Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 82 Bounty Mission
"Hmm! Five elemental spiritual roots are nothing special. The Shenxiao Dao Sect is not a small sect. It's just a little bit of resources. We can eventually gather them all."

The old Taoist nodded dismissively and added, "Besides, many people mistakenly believe that the cultivation progress of the 'Five Elements Spiritual Root' is slow. In fact, at higher levels, it is a supreme spiritual root, which can actually lead to faster cultivation than a single spiritual root."

"Thank you for your explanation, senior! I understand now."

Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat, and he learned more secrets about spiritual roots.

That makes sense. The cultivation world outside is full of small sects and independent cultivators. What knowledge do these people have?
Even if they defied the heavens and obtained tremendous fortune, they would only produce a few rogue cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage.

These are only a few that occur every tens of thousands of years.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has an incredibly long history, with even its lower-level disciples claiming to have lived there for hundreds of thousands of years.

As for the true details, only the important figures in the sect probably know.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect has been established for a long time and has witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties on the Southern Continent.

Such a sect naturally has a deeper understanding of spiritual roots.

Because the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has produced cultivators with such spiritual roots.

The sect witnessed the growth of these disciples and how far they had progressed.

Historically, many prominent figures of the "Shenxiao Daozong" had notes and biographies that have been passed down.

The higher the level of a person's status, the more valuable their notes and biographies become.

These items are all kept in the "Scripture Pavilion".

It's just that it's not something that people in the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages are qualified to read.

Even someone like Li Yunjing, considered "one of their own," wasn't qualified to know which floor of the "Library" those biographies were on, or what conditions were required to access them.

The life insights of these great figures are comparable to supreme supernatural powers and are taboo within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The Shenxiao Dao Sect has a very deep foundation and countless secrets. What Li Yunjing can see is only a tiny fraction of what it is.

The Foundation Establishment Realm experts of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" are naturally knowledgeable and learned, and Li Yunjing must believe the words of the sect's experts.

In fact, Li Yunjing had already discovered during his last visit to "Chiri Market" that the cultivation world and "Shenxiao Dao Sect" seemed to be two different worlds.

Many cultivation principles, cultivation treasures, magical artifacts, and even prices are different.

The difference in combat power between cultivators of the same level is also enormous.

Li Yunjing's sneak attack on the Bai brothers was much simpler than dealing with Han Shuo and his group.

The three Bai brothers' cultivation levels were even higher than Han Shuo's and the others!

This is the difference between top sect disciples and ordinary cultivators!

"Cultivate well, I have high hopes for you."

After chatting with Li Yunjing for a while, the old Taoist gently patted Li Yunjing's shoulder before shakily walking upstairs.

"Ugh!"

Li Yunjing sighed, wondering who this old man was and why he had taken the initiative to talk to him time and time again.

You know, there are at least eighty or a hundred staff members and people who come to borrow books on the first floor of the "Library". Why did so many people choose to come to you?
It's not that Li Yunjing is suspicious; he simply can't understand what a big shot like him could have to talk about.

People on different levels really have a hard time communicating.

The conversation between Li Yunjing and the old man was basically the old man giving him guidance.

Tell Li Yunjing the core content of the book, the techniques of cultivation, and his experiences in the Southern Heaven Continent...

I'm not a great beauty, so why would an old man be so fixated on me?
Li Yunjing was filled with doubt.

Li Yunjing asked Su Guo and the others, but they only knew that the old Taoist was someone who could freely enter and leave the two buildings. As for his name, which mountain he was from, and his background, they couldn't say anything.

After all, people are on different levels, so their interactions are naturally different.

Li Yunjing couldn't possibly report someone to the sect's stewards and have them investigate the person's identity just because they spoke to him a few times.

The important figures at the top might all know each other, and Li Yunjing was even afraid that the stewards of the "Hall of Cultivating Talents" would sell him out!

When Li Yunjing sees the old man again, he will be extremely embarrassed.

It even displeased the other party, who then disciplined Li Yunjing. He didn't even know why he was being targeted.

Li Yunjing put aside his worries and continued to immerse himself in books.

In the cultivation world, only cultivation level is real!

To take control of your own destiny, you must become stronger, and even stronger!

During these fifteen days, in addition to his regular reading, Li Yunjing also received his first month's salary.

30 contribution points, 15 low-grade spirit stones, and 5 Qi-replenishing pills.

Regarding the benefits of the sect, Li Yunjing could only say, "It's really great!"
He didn't do any work, just read books for fifteen days, and yet he received such a large salary.

You know, the last time he went to "Red Sun Valley" to escort grain supplies, he was doing a life-threatening mission, and he didn't get this many rewards.

This shows how important a good job is!
These days, Li Yunjing's easygoing personality has made the people in the second duty group familiar with him, and their relationship has become much more harmonious.

As long as Su Guo and his team members complete their normal work, Li Yunjing doesn't care about anything else.

Who doesn't like a boss who doesn't handle the specifics?
During this time, Fairy Linghua came twice more.

The first time I talked to Li Yunjing to get closer to him, he took advantage of me and I fled in a sorry state.

The second meeting was much more formal, as it involved discussing some important matters.

"Junior brother, would it be convenient for us to go outside and talk?"

Linghua Fairy's smile was charming and her eyes were captivating, making Li Yunjing's heart itch with desire.

Since arriving at the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", this prodigal son has not had a beautiful woman by his side for three months.

"Ugh!"

Li Yunjing sighed and said, "Alright! Let's talk at my place."

However, this woman was no good, and Li Yunjing really had no intention of winning her over.

I just took advantage of her a little and teased her!

They didn't take Fairy Linghua seriously at all. It was like going to a nightclub, just playing along, taking advantage of her, and flirting. You think I really like you?

I'm completely captivated by you?

Don't flatter yourself!

A man's mouth is a liar's mouth, and that's no exaggeration!

"Okay... okay!"

Seemingly remembering Li Yunjing's dishonesty, Fairy Linghua's heart trembled, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

"laugh……"

Li Yunjing scoffed. What was with that woman's expression? Did she think he was going to eat her?
Sensing Li Yunjing's displeasure, Fairy Linghua gave a forced smile.

This time, she had no choice but to compromise. Wei Henian was already urging her, and this task had to be completed!
Faced with Wei Henian's anger, Fairy Linghua couldn't help but feel fear.

This is a task that must be completed!
There is absolutely no room for negotiation!
She was even willing to sacrifice her beauty in order to bring Li Yunjing out of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Fairy Linghua naturally wouldn't dare to fall out with Li Yunjing.

Even when Li Yunjing mocked her, she pretended not to know and still wore a charming smile.

"Damn! Boss is so lucky!"

"This woman doesn't seem like a good person. The boss is trying to use her as a honey trap!"

"Heh heh! Who cares about that! He chose to live a carefree and pleasure-seeking life!"

……

Amidst the ambiguous glances from the members of the second group, the two left the "Scripture Pavilion".

Li Yunjing had no idea that his "brothers" were making fun of him like this, otherwise he would definitely have given them a thorough cleaning!

The first floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" must be spotless, and they should be thoroughly trained!
Inside Li Yunjing's wooden house, the two sides took their seats as host and guest.

"Fairy Linghua, is there something important that you have to discuss?"

Li Yunjing crossed his legs casually. He had no desires for this woman and naturally wouldn't wrong himself in front of Fairy Linghua.

Adopt a respectful attitude.

"Hehe! It's still about going out of the mountains to do a mission!"

Fairy Linghua was displeased; Li Yunjing showed her no respect whatsoever!

With the mission at hand, Fairy Linghua had no choice but to remain smiling.

A pair of bright, expressive eyes looked at Li Yunjing with deep affection before continuing, "I received a mission from the 'Hall of Enforcement'. In the 'Youlan Mountains', there is a group of 'Jie Xiu' who specialize in intercepting and killing cultivators. Last time, one of our inner disciples was killed by a Jie Xiu from the 'Youlan Mountains'."

Seeing that Li Yunjing was listening attentively, Fairy Linghua continued, "This time, the 'Hall of Enforcement' is offering a reward of three thousand contribution points to eliminate this group of traitors and avenge our senior brother."

"Huh? All the inner disciples are dead?"

Li Yunjing was slightly surprised. The inner disciples were all experts at the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Qi Refining Realm. Not only had they cultivated the inner sect's techniques, but they also possessed a wealth of treasures and had rich combat experience.

An inner disciple can absolutely take on ten opponents at once!

How could someone like that be killed by a calamity cultivator?

Has Fairy Linghua gone mad?

Knowing my own limitations, how dare I go against these cultivators who have undergone tribulations?
"Senior sister, how can a mere Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator like me participate in such a mission? Isn't this just sending me to my death? No way! No way!"

Li Yunjing shook his head vigorously, refusing decisively.

"Giggle..."

Fairy Linghua covered her mouth and chuckled softly; she had already anticipated Li Yunjing's reaction.

If Li Yunjing had agreed without any hesitation, she would have become suspicious.

"Junior brother, this time it's not just the two of us going. You're scared, and so is your senior sister! All the inner disciples are dead. How can we possibly keep all three thousand contribution points for ourselves?"

Fairy Linghua continued to explain.

"Oh? There are other people?"

Li Yunjing looked as if he had just realized something, and continued to ask.

"Of course! This mission was initiated by the 'Hall of Enforcement', so naturally the senior brothers from the 'Hall of Enforcement' participated. In addition to the people from the 'Hall of Enforcement', many outer and inner sect experts from other peaks also participated."

Fairy Linghua then told Li Yunjing the details.

This time, in order to lure Li Yunjing into the trap, the "Wanfa Society" did not take the lead in this mission.

Instead, they took advantage of their rivals, the "Enforcement Hall," and went with the flow to participate in this operation.

On the surface, only three people from the "Wanfa Association" were involved in this matter!

Only in this way can Li Yunjing put his worries aside and come out of the mountains without any concerns.

Once Li Yunjing reaches the "Youlan Mountains," the members of the "Wanfa Society" will naturally have even more plans to ensure that he is utterly destroyed before he returns to the mountains.

Wei Henian really put his mind to it and went to great lengths to uncover Li Yunjing's secret.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing nodded, a cold smile playing on his lips. Did they think he was unaware of their scheme?
When he went out on missions and encountered bandits, there was bound to be a great battle. When that happened, his fellow disciples would separate, and the people from the "Ten Thousand Laws Association" would naturally take their place.

If Li Yunjing is killed, the blame will naturally fall on Jie Xiu.

With no one left to testify, this is the end of it all!
Even if he dies and loses his usefulness, Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao won't care. As time goes by, the matter will be forgotten.

"Ha ha……"

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing asked again, "With so many people involved, isn't this little bit of contribution points not enough to go around?"

"Junior Brother Li, you've misunderstood!"

Fairy Linghua chuckled, "Those who have undergone Tribulation Cultivation generally have considerable wealth. In this operation, the proceeds from the killings do not need to be handed over; they all belong to the individual! If you can kill three or four of them, Junior Brother, you'll make a fortune!"
