Chapter One Hundred: Mission Hall

  In the following days, Qin Yong calmly practiced in the yard, Xiantian Sword Qi was stronger than True Qi, but wanting to have attributes was much more difficult. Qin Yong did not rush to take the Shuiguan Fruit, it was best to wait until after reaching the Xuankong Realm before taking it, so Qin Yong could only endure.

  In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. On this day, Qin Yong woke up from his cultivation, with a steady breath on his body. But who could have imagined that Qin Yong had already broken through to the 9th level of Qi Wu Realm? This cultivation speed was in no way inferior to that of a top-notch yellow-grade genius. Qin Yong had also utilized various resources to achieve this.

  Thanks to the halo of Da Lü, Qin Yong had a threefold increase in cultivation speed, and with the help of Qi Ling Dan, it reached six times. In addition to this, Xue Man Ye Niu Rou and Yao He were also things that could help with cultivation. Adding to this, Qin Yong ruthlessly used even the Wu Xing LV1 seal, only then was he able to break through in these ten days.

  For ten days, the LV1 Insight emblem was used for more than ten hours a day, and nearly 1,000 aura points were squandered by Qin Yong. If it weren't for killing the Bloodthirsty Wild Ox and obtaining almost 4,500 aura points, Qin Yong wouldn't have been willing to use it like this. However, using the LV1 Insight emblem for these ten days brought Qin Yong an unexpected gain - the upgrade of the LV1 Insight emblem.

  Insight LV1 pattern upgraded to Insight LV2 pattern, double insight became fivefold insight, but the consumption of air fortune points also changed from 10 points per hour to 100 points per hour. In other words, if Qin Yong uses it for all 12 hours a day now, he will need a full 1200 air fortune points, and in just over three days, it will be enough to make Qin Yong return to being poor.

  But five times the perception, absolutely terrifying to the extreme, so Qin Yong didn't disappoint, but instead felt surprised. There's just one thing, Qin Yong can't figure out why his Perception LV1 tattoo leveled up, this innate talent tattoo Qin Yong knew couldn't be upgraded with synthetic tattoos before, now it's even more inexplicable that he leveled up himself.

  In the end, Qin Yong could only think that it was probably because he had used it for a sufficient amount of time that the Insight LV1 tattoo had leveled up. In any case, the leveling up of the Insight tattoo was greatly beneficial to Qin Yong, playing a crucial role in both his cultivation and comprehension of other things.

  For the past ten days, Qin Yong has been sleeping for only two hours each day. After becoming a martial cultivator, he can recover his physical strength even during cultivation. Therefore, Qin Yong doesn't need too much time to cultivate anymore. Spending two hours sleeping is just to replenish his mental state. The remaining ten hours are used for cultivation, including practicing the Xiantian Sword Qi Technique to improve his cultivation, as well as comprehending the Fengyun Sword Method and the Virtual Tour Step.

  Although it was unintentional at first, it eventually became a good thing. The essence of the Wind and Cloud Swordsmanship is three states of mind: wind, cloud, and sword. As for the Void Traveling Steps, there are two states of mind: wind and water.

  Among them, the artistic conception of clouds is a variation of the artistic conception of water. Although it can be said that understanding one does not necessarily lead to understanding the other, there are still some commonalities between them. If you can understand and then borrow from this to make analogies, it will be easier to understand another kind of artistic conception. As for the remaining artistic conception of wind, it is even more direct.

  It can be said that the Wind Cloud Sword Technique and the Void Traveling Step, apart from the understanding of the moves, are actually connected in terms of their intent. This is enough to save Qin Yong a lot of hard work. Of course, it's easy to say this, but wanting to grasp an intent is extremely difficult. Even among the inner sect disciples, there are only a few who can grasp the intent. As for the outer sect, there are only three people who have directly grasped it. Xu Donglin, that yellow-grade genius, has only slightly sensed it and cannot truly grasp the intent. If Xu Donglin had grasped even half of the Wind's intent, his movements would have undergone a qualitative change, and at that time, the top three outer sect disciples could have competed with him.

  Qin Yong now only grasps half of the sword intent, and that's through the Sword Intent Grass. Back then, Qin Yong even used the LV1 Insight Mark, wanting to grasp more sword intent, but ultimately failed, which shows just how difficult it is to grasp the realm.

  Although he couldn't grasp the intent, Qin Yong still had a slight understanding of the Wind Cloud Sword Technique and the Void Traveling Steps. This was a good start. At this point, Qin Yong's strength was much stronger than ten days ago, and even without relying on the Air Operation Seal, he could already contend with ordinary second-rate martial artists in the Xuanwu Realm. For a martial artist who couldn't release their true energy outside of their body, this was already an impressive fighting force.

  At this time, the battle with Ma Wei was only half a month away, but Qin Yong had already been confident of winning against Ma Wei before, and now he would not regard Ma Wei as a threat again. Qin Yong did not care about Ma Wei's affairs, but instead considered going out to perform tasks.

  These ten days have been spent cultivating, in order to digest the gains from battle, and now it's almost done, it's time to go out. As for other tasks, Qin Yong didn't have much interest, but the task of hunting down demonic beasts in Red Leaf Forest, Qin Yong was very interested in.

  Firstly, the contribution points obtained from hunting tasks are high enough for Qin Yong to exchange them for useful items. Secondly, hunting and killing demon beasts can increase his aura luck, which is something that Qin Yong cares more about than contribution points, whether it's for upgrading his aura halo or purchasing aura tattoos, both of which require aura luck points.

  After breaking through to the 9th level of Qi Wu, Qin Yong decided to go to the Task Hall and take a look at what tasks were available in the Red Leaf Forest. At this point, Qin Yong was no longer the cautious dragon suit he was a month ago.

  After making up his mind, Qin Yong left the courtyard and arrived at the Task Hall. The Task Hall was not far from the Elder's Palace, last time Liu Long led the way, Qin Yong still remembered the situation, so it wasn't difficult to find the place. As soon as he entered the Task Hall, Qin Yong immediately felt a sense of congestion.

  Although it's not really crowded, seeing the dense crowd of people naturally gives rise to a feeling of congestion. This is just the outer gate task hall, and everyone who comes here are outer gate disciples. The task hall is the main way to obtain contribution points, and it's the most lively place in the entire outer gate. In comparison, the elder hall is relatively quiet, because except for promoting outer gate disciples and some other miscellaneous matters, people rarely go to the elder hall.

  Qin Yong finally arrived in front of the task wall, looking at the dense task list. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be dizzy at first glance. Qin Yong's eyelids also jumped a few times at first, but soon adapted to it.

  The tasks on the task wall are diverse, with internal and external distinctions. Internal tasks are to guard or tidy up important places, with relatively low contribution value, generally done by outer door disciples of the Qi Wu realm. External tasks, on the other hand, carry no small risk, whether it's protecting people, clearing mountain bandits, hunting and killing demonic beasts, etc., all requiring extraordinary combat power. These tasks are mostly done by outer door disciples of the Xuan Wu realm or extremely powerful nine-layered Qi Wu realm.
