Large-Scale Sect Mission

"I'm back..." Standing at the main gate of the Asura Sect Headquarters, Zhuge Xiang took a deep breath.

Although he had only been at the Asura Sect Headquarters for a little over half a year, and had spent most of his time training in the Endless Mountain Range, Zhuge Xiang had truly felt a sense of belonging to the Asura Sect. Here, at least he no longer had to wander aimlessly like before, not even knowing where his next meal would come from. Here, he could eat meat to his heart's content, and here, he could feel himself becoming stronger every day.

Upon returning, Zhuge Xiang first went to the Trading Area. In the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he found Jin Buhuan, took out all the materials he had collected over the past two months, and exchanged them for more than two thousand Spirit Stone Coin. After looking around, he didn't find anything better. Zhuge Xiang chatted with Jin Buhuan for a few minutes and then left.

During this time, Jin Buhuan did not hold back his praise for Zhuge Xiang's breakthrough to the Body Tempering Realm. It should be noted that in the Asura Headquarters, it usually takes three or four years for a new disciple to break through to the Body Tempering Realm, but Zhuge Xiang reached the Body Tempering Realm in just over half a year. Such a growth rate is rare in the history of the Asura Sect over the past few decades.

As he walked along, Zhuge Xiang keenly noticed that many disciples were gathered in twos and threes, chatting. He vaguely heard words like "Demon Wolf" and "mission," but Zhuge Xiang didn't pay much attention to them. Now that he was back, Zhuge Xiang just wanted to rest as soon as possible.

Cultivation allows no room for slackness. Having finally reached the Body Tempering Realm and even equipped with the Five-Star Magic Artifact, the Sword of Attack and Kill, Zhuge Xiang must maintain his leveling speed. Although he now needs a full 150,000 experience points to advance to the Qi Cultivation Realm Second Layer, it is precisely because of this that he cannot afford to slack off.

"Zhuge Xiang is back..." It has to be said that Zhuge Xiang's reputation on Green Bamboo Peak was still strong. As soon as he returned to Green Bamboo Peak, his disciples all stepped aside to watch him intently and whispered among themselves.

"I've barely seen him in the past six months, and I have no idea how far his abilities have come."

"Is that even a question? He reached the Body Tempering Realm half a year ago, so naturally he's even stronger now. Can't you sense the killing intent emanating from him?"

"This killing intent is terrifying. How many Monster Beast has he killed? At least eight hundred, if not a thousand? Otherwise, how could he possess such a terrifying killing intent? I'm getting goosebumps all over."

Indeed, over the past six months, Zhuge Xiang has relied on killing to improve his strength. His training over the past six months has been a bloody journey. Although he did not consciously control it, the strong killing intent on Zhuge Xiang still naturally emerged, which Human Heart.

In the Courtyard, Niu Geng's Yin Gu Pot was placed in the Courtyard. Poisonous Fog drifted out, and the Poisonous Creatures cultivated in the Courtyard crawled out one by one, heading towards the Yin Gu Pot in the center. In the past six months, Niu Geng, relying on a cultivation speed five times that of ordinary people, also reached the Qi Cultivation Realm Seventh Layer. What is even more commendable is that in the past six months, Niu Geng's research on Poisonous Creatures has not fallen behind.

Each time Niu Geng went down the mountain for training, he would use the Yin Gu Pot to train a large number of Gu worms. These Gu worms were then raised in his Courtyard, where they were repeatedly made to fight, devour, mutate, and evolve. Although the number of Gu worms decreased, they became stronger and stronger...

Niu Geng's Five Poisons Palm technique had reached a level of Mastery Level, with his palms completely covered in deadly poison. Wearing a pair of Demon Python gloves, he carefully observed the Poisonous Creatures around the Yin Gu Pot. However, these Gu worms, which had been frantically crawling towards the Yin Gu Pot, suddenly became restless and ignored the Poisonous Fog emanating from the pot, fleeing in panic and hiding.

Raising his head, Niu Geng looked at Zhuge Xiang, who was walking into the Courtyard exuding a strong killing intent. He extinguished the Flame under the Yin Gu Pot and said, "Could you at least restrain your killing intent when you come? My little darlings are terrified of you. Every time you come, your killing intent is always a bit stronger."

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to be Gu Refining here," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, offering words of apology but without any real remorse.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave again this time?" Niu Geng was naturally not angry with Zhuge Xiang. He welcomed Zhuge Xiang into his room and asked.

"No rush this time. I need to go to the Quest Hall to find some suitable missions, and I also need to choose a suitable martial arts manual from the Martial Arts Pavilion," Zhuge Xiang replied, shaking his head.

Sensing the aura emanating from Niu Geng, Zhuge Xiang nodded in approval. Niu Geng was at the Qi Cultivation Realm Seventh Layer. The Nine Aperture Profound Pill indeed had the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous. Of course, Niu Geng's hard work was the most important factor in his current cultivation level.

"Choosing martial arts from the Martial Arts Pavilion? Could it be that you've already reached the Body Tempering Realm?" Zhuge Xiang's answer made Niu Geng's eyes widen.

Although rumors circulated that Zhuge Xiang had reached the Body Tempering Realm after his battle with Zhang Kuang six months ago, Niu Geng, Zhuge Xiang's closest friend, knew the truth. Staring at Zhuge Xiang, Niu Geng shook his head. "For the past six months, I've been cultivating like crazy. I thought my growth rate was already very fast, but compared to you, I realize I'm nothing. You're a freak."

"Don't underestimate yourself. While refining poison, you've already reached the Qi Cultivation Realm Seventh Layer in just half a year. That's quite impressive," Zhuge Xiang replied with a smile.

"The further you progress in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to break through. In half a year, I've gone from the Qi Cultivation Realm First Layer Qi Cultivation Realm Seventh Layer. If I can successfully break through to the Body Tempering Realm in half a year, I'll be satisfied."

If others heard Niu Geng say that he had broken through to the Body Tempering Realm in a year, they would surely exclaim that he was a genius. However, in front of Zhuge Xiang, Niu Geng shook his head, feeling that his speed was far from enough.

"By the way, you haven't been back for so long. You've already broken through to the Body Tempering Realm. A major event has happened in our sect these past few days. Are you aware of it?" Niu Geng suddenly asked Zhuge Xiang, as if he had remembered something.

"Something big?" Zhuge Xiang looked at Niu Geng in confusion, then shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"A few days ago, many disciples who went down the mountain for training were killed or injured by the Demon Wolf. According to the sect's investigation, the number of Demon Wolf Pack has increased dramatically more than a hundred miles down the mountain, far exceeding the limit. Therefore, the sect has issued a large-scale mission in the past few days, summoning disciples above the Body Tempering Realm to carry out a cleanup operation. Not only are there high rewards of Spirit Stone Coin, but there are also Sect Contribution Points," Niu Geng said concisely to Zhuge Xiang.

Monster Beast roam freely in the Endless Mountain Range. How could the Asura Sect, one of the nine major sects, sit idly by and watch Monster Beast roam at its doorstep? In fact, the existence of these Monster Beast was deliberately left behind and even cultivated by the Asura Sect Headquarters, so that its disciples would have a place to train.

However, training is one thing. If the number and strength of the Monster Beast exceed a certain limit, the Sect will inevitably launch a purge. Just like more than half a year ago, when the Asura Warship that Zhuge Xiang and his group were on was attacked by Demon Spirit, the Sect quickly dispatched powerful True Disciple to not only bring Zhuge Xiang and the others back, but also reportedly launched a purge in the Endless Mountain Range, killing more than a dozen Demon Spirit.

This time it wasn't Demon Spirit, but Monster Beast, so the sect issued a large-scale mission to exterminate it, while also giving the disciples a chance to gain experience.

"Sect Contribution Points? That's a good thing!" Zhuge Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard Niu Geng's words.

Whether it's a sect mission or a mission undertaken by other disciples, the common reward is Spirit Stone Coin, the unified currency of the Cultivation World. However, there is an even better reward in sect missions: Contribution Points. Spirit Stone Coin can be used in the sect's Trade Hall to purchase all sorts of Magic Artifact, materials, Pill, and so on. These are generally ordinary items, but truly good items require not only Spirit Stone Coin but also a certain level of Sect Contribution Points.

The truly valuable items from the sect aren't something you can buy just by having money. Two months ago, while strolling around the Trade Hall, Zhuge Xiang spotted a pair of Magic Artifact wings. Although they had no offensive power, for Deity Transformation Stage disciples, the value of Flying Magic Artifact far surpassed that of other Magic Artifact. Unfortunately, those Magic Artifact wings not only cost a full 100,000 Spirit Stone Coin, but also required a whopping 10,000 Sect Contribution Points.

"Can you take me on this mission? Disciples who accept sect missions can bring one additional disciple below the Body Tempering Realm. If you bring them back safely when you submit the mission, you'll even get a bonus. I've already reached the Qi Cultivation Realm Seventh Layer, and with my poison skills, I should be able to help you," Niu Geng said, seeing Zhuge Xiang's interested look. He knew Niu Geng would accept the mission.

"Alright..." For more than half a year, Zhuge Xiang had never gone down the mountain to train with Niu Geng. This opportunity was rare, not only for the reward bonus, but also because, as Niu Geng said, his poison could indeed help him.

"By the way, it would be better to do this mission with a few trustworthy friends. Lu Yuling announced a few days ago that she has broken through to the Body Tempering Realm," Zhuge Xiang agreed, and Niu Geng, with a happy look on his face, then spoke up.

"What? She has already broken through to the Body Tempering Realm?" Zhuge Xiang's expression was filled with surprise.

For the past six months, he had been coming and going in a hurry, only exchanging brief words with Niu Geng each time. Therefore, Zhuge Xiang had barely seen Lu Yuling during this time. He had fought for a full six months before finally breaking through to the Body Tempering Realm, but unexpectedly, she had done it a few days faster than him? It seemed she had obtained something from the Ice Maiden's Abode that allowed her to rapidly increase her cultivation?
