Chapter 1736: Mission

Each of them, including Tan Shaoting, received a task token, which is needed for submission when they return, and is required to claim the Immortal Crystal. Furthermore, they don’t need to submit an Immortal Crystal again for re-entry into the city.

After accepting the tasks and memorizing the map, the group left the city.

They happened upon those two individuals but neither exchanged greetings; they left directly.

Thanks to the flying boat, they didn’t need much time to cover thousands of miles.

Though it was said to be thousands of miles, it was actually several tens of thousands. Three days later, they arrived at Xingyun Mountain.

"Now I finally understand what a mountain truly is; it’s quite magnificent."

"When we return, we must buy some books. We feel like illiterates."

Once inside Xingyun Mountain, they felt the lush surroundings; the environment was truly favorable.

In such an environment, Qi Hong felt most comfortable; this is the advantage of having a Spirit Root.

"I can communicate with the Immortal Plants here."

"Second Brother, how big is your trump card?" Qi Hao marveled.

"Second Brother, see if there are any Golden Crystal Rabbits around?" Qi Wen said.

"There’s no rush; let’s find a place first. Everyone should at least recognize the Immortal Plants, right?"

Qi Hong nodded and soon smiled. "Mother, there’s a good spot not far away."

"Second Brother, I’m envious of you."

The group followed after Qi Hong. They didn’t pay much attention to the surroundings, and even if they did, they wouldn’t recognize much.

Just a short distance away, they quickly advanced for a day before arriving.

There was a kind of dark green vine here. "Be careful, they won’t attack proactively, but if they do, it’s terribly bothersome."

Right now, Qi Hong was left to handle it. He swiftly discovered a cave behind the vines.

"There’s nothing inside."

The group entered and felt a bit eerie. Everyone brought out Moonlight Stones.

"Mother, the cave is deep. Should we go inside?"

"We should go inside." Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense was the strongest. She sensed the difference in the Immortal power inside; the long-armed ape had already confirmed, there’s a Wood Attribute Immortal Crystal Mine here, perfect for Qi Hong.

Nothing here was free; everyone felt the difference in Immortal power.

While walking, Su Yuanyuan said, "There’s a Wood Attribute Immortal Crystal Vein here. Qi Hong, you should collect some."

"Yes, I feel so comfortable here."

"Mother, is a Wood Spirit Root really that advantageous? Our Spirit Roots don’t offer such benefits in water."

"You’ll have a chance to try it in the future."

Xiao Ya sighed inwardly; even though their mother is powerful, one tree is hard to prop up alone; fortunately, she arranged such capable allies.

The group continued onward. The Immortal Qi grew increasingly dense.

"Mother, was this place reserved for my Second Brother?" Qi Wen asked.

"It appears the vines outside are protecting it."

"Yes, indeed the vines outside are safeguarding this area."

"Has this place always been reserved for Second Brother?"

Mu Tian was truly envious. Following them, he realized all good things were theirs.

At the cave’s end, it felt damp, which should be the reason for the eerie atmosphere.

Qi Hong quickly sensed the position of the Immortal Crystal Vein.

There’s no issue in collecting Spirit Veins; the same goes for Immortal Veins.

Qi Hong simply pulled out a segment, collected it, and even tidied the place afterward.

Su Yuanyuan was already seated, beginning to copy the Immortal Plant Encyclopedia and the Mineral Collection onto a Jade Scroll.

Once the first copy was done, Tan Shaoting took responsibility for replicating it.

This way, there was no waste for the couple.

The group hadn’t undertaken tasks yet; they needed to enrich themselves.

Previously, they were top-tier individuals, memorizing these things wasn’t too challenging.

There would be practical experience later; with Qi Hong around, it wasn’t too difficult.

Along the way everything looked lush, but not much was genuinely useful.

"Second Brother, are you going to practice Alchemy?"

"Yes, we also need to prepare some healing medicine."

"Golden Crystal Rabbit."

There really were a few, which excited Qi Hao and Qi Xuan. Although they knew it was still only the outer periphery, it was quite dull to see ordinary Immortal Plants all the way.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t mind them; she was now researching Arrays while walking, which was crucial.

Arrays had proven immensely helpful when they were in the Cultivation World.

Tan Shaoting was protecting his wife, while also perusing the Talisman Collection.

Qi Wen’s current Swordsmanship was taught by her mother; it’s an excellent time to practice the sword.

That was everyone’s thought. But a mentor was still a mentor; Mu Tian waited beside Qi Wen, and Zhu Huai’en observed his two disciples.

Although currently they don’t surpass their disciples in cultivation, their hearts remain unchanged; disciples are disciples.

"There are too few Golden Crystal Rabbits here."

"Keep going, there will be more."

Seeing the group of Golden Crystal Rabbits ahead, except for Su Yuanyuan, everyone engaged in battle.

They’re quite adept in combat. Especially Qi Wen’s Swordsmanship, becoming increasingly refined, and truly fitting her.

Su Yuanyuan had already set up an Isolation Array on the side.

It’s the most low-level Array, but her face is full of smiles; its meaning is different.

After this journey, they needed to bring back Blank Array Plates and tools; in Su Yuanyuan’s eyes, nothing’s more important than Arrays.

This time there were sufficient quantities for two people. Considering their situation, they needed to continue forward.

"That’s quite good; we’re only missing the last two ingredients for the healing medicine’s Immortal plants. Let’s move deeper and see; if they’re all gathered, I plan to fire up the furnace."

Even cultivators or immortals often sustain injuries; healing medicine is crucial.

As they proceeded, the number of Golden Crystal Rabbits increased. Thus, battles became rather frequent.

Everyone was advancing. The situation here was quite unique, but they quickly figured out the situation.

That day, during battle, Qi Yan suddenly entered a mysterious state.

Su Yuanyuan noticed, and protected him closely. Observing his swordplay growing faster.

Qi Yan was a genuine Sword Cultivator; the others were not. Could he be advancing due to battle?

The family noticed his state as well and gathered around to protect him.

Half an hour later, the Immortal power surged greatly, and Qi Yan broke through to Profound Immortal.

The Golden Crystal Rabbits had been eliminated, sufficient for five people.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan looked on enviously at their eldest brother. This way of advancement was truly enviable.

Currently, only Su Yuanyuan, Tan Shaoting, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Rue had reached Profound Immortal, while the others continued cultivating.

Subsequent battles had those not yet at Profound Immortal as the main forces.

Qi Hong also withdrew; all healing medicine Immortal plants were already collected. That night, they found another cave. This time he showcased his skills.

With family present, there’s no need to defend against anyone.

Everyone watched his smooth motions with envy.

Xiao Ya whispered, "Mother, in the Immortal World, practicing Alchemy is as rare as it is in the Cultivation World."

"We have your Second Brother."

"Yes, we have my Second Brother." Xiao Ya sighed. Observing, both her eldest and second brother haven’t fully recovered their previous memories.

"Mother, I want to return to the West."

"Your cultivation level isn’t there yet, is it?"

"Yes, it isn’t, but I’m not willing to wait."
