The Yueqing Sect’s Mission Hall is located at the junction of the outer and inner sects. There are general missions issued by the sect, as well as other missions issued by elders or disciples within the sect. Any disciples of the Yueqing Sect, whether they are from the outer sect or the inner sect, can receive missions here. After completing their missions, they can receive corresponding spirit stones and contribution points.
Qin Mo walked straight towards the Mission Hall, stunning anyone he passed by. As the disciple of the Yueqing Sect’s Sect Leader, as well as reaching the Ninth-Level Qi Refining at the age of fifteen, Qin Mo was obviously a mystery in other ordinary disciples’ eyes.
However, Qin Mo was accustomed to being the center of attention in his previous life as he remained calm under the crowd of disciples’ searing gaze. His aloof attitude and indifferent aura made him appear arrogant and unapproachable that surrounding disciples only dared to peek.
Qin Mo’s slender fingers tapped on the giant table made from royal purple wood in front of him, creating crisp sounds. Royal purple wood is an extremely rare material for refining weapons in the Cultivation World, and only the Yueqing Sect would be imposed their riches by crafting such a large piece into an ordinary table.
The elder handling missions was Li Shuang, an elder of the outer sect. When he saw Qin Mo standing in the Mission Hall, he showed a doubtful expression. After all, this was his first-time seeing Qin Mo here. Not soon after, he beamed and asked, “Qin Mo, are you here to take a mission?”
Qin Mo glanced at Li Shuang and replied with one word, “Yes.”
Li Shuang also seemed to realize how silly his question was. What else would people come to the Mission Hall for other than to take on a mission? After making two awkward chuckles, with a twitch of his fingers, many strip-shaped objects made from jade appeared on the table.
Qin Mo’s eyes lit up. Having accepted the original host’s memories, he clearly knew that these were called jade slips, which were tools used by cultivators to store information. However, this was his first time seeing them with his own eyes.
He covered his hands with long sleeves and restrained his restless fingers. Now was not the time to study them.
“This is a mission from the Peak of Medicinal Cloud, requesting someone with attentive care to look after their herbs.” Li Shuang said as he pointed to one of the jade slips. Receiving no reaction from Qin Mo’s face, he gestured to another pile.
“This is a mission from the Pavilion of Scripture Depository, requesting someone with a serious attitude to organize their collection of books.”
“This is a mission from the Peak of Feral Cloud, requesting someone with patience to take care of their spirit beasts.”
“This is a mission from the Peak of Auxiliary Cloud, on cleaning the refining room.”

With that in mind, Li Shuang pointed to the pile of jade slips on the far right and said, “There are more dangerous missions in that pile, such as looking for herbal ingredients or refined materials in the Dense Fog Ridge. I know about your high talent, but you haven’t reached Foundation Building yet, so there’s a certain risk in going there.”
Hearing this option, Qin Mo’s eyes instantly lit up. Although he now had the original host’s memories, he hadn’t put what he learned into practice yet. This was the time for him to get experience. If he only did those simple missions instead of improving his abilities, others would catch on to his oddness. Thinking of that, his eyes were filled with determination.
Taking in the change in Qin Mo’s expression, Li Shuang immediately understood the youth’s choice and picked one of the jade slips out of the pile, then took out another one on him and handed both of them to the youth. He instructed, “This is Dense Fog Ridge’s map. You need to be careful.”
Qin Mo gave a slight nod, turned and left the hall.
In the rear, the disciples watched Qin Mo’s departure as they couldn’t resist discussing one after another.
“As expected of Da Shixiong!”
“I can’t believe he is going to Dense Fog Ridge!”
…
Qin Mo paid no mind to people’s conversations behind him. After leaving the crowd’s eyes, he fiddled with the jade slips in his hand off-handedly. The smooth, distincted fingers reflected on the turquoise jade slips were like a perfect work of art.
Only after he had his fill did he send his Divine Sense into the jade slips. He didn’t know if it was because his consciousness had been trapped in a mysterious space, but he seemed to gain the ability to put his Divine Sense to use with ease.
The first jade was recorded with his current mission, which was to obtain a jade peach.
Jade peach is a common herbal ingredient for refining medicinal pills, that or alchemists can improve the the quality of medicinal pills by adding jade peach in the refining process, but this ingredient can only be found in Dense Fog Ridge.
In the jade slip, it also contained what jade peaches look like and where it is commonly spotted. Jade peaches are like the peaches Qin Mo had seen in his previous life, except that a jade peach is only the side of an adult’s thumb, and a semi-transparent green jade color.
The second jade slip contained a map of Dense Fog Ridge and its detailed information. This ridge suddenly appeared thousands of years ago in the southern part of the Blue Sky Realm. It was originally a normal forest, and although there were magical beasts, their cultivation level was usually low.
Then millenniums ago, a strange black fog suddenly emerged from the ground, enveloping the entire Dense Fog Ridge overnight.
At first, cultivators thought that the black fog was something dangerous, but later, they found that the only changed factor was the magical beasts inside. Their cultivation level grew by leaps and bounds within a short period of time, as well as the appearance of numerous precious herbs. Now feeling at ease and after learning that those were the only differences, this place has become a popular spot for Sky Blue Realm cultivators to search for treasures with the passage of time.
Moreover, the Dense Fog Ridge is very close to the Yueqing Sect, thus, its disciples will often go there to train. The further in the ridge, the higher the cultivation level of the magical beasts. Qi Refining Disciples generally can only stay on the outskirts.
About the time to drink one cup of tea—or fifteen minutes—Qin Mo had reached the Dense Fog Ridge. From the outside, a thick black fog tightly surrounded the ridge, without the sign of escaping out of the Dense Fog Ridge’s range.
Qin Mo seemed accustomed to these magical phenomena the Cultivation World had to offer and didn’t feel much surprised as he casually stepped into the Dense Fog Ridge.
The sunlight suddenly dimmed, but it wasn’t as gloomy when looking from the outside. Although it was dim, it didn’t affect the visual perception. He surveyed the surrounding extremely luscious plants, speculating that there might be something here that was providing them with energy.
Qin Mo checked the map in the jade slip again and headed straight towards the location marked with sight of jade peach. He planned to complete the mission first before doing any practice.
On top of a cliff, he inspected the jade container with the jade peach. He let out a sigh of relief inside. Never would he expect that the fruit would be growing in such a remote place. If it wasn’t for his attention to detail, he might not have this jade peach.
Moreover, this Dense Fog Ridge was indeed a dangerous place in the Blue Sky Realm as it was famous for. He looked at his blood-soaked Biyou. Along the way, he faced countless magical beasts. Even if they were only in Qi Refining, they were still a rare encounter.
After storing the jade container into his cosmic bag, he stood up and straightened his clothes. Then he took out the flying magical items on him—a fan. Pursing his thin lips tightly, he sat on the item with an indifferent expression, with a thought to head elsewhere.
Surrounded by a lush bluish green color, with the occasional bird chirping. Being in this environment strangely eased his tense heart.
Since arriving in this world, he had always been vigilant, fearing that people might see a difference in him. Not to mention the many ways to make a person disappear in this Cultivation world.
And right now, he squinted his eyes as he sniffed the fresh scent of grass, feeling something in his chest opened up. During this, he could vaguely sense his soul, something seemed to shatter.
“Let go! I’m the daughter of the Yueqing Sect’s Sect Leader. If you dare to do anything to me, my father will definitely not let you off!”
Just when Qin Mo was feeling so relaxed, the familiar voice of a young girl was carried to him by the wind. He halted his flying fan and hovered in midair. That was the voice of Jin Ling’er.
“You think you’re so great just because you’re the daughter of a sect leader?” A clear youthful voice immediately rang after, sounding young but extremely arrogant.
Qin Mo frowned and headed towards where the commotion was coming from.
The translator has something to add:
Teo: Btw, I haven’t been using the exact punctuation mark used in the original text, the exclamation mark to be exact. There are like, nearly eight hundred exclamation marks in this novel, most of them were weirdly placed. It’s like the ‘Why Are We Yelling’ meme. For example, the elder nearly listed all of the missions with an exclamation mark. He must be extremely excited about getting rid of those missions.
Also, the author likes to use the same words/ description/ action repeatedly. Like there’s a word for jade/ bluish green (碧), they used it for Blue Sky Realm, jade-root grass, and now jade peach.
Thanks for removing the weird exclamation marks. Reading that many of them would drive me nuts.
You! Did! What! Hahahahahaha….ah. Yes. Too many explosive exclamation points can be exhausting. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the update ❤️
Thank you for the update. As I do with every novel I read on here, I will donate a kofi for every 10 chapters you upload
Thank You for the chapter ♡(> ਊ <)♡
I think it’s so funny the translator low key hates this novel. Totally valid. And low key same (I’m rereading it rn)
Why would you suffer with me?!
