Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 47 Garrison Mission, Revisiting Falling Moon City

"He's already at the fifth level of the embryonic breathing stage! What kind of opportunity did Lin Yuan obtain?"

Many people know that Lin Yuan recently broke through to the third level of the Fetal Breathing Realm in his academic assessment.

As a result, in just over a year, he has already reached the fifth level of fetal respiration.

This speed is simply unimaginable.

It should be noted that 99% of the disciples at Xinhuo Peak struggle to break through to the fourth level of the Fetal Breathing stage before leaving the peak.

"Is this what a genius with top-grade innate talent is like? He can surpass many people just by getting a few lucky breaks."

"Even with equal resources, those with better talent can reap more benefits."

"Not only is his talent for cultivation good, but his comprehension is also high. He passed the fifth level of the fourth level of the embryonic breathing stage and the sixth level of the fifth level. Although his combat power is slightly inferior to Lin Chao and Wang Qiudao, it is still top-notch."

Upon hearing this, a disciple chuckled and shook his head: "How can they be compared to those two freaks? Lin Chao was able to kill a demon beast at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Although Wang Qiudao has no battle records, some people say that he may have fought against a cultivator at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage without being defeated."

"Sigh, as I said before, if Lin Yuan had the talent he possessed in the past, he would have been a shining figure in the Firewood Peak and even the entire Sword Sect. But now, compared to those two, I feel he is just average."

"Not only those two, but also Senior Brother Sun Minglong from the main peak is now ranked fifth on the list of the top ten geniuses of the Xuanling Domain."

"Is this the great struggle the teacher spoke of?"

"Fortunately, our Sword Sect has an unparalleled genius who will surely have a place in the future, and the Lesser Immortal Realm will definitely be within our grasp."

It was common knowledge among all the disciples that the Sword Sect did not possess a Lesser Immortal Realm.

But no disciple was anxious.

Firstly, most of the disciples of the Sword Sect are taught from a young age and have good character. At worst, they can become a mortal sect and start cultivating the sword path again in three hundred years.

Secondly, in their view, with Lin Chao and Wang Qiudao around, it wouldn't be difficult for the Sword Sect to obtain the Lesser Immortal Realm.

Therefore, the better Lin Chao performed, the happier the Sword Sect disciples were.

This can be considered one of the directions that the Sword Sect deliberately guided.

While they were talking, Lin Yuan left quietly.

"The contribution point reward for clearing the sixth floor is 3200 points. Plus, the monthly settlement is coming soon, that's another 6200 contribution points in my account! A great deal!"

One bottle of Peiyuan Pill costs 200 contribution points, so this is more than 30 bottles of Peiyuan Pill.

Even now, it's enough for him to use for a long time.

Of course, he definitely wouldn't exchange it for the Qi-Nourishing Pill.

He still has more than half of the Qiongming Elixir left unused, enough for him to use until he reaches the sixth level of the Fetal Breathing Realm.

The effect of the Qi Cultivation Pill will definitely be much worse by then, so I will directly exchange it for pills used by cultivators at or above the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing stage.

With enough contribution points, one can be this arrogant.

"Furthermore, there are rewards for breaking through to the fifth level of Fetal Breathing; you can collect them from your teacher tomorrow."

Breaking through to the fourth level of the Fetal Breathing stage rewards you with 10000 sect contribution points. Breaking through to the fifth level, even if it doesn't double, should at least give you 15000 points, right?

Thinking about all this, Lin Yuan walked to the mission hall.

This time, he plans to choose a suitable mission to see if he can find out any news about Lin Qingfeng.

If Lin Qingfeng hadn't come out this time, he might have lived for another three hundred years.

After this period of development, the mission hall of Xinhuo Peak is no longer as simple as it was at the beginning.

Today, there are many disciples who are specifically responsible for this task.

Lin Yuan was searching for a mission in the area where the Lin family lived.

As it turned out, he actually found one.

The mission was quite unique; it was a garrison mission, and the garrison location was one that Lin Yuan was familiar with.

[To guard Falling Moon City for two months, requiring a cultivation level of at least the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.]

The reason for this kind of task is very simple.

Recently, many junior cultivators have flocked to Luoyue City. Their strength is generally not strong, and most of them are at the first, second or third level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, it's not considered strong for cultivators, but for ordinary people, a cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage could easily slaughter through the entire city.

Therefore, these cultivators are extremely domineering.

Perhaps knowing that the spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, they wanted to have a final celebration, acting recklessly and running rampant in the city, causing untold suffering to mortals.

It is said that the daughter of the Lord of Luoyue City was murdered, but the Lord himself survived and went to the Sword Pavilion.

Ultimately, Sword Pavilion reported the matter to the sect, making it a mission.

"This mission suits me well." Luoyue City is very close to the Lin family.

Now there are cultivators from all over the world, a mixed bag, which makes it easy to gather information.

Moreover, according to the mission information, the strongest cultivators in Falling Moon City are currently at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and there are three of them.

These three cultivators can be considered the "overlords" of Falling Moon City, and his strength is enough to suppress them.

Without much hesitation, Lin Yuan accepted the task.

"Junior brother, you've chosen the perfect time to accept this task. It's only been posted for half a day. If no one accepts it by tomorrow, the sect will send someone directly to it," said the registration disciple in the Task Hall as Lin Yuan came to register for the task.

"Can missions still be assigned to people forcibly?" This was the first time Lin Yuan had ever heard of such a thing.

Upon hearing this, the registered disciple continued to explain: "Of course, for example, if a monster appears in a certain place and threatens the people of a village or town, we can't just leave it unattended. In fact, as soon as a truly urgent mission is sent to the sect, the sect will directly arrange for someone to handle it. It will not be sent to the Mission Hall at all."

"For slightly better missions, the mission will be displayed in the mission hall for a day. If no one accepts it, someone will be assigned to it immediately. Only escort missions and the like will remain displayed if no one accepts them."

"Our Sword Sect is a righteous sect, so we need to do something to live up to this name."

"Yes, that last sentence was said by the sect leader when he took over the position. My master told me it, and now I'm telling it to my junior brother."

Even though Lin Yuan was aware of the Sword Sect's atmosphere, hearing these words still stirred considerable emotions within him.

If he heard these words upon entering the Sword Sect, he might have been dismissive.

But after seeing how the Sword Sect did it, hearing these words again made a completely different impression.

So he nodded and said, "Senior brother, I will remember those words."

Upon hearing this, the registered disciple smiled and nodded.

There was a reason he was sent here.

Finally, the registering disciple explained: "Given the existence of the Trial Tower, the guarding mission is only for two months. In reality, it is a long-term mission. If you need to continue guarding after the mission ends, you can inform the disciple in charge when the mission is settled. If the guarding mission is still available afterward, you will be given priority."

Lin Yuan indicated that he was aware of this.

The registered disciple didn't say anything more; it was just something that had to be explained as part of the process.

He didn't think many disciples would choose to stay in mortal cities where spiritual energy was extremely scarce.

……

Lin Yuan originally intended to receive the reward for reaching the fifth level of the Fetal Breathing Realm before leaving, but considering that the situation in Luoyue City, while not the most urgent, was not good either, he simply packed up and left Qingyu Mountain, heading towards Luoyue City.

It took him more than ten days to get here.

He could return, and with the help of his "Wind Control" supernatural power, he only needed less than half a day.
