Task: Become a Level One Rune Master. Reward: Spirit +2, Comprehension +2, Basic Rune Path Talent +2. Completed. Claim?]
"Claim!"
[Spirit 23 (One in a Hundred) — Spirit 25 (One in a Hundred)]
[Comprehension 19 (Outstanding) — Comprehension 21 (One in a Hundred)]
"Phew~ Refreshing! Another boost."
Lin Xuan felt a cool surge in his mind, extremely comfortable.
"Spirit power is much stronger now. After condensing the Rune Seal, my control over it has improved greatly.
Now casting Beast Mastery is much easier, and the spiritual imprint is more stable."
He tested his spiritual power, increasingly satisfied with the results.
"Time to practice the Youxuan Sword."
"Let's create a task for that!"
[Task: Practice controlling the Youxuan Sword for one minute. Reward: Spiritual Power Control Proficiency (Beginner) +1]
"This works perfectly, great."
Lin Xuan immediately began training.
Controlling the Youxuan Sword was not martial arts, but the reward was "Spiritual Power Control" proficiency.
It's a basic skill, akin to body strength or Yuan Power control.
Yet precisely because it's basic, it's crucial.
At equal strength, mastery of control can determine success or failure.
Lin Xuan didn't rush into other matters.
He trained in the courtyard, stabilizing his newly condensed Rune Seal.
With the previous reward pills....Spirit Cultivation Pill and Constraining Spirit Pill.....he could train almost nonstop.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye!
[Task: Spiritual Power Control Mastery. Reward: One Fifth-Rank Spirit Cultivation Pill. Completed. Claim?]
[Task: Ancient Whirlpool Rune Seal Condensing Method Mastery. Reward: One Fifth-Rank Constraining Spirit Pill. Completed. Claim?]
"Claim!"
He received two more pills, his mood soaring.
Now he could easily control the Youxuan Sword, his spiritual power precision reaching the finest level.
Even releasing spiritual power to scan now, he knew late-stage Tianyuan experts wouldn't detect him.
Only when control reaches perfection does one realize how crude prior usage had been.
Additionally, his Core Spiritual Talisman was fully stabilized, and his spiritual power increased.
Lin Xuan felt he had reached Level Two Rune Master standards, and in a few days, he could attempt his second Rune Seal.
"Time to investigate the Lei and Xie families. Ideally, I'll kill Lei Bao before he breaks through to Yuandan, to prevent trouble."
That night, Lin Xuan rose, placed Hu Ying into the Alchemy Furnace, and quietly left the manor.
His power was enough to sweep through Tianyuan, and with the Youxuan Sword, he could even challenge Yuandan-level opponents.
In the original story, Lei Bao would attempt Yuandan breakthrough before targeting the Lin family.
Timing matched perfectly. Lin Xuan's principle: crush threats at their origin.
Half an hour later!
Clad in a black robe reserved for Soul Hall Elders, Lin Xuan arrived at the Lei residence.
Outside the mansion, he used spiritual power to scout.
Now a Level One Rune Master, his spiritual power could reach every corner of the Lei estate.
The mansion was eerily quiet, likely because Lin Xuan had already killed four Tianyuan experts from the family, weakening their strength.
Deep in a courtyard, he located Lei Bao.
His spiritual power acted as his eyes.
Lei Bao sat cross-legged on a mat, a sandalwood incense burning in front of him. Red stones, four fruits, and three pills were on the table.
Over a hundred Yangyuan Stones.
Four fruits—three blue, one red—were recognizable.
Blue ones were Qingyuan Fruits, Fourth-Rank herbs.
The red was a Fire Source Fruit, Fifth-Rank herb.
The three pill bottles contained ten each—thirty Yangyuan Pills total.
He appeared to be meditating, preparing to break through once fully restored.
"Heh, old man, still not breaking through? Then no chance for you."
"Quite the stash of resources… seems like they're being delivered to me. Too bad I'm taking the initiative." Lin Xuan's smile turned dangerous.
"Ha ha ha, in that case, I won't blame myself for taking them directly!"
[Task: Kill Lei Bao. Reward: One Fifth-Rank Constraining Yuan Pill.]
"Whoosh!"
Lin Xuan stood on the Youxuan Sword, flying low. The black robe hid him in the night.
Above Lei Bao's courtyard, he suppressed his aura, descending quietly.
Stealth over brute force—precision strikes were safer.
He sent the Youxuan Sword in like a shadow, shooting through a window straight for Lei Bao's forehead.
The window shattered. Lei Bao jolted awake.
"Who—"
Before finishing, a stream of blood erupted from his forehead.
"Hmm, dying this easily? Too simple!"
Lin Xuan entered. Lei Bao sat on the mat, a blood hole in his forehead, eyes wide as if witnessing something impossible.
The Youxuan Sword's shadow lingered in his vision.
"You're a good man!" Lin Xuan said seriously.
