Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Just about to fly away on her sword, Yao Rui paused when she heard this, then put away her flying sword and landed on the ground: ”Hmph, I, Yao Rui, disdain taking advantage of someone who uses shortcuts, I’ll wait for you to set off together!”

”...” Li Ji’an looked at her expressionlessly.

I don’t like using shortcuts!

Later, several people followed Li Ji’an to the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Elder of the Dharma Transmission Hall told them to execute a Sect mission, to capture thief cultivators, without indicating it’s a trial, so to gather information about the thief cultivators and inquire relevant news from the Law Enforcement Hall is normal and reasonable.

However, Yao Rui was preconceived, thinking this was a Sect trial and that she had to show her ability, not realizing that intelligence and planning beforehand is also a kind of ability and is even more crucial.

Unsurprisingly, the information regarding this mission in the Law Enforcement Hall was quite detailed.

”Suspected to be a wanted group composed of remnants from the Dao Source State who colluded with the Demon Realm and were wiped out; initially led by a Fake Pill stage member, and after fleeing to the Celestial Origin Province, their Fake Pill leader was slain, and the rest scattered. About ten fled to Cangyun State.

Heart nature is vicious, resenting all families for their extermination.

Half a year ago, the remaining Foundation Establishment leader was killed by the Law Enforcement Team, only six escaped, all Qi Cultivation Late Period cultivators.

Thought without a Foundation Establishment leader, they were not to be feared, but three months ago, a Qi Cultivation Clan in north Cangyun State was exterminated, including three-year-old children were not spared, thief cultivators looted and fled.

Half a month ago, the Qi Cultivation Clan Ping Lake Xue Family was again exterminated, the methods identical to the previous ones.

No trace was found by the Law Enforcement Team, suspected to have some special means of concealment.

Vicious and bold, small Qi Cultivation clans in the state are all on edge, living in fear, must quickly eliminate them and leave a living mouth to coerce information about other accomplices...”

”Truly heinous, I, Yao Rui, must execute them!” Yao Rui originally disdained Li Ji’an’s inquiry to the Law Enforcement Hall, always maintaining a detached attitude, but upon hearing the detailed information, was instantly enraged beyond restraint.

”I want to set off now, I’ve given you the chance, if you dawdle again, don’t blame me for taking advantage of you, using shortcuts.” In her fury, she no longer cared about anything else and insisted on leaving.

Li Ji’an nodded: ”The cause is clear, it’s time to set off.”

”Whoosh~” Yao Rui finally nodded in satisfaction, mounted her flying sword, and headed towards Ping Lake.

Shen Xingchen followed closely after.

”Senior Brother Li, we’re heading off first.” Zhou Zheng, with a smile, retracted his head and followed Yao Rui away.

Hu Zaiyi saw the three leave and turned to Li Ji’an: ”Senior Brother Li, so we?”

”In order to achieve well in work, one must first sharpen one’s tools. No hurry, let’s exchange some Qi Replenishing Pill and Spirit Stones as preparedness.” Li Ji’an casually said.

”Ah! Correct, correct, the outside can’t be compared with the Sect, we’ll need Spirit Supplement Pills, and everywhere outside needs Spirit Stones.” Hu Zaiyi suddenly awoke from his eagerness to perform.

Involuntarily reassessing Li Ji’an.

”Following Senior Brother Li might accidentally hit the bullseye! Direct Lineage of the Sect knows much more.”

After Hu Zaiyi finished exchanging for external spiritual talent items, Li Ji’an was already waiting at the Sect’s gate.

However, seeing Li Ji’an seated in an Imperial Carriage pulled by an Earth Rock Bull, Hu Zaiyi was once again dazed.

”Senior Brother Li, is this... really okay for our experiential journey?” Stabilizing his mind, Hu Zaiyi hurried forward, leaning closer to Li Ji’an and empowered voice to persuade.

”Junior Brother Hu, how much Spirit Supplement Pill and Spirit Stone did you exchange? Can you afford the magical power consumption for ten thousand miles of fleeing?” Li Ji’an asked.

”This, naturally not enough... then what did you exchange, Senior Brother Li?”

Sect’s True Inheritor, as this is the first trial, has yet to achieve any merits, naturally could not have enough contributions besides the hundred points gifted at entrance.

”I rented this beast and Imperial Carriage.” Li Ji’an raised his chin.

”Smart! Senior Brother Li, indeed experienced.” Hu Zaiyi realized suddenly.

With their exchanged spiritual talent, it’s impossible to guarantee full power arriving at Ping Lake Xue Family.

And if riding a spirit beast, not only doesn’t require one’s own magical power consumption, but also doesn’t need to stop to recover midway, as the exchanged spiritual talent serves as its feed adequately.

”Young Master, ready to depart?” Old Huang, driving the carriage, raised the magic whip in his hand.

”Yes.” Li Ji’an nodded lightly.

”Smack!” The magic whip in Old Huang’s hand struck the hind of the Earth Rock Bull.

Always exhibiting cultivation at Qi Cultivation Early Period, Old Huang has served as a servant for Li Ji’an for three years, tidying up and following orders.

This Earth Rock Bull is a Tier One Late Period beast with strength, its speed akin to Qi Cultivation Middle Stage cultivators fleeing, its endurance is tenfold.

Ping Lake Xue Family lies ten thousand miles northeast of Biyun Sect, with the Earth Rock Bull’s strength, seven or eight days’ ride.

Three days later.

”Senior Brother Li, there is Senior Sister Yao and them!” Although recognizing Li Ji’an’s actions, Hu Zaiyi couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Worried that Yao Rui and the three arrived at Xue Family in advance and solved the task ahead.

In that case, he and Li Ji’an having done nothing, likely receive low evaluation for this trial.

Concerned akin to a year ago when someone was demoted to Inner Sect disciple from True Inheritor.

Yet at this moment, seeing the three figures on the spiritually deficient hillside vigorously recovering their magical power, the gloom dissipated instantly.

”Senior Brother Li, shall we go greet them?”

However, before Li Ji’an could respond, Yao Rui and the three seemingly saw Hu Zaiyi’s head peeking, immediately stood and flew away on their swords again.

Two days later.

Hu Zaiyi once more joyfully saw the trio of Yao Rui.

Similarly, upon seeing the bull carriage, Yao Rui again flew away on her sword.
