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

Dongfuzhong.

Xun Yan stroked his smooth chin and pondered:

"The more times I disrupt others' tribulations, the more rewards I will receive, and the better they will become."

But since I've been staying in the sect, other people will inevitably have doubts about where I got all these things.

I need to find a plausible reason to avoid getting into trouble... say it's a reward from Peak Master Qin?

No, although Peak Master Qin generally doesn't pay attention to ordinary inner disciples, I have shown my face to her a few times.

"Maybe after the news reaches her, she'll come and ask about it, and given Qin Fengzhu's temper... I don't want to get beaten up."

After a moment of silence, Xun Yan gently slapped his thigh.

"By the way, I can go out and do more missions, and then say that I obtained the opportunity by chance from outside. Anyone could encounter something like that."

If word got out, everyone would believe it. Because of the significant randomness involved, it generally wouldn't be investigated further, making it perfect for covering up the system rewards.

After making his decision, Xun Yan did not rush to accept the mission, but instead went into seclusion.

He needs to fully digest the tribulation lightning energy he absorbed earlier.

He still needs to condense a batch of spiritual energy longswords, otherwise, if he really encounters danger, he can only use the Spirit Gathering Sword Box to smash people.

Several days later.

When Xun Yan reopened his eyes, lightning flashed in his pupils.

He clenched his fist and muttered to himself:

"My strength has improved again, and I'm getting closer and closer to breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. After I finish this mission and come back, I'll try to transcend the tribulation!"

After getting up and stretching his body a bit, Xun Yan left the cave and headed to the inner sect's mission hall.

On the way, he noticed something: many inner disciples would greet him warmly when they saw him.

Although he responded politely, he still had some doubts.

"Huh? What's going on? Although we're all inner disciples, we don't have much contact on a daily basis. We barely even nod to each other when we meet."

"But now you're so enthusiastic, like we've been long-lost friends. What happened during my seclusion these past few days?"

However, even with his doubts, Xun Yan did not stop someone from asking.

When he arrived at the inner sect's mission hall, many people's eyes fell on him.

Someone whispered to the person next to them, "Is that Junior Brother Xun?"

"Yes, he really is as rumored, quite the handsome man!"

"He's handsome, capable, and can even help people activate and transform their special physiques. I never expected that our inner sect would have such a talent."

"Indeed. We should try to build a good relationship with him if we have the chance; maybe we have some special constitution too?"

"I am self-aware enough not to think about having a special physique, but it would be great if there were improvements in other areas."

Although the two lowered their voices, Xun Yan, with his current strength, could still hear their conversation clearly.

He also realized why everyone had been so enthusiastic towards him along the way.

"So you wanted to activate a special physique! What a pity, this thing isn't like cabbage growing on the roadside, you can't just get it whenever you want."

The ugly duckling turned into a swan not because it was ugly, but because it was a swan to begin with.

Besides, you haven't reached the point of tribulation yet, and I don't know your situation.

Pretending to know nothing, Xun Yan stepped forward and began to speak:

"Excuse me, sir, I have a scorpion-tailed tiger corpse that I obtained from the Thunderous Secret Realm last time. I wonder if I can exchange it for contribution points?"

Upon seeing that it was Xun Yan, the steward smiled and said, "Of course, I heard that the Scorpion-tailed Tiger has fallen from the third rank to the second rank, but its foundation is still there."

Every part of it is valuable; it can be used for refining weapons and pills, and its meat can be made into spiritual food for humans or spirit beasts.

"Where should I put its body?" Xun Yan asked.

"Come with me!"

The steward led Xun Yan to a room not far away. The room was several hundred square meters, but it was completely empty.

It's like an empty warehouse; it was probably built to deal with this kind of situation.

Xun Yan raised his hand, and the scorpion-tailed tiger's corpse fell heavily to the ground. The steward nodded in agreement.

"Not bad, not much loss. I'll exchange it for 1,500 contribution points for you! Is that alright?"

"Of course, thank you very much, Steward," Xun Yan said.

The task contribution points are linked to the level of danger, and being able to obtain 1,500 contribution points has already exceeded Xun Yan's expectations.

"Okay, shall I transfer it directly to you?" the butler asked.

Xun Yan pondered for a moment and then said:

"Steward, please do me a favor and divide this contribution equally into three parts: one part for Mu Qingrou of Yaochi Peak, one part for Xiao Meng of Zhenhuo Peak, and one part for..."

They were both direct disciples of the two peak masters, and they contributed a great deal of effort to defeat this scorpion-tailed tiger.

The deacon smiled and said, "No problem."

After settling the contribution points, Xun Yan spoke again: "Steward, I am preparing to accept the mission from Fudao Peak and head to Wanshi City."

"OK."

After completing the task registration, the deacon's smile faded as he said, "Wanshi City is holding a large auction soon. It will be lively, but it will also be a mixed bag."

Be extra careful when you get there. If you encounter any danger, remember to ask for help immediately, or just run away. Survival is the most important thing.

"Thank you, Deacon. I'll be on my way now."

"Okay. Go ahead! Be careful."

After leaving the inner sect mission hall, Xun Yan flew directly to his destination on his sword.

The mission at Fudao Peak was not completed due to unforeseen circumstances, but because of this, no contribution points were deducted.

On this trip to Wanshi City, Xun Yan wanted to give his system rewards a reasonable explanation and also help Fudao Peak find some suitable materials.

It can be considered a complete success, with a beginning and an end.

After flying for several days, Xun Yan finally saw Wanshi City in the distance.

The city is surrounded by a network of mineral veins, which have resulted in many unique minerals.

These ores vary in quality, but as long as you can find them, you can definitely exchange them for a lot of spirit stones.

Fudao Peak's mission is to collect these ores.

Because it's profitable, many cultivators come here to try their luck.

As more people came, Wanshi City gradually became prosperous, and markets of all sizes sprang up.

Many independent cultivators and members of small and medium-sized sects like to trade here.

Seeing the business opportunity, Wanbaolou, a top power in the Linghai Continent, also moved in, and they are the organizer of this auction.

When Xun Yan landed at the city gate, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

They were unaware of Xun Yan's "feat," but were drawn to the clothes he was wearing.

The Misty Sect is, after all, a top-tier sect, second only to the Holy Land in terms of strength, status, and prestige.

As an inner disciple of the Misty Sect, although I can't walk sideways yet, I can walk diagonally without any problem.

Upon arriving at the new place, Xun Yan decisively opened the system map. Looking at the densely packed dots of light on the map, Xun Yan quickly suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up.
