A Trial Mission Far from Home

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Yunfan interrupted him:

"Young Qin, you only cared about her because of her status back then. Now that she can go to the world beyond the Land of the Four Directions, and the Origin of Fire of the Extreme Arms Holy Land has been taken by powerful outsiders, she has no value anymore."

There are plenty of valuable women in the world; there's no need to waste your energy on her.

Qin Han's throat moved, but he didn't speak.

After a moment, he nodded and said:

"What Elder Hua says is true. Then we won't stay in the Western Region. I'll set off now."

The Land of the Four Directions has entered an unprecedentedly lively state.

Every moment, countless flying boats are heading towards the Extreme Arms Holy Land.

Whether out of curiosity, excitement, or high expectations, they were full of confidence.

"The unknown isn't necessarily a good thing. Who knows how much fortune and how much misfortune it might bring? Leaving home, if trouble comes your way, sigh."

Some people sighed at this.

"Only by venturing out and exploring can you have more possibilities. Staying put is safe, but the chances are too slim. Besides, what's wrong with taking a chance? What if you succeed?"

Some people, however, oppose this viewpoint directly, which is exactly the opposite.

Faced with this opportunity to expand outwards, the vast majority of forces, regardless of size, are discussing it.

After all, the opportunity to go out is not like resources, which are controlled by a few, but is available to everyone.

On the other hand, there was not much controversy surrounding the Five Symbols Sect.

The outside world is dangerous and far from the sect. The sect has limited strength and manpower, so it's difficult to get help if something happens.

The disciples wholeheartedly agreed. The Five Symbols Sect was merely a tiny existence in this vast world; if they wanted to venture out and make their way in the world, they still needed to be strong enough.

The problem they now face is that the Five Symbols Sect is not strong enough.

Fortunately, the recent resources and training environment have been helping to solve this problem, allowing them to become stronger quickly.

After a while, they met again.

Go out? What's so good about going out?

Make a fortune quietly, elevate your cultivation level silently, improve by three levels and say you've improved by one, improve by five and a half levels, how wonderful!

On the other hand, with the help of the system.

Lu Changzhi could also easily view information about most of his accomplices in the sect.

"It seems that this time, the sect leader is truly in seclusion."

After observing the changes in Cang Wenyu's cultivation level, Lu Changzhi nodded with great satisfaction.

"The effect of this cultivation crystal is truly remarkable."

Although the improvement for me was relatively limited.

However, for most people in the sect, the effect was remarkable.

After just a few days, the cultivation levels of the sect leader, elders, and some of the sect's founding ancestors have visibly improved.

As long as the supply from Xue Lang remains constant, the progress of the Five Symbols Sect members can be described as rapid as advancing by leaps and bounds.

Just then, a system notification suddenly sounded in Lu Changzhi's ear:

"Jin Fugui's trial mission has been confirmed. Would you like to view it?"

"This time it was pretty fast."

Lu Changzhi said softly:

"Check."

As soon as the voice faded, a flash of light appeared, and a page popped up.

[Jin Fugui's Disciple Trial Mission]

[Mission Objective: Travel to Mountain and Sea Village and reside there for six months.]

[Task Restriction: Integrate into the village; do not reveal your cultivation level unless absolutely necessary.]

[Task Reward: Disciple Jin Fugui's Exclusive System.]

"Are you going to live in the village for six months?"

Looking at the details of this trial mission, Lu Changzhi somewhat surprised.

"This task spans quite a long period of time."

After speaking, Lu Changzhi's gaze fell on the name of the village.

Mountain and Sea Village.

It must be said, it's a very grand name.

"Could it be some kind of extraordinary village, seemingly ordinary on the surface but actually harboring hidden secrets, or perhaps something that is inherently complex?"

Several speculations flashed through Lu Changzhi's mind.

However, upon closer reflection, I couldn't recall ever seeing this village in the jade talisman I received from Ancestor Liang.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Lu Changzhi shook his head.

To find out the specifics, go and see for yourself.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi called out to the system:

"Displays the location of Mountain and Sea Village."

As the voice faded, a beam of light stretched from the horizon towards the distant horizon.

"System, this Mountain and Sea Village isn't within the territory of the Land of the Four Directions?"

"Yes." The system replied upon hearing Lu Changzhi's question.

"Mountain and Sea Village is located within the territory of the South Island Province."

"South Island Province?"

Lu Changzhi said softly.

He remembered that Sun Yi was the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion 'South Island Province branch.

South Island Province, also known simply as South Province, is not the name of the outer continent, but rather a part of its southern territory. It is called South Island Province because it contains many islands.

Besides the South Island Province, there are four other continents: East, West, North, and Central. The division of the Land of the Four Directions and four areas can be vaguely seen as a result of this system of division.

However, unlike the Land of the Four Directions, where the strength is relatively evenly distributed among the major regions, there, the Central Province is the sole hegemon, while the other four continents each flourish.

The Five Elements Sacred Physique Xiang Li, whom Sun Yi mentioned earlier, was born into the Xiang clan, a prominent Xiang Clan in Central Province.

"It seems I really will have to go on a long trip."

With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi didn't dwell on the specific location, but instead got up and went to find Jin Fugui.

"Master."

Upon Lu Changzhi arrive, Jin Fugui bowed and spoke.

"How is your cultivation progress lately?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"Thank you for the resources, Master." Jin Fugui expressed his gratitude, and then summarized his cultivation progress and insights over the past period in points.

After listening, Lu Changzhi nodded slightly and said:

"Not bad, there's a lot of room for improvement."

He paused, then changed the subject:

"Right now, there's something I need you to do, it'll take about six months, you can start preparing now."

Upon hearing this, Fugui immediately nodded in agreement. Without asking what it was about, he quickly returned to his house, tidied up, picked up the jade talisman, and temporarily explained the daily affairs on the peak.

At the same time, Lu Changzhi called out to the system:

"System, destination: Mountain and Sea Village (Trial Mission). Activate navigation."

After the words were spoken, a system voice sounded a moment later:

"Please proceed on foot to the Extreme Arms Holy Land, then take the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion - Land of the Four Directions Teleportation Array to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion - Xiping Domain Wind and Cloud Prefecture Teleportation Array, and then travel 800 li in a direction 30 degrees south of west..."

"They even considered teleportation arrays?"

Lu Changzhi's eyes lit up.

This navigation system has even thoughtfully kept up with the times.

"Master."

Jin Fugui had finished his work and returned to Lu Changzhi's side.

Lu Changzhi nodded and placed his hand on Jin Fugui's shoulder.

"Get ready, let's set off now."

Building the teleportation array is too labor-intensive, so the other half has not yet been built.

Mu Fan was still in the Extreme Arms Holy Land; he decided to try bringing people Descent directly.

"Master, I'm preparing..."

Jin Fugui responded, but before he could finish speaking, the two disappeared from the spot.

Jin Fugui didn't continue speaking. His gaze swept around him and downwards, and his expression suddenly changed.

"With a mere gesture, the world can be transformed... This..."

Jin Fugui looked at the calm-looking Lu Changzhi, his shock beyond words:

"Is this how Master works?!"
