Chapter 24: A bit tricky

Just when Li Xun thought he was going to return disappointed, a surprised voice came from behind him. "Senior brother Li!"

"Hmm?"

Li Xun turned his head to take a look. Behind him stood a slightly chubby man in the inner sect uniform.

At this moment, the man was looking at Li Xun with a pleasantly surprised expression. "Junior brother, it's you...?"

Li Xun took a glance at the chubby man and felt a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. "Senior brother Li, it's me!"

"Pang Yuan!"

The man pointed at himself and excitedly said, "Don't tell me you've forgotten? Twenty days ago, you gave me some guidance in the scripture pavilion and advised me to switch to a different cultivation technique. Thanks to your help, I was able to reach the mid-level of the Qi Refining realm in just half a month!"

"Oh!"

Li Xun uttered a sound of acknowledgment and said with a smile, "So it's Junior Brother Pang."

"Is senior brother here today to pick up a task at the Azure Cloud Hall?"

Pang Yuan looked at Li Xun and then at the wall behind him curiously. "Yes."

Li Xun nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the Azure Cloud insignia on Pang Yuan's chest.

"Like the Enforcement Hall, disciples who join the Azure Cloud Hall also have a symbol on their left chest," said Pang Yuan, nodding excitedly. "Did Junior Brother join the Azure Cloud Hall?"

"Yes," replied Li Xun, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It seemed that his previous investment was paying off.

At present, the Enforcement Hall had Lu Changhe, and the Azure Cloud Hall had this Pang Yuan junior brother. Given time, he would probably have control over the entire Xuan Yang Sect. Even if he wasn't the Sect Leader, his words would likely be more influential than the Sect Leader's.

"I want to find a mission to hunt down a demonic cultivator. Ideally, the target's cultivation should be at the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm or at the beginning of the Elemental Spirit Realm," Li Xun said after a moment of contemplation.

The main reason he wanted to undertake this mission was twofold.

Firstly, he had never truly fought against someone since he began cultivating. Lacking combat experience was a major taboo in the cultivation world. If he encountered a strong opponent in the future, he could easily lose due to a lack of battle experience.

Secondly, hunting down other people could result in killing them and taking their belongings, which was much more profitable than collecting spirit herbs. Furthermore, he had the Spirit Navigating Boat, a flying spiritual treasure.

"May I ask, is there any mission about that?"

"No problem!"

Pang Yuan patted his chest and confidently declared, "This is a small matter, I'll take care of it, just wait a moment, Senior Brother!"

After saying that, Pang Yuan turned around and left. It didn't take long before he came back with a jade tablet in his left hand and a portrait in his right.

"Senior Brother, what do you think of this task?"

Li Xun took the jade tablet and quickly glanced at the contents.

"Hunt down Liu Sandao, a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect.

Time: One month.

Location: Liu Sandao has just escaped into the Canglang Mountain two days ago.

Reminder: Liu Sandao's cultivation has already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm and he could break through to the Elemental Spirit Realm at any time. Disciples below the Elemental Spirit Realm should take caution when accepting the task!

Reward: Five top-grade spirit stones!"

"This one is good."

Li Xun expressed his satisfaction.

Five pieces of high-quality spirit stones are already a huge sum among inner disciples, not to mention being able to obtain the opponent's wealth after killing Liu Sandao.

Combined, it may be possible to exchange for Spirit Communication Pills!

And the value of a Spirit Communication Pill is only seven or eight pieces of high-quality spirit stones.

"That's it."

Li Xun took the jade card and also took the portrait, opened it and took a look, and said to Pang Yuan with a smile, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

In the portrait.

There was an image of a fierce and evil man.

This person was none other than Liu Sandao, the target of Li Xun's mission.

"Senior Brother, no need to thank me. In the future, when you come to Qingyun Hall to receive a mission, just come to me directly, Pang Yuan," Pang Yuan said with a smile.

Li Xun nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then left Qingyun Hall.

After leaving Xuan Yang Sect.

Li Xun found a place where no one was around and summoned his Spirit Navigating Boat.

After entering the boat, he casually threw a few pieces of spirit stones into it, embedding them inside the boat.

With the help of spirit stones, the Spirit Navigating Boat roared and turned into a stream of light, soaring into the sky.

In just half an hour, the Spirit Navigating Boat had crossed over six thousand li (6.000 Miles).

Canglang Mountain is already in sight.

"Is this the advantage of a flying magic treasure?" Li Xun couldn't help but be amazed.

If he were to ride a spiritual horse, the journey of six thousand miles would take at least two days, and even if he used a flying sword, it wouldn't save him too much time. After all, as a Elemental Spirit Realm cultivator, using a flying sword consumed too much of his energy. He could only fly a limited distance before having to stop and rest to maintain his peak state.

However, with the use of the Spirit Navigating Boat, he had no such worries. In just half an hour or so, he had already arrived at Canglang Mountain.

This saved him a lot of time.

If everything went smoothly, he might be able to kill Liu Sandao today and rush back to the sect.

"I wonder where Liu Sandao is hiding?" Li Xun arrived above Canglang Mountain and slowed down the speed of the Spirit-Steering Boat. He looked down and could only see the continuous mountains.

Then, he opened the portrait of Liu Sandao in his hand and frowned slightly.

In such a large area of mountains, it was like finding a needle in a haystack to find one person. Even if he had spiritual sense, it was useless. After all, his spiritual sense could only cover a radius of more than a thousand meters.

"It's a bit tricky." Li Xun's brows gradually furrowed, and just as he was at a loss...

In his mind, he suddenly heard a prompt from the system.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering a white investable target. Investing in one Spirit-Enhancing Pill can reward ten years of cultivation!"
