Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 529 Another Mission

For example, becoming a disciple of this Elder Fang.

After all, the old man in front of them was an elder of the Qingyun Sect, possessing at least the profound cultivation of the Golden Core realm.

If I am fortunate enough to become his disciple, then I will naturally not have to worry too much about being bullied or oppressed by others in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming nervously probed, "I wonder if this disciple has the honor of becoming an elder's disciple?"

Upon hearing Wu Ming's words, Elder Fang was slightly taken aback. He had already prepared several reward plans for Wu Ming, but he never expected that this kid would make such a special request.

Elder Fang sighed inwardly, thinking, "This young Wu is indeed quite extraordinary!"

He paused for a moment, then said with a hint of regret, "Alas, young Wu, you are indeed a talent, qualified to become my disciple."

It's a pity, I already took on a closed-door disciple more than ten years ago.

Upon hearing Elder Fang's earlier words, Wu Ming felt a glimmer of hope. He wondered to himself, "Could it be that I really have a chance to become an elder's disciple?"

However, when he heard the words "closed-door disciple," his newly ignited hope was instantly extinguished.

Wu Ming knew that once a master accepted a disciple as his last disciple, it meant that the master would basically not accept any other disciples in the future.

This undoubtedly sent him a clear signal—it was probably hopeless.

"It is because I am not fortunate enough to receive this honor!"

Wu Ming said with a regretful expression, as if he had missed a precious opportunity.

However, he couldn't think of any other requirements regarding the specifics of the reward.

After all, this was an extra reward, and whether it was good or bad, it wasn't a loss for him.

Seeing Wu Ming's reaction, the old man surnamed Fang roughly understood his thoughts.

After all, if Wu Ming makes too high a demand, it might make him seem too greedy; but if he makes too low a demand, it might seem like the reward isn't substantial enough.

It is evident that Wu Ming is not only a rare talent in cultivation, but also knows how to conduct himself appropriately in interpersonal relationships. This makes the old man surnamed Fang think even more highly of Wu Ming.

Therefore, the elderly man surnamed Fang decided to make the decision himself and reward him with exactly what he needed.

"Since you have no other requests, I will take the liberty of doing it myself."

The old man surnamed Fang smiled and said, then gently waved his sleeve.

In an instant, an exquisite jade bottle appeared before Wu Ming as if by magic.

Wu Ming looked at the jade bottle that had suddenly appeared with some surprise. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took it.

The jade bottle feels warm and smooth to the touch, clearly indicating that it is a treasure of superior quality.

Wu Ming carefully opened the bottle cap, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

When he saw what was in the bottle, his eyes widened in surprise—it contained two Yin Condensation Pills that he had been dreaming of!

Wu Ming never expected that the old man surnamed Fang would so coincidentally give him the pills he desperately needed as a reward.

"I heard from Tang that you used a secret technique during this mission, which damaged your spiritual consciousness. I thought this Yin Condensation Pill would be what you need. Are you satisfied with this reward?"

The elderly man surnamed Fang spoke with a smile and a kind tone.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming was overjoyed. He quickly bowed to Elder Fang and said gratefully:

"Thank you for the reward, Elder. This pill is indeed what I need."

After saying that, he glanced at Tang Shaolong beside him, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Tang Shaolong smiled slightly, which was a response to Wu Ming's gratitude.

Elder Fang nodded in satisfaction when he saw Wu Ming accept the pills, and then said, "I'm glad you're satisfied. Now that we've finished discussing this matter, let's move on to something else."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming felt a pang of anxiety, wondering what Elder Fang would say next.

However, Elder Fang did not give Wu Ming much time to think. He immediately said to Tang Shaolong, "Young Tang, this matter has nothing to do with you. You can go now."

Upon hearing the old man surnamed Fang's words, Tang Shaolong felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He immediately bowed and said:

"Yes, the disciple retire."

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps appearing somewhat hurried.

In fact, Tang Shaolong did not want to continue facing the old man surnamed Fang in front of him.

After all, just now, he had suffered a loss at the hands of this old man and was forced to accept a task that he was very unwilling to take on.

Therefore, being able to leave this place at this moment is undoubtedly a relief for him.

After Tang Shaolong left the palace, the old man surnamed Fang remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"I have a mission for you, which is closely related to Baiye County, where you are stationed. I wonder if you, young Wu, would be interested in participating?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if it was because of the extra reward he had just received, or if there was some other reason.

In short, he inexplicably developed a sense of trust in the elder surnamed Fang in front of him.

Therefore, when he heard Elder Fang mention the mission in Baiye County, Wu Ming didn't think twice before blurting out, "Please give your instructions, Elder!"

However, the elderly man surnamed Fang seemed surprised that Wu Ming would agree so readily. He paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said:

"Don't rush to agree. This mission is somewhat dangerous. So, let me explain the details of the mission first, and then you can carefully consider whether you want to accept it."

Upon hearing the old man surnamed Fang's words, Wu Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

He realized that his answer had been too hasty, so he quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I will definitely consider it carefully."

"Then I'll be frank, this mission is no simple matter!"

The old man surnamed Fang stroked his beard and said with a solemn expression, "It's not only related to Baiye County, where you are stationed, but also to the infamous Blood Fiend Sect."

Wu Ming's heart tightened. He was no stranger to the Blood Fiend Sect and knew that this demonic sect was ruthless and unscrupulous.

The old man surnamed Fang continued to explain, "A cave has recently appeared in Baiye County, which is a rare opportunity. The major powers that are nearby will definitely send people there, and the Demon Sect and Blood Fiend Sect will most likely not give up this opportunity."

Based on our speculation, the Blood Fiend Sect elder who attacked you earlier was very likely a member of the Demonic Sect stationed in Baiye County.

Wu Ming recalled the attack he had suffered earlier, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

Elder Fang looked at Wu Ming, who was deep in thought, paused for a moment, and then said, "If you participate in this emergence of the cave, that guy will definitely not let go of this opportunity to take revenge on you."

Therefore, we need you to be high-profile in this incident, to attract the attention of the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators as much as possible, and then we'll find a way to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
