The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 182 Outbound Mission
"There's only one Foundation Establishment Pill, and both Mother and Second Uncle need it. We'll have to exchange it with someone else."

According to her understanding, most of the disciples who won the top places in the competition had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but they still had some Foundation Establishment Pills left.

She would most likely try to trade these Foundation Establishment Pills away; she had even overheard Du Yi mentioning the idea of ​​trading them away.

The function of the Foundation Establishment Pill is to protect the meridians during the Foundation Establishment process, while also providing a large amount of spiritual energy.

If you take it yourself, it will only give you another chance to absorb spiritual energy, which you can obtain through diligent cultivation in the future.

It would be better to maximize the value of the Foundation Establishment Pill and trade it away; perhaps we could obtain a priceless spiritual item in return.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Du Yi managed to drop the Foundation Establishment Pill."

With that thought in mind, she immediately took out a communication talisman to send him a message, wanting to trade for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

She possessed quite a few spiritual items and artifacts, whose value was comparable to, or even slightly better than, Foundation Establishment Pills.

She had barely sent the message when Du Yi replied.

It is said that a junior sister recently wanted to make a deal, but the spiritual item she had was not of high value, so he was not very interested and was still observing. If she wanted to make a deal, he was ready to act at any time.

"Of course we can't let Senior Brother Du suffer a loss."

She had already decided what spiritual item to trade with him: two snow lotus flowers that she had cultivated to the second grade, with medicinal effects lasting for five or six hundred years.

She hadn't yet figured out the medicinal effects of the snow lotus, but its ability to aid in breaking through realms had increased.

She predicted that two flowers would be enough to elevate a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the first stage of cultivation by one realm.

This was a way of repaying the two senior brothers for their care during the exploration of the cave.

Half an hour later, Du Yi arrived at her courtyard.

"Why did you come in person, senior brother? I should have come to you."

"I just happened to be nearby, so I brought it over. This Foundation Establishment Pill is of excellent quality. Junior Sister, please keep it safe." Du Yi said casually, and handed over the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Thank you, Senior Brother! I cultivated these two snow lotus flowers myself, and their medicinal effects have reached the second grade, which can help break through bottlenecks."

After handing over the wooden box containing two snow lotus flowers, Chen Jinshu put away the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Junior sister, you're too kind. We can trade with ordinary spiritual items."

"Senior brother, please accept this. I've cultivated quite a few of these snow lotuses."

"Alright then! I'll accept it."

Du Yi's face visibly showed more joy, after all, as a disciple of Medicine King Peak, it would be a waste not to recognize the snow lotus.

After seeing Du Yi off, Chen Jinshu returned to her room to continue organizing the spiritual items in the four storage bags.

The jade pendant was the most peculiar, its whiteness almost unbelievable, as if it were not a natural stone but rather something specially made.

It has a warm and smooth feel when you hold it in your hand.

Moreover, its rank has reached the second level, giving it considerable defensive power.

……

Half a month later.

After tidying up the things in Momei Garden, Chen Jinshu headed towards the Medicine King Peak Affairs Hall.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, her speed when using the Flying Rainbow Step also increased by 40%.

What used to take a quarter of an hour now only takes a dozen or so breaths.

She came here mainly to receive the sect's mission for an outing.

The sect has a new rule that any disciple whose cultivation level reaches the Foundation Establishment stage must take on a mission every year.

Of course, the difficulty of the task can be chosen freely. Chen Jinshu came here mainly to find a task near Hongxia Market or Baichong Mountain Range.

The final distance will not exceed five thousand li.

Upon arriving at the newly opened task board area in the Affairs Hall, she saw a wide variety of tasks displayed there.

After she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, several senior brothers and sisters also left the sect to do missions.

The reason they haven't accepted any missions for so long is because of her Foundation Establishment.

Master Shui Huanmeng broke through to the Nascent Soul stage during her seclusion, and as her youngest junior sister, she should receive good care.

Having no way to repay the favor, Chen Jinshu could only give each of his senior brothers and sisters a bottle of the Demon-Cleansing Pill he had researched to help them resist demonic energy.

She stared at the tasks listed in the taskbar, feeling conflicted.

"Junior sister! These tasks are all similar, it's just a matter of distance. And all of them have sect ships passing by, so you can take a ship to the vicinity and then do the task."

The senior brother in charge came over and reminded him.

"Thank you, Senior Brother! I was wondering if there was a mission a little further away. It's in the Red Cloud Market area near the White Peak Mountains."

"I've never heard of either of these places, but if you tell me about directions to the north, south, east, or west, then I'll know."

"Head southwest!"

"Southwest?" the senior brother in charge murmured, and began searching through the mission notes in his hand.

"This place is quite remote. It's already close to the demon-infested land to the west. There are two missions here."

"One is an investigation mission in Qingxu City. It seems a very serious tragedy occurred there; the entire city vanished overnight, turning into a pool of blood. The sect suspects it might be the work of demonic cultivators. Their cultivation level is estimated to be no higher than the Golden Core stage. It's extremely difficult. I suggest four or five people work together!"

"It's that serious!" Chen Jinshu was also surprised for a moment upon hearing this.

This is no simple incident involving demonic cultivators; there are probably several thousand people in the entire city.

"What about the other task?"

"This task is much simpler. There is a water serpent that has transformed into a dragon and is wreaking havoc in Yulian City, causing damage to many surrounding towns. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators have been mobilized, but they have not been able to capture it. This water serpent is extremely intelligent; as soon as a powerful expert comes, it will immediately slip back to the bottom of the river."

"The mission is to investigate the origin of this water snake and its main methods. If we can kill it, that would be even better. The sect's reward is quite generous: three thousand spirit stones plus two second-tier spirit herbs! Or a mid-grade second-tier spirit weapon!"

"Of course, you need to have the strength to get it. If you only get information about the water snake, the reward is only five or six hundred spirit stones."

"I want this mission." Chen Jinshu immediately made the decision upon hearing this.

Yulian City is only about 4,000 li away from Baichong Mountain Range.

If she travels by riding the Yinshan Sparrow, she can arrive in a day or two, and it is convenient to travel back and forth.

"This is a mission token! Junior sister, keep it safe. After the mission is complete, you can present the token or the monster's corpse as a reward!"

"Thank you, senior brother!"

After Chen Jinshu took the mission token, he began to inquire about the sect's spirit ship that traveled to the nearby area.

Ten days later, a ship will be heading to Guanghan Immortal City in the west. It can take people along the way. All you need to do is help protect the cargo and cultivators on board.

Ten days passed quickly.

Chen Jinshu changed into an ordinary cultivator's robe and a light green long skirt, and arrived at the area where the sect's spirit ship was located.

Once outside the sect, one no longer needs to wear the sect's robes, which not only conceals one's identity but also facilitates movement.

After receiving permission from the Foundation Establishment senior brother who was guarding the spirit ship, she was assigned to a small room.

As soon as I entered the small room, I heard the extremely loud sound of a ship starting up outside.

"We'll be setting off in a quarter of an hour! Disciples who haven't boarded yet, hurry up!"
