Chapter 530 - 487 completion 1
At the foot of the Faceless Sword Sect’s mountain, Li Chengyi was often seen, visiting what were merely small villages nestled among the forest, occasionally interspersed with restful residences constructed by disciples from the mountain, resembling little mountain villas scattered among the trees.
The forest sea swayed, and from time to time, one could spot well-decorated, large estate-style attics that stood out starkly in the desolate mountain wilderness.
At this moment, at the mountain gate of the Sword Sect, Master Kui Ling and a few attendants escorted Li Chengyi to the outside of the gate.
Outside the gate, there was a huge pale blue protective barrier that cascaded down, covering the entirety of the Sword Sect.
An indescribable power fully safeguarded all the buildings here.
Li Chengyi and the other disciples undergoing their apprenticeship all stood before the vast mountain gate, surrounded by family members who were there to see them off.
After greeting the other families, Master Kui Ling’s attention focused on Li Chengyi.
"As per the rules, I cannot protect you along the way. You must complete the apprenticeship alone. There are designated locations; you need to visit the other three sects in turn, obtain marks from the disciples of those sects, and then circle back here to finish. In between, you have to complete a trial mission in a specified city," Master Kui Ling said with a hint of worry.
"But don’t worry; the trial missions are quite simple. For instance, your senior sister Yun Chen’s task was to buy a hundred candied haws that were already half-eaten by others, which was to increase interactions with the mundane world. The missions are mostly issued on the fly based on actual situations, and even the hardest tasks involve no more than capturing fleeing demon beasts, whose strength is not great; it’s just practice for you."
"I’ll be careful," Li Chengyi nodded.
"Just being careful is not enough..." Master Kui Ling thought for a moment and then took off a string of green beads that she had worn for a long time from her chest.
