Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the morning, a ray of sunlight fell. Lin Bai opened his eyes. He had felt a faint sign of a breakthrough yesterday, so he had meditated alone instead of dual cultivating with Zhao Fei’er.

Zhao Fei’er had slept alone last night.

Soon, it was time for breakfast. He noticed that Ouyang Ruoxue’s gaze was always evasive, and she avoided looking at him. Her face would also blush inexplicably, which made him feel a little confused.

Meanwhile, Zhao Fei’er saw Ouyang Ruoxue’s expression and pursed her lips, trying to stifle her laughter.

When Lin Bai was handing food to Ouyang Ruoxue, he accidentally touched her hand with his finger.

However, Ouyang Ruoxue retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, making Lin Bai very embarrassed.

Lin Bai sighed inwardly, wondering why Ouyang Ruoxue was so sensitive today and what was causing it.

Little did he know that Ouyang Ruoxue had dreamt of becoming his bride in her dream last night.

After breakfast, Lin Bai recalled how he had felt like he was about to break through yesterday. He said, “I feel like I’m about to have a breakthrough. I might need to postpone our mission for a few days and go into seclusion for a while.”

“What? My husband is about to reach the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage?” Zhao Fei’er exclaimed in surprise.

One should know that not long ago, Lin Bai had only reached the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Stage. It had not been long since, and he was about to reach the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. His speed was too terrifying.

Even Ouyang Ruoxue was very surprised and even a little incredulous. Although she knew Lin Bai’s talent was good when they were climbing the Path-chasing Stairway, she didn’t expect him to be so talented. He was truly a monster!

Seeing Lin Bai nod, Zhao Fei’er said, “How about this? The two of us will first do some simple tasks, and you can break through in seclusion at home. When you come out of seclusion, we can do the most difficult task together. This will save us time.”

“Okay. This way, we won’t disrupt our original plan,” Lin Bai said.

The three of them rearranged their plans accordingly.

After finishing their meal, Lin Bai went back to his room and began to meditate and cultivate. The spirit stones in his hand turned into ashes one by one.

Ever since he climbed the Path-chasing Stairway, he had gained some enlightenment. At that time, he felt like he was about to break through, and this feeling was especially strong in the past few days.

He broke through quickly and it was also related to the system. Each time he gave birth to a child, he would increase his lifespan, and at the same time, his physical constitution would change.

When he climbed the Path-chasing Stairway the last time, he felt that his physique was much stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Moreover, he had been dual cultivating with Zhao Fei’er all this time. Now, it was finally time for him to break through.

At the same time, Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue were supposed to begin their first mission according to plan.

This mission was very simple. It was to find a demonic beast that was equivalent to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement Stage in the forest near the Wandering Cloud City.

The two of them easily defeated the demonic beast and obtained its bones, skin, and other materials. These materials were processed by the City Lord’s people and handed over to them.

The second mission was also straightforward. In another area, the two were tasked with investigating a mysterious location where people had frequently gone missing. It was marked in the sect mission as not difficult.

The two of them discovered an incomplete Formation Spell there. Although it was called a Formation Spell, it was similar to a trap. After the two of them destroyed the Formation Spell, they found that there were many demonic beast’s bones inside. They also found some spirit stones that came from somewhere.

Although the core of the Formation Spell was destroyed, it was not functioning. As a result, it was not difficult to deal with. Ouyang Ruoxue had some knowledge about Formation Spells and played a major role in this mission, while Zhao Fei’er assisted.

The biggest gain from this mission was the core of the damaged Formation Spell, which could be exchanged for a considerable amount of spirit stones upon return to their sect.

The third mission, the fourth mission…

In a few days, Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue completed five or six missions in a row and completed all the simple missions.

Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue had a bountiful harvest.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai was still in the process of a breakthrough, so the two of them decided to investigate the location of the final mission in their spare time.

This particular mission was the most challenging. When Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er received it, they were told that it involved a demonic beast at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

However, Ouyang Ruoxue brought the latest news that the demonic beast might be at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

The two of them sneaked into the target location and found the demonic beast near the demonic beast’s nest.

It was a demonic beast that resembled a lion, covered in scales all over its body.

“Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion!” Zhao Fei’er exclaimed.

Judging from the demonic beast’s aura, it was likely at a level higher than the ordinary seventh level of the Qi Refinement Stage. The two of them looked at each other and realized that they were no match for it.

At that moment, the demonic beast sensed the two of them and let out a furious roar, spreading a fishy smell in the vicinity.

“Let’s go, hurry!” Zhao Fei’er realized that something was wrong and quickly pulled Ouyang Ruoxue away. The two of them ran back to Wandering Cloud City and returned to Lin Manor.

Fortunately, the demonic beast did not pursue them, but it still frightened them enough.

As expected, the difficulty of this mission was incredibly high and extremely dangerous. From the demonic beast’s aura, it was much more ferocious than the one they had fought with Lin Bai last time.

There was no way they could fight it alone, but if Lin Bai joined them, there would still be some hope if the three of them worked together.

Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue looked at each other.

Ouyang Ruoxue was also frightened. She didn’t expect that the demonic beast was even more powerful than what was described in the mission. The mission description wasn’t exaggerated at all and was even conservative.

However, after the two of them returned to the Lin Manor, Lin Bai was still in the process of breaking through.

In the past few days, Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue had cooperated to complete missions. The two of them were now very familiar with each other and had a very harmonious relationship.

Zhao Fei’er even invited Ouyang Ruoxue to visit their abode in the future, and Ouyang Ruoxue naturally agreed.

Two days later, Lin Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and his joints made a series of cracking sounds as if a ferocious beast had awakened.

“I’ve reached the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage!”

Lin Bai felt his body was filled with strength several times stronger than before. His spiritual energy was abundant, and he could not help but let out a roar of excitement.

Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue pushed the door open and walked in when they heard the sound.

When the two of them saw Lin Bai’s appearance, they knew that Lin Bai had broken through.

Both of them were extremely shocked by Lin Bai’s speed of breakthrough. With his talent, they had never heard of anyone in the entire sect who could break through so quickly.

“Huh? You have already completed all but one of the tasks?” Lin Bai communicated with them and learned that several days had passed. When he heard about the demonic beast they were tasked to defeat, he felt his battle intent soaring and wanted to challenge the demonic beast.

After breaking through, Lin Bai absorbed dozens of spirit stones and stabilized his realm. According to their plan, the three of them were now ready to tackle the final mission together.
