The one who knocked was an Outer Sect Disciple who had joined at the same time as Li Xuanfeng.
"In four days, your cultivation will be tested at the True Martial Hall. Be sure to arrive on time!"
"If you fail to appear, it will be treated as a forfeiture, and you will be sent down the mountain!"
The Disciple left after delivering the message.
Li Xuanfeng remained calm.
Because he no longer needed to worry about this.
He was already close to being promoted to inner Sect, so naturally, he didn't need to worry about being sent down the mountain.
"Wei Qingyan just had a Breakthrough, and it will take her at least a few days to Breakthrough again."
"Before the cultivation test, I probably won't be able to Breakthrough to the Qi Circulation Realm."
"I'll look for a mission these two days!"
Li Xuanfeng mused.
Outer Sect Disciples must complete at least one mission every month.
Missions varied in size.
Large ones included going down the mountain to find medicinal herbs, investigating certain incidents, hunting designated Yao Beasts, or even slaying bandits and brigands.
Small ones included guarding the mountain, escorting Yao Beasts, patrolling the Sect gate, transporting supplies, and so on.
Simply put, there were dangerous ones and non-dangerous ones.
Dangerous missions generally offered good rewards.
Non-dangerous missions also provided enough reward for Outer Sect Disciples to Cultivate for a period.
In the past, Li Xuanfeng would specifically go to the Affairs Hall and wait.
He would compete with other Outer Sect Disciples for low-risk missions; if you were fast, you got one; if you were slow, you didn't.
His talent was average, and his strength was average, so he had no other choice.
But times were different now; he no longer needed to go to the Affairs Hall in advance to compete for missions with fellow Disciples in the Body Tempering Realm.
The Affairs Hall was extremely vast.
It resembled a true imperial palace.
Most of the Outer Sect's affairs could be handled here.
Receiving missions was one of them.
Elders would organize and display each mission.
Mission details and rewards were clearly written.
Disciples could register and claim missions with their identity tokens.
"Due to a Disciple from Dong Yaoyuan Section C being out on business, a Disciple is needed to help take care of the medicinal garden for three days."
"Requirements: Must have some knowledge of medicinal herbs, relevant experience in managing a medicinal garden, no cultivation Realm requirement."
"Reward: Half a bottle of Body Tempering Spiritual Liquid."
......
"Outer Sect Disciple Wu Jiu went down the mountain to perform a mission and has not returned for seven days past the deadline. Disciples are now needed to investigate the situation."
"Requirements: Two Disciples with a cultivation Realm of Spirit Aperture Realm Third Level or higher, who have learned a Human Rank Medium Grade Body Technique Martial Skill. Disciples with investigative experience are preferred."
"Reward: Two Zhenqiao Pills."
......
Li Xuanfeng quickly scanned a few missions.
He found the rewards to be quite ordinary, not what he wanted.
He wasn't in a hurry to claim one, as missions were updated almost daily.
He planned to come back tomorrow to check again.
"Senior Brother Li!"
Just as he turned around, Li Xuanfeng heard a familiar voice.
Who else could it be but Wei Qingyan?
"Are you also here to claim a mission?"
Li Xuanfeng said with a smile.
"Just taking a look."
Wei Qingyan said.
Outer Sect Disciples must complete one mission every month; this was a mandatory Sect rule.
However, she wasn't planning to just claim any mission to complete it.
She no longer had much need for Body Tempering Spiritual Liquid; instead, she needed better Cultivation resources.
So, like Li Xuanfeng, she placed more importance on mission rewards.
After a quick glance, she also decided to come back tomorrow.
The two walked out of the hall, chatting and laughing.
"Is that Wei Qingyan, the top scorer in this entrance examination?"
"She's truly beautiful, like a Fairy!"
"Who is she talking to? Their relationship seems quite unusual!"
"He looks a bit familiar, but I don't know him!"
Wei Qingyan's appearance was outstanding, and her demeanor was cool and aloof.
Although she had only been in the Sect for less than a month, through word of mouth among the Disciples, she had already become the most beautiful woman in the Outer Sect.
However, she rarely appeared in public and seemed very aloof, not easy to approach.
It was unexpected that she was just now chatting and laughing with Li Xuanfeng, which greatly surprised everyone.
"I know him. His name is Li Xuanfeng. He entered Hundred Sword Mountain at the same time as me. It's said that his Realm has not yet broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm, and he will be sent down the mountain in a few days!"
A Disciple nearby said indifferently.
Not many people knew Li Xuanfeng, because he was too low-key.
Poor talent, weak strength, no background, no connections; he couldn't be anything but low-key!
"So he's a good-for-nothing!"
"I remember there will be a unified cultivation test in three or four days, I wonder if he'll still be able to smile then?"
"Hehe, we can go watch the fun then!"
Someone whose cultivation was almost at the bottom among Disciples of the same period, yet walked so closely with a Fairy-like figure, it was hard not to make people jealous.
......
The two separated shortly after leaving the Mission Hall.
Wei Qingyan walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.
"Sword Spirit Sister, what was wrong with you just now?"
After Li Xuanfeng's figure disappeared, Wei Qingyan couldn't help but ask.
When she saw Li Xuanfeng in the Mission Hall just now, she seemed to hear the Sword Spirit's uncertain exclamations.
Then it fell silent.
At that time, she was chatting with Li Xuanfeng and it was inconvenient to ask, so she only spoke in a low voice now.
"Your Senior Brother was hiding his true strength!"
"He is not at the Spirit Aperture Realm Third Level, but at the Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Stage Peak!"
The Sword Spirit's voice echoed in her mind.
"What?"
Wei Qingyan was a little surprised.
She couldn't see through Li Xuanfeng's Realm.
A Cultivator's Realm was not like a game Rank that could be seen at a glance.
There were generally several ways to know someone else's cultivation Realm.
The first was if the other party actively released all their Qi, and others could roughly judge their cultivation Realm based on the strength of the Qi.
The second was to possess powerful Divine Sense, which could be used to probe cultivation.
The third was to Cultivate some formidable Eye Technique that could see through illusions and know others' Realms.
Of course, some special Spiritual Artifacts could also be used to probe others' Realms.
Just now, Li Xuanfeng had restrained his Qi, so it was impossible for Wei Qingyan to know his Realm.
Only the Sword Spirit, whose existence was special, possessed the power of Divine Sense and could sense Li Xuanfeng's Realm.
"It seems that Senior Brother Li's root bone isn't particularly bad after all!"
After the surprise, Wei Qingyan was rather happy, as she had a good impression of Li Xuanfeng.
"It's alright!"
"Reaching Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Stage Peak in three years is good, but not excellent. At least he can't compare to you, whose Physique hasn't even had its Awakening yet!"
The Sword Spirit said indifferently.
"What puzzles me is why I didn't sense his cultivation reaching the Spirit Aperture Realm Ninth Level before."
"He should have some means of hiding cultivation, but to be able to hide it from me, could it be that I am too weak now?"
For the Sword Spirit.
Even if Li Xuanfeng's Realm reached the Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Stage Peak, it was not worth her surprise at all.
She was just curious why she hadn't discovered it before.
So after her initial surprise, she fell silent.
She finally concluded that her current state was unstable and too weak, so she hadn't observed carefully before and hadn't discovered Li Xuanfeng's true strength.
"His Comprehension Ability is good, and his root bone doesn't seem to be too bad, but it's only a matter of time before you surpass him."
"Don't keep dwelling on that past favor. You should know that when you become powerful enough, a casual uplift from you will be a great kindness, enough to repay the favor!"
"So hurry up and become stronger. Go to the Scripture Pavilion today and learn a Body Technique Martial Skill!"
"In the next few days, see if you can find a suitable mission. I hope to find news of the Nine Star Sword Grass as soon as possible."
"With the help of this grass to Awaken the Supreme Sword Body, you will truly be considered a Dragon leaping over the gate!"
Although the Sword Spirit was weak.
She had already arranged a Cultivation direction for Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan only needed to follow her guidance to become stronger at the fastest speed!
"En!"
Wei Qingyan nodded and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.
After one stick of incense.
"Ding! Wei Qingyan studied 'Youlong Body Technique' and basically understood this Martial Skill. Tenfold return, you completely understood this Martial Skill!"
Every time the System's notification sounded, it brought Li Xuanfeng Gains , and also brought him joy.
