148: Chapter 148: The Sky Susp looms.

Smack!

Lin Bai took out the task scroll and task token, and slapped them down on the table.

The task scroll was a certificate Lin Bai received from the Task Hall when he undertook the mission.

And the task token was given to Lin Bai by the Lord of White Sheep City as proof of task completion.

Only by returning to the Task Hall with both the task scroll and task token could a warrior be considered to have completed the mission.

“Open your dog eyes and see clearly, what are these!” Lin Bai sneered at Elder Su and pointed to the task scroll and task token.

Elder Su and Elder Zhang both looked over.

“Elder Zhang, check carefully whether this is the task scroll and task token from White Sheep City.

Humph, I suspect our Outer Sect’s top figure just randomly found a token to shirk responsibility!” After glancing at the token, Elder Su coldly scoffed.

In his heart, Elder Su sneered: Huh, a martial artist of the Xuanwu Realm Ninth Level, how could he possibly kill a master of the first level of the Earth Martial Realm?

This Lin Bai must have failed to complete the task and simply found a similar token to make up the numbers.

I will expose you on the spot and make you lose face!

Hearing Elder Su’s words, Lin Bai ignored him.

True gold does not fear the fire.

This task token was given to him by the Lord of the White Sheep City.

Elder Zhang checked carefully and excitedly said, “Indeed, it is the task scroll and task token from White Sheep City.

Lin Bai, you are extraordinary.

To complete a four-star mission at Xuanwu Realm Ninth Level, it seems we will have another unparalleled genius in Spirit Sword Sect soon.”

Elder Zhang genuinely smiled at Lin Bai.

“Thank you for your praise, Elder.” Lin Bai smiled slightly.

“That’s impossible, how could Lin Bai complete the mission from White Sheep City, Elder Zhang, you must be shielding Lin Bai.” Elder Su, full of disbelief, spoke to Elder Zhang.

“Humph, Elder Su, don’t you think you’re jumping to conclusions?

If you don’t believe it, you can check it yourself.”

Angered, Elder Zhang responded coldly.

He had worked conscientiously for the Spirit Sword Sect and never shielded any warrior.

Now being so accused by Elder Su, Elder Zhang was instantly furious.

“I will check myself.”

Elder Su, not believing in defeat, walked over.

After unfolding the task scroll and task token, and checking them carefully, he exclaimed in surprise: “This really is the task token of the White Sheep City mission.”

Elder Su looked at it and said in disbelief with furrowed brows: “How is this possible, you are just a practitioner of the Xuanwu Realm Ninth Level, how could you possibly have killed Zeng Liang, he is a master of the Earth Martial Realm!”

“Your cultivation…

has broken through to the Earth Martial Realm and reached the third level?”

Elder Su looked carefully and was astonished to find that Lin Bai had already broken through to the third level of the Earth Martial Realm.

Elder Zhang said indignantly: “Elder Su, what more do you have to say?

As an elder, when a disciple completes a mission beyond his level, you don’t congratulate him, instead you lash out.

You are really unfit to be an elder of Spirit Sword Sect!”

Elder Su’s face became awkward and he glared at Lin Bai angrily.

He wanted to make Lin Bai lose face, but instead, Lin Bai stomped on him harshly.

“Lin Bai, don’t be too smug.

Don’t forget what you said, accepting the challenge of all Earth Martial Realm martial artists of Spirit Sword Sect at No Return Cliff in three months.”

“Humph, even if you have broken through to the third level of the Earth Martial Realm, I don’t believe you can break through to the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm within two months.”

“If you don’t show up at No Return Cliff in three months, I myself will capture you, break your legs, and throw you at the gate of the Divine Alliance.”

Elder Su glared coldly at Lin Bai.

“No need for Elder Su to worry.

Although my cultivation level is not high, I always fulfill my promises.

In three months, I will surely wait at No Return Cliff for all the Earth Martial Realm masters of Spirit Sword Sect to challenge me!”

Lin Bai said, sneering.

“Humph, then you wait for death.” Elder Su glared at Lin Bai angrily, then left with a swish of his sleeve.

After seeing Elder Su leave, Elder Zhang turned to Lin Bai and earnestly said, “Lin Bai, you are too rash.

The Spirit Sword Sect is full of masters from the Inner Gate Earth Martial Realm.

Even if your abilities defy the heavens in three months, they will defeat you using numbers.”

“All the Divine Alliance masters on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List have already announced that they will challenge you at No Return Cliff in three months!”

“The masters on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List, the least skilled among them is at the Eighth Level of the Earth Martial Realm.

You are far from being their match.”

“Listen to me, hide for a while.

The Divine Alliance is powerful, don’t confront them head on.”

Elder Zhang was entirely thinking of Lin Bai and earnestly advised him.

“Thank you for your reminder, Elder, I will be careful.

But what I said will not change.

Besides, isn’t there still two months before the three-month deadline?

It’s still early days.

Why worry so much?”

Lin Bai laughed lightly, appearing completely indifferent to the looming life-and-death battle in three months.

“Elder, since I have completed the task, should I be admitted into the Inner Gate?” Lin Bai asked with a smile.

“Very well, wait for a while, and I will fetch you the Identity Token and clothes of an Inner Disciple.”

After Elder Zhang finished speaking, he went into the inner hall for a while and took out several sets of clothes and Identity Tokens.

The attire for the outer sect disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect was a simple white robe.

While the attire of the Inner Disciples was a combination of white and blue.

When you wore it, people naturally recognized you as an inner sect martial artist of the Spirit Sword Sect.

After handing over the clothes and token to Lin Bai, Elder Zhang added, “Lin Bai, you are now an Inner Sect Martial Artist and can practice in the Cultivation Room.

As long as you can afford the Spiritual Stones, you can cultivate using the Spirit Sword Sect’s spiritual vein.”

Under the mountain gate of the Spirit Sword Sect, there was a spiritual vein, which was the foundation of the Spirit Sword Sect.

The founding Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect established a Cultivation Room over the spiritual vein, which could accelerate the absorption of the spiritual energy in the vein.

It was said that the spiritual energy in the Cultivation Room was three times that of the outside world, making a day of practice there equivalent to three days outside.

“Thank you for the advice, Elder.

I was planning to go to the Cultivation Room,” Lin Bai said lightly.

“By the way, Elder Zhang, I was wondering if there are any tasks in our Task Hall for obtaining high-quality Five Elements Spiritual Objects?”

Lin Bai intended to leave, but then suddenly asked another question.

Lin Bai was now trying to cultivate the Great Five Elements Skill, and he needed to find high-quality spiritual objects first.

“No, high-quality Five Elements Spiritual Objects are likely to be found in the Miracle Ridge.

But in our Shenwu Kingdom, finding even one high-quality Five Element Spiritual Object would be a miraculous stroke of luck,” said Elder Zhang, shaking his head.

“No?

Then what should I do?” Lin Bai asked, somewhat distressed.

High-quality Five Elements Spiritual Objects were surely available in the Miracle Ridge, but to go there one needed to reach the Divine Elixir Realm.

Lin Bai was only at the Third Level of the Earth Martial Realm, a far shot from Divine Elixir Realm.

Does he need to wait until he reaches the Miracle Ridge and then start cultivating the Great Five Elements Skill?

Lin Bai considered this and then shook his head.

If he began to cultivate the Great Five Elements Skill after reaching the Miracle Ridge, he would first have to consolidate the Spirit Vortex and then the Divine Elixir, which would waste too much of his time.

“It is better to cultivate the five spirit vortexes while still in the Divine Elixir Realm.

I don’t believe I can’t find a few high-quality spiritual objects suitable for cultivating the Great Five Elements Skill in the vast Shenwu Kingdom.”

“Elder Zhang, could you please help me post a task?”

“Write on the task that I am looking to buy high-quality spiritual medicines of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth attributes.

The Spiritual Medicines must be at least ten thousand years old.

I am willing to pay ten million Spiritual Stones.”

“If you can provide the whereabouts of the high-quality spiritual medicine and I succeed in acquiring it, I am also willing to pay one million Spiritual Stones as a reward.”

Spiritual Medicines are also a type of spiritual object and are quite common in the Martial World.

So they shouldn’t be too hard to find.

A ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicine should have enough medicinal effect to allow Lin Bai to cultivate a Spirit Vortex.

“Ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicine…hiss.” Elder Zhang gasped as he heard.

“Ten million Spiritual Stones…hiss!” Elder Zhang gasped again when he heard Lin Bai was willing to spend ten million Spiritual Stones.

Even for a master in the Heaven Martial Realm like Elder Zhang, ten million Spiritual Stones might be hard to come up with at once.

“This is probably the highest reward ever posted in the Task Hall,” Elder Zhang smiled.

If the Land of Origin were to appear again, perhaps one or two ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicines could be found.

But in the Shenwu Kingdom, finding a ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicine is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

“Alright, I’ll help you post the task, but I must remind you, Lin Bai, that finding a ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine in Shenwu Kingdom or even in the surrounding countries is nothing short of a pipe dream,” Elder Zhang said with a wry smile.

In Elder Zhang’s opinion, this task, whether posted or not, would make no difference.

After all, it was impossible to find ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine in Shenwu Kingdom.

“Well, let’s see if luck is on my side,” Lin Bai said, knowing the difficulty, but still holding a glimmer of hope.

A thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine and a ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicine may seem separated by just one word, but that one word makes a world of difference!

A thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine might be worth a few tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones at best.

But a ten thousand year old Spiritual Medicine, outside of the Miracle Ridge, holds inestimable value in the Lingdong’s 700 States.

Lin Bai could only hope against hope, trying his luck in the hopes of finding a ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine.
