New Secret Base

"You really received the notification?" Luo Jun's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately smiled and said, "Quick, hurry to the Chaos Mission Zone in the Experiment Building and enter the mission in front of the teacher on duty!"

"Understood!" Ailongtan nodded and was about to leave when Luo Jun called him back.

"Hold your phone."

"Oh right..." Ailongtan nodded, took the phone, and left the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, this Chaos Key can actually be used by Summoned Creature... Luo Jun smiled slightly. With this thing, Old Ai can really completely replace him, so it seems that he doesn't necessarily have to stay in this school.

I just don't know how difficult Tier B Mission will be for Old Yu Ai.

With some random thoughts swirling in his mind, Luo Jun quickly tidied himself up, waited for the Cooldown Time to finish, activated the cloak's invisibility function, and quietly left the dormitory.

After a long and winding journey, Luo Jun returned to Ningdong City. It was already dawn, and he began to stroll around the bustling city center discreetly, focusing on real estate agencies and older buildings. He didn't make himself visible, simply looking at the location, layout, and price.

After wandering around aimlessly all day, in the evening, he received a message from Ailongtan in his mind.

"My Great Master, I have arrived!"

"Oh?" Luo Jun asked, "How was it? Was the mission difficult? You weren't injured, were you?"

"It's alright..." Ailongtan reported, "It was a mission to escape a monster. I and a dozen other participants were teleported to a huge maze where a powerful monster was chasing us. Everyone Divine Ability, and as long as we could survive for ten hours, we would be considered successful."

"The maze also contains various treasure chests and traps; the final reward depends on what you get from those chests."

"That sounds quite interesting." Luo Jun nodded. "What about the final evaluation? How do I claim my reward?"

"It's a good evaluation overall," Ailongtan replied. "I've obtained a Fine-level and a Rare-level Noble Phantasm. I'll hand them over to my master when I get back."

"No need. Since you got it through a mission, keep it for yourself. I'm not at school, you go back to your dorm first. Tomorrow's the weekend, let's go out and take care of some things."

"Received!" Ailongtan's tone perfectly captured the essence of Corporate Slave.

Meanwhile, in another dormitory, Ling Xin was sitting on her bed, holding the Legendary Combination Module she had collected the night before, and using it on two Epic Treasure Item of different forms.

These two Epic Treasure Item, though different in appearance, have similar functions, both used to increase the success rate of breakthroughs. Under the illumination of the Legendary Combination Module, they quickly emitted the same color of light and then slowly merged together.

"Success!" Holding up the newly fused treasure, Ling Xin's voice was filled with joy. "It really is Escort Spirit Talisman!"

Since returning from the black market, she had been resting in bed. After getting enough sleep, she circulated her vital energy, relaxed her muscles and bones, and adjusted her body to its best condition. Only after everything was ready that evening did she finally synthesize the Escort Spirit Talisman.

She's ready to break through!

She had been stuck at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment for a long time and had long reached a bottleneck. She affixed the Escort Spirit Talisman to her forehead and began to guide her vital energy to Marrow Cleansing, determined to break through to the Seventh Layer the Body Refinement Realm!

Although for most Cultivators, the Protective Qi Strength energy is more important than their physical strength, so improving to the Foundation Establishment Realm is more worthwhile than improving to the Body Refinement Realm.

However, Ling Xin, as a highly intelligent genius, deeply understands the importance of Root Bone. The Protective Qi Strength is only an external change; strengthening one's Root Bone is more fundamental and requires a longer period of adaptation. It would be best to break through first!

As the vital energy circulated throughout her body, Ling Xin could feel her meridians expanding continuously, and the vital energy constantly permeating her limbs and bones, making her body stronger.

But she knew that these enhancements were only temporary. If she couldn't pass the final hurdle, all the enhancements she had gained would be quickly lost during the upcoming lockdown, and she would have to start all over again.

Finally, the Last One Sunday has arrived; success hinges on this moment!

As the last inch of vital energy merged in, Ling Xin's Sea of Consciousness, meridians Qi Sea fell into a brief silence. Then, it seemed as if she had faintly broken through some kind of limitation, and all the previous enhancements were instantly consolidated!

Then, a new surge of vital energy rose from the Qi Sea and began to circulate and grow stronger through the meridians!

It worked!!

Ling Xin's eyes widened in surprise. Just now, she had successfully broken through to the Seventh Layer the Body Refinement Realm!

She finally broke through the realm that had been holding her back for so long!

Next, once this realm is stabilized, and a similar treasure is found, the final level of the Foundation Establishment Realm can be successfully broken through. Then, the Peak will be one step closer!

Father... I am growing stronger, and one day I will fulfill your dream!

"This is it..." The real estate agent opened the door, revealing a house that wasn't large, but had a rather nice layout, and introduced it with a smile:

"The apartment has an internal area of 67 square meters, two bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom. It's only 1,200 yuan per month, with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent paid in advance."

"Not bad..." Luo Jun walked into the house and nodded slightly. "Does the landlord have any additional requirements?"

"The landlord's family lives abroad and is unlikely to return. This house is entirely managed by our company. As long as you are comfortable living here, we have no additional requirements. If any furniture is damaged, we will be responsible for repairs unless it is caused by human error..."

Luo Jun nodded. "Alright, I'll pay a year's rent first, let's sign the contract now..."

The agent beamed with delight. "Great! I'll get it done for you right away!"

After completing the formalities and signing the contract, Luo Jun received the key to the house. He locked the door, sat on the sofa in the living room, and then Ailongtan appeared beside him.

"Well done, Old Ai."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Ailongtan bowed slightly. "However, although I used illusion magic to give him false information, if they verify it later, they will still find something amiss."

"Don't worry," Luo Jun said with a smile. "This agency is privately owned and not very legitimate. The sealed files might not be touched for a year or two... Let's wait until we find out."

As he spoke, Luo Jun peeled off his mask, revealing his true colors.

That's right. Before this, Luo Jun had been wearing Imposter Mask. His face, the name and phone number he provided were all fake, and even the photocopy of the ID card that the agent took away was a blank piece of paper. For this reason, he even had Ailongtan hide invisibly and cast an illusion spell on the agent, making him complete the formalities in a daze.

Of course, the money given was real cash, so Luo Jun didn't cheat anyone in that respect. It's just that Luo Jun's identity couldn't be found in the rental information.

He did this in order to find himself a secluded place to stay outside the academy.

In the future, he and Ailongtan might frequently switch identities. If they were always at school, even with Assassin's Cloak, it would be easy for the teachers and classmates with considerable skills to notice something amiss. It would be different outside of school, where he would be surrounded by ordinary people. Given the coldness of modern neighborhood relations, almost no one would notice anything wrong with him.

In this way, he and Old Ai, one on campus and the other off campus, can switch identities at any time, which is much more flexible!
