*SMACK!*
"What did I tell you about using that?!" Elder ZaiMing raged as he slapped his closed fan across the back of Madlenkosi's head.
"But Master, I was provoked! I refuse to believe I did anything wrong!" He retorted.
"Ah!? And talking back as well! Ha! Seems you didn't get hit hard enough!"
"Due to what you did I had to reimburse so many elders for your mischievousness! Do you know how much money I lost to those conniving old foxes!?" Elder ZaiMing continued to argue as his veins pulsed and he waved his fan in the air.
After he calmed himself he turned to Madlenkosi, due to what you did and to appease the other elders. "We have decided that you will be going on a sect mission to the Eastern Borders of GuangXi."
"The more easterly you go the more lawless lands you find, so be vigilant. You will have to travel to a place name Evil Men's Valley to execute two rogue cultivators who recently killed a few Inner Sect disciples who were gaining Intel within the region."
"Evil Men's Valley is a completely lawless land where the size of the fists reign supreme, though it would be best if you'd at least be Foundation Building to carry out this mission." He continued as he stood with his hands clasped behind him.
"The elders have judged that by the strength you exhibited, you should be around a first layer Foundation Building disciple so it won't be too difficult."
"The targets of your mission are the two sworn brothers, Long Wei and Li Wei, they were previously disciples of the Blood Buddha Sect. Also from our most recent information, they have strength at the peak of Qi Condensation. "
"Elder ZaiMing not to interrupt but won't young lord miss the Buddha's Gate Dao Meet?" Li BiHua interjected.
As Madlenkosi turned to look at Li BiHua, he then cast his gaze to his master to hear his reply.
"The Buddha's Gate Dao Meet is has been postponed by 4 months and it's being held within The Heaven's Heart Pagoda in Luoyang. There will be disciples from all the sects within GuangXi so I'm hoping you make it and bring honor to the sect."
Madlenkosi nodded as he bowed slightly to his master, "I'll do my best."
"Go and cultivate, you need to be as strong as possible before you leave the sect, you have half a month before you have to set out. This is a Lunar Tears, it is to help you with your next major realm breakthrough to the Inner Casting Realm. Use it to refine the lungs as it will allow you to be able to breathe in spiritual Qi from the atmosphere. " Master ZaiMing handed him a small bottle of concentrated lunar qi that emitted a pale blue light.
"Thank you, master," He said as he was shooed away to go cultivate.
As he and Li BiHua got to their courtyard they found a tall young man standing outside with two sabers on his waist and donning a pristine black and white robe.
As they drew closer they noticed it was Song Jiuge.
"Oh? Senior brother Song, what brings you here?" He asked as he approached.
"I have already placed everything in order since I shall be following you from today" He bowed slightly as he said.
Li BiHua had a small smirk on her face as her nose went into the air, " Follow the young lord? Who? You? What can you possibly help with?"
Song Jiuge gritted his teeth as he glared at Li BiHua, " I have heard of Junior Jīn's Sect Mission and I have come to offer my assistance, I know the Eastern Border Region quite well since my Song family is situated there. "
"Oh? That is quite useful, you'd save us time, thank you." He replied as they entered the courtyard.
"I'm going to enter secluded cultivation, I'll see you all in the next 2 weeks. "
After fighting and removing the stifling feeling, he could tell he was on the cusp of another breakthrough in his Chi of 3 Purities Training Method.
As he sat in his chambers he placed the jade-dragon statue within his lap and began revolving his Qi cultivation technique.
As the Qi was repeatedly washed his cultivating speed slowly increased and his Qi became purer.
Soon he was able to break through to the peak of the second stage, then the initial layer of the 3rd. He broke through to the initial 7th Layer as his Qi began to change into 3 Purities Chi.
It billowed around him as his aura became thicker and thicker, his body was washed as well as his life qi as his body was purified.
As his eyes opened, a white flame jumped around in his pupils as his golden eyes were deep like a molten gold ocean.
"About time, now to take the YuYang Pill."
He had saved this pill for the best time to use it, and he felt that it may help his training method so it was best to use it when he was the 3rd layer.
As he placed the pill in his mouth, it slowly turned into a liquid that diffused into his flesh, skin, and muscles. The liquid slowly passed over his body inch by inch and burnt it clean as it swept away all the residual impurities.
His cultivation method began to activate on its own as his Chi of 3 Purities and his Life Qi was purified yet again giving his Chi a bright white glow and his Life Qi a vibrant golden hue.
7 days later the effects of the pill subsided as his Qi cultivation technique broke through yet again to the mid of the 3rd stage and his body cultivation method finally reached the 5th stage.
He began to circulate his life qi following the 5th layer of the Dragon Subduing Manual. Golden flames coated him as it slowly began refining his body and internal organs...
He had a week left and he was going to sit and refine himself in Yang flames until then...
