Become Eternals

Xiaochun Trying to Quit the Sect

At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight appeared into the sky, Bai Xiaochun felt his identity medallion tremble. He stood there in front of his courtyard, looked back at what had been his home for the past two years, and let out a long sigh.

“I definitely have to be very careful. I really can't lose my poor little life…. ” Bai Xiaochun had a very anxious expression on his face. He was wearing eight layers of leather clothes, and was wearing a large black skillet from Big Fatty Zhang on his back. Although she is actually relatively thin, dressing up in this way makes her appear almost round.

With a very serious look, Bai Xiaochun left Fragrant Cloud Peak and headed towards the main gate that marked the southern edge border. On the way, the many disciples who were staring at him all stared in shock at his unusual appearance.

He scowled miserably the entire time, and whenever he met people he knew, he would just wave at them. Immediately he approached the main gate, where he saw two people who had arrived in front of him. One was a young man sitting cross-legged in meditation. The other was a young lady who was pacing before the gate, but who was currently turning her back, yet looked familiar.

Du Lingfei's? he thought, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

It was at this point that Du Lingfei also saw him, and his jaw gaped. Then he noticed what he was wearing, and his brows furrowed.

“You are the last person in the team who will investigate the whereabouts of Brother Hou?” she asked.

“Ya, what a coincidence...” he replied with a dry cough. Then he looked from Du Lingfei towards the young man. Although his face was expressionless, a murderous aura rippled from him, and as soon as Bai Xiaochun looked at him, he opened his eyes and looked back, a half-mysterious smile on his face.

Xiaochun's heart trembled. After analyzing the matter, she came to the conclusion that the easiest way for Qian Dajin to do something to her was to put a friend in a mission group. Then, after they all left the sect, the friend could attack him secretly.

Right now, he considered Du Lingfei and this young man worthy of suspicion. However, he was acting very comfortable, and even smiled broadly at the young man.

“Bai Xiaochun is at your service,” he said. “Kakak, you..?”

The young man smiled back and replied, “Feng Yan from Green Peak.”

Bai Xiaochun quickly clasped his hands in honor. “Oh, Brother Feng, I should have known it was you. At first glance you are clearly an outstanding individual. This is my first mission outside of the sect, so I really hope you can show me how this is done, Big Brother Feng. ” It only took Bai Xiaochun a while to judge that Feng Yan's cultivation base was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

“No problem. You seduce me.” A glimmer of scorn passed through Feng Yan's eyes. The only reason he had agreed to take the mission was that Inner Sect disciple Qian Dajin had promised him a lucrative reward for secretly killing Bai Xiaochun.

As far as he was concerned, it would not be difficult at all. All he had to do was be careful and make it seem like an accident; bai Xiaochun was as good as dead.

The only thing he had to pay attention to was making sure that Du Lingfei did not see him. Of course, he was very confident that Du Lingfei had taken the mission for the same reason as him, because of Qian Dajin.

As for Du Lingfei, he was currently frowning. He never imagined that accepting a mission outside the sect would result in him being stuck with one of the people he hated the most. After all, no one had forced him to carry out this mission; he had chosen it himself. While there might be some dangers associated with it, it was a relatively simple mission with a hefty reward of achievement points.

He had been stuck in the great circle of the fifth level of Qi Condensation for quite some time now, and needed some Cloudsoaring Incense to break through, which of course required achievement points. As soon as he thought of Cloudsoaring Incense, his disgust towards Bai Xiaochun stirred.

Lily's hearted rat! he thought, glaring at Bai Xiaochun with disdain. He especially hated his ball-like appearance with all his black clothes and pan, which made it clearer than ever that he was afraid of death.

Grunting coldly, he completely ignored Bai Xiaochun and turned towards Feng Yan to hold hands and bow.

“Sister Feng, now that we are all here, please show Windskiff. The sooner we complete this mission, the sooner we can get back. ”

Feng Yan smiled slightly, then slapped his handbag, causing a beam of white light to fly out. A gust of wind could be felt as the beam turned into a small white ship, about six meters long.

Fluctuations of spiritual power radiated from the ship, turning into overwhelming pressure.

Bai Xiaochun looked at it and immediately said, “Sister Feng, what is it?”

This was the first time he had seen something like this. As the ship floated in the air, it was clear that it was some kind of vehicle. Even as Du Lingfei's eyes flickered with scorn, Feng Yan smiled.

“This is Windskiff. When the mission requires us to go some distance away from the sect, we can rent a ship like this from the sect to make things easier. We can save a portion of our own spiritual power, at the price of a few spirit stones. ” With that, he jumped into the air and sat on the ship.

Du Lingfei quickly followed, as did Bai Xiaochun. The ship was not very big, and was rather narrow, but there was still plenty of room for the three of them. Bai Xiaochun sat at the very back and began to study the ship more closely. The more he looked at it, the more he realized that it was truly an incredible item.

“Someday,” he murmured, “I'll buy one of them for myself.”

Bai Xiaochun looked at Du Lingfei, measured him, then nodded.

“True. But if I sell you, I can definitely afford it. ”

“YOU!” Du Lingfei's phoenix-like eyes widened, and he was just about to say something again when Feng Yan sent Windskiff flying into the distance in a beam of prismatic light.

As they drove at high speed, whistling through the air, a shield appeared around the ship, creating a barrier against the wind. Although they could hear the wind hitting the shield, the inside of the ship was very calm.

Meanwhile, back at Fragrant Cloud Peak, in the Journeyman Apothecary Hall, Elder Xu, who was in charge of the promotion test, was looking at the jade slip and frowned slightly.

“The Hall of Justice dodged Fragrant Cloud Peak to force Bai Xiaochun to accept an outside mission?” After examining the jade slip a little further, his frown faded. After examining the details of his mission, he realizes that although there may be dangers involved, it is not deadly.

Then he thought about what Li Qinghou had mentioned about Bai Xiaochun's personality. “If the child is a little lazy, then the punishment is inappropriate.”

Finally, he put down the jade and continued to make medicine.

At the same time, Qian Dajin stood outside the Immortal cave in the Inner Sect, watched the ship fly off into the distance, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

“With Feng Yan's cultivation base, secretly killing Bai Xiaochun was as easy as turning his hands around. Bai Xiaochun.You may have amazing skills with plants and herbs, but unfortunately, you will never have the opportunity to do anything with it. You die!” Evil rays appeared deep within Qian Dajin's eyes. Smiling, he turned around and returned to his Immortal cave.

The blue sky stretched out in all directions. Bai Xiaochun sat there on the ship, feeling somewhat nervous, but at the same time looked out excitedly as the scenery changed.

In the distance he saw many mountain peaks that looked like swords sticking up into the sky, parts of the mountain range that looked like sleeping dragons. There is also a big and surprising river!

Heavenspan River. After becoming an Outer Sect disciple, he had done a lot of research, and had learned that the entire cultivation world depended on the Heavenspan River.

It was actually the source of all spiritual energy.

That was why all the sects were in the area near it. Furthermore, the further you go to the Upper Reach of the river, the stronger the spiritual energy will be.

Although the Spirit Stream Sect was technically at the Middle Reach, even that position had allowed them to stand strong and tall for ten thousand years. According to what Bai Xiaochun had read, the Spirit Stream Sect was not always in his current position. It had previously been placed in the Lower Reach. But then an incredible Patriarch had appeared among the countless sects and clans of cultivators there. After distinguishing himself in the fierce battle, he obtained the approval of a higher ranked sect, and thus obtained the qualification to establish his own sect in the Middle Reach.

“Should have been, the sects in the Upper Heavenspan River were so strong that the Spirit Stream Sect could not even compare to them. Moreover, according to legends, there were even more terrifying sects at the source of the river. ” Bai Xiaochun forced himself to calm down, and reminded himself that he needed to be extra careful in this mission.

In the distance, the Heavenspan River looked golden, almost like a great, turbulent sea. Next, hugging the river were four towering mountain peaks.

“It must be the northern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect,” thought Bai Xiaochun. Also visible was the main peak of the Spirit Stream Sect, which curved over the Heavenspan River like a huge bridge!

Mount Daoseed! Bai Xiaochun had actually seen all of this when Li Qinghou first brought him to the Spirit Stream Sect. However, at that moment he was just an ordinary human being. Now that he was an Outer Sect disciple, he got a completely different feeling when he saw it.

The ship shot away from the sect at high speed, following the water ripples beneath it as they headed towards Lower Reach.

“Sister Du, Big Brother Bai, I think you two have already checked the details of the mission,” said Feng Yan coldly, his voice so light that it is almost difficult to hear. “We are heading to an area at Reach Under Heavenspan River called Fallenstar Mountains. Young Brother Hou's last message came from the area. The Fallenstar Mountains marked the limits of the Spirit Stream Sect's sphere of influence. The other mountains were counted as the territory of the Blood Stream Sect.

“We may find ourselves in danger in this mission. However, by preparing yourself mentally, and also being careful, we will most likely avoid big problems.

“However, our final destination is quite far away, and it will take some spirit stones to get there. Most of our time on this mission will be spent traveling, but with our Windskiff, we will be able to get through some of the more difficult terrain. ” With that, a cold glint flickered in his eyes before he closed them in meditation.

Du Lingfei ignored Bai Xiaochun and started doing breathing exercises.

Bai Xiaochun felt even more vigilant than before. Despite also sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes, he was actually pondering which of the two was sent by Qian Dajin.

“No way Du Lingfei,” thought. “Yang means ... there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that it is Feng Yan!”
