A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1290: Chapter 1276: Sect Mission

The Outer Sect competition has ended.

It ended quickly.

Baiyu has finally officially become an Inner Sect Disciple.

Although in the eyes of many Inner Sect Elders and those who were promoted alongside Baiyu to become Inner Sect disciples, his promotion seemed purely like luck.

However.

In the Outer Sect.

He became the object of envy among the disciples of Yangxin Hall.

After all, regardless of how Zhou Yi advanced, he advanced, unlike others who simply had no chance of promotion.

Even for those Outer Sect disciples who have been around for many years.

If they could advance like Baiyu.

They would be willing too.

But of course, this is just wishful thinking; not everyone is lucky enough for this.

On the other side.

Having become an Inner Sect Disciple, Baiyu was assigned his own residence, and he chose an extremely secluded mountain peak called Xiao Gu Feng.

This peak belongs to Martial Combat Peak.

It is considered a small mountain peak.

There’s only one Elder in solitary retreat here, supposedly very skilled but stuck at a bottleneck for many years, so he secluded himself on Xiao Gu Feng and doesn’t usually concern himself with affairs.

This is also the reason why Baiyu chose Xiao Gu Feng.

Peaceful.

Relaxed.

It’s suitable for him to cultivate quietly.

The only downside is the limited resources on the mountain, but this isn’t really an issue.

Soon.

Baiyu settled halfway up Xiao Gu Feng; it’s indeed very quiet, with many vacant residences, and no dining hall on the mountain, so he has to go to the main dining hall on Martial Combat Peak for meals.

Aside from these.

His life is very leisurely.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, he needs to complete a Sect mission every three months, regardless of the mission’s difficulty; it must be completed once.

Baiyu lived quietly on Xiao Gu Feng for a month and only met a few fellow disciples during this time, but as for the secluded Elder on Xiao Gu Feng, Baiyu hadn’t even seen the hem of his clothing.

At this time.

Someone Baiyu found a bit unexpected came to visit.

Bai Changqiu.

Compared to four months ago.

Bai Changqiu’s demeanor had changed significantly; he had undergone Spirit Transformation, and Baiyu could confirm that the other party had entered the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Why did you suddenly come to see me?"

Baiyu stayed calm, poured her a glass of water, and asked with a smile.

Bai Changqiu replied, "Just picked up a mission, and recently I’ve been wanting to exchange for a Cultivation Technique but lack some Contribution Points, so I’m preparing to complete this simple mission, and I came by to see you on the way out of the mountain.

You’ve become an Inner Sect disciple.

Not bad.

But don’t get complacent."

Compared to before.

Bai Changqiu’s tone had improved significantly.

It shows that he is quite pleased with Baiyu’s progress.

At this point.

Baiyu asked, "What mission? Now that I’m also an Inner Sect Disciple, and I haven’t done the three-month Sect mission yet, I might as well join you."

Bai Changqiu pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Sure, the mission is to support the Star Shining Sect disciples who found a mineral deposit but can’t secure it."

"That’s good; I’ll go with you. If we encounter danger, I’ll retreat immediately and won’t cause you any trouble."

Baiyu assured, patting his chest.

Bai Changqiu nodded, refraining from discussing the matter further, and said, "Then let’s depart in the afternoon, along with some other disciples."

"The Sect dares to let you lead others on missions outside?"

"Last time, it was because of the Demon Blade Sect; they suddenly appeared, and we were unprepared. It was already good that we came out alive.

The Sect sent people to eradicate the Demon Blade Sect’s base over in Jiangdi City.

It seems they cleaned up that base entirely.

It avenges the few disciples who died."

Bai Changqiu said in a low voice.

Baiyu nodded, knowing he just wants to tag along for the mission; as long as he returns safely, that’s enough.

...

In the afternoon.

Baiyu arrived punctually at the gathering point Bai Changqiu had told him.

He rented an Immortal Crane from Spirit Beast Peak.

The Immortal Cranes on Spirit Beast Peak are available for rent, of course requiring some Contribution Points.

After all.

Within Star Shining, Contribution Points are equivalent to currency in the real world.

Without Contribution Points, you can’t proceed anywhere.

However.

Bai Changqiu’s Contribution Points were mainly used for exchanging for Spirit Pill and some special Cultivation Techniques.

So for this Immortal Crane.

Baiyu still had to pay himself.

After everyone assembled.

Baiyu realized that Bai Changqiu brought five people, making it six including him.

The other five were also Inner Sect Disciples.

Most people rented their Immortal Crane from Spirit Beast Peak and didn’t have their own Magical Treasures for travel.

Unlike Bai Changqiu, who could ride the wind with sword control.

"Let’s go!"

Seeing that nearly everyone had arrived, Bai Changqiu said.

The longsword on her back quickly enlarged, and she sat on it, flying high into the sky and disappearing into the distance.

This scene.

Was quite enviable to the other Inner Sect Disciples.

Baiyu obediently rode on the neck of the Immortal Crane, following behind Bai Changqiu, and closed his eyes to rest, cultivating the Heart Method he had just obtained as an Inner Sect disciple, the Profound Star Technique.

The journey was silent.

Other than stopping a few times for the Immortal Crane to rest, they continued traveling.

Their destination this time was Baifu City, southeast of the Qingyang Dynasty, 1,200 li from the Star Shining Sect.

There’s also a Star Shining Sect presence here.

Even though there are only a few Inner Sect Disciples stationed here usually, having a base suggests that Star Shining Sect has some resources here.

The call for help.

Was sent to the main headquarters by this sub-branch.

A few Inner Sect Disciples discovered a vein within the Medicine Mountain area under Star Shining Sect’s control.

It’s a rare Spirit Stone mine.

Spirit Stone.

This is hard currency in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Although it’s just a small mine, not enough to alarm Star Shining Sect’s leadership, the Sect’s mission peak quickly posted this mission.

The reward was quite substantial.

Bai Changqiu, needing a large amount of Contribution Points, took it up.

"We’ve arrived, up ahead is Baifu City."

At this moment.

Bai Changqiu slowed down her flying speed.

Following her, the six Cultivators, including Baiyu, halted.

On the city walls of Baifu City.

A few Cultivators wearing Star Shining Sect Inner Sect disciple attire immediately saluted Bai Changqiu, standing in the air: "Greetings, Senior Sister Bai; I didn’t expect you to be leading this mission."

"Hmm, let’s skip the formalities and talk about the main issue back at the place."

Bai Changqiu landed on the city wall.

The disciples who came out to welcome them nodded, leading Bai Changqiu’s group back to Star Shining Sect’s sub-branch in Baifu City.

It was a grand residence.

The grounds were very extensive.

And there was a large number of mortal servants, reducing the mystique of an Immortal Cultivation Sect and adding a touch of earthly life.

"Senior Sister Bai, the primary trouble is still the two local lords in this city. They’re nobles of the Qingyang Dynasty, so we didn’t dare to act rashly."

An Inner Sect disciple said immediately after inviting Bai Changqiu into the main hall.
