I Started by Worshipping the Wrong Peak. It Turns Out That I am Invincible Just by Refining Pills?

8: Complete the mission, unexpected gain!“Vice Hall Revered Master, what are you doing?”

After Lin Yan left, the Elder from the Resource Hall looked at Liu Fei with a puzzled expression and asked.

“Just consider this an investment. My cultivation has been stuck at the Peak of Innate for a long time. From Lin Yan, I see the hope of Foundation Establishment!”

After speaking, Liu Fei disregarded the Elder’s reaction and left directly.

At the same time, dozens of Outer Sect Disciples who were waiting to sell their items looked at Lin Yan’s receding figure with envy.

Thinking about the Elder’s attitude towards them, and then looking at Senior Brother Lin Yan, this was clearly a display of strength. Even the Vice Hall Revered Master of the Resource Hall was alarmed and held Lin Yan in such high regard!

“Those who want to sell things, come over quickly while this old man is in a good mood!”

However, a shout instantly startled the waiting Outer Sect Disciples, and dozens of them immediately swarmed towards the counter.

...

After leaving the Resource Hall, Lin Yan went to the Mission Hall.

Since he was going out for the Alchemist Rank assessment, he planned to accept some suitable missions to earn some Sect Contribution Points.

After all, to exchange for various Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Skills, and other resources within the Sect, the most important thing was to rely on Sect Contribution Points.

After some searching, Lin Yan finally found two suitable missions that were also along his route.

One of them was to go to the Heavenly Water Spirit Mine to investigate why the Sect’s outpost had been submitting fewer Spirit Stones recently. The mission reward was fifty Sect Contribution Points upon completion.

The second was to go to the Flame Mountain Range to collect a hundred yan fire stones. The mission reward was two hundred Sect Contribution Points and ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones upon completion.

These two missions were relatively easy for Lin Yan, who was at Qi Refining Stage seventh level, to complete. Therefore, he wouldn’t be bored on the journey.

Just as Lin Yan had accepted the missions and was about to head down the outer Sect mountain to use a Spirit Beast for travel, his identity token suddenly vibrated.

“Junior Brother, wait a moment!”

It was clearly the voice of his Senior Sister.

“Senior Sister Liu? Is something wrong?”

The Sect identity token could not only be used for communication but also had many other uses, so Lin Yan was not surprised by this at all.

“Junior Brother, Revered Master heard that you are going to Dan Saint City for the Alchemist Rank assessment. He is worried about you going alone, so he asked me to accompany you. We can look out for each other on the way.”

Hearing the voice from the other side, Lin Yan felt a warmth in his heart, and then he replied,

“In that case, I’ll wait for you at the Beast Taming Workshop at the foot of the mountain!”

The Beast Taming Workshop was specifically set up by the Outer Sect’s Beast Taming Hall to provide transportation for Sect Disciples going out.

Before long, Lin Yan saw Liu Mei arriving on a Flying Sword at the Beast Taming Workshop at the foot of the mountain.

This made Lin Yan full of envy. He wondered when he would be able to have his own Flying Sword.

Speaking of which, he had just comprehended a layer of Sword Intent, but he didn’t even have a handy weapon.

Lin Yan couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head. It seemed that after the Alchemist Rank assessment, he would have to buy a suitable weapon for himself.

“Junior Brother, let’s go. It’s about a ten-day journey to Dan Saint City, but with the Rank One Horned Horses from the Beast Taming Workshop, we should be able to reach it in less than five days.”

While Lin Yan was lost in thought, Liu Mei had already walked over, leading two tall white horses with single horns.

“Actually, Senior Sister doesn’t need to rush. I’ve accepted two missions that are conveniently along the way.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them leaped onto their horses and rode together towards the Heavenly Water Mountain Range.

The Heavenly Water Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, not only abundant in some low-grade medicinal herbs but also containing many hidden spirit mines.

Their Qingyun Sect had developed a small spirit mine there, outsourcing the mining work to some Mortal Families in the nearby Heavenly Water City.

However, recently, the Qingyun Sect had received reports that during the mining process, not only were miners constantly dying mysteriously, but a considerable amount of the mined Spirit Stones were also being stolen.

“I wonder who is so bold as to dare to lay hands on our Qingyun Sect’s mine!”

Liu Mei, who was beside him, heard Lin Yan’s description, and a hint of frost flashed across her delicate face. Wasn’t this provoking the tiger?

Who didn’t know that their Qingyun Sect was one of the top Sects in this northern region?

Lin Yan’s eyes also flashed with a hint of coldness. If it weren’t for the Qingyun Sect, he would have long since died in the wilderness after his Transmigration.

Therefore, he felt a strong sense of belonging to the Qingyun Sect. After all, this was his first foothold after his Transmigration!

The Heavenly Water Mountain Range was not very far from the Qingyun Sect. Therefore, after half a day of rapid travel, Lin Yan and Liu Mei appeared directly at the Qingyun Sect’s outpost in the Heavenly Water Mountain Range.

“Liu Song greets the two Immortals!”

As soon as Lin Yan and Liu Mei appeared, a middle-aged man, accompanied by a group of people, hurriedly came out to greet them, his face full of respect, fearing that the two Immortals might be displeased and inflict punishment.

“Junior Brother, these people are those who failed the Sect assessment and voluntarily asked to help the Sect with some tasks in exchange for some Cultivation resources.”

Liu Mei explained the origin of these people to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan suddenly realized, no wonder these people all had Body Refining strength.

“You should know the purpose of our visit. Please explain the situation.”

The middle-aged man named Liu Song did not dare to neglect in the slightest and quickly said,

“Reporting to the Immortal, whenever we collect Spirit Stones, that mysterious Spirit Beast appears, then attacks our miners, and steals the Spirit Stones!”

As he spoke, Liu Song and Lin Yan arrived at the entrance of a mine tunnel, pointing inside and saying,

“This is a case that just happened the day before yesterday.”

Lin Yan looked at the mine tunnel and could vaguely smell a trace of blood.

Immediately, Lin Yan directly leaped down and entered the mine tunnel.

Liu Mei, who was originally above, wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Lin Yan.

Inside the mine tunnel, Lin Yan gradually reached the end and even found a corpse.

Immediately after, he released his powerful Soul power and silently investigated.

Before long, Lin Yan opened his eyes, then pointed two fingers like a sword. A sharp Sword Intent condensed at his fingertips, and he shot it towards the earthen wall beside him.

“Squeak!”

Only a tragic cry was heard, and a smile immediately appeared on Lin Yan’s lips.

Then, using his cultivation, he dug open the earthen wall there, about ten meters away, and discovered a space about a zhang in size.

And inside, a half-human-sized rat, bleeding, lay quietly.

“It’s actually an Earth-Drilling Rat at the Qi Refining level. No wonder those people outside couldn’t do anything about you.”

Lin Yan picked up the Earth-Drilling Rat’s corpse, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a faint, misty white light emanating from the earthen wall beside him.

Out of curiosity, he directly blasted it open. The scene inside instantly made Lin Yan freeze in place.

“Could this be the Earth-Drilling Rat’s small treasury?”

Inside, there were densely packed Low-Grade Spirit Stones, shining with a soft glow.

Roughly estimated, there were no less than a thousand of them.

“According to Sect rules, all spoils of war found during outside missions do not need to be handed over to the Sect and can be kept by oneself.”

“In that case, isn’t this a windfall?”

At this thought, a faint smile appeared on Lin Yan’s face. Then, with a wave of his hand, he put all those thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones into his Storage Pouch.

After doing all this, Lin Yan then carried the Qi Refining Stage Earth-Drilling Rat out of the mine tunnel.

“It was this Earth-Drilling Rat that attacked you. You are safe now.”

“Thank you, Immortal!”

Liu Song and the others, seeing the still warm Earth-Drilling Rat, bowed respectfully to Lin Yan, expressing their gratitude, and at the same time, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They hadn’t expected it to be a Qi Refining Stage Earth-Drilling Rat. If the Immortal hadn’t acted, who knows when they would have become the next targets of attack!

It was Liu Mei, on the other hand, who looked at the Earth-Drilling Rat, killed with a single blow, and a subtle hint of shock flashed in her eyes.

She also cultivated the Dao of the Sword and was extremely sensitive to Sword Intent, so she naturally knew that this Earth-Drilling Rat had died under Sword Qi!

“It seems this Junior Brother is not only a Genius in Alchemy but also has Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability in the Dao of the Sword!”

“Senior Sister Liu Mei, let’s go to the next place.”
