Xu Ning looked at the two swords on the table and thought to himself.

“But speaking of missions…”

Thinking that He Mingye was going to carry out a mission tomorrow, Xu Ning also realized that he had been in the sect for almost three months now, and in that timeframe, he had only done Le Caiwei’s personal mission once, but never a sect mission.

Although he was the in-name disciple of the Sect Master, he was still an inner disciple.

As an inner disciple, he had to complete a sect mission every three months.

‘In a few days, I will have stayed in the faction for three months.’

Xu Ning thought, ‘I have to ask the Seven Boxers if there are any sect missions that I can complete in a short time…’

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just when Xu Ning was thinking, there were knocks coming from the door.

“Xu Ning, are you back?”

It was Gu Qinghe’s voice.

Xu Ning opened the door and saw Gu Qinghe in high spirits.

“Fortunately, I listened to you and joined the Seven Boxers!”

Gu Qinghe walked straight into the room and sat down. “Today, I am going to be a Class Four!”

“Class Four?”

Xu Ning looked surprised. “So high?”

A Class Four was comparable to Le Caiwei’s status.

And to get to that point, Le Caiwei had put in a lot of effort for the Seven Boxers.

“I think so too…”

Gu Qinghe smiled happily.

Being a Class Four represented not only internal status, but also resources.

At this class, Gu Qinghe would receive four Pure Source Pills every month.

“I have greatly benefited from your advice.”

Gu Qinghe was aware of that. “Otherwise, even if I enter the Seven Boxers now, I will only be a Class Two.”

“By the way, Xu Ning, you have also been internally evaluated as a Class Five.”

Gu Qinghe said, “Senior Brother Ning and Senior Sister Le have also been promoted to Class Five.”

Because Xu Ning went to the core disciple sect today and did not participate in the internal meeting of the Seven Boxers, Gu Qinghe came to deliver the contents of the meeting to Xu Ning.

“Actually, someone wanted to promote you as the leader, but Senior Sister Le said that you didn’t want to, so she temporarily left the position empty.”

Gu Qinghe said, “So currently, Brother Ning is the acting leader of the Seven Boxers.”

Xu Ning nodded silently.

Le Caiwei did talk to him about this in the past. She had expressed her wish for him to replace Xiao Qiyun and become the new leader of the Seven Boxers, but Xu Ning refused.

Xu Ning was not good at handling such chores.

“The Seven Boxers has been completely revitalized by your influence.” Gu Qinghe said, “There are people constantly joining us now, and the resources that were lost in the past are slowly recovering. According to Senior Brother Ning and Senior Sister Le, in a month at most, the Seven Boxers will be back on track.”

“Also.”

Gu Qinghe said, “The Knife Moon Crowd has also given in to us. Guo Yuechun, Shen Qiulun and the others have all been expelled from the Knife Moon Crowd, and none of the inner sect forces even want to touch them.”

After Xu Ning heard this, he was sure that the Seven Boxers had returned to their former glory.

“One more thing.” Gu Qinghe said, “You don’t have to return the ten Pure Source Pills you borrowed from me.”

“No, I can’t do that.”

Xu Ning insisted.

“It’s not that I don’t want it, but Senior Sister Le has already given me ten Pure Source Pills as repayment.” Gu Qinghe explained, “You forgot that ever since you joined the Seven Boxers, you have never received the monthly subsidy of Pure Source Pills.”

After Gu Qinghe said this, Xu Ning suddenly remembered.

At that time, he was still a Class Three, so he would receive three Pure Source Pills every month.

And now that three months had passed since he joined, he still had nine Pure Source Pills to claim.

With that said, Le Caiwei took it to herself to pay his debt, in fact, she even paid extra.

After that, Gu Qinghe chose to leave.

He was also working hard to practice the secret scroll, as he wanted to enter the void realm as soon as possible.

…

The next day.

Xu Ning did not immediately go to the core disciple sect, instead he went to find Ning Xun.

“Xu Ning, did Qinghe tell you about the contents of the meeting yesterday?”

As soon as he saw Xu Ning, Ning Xun spoke.

“He told me that I’m a Class Five now.”

Xu Ning nodded.

“After you become a Class Five, you will receive unlimited access to the aura fountain in the inner sect, and you will also receive an additional five Pure Source Pills every month.”

Ning Xun said, “Truthfully, these rewards pale in comparison to what you have contributed to the Seven Boxers…”

“Brother Ning.”

Xu Ning interrupted, “You have provided me with a lot of resources in the past. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have advanced so quickly, so you don’t worry too much about minor details.”

When Xu Ning said that, Ning Xun was relieved.

He was glad that Xu Ning was recruited by Le Caiwei.

If he went to another inner sect group, the Seven Boxers might have already disbanded.

“Brother, speaking of the resources that come with the class promotion, I want to change…”

Xu Ning thought about it and said, “I don’t want to have the right to use the aura fountains freely, instead can you give me five more Pure Source Pills every month?”

For Xu Ning, aura fountains were far less effective than Pure Source Pills.

A Pure Source Pill was 100 units of energy, while absorbing energy in a low-grade aura fountain for a month could only provide him a total of 300 units of energy.

Because Xu Ning’s advancement system was different from others, there was a huge difference in demand for these two.

“No.”

Ning Xun instantly refused.

He thought that Xu Ning was deliberately freeing his share of the aura fountains to others.

“Brother Ning.”

Xu Ning knew that Ning Xun had misunderstood his intentions. “The reason why I don’t want that right is because Senior Brother He is lending me his middle-grade aura fountain. When I cultivate in the future, I will go directly to the core disciple sect.”

“I see…”

After hearing the reason why, Ning Xun finally relaxed. “Okay, I will allocate ten Pure Source Pills every month to you in the future. By the way, Caiwei and I discussed yesterday, and we decided to give you 50 Pure Source Pills as thanks for what you have done. It’s just that all of our internal resources are still recovering, so we don’t have much left. Therefore, we plan to give you the 50 Pure Source Pills within three months.”

“50 Pure Source Pills?”

Xu Ning’s eyes lit up.

That was 5000 units of energy.

“Then I won’t refuse.”

Xu Ning was straightforward this time.

“Brother Ning, I came to you this time to ask if there are any suitable missions for me to choose from?”

Xu Ning said, “It’s best if it’s a sect mission with a short mission period. I have been in the inner sect for almost three months, but I haven’t done a sect mission yet.”

“There doesn’t seem to be any short term sect missions.”

Ning Xun thought for a moment before responding, “When it comes to sect missions, most of them are external missions, and the minimum time limit is more than a month.”

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning originally wanted to find a task that could be completed in a short period of time, and after completing it, he would go to the core disciple sect to practice.

But now it seemed impossible.

“Our mission channels have just been given back. Why don’t you go and look through the internal sect missions. There are many missions that can’t be accepted by the public and are specially provided to us.”

Ning Xun suggested.

“Okay, in this case, I’ll go take a look.”

Xu Ning bid farewell and prepared to choose a mission.

…

Three days later.

Outside the Yuelan Sect.

Xu Ning was wearing a white shirt with two swords strapped on his back.

“I have been in the Yuelan Sect for three months, but this is the first time I have gone out.”

After two to three days of deliberation, Xu Ning finally chose an extermination mission.

According to the rough estimates, this extermination mission could be completed in one and a half months.

After completing it, he would receive 100 contribution points, which was equivalent to ten Pure Source Pills.

“Let’s go find Gray first.”

Xu Ning moved and rushed towards the mountains not far away from the Yuelan Sect.

It had been three months since he last saw Gray. Xu Ning was afraid that Gray would not be able to bear the loneliness and leave.

…

Xu Ning and Gray had agreed on the mountain peak.

A gray figure slowly walked out of a spacious cave.

Compared to three months ago, Gray’s body was larger.

But judging from its appearance, it still looked harmless and naive.

Caw!

Several raptor demon beasts flew over Gray’s head.

The auras of these raptor demon beasts were blood-chilling. As they flew in the sky, many of the beasts in the forest could feel their legs weakening.

At this moment, Gray suddenly jumped up.

After stopping in mid-air, Gray suddenly opened its mouth. Its head expanded before swallowing several demon beasts whole.

Compared to before, Gray now had a bigger appetite.

After landing on the ground, Gray burped.

It did not walk back to the cave immediately, instead it lay down on the side of the steep mountain.

Its Gray eyes looked in the direction of the Yuelan Sect.

Ever since Xu Ning went to the Yuelan Sect, it had been like this every day.

It seemed that if it looked at Xu Ning’s direction, it would be able to see Xu Ning coming towards it.

As usual, Gray was curled up in a ball.

The sun began to rise.

Just when Gray felt that the morning was about to pass, he suddenly noticed a white dot in its vision.

The white dot quickly rushed towards it.

Gray stood up instantly and raised its head.

Finally, Gray saw that it was Xu Ning.

Instantly, Gray turned into a shadow and jumped down from the mountain.

It stepped on the rocks and rushed forward.

In less than a minute, Gray arrived in front of Xu Ning.

It then jumped into Xu Ning’s arms.
