The plot of "Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One Always Collapses" is incomplete.

According to the rules of the Xuantian Sect, the newly promoted leader of the sword cultivators must complete a trial mission alone in order to receive a special reward from the sect leader.

Chu Mingyuan was no exception.

Wen Yubai deliberately changed his assigned mission scroll to another mission.

They also used a crude trick to cover up the warning that "there may be Nascent Soul demon beasts" above, so clumsy that even Foundation Establishment cultivators could see through it.

He also drew a route map, which was attached to the scroll.

To prevent any accidents, Wen Yubai also went to the sect under the pretense of handling some business, and personally set up multiple traps in Rainbow Valley.

Every part is just right, enough to make someone suffer greatly without endangering their life.

When Chu Mingyuan received the mission scroll, he examined it closely, and with a gentle touch of his finger, the illusion disappeared.

The words "There may be a Nascent Soul demon beast" appeared prominently.

He's just a newly established Foundation Establishment cultivator named "Dawn Cliff," where would he get the ability to handle tasks involving Nascent Soul demon beasts?

"Senior brother," he murmured softly, "this method of concealment is a bit too perfunctory."

He went to Rainbow Valley, a valley in its own right.

A thin mist lingered in the valley, and morning dew rolled on the emerald green fern leaves, reflecting a crystal-clear luster.

Chu Mingyuan proceeded calmly, encountering mostly low-level demonic beasts, which were perfect for Foundation Establishment cultivators to hone their skills.

Not wanting to waste time, he released his oppressive aura, causing the demonic beasts to stay far away.

Since falling into demonic cultivation, his cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, and he is now at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, just like Wen Yubai.

He turned past a thicket of bushes and stopped. Ahead, in the mud, lay almost transparent binding threads, still bearing the familiar aura of spiritual energy.

He deliberately stepped into the trap, letting the silk threads leave bloody marks on his ankles without even flinching.

The second trap was hidden high in the trees, with black iron thorns hanging from the dense foliage. Chu Mingyuan chuckled and took a detour.

The tactics used against "Li Mingya" were much gentler than those used against "Chu Mingyuan".

After checking all the traps, on the way back, a fiery bull with a bloodshot left eye rushed out, its burning fur distorting the air.

This Nascent Soul stage demon beast had clearly been through a fierce battle and was currently in a berserk state.

"roar--"

The roar stirred up a shockwave, but Chu Mingyuan remained calm and composed, his figure moving like a ghost through the forest.

He thought to himself, "Isn't this just a coincidence?"

So he deliberately led the Fiery Bull towards the traps prepared for him, inflicting further injuries on it.

Finally, the Hidden Mountain Sword precisely pierced the demon beast's brow, killing it instantly.

The Fiery Bull crashed to the ground, and only then did he leisurely peel off its hide, extract the crimson inner core, and store it in his storage ring.

This interruption caused him to deviate from the map's route, but Chu Mingyuan remained calm and composed as he walked through a dense thicket of trees.

Suddenly, a clear and tranquil pond came into view.

Surprisingly, despite it being the height of summer, a layer of ice had formed on the surface of the pool.

In the center of the pond, only one crystal-clear ice lotus blooms quietly, emanating a faint chill.

That is?

The legendary Ice Lotus that can reshape meridians and bring the dead back to life!

Chu Mingyuan did not rush forward. Instead, he prepared the Cold Jade Box, lifted the entire lotus flower from a distance, and put it into the box intact.

Finally, he went to the place where the rewards on the scroll were stored and received the champion's prize—the Tai Xu Measuring Ruler.

A high-grade spiritual weapon usable by Foundation Establishment cultivators, a piece of armor capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

-

Two weeks later, Chu Mingyuan returned.

As Wen Yubai wished, he returned covered in wounds.

"What is this?" The sect leader frowned. It was just an ordinary trial mission, so how could it have injured someone so badly? He looked at the disciple in charge of the deacon hall.

The disciple in charge looked bewildered. What was going on? He had indeed assigned a minor Foundation Establishment task.

Chu Mingyuan pulled out a fiery red demon beast core with his left hand and held a cold jade box in his right.

The temperature in the hall dropped a few degrees the moment the lid was opened.

Elder Ling of Purple Sword Peak stared at the inner core, exclaiming in surprise, "This is the inner core of the Fiery Bull? You actually killed a Nascent Soul demon beast all by yourself?"

Elder Jin of Danfeng rushed forward in a flash, exclaiming, "The Life-Suspended Ice Lotus! It's actually the Life-Suspended Ice Lotus!"

The hall erupted in uproar.

Chu Mingyuan turned to look at Wen Yubai in the corner, took out the map, and said in a clear voice, "I am entirely grateful for Senior Brother Wen's map. I will certainly live up to your expectations, given your painstaking efforts in marking it."

The sect leader beamed with joy again, "Good, good, good! Yu Bai is such a considerate and thoughtful child. What, are you worried that the reward I gave Mingya wasn't enough?"

One of the disciples suddenly realized, "No wonder Senior Brother went out the other day; he was scouting ahead for Junior Brother Li."

"Senior Brother Wen is so kind to Junior Brother Li, he even gave up such a rare treasure as the Life-Suspended Ice Lotus."

The inner disciples were buzzing with discussion, their eyes filled with admiration and respect as they looked at Wen Yubai.

Chu Mingyuan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Senior Brother was worried that I wouldn't be able to defeat the Fiery Bull, so he specially set up several traps. Otherwise, how could Mingya have succeeded so easily?"

"Nonsense!" The sect leader finished praising him and then turned stern. "This mission should have been completed by this disciple alone. Yu Bai, as the chief disciple, how can you be so biased?"

Despite this, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

The sect leader also understood that Chu Mingyuan had disappeared without a trace after falling off the cliff and had not returned to this day, which must have been a great shock to Wen Yubai, hence his actions towards his new junior brother.

"You're punished by spending three days in quiet contemplation in the library. As for these..."

The sect leader pointed to Chu Mingyuan's spoils of war, "Since it was obtained with your senior brother's guidance, you may take it all. Have the weapon-refining hall use Fiery Bullhide to forge you a decent set of protective gear."

"Yes, Sect Master."

After bowing, Chu Mingyuan turned to Wen Yubai, winked, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother. I will remember it in my heart."

Wen Yubai: ...

He doesn't, he really doesn't.

He explained several times, but no one believed him. Instead, they all had an "we all know" look on their faces, which made him not want to say anything anymore.

It's strange, really strange. He made Chu Mingyuan suffer a lot, and this person clearly saw through everything, yet still insisted on giving him the credit.

Nowadays, people in the sect have a better and better opinion of him. In the past, some people were not convinced of Wen Yubai's title as the chief disciple.

They think you, Wen Yubai, are highly talented, and your cultivation level is barely the best among their generation, but you are still far from being the chief.

And now...

"Senior Brother Wen is truly a role model for us all. Not only did he improve the sword techniques for the new disciples, but he was also willing to give up such a rare treasure as the Suspended Life Ice Lotus."

"Indeed! To ensure the safety of their disciples, they even went to Rainbow Valley to scout the way three months in advance."

"The chief of Yuqing Palace dares to call himself the number one among the younger generation. If you ask me, compared to our Senior Brother Wen, he's nothing."

"I second that!"

……

Wen Yubai was feeling a bit tired. It wasn't that he didn't want to clarify, but the more he tried to clarify, the more convinced everyone became. He couldn't possibly just reveal that he wanted to harm "Limingya," could he?

He now gets goosebumps at the mere mention of the word "senior brother," especially when he sees the gleaming eyes of those disciples.

It's like they're looking at some kind of sage.

After three days of confinement, he didn't leave the library. He didn't even want to report to Qingheng Peak anymore; he just wanted to relax.

What's going on here?
