Surviving the Chaotic World of Martial Arts: Check in to one entry daily

Chapter 64 Mission, What a good person!

The sun gradually set in the west.

Qinghe County.

In Dongcheng District, outside a clothing store, Lin Zhou changed into a white outfit and quietly walked out of the alley.

"Pshaw, so what if I've reached the peak of the Core Formation stage!"

"This precious sword is mine now, isn't it?"

Lin Zhou moved swiftly, like a strange breeze, sweeping across several streets and returning to the Fengshenmen Martial Arts Hall.

"Helmsman."

"Helmsman."

After entering the martial arts school, the many disciples in the front courtyard all bowed respectfully to Lin Zhou.

"Yes, practice your boxing well."

Lin Zhou nodded in acknowledgment and offered a few words of encouragement.

He went straight to the backyard and sat cross-legged on the herb cushion in his own yard.

"That swordsmanship is so astonishing; he must be a disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect!"

At this moment, Lin Zhou recalled the swordsmanship of the white-clad female swordsman and began to make plans in his mind.

The gains this time were considerable.

That sword was incredibly powerful; cutting through iron like mud was nothing to it. It was like making a huge profit.

Such top-tier magical artifacts are probably rare even within the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.

However, top-tier magical artifacts usually possess a wisp of spirituality. Unless one has cultivated a suitable sword manual, other martial artists, even if they obtain the sword, must go through a process of gradually taming it with their own internal energy.

If one's energy is too weak, one might even be attacked by that precious sword.

Lin Zhou had no intention of releasing the Crimson Cloud Sword, which was locked in the storage space.

Unless he used the Transformation skill and entered the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard state, it would be impossible for him to suppress that precious sword with just his Ming Jin (internal energy).

Less than half an hour had passed.

outside.

A powerful, piercing cry of a bird echoed across most of Qinghe County.

Lin Zhou didn't even need to follow the entry to know that the white-clad female sword cultivator had arrived. This young woman had lost her personal sword and would likely be searching the surrounding area.

If the other party is indeed a martial artist from the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, they will definitely find their way to this Wind God Sect martial arts hall.

When Lin Zhou was in the Sword Sect, he was just a disciple who guarded the medicinal fields. He knew nothing about the true disciples or even the powerful sword cultivators in the sect.

If the other party were a martial artist from Alchemy Peak, he might have some knowledge of the matter.

The voices from the outside world are getting closer and closer.

"Um!?"

"They really are from the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect?"

Lin Zhou was taken aback. He had just stepped out of the courtyard when he saw a blue bird, several meters long, flying down from the sky and landing a few steps in front of him.

At this moment, the many martial arts disciples in the front yard, each holding various knives, spears, and clubs, began to swarm to the back yard, each gripping their weapons tightly as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, under the oppressive aura of the giant blue bird, none of them dared to step forward; they all remained at the edge of the courtyard, their expressions extremely tense.

"I am Lin Zhou, an outer disciple of the Alchemy Peak of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect."

"What brings you here?"

Lin Zhou cupped his hands in greeting, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Duan Li, a true disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect."

Duan Li spoke up.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Duan."

Lin Zhou then politely clasped his hands in a fist salute and said something in a very courteous tone.

At this moment, Duan Li, who was on the Azure Sparrow, took a step forward and flew down to the side of the forest boat.

Duan Li raised her hand and placed it on Lin Zhou's shoulder. Instantly, Lin Zhou felt an extremely strong and hot energy flow from his shoulder into his body. After flowing through his meridians, it returned to Duan Li's palm.

"no problem."

"He's only at the Ming Jin level."

"The internal energy cultivated is also the Tiger and Crane Double Movement Fist, a foundational martial art for ordinary disciples."

After confirming Lin Zhou's identity, Duan Li took out a fur coat from her bosom. On it was drawn a ferocious flying leopard. The wings and outline of the leopard were almost identical to the silver-winged flying leopard that Lin Zhou had transformed into.

"Remember this shape."

"This person is an extremely dangerous Core Formation Realm demon martial artist. He appeared outside the county town earlier. Once I return to the sect, I will have the sect send you a messenger sparrow."

"If you spot this demon warrior, send me a message immediately."

"If the news is true, I will give you a thousand contribution points, or a chance for me to make a move."

Duan Li spoke in a solemn tone.

"Hug...hug Dan!!"

"Senior Sister!!"

"You mean a demonic martial artist at the Core Formation Realm has appeared outside the county town!?"

"This…"

Upon hearing what Duan Li said, Lin Zhou looked at the ferocious flying leopard on the fur coat in his hand, his eyes filled with fear, and said...

Let alone a demon warrior at the Core Formation Realm, even a Transformation Realm cultivator could pass through Qinghe County.

Lin Zhou's performance should reflect a genuine emotional response.

"rest assured."

"These demon warriors all have flawed cultivation techniques. They won't massacre ordinary people on a large scale unless necessary, thus incurring the displeasure of the imperial court and the top sects within the prefecture."

"Your task is to deliver a message."

"Got it!"

"Just by finding traces of this demon warrior and releasing a messenger bird, you can earn more contribution points than if you stayed here for a hundred years."

"Even if you have any conditions, I can agree to them."

Duan Li looked at Lin Zhou, who was only at the Ming Jin level, and her face turned pale with fright. She quickly tried to comfort him.

"It's...it's Senior Sister."

"Senior sister, if junior brother wishes to cultivate the Tiger-Crane Profound Sword Scripture, I wonder if senior sister..."

Lin Zhou spoke up.

"It's nothing."

"The Tiger and Crane Profound Sword Manual is only ranked twenty-third among sword manuals, and is merely a lower-level one."

"As long as you can accomplish this, even the ninth-ranked 'Tiger and Crane Return to One: The Sword Scripture of Breaking Illusions' can be achieved."

Duan Li hesitated for a moment before speaking.

This matter concerns his own Crimson Cloud Sword.

Hongxia is one of the sect's thirteen top-tier magical artifacts. If it were to be lost now, not only would my own combat strength be affected, but I would also be punished by the sect.

If he had relied on the Crimson Cloud Sword, he would definitely have been among the top performers in the Perfected Core Formation Realm.

Now that he is the second of the sect's top ten disciples, without the Crimson Cloud Sword, his combat strength might not even be able to maintain the third position, and he might fall to the fourth or fifth position. He will have to go back and find a new sword.

Even if it's not the best, it's still good.

If you get your hands on it early and familiarize yourself with it using your internal energy, you can retain 60-70% of your combat strength, although it certainly won't be as good as when you had the Crimson Cloud Sword.

The Crimson Cloud Sword is his natal treasure, and he must retrieve it from that demon warrior.

A moment later.

Lin Zhou, inside the courtyard, watched Duan Li depart into the distance and began to make plans in his mind.

This is truly a stroke of good luck delivered right to our doorstep!

Finding myself is easy. In a couple of days, when the Silver-Winged Flying Leopard shows itself in the wild, I'll show off the Crimson Cloud Sword, and the ninth-ranked sword manual of the sect will fall into my hands.

You can also earn contribution points.

I didn't have a very good impression of Li before, but now I see she's a good person!
