Return Of The Demon 76 Uncommon Mission

Xiao Mei-er looked Bai Yun up and down. Bai Yun simply stood there nervously waiting for the verdict.

"Old Hai told us what happened. Is this going to be a regular occurrence?" She asked.

"Nope." Bai Yun replied while furiously shaking his head.

Xiao Mei-er stared at Bai Yun for a long time. After a while, she sighed. The terrifying power that was suffocating Bai Yun disappeared.

"If you had gotten injured while killing a useless peak qi condensation gangster, I would have disavowed you myself." She said. "At least you are not completely useless. But then again to be this injured while facing a useless gang, if it wasn't because your cultivation is so low, I would have told you to never tell anyone that you are my son."

Bai Yun smiled wryly when he heard his mother. She was truly fierce.

"I just have one question." She continued. "Why did you kill them all?"

"Huh." Bai Yun was confused. What else was he supposed to do wit trash like that?

"Killing them is far too generous." Xiao Mei-er said. "You should have let them suffer for a long time. Instead of killing them, you should have ad old Hai capture them. Then you can first cut off their ba**s and then slowly torture them. I mean there are so many good tortures you could try. You could have skinned then or boiled them alive. You could crush their limbs and hang them up on the street or... ."

For the next five minutes, Xiao Mei-er continued to list various tortures that one could try. By the end, every single person there including Bai Mu was quietly trembling. They all silently decide to never p.i.s.s off Xiao Mei-er. Ever.

Once she was done, Bai Yun quickly made his escape back to his room. Thankfully his mother allowed him to continue the a.s.sa.s.sin job. But she made him promise that if he ever came across a similar situation again, he would immediately call old Hai and not try to be a hero. Once he escaped back, he continued his recovery process as well as his alchemy practice.

Soon Bai Yun settled into a rhythm. Every morning he would wake up and spend the whole day practicing alchemy. After sunset, he would pick a mission from the blood moon card, and then go with old Hai to complete it. Most of these missions were to kill the leader of a local gang similar to his first mission. Except that these missions were placed by leaders of other local gangs and thus were more profitable than that. These missions were due to wars between different gangs in the area. Due to them placing a lot of missions like these all the time, most gangs, and gang leaders tend to die quite quickly.

Once he was done with the mission he would come back and sleep. Since he didn't run into similar cases as the first one, he did not lose his cool and battle with a whole gang by himself. This also meant that he did not get even a single injury during any of his missions.

In the blink of an eye, two weeks had pa.s.sed by. Yesterday Bai Yun had finally saved up enough money to buy two skin sewing pills.

Skin sewing pills were pills that contained a huge amount of energy suitable for creating the mysterious pattern of the skin necessary to complete the first realm of body transformation, skin sewing. Unlike normal pills, the skin sewing pill would release a special qi br.i.m.m.i.n.g with life force that is extremely suitable for skin sewing. And the qi would be released in a slow stream and not all at once. Since during skin sewing one used qi as a thread and needle, it was necessary to have a steady stream of energy and not a single big blob. Otherwise, the energy might dissipate before it could be absorbed.

Usually, a single skin sewing pill had far more than necessary energy to complete a skin sewing. It contained extra energy in case some of the energy of the pill was leaked out during the creation of the mysterious pattern. But the Undying Body needed a tremendous amount of energy to cultivate each skin sewing patch, much greater than any other technique. Thus he needed two. And that was with his G.o.d sense ensuring that not even one drop of qi would be lost.

By using two skin sewing pills, Bai Yun finally managed to reach the sixth sewing level. He chose to place the sixth sewing on his left shoulder. Even though it says left shoulder, the truth was that the sewing covered his shoulder, and his left chest and a part of the upper back.

In the past two weeks Bai Yun had also reached am extremely high level in alchemy for someone of his age. In fact, both of his parents were quite surprised by his talent in alchemy. By the end of the two weeks Bai Yun had not only managed to perfectly refine the qi recovery pill that he started out with, he even managed to refine three more pills which were even more difficult at the same time. All of them were nearly devoid of any impurities, unlike the very first pill that Bai Yun had refined.

But the most important thing was Bai Yun's success rate. He had almost perfect control of his strength and any ingredient he had refined once before, he could refine again without any problem. Bai Yun could reach a terrifying success rate of over ninety nine percent. In fact, the last pill he tried to refine was a simple healing pill. He even succeeded the very first time he tried to refine it, though not perfectly, something which was considered impossible without decades of training in the alchemy path.

As a result Bai Mu quickly realized that allowing Bai Yun free run to refine as many pills as he wanted was not a good idea. Given a little bit more time, he would be able to refine all the pills he needed for cultivation himself. Even if he cut off Bai Yun source of money, he could easily refine pills for money. So Bai Mu set the conditions that every pill that he refines had to be turned in to old Hai before he used it. If he was to use anything he made himself, then that was to be made using ingredients he purchased with his own money he won from his a.s.sa.s.sin job.

But Bai Yun was not too worried about it. The truth was other than alchemy, there were many skills that Bai Yun had extremely high attainments in. In his past life, he was born with a seamless body. The property of a seamless body is that it was extremely close to the heavenly dao. Thus the comprehension that others would take years to even sense, Long Tian could understand in an instant.

As a result, it was extremely easy for him to reach the G.o.d step in any dao. In order to reach the G.o.d step, one must fully comprehend a heavenly dao. It was easy for Bai Yun and he had reached the G.o.d step level of comprehension in multiple dao's in his life. In order to improve in the G.o.d step though, one must create their own daos. The seamless body was not of much help in this, but even then his perception and innate talent itself was so high that he still managed to break every record made for cultivation breakthroughs anyway. Due to this, he had reached the G.o.d level in a total of ten daos, an unprecedented achievement. But only in the destruction, sword, and s.p.a.ce daos did he improve after reaching the G.o.d step.

And he had reached the immortal and dao step of comprehension in many more daos. But he was not able to use it at all. Even if he had the high knowledge of the dao, due to his low soul strength, he could not apply them properly.

Even then, if it was just doing the basic things, it would be easy for Bai Yun do them. He had reached the G.o.d step in both Blacksmithing as well as Formation daos. If he only needed to make money he could easily work in either of these fields and do things that made others of his age, or even his seniors, look lie toddlers. But due to the low demand for blacksmiths and formation masters compared to alchemists the pay was much less. After all, people needed to use pills almost every day to cultivate, but a weapon once bought could easily be used for years before it needed to be replaced. And the major forces would rather grow their own formation masters, lest the weakness of their clan or sect protecting arrays be known to their enemies.

And after finding out the average pay that these professions would give, Bai Yun finally decided to just work as an a.s.sa.s.sin. Not only does it have the ability to pay well, it was also a way to train both his a.s.sa.s.sination technique as well as fighting techniques. His skills grew greater in the past two weeks than in the months prior.

And then today, just as he finished completing the sixth mysterious pattern and was about to start on his alchemy practice for the day, he felt his storage ring vibrate. Bai Yun checked it, only to find out that it was the blood moon card. It was strange for it to contact him on its own.

When Bai Yun collected it, the backside of the card was glowing. He was surprised by this. A single look was enough for him to tell that there was a message on it. He held the card in his fingers and touched it with his consciousness. The moment he did so, a message played in his ears.

"We have received an emergency request from a group of our inner section a.s.sa.s.sins. They fell into a hidden place during a training mission. Upon checking, we found that it was a secret abode that restricted entry to qi condensation realm cultivators only. Ths we have issued an uncommon mission to enter the secret abode and rescue the a.s.sa.s.sins. You can keep everything that you gain from the secret abode for yourself. If you are interested in joining the expedition, come to the address given on the map in the card by midnight tonight."

When he heard this he was excited. Blood moon does not often give missions. There were many ranks to these missions. And this was an uncommon mission, a rather highly ranked one. An uncommon mission meant that he could get both authority ranks as well as contribution points. This wouold help him a lot in his future gorwth. There was no way he was going to miss it.

BAi Yun left the alchemy cauldren there and ran out to buy all the necessary items he would need in order to explore the secret abode. He had heard many stories about people exploring secret abodes and getting supper strong legacies from the people he knew during the grand war. But by the time he learned about secret abodes, he had become far too strong to vist one and get the thrill of exploration. So Bai Yun was definitely looking forward to this rescue missoin.

And soon the sun set. As midnight arrived Bai Yun had old Hai drop him off near the location in the address.

It was time to go exploring.
