Half a month later in the morning, Mu Qingxiao sat cross-legged on a cliff at the back mountain on the west side of Heaven's Wall City. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and his eyes glowed.
"As expected of a high-rank Immortal Martial Plane. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi is so dense. Even if I don't have any opportunities, I can break through to the sixth stage of Void Refinement in half a year just by relying on the spirit herbs of the Pill Condensation Hall."
For ordinary cultivators who had reached the Void Refinement stage, it was very normal for them to break through once every few decades just by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
Take the ordinary elders of the Heaven's Wall City for example. The cultivation techniques they cultivated and the resources they had had limited their growth.
However, Mu Qingxiao was different. Whether it was his cultivation technique, bloodline, or resources, they were all incomparable to others.
In Heaven's Wall City, apart from Sect Master Perfected Han Su, Sword-Bearing Elder Perfected Ziyin, and Pill Condensation Elder Perfected Huanxu, Mu Qingxiao had the most resources.
Ordinary cultivators could only break through to the next stage after absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. However, he could break through in half a year by relying on spirit herbs and Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi.
Of course, the higher one's cultivation, the longer it would take.
Standing on the cliff, Mu Qingxiao looked around at the fairyland-like scenery and sighed. "The plot has already begun. It seems that I have to find a reason to go down the mountain."
Half of the Yuheng on him was obtained by Mu Qingxiao from the Pipa Spirit in the hidden valley of Qinchuan.
As for the other half, if the information was correct, it was from an Earthbound Spirit called Leisure Manor on Mount Bi to the north of Heaven's Wall City.
Naturally, he had to complete the mission as soon as possible so that he could feel more at ease. Things might change if he delayed. This was not the result he wanted.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxiao turned into a beam of sword light and headed for the Sword-Bearing Hall.
The Monster Slaying Hall at the outermost perimeter of the Sword-Bearing Hall was the most lively place in Heaven's Wall City. Both inner and outer disciples gathered here.
The Monster Slaying Hall had been in Heaven's Wall City's Sword-Bearing Hall for a long time, at least a hundred years.
Ever since Ziyin Spiritual Master came to Heaven's Wall City, he had set up the Demon Slaying Hall outside the Sword Holding Hall to warn his disciples that it was the duty of a cultivator to slay demons and save the common people.
Within a hundred miles of Heaven's Wall City, if there was a problem that ordinary people couldn't solve, it would be presented in cursive script to the Monster Slaying Hall.
After the disciples completed the mission, not only would they be rewarded by the City Lord, those who performed well would also be rewarded by the Heaven's Wall City.
For example, last time, Sect Leader Daoist Master Hansu had asked Mu Qingxiao to refine pills to reward outstanding disciples.
Hence, the disciples of the Heaven Wall City who were rather powerful would all come here to accept missions and descend the mountain to slay demons and devils, regardless of whether it was for the sake of rewards or glory.
Mu Qingxiao came here to pick a few missions so that she could find a reason to leave the mountain.
Although he was a Core Formation elder, he still needed a good reason to go down the mountain. Otherwise, if he repeatedly went down the mountain, it was inevitable that people would gossip.
"Elder Ning Dan …"
"Elder Ning Dan …"
"Good morning, Elder Ning Dan …"
Even though it was early in the morning, many disciples had gathered in the Monster Slaying Hall, some strong and some weak.
Mu Qingxiao was dressed in white. His face was like jade, and he had the demeanor of an immortal. After arriving at the Monster Slaying Hall, he seemed out of place with the disciples in Daoist robes around him. He instantly attracted the attention of all the disciples.
The disciples who recognized him all went up to greet him. Mu Qingxiao responded with a faint smile and quickly came to the information panel on the left.
The information panel was usually filled with the latest missions. He looked up.
"Thieves have appeared in Lin 'an City. The nobles and the City Lord's Mansion have been robbed frequently. Even with more guards, we can't find any clues. Immortals, please lend us a helping hand."
"In a city affiliated to Lin 'an City, an old woman in her nineties died naked on the streets. Her death was extremely tragic. Demons are suspected to be behind this …"
"In Straw Village, a sow screamed in the middle of the night …"
Looking at the missions on the information panel, Mu Qingxiao's eyes couldn't help but twitch. Suddenly, he frowned and his gaze fell on a piece of information at the bottom.
"In Jade Mountain's Cuiping Village, young men have died frequently recently. The victims all had a condition. They were all in a daze on the day of the incident …"
Seeing the words "Jade Mountain", Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a smile. Jade Mountain's Cuiping Village was not far from Leisure Villa.
A few decades ago, Leisure Villa was a villa that occupied a large area, and Jade Mountain was just outside the villa.
However, after the people in the villa were massacred, the people in Jade Mountain felt unlucky, so they moved to the foot of the mountain. Leisure Villa gradually became a mass grave.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxiao directly took down the cursive script and walked into the Monster Slaying Hall.
When he arrived at the Monster Slaying Hall, he saw a young man in Daoist robes sitting inside. He was helping the disciples register their mission information.
The moment he saw the young man, Mu Qingxiao was slightly stunned. Wasn't he Ling Yue, the head disciple of Ziyin Taoist Master who had entered Heaven's Wall City with him?
When Mu Qingxiao arrived, the disciples who were queuing up to register all made way for him, showing great respect.
Mu Qingxiao did not stand on ceremony. He walked to the front of the line and said, "Ling Yue, I haven't seen you for a few years. You're already in the Foundation Establishment stage. Not bad."
Ling Yue raised his head and smiled when he saw Mu Qingxiao. He quickly stood up and was about to bow.
Mu Qingxiao waved his hand and handed over the cursive script that recorded the mission information. He said, "No need for formalities. I'm here to go down the mountain. Help me register."
"Mm, okay."
Taking the cursive script, Ling Yue nodded slightly and began to register for him.
At this moment, Mu Qingxiao asked curiously, "Do you usually help the disciples register here?"
"The matters here are usually handled by the maidservants of the Sword Holding Hall. Something happened to the maidservant today, so I'm here to take over for a day."
"I see. By the way, how is the child that Ziyin Perfected Cultivator brought back half a month ago?"
Hearing this, Ling Yue smiled and said, "That child doesn't seem to remember the past. He's recuperating in the hall. As for what will happen in the future, we'll have to wait for Master to come out of seclusion before making a decision."
According to the information from Ling Yue, it seemed that Ziyin Perfected Cultivator had not come out of seclusion yet. Han Yunxi did not remember the past, so Ziyin Perfected Cultivator must have sealed his memory in advance.
The annihilation of Wumeng Spiritual Valley was too heavy a blow for a ten-year-old child.
"Elder Ning Dan, do you know that child?"
"Half a month ago, when Ziyin Perfected Cultivator brought him back, I was there."
A few minutes later, Ling Yue stopped writing and said, "Elder, I've already registered for you."
"Mm, this Earth Spirit Pill is for you. I think you'll be able to use it soon."
Nodding slightly, Mu Qingxiao took out a yellow pill from his storage space and handed it over.
Hearing about the Earth Spirit Pill, the surrounding disciples all forgot to come over, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
