Chapter 86

It is more than enough to raise the "Fire-Controlling Sun-Scorching Art" to the perfection layer.

One card will still remain.

To cultivate the "Fire-Controlling Sun-Scorching Art," one must at least reach the minor success stage before being able to draw beast fire into the body and transform it into elixir fire.

Otherwise, there would be great danger.

But if one reaches the great success stage, the danger becomes much smaller.

As for the perfection stage.

There is almost no danger at all.

Even some extremely powerful beast fires can be forcibly contained.

"System, raise the 'Fire-Controlling Sun-Scorching Art'!"

"Ding!"

"Consuming two High-grade Mystic Rank martial arts attainment cards!"

"Elevation complete!"

The instant the words fell, far more comprehension of the technique surged into his mind.

After about a moment, he had fully absorbed it all.

"'Fire-Controlling Sun-Scorching Art' at perfection!"

As a High-grade Mystic Rank technique, the difficulty of cultivation is naturally extremely high.

People like Kong Linxue and Elder Feng have only cultivated it to the minor success stage.

Yet he has already reached perfection.

If the people of Medicine King Peak were to learn of this, they would likely come over and shamelessly try to snatch him away.

Smiling, Meng Zhangqing shook his head and scattered the stray thoughts.

He did not choose to slack off and rest.

Instead, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Cultivation is like a boat going against the current; if you do not advance, you fall back.

This falling back is relative; after all, everyone else is advancing. If you stay in the same place, isn't that falling back?

――

The next day.

The first sun broke the dawn, with rosy light filling the sky.

Meng Zhangqing finished his cultivation and walked out of the room.

The spirit of a martial arts cultivator is relatively abundant; one can endure hard cultivation for many days before feeling mental fatigue.

There are many things to do today.

First, go to the Mission Hall to turn in the mission.

Perhaps because the sect's secret realm is about to open, the inner sect road, which was originally somewhat desolate, is gradually seeing more people coming and going.

Meng Zhangqing even saw many with quite good attributes.

When he was in the outer sect, he would certainly have gone to make their acquaintance.

But now, there is no need, because his panel can already be said to be very good.

Second-grade bone constitution, superior comprehension, plus three talents, and so on.

Unless someone is better than him, there is no value in making their acquaintance.

Soon, Meng Zhangqing arrived at the Mission Hall.

There were also more people here than before.

Unfortunately, he still did not see any true transmission disciples; it seems his previous thought was correct, true transmission disciples do not come to the Mission Hall.

"Soon, it won't be long before I can also step into the Sea-Breaking realm."

Meng Zhangqing's gaze settled slightly.

Since witnessing the power of true qi yesterday, his heart had become increasingly urgent.

That style, that destructive power—who could resist its temptation?

Using the difference between cloud and mud to describe the gap between the Opening the Orifices and Sea-Breaking realms is not an exaggeration at all.

Gathering his thoughts, Meng Zhangqing glanced at the attributes of the people around him as usual.

Although they were all quite good, it was still the same; they offered no great help to him.

Perhaps at the true transmission level.

There would be obvious changes.

Arriving at the counter.

It was still that same Mission Hall disciple.

"Turn in the mission."

Meng Zhangqing took out the token belonging to the Sky-Copper Hand, which was still stained with blood.

"It's you!"

The Mission Hall disciple recognized Meng Zhangqing. "You actually completed it!"

When Meng Zhangqing originally chose this mission, he had specially advised him for a long time, so the impression was deep.

He had thought this person would return injured and in disgrace.

Who would have thought he would not only return unscathed but also slay the Sky-Copper Hand!

"It seems you are not an ordinary person."

The Mission Hall disciple uttered a sigh of admiration and took the token.

"Overpraised. This man was simply careless."

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly.

"That is also possible."

The disciple of the Mission Hall felt a slight stir in his heart.

That explains it well enough.

After all, the Sky Copper Hand is a top-tier mission in the Hall; how could a powerhouse of the 7th stage of the Aperture Realm be slain without injury by someone at the 4th stage of the Aperture Realm?

He must have been careless, allowing a surprise attack to succeed.

"The mission reward is three thousand contribution points."

"If you wish to exchange for items, you may go to the Elixir Hall, the Hidden Martial Pavilion, and so on nearby."

The disciple of the Mission Hall handed Meng Zhangqing three special blue iron tablets.

One represents one thousand contribution points.

"Wait, I have something else."

Meng Zhangqing touched his storage ring.

An object wrapped in white cloth instantly appeared in his hand.

Dripping with fresh blood.

He placed it on the counter, removed the white cloth, revealing Bei Qianke's unwilling face.

The disciple of the Mission Hall was instantly terrified and immediately stepped back several paces.

Including the disciples around them waiting to accept or submit missions.

After all, a human head suddenly popped up.

Anyone would be frightened by that.

"What is the price for the head of the Ghost Finger, Bei Qianke?"

As the calm voice fell, the Mission Hall, which had been somewhat noisy, instantly fell into silence.
