Retainer Duty

Wulin Marketplace, residence.

Three days into cultivation, the official retainer Token suddenly trembled.

Li Yuan took out the Token and poured spiritual power into it. A line of text surfaced across its surface.

Tianyue Sect retainer mission, upper-middle rank.

This mission had not been issued by Tianyue Sect itself, but had come from Mingyuan Sect of the Upper Realm. Mingyuan Sect had recently discovered signs of instability in the Lower Realm's space. In certain areas, the spatial barriers had become abnormally thin, possibly connecting to other Small Realms. To prevent the enemy from exploiting Spatial Passages during wartime, spatial monitoring points needed to be set up in multiple vulnerable areas of the Lower Realm.

At each monitoring point, a Spatial Sensing Formation had to be deployed, and Spatial Stabilization Talismans used to reinforce the surrounding spatial barriers, lest the monitoring point be destroyed by spatial fluctuations.

Li Yuan had been assigned three locations.

The western Wasteland of Jing Province, the southern border mountain range of Ling Province, and an abandoned mining valley in the northeastern corner of Yun Province.

The Token contained the coordinates and approximate ranges of all three locations, along with brief records of spatial fluctuations.

After reading through them, Li Yuan's gaze paused over the words "Spatial Stabilization Talisman."

The condition for permanently acquiring the Talisman Domain Spatial Stabilization Affix was to successfully stabilize ten different spatially unstable areas. He had used it once in the Spatial Passage of the Azure Profound Realm before, so his progress already stood at one location.

If he could stabilize all three of these places, it would bring the total to four.

Li Yuan put away the Token, took out the Spatial Stabilization Talismans he had made himself from the Portable Small Realm, then gathered the materials for a Fourth-Order Array
