"After picking and choosing, this mission is the only one that suits me. Any higher … I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
After saying this, Wang Yan nodded, "I'll have to trouble you to handle this mission for me."
Seeing Wang Yan so insistent, the female disciple didn't say anything else.
She picked up Wang Yan's disciple jade pendant and touched it to the mission jade board. An invisible fluctuation quietly spread out before disappearing.
"Done."
After receiving the disciple jade pendant, Wang Yan bowed, "Many thanks."
But just as he turned around, before he could even take a step, the female disciple's shout came from behind him.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Wang, please … please wait a moment."
Raising his eyebrows, Wang Yan turned around and asked with a smile, "Is there a problem?"
"Senior-apprentice Brother Wang is hunting a third-rank pill beast. Are you, are you alone?"
Facing this sudden question, Wang Yan paused for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "Is there a difference?"
"If Senior-apprentice Brother Wang is alone, then junior apprentice sister, junior apprentice sister advises you to form a team."
"After all, a third-rank pill beast is comparable to a peak third-level Star Refining cultivator. It's extremely difficult to deal with!"
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized, "Many thanks."
Before long, the news that Wang Yan had accepted the mission to kill a third-rank pill beast spread like wildfire.
In a short period of time, it spread throughout the entire Sun Sect. Discussions about Wang Yan once again set off.
If he hadn't gone through the sect's minor competition, then Wang Yan accepting the mission to kill a third-rank pill beast would have been a joke in the eyes of others.
No matter how terrifying Wang Yan's combat strength was, no matter how unfathomable, it was impossible for him to complete this mission.
After all, he was at the Star Forging realm against a peak third-level Star Refining realm, and it was even a pill beast.
No matter what level of Star Forging he was at, even if he was at the peak of the Star Forging realm, he had no chance of winning.
There was no other reason than the difference between the two realms was like clouds and mud.
A Star Forging cultivator's dantian contained star force in the thousands, but a Star Refining cultivator's dantian contained tens of thousands.
With a thousand against ten thousand, it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker without even looking.
But now, not a single person thought that the matter of Wang Yan accepting the mission to kill a Tier 3 Pill Beast was a joke. Instead, they all thought that this was a small matter that could be easily accomplished.
There were even some who felt that Wang Yan shouldn't have accepted the mission of killing a Third Tier Pill Beast. Instead, he should have killed a Fifth Tier Pill Beast, or even a Ninth Tier Pill Beast.
Wang Yan pretended that nothing had happened in the face of the outside world's discussions and walked straight to his residence.
But at this moment, an ear-piercing sound of wind breaking rang out from behind.
The newcomer was extremely ferocious and didn't bother to conceal his presence.
In the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint, Wang Yan suddenly stopped, turned around, bent his arm, and threw a punch.
The entire movement was done in one go, as smooth as flowing water.
It was as if Wang Yan had practiced this series of movements thousands of times.
It looked natural and contained a hint of indescribable profoundness.
"It's me!"
Just as the astral power in his Dantian was about to gush out of his arm, a familiar voice rang in Wang Yan's ears.
In an instant, Wang Yan dispersed his astral power with a thought.
"It's you. Why did you come out?"
The newcomer was none other than Liu Chen, who had disappeared after coming out of the Ancient Mystery Land.
Liu Chen looked the same as always. She wore a green silk robe and her hair was neatly combed. Her face was as smooth as jade and she looked extremely handsome.
His handsome face had a signature evil smile on it, and his whole person seemed to be filled with an indescribable evil charm.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean why did I come out?
Do you think I'm still in the Ancient Mystery Land? "
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. He was about to speak when Liu Chen suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to him.
"This is not the place to talk. Follow me."
After saying that, Liu Chen turned into a stream of light and flew toward the mountain behind the Sun Sect.
Although he didn't really understand why Liu Chen was being so pretentious, Wang Yan suppressed his curiosity and followed closely.
A moment later, the two of them appeared in a secluded forest behind the Sun Sect.
"You came to me out of the blue. What's the matter? Just tell me."
Wang Yan was straightforward. Liu Chen was stunned at first, then she smiled evilly. "Heh, how do you know that I came to you for something?"
"You're not the kind of person who talks to people for no reason. Also, I'm not a girl."
Hearing that, Liu Chen smiled awkwardly. Then, she walked toward Wang Yan and lowered her voice. "I found a Mystery Land. Are you interested in going with me?"
Wang Yan frowned. As if reading his mind, Liu Chen quickly said, "Don't think too much. It's not an ancient Mystery Land. It's just a simple Mystery Land."
"Ever since I left the ancient mystic realm, I've found a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion."
"A few days ago, I accidentally found a Mystery Land. But it's shrouded in clouds and mist. I don't know how dangerous it is."
"So you came to me and wanted me to lead the way for you?" Before Liu Chen could finish, Wang Yan interrupted.
Smiling awkwardly, Liu Chen nodded. "If you must think that way, there's nothing I can do."
"How about it?
Are you going or not?
Just give me the answer. "
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan finally nodded.
No one could become an unparalleled powerhouse by training hard all the time.
Every person who stood at the top of the pyramid had gone through countless bloody battles to achieve unparalleled fame.
Now that he was going out to train, it would be good to use this opportunity to train in an unknown Mystery Land.
"Okay, when can you leave?"
"Tomorrow then."
…
After parting ways with Liu Chen, Wang Yan did not return to his residence. Instead, he found Cang Jin and told him the purpose of his visit.
Cang Jin did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Wang Yan saw Lin and Wang Xian 'er playing happily.
And the object of their play was Hei Yun.
After watching for a while, Wang Yan felt bored.
"Okay, stop playing. There's something serious to do."
Then, Wang Yan told them about what Liu Chen had said and his mission to kill a third-rank Pill Beast.
Wang Xian 'er and Lin did not object. Just like Cang Jin, they nodded in agreement without hesitation.
After dealing with this matter, Wang Yan looked at Lin who had recovered. "How is it?
Did you successfully break through to the Star Refining Realm? "
Lin clenched his fists excitedly. "Thanks to big brother's help, otherwise, I don't know what accident would have happened."
With a sigh, Wang Yan patted Lin's shoulder. "Don't worry. Leave it to big brother to deal with the pain you will have to bear during the breakthrough."
After settling Lin, Wang Yan walked into the secret cultivation room again.
Although he had to leave early the next morning, he wanted to compress and integrate his Star Power before leaving. After all, it was a life-saving move.
In addition to the Bury Heaven Divine Rune, compressing and integrating his cultivation to form Star Power was also a killer move.
Even the lethality of the latter far exceeded the former!
