He began his journey to becoming a true immortal by causing others to fail their tribulations.

Looking at the map and the two dots, Xun Yan subconsciously rubbed his smooth chin.

"It seems this map is similar to some games; it only fully unlocks after I've traversed a certain area."

The Misty Sect was vast, comparable to a large city. The original owner had previously only operated in the outer sect area.

So only the outer door area was opened, which means...

Only by venturing to more places can we better understand who is preparing to undergo tribulation.

Thinking of this, Xun Yan clicked on one of the light spots.

The information that only he could see immediately appeared before him:

[Target: Mu Qingrou (Azure Phoenix Spirit Body - Inactive)]

[Introduction: Mu Qingrou is making final preparations and is expected to undergo her tribulation soon. Host, please pay close attention.]

"Azure Phoenix Spirit Body? A special constitution?"

Filled with curiosity, Xun Yan clicked on the description of the Azure Phoenix Spirit.

[Azure Phoenix Spirit Body – A special physique that excels in wind and fire-based Taoist arts, spells, and supernatural powers.]

[His speed is among the best in his realm, and the power of his unique Azure Phoenix Spirit Fire far surpasses that of ordinary flames.]

[Note: If you break through to Foundation Establishment before activating your physique, not only will the difficulty of activating your physique increase significantly, but the upper limit will also be greatly reduced.]

[Activation method: Simultaneously resist the invasion of lightning, fire, and wind energies.]

The lower the cultivation level, the less powerful the three types of energy required for activation.

Stroking his smooth chin, Xun Yan began to ponder:

"This Azure Phoenix spirit seems quite good, but neither the others nor Mu Qingrou herself know about it."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to undergo tribulation before their physique was activated; that would be tantamount to ruining their future.

I can add something special to her tribulation; although it will cause her to fail, it will also activate her constitution.

As long as she's still alive, she'll be able to make a comeback and even reach new heights.

In this way, I can not only receive the system's rewards, but also avoid being resented or hunted down by Mu Qingrou.

Most importantly, we won't be punished by the Misty Sect, so we can make a move!

After deciding to target Mu Qingrou, Xun Yan opened another light source.

[Target: Han Sit.]

[Introduction: Although he has already reached the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, Han Xi is still suppressing himself and refraining from undergoing tribulation.]

[It is speculated that Han Xi will not undergo tribulation in the short term; the host should simply keep an eye on things.]

"Huh? There's such a thing?"

Xun Yan frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by Han Xi's choice.

Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you can enter the inner sect and enjoy more and better cultivation resources.

Even if one can break through to the Golden Core stage, just entering the Foundation Establishment stage will extend one's lifespan by at least a hundred years compared to the Qi Refining stage.

Some people cultivate immortality for the sake of power and the thrill of combat.

But the vast majority of people who cultivate immortality are still aiming for longevity.

Every extra day wasted could very well mean falling before the "dawn" of immortality.

Generally speaking, as long as one reaches the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

After making certain preparations, they will try to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

No one would be deterred from advancing by the tribulation lightning of the Qi Refining Realm.

Han Xi was clearly in a position to overcome his tribulation, yet he was suppressing himself, which seemed very strange.

"Could it be that he still has something to finish in the outer sect, which is why he is unwilling to undergo tribulation?"

That shouldn't be the case! Even if you become an inner disciple, no one would stop you from coming to the outer sect area.

Could it be that... what he wants to do must be done secretly?

It would be too conspicuous for an inner disciple to come to the outer sect area, making it difficult for him to do this matter well.

Forget it, he's not undergoing his tribulation for now, so I won't have a chance to make a move. I'll just keep an eye on him.

For now, we're still focusing our energy on Mu Qingrou's tribulation...

She's still in the Qi Refining stage, so she doesn't need particularly high-powered wind and fire elemental energies; low-grade talismans will suffice.

After making his decision, Xun Yan rummaged through his storage bag.

But besides the original owner's daily necessities, clothes, and a few low-grade spirit stones, there wasn't a single talisman, let alone a piece of paper.

"Buying it is definitely out of the question; I can only do some sect missions and exchange them for contribution points."

Outer Gate Mission Hall.

Xun Yan looked up at the list of tasks, and after a moment, he found the steward and spoke:

"Hello, I'd like to take on the mission to investigate Qingcao Village."

After saying this, Xun Yan paused for a moment, then turned his head to look to the side.

Because almost everyone said the same thing to him.

The speaker was a female outer disciple with delicate features, long hair reaching her waist, and a hint of bluish-green at the ends.

While Xun Yan was sizing up the other person, the other person was also sizing up Xun Yan.

After blinking twice, the other person said excitedly, "You're Senior Brother Xun Yan!"

"It's me. And you are?"

"Senior Brother Xun Yan, my name is Mu Qingrou. I witnessed you saving Pan Qie and was fortunate enough to hear you share your experience of facing the tribulation lightning."

Xun Yan was slightly surprised after hearing the other person's self-introduction.

He never expected that the next target for farming rewards would suddenly appear in front of him.

And she seems to have a pretty good impression of me.

"Senior Brother Xun Yan, do you want to do this task? Then you can take it! I'll choose something else."

Before Xun Yan could answer, the steward beside him spoke up:

"There's no limit to the number of people who can take on this mission, so you two can go together! That way, you can look out for each other."

The steward's words made Mu Qingrou's eyes light up, and she asked with a hint of anticipation, "Senior Brother Xun Yan, shall we do this mission together?"

Xun Yan did not rush to agree, but instead asked in a low voice:

"Junior Sister Mu, judging from your powerful aura, you should be at a crucial moment in your tribulation. Why would you accept a mission at a time like this?"

Mu Qingrou's eyes widened slightly as she thought to herself, "How did Senior Brother Xun Yan know I was about to undergo tribulation?"

She answered the question herself shortly after it arose:

"Senior Brother Xun Yan has helped others withstand heavenly lightning before, so it's normal for him to know that I'm about to undergo tribulation."

Then Mu Qingrou said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xun Yan, I plan to use my contribution points to exchange for some items in order to increase my chances of successfully transcending the tribulation."

"It's good to be prepared."

After giving a low affirmation, Xun Yan resumed his normal volume, "I'll have to ask Junior Sister Mu for your guidance from now on."

"Senior Brother Xun Yan, you're too kind. It's your junior sister who should rely on you more."

After exchanging pleasantries and completing the registration, the two headed straight for Qingcao Village.

If one does not have a flying artifact or mount during the Qi Refining stage, one can only rely on one's own two legs to travel long distances.

At most, one can use escape techniques or talismans to increase speed.

Fortunately, Qingcao Village was not far from Piaomiao Sect, and the two arrived in just half a day.

It was still quite early at this time; it should be close to dinnertime.

However, Xun Yan noticed that many people in the village were leaning against something, yawning incessantly.

Furthermore, it's clear that they all have obvious dark circles under their eyes, indicating that they haven't had enough rest for some time.
