The next day, Xuan Kong said goodbye to everyone and left alone. The master left slowly, his figure gradually drifting away in the lingering clouds, his back reflecting the afterglow, leaving a deep farewell.
Everyone stood silently, watching his back.
After returning to the sect, Mo Qinghuan sent the others away and explained to Lin Bing and Su Yueyan.
"You have experienced a storm this time, and your body may have suffered a lot of damage."
As she said this, she handed the two of them some good elixirs and continued.
"These elixirs are very effective in restoring physical strength and repairing injuries. Remember to take them on time and don't neglect the recovery of injuries."
After seeing the two accept it, Mo Qinghuan continued to give instructions.
"In the recent period, you'd better not go out, practice well in your own cave, and take care of your body. These elixirs can not only heal your injuries, but also assist in your practice. They were all obtained with great difficulty by my master. You must not Disappointed."
Lin Bing and Su Yueyan nodded in agreement, thanked each other, and took the elixir handed over by Mo Qinghuan, their gratitude beyond words.
Under the instructions of their master, the two decided to practice with peace of mind to better contribute to the sect in the future.
After Mo Qinghuan finished speaking, he remembered something and handed Su Yueyan's flying magic weapon back to her, saying with a trace of reproach and worry in his eyes.
"In the future, you should pay attention to your own things, especially important magic weapons. Don't let such misunderstandings happen again. You are all the hope of the sect. Protecting yourself is the greatest contribution to the sect. While practicing, you must also Be alert and avoid accidents.”
Su Yueyan understood and showed a hint of apology on her face. She nodded solemnly: "Master, don't worry, I will be more careful in the future and won't let you worry about me again."
The master's care made Su Yueyan feel warmer, and she was determined to work harder to practice and bring glory to the sect.
After bidding farewell to their master, Lin Bing and Su Yueyan met again to go to the sect hall, where they received the mission.
Because they have all completed the tasks they have taken on, now that they have returned to the sect, it is naturally time to receive the task rewards.
The owner of the Huoyang store that Su Yueyan purchased in Wansha City had already sent it to the Blood Moon Sect two days ago.
And because the quality of the living yang she purchased this time was very high, each one was very strong, and was deeply loved by the disciples of the sect, so the elder of the sect also rewarded her with an additional twenty pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones.
Coupled with the original reward of 50 mid-grade spiritual stones from Su Yueyan's mission, this meant that Lin Bing received a total of 70 mid-grade spiritual stones this time, which can be said to be a very generous reward.
As for Lin Bing, he originally only collected five Liuyin Dingling Lingcao in the Black Rock Mountains, and Su Yueyan happened to collect five as well, so he simply gave them to Lin Bing to hand over the task.
There are no additional rewards for this kind of mission, so Lin Bing only received the thirty mid-grade spiritual stones as a mission reward.
However, this was already an absolute huge sum of money for Lin Bing. He had never received so many middle-grade spiritual stones at once in his life.
When he held the heavy thirty middle-grade spiritual stones in his hands, Lin Bing even felt his hands trembling.
Although this is not really a lot of spiritual stones, it is almost the price of a strong live sheep, which is not looked down upon in front of powerful monks, but Lin Bing was too poor before, and now he can't even think about it without being excited.
After each received the spirit stone reward from the mission, Lin Bing and Su Yueyan left and returned to their respective caves.
After returning to the cave, Lin Bing immediately poured out a pill from the small porcelain bottle given by his master.
The top-grade elixir was like a crystal-clear pearl at night, with a faint glow surging on its surface, and its shape was like a delicate lotus.
The petals are slightly open, as if a mysterious fragrance is about to bloom at any time. On the surface of the elixir, subtle runes flow like a dream, outlining ancient and mysterious patterns.
Inside the elixir, a pale golden line spreads from the core of the elixir, connecting the entire elixir like a mysterious spiritual vein.
In the transparent medicinal body, colorful light spots can be faintly seen wandering, as if containing the power of stars.
When this top-grade elixir is held in the hand, a warm and powerful energy spreads throughout the body.
With a light touch, it feels like touching the purest power between heaven and earth, making people feel an indescribable comfort.
Lin Bing was amazed at Master's generosity. I'm afraid the entire sect wouldn't be able to find a few pills of this level! After taking the elixir, he sat cross-legged and began to practice to improve his strength.
However, he soon discovered that the breath in his body was always stuck at a certain point and could not break through no matter what. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he became uncontrollably anxious and irritable.
This situation lasted for a long time, from day to night.
In the dark night, Lin Bing sat in his cave. The lights in the room gradually dimmed, leaving only the faint candlelight.
Suddenly, a chill came over, making Lin Bing feel shivers down his spine.
He clasped his hands, trying to stabilize his mind.
At this moment, he felt an invisible presence beside him, as if a pair of dark eyes were watching him.
Lin Bing tried hard to hold back the fear in his heart and used his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation in the cave. However, he saw only darkness in the room, and could not see anything clearly except the weak candlelight.
He withdrew his consciousness and tried to continue practicing, but a black shadow appeared again, like a snake, tightly entangled him, and countless other black shadows also emerged from the shadow and surrounded him.
The black shadow sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared, like a ghost wandering in the night. Lin Bing felt chills, but he tried to stay calm and tried to get rid of this uninvited guest.
However, the black shadow seemed to have a will of its own, always surrounding him, exuding an indescribable cold atmosphere.
That night, Lin Bing's practice became extremely difficult. He tried to concentrate on breaking through the bottleneck in his body, but the black shadow occasionally impacted his consciousness, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
Lin Bing frowned slightly. He tried to find peace deep in his heart, but the black shadow seemed to be alive, twisted and unable to be controlled.
He felt an invisible oppression more and more, as if the black shadow wanted to swallow him deeply.
Knowing that he felt the black shadow trying to penetrate into his body along his seven orifices, Lin Bing felt the limit in his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes and stood up resolutely.
He pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and the sword in his hand burst out with cold light. He swung the blade without hesitation and slashed at the black shadow surrounding him.
"Fuck you all! Get out of here, all you ghosts!"
The sharp sword energy was like thunder, piercing the night sky, and the black shadows let out dark screams under the stimulation of the sword light.
