Chapter 15: Inner Sect Disciple Mission Accomplished!

After storing all the Gu insects into his True Essence Sea, Ye Ming sat cross-legged on his bed again.

With a thought, he directly mobilized the Bronze Relic Gu.

A force surged within his aperture; amidst the deep green True Essence, wisps of dark green True Essence gradually appeared.

The moment all the True Essence transformed into dark green, it would be the time he stepped into the First Turn Peak.

The night grew heavy, and there were no more lights in the village.

Not far to the north of the Ancient Trace Hills lay the Luoyu Shanmai.

At the very center of the Luoyu Shanmai, there was a bear cave; the entrance alone was a full ten meters high! "Thud."

That three-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear swung its paw, threw its brother's corpse in front of the cave, and then sat down right in front of the entrance with a thud.

"Roar, roar~"

It let out a low growl toward the inside of the cave, its voice filled with grievance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Heavy footsteps echoed from within the cave, and a massive Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear, seven or eight meters tall with a body full of powerful muscles, walked out of the cave.

Its arms and chest were covered in dark gold iron armor, looking peerlessly domineering. One of its eye sockets was empty and pitch black.

The undisputed overlord of the Luoyu Shanmai, a seventy-thousand-year level Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear, a terrifying existence capable of battling a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! After this Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear walked out, it saw its eldest son sitting on the ground covered in wounds, while its second son lay to the side, having already lost its breath.

"ROAR!!!"

It roared angrily at the sky, and the entire Luoyu Shanmai seemed to tremble a few times. The Soul Beasts in the mountain range woke up in shock, looking toward the central area with fear.

Some low-cultivation Soul Beasts even prostrated themselves on the ground, shivering.

The three-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear looked up and wailed as well, aggrievedly telling its father what had happened.

"Roar, roar! (I remember the scent of that human!)"

"Roar! (Gather all the Soul Beasts and slaughter these damned humans!)"

The large Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear roared at the sky, and a terrifying aura was released from its body.

Instantly, the Soul Beasts throughout the entire Luoyu Shanmai began to move toward the center.

……

The night slipped away, and the morning light shone upon the earth.

Cooking smoke rose in the village, and several households even had white funeral banners hanging in front of their doors.

Ye Ming stretched and walked to the corner of the courtyard.

In the corner, there were over a dozen flower beds, planted full of the Yuelan Flower he had transplanted.

Seeing that these Yuelan Flowers had all survived, his face was filled with joy.

If these Yuelan Flowers could survive, then the food source for his Moonlight Gu would be guaranteed.

The first Gu insect a Gu Master refines is called a Life Gu.

The Life Gu is cultivated alongside the Gu Master's own life; once damaged, the Gu Master will also suffer a backlash.

Logically speaking, the stronger the Gu insect chosen as the Life Gu, the better.

But at the time, he had only obtained a First Turn Moonlight Gu; to step onto the path of a Gu Master, he had to refine a Gu insect.

Regarding this, he had no regrets.

In the "Complete Guide to 1st-5th Turn Gu Master Applications," the Moonlight Gu had many promotion routes, the highest being the Fifth Turn Precious Moon Light King Gu! With sufficient resources, he was very confident in cultivating the Moonlight Gu up!

After tending to the Yuelan Flowers, Ye Ming went to stroll around the village.

There were many shops in the village run by the villagers themselves, selling some daily necessities.

He now had many Gu insects in his True Essence Sea and had to find enough food to feed them.

Moreover, now that he had reached the First Turn Peak, he also had to prepare materials for refining his Gu insects to the Second Rank.

The food for the White Boar Gu and Black Boar Gu was pork; there were Tusk Boars near the village, so this was not hard to solve.

The Little Light Gu, like the Moonlight Gu, only ate Yuelan Flower petals.

The Jade Skin Gu needed to eat jade every few days, but since the Clear Sky Sect was surrounded by rich mineral deposits, jade was not hard to find. The Wine Gu was simple; there was a winery in the village, and as long as he had Gold Soul Coins, there would be plenty of wine.

The hush money from Tang Xiaolong last time was enough for him to buy the entire winery, with some left over...

After running around all morning, Ye Ming finally managed to solve the food problem for the whole family in his aperture.

It was fortunate that the Gu insect food rewarded by the system wasn't anything special, otherwise, he would have really struggled to feed them.

When he returned to his small house, Ye Ming saw Tang Long standing in the courtyard from afar.

He walked over quickly and said in surprise, "Long Ge, why are you here? How is Tang Yu Ge?"

Ye Ming looked at Tang Long; after yesterday's events, this middle-aged man had a hint of sorrow on his face, and a few white hairs had appeared at his temples.

The deaths of Tang Feng and several disciples made him feel incredibly self-reproachful.

Hearing Ye Ming's question, Tang Long squeezed out a smile, "Tang Yu was just exhausted; he has already woken up and will recover after resting for a few more days."

He reached out and brushed a jade pendant Soul Guidance Device at his waist, and two sets of black sect disciple uniforms, along with a jade pendant and a bag of Gold Soul Coins, appeared in his hands.

"Because you saved Tang Yu this time, the Sect Master has specially promoted you to an Inner Sect Disciple and rewarded you with five thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"However, with that Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear rampaging recently, you must wait until I have dealt with it before entering the sect."

Ye Ming was surprised in his heart; he reached out to take the items, feeling a bit at a loss.

"Long Ge, this is all what I should have done. Is it not quite in accordance with the rules for the sect to do this..."

Tang Long patted his shoulder, "This is all what you deserve; there is nothing inappropriate about it."

"If it weren't for you this time, Tang Yu would likely have perished in the jaws of the Soul Beast."

"You wait for a while; I must go to the Ancient Trace Hills to investigate first. With this Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear outside, it is still too dangerous for the sect disciples."

After saying this, Tang Long turned and walked toward the Ancient Trace Hills.

Several disciples had died because of his decision; if he didn't kill this Dark Gold Dreadclaw bear, the anger in his heart would be hard to calm.

After Tang Long walked away, he weighed the bag of Gold Soul Coins; there were approximately five thousand of them.

These Gold Soul Coins were enough to purchase a property in Tiandou City.

Stowing these items into his System Space, Ye Ming turned and returned to the wooden house.

He opened the wristwatch on his left wrist that only he could see, which displayed his current secret realm mission.

"1. Become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Clear Sky Sect; reward: Common Talent (random), reward: 20 Primeval Stones. (Completed!)

2. Reach the cultivation level of Soul King; reward: Rare Talent (random), reward: 100 Primeval Stones.

2. Become the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect; reward: Epic Talent (random), reward: 2000 Primeval Stones.

3. Reach the level of Title Douluo; reward: Legendary Talent (random), reward: 10000 Primeval Stones.

4. Become a god; reward: Mythical Talent (random), reward: 100000 Primeval Stones."

"Note: Basic mission completed; you may settle the mission and leave the current world."

On the mission list, the first item, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, showed a completed status.

Furthermore, he could settle the mission at any time now and leave the Douluo Continent.

One may plant flowers with care, yet they may not bloom.

Ye Ming had not expected that simply carrying Tang Yu back would lead to him muddle-headedly completing a Reincarnation Secret Realm mission.

Naturally, he would not settle the mission so easily.

A Common Talent could no longer satisfy him now.

With a guaranteed reward in hand, he naturally aimed for higher goals! Now that he had so much assistance, not aiming for a Mythical-grade Talent would be a waste of resources!

Returning to his room and changing into the black Inner Sect Disciple uniform of the Clear Sky Sect, Ye Ming instantly looked spirited.

After cultivating in his room for a while, the sun quietly slipped away toward evening.

Just as he finished his dinner at the village restaurant, he happened to see Tang Long walking in through the village entrance with a gloomy look on his face...
