People came and went in an endless stream, some on foot and some on horseback. They talked in hushed tones and some negotiated prices loudly. The various sounds mingled together, creating a lively yet orderly scene.
Children chased and played in the square, their clear and melodious laughter adding a touch of childlike fun to the space.
In one corner of the square stands a tall stone monument, engraved with ancient characters and patterns, telling the history and legends of this land.
Around the stone tablet, some literati stood or sat, some wielding their brushes or reciting poems softly, immersed in their own world.
As he walked through the bustling streets, his steps were firm and powerful, as if each step was on a point in time.
After leaving the city gate, he did not choose the official road, but went straight into the depths of the dense forest.
In the dense forest, towering trees block out the sun, and sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
The air was filled with the scent of damp earth and the fragrance of trees, and occasionally the chirping of birds and the growling of wild animals could be heard from afar.
Nangong Yehua moved through the forest, his figure appearing and disappearing among the shadows of the trees. His eyes were sharp, constantly alert to any movement around him.
After searching for a while, he finally stopped in a relatively secluded place.
He looked around, and after confirming that there were no other people or animals, he gently closed his eyes and silently said:
System panel.
With a thought, a semi-transparent light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
Immediately following, a mechanical voice announced: "Congratulations to the dormitory for successfully completing the ancestral spirit's test. System activation is complete."
Then Nangong Yehua looked at the system light screen.
Host: Nangong Yehua
Cultivation: Mortal
Physique: Peak Mahayana Stage
Qualification: Dust-free
Landmark: Tian Tong Continent, Northern Heaven Kingdom, Capital City
Magical artifacts: Congyun Fang (Golden Core stage demonic sword), Wanhun Banner (Nascent Soul stage demonic artifact), Shattered Wuji Demon-Stabilizing Ring (later tertiary immortal artifact).
Task: Complete ten days of check-ins to obtain a Celestial-grade cultivation spiritual vein.
Chapter 132 Sign-in? Don't wait, do it now!
"I can get a celestial-grade cultivation vein by signing in for ten days. This is really great."
Nangong Yehua thought to himself. He knew that immortal-grade cultivation veins were extremely precious resources for cultivators, capable of greatly enhancing cultivation speed and effectiveness.
Standing deep in the dense forest, Nangong Yehua stared intently at the system screen in front of him, a sense of urgency rising within him.
He knew that his spiritual veins were severely damaged and needed to be repaired as soon as possible, but the time it would take to sign in for ten days to obtain a celestial-grade cultivation spiritual vein seemed rather long to him.
He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:
"System, besides checking in, are there any other ways to repair my spiritual veins?"
The system screen flickered slightly, followed by a mechanical voice:
"Host, besides signing in, there are indeed other ways to repair the spiritual veins. But please note that these methods may be more difficult and riskier."
A resolute glint flashed in Nangong Yehua's eyes, and he said without hesitation:
"No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, I will try. Please tell me these methods."
The system paused for a moment, seemingly organizing information, before speaking:
"The first method is to find rare spiritual herbs and medicines and repair the spiritual veins through alchemy."
"However, this method requires the host to have profound alchemy skills, and spiritual herbs and medicines are extremely rare, requiring a lot of time and effort to find them."
Nangong Yehua stood deep in the dense forest, his gaze firm and profound. After listening to the system's introduction, he had already made up his mind.
He said to the system in a deep voice, "System, is the second method you mentioned about taking on a mission to repair the spiritual veins? Please explain in detail."
The system's light screen rippled slightly, and a mechanical voice sounded:
"Yes, host. Some of the special tasks issued by the system will offer a chance to obtain the rare reward of repairing spiritual veins upon completion."
"The tasks are often quite difficult, but the rewards are also extremely generous."
A glint of light flashed in Nangong Yehua's eyes. He knew that there was never an easy path to cultivation, but as long as there was hope, he was willing to try.
He pressed further, "Could you tell me the general content and difficulty of these special missions?"
The system paused for a moment, seemingly organizing information, before speaking:
"The content of special missions varies. It may be to find a rare spiritual object or to defeat a powerful enemy."
Asking for flowers
"The difficulty varies depending on the task, but it usually requires the host to make a considerable effort and pay a price."
Nangong Yehua nodded, indicating her understanding.
He understood that these special missions were by no means easy, but only in this way could he have the opportunity to obtain the rare reward of repairing the spiritual veins.
He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination.
He knew he had to do everything in his power to complete these tasks, because they were his only hope of repairing the spiritual veins.
He said to the system screen, "Okay, I'm willing to accept these special missions. Please tell me how to accept the missions and begin the challenge."
A series of task lists quickly appeared on the system screen, with each task marked with its difficulty and reward.
Nangong Yehua carefully reviewed these tasks, secretly assessing his own strength and potential.
He could only see the reward, not the specific details. He took a deep breath and made up his mind.
"System, I choose to accept this mission," Nangong Yehua said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a confirmation message popped up on the system screen.
Without hesitation, Nangong Yehua pressed the confirm button, his face showing a resolute and determined expression.
Chapter 133 How can I take on disciples when I'm already crippled?
After Nangong Yehua accepted the mission, new changes appeared on the light screen panel.
Host: Nangong Yehua
Cultivation: Mortal
Physique: Peak Mahayana Stage
Qualification: Dust-free
Landmark: Tian Tong Continent, Northern Heaven Kingdom, Capital City
Magical artifacts: Congyun Fang (Golden Core stage demonic sword), Wanhun Banner (Nascent Soul stage demonic artifact), and Shattered Wuji Demon-Stabilizing Ring (later a lower-grade immortal artifact).
"Zero Zero Zero" Tasks: Complete ten days of check-in to obtain a Celestial-grade cultivation spiritual vein (Part 1) and recruit three disciples with superior aptitude (Part 2).
"Recruiting three apprentices will grant you a Celestial-grade item to repair your spiritual veins."
Upon receiving this task, he was completely stunned. His eyes widened; he could hardly believe what he was seeing.
"My spiritual veins are all damaged. I'm just a mortal. How can I take on disciples?"
He muttered to himself, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.
He knew that without spiritual veins, his own cultivation would be extremely difficult, let alone guiding others.
Nangong Yehua felt a wave of powerlessness. He seemed to see himself standing on a desolate land, with no one around and only himself standing alone.
He knew that this task was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him.
However, just as he was about to give up, a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes.
He understood that although his spiritual veins were damaged, it did not mean that he could never repair them.
The task given by the system may be his only hope for repairing the spiritual veins.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turmoil. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead, he could not give up easily.
After randomly identifying a direction, Nangong Yehua planned to follow the road and try to recruit any promising young talents as his apprentices.
At the moment he decided to leave the forest, Nangong Yehua deeply felt the powerlessness of his mortal identity and the pain brought about by the damage to his spiritual veins.
He used to be highly skilled and could walk through the mountains and forests as if on flat ground, but now he can only walk forward with faltering steps like an ordinary person.
In the forest, towering ancient trees block out the sun, and sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows on the soil and fallen leaves.
With each step, Nangong Yehua had to carefully avoid the thorny bushes and slippery mud.
His heart was filled with bitterness. He knew that if his spiritual veins were intact, he would have already drifted away, and there would be no need for such hardship.
However, reality was cruel. His spiritual veins were severely damaged, rendering him unable to use any spiritual power, and even his physical strength was greatly reduced.
Each step felt like a challenge to his limits. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and exhaustion and a sense of powerlessness constantly eroded his will.
But Nangong Yehua did not give up. He gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step.
He knew that only by leaving this forest and finding a suitable place could he complete the task assigned by the system and repair his spiritual veins 3.4.
During this process, Nangong Yehua deeply realized the hardships of ordinary people.
He witnessed the struggles of the small creatures in the forest to survive, and he also felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of the natural environment.
These experiences strengthened his beliefs and determination.
Finally, after a long trek, Nangong Yehua emerged from the forest.
Chapter 134 Ou Hancheng's disciples are in a dilemma
After leaving the forest, Nangong Yehua looked up at the sky. Sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and fell on him, warm and bright.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, closed his eyes, and felt the flow of the air around him, silently identifying a direction in his mind.
Nangong Yehua took a firm step and began his long journey. Although his steps were slow, each one was firm and powerful, as if an invisible force was supporting him.
Along the way, he passed through countless mountains and rivers, and traversed dense jungles and desolate Gobi deserts.
During her journey over the past few days, Nangong Yehua experienced countless hardships and challenges.
Sometimes he had to climb steep mountain peaks, and sometimes he had to cross dangerous swamps.
But no matter what difficulties he encountered, he never gave up and always maintained a firm belief and determination.
Finally, one morning, Nangong Yehua arrived at the front of a bustling city.
The city gate stands majestically, dozens of feet high, like an insurmountable barrier, guarding this bustling city.
On the city wall, the bluestone bricks gleamed slightly in the sunlight, appearing solemn and ancient.
Every stone on the city wall seems to tell the story of the city's long history and vicissitudes.
Above the city gate are carved the three large characters "Ouhan City," the characters vigorous and powerful, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity.
The font uses an ancient script, and the strokes convey a simple yet elegant feel.
Despite the passage of time, the color of the lettering remains clearly visible, as if showcasing the city's glory and honor to the world.
On either side of the city gate stands a stone lion.
These two stone lions are carved so lifelike, with each hair clearly defined and their eyes bright and piercing, as if they are ready to leap out of their stone seats at any moment to protect the peace of the city.
Their presence not only enhanced the majesty of the city gates but also brought a sense of security to passersby.
At the city gate, a group of soldiers stood in neat rows on guard.
They were dressed in uniform armor, carrying spears and longswords, and were full of vigor and imposing presence.
Their gazes were firm and sharp, constantly watching the movements outside the city gates to ensure the city's peace and stability.
At the city gate, a steady stream of people passed by. Some rode fine horses, some drove carriages, and some walked.
Everyone's face was filled with a satisfied and happy smile, as if they were full of anticipation and longing for this city.
Standing at the city gate of Ouhan City, Nangong Yehua was greeted by a bustling crowd and a busy commercial scene, a long-lost sense of prosperity wafting towards him.
However, as he prepared to step into this unfamiliar city, an unexpected problem suddenly arose—he needed to pay an entry fee.
Having just been reborn, Nangong Yehua was penniless, possessing neither spirit stones nor even a single copper coin.
He stood there, stunned, watching the pedestrians who easily entered the city with spirit stones in their hands, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Nangong Yehua frowned; he was well aware of his current predicament.
