Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

Chapter 113 New Mission, Ready to Depart

For the next few days, Li Youan went out to hunt monsters every day.

His daily schedule was very full, combining various techniques of whip fighting, spear fighting, and formations.

In particular, Li Youan can now cast the energy threads that control the formation quickly and accurately, with a maximum of ten threads.

Of course, Li Youan's greatest gain was in the practical application of these techniques when fighting monsters. Now he can integrate and combine whip techniques, spear techniques, and formations very well, instead of simply using only one technique.

At first, Dongfang Jinghong asked Li Youan to spar, but Li Youan did not agree. She thought Li Youan was just cultivating in his room. Later, after paying a little attention, Dongfang Jinghong discovered that he had gone to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest to fight against the demons. She decisively joined the team the next day when Li Youan went out.

"But how come you broke through again? Your cultivation level is improving way too fast."

Upon witnessing Li Youan's cultivation at the third level of the Kaiyuan Realm, Dongfang Jinghong was extremely surprised. This kid's cultivation had improved too quickly. Could it be that he was not only a genius in formations, but also a born Saint Body for cultivation?!

After training with Li Youan around the outpost for a few more days, Dongfang Jinghong's newly broken-through cultivation level was consolidated. At the same time, he also discovered that Li Youan's progress was truly rapid; his skill in manipulating formations was something he had never seen before.

-----------------

On the eighth day of the 13th squad's rest, Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong returned to the outpost's trading area with some monster materials to sell, and they went to find the same merchant that Qi Xuan had brought them last time.

After these few days of training, Li You'an's aura has become more refined and steady, and his eyes have become sharper. His level of the third stage of the Kaiyuan Realm is not only stable, but has even advanced a bit.

Li Youan now feels he can fight at least two versions of himself when he first broke through to a higher realm.

Especially with the blessing of the [Seed of Immortality], Li Youan looked as steady as an ancient tree, yet he also revealed a bloodthirsty nature deep in his bones.

After handing over the spirit stones, Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong returned to the cave belonging to the thirteenth squad.

These days, all the demon beasts that Li Youan sells are traded for spirit stones. He wants to accumulate spirit stones for future missions so that he won't be left out of spirit stones when participating in battles against higher-level opponents.

Ding!

Just as Li Youan and Dongfang Jinghong returned to their respective rooms, he saw a message on his terminal.

After clicking, Li Youan discovered that it was Captain Luo Jingshan informing everyone in their team to gather in the team's lobby the next day.

After replying to the message, Li Youan quickly finished washing up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to cultivate the "Longevity Tribulation True Scripture".

On the morning of the second day, Li Youan got up early and washed up.

Before 8 o'clock, Li Youan had already arrived at the open space in the hall. The two Luo brothers had already arrived and were leaning against the wall with their eyes closed, resting.

Upon seeing Li Youan enter, the two greeted each other with smiles and then closed their eyes to rest again.

Li Youan didn't mind, walked over to the two of them, and also closed his eyes to rest. They were all sworn brothers, and these past few days they had been either recovering from injuries or diligently cultivating, so they were all quite exhausted. There was no need for awkward small talk, jokes, or trying to liven things up.

As time gradually approached 8 o'clock, the members of the 13th squad arrived at the hall one after another.

After several days of rest, everyone's injuries had healed, and their spirits were refreshed. Looking at the imposing aura emanating from them, Li Youan felt that some of them must have already broken through to a higher level, and he felt even more confident about the upcoming mission.

Luo Jingshan was the last to arrive at the hall. He walked with a brisk pace and a ruddy complexion to the front of the group, clearly indicating that his injuries had fully recovered.

Luo Jingshan's gaze swept over everyone in the thirteenth squad, and he said in a deep voice.

"Let's go get our missions. Everyone has been resting and recovering from their injuries or training hard these past few days. Now that we have time to get our missions, let's get together and discuss them."

Soon everyone returned to Steward Liu's place. As Steward Liu walked out with a scroll of documents in his right hand, everyone listened quietly.

"Captain Luo, your rest period is almost over, and this is a new mission."

Luo Jingshan took the mission sheet. "This mission looks simpler; it's just a routine patrol. But we still need to patrol the outer area of ​​'Miasma Valley,' isn't that a small danger zone?"

Manager Liu nodded, then drew a map in mid-air, pointing to a valley that was marked on it.

"Look, this is the 'Morbid Valley,' located about three days' journey northwest of the outpost. In the last four or five days, four teams that have passed through there have reported to our intelligence department that the number of monsters active around the Morbid Valley has increased significantly compared to before."

Everyone looked at the "Miasma Valley" marked on the map. Just from the name, Li Youan felt that this location was not a good place.

Seeing everyone looking at the map, Manager Liu continued.

"Furthermore, we believe this is an organized gathering of demonic beasts. However, these teams have found that the gathered demonic beasts are only at the Kaiyuan Realm. Your mission is to patrol the outer perimeter of the Miasma Valley for 30 kilometers, capture some demonic beasts and bring them back. You do not need to go deep into the Miasma Valley to investigate."

Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the members of the thirteenth squad, Manager Liu began to explain.

"Of course, if you discover any large-scale abnormal activity by monsters, you can immediately withdraw your report. Under no circumstances should you venture deeper into the area without authorization."

Luo Jingshan thought about it carefully, then frowned slightly. "This Miasma Valley, the poisonous miasma there is extremely troublesome."

"It's precisely because there's some trouble that we need you to go," Manager Liu said.

"You've just been through a tough battle, and your teamwork and alertness are at their peak. Furthermore, this mission is primarily reconnaissance; large-scale battles with monsters are unnecessary."

"Of course, this mission was taken into consideration for your squad because the 13th Squad is an outpost and one of the few squads with a complete set of formation masters, alchemists, and treasure refiners. Other squads of similar status are either currently on missions or have just returned to the outpost. Only you are the most suitable."

Upon hearing Manager Liu's explanation, Luo Jingshan nodded and then extended his right hand.

"Alright, alright, each of you will be given three extra 'Malaria Clearing Pills.' Each 'Malaria Clearing Pill' will protect you from the poisonous miasma in the valley for twelve hours. Remember, safety first, and it would be best if you could bring back some monster corpses."

Seeing Luo Jingshan's actions, Manager Liu naturally understood what he meant and quickly spoke up.

"Alright, our 13th squad will take this mission." Luo Jingshan put away the mission notice and pills, then turned to look at his team members behind him.

"Let's go, to our usual spot, let's have a get-together."

Manager Liu watched the thirteenth squad walk out the door, then turned around and returned to his position.
