Luo Li was filled with anger when she saw Wu Dian acting so domineering and arrogant.
Sima Dong is truly a petty person who holds grudges, and Wu Dian is just a bully who relies on others!
Luo Li had seen Wu Dian by Sima Dong's side before. At that time, he was fawning over Sima Dong with a flattering expression.
Wu Dian was clearly sent by Sima Dong to target her.
Although Luo Li was annoyed with Wu Dian, she remembered that the mission stated that all participating disciples from the sect had to go to the destination, Azure Rock Town, together, and then to disband. After disbanding, they would still have group activities, so she had to endure it.
She would have to be with this person for at least two days, so she couldn't let their relationship become too strained.
Lu Chuan had spent some time disguising himself as Meng Qing. The disguise was simple, but he had bought new clothes for Lu Chuan.
As soon as he arrived at the gate and the gathering point, he saw Wu Dian pointing and gesturing at Luo Li.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the system suddenly sounded.
"Detected that the protagonist Luo Li is feeling angry.
Rewarding mission points: 300.
Accumulated villain points: 2,400."
300 points, why is it so high! Lu Chuan exclaimed in his heart.
Ever since the system's point shop was upgraded, as long as Luo Li was nearby and felt negative emotions, the system would detect it and give Lu Chuan corresponding points.
In the past month, Lu Chuan had been humiliating Luo Li every day, but the effect was getting worse and worse, and the points given were getting fewer and fewer. The least he had received in a day was only 40 points.
Why did he receive so few points when he mocked and humiliated Luo Li every day?
Forget it, he would think about it later.
Luo Li suppressed her anger and tried to appear calm. She said, "This is my first time going out on a mission, so I hope my senior brothers and sisters can take care of me."
Although Luo Li's words sounded submissive, she did not surrender to Wu Dian. She turned around and said this to all the senior brothers and sisters present.
Seeing Luo Li showing weakness, Wu Dian smiled. He thought he had suppressed Luo Li.
Listening to Sima Dong complain about Luo Li every day, he thought he was powerful, but now he realized that he was just a new Qi Refining Stage disciple. After all, one could only rely on strength to speak outside.
Among the mission members, only Meng Qing and himself were at the Foundation Building Early Stage, while the others were all at the Qi Refining Late Stage.
On this journey, he couldn't just say whatever he wanted.
Wu Dian responded, "Good to know. On the way, if I tell you to go east, you can't go west. Be careful with everything yourself. I won't be responsible for any accidents."
Lu Chuan recalled the image of Meng Qing from the original work and casually said, "I don't have that ability yet to take care of others."
Su Lianlian was just watching Luo Li and Wu Dian from the side, expressionless, as if she had no interest in their affairs.
After everyone had gathered, they began to move towards the destination of the mission. Because their cultivation levels were low and their spiritual energy was not enough to fly on swords to the destination, they could only walk quickly.
The destination of this mission was Azure Rock Town, located west of the Wu Kingdom, near the Immortal Gate.
The eastern continent where humans reside is higher in elevation at the middle and lower in elevation at the outskirts. Immortal Gate and other sects are concentrated on the high plateau mountains in the center of the continent, while the edges of the continent are occupied by secular countries established by non-cultivators. There is a desert wasteland separating the secular countries and the cultivation sects.
Most secular countries choose cultivation sects as their backers. Every year, they offer Spirit Beasts and basic spiritual herbs in exchange for the sects' protection. Wu Country is no exception.
Half a month ago, the mayor of Azure Rock Town in Wu Country sent a letter to seek help from Immortal Gate. He mentioned that fierce beasts were rampant in the nearby mountains, and the Spirit Beasts intended for Immortal Gate had been frequently stolen by these beasts. He requested that disciples be sent to hunt and kill the beasts.
Since the first group of disciples sent out had no news until now, Immortal Gate decided to issue this task and sent Luo Li to search for the whereabouts of the missing disciples. Finding the people will be rewarded with additional benefits.
After walking briskly for a whole morning, the group travelled a 50 kilometer distance and arrived at the transitional zone between Wu Country and the cultivation sects, which was a large desert wasteland.
The wasteland was vast and sparsely populated, still, there were a few small villages even though human activity was rare.
Upon reaching a small village, Wu Dian spoke, "Rest here for a while. After resting, we need to speed up because someone might not be able to reach the Wu Country border tonight."
Wu Dian really regarded himself as the leader among the members of the mission. While speaking, he looked at Luo Li.
This was because Luo Li's speed was slower during the journey, lagging behind.
Clearly, the team leader was walking too fast! Luo Li thought indignantly.
"Detected that the protagonist Luo Li is feeling dissatisfied.
Reward for mission points: 500.
Accumulated villain points: 3,700."
500 points!
After only half a morning of action, thanks to Wu Dian's occasional sarcastic remarks towards Luo Li, Lu Chuan had already earned 1,600 points.
Thank you, Wu Dian.
The team temporarily disbanded, with Lu Chuan casually strolling around the village. He had transmigrated to the cultivation world and had not yet seen a secular town.
The village was not big, with only thirty to forty households, all the houses being flat stone houses.
Although it was located in a desert area, there were still many crops and domesticated animals such as cows, horses, and camels in the village.
When the villagers saw cultivators coming to rest in the village, they came out curiously to take a look.
"Grandma, are they immortals?" A five or six-year-old child hid behind her grandmother and stole glances at Luo Li and the others.
The older woman touched the girl's head and gently said, "Hmm, they are all cultivators, able to fly and disappear. They are indeed immortals."
"Really? So amazing! They are indeed immortals. There's also a beautiful fairy sister over there."
The little girl pointed at Su Lianlian and said, "Grandma, can I become as beautiful as an immortal when I grow up?"
The grandmother smiled and said, "Good girl, as long as you eat well and behave well, you will definitely be as beautiful as an immortal."
Most of the villagers in the village were elderly people and children. The young and middle-aged either went to Wu Country to farm or did business on the high plateau where Immortal Gate was located to earn money and were not at home.
Upon hearing the conversation between the little girl and her grandmother not far away, Su Lianlian felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She has never been sincerely praised for her beauty. All those compliments were just empty words from men trying to get close to her.
Take, for example, Meng Qing, a colleague who has always tried to please her and wanted to be her partner. He's just delusional.
And then there's Lu Chuan, who used to say she was cute...
Thinking of Lu Chuan, Su Lianlian shook her head.
She felt that Lu Chuan couldn't be compared to Meng Qing.
Throughout this journey, she had been secretly observing Luo Li. Lu Chuan had warned her multiple times to be careful around Luo Li and to report any news about him to him. She wanted to see who this Luo Li really was.
After observing him all morning, Su Lianlian felt that Luo Li was nothing special, just overly idolized by Lu Chuan.
Let's take another look. If Luo Li really isn't a big deal, maybe she can use Wu Dian or Meng Qing to get rid of Luo Li during the mission. Solve the big problem in Lu Chuan's heart and give him a surprise.
Hmph, it's not for that idiot!
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Su Lianlian's thoughts.
A man suddenly ran out from the crowd and shouted, "Immortal, it's really an immortal!"
Su Lianlian's attention returned to reality, and Luo Li and the others also looked at the old man.
He knelt in front of everyone, panting and tearfully excited, saying, "Dear immortals, please have mercy and save my grandson. He's my only grandson, he can't be in danger!"
At this moment, in the western continent, far away from the human territory, in the central temple of the Demon Sect.
"Congratulations on the Sect Master's emergence from seclusion!"
A girl who looked somewhat similar to Su Lianlian half-knelt in the center of the Demon Sect's temple.
She sensed the Sect Master's aura and knew that after she finished her seclusion, she immediately put down what she was doing and came to pay her respects.
"Congratulations my ass, it pisses me off! I had some insights and my cultivation was about to advance, but my old injuries flared up, the pain left me unable to advance."
The Sect Master of the Demon Sect sat on the chair in the hall and picked up a cup from the table, smashing it on the ground. "Damn righteous sects, claiming to be just but ambushing me. I will make them pay sooner or later!"
Su Muxu didn't dare to raise her head. The angry Sect Master was too terrifying.
"By the way, Muxu, has anything major happened during my seclusion?"
The Sect Master's voice returned to normal, it wasn't her style to vent her anger on her trusted subordinate.
Su Muxu lowered her head and reported, "Everything is normal within the Demon Sect, and there hasn't been any movement from the Demon Clan. As for the righteous sects, Su Lianlian sent a letter and then sent a manual."
"Oh? Su Lianlian is your twin sister, right? I remember she volunteered to become a spy at the Immortal Gate. It seems she has gained something. Bring me the letter and manual to have a look."
Su Muxu nodded and handed the modified "Changqing Jue" by Lu Chuan and the letter to the Sect Master for inspection. She was actually very worried.
She had also read this complete version of "Changqing Jue" several times. Although it didn't have any content similar to the Demon Sect's techniques, she found it strangely familiar. Su Muxu was worried that her sister had been deceived.
If the Sect Master also thinks this way and gets angry about it, Su Lianlian will suffer.
No matter what, she is her sister, so she can only try to rely on herself to bear the Sect Master's anger on her sister's behalf.
The Sect Master of the Demon Sect lazily read the letter.
After understanding the general situation, it means that the "Changqing Jue" sent back by Su Lianlian is currently being personally transmitted by the founder of the Immortal Gate.
This "Changqing Jue" is very meaningful to the Demon Sect.
Being able to find weaknesses in the cultivation method of the Immortal Gate and conveniently target them in a battle of techniques.
Perhaps the disciples of the Demon Sect can absorb its advantages , thereby increasing the overall strength of the Demon Sect.
The Sect Master quickly scanned Lu Chuan's modified version of the "Changqing Jue," her eyebrows furrowed, sitting upright.
"This... this is..."
In the hall, Su Muxu saw that the situation was not good and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sect Master, please calm down. If there is any problem, find me. Please spare Su Lianlian this time. She was just eager to make contributions and was deceived by someone."
"Muxu, what are you saying? Get up quickly.
I'm just amazed at how extraordinary this "Changqing Jue" is. Just by reading it once, I feel my cultivation improving, and even my old injuries are alleviated to some extent.
Truly unparalleled, it is the work of the founder of the Immortal Gate!"
The Sect Master of the Demon Sect waved his hand, "Your sister has done a great deed. Go and record it for her, give her some rewards, and when it's time to select the Saintess, give her more support.
You can leave now. I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and need to meditate.
Take care of the matters of the Demon Sect."
"Yes."
Su Muxu felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her own level is not enough to understand the profoundness of the original version of the "Changqing Jue" by the founder of the Immortal Gate.
Leaving the sacred hall, Su Muxu sincerely felt happy for her sister, but also felt tired.
As the trusted aide of the Sect Master, she had a lot of work to do. It was hard enough for her to have a few days off when the Sect Master came out of seclusion, but she didn't expect that she would have to go into seclusion again.
No, she must give Su Lianlian more rewards. She doesn't have overtime pay, and the Sect Master said to give more, so she will give generously.
Su Muxu picked four Fifth Grade Law Treasures from the treasure trove and took dozens of spiritual herbs from the herb garden to put in the storage ring and sent them to Su Lianlian.
Anyway, the Sect Master never pays attention to these things, so she can just report any number she wants. It can be considered as her own reward for working overtime.
Su Lianlian never wrote to her. If she knew that she was the trusted aide of the Sect Master, would she come and get close to her?
Forget it, it's better to keep it a secret from her sister for now. She hasn't established a stable position in the Demon Sect yet. She will give her a surprise when she has influence in the Demon Sect.
Will her sister, who has always pretended to be strong and arrogant, come to coax her when that day comes? She will have to speak well of her in front of the Sect Master.
Looking forward to that day.
