Ever since he entered the sect, Su Zimo had not left the sect nor had he taken on any missions.
Now that he was going to leave the sect, Su Zimo intended to take on a mission and complete it so that he could earn some contribution points for the sect as well.
Arriving at the mission stele of Weapon Peak, Su Zimo raised his head and looked over.
The mission stele was split into two sections. The upper section was for the missions of the five peaks and disciples of the five peaks could accept them. The lower section was for Weapon Peak disciples and was specially designed for them.
The higher the difficulty of the missions, the more contribution points they would be rewarded.
Great Rock Forest.
It was a place dozens of miles northwest of Misty Peak where Pure Gold Ore was produced – it was an important spirit material for refining flying swords.
The mission to search for the spirit material wasn't too difficult. However, the location of the mission was in Great Rock Forest and the difficulty increased exponentially. In fact, it was quite dangerous as well.
As long as it was a forest, there would definitely be birds and beasts.
At the periphery of the forest, there were mostly wild beasts or weak spirit beasts. However, the deeper one went into the forest, the stronger the spirit beasts would be. In fact, there might even be spirit demons in the core region!
Once targeted by a spirit demon, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not dare to escape unscathed.
And this Pure Gold Ore mine was located in the core region of Great Rock Forest!
This was a mission of Weapon Peak and it had been on the mission stele for some time now without anyone daring to take it on.
Great Rock Forest was the closest forest to Ethereal Sect.
Initially, Su Zimo had intended to head there as well and thus took on the mission.
There was a sleepy old man next to the mission submission desk.
Su Zimo found out from Xue Yi that this was one of the three elders of Weapon Peak, Elder Liu.
The three elders of Weapon Peak were the disheveled old man, the gatekeeper of the Spirit Weapon Chamber, Elder Li and this Elder Liu.
In order to be conferred the title of elder in Misty Peak, one had to be at the level of Jin Dan.
Su Zimo came before Elder Liu and handed over his sect badge.
Raising his head, Elder Liu frowned and tossed Su Zimo's sect badge back casually, barking coldly, "You're not allowed to go!"
"Why?" Su Zimo asked.
Elder Liu rolled his strange eyes and said, "Kid, are you stupid? You're only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. Are you going to the Great Rock Forest to die? Even Perfected Qi Refinement Warriors have to team up for this mission! "
"I'm just going to take a look. If there's any danger, I'll definitely leave." Su Zimo smiled.
In truth, even though Great Rock Forest was dangerous, it was not too difficult for Su Zimo who possessed spirit perception.
"If you really encounter danger, do you think you can run away?" Elder Liu curled his lips and said, "Look at your small body! Let me tell you, don't blame me for not warning you if you die outside. "
"Elder, don't worry. I'm a tough guy. I won't die." Su Zimo smiled.
Elder Liu harrumphed coldly and made a record. The mission on the Mission Stele dimmed, indicating that it had been accepted.
Pondering for a moment, Elder Liu took out an intricate paper crane from his storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo. "This is the spirit messenger crane of the sect. If you encounter any danger, you can release this spirit crane."
"Thank you, elder." Su Zimo kept the spirit crane in his storage bag and cupped his fists before leaving Weapon Peak on his sword.
Elder Liu closed his eyes and fell asleep again, muttering, "Juniors these days sure don't know their place."
…
This was the first time Su Zimo left the sect after a month in the sect.
Su Zimo took out the paper crane that Elder Liu gave him and took a look.
Su Zimo had seen a paper crane as such once before.
Back in the capital of Yan Country, Su Zimo was chasing after the one-armed cultivator of Joyful Sect. That person had released a similar paper crane to send news back to the sect.
There were mysterious patterns etched on the paper crane and it could be activated by injecting spirit qi.
Su Zimo could vaguely guess that the paper crane was actually a type of talisman.
Keeping the paper crane, Su Zimo suddenly felt something and frowned.
Someone was following him!
Su Zimo scoffed coldly internally.
If someone was following him the moment he left the sect, there was no doubt that it was an Ethereal Sect disciple.
"Could Little Fatty have been right? Is he trying to cause trouble for me outside? "
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged as he pretended not to notice anything and continued speeding in the direction of Great Rock Forest.
Before long, Su Zimo arrived at the edge of Great Rock Forest.
Along the way, Su Zimo could vaguely sense that there were five people following him and the highest cultivation was even at Level 9 Qi Condensation!
"If these people were really sent by Feng Haoyu, he's truly taking me seriously."
Su Zimo smiled and burrowed into the forest without hesitation.
Entering the forest was akin to returning to Su Zimo's territory. Here, no one was a match for Su Zimo.
Su Zimo retracted his flying sword and sprinted left and right. Before long, he shook off the people behind him and arrived at a secluded spot. Taking off his green robes, he was topless.
A series of crackling sounds could be heard from Su Zimo's body as his tendons and bones rang together. Instantly, he grew to a height of more than two meters. His flesh expanded and his muscles intertwined as his body expanded as well.
The muscles on Su Zimo's face twitched and changed strangely. A moment later, his appearance changed drastically and he turned into a bare-chested burly man with a ferocious expression!
After mastering the first three sections of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Su Zimo could change his appearance and appearance at will such that even his closest kin would not be able to recognize him.
Su Zimo lowered his head and chuckled. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot once more.
…
"Senior Brother Zhou, where did Su Zimo go? Why did we lose him all of a sudden?"
"If you ask me, we should have made a move earlier on. Where are we going to find that lad in Great Rock Forest?"
"Shut up!" Zhou Wei's expression darkened as he scolded softly, "We were too close to the sect earlier on. How could we make a move? If the disciples of the sect saw us, we'll be punished when we return! "
Zhou Wei was a trial disciple of Spirit Peak and was at Level 9 Qi Condensation. Initially, he was quite a figure in Spirit Peak.
Unexpectedly, Feng Haoyu with a mutated spirit root and heaven-defying potential defeated him at Level 7 Qi Condensation.
Zhou Wei was completely subdued by Feng Haoyu's strength.
Even though Zhou Wei was the one who made the decision for this operation, it was with Feng Haoyu's tacit approval.
Other than Zhou Wei who was at Level 9 Qi Condensation, two of the other four were at Level 7 and 8 – that was enough to teach Su Zimo a lesson!
"Let's search carefully. Su Zimo is only at Level 5 Qi Condensation so he can't have gone far. He's definitely at the periphery of Great Rock Forest," Zhou Wei analyzed calmly.
A Spirit Peak disciple asked, "What if that lad ran into Great Rock Forest?"
"That's great. That lad can't blame us if he gets eaten by the spirit beasts," Zhou Wei scoffed coldly.
Another Spirit Peak disciple asked, "If we find Su Zimo, how are we going to deal with him?"
A cold glint flashed through Zhou Wei's eyes as he replied sinisterly, "Between sect disciples, we can't cripple one another's cultivation. However, we can severely injure that lad so badly that he won't be able to get out of bed for a year. That way, he won't be able to participate in the Weapon Peak face-off at the end of the year!"
