During this time, Fire Fierce Senior Uncle also fulfilled his promise, introducing him to two cultivators who specialized in taking care of spiritual pets, both of whom had fire attribute monster beasts.

However, these two treated their spiritual pets with great affection, unlike Fire Fierce’s cold demeanor.

He tended to each spiritual pet for a month, earning a total of 200 merit points. Now, he had accomplished his annual merit task. However, these mere hundreds of merit points weren’t enough to exchange for high-order spells.

As for titles, he didn’t venture out from the Inner Sect much, being constantly engaged in cultivation, so he didn’t earn any new titles. Apart from the recently upgraded [Grain Wisdom from One’s Mistakes], there were no others.

Regarding spells, the Catalyzation Technique, the Entwining Spell, and the Concealing Breath Technique, these three beginner spells, have all been upgraded to the Great Perfect Level. The Fire element technique, Flame Flying Fire, has also been upgraded to the Great Achievement Level. His two medium-level farming practices have now also reached Great Achievement Level.

Next, he planned to take on some completely overwhelming tasks to gain merit points, and at the same time, he wanted to verify his guess about the title related to [Base Life Form].

Lin Yi flew to Tian Yun Xian City on his flying boat. With his Great Perfect Level Concealing Breath Technique and under the effect of [Base Life Form], he could pass by qi refining cultivators without catching any attention.

Those kind-hearted senior brothers that wanted to team up with him before didn’t even spare him a second glance.

On arriving at the Merit Hall, he stood at the window where tasks had qi refining middle stage constraints and began browsing tasks. Generally, the cultivation levels of targets in tasks posted in the Merit Hall were around the middle qi refining stage.

After viewing dozens of tasks, Lin Yi’s attention was drawn to one where the task’s simple information was displayed.

Kill a qi refinement sixth layer flower thief, who has escaped capture multiple times. As per reliable information, our quarry is currently active in a mortal city. The task window is one month. Those accepting this mission must not be stronger than qi refinement sixth layer. Reward: 100 merit points.

Lin Yi understood why no one took this task—the mortal world might be within the Heng Yuan World, but it drastically differed from the Cultivation World. It barely had any spiritual energy.

A cultivator venturing into the mortal world would feel like they’d suddenly plunged from a cool world into a harsh, desert environment. It was extremely uncomfortable, and the spells they could cast would also be severely affected.

If a cultivator stays too long in a mortal environment without spiritual energy, even their internal spiritual energy would become sluggish unless they used pills to cultivate daily and keep their internal spiritual energy active.

In the Cultivation World, even in places without spirit veins, the surrounding environment would still be filled with some spiritual energy. Even if it wasn’t enough for cultivation, it would at least provide a pleasant feeling for cultivators.

Moreover, a flower thief strength at the sixth layer of qi refinement who could make it to the Liu Yun Sect’s merit reward task being, must not be a pushover. He must be highly skilled at escaping and hiding.

Especially for a cultivator descending from the cultivation world to the mortal realm, the spiritual power fluctuations would be highly conspicuous amongst a crowd of mortals.

Lin Yi thought for a while and decided to practice on this flower thief first. His Concealing Breath Technique, coupled with [Base Life Form], was enough to blend his aura perfectly with ordinary people so that the flower thief wouldn’t notice him.

Additionally, his Spirit Wood Technique had been cultivated to the Great Perfection level. As long as this thief’s concealment ability was weaker than his, he’d definitely discover him.

This would give him a complete upper hand in the mortal realm, a place devoid of cultivators apart from his target. Needless to say, he would be quite safe there.

Lin Yi first reduced his Great Perfect Concealing Breath Technique to the Great Achievement Realm. He was not sure if the spiritual artifacts that detected cultivation levels could see through his Great Perfection Concealing Breath Technique.

Therefore, he chose to decrease his level voluntarily. He couldn’t risk others finding out about his formidable Concealing Breath Technique.

He then approached the window to accept this thirty-second task. A Merit Hall disciple immediately held up a mirror and shined it on him.

The mirror’s light saw through his Great Achievement Level Concealing Breath Technique and revealed his sixth-layer cultivation that he had hidden through his title.

The disciple recorded Lin Yi’s identity token and then handed him a paper with the specific task details, “You have one month. Make sure to carry your pills.”

“Thank you, senior brother.” Lin Yi thanked him and committed all of the information in the paper to memory.

This was a mortal city under the jurisdiction of the Liu Yun sect named Qing Shi City. As there were chances of mortals possessing spirit roots in the mortal world, this city naturally became a point of contention for various sects.

This had even sparked a large-scale battle. Later, after negotiations, each sect established their jurisdictions.

Any mortal possessing spirit roots found within these jurisdictions would belong to the respective governing sect, and other sects weren’t allowed to covet them.

Upon returning to Jin Qiao Peak, Lin Yi began preparing to embark. He would not be staying in the mortal world for a month, his plan was to conclude the fight as quickly as possible.

First, he needed pills for recovering spiritual power: Recovery Pills. Unlike Gathering Qi Pills, these were specially designed for quick recovery of internal spiritual power and could be used immediately after a simple refinement. It wouldn’t increase cultivation levels.

Gathering Qi Pills, on the other hand, required using cultivation techniques to refine the spiritual energy within the pill completely before it could be transformed into spiritual power, simultaneously promoting cultivation levels..
