From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Although it was expected, it was also reasonable. All forces would never allow the monsters from the Southern Wilderness to poison the Eastern Region. Tianlan Sect, as the leader of the holy land in the Eastern Region, would not sit idly by. This time, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills was increased from 240 to 500 in order to motivate disciples to go forward and eliminate the monsters.

Ever since the sect issued the demon-slaying order to all outer academies, the disciples of each outer academy have been preparing supplies and actively preparing for war. The notice from Mingxuan Outer Academy followed closely and was also announced to many disciples.

This time, Mingxuan Outer Court is heading to Linyuan City, which is located just north of the beast tide. It is assumed that all disciples in the late Qi Refining stage will go there. Those who are unable to go due to special circumstances need to report it themselves. On the day of departure, the Demon Slaying Order will be issued uniformly. If there is a special task, a notification will be made via identity token.

As a sword cultivator, Fang Xiao must go on this monster-killing mission. Since he started practicing, most of the battles were limited to sparring with the support of elders. What he needs is a battle with no way out, the kind where it is either life or death.

However, if he encounters a monster that is too powerful, he will not fight it head-on. He can use the formation to trap and kill it. At worst, he can give up the formation and escape successfully.

Soon it was the day of departure. The outer courtyard's cross-domain flying boat was already hovering over the square, the demon-slaying orders had been distributed, and thousands of disciples were ready to go in the square.

"Monsters are rampant in the south. When we go to Linyuan City, all disciples should use the three-foot-long swords in their hands to kill all the monsters and evil spirits. We must not bring down the reputation of our Tianlan Holy Sect."

The abbot Li Daoyuan stood at the head and gave instructions to his disciples.

"Disciple, obey."

"All disciples, listen to my orders and set off."

Many disciples were seen flying into the air with their flying tools, one by one boarding the inter-domain flying boat, until Li Daoyuan was the last one to come up. The inter-domain flying boat began to slowly change direction, and then in a blur, the inter-domain flying boat had disappeared from the spot, and when it was seen again, it was already at the horizon, and wherever it passed, the space made a buzzing sound.

Fang Xiao and Xiao Yan stood together, while Fatty Han was left in the outer courtyard because he did not have the cultivation base of the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Junior Brother Xiao, remember what Senior Brother said, and refine the elixir in the back, and don't worry about the rest."

"Yes, brother, but you really don't plan to team up with others."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I'll be careful."

He had learned before coming that cultivators in charge of logistics could also earn contribution points. Xiao Yan's fighting ability was too weak, and he could play a greater role in refining pills in the rear. So he told him in advance to only focus on refining pills and not to worry about other things.

Learning from books is always superficial, so Fang Xiao plans to act alone and use monsters to hone his sword skills.

As for why he didn't form a team, on the one hand, forming a team would not help him to train himself, and on the other hand, he didn't feel comfortable leaving his back to others, even if they were from the same school.

The cross-domain flying boat flew at high speed for ten days and finally arrived at Linyuan City. Linyuan City was close to the edge of the Southern Wilderness. The Tianlan Sect was located in the central and western part of the Eastern Region, close to the Middle-earth. Although it was not the closest sect to Linyuan City, it was the first sect to arrive.

The monks in Linyuan City breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the arrival of the Tianlan Sect's cross-domain flying boat, and the tense atmosphere in the city also relaxed a little.

The high-level monks in Linyuan City were either discussing countermeasures or carrying out their respective tasks. Li Daoyuan was no exception. Before leaving, he told his disciples that they could accept tasks in the city as a team or act alone. In short, they could make their own decisions based on their personal circumstances and be responsible for their own lives.

Monsters may appear at any time, and there is panic in the city. However, Fang Xiao is not worried about this. He assigns them to Linyuan City because it must be a place suitable for their strength as Qi Refining cultivators. There are dangers, but it is not a dead end.

The fact was just as he guessed. All the cultivators above the foundation building stage of Tianlan Sect went to the front of the beast tide. They were on the side, with only a large number of first-order monsters and a small number of foundation building monsters. As for the monsters with the strength of the golden elixir stage, they also had golden elixir cultivators on their side. If you really encounter one, you would be unlucky.

Ignoring the other disciples, Fang Xiao came to the mission acceptance point in Linyuan City by asking. It was a huge stone tablet. He walked forward and touched the tablet, and used his spiritual power to probe into it to read the mission information inside.

There is a huge amount of mission information, including all kinds of tasks, such as searching for people and objects, patrolling outside the city, scout investigation, and of course, technical tasks such as maintaining formations, refining equipment and elixirs.

He screened among them and finally accepted an ordinary reconnaissance mission. There was no fixed reconnaissance location, the individual mobility was very strong, and the reward was based on the value of the intelligence.

After accepting the task, he took a detour on the way out of the city and came to Wanbao Pavilion.

“The customer needs to buy something.”

"I need a magical instrument that can store demon souls, as well as a comprehensive atlas of demon beasts in the Southern Wasteland and a topographical map of Linyuan City with a radius of one million miles."

"It seems that the guest is going out of the city to exorcise monsters. The magic tools that store souls are somewhat inclined towards the devil. They were rarely seen in the Eastern Region before. When monsters from the Southern Wilderness attacked, our pavilion also refined some, but they only have the function of storing souls."

The Eastern Region is dominated by righteous forces, so they naturally did not allow the appearance of a large number of magic tools in the past. However, demon souls are a material with many uses, so they have been allowed to do so recently. Then, under the introduction of this waiter, he chose the magic tool Soul Storage Banner with the largest storage space, which was wealthy enough.

The most detailed atlas of Southern Wilderness monster beasts and topographic maps were also selected, but the guys at Wanbao Pavilion said that the monster beast atlas does not record all the monster beasts in the Southern Wilderness, and there will be some omissions. With monster beasts wreaking havoc recently, it is impossible to be sure whether a certain terrain has been destroyed, but it can be guaranteed that one can determine one's own position at any time.

He understood the situation of the rampant monsters, and then he paid more than 500 spirit stones and left Wanbao Pavilion.

He paid twenty spirit stones when leaving the city and obtained some recent news outside the city from the monk on duty.

According to the information from the cultivator, Fang Xiao thought about it for a while and flew towards Yunmengze in the southwest on his sword.

At the beginning, when he was within a hundred thousand miles of Linyuan City, he would often meet some monks passing by. If he met some easy-going ones, he would also communicate with them.

According to our understanding, you will encounter some scattered monsters beyond a range of 100,000 miles, which may be caused by them getting separated from their monster group. You will encounter small groups of monsters within a range of 250,000 to 500,000 miles. As for what is beyond 500,000 miles, it is not clear yet. However, you can imagine that even if there is not a dense tide of beasts, there will be large groups of monsters, and there may be high-level monsters mixed in. I am afraid that only a Jindan cultivator can escape from there unscathed.

In the blink of an eye, within a few days, Fang Xiao had already arrived at a location of 200,000 miles. He had encountered some monsters during these days, but most of them were in the early to middle stages of the first stage. There were only two in the late first stage, and he killed them all with ease, skinned them and sucked out their souls.

Gradually, he became quite proficient in the whole process of skinning, extracting tendons, dismantling bones, bleeding, and collecting demon souls. He even doubted whether he was more suitable to be a magic cultivator.

After taking out the Demon-Slaying Order, the contribution points have reached 220 points. Killing a first-level monster gives 10 points, 20 points and 40 points respectively. The accumulation speed is too slow.

He didn't feel any pressure at all in this range. After killing a few more ordinary monsters, he decided to continue moving forward.

However, it is better to be cautious. Although this place is called Yunmengze, there are also large tracts of mountains and forests. He decided to give up flying, and at the same time use the breath-concealing technique and wind-controlling technique to quietly shuttle through the dense forest, gradually advancing towards 250,000 miles away.
