With the birth of his second child, Lin Bai felt that his cultivation speed was much faster than before.
However, this second child still did not have spiritual roots, which made Lin Bai a little disappointed.
"I wonder if there will be a better reward for giving birth to a child with spiritual roots?"
Moreover, without the spiritual root, the child would not be able to cultivate, and their lifespan would be far less than theirs.
After consuming a few spirit stones, Lin Bai suddenly broke through again and reached the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage.
Lin Bai opened his eyes and looked at the ashes left behind by the spirit stone in his hand.
This cultivation speed was ridiculous. However, the family's spirit stones were running low. Even with the spirit stones brought by the little junior sister, there weren't enough for both of them to cultivate.
Because they had to cultivate and couldn't take care of their child, they sent the second child to residence in the secular world.
The two of them would visit the children every once in a while.
Not only did the children in the mortal world require a lot of spirit stones, but so did their cultivation in the sect.
Although he was still working in spirit fields, the income he received was limited. However, he suddenly thought that since he had reached the fifth level of Qi Refinement, he could go to the sect to register. This way, he could receive more spirit stones every month.
"Hmm? It's you again?" The senior brother in charge of registration was surprised to see Lin Bai again, as it had not been long since he last registered.
"I'm now at the fifth level of Qi Refinement Stage. I'll have to trouble you to help me register." Lin Bai said.
"Oh, okay, okay." This senior brother took a deep look at Lin Bai. In a short period, this person had continuously broken through to the fourth and fifth levels of Qi Refinement. He muttered in his heart, "Why had I never heard of this person before?" He secretly remembered Lin Bai's name.
There were a lot of people in the sect, but there were very few outstanding talents. Some talented cultivators were generally known by everyone.
There were very few people like Lin Bai who had a slow cultivation speed at the beginning, but suddenly became faster afterward.
After completing the procedures, he could receive 50 spirit stones per month!
When he was at the second level of the Qi Refinement Stage, his monthly spirit stones were pitifully low. Now, he did nothing but could receive fifty spirit stones every month.
However, this was not enough for him.
After all, he was not alone. He was with Li Yueling and many upcoming children in the future.
In the past, he could withstand the hardships of cultivating alone without a care, but now that he had a family to support, he needed to earn more spirit stones.
Moreover, he felt that his cultivation speed was much faster than before.
After leaving the Cultivation Registration Office, he arrived at the Mission Hall of the sect. There were many people inside, ranging from inner sect disciples to lower-level ones, all of whom were here to receive missions.
Lin Bai had come here before, but there weren't many missions suitable for the second level of the Qi Refinement. He could only run some errands. At that time, he was focused on cultivation and didn't pay much attention to them.
Lin Bai asked for a mission catalog to see if any missions were suitable for him.
With his current level, there was indeed a mission that he could accept. The reward was 300 spirit stones, but it required several people to form a team.
This task was to help clear out a demonic beast that is lurking around the mortals' town.
It was said that this demonic beast had not reached the Foundation Building stage yet. Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to take on this task.
After accepting the mission, Lin Fan received a jade slip. When the mission started, the jade slip would send him a message telling him where to meet others. He didn't have to wait all the time.
After returning to the abode, Lin Bai told the little junior sister about the mission he had accepted.
"Senior brother, don't go. I'm worried about you." Li Yueling held Lin Bai's arm.
"I'll be careful. Don't worry." Lin Bai said as he patted her head.
Finally, after comforting the little junior sister, Lin Bai was allowed to go.
This was the first time Lin Bai had officially carried out a mission. He was also a little nervous. Although he was now at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement, he still had to be more careful.
On the third day, the jade slip notified the team that there were enough people and sent the location. With a reluctant gaze from Li Yueling, Lin Bai left his abode.
According to the information on the jade slip, they arrived at a small platform in front of the Human Immortal Sect.
There were already a few people standing there.
This time, there were five of them doing this mission together.
They were:
Zhao Fei'er, 6th level of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Liu Dong, 5th level of Qi Refinement Stage.
Xu Xiaoran, 6th level of Qi Refinement Stage.
Zheng Yu, 5th level of Qi Refinement Stage.
Everyone got to know each other. Everyone was curious about Lin Bai because they had recently heard that there was a disciple outside who cultivated very quickly. In a short period, he improved from the third level of the Qi Refinement Stage to the fifth level.
And that person seemed to be called Lin Bai.
Zheng Yu and Zhao Fei'er were staying together all the time. They must had known each other for a long time.
Zhao Fei'er occasionally looked toward Lin Bai with a curious gaze.
Lin Bai noticed Zhao Fei'er's gaze and also glanced at her.
Zhao Fei'er was wearing a white dress. The dress only reached her knees, and her breasts were very eye-catching. It seemed that she was much bigger than the little junior sister. She was carrying a sword on her back.
What surprised Lin Bai was that Zhao Fei'er was the one who had done the most tasks in the team. Thus, she was the captain this time, leading everyone on this mission.
"Come, everyone gather around. Let's analyze this mission." Zhao Fei'er's voice was very pleasant to hear. It was soft and gentle, but there was no room for doubt.
This time, they were going to eliminate a demonic beast called the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard. This beast lurked in the woods near Qingfeng Town. It appeared and disappeared like a ghost, and many people had died in its mouth.
According to the information provided by the mayor, this demonic beast was roughly equivalent to a human at the 7th level of Qi Refinement Stage.
With a team, it would be easier to take it down.
When Zhao Fei'er was explaining the mission, she happened to be standing beside Lin Bai.
When Zhao Fei'er bent over to spread out the map, her chest shook a little.
However, Lin Bai was focused on looking at the mission map and didn't think too much about anything else.
After they had arranged the route, decided on how to lure the demon beasts out, the strategy of besieging it, and the plan to prevent the demon beasts from escaping, they set off.
When they arrived at Qingfeng Town, the mayor welcomed them warmly.
"Welcome, cultivators, to our Qingfeng Town. Please help us get rid of that demonic beast." The mayor had a sorrowful look on his face. Many people had died in the town these days. Fortunately, the Human Immortal Sect had finally sent someone over.
Everyone rested in Qingfeng Town for a few hours before setting off to kill the demonic beast.
Lin Bai also carried a sword on his back. One at Qi Refinement Stage would not learn many spells, so most of the time, it was easier to use a weapon.
However, Lin Bai realized that his perception seemed to be very sharp. As soon as he stepped into the forest, he felt a pair of eyes staring at them.
However, no one else seemed to notice. Was it also because his lifespan had increased, and his physical fitness had improved at the same time?
"Captain, it seems like we're being watched," Lin Bai quietly said to Zhao Fei'er.
