Lingyun Sect, the location of the Sect Affairs Hall.
"Senior Brother Xu, you're here to take on sect missions again? I remember you only just completed one of Elder Jin's missions not long ago. Why not rest for a while?"
At the entrance, a lean figure clad in white robes entered the Sect Affairs Hall, and disciples immediately recognized him.
This person was Xu Xia, whom Li Qing had been secretly watching. He had a fairly handsome face, a tall and slender build, and an air as tranquil as still water.
Upon hearing the question, Xu Xia cupped his fists toward the disciple on duty ahead of him in the Affairs Hall. "I didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to be on duty at the Affairs Hall today. This brother's talent is dull, so I can only take on more sect missions and accumulate contributions in hopes of exchanging them for a second Foundation Establishment Pill."
"My cultivation has now stalled at the great perfection of the Qi Refining stage. Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, I absolutely would not dare rashly attempt Foundation Establishment."
Junior Brother Lin smiled kindly, showing his understanding, while inwardly feeling considerable admiration for Senior Brother Xu.
After accumulating so many contributions to exchange for one Foundation Establishment Pill, he had ultimately failed to establish his foundation. If it had been him, he might have sunk into despair for a long time.
Yet Senior Brother Xu had quickly pulled himself together and become a mission fanatic once more, constantly coming and going from the Sect Affairs Hall, accepting all manner of missions to accumulate sect Contribution Points for a second Foundation Establishment Pill.
This was the greatest difference between sect disciples and rogue cultivators outside!
Outside, a single Foundation Establishment Pill was something sought across the world
