Chapter 24

Sect Mission

The next morning, Su Yi got up very early and used the 1600 experience points she had gained from a hard night of cultivation, plus the remaining 1100 experience points, to level up 3 levels.

In an instant, Su Yi's aura changed from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level!

Su Yi smiled proudly, "Cultivating immortality is just that easy!"

But when Su Yi saw Ling Yao and Xiao Tian, ​​who were at the fourth level of Qi Refining, she was immediately discouraged.

Wait, how come you guys upgraded again?

Do I have a system or do you have a system?

The storyline only mentions that Gu Wanquan advanced one level per day and entered the inner sect in one month after achieving Foundation Establishment.

No other prodigies were mentioned.

It seems that everyone living in this courtyard is a big shot who's on a completely different level every day!

Disappointed, Master Su expressionlessly cooked two large buckets of white porridge and placed them in front of the expectant Ling Yao and Xiao Tian.

Su Yi kept the other people's breakfasts warm on a steamer with the stove turned off, so they could take them when they got hungry.

After the two piglets had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Yi was finally able to take Ling Yao and Xiao Tian to the outer sect to accept their mission.

There are many tasks in the outer sect of Luoxia Immortal Sect, including exorcising demons, conducting investigations, running errands, and farming.

Su Yi gave Ling Yao the choice of what task to do. After looking at it for a long time, Ling Yao reluctantly chose a daily task of exorcising demons.

As the Luoxia Immortal Sect is located in Luoxia Cave Heaven, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Caves, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is naturally exceptionally rich.

This place is exceptionally rich in spiritual energy, which is not only beneficial for cultivators, but also brings the trouble of easily causing plants, birds, and beasts to develop intelligence and become spirits.

These things are as common as mosquitoes in summer; once you clear out a batch, a new batch will sprout up soon after.

Over time, these spirits will attack passing outer disciples, posing a certain danger.

Therefore, sects also issue regular cleanup missions based on the number of monsters killed. These missions serve two purposes: to eliminate monsters and to train sect disciples.

Looking at the task Ling Yao had chosen, Su Yi couldn't help but feel a little expectant. Upon accepting the task, she saw that it indeed suited the tyrannical empress's tastes:

"Outer Sect Quest: Exorcise the Demon in Lingxi!"

"Task Description: In the outer Qingyun Mountain, where mist lingers year-round, a stream that winds its way down from the mountaintop is infested with spirits and monsters, requiring regular cleanup."

"Task Requirements: Ten right eyeballs of spirit frogs (0/10)"

"Quest Reward: 3 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

The task was easy, so the reward was naturally lackluster.

Su Yi didn't care what mission she took, because her main purpose for this trip was to follow Ling Yao, this lucky charm, to experience the unique adventures of the Luo Xia Immortal Sect!

After accepting the mission, the three of them took the map and slowly set off along the mountain trail towards their destination.

Ling Yao skipped and hopped along the way, sometimes thirsty, sometimes hungry, and sometimes needing Su Yi to carry her.

They didn't seem to be doing a task; they looked more like they were on a spring outing.

Su Yi, half-accustomed to and half-coaxing, agreed to all of Ling Yao's requests, as she had once been his number one lackey.

Xiao Tian, ​​who was learning to read, looked on with envy at Ling Yao, who was acting coquettishly in front of Su Yi.

Xiao Tian also wanted to be carried on Su Yi's back and act cute, but Senior Brother Su always refused him, saying that he was not a child.

So what if he's nearly two meters tall? He's only twelve years old!

Why can't I act cute?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tian felt sad and wanted to cry again.

As for why Su Yi was so certain that following Ling Yao would lead to an extraordinary encounter.

This was partly due to Ling Yao's lucky charm constitution, and partly due to the special rules of the outer sect of the Luoxia Immortal Sect.

"Those who break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before the age of twenty will have the opportunity to become an inner disciple!"

This rule is in order to select talented young disciples for the sect to focus on training and to uphold the reputation of the entire Luoxia Immortal Sect.

Although this rule is as if it doesn't exist for geniuses like Gu Wanquan.

However, for 99% of the outer disciples, this rule is like an insurmountable barrier on their path to immortality.

The Luoxia Immortal Sect recruits hundreds or even thousands of disciples every ten years, but the number of outer disciples remains stable at five or six thousand.

That is because after entering the outer sect, disciples either have no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage or are already over twenty years old when they break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Most of these ordinary disciples, who make up 90% of the group, chose to leave the mountain on their own and return to the secular world.

Although he was just an ordinary outer disciple within the Luoxia Immortal Sect, in the outside world, who wouldn't call him Celestial Master?

Some, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, grew old and came to enjoy the life of the sect. Until their lifespan was nearing its end, they would find a propitious spot in the outer immortal mountains and blessed lands to cultivate in seclusion.

These cultivators who secluded themselves for cultivation throughout their lives naturally accumulated their wealth along with them during their seclusion.

This became a minor but significant adventure within the outer sect, a kind of adventure unique to the outer sect, commonly known as digging up graves.

Not everyone enjoys the idea of ​​a miraculous encounter and having their grave dug up by future generations after death. Therefore, some cultivators who choose to enter seclusion will select extremely secluded or dangerous locations for their seclusion.

This can be considered an opportunity and a test given by the predecessors of the Luoxia Immortal Sect to their disciples, and also a meeting between disciples of the Luoxia Immortal Sect across time.

Over the millennia, those simple and obvious graves have long been dug up by outer disciples as if they were fortuitous encounters, leaving only the graves of those deeply hidden, cunning old foxes that have not been found.

The sect also turned a blind eye to this behavior and did not manage it, only requiring the disciples who had the fortuitous encounter to properly bury the body of the person who had the encounter.

Because in the eyes of the sect, cultivators who choose to go into seclusion in the outer sect may lack talent, but their decades or even hundreds of years of cultivation in the outer sect have long made them a part of the Luoxia Immortal Sect.

Since you can't take those things with you after you die, it's better to let future generations benefit from them.

This serendipitous encounter with a grave has evolved into a unique tradition of the Luoxia Immortal Sect.

Therefore, as time went on, inner disciples who had no hope of breaking through would also follow the example of outer disciples and go into seclusion for intensive training.

For cultivators practicing Qi cultivation, such "fortuitous encounters" are like hidden treasures found in graveyards.

The minimum requirement is Foundation Establishment, and the maximum might be the wealth of a Golden Core cultivator. For Qi Refining cultivators, that's more than enough!

Before transmigrating, according to a certain empress who disliked cultivation, she relied on the rare and precious materials, spirit stones and pills she encountered in these fortuitous encounters to directly reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

Such extraordinary encounters, which even outer disciples might never experience in their entire lives, were as easy for Ling Yao as going home for a meal.

"Every time I go out, these graves block my way. It's so annoying!"

The comments from a top-tier Versailles demonstrate the terrifying extent of one's lucky charm status!

But the Empress, who had gotten a good deal but still acted innocent, couldn't help but grimac whenever the matter was brought up. After all her possessions were taken by Ling Yao, she acted as if those cultivators who had been in seclusion had gained an enormous advantage.

"Those poor bastards are really getting off easy. They expect me to kowtow to them for a few pieces of rags!"
