Li Fuchen handed over the mission and took up another one .
This time it wasn’t a low-tier mission, but a mid-tier elite class mission .
The mission details: Eliminate the Black Wind Bandit Band that is situated in the eastern part of Qinglin City . Retrieve the head of the Black Wind Bandit Chief .
Mission reward: 8000 contribution points .
“Has he gone crazy? He actually took up a mid-tier elite class mission . ”
“Normal fifth level Origin Realm inner sect disciples don’t even dare to pick up a mission of this class . A minimum of 3 or 4 mid level Origin Realm disciples are required to complete this mission . ”
“I know him . He is Li Fuchen, he was once the outer sect no . 1 disciple . ”
“So what if he was an outer sect no . 1 disciple . We have many hidden talents in the inner sect and no one dares to claim they are the strongest . ”
“That’s right, the Black Wind Bandit Band has a crew of over a hundred . The chief is a sixth level Origin Realm martial artist . Going there alone is just seeking death . ”
In the mission hall, many inner sect disciples were pointing and criticizing Li Fuchen .
“Are you sure you are going to take this mission?” The mission hall inner sect deacon frowned while asking .
“Yes . ” Li Fuchen nodded .
“Alright then!” The inner sect deacon had nothing else to say .
He actually took up such a mission, the deacon wondered if Li Fuchen had lost his mind .
But the mission hall’s rules stated that only the first mission must be low-tier, any missions after that was up to the disciple . He didn’t have the rights to interfere, but if he had a choice, he would stop Li Fuchen from picking this mission as he felt Li Fuchen wasn’t qualified .
Under the eyes of a bunch of people, Li Fuchen left the mission hall .
Only allowed on Creativenovels . com

Qinglin City was very far from the Cang Lan Sect, even further than Heishi City .
Li Fuchen insisted on not using a demonic blood horse, but instead relied on his Wind Shadow Steps .
Two weeks later, Li Fuchen finally arrived in the eastern part of Qinglin City .
It was late at night, there was a small town that could be sighted at the horizon . Under the light of the sunset, the town gave off a serene and peaceful atmosphere .
In the only inn of the town, there were several martial artists drinking liquor .
Seeing Li Fuchen enter, the few of them had a flash of doubt in their eyes .
Making one’s way in the outside world at such a young age meant either he was outrageously strong, if not young and reckless .
Not having his meal in the lobby, Li Fuchen instructed the shop assistant to serve his food in his own room .
“Young master, your food is here . ” The assistant knocked on the door .
“Put it on the table . ”
Li Fuchen was taking a shower in the bathroom .
“Alright!”
The assistant opened the room door, placed down the meal, then closed the door after leaving .
Gently closing his eyes, Li Fuchen comfortably laid in the wooden barrel .
(TL note: During ancient times, people bathed in wooden barrels)
The reason why Li Fuchen took two missions back to back, was to not allow himself to be too relaxed .
There was a saying, ‘Thrive in calamity and perish during peaceful times . ’
Being buried in one’s cultivation may seem like an easier way to get stronger, but it is not so .
A martial artist needed to have the fighting spirit to go against the heaven, earth, and other martial artists . Without this fighting spirit, even if one had an exceptional bone frame, they would not be able to bring out their full potential its limits .
Within the Cang Lan Sect were restrictions that states disciples weren’t allowed to kill, and that was why there were sect missions .
If the sect missions were too simple, it would not have any effects on tempering the disciples .
Li Fuchen needed to find out his own limitations .
This was the main reason why he picked an elite class, mid-tier sect mission . Earning points and gold coins were the secondary objectives .
The next morning, Li Fuchen set off for Lianyun mountain .
Lianyun mountain was Qinglin City’s largest mountain, it was actually linked with many other cities too .
Lianyun mountain stretched far with many peaks and endless caverns . Everytime the Qinglin city lord sent out the military to eliminate the Black Wind Bandit Band, they would always get away . As time went by, the city lord lost his original drive and didn’t continue his persistence .
On the road, Li Fuchen saw many devastated villages .
Only after inquiring, did he know that the Black Wind Bandit Band came by a few days ago . Not only did they plunder all their gold coins, they also kidnapped all the village’s most beautiful women .
“This bandit group sure is a bunch of savages . ”
Truthfully, the chief of the bandit band is just a fifth level of Origin Realm martial artist, thus it cannot be considered a true bandit band .
A true bandit band, would surely contain Earth Realm martial artists .
As the higher hierarchy in the Cang Lan Sect didn’t bother with the matters of the region, it would always be attended to by the city lords . Thus, as long as the bandit band didn’t destroy any towns and remained low profile, they would generally survive for a long time . Until some unexpected disaster disbanded them .
Black Wind Valley, a treacherous place in the Lianyun mountain .
On both sides of the valley were high peaks and steep slopes . There was only a small narrow path in the middle . When a huge batch of horsemen entered, there may be a possibility that boulders would come crashing down from the peaks, burying everything and leaving no corpses .
Li Fuchen had great ability and was fearless too . He didn’t hesitate one bit and entered Black Wind Valley .
“Leader, someone entered Black Wind Valley . ”
On the side of the slopes was a cavern, in it a ninth level Qi Realm martial artist instructed to a skinny man, “Go take a look . ”
The skinny man came to the entrance of the cavern and took a look down .
On the narrow path of the valley was a youth in grey clothings, walking towards the deeper parts of Black Wind Valley .
“It’s a brat . From his qi presence, he seems to be at the sixth level of the Qi Realm . Let’s go capture him . Doesn’t the third chief like handsome youths? Let’s gift her one to cheer her up . ”
The skinny man laughed loudly before taking a piece of rope from the walls of the cavern and tossing it down .
The grey clothed youth was naturally Li Fuchen .
When in the outside world, the inner sect disciple robes had pros and cons .
Pros were that trouble did not typically invite themselves .
Cons were, if there was trouble, it would be serious trouble .
Li Fuchen didn’t want his inner sect disciple robe to alarm his targets, thus, he changed to a set of grey clothes .
As for the ability to mask his qi presence, it was due to his talent in soul spirit . As such, he had long mastered this skill during the Qi Realm .
An Origin Realm martial artist and a dozen of Qi Realm martial artists came sliding down using the ropes .
The skinny man pointed at Li Fuchen, “Tie him up!”
“Let’s do it!”
Two ninth level Qi Realm martial artists rushed towards Li Fuchen .
Li Fuchen obviously didn’t give up without a fight and began to struggle with the two and got knocked out by one of them with a single palm strike .

Tens of miles away was a mountain peak that wasn’t the tallest, but looked sturdy .
There were plenty of caverns . In the main cavern was a huge holding area which extended in all directions, setting a grand and beautiful scene . In the middle of it was a large pool .
In the pool were dozens of naked women playing around in flirtatious poses .
But with careful observations, one could see deep in their eyes, was actually hatred .
In front of the pool were two buff man sitting on stone chairs having a discussion .
“Black Wind Chief, my stronghold chief has spoken . As long as you are willing to join our Lianyun Stronghold, this technique manual will be yours to keep . ” A masked man presented the manual and placed it on the stone table .
The Black Wind Chief was a huge man with a beard . He glanced at the manual, assuming this was a yellow class, high-tier technique manual .
Although yellow class, high-tier technique manuals were precious, he already had one .
But once he opened the manual, his expression changed .
“Yellow class, peak-tier technique manual?”
The masked man laughed, “Precisely . ”
“What do I have to do?” The Black Wind Chief asked .
“Very simple, hand over a tribute of 100,000 gold coins every year to the Lianyun Stronghold . ”
“Deal . ” The Black Wind Chief made no hesitation .
“No wonder Black Wind Chief is able to form this Black Wind Bandit Band . A man who is able to make wise decisions and has a quick understanding . ” The masked man was pleased with the Black Wind Chief’s attitude .
The Black Wind Chief was pleased too, he clapped his hands, “All of you come over here and serve this lord well . ”
