The epic mission arrived, bringing spoilers with it.

Time: half a year later.

Location: Jade Cauldron Mountain Range.

Reason: True Stone vein emerging.

Scale: large-scale.

The above comprised all spoiler content, immediately exciting Jun Changxiao.

Currently, after cooperating with Pill Hall, industries successively expanded. Regarding profound stones, there was stable income—could completely be described as not lacking money.

However, profound stones were merely the Upper Realm’s most common currency. Above them were True, Dao, and Immortal Stones—those were stronger cultivation resources.

“Was just worrying about slow disciple leveling.”

Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together, “If we can obtain a large-scale True Stone vein, it will definitely raise the sect’s overall strength to another level.”

Decided!

Depart for Jade Cauldron Mountain Range as soon as possible!

Why quickly?

Because it only emerges half a year later, meaning currently nobody should know yet. If arriving first and confirming the location, they could completely dig it all out in advance, not leaving even soup!

Jun Changxiao could figure out with his toes that once such large-scale veins became known to the world, various major forces would definitely compete for them. By then, going himself, he could only obediently be a spectator—after all, strength didn’t allow it.

Spectator?

Absolutely not—I must compete!

So the best method was taking advantage of the epic mission spoiler to seize the initiative. When others entered, he’d already be happily bathing back at the sect.

However, a problem arose.

Where was Jade Cauldron Mountain Range?

Jun Changxiao quickly pulled out the Upper Realm map. After careful searching, he discovered it in the northwestern region, then clutched his head, “This is way too far!”

Home in the southeast, it in the northwest.

Traveling at normal speed, by arrival time it would already be completely excavated.

“Not a problem.”

Jun Changxiao thought silently, “Can use the Ancient Passage Warship.”

Profound stones couldn’t compare with True Stones. For this, Gou Sheng would absolutely burn through them like crazy once!

Opportunities.

Required gambling, required fighting for!

“Wait!” Jun Changxiao suddenly remembered something, “Empress Lingyao’s Lingyao Immortal Realm seems to also be in the northwestern region.”

Very good, very good!

Maybe there’d be opportunities to cause some trouble!

Jun Changxiao wouldn’t stupidly engage Empress Lingyao in direct confrontation now, but if conditions allowed, he’d definitely play some tricks to disgust her.

Gou the shameless one’s principle was: you play mind games and schemes with me, I’ll definitely return the favor using the same methods, even if just superficial!

What was this?

Right—true petty person.

…

Martial arts field.

Core disciples currently cultivating stood in a row.

They wondered why the Sect Master summoned everyone—could there be some major matter to assign?

Gu Zhaoxi and the Black-White Rakshas also came.

“Step!”

Shortly, Jun Changxiao walked out from the great hall, calling out loudly, “Follow this Sect Master to the northwestern Jade Cauldron Mountain Range.”

“Jade Cauldron Mountain Range?”

Gu Zhaoxi’s eyes showed surprise.

He’d heard of this place—a mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles. Because its interior lacked heavenly treasures or rare beasts, martial artists passing by were too lazy to enter.

“Sect Master.”

White Rakshasa said, “What are we going there for?”

“Sect training.”

“…”

Everyone immediately collapsed.

For training, they should go to forbidden lands. Why run so far to the northwest?

Though everyone thought this way, since the Sect Master spoke, they’d naturally obey unconditionally, so they summoned Seven-Colored Brilliant Wings preparing to depart.

“No need for trouble.”

Jun Changxiao waved his hand, taking out the Ancient Passage Warship, “Get on!”

“…”

Gu Zhaoxi’s mouth twitched.

The warship created by Ancient Passage True Person had strong performance, but using it for travel consumed resources quickly. Just for sect training, using it for transportation was probably…

“Bro.”

He walked over, saying quietly, “If you think you have too much money with nowhere to spend it, you can give it to me.”

“Cut the nonsense.”

Jun Changxiao glared at him, “Quickly get on.”

“Okay, okay.”

Those going to Jade Cauldron Mountain Range included Lu Qianqian, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and other core disciples, a hundred War Cavalry Hall members equipped with Diablo, plus Black-White Rakshas, Purple Scale Demon King, Ding Xingwang, and other high-ranking members.

Sect elites fully deployed—vein acquisition essential!

“Husband.”

Before departure, Hua Meigui said, “Can I go?”

“If you go, who’ll manage the sect?”

“Hall Master Wei and them.”

“…”

“Deploying so many elites, it’s definitely not as simple as training. Just let me accompany you,” Hua Meigui transmitted.

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao compromised.

Currently unable to confirm whether only he knew about the vein’s emergence, if encountering problems, bringing an assistant provided at least one more safeguard.

Though Gou Sheng strongly resisted fusion that turned his hair green, undeniably, with Hua Meigui’s assistance, combat capability increased significantly.

“Depart!”

“Whoosh—”

The Ancient Passage Warship activated, transforming into streaming light flying out from Eternal Immortal Mountain.

“So tired, I’m going to sleep.”

“Cultivate, cultivate!”

High-ranking members and disciples found various reasons returning to cabins, leaving only Jun Changxiao and Hua Meigui in the cockpit.

Excellent observational skills!

“Husband.”

Hua Meigui stood at the window watching scenery flash past, smiling, “This seems to be our first time riding the Ancient Passage Warship touring the Upper Realm together.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao said helplessly, “We’re not touring—we’re handling serious business!”

“What serious business? Can you tell me?”

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao pulled out a large batch of profound stones, pointing toward the rear drive device, “Replace them when energy runs low. Make sure to maintain propulsion.”

“Making your wife a tool person—Host is really something,” the System said.

“Screw off.”

Jun Changxiao focused on traveling, occasionally looking back at profound stone consumption in the drive device, his face showing waves of pain.

The northwest was very far.

However, as long as willing to invest, arrival would be quick.

“Husband, the profound stones are gone.”

Just a few hours passed, and the large batch of profound stones Jun Changxiao initially produced was completely consumed. This left him only able to endure the pain continuing to supply, consoling himself internally, “If we can obtain the True Stone vein, all expenditure will be worth it!”

“So beautiful.”

The next day, the Ancient Passage Warship passed over a flower sea. Standing at the window, Hua Meigui’s eyes sparkled with delight.

She loved flowers.

Especially roses.

“Childish.”

Jun Changxiao said coldly, then stopped the ship, “Move aside, I’ll change the energy source.”

“Didn’t we just change?”

“Change again!”

“…”

Seeing her husband with a stern face walk over, Hua Meigui couldn’t help laughing out loud, “You deliberately stopped the ship to let me see the scenery, right?”

“Knowing that, why ask? Hurry up and look!”

“Won’t it delay serious business?”

“You woman are so long-winded. If you won’t look, I’ll start the ship.”

“I’ve seen roses filling the courtyard planted by my husband so many times—already tired of them. Better focus on business first.”

“Whoosh—”

The Ancient Passage Warship activated again, flying away without looking back.
