BXBX NOVEL Chapter 208 - 208: Upgraded System Mission
The pavilion master of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion was called Hou Dongbai.
From the looks of it, he was a young man in his thirties.
He was wearing a blue robe and had handsome facial features.
The biggest difference between him and the sect masters of other sects was his cultivation.
It was the Golden Core Realm!
This was also why Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Hua Mengyou were so respectful.
When he saw the two outsiders, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
Hua Mengyou immediately introduced Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to Hou Dongbai and told him why they were here, as well as her Shifu’s attitude towards them.
When Hou Dongbai heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.
How many years had it been since his Mentor Gu gave away his Sword Intent Token?
Even the most talented junior in the sect didn’t receive a Sword Intent Token from him.
From the looks of it, the letter sent by Fellow Daoist Zheng, who was far away in the Yun Nation, was highly valued by Mentor Gu.
Because he had been enlightened by Gu Yuefeng many times and had received his Sword Intent Token, although Gu Yuefeng was not his Shifu in name, in Hou Dongbai’s heart, he had always treated Gu Yuefeng as his Shifu.
In front of Gu Yuefeng, he had always regarded himself as a disciple.
At this moment, Hou Dongbai smiled at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan as a response.
Then, he turned to Hua Mengyou and said,
“Since Mentor Gu has already begun to comprehend the Sword Dao, 1 won’t disturb him for the time being.
When Mentor Gu comes out of seclusion, remember to inform me.”
Hua Mengyou nodded at Hou Dongbai and said,
“Yes, Pavilion Master!”
Then, Hua Mengyou paused for a moment before asking,
“1 wonder if there are any new progresses on the investigation of the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect this time.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately perked up.
Hou Dongbai was a little surprised. He did not expect Hua Mengyou to raise this question in front of Jiang Chengxuan and his wife.
However, when he thought of Gu Yuefeng’s attitude towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, Hou Dongbai did not hide it. He immediately shook his head and said,
“There has been no progress for the time being.
Actually, I came to look for Mentor Gu because I wanted to tell him about this.”
Seeing that even Hou Dongbai, who was a Golden Core cultivator, couldn’t find out the whereabouts of the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Hua Mengyou looked solemn.
Hou Dongbai continued, “Next, I will go to Mount Kunxu to ask Fellow Daoist Kunxu for help with the fellow daoists of the Heavenly Yue Sect.”
The Fellow Daoist Kunxu that Hou Dongbai was talking about was an independent Golden Core cultivator in the Liang Nation.
This person was good at calculation. He was a figure that both Jade Water Sword Pavilion and the Heavenly Yue Sect looked up to.
However, calculating the whereabouts and stronghold of the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect was not an easy task.
The price was considerable.
That was why Hou Dongbai said that they needed to join forces with the Heavenly Yue Sect.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both smart people.
When they heard Hou Dongbai’s words, they immediately took the initiative to cup their fists and say,
“It’s our common duty to deal with the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect. If Senior Hou needs anything from the Jiang family in the future, you can send a message to us.”
Although the Jiang family couldn’t play an important role in this battle against the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect, Hou Dongbai was quite satisfied with their attitude at this moment. There was even a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He nodded at the two of them.
“I will keep that in mind.
If you find traces of the Seven Lotuses Demonic Sect, please inform the Jade Water Sword Pavilion immediately.”
“Yes!”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan agreed readily.
After that, Hou Dongbai said a few more words to the two of them before Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan tactfully bid farewell and left the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.
When they returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately went to Xuanming Peak.
On Xuanming Peak.
The couple did not waste any time and entered their respective cultivation cave abodes.
They were prepared to use the Water Apricot Fruits to try to increase their cultivation.
Just as Jiang Chengxuan took out the Water Apricot Fruit, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
[System mission issued. Host, please complete a thousand circulations.]
[Current mission progress: o%]
Hearing this notification from the system, Jiang Chengxuan was slightly stunned.
After the mission of a hundred circulations last time, the system finally gave him the mission of a thousand circulations.
Did this mean that all the missions he had completed in the past would also be upgraded?
If that was the case, then the corresponding mission reward was really worth looking forward to.
Jiang Chengxuan thought.
Judging from the mission progress displayed in his eyes, the previous circulations would be counted towards the progress.
If the future missions were also counted in this way, then the time and energy he had to spend on completing them would undoubtedly multiply.
However, as long as the rewards were awesome, no matter how hard he had to work, it was worth it.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan took out the Water Apricot Fruit.
Without much hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan ate it in a few bites.
Immediately, he felt a cool aura rise in his body.
Then, the cool aura began to turn into surging pure Dharmic power that swam in his body on its own.
Jiang Chengxuan did not delay. He immediately began to circulate the Five
Elements True Technique and began to guide the Dharmic power..
