According to an ancient saying, tili past a chink in a wall That is exactly what happened for Bai Xiaochun A month later, cold winds blen the Heavenspan River and through the Spirit Stream Sect All of a sudden, Bai Xiaochun realized that he had been in the sect for a year already

The past year had been chock-full of one event after another He had left the world of mortals to become a cultivator, elevated his cultivation base to the third level of Qi Condensation, and had resolved all the conflicts that cropped up due to hi the Ovens

Xu Baocai never showed up at the Ovens again, and when Bai Xiaochun left on supply runs and saw him from a distance, he would scurry away, clearly terrified

Despite all of that, however, after a month went by, Bai Xiaochun looked as anxious as ever, and was sighing constantly He didn’t talk to Big Fatty Zhang and the others about his concerns; he sievity…” he thought, looking at a tree off in the distance, whose leaves had already begun to turn yellow and fall to the ground

“I’ leaves are just likereached this point in his train of thought, Bai Xiaochun suddenly felt very senti the course of the past month, he had coevity, and yet, that white hair on his head remained as white as ever He , and learned that in the cultivation world, evity However, such methods were either well-kept secrets, or as easy to track down as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn

Soon, he even lost interest in eating and drinking, and his face became wan and pallid Eventually, he decided that he had no choice but to give up and accept the fact that he had lost the longevity However, the following day when he went out on an Ovens supply run, he happened to catch sight of an enormous stone stele below the Third Peak, and all of a sudden, he started to pant

On the south bank of the Spirit Stream Sect, all of the mountain peaks had stone steles like this one It was covered with dense script, lines and lines of writing that glittered with bright light Occasionally, the lines of script would flow like water as old characters were replaced by new ones

That stone stele here missions were handed out by the Spirit Stream Sect Anyone in the sect anted to could accomplish the missions to earn the spirit stones necessary for cultivation, as well as merit points

The merit points could be used to pay adical Arts Pavilion They could also be used to gain access to all sorts of special places in the sect set aside for certain aspects of cultivation Virtually everything in the sect could be acquired with merit points, and they were actually viewed as more valuable than spirit stones

There were even so with the Outer Sect disciples The servants wore their uniforreen robes e it very easy to tell ho

There were certain missions that only Inner Sect disciples could accept, but missions like that wouldn’t show up on this particular stone stele The missions here could be accepted by Outer Sect disciples and servants alike

Many ambitious servants viewed this place as their first step in becoate, achieving a meteoric rise

Bai Xiaochun stood there for the tirim as he stared at one particular line of script in the middle of the stone stele Eventually, a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes

“Age-Prolonging Longevity-Enhancing Pill…” he ined that this stone stele would offer a medicinal pill like that as a reward From the naevity” After a bit of thought, he approached the ed cultivator

When the Outer Sect disciples sensed Bai Xiaochun approaching, they co their status, they didn’t care at all about servants, who they viewed as beneath theed cultivator thinned a bit, then, looking as charreeting

“Good afternoon, Elder Brother,” he said

The ed cultivator looked Bai Xiaochun up and down, then nodded slightly

The probleevity swirled in Bai Xiaochun’s o search for soevity-Enhancing Pill Might I ask whether or not that pill is useful for extending longevity?”

“Age-Prolonging Longevity-Enhancing Pill… Yeah, it’s this e and enhance your longevity In fact, it adds a whole year However, it has a lot of limitations It can only be used if you’re at the fifth level of Qi Condensation or lower, and can only be consumed once If you take the pillYou could say that it’s valuable, but unfortunately, one year of longevity doesn’t really count forand innocent Bai Xiaochun looked, the ed cultivator decided to add a bit , this is a pill that disciples will give to theirthe ends of their lives However, it’s still very expensive Do you want to accept the mission?”

Bai Xiaochun looked back at the stone stele, did soed cultivator waved his finger at the stone stele, and the ray At the same time, he produced a jade slip which he handed over to Bai Xiaochun

“Greenspirit Leaf, Earthdragon Fruit, and Stonebeetle Husk,” the man said coolly “Collect the proper aredients, and you can exchange the Pill” After that, he paid no further heed to Bai Xiaochun, and instead turned and began to explain other missions to the nearby Outer Sect disciples
