This world is different from the previous one. It is normal for cultivators to have multiple Dao companions, as long as both parties are willing.


    Besides, isn’t Second Senior Sister adorable?


    Lu Yi silently murmured in his heart: ''Make Second Senior Sister fall in love with me.''


    [Task]


    Make Senior Sister Donggong Mingyue fall in love with me.


    Reward: 40% comprehension of Lightning Intent, Golden Core technique "Thousand Thunder Curse," and a mid-grade treasure, Purple Thunder Crown.


    Accept: Yes/No


    This mission reward... why is it so much less than the one for Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang?


    Lu Yi was a bit surprised, but then he remembered that Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang’s cultivation level was much higher than Senior Sister Donggong Mingyue’s.


    That probably made a big difference.


    Lu Yi accepted the mission and checked its status, only to find it still incomplete. He immediately felt a little disappointed.


    So, Second Senior Sister really hasn’t fallen for him yet?


    It seemed to be one of life’s three major illusions. Luckily, he didn’t say it out loud earlier, or it would have been embarrassing.


    Lu Yi stopped dwelling on the matter. Even if Second Senior Sister didn’t love him, she treated him quite well. Since others cared for him, he naturally cared for them too.


    Clearing his throat, he said seriously, “Senior Sister, if you keep acting like this, I might think you’re in love with me.”


    Donggong Mingyue’s face instantly turned red. She stomped her foot and said, “Junior Brother, w-what nonsense are you talking about?! T-this lady doesn’t love you!”


    Seeing her flustered reaction, Lu Yi chuckled and decided not to tease her any further. He took out a Level 6 Tiger Bone Spirit Ginseng Soup and a Level 4 Nourishing Spirit Dew, handing them to Donggong Mingyue with a smile. “Senior Sister, I was just joking. These are spirit food and spirit wine. You should focus on breaking through the Heavenly Dao restrictions.”


    Donggong Mingyue gave Lu Yi an angry look but nodded slightly. She accepted the items and patted her chest confidently. “Don’t worry, Junior Brother. With my talent, I’ll definitely break through without a problem!”


    Lu Yi nodded and grinned. “Second Senior Sister is the best.”


    Donggong Mingyue beamed happily. “Then I’ll head back first. You better focus on your cultivation too!”


    With that, Donggong Mingyue turned into a streak of light and disappeared.


    Watching her leave, Lu Yi shook his head slightly, feeling a bit helpless. He wondered how long her seclusion would last.


    It seemed there wouldn’t be any sparring tasks for a while.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    The Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk he earned from sparring with Jiang Fan had long been used up. Recently, his cultivation relied on the Hundred-Year Spiritual Milk obtained through monthly Trial Tower tasks. After testing it out, Lu Yi found that the Trial Tower tasks could be repeated monthly, providing a stable supply.


    In addition, his daily sparring with Second Senior Sister had also provided a supply.


    However, after reaching Qi Refining Level 10, his resource consumption increased significantly. The monthly supply from the Trial Tower might not be enough, and he wasn’t sure how long his current stock would last.


    It seemed he needed to find another senior brother or sister for sparring.


    As Lu Yi was thinking, he suddenly sensed two auras rapidly approaching.


    Turning to look, he saw two figures emerge from the forest and land in front of him.


    Seeing them, Lu Yi was momentarily stunned and then surprised. “Senior Brother Jiang Fan? Senior Brother Bai Yulong? What brings you two here?”


    Over the past five months, Lu Yi had occasionally gathered with Jiang Fan and the others to relax in between his intense cultivation.


    But normally, they wouldn’t disturb him on Lingluo Peak, as they had their own cultivation to focus on.


    Jiang Fan chuckled. “We’re here for something important. Junior Brother Lu Yi, have you completed this year’s sect mission?”


    Bai Yulong fanned himself and smiled. “It’s already the end of the year, and neither of us has completed our sect missions yet. We thought you might be in the same boat, so we came to find you.”


    Lu Yi suddenly realized. ''It’s already the end of the year?


    He rarely left the sect, and even in the outer sect, he only went out for missions when necessary.


    Naturally, he hadn’t completed this year’s mission either. After all, he didn’t lack resources and didn’t need missions for rewards.


    Similarly, Jiang Fan had joined Dark Water Peak and was reportedly favored by a Nascent Soul elder, who might take him as a personal disciple. He also didn’t lack resources in the Qi Refining stage.


    Bai Yulong, with a Golden Core grandfather, didn’t need to worry about Qi Refining resources either.


    The three of them were in the same situation—none had taken on sect missions this year.


    Lu Yi smiled. “In that case, let’s go.”


    With Donggong Mingyue entering seclusion, Lu Yi had been wondering how to gather more resources. Checking out sect missions seemed like a good opportunity.


    “Perfect. It’s better to have three of us for support,” Jiang Fan said.


    Bai Yulong grinned. “Exactly. Let’s head to the Mission Hall.”


    The three of them descended the mountain.


    It was their second visit to the Mission Hall since Du Gufang had brought them there to register as inner sect disciples.


    Upon entering the hall’s plaza, many cultivators noticed them.


    Several senior brothers and sisters greeted them warmly.


    “Oh, it’s Junior Brother Lu Yi.”


    “What a coincidence! You’re here at the Mission Hall today too?”


    “Junior Brother Lu Yi, are you here to take on a mission?”


    Faced with their enthusiastic greetings, Lu Yi responded with a smile.


    Over the past few months, Lu Yi had topped the Qi Refining Trial Tower rankings, becoming widely known even among the elders.


    He had certainly made a name for himself in the sect.


    Finally entering the hall, Bai Yulong sighed. “Junior Brother Lu Yi is quite the celebrity in White Cloud Sect now. I’m envious.”


    Jiang Fan laughed. “With his talent, you’d better give up on catching up.”


    Jiang Fan had once advised Lu Yi to keep a low profile and save some hidden cards, but after Lu Yi admitted he hadn’t even used his full strength in the Trial Tower, Jiang Fan gave up trying.


    What’s the point of advising a monster?


    Bai Yulong’s face twitched at Jiang Fan’s words. He glared. “Can’t you say something nicer?”


    The three of them joked as they reached the mission area.


    The hall was vast, bustling with inner sect disciples accepting missions.


    Disciples without resources often relied on missions for cultivation resources, unlike Lu Yi and the others, who only came for the annual requirement.


    Rows of counters lined the hall, where disciples could register for missions.


    The three found a counter with a short line and soon reached the front.


    The middle-aged cultivator behind the counter glanced at them, his gaze quickly settling on Lu Yi with surprise. “Junior Brother Lu Yi?”


    Lu Yi smiled. “Greetings, Senior Brother.”


    The middle-aged cultivator’s attitude instantly became enthusiastic. “Junior Brother Lu Yi, are you here for a mission? Do you have any specific requirements? I can help you find the best ones.”


    Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan exchanged glances, both twitching their lips.


    When had taking on missions ever been this warm and welcoming?
