Chapter 7 You, my senior brother, are hiding your abilities!

The person knocking on the door was an Outer Sect Disciple who joined at the same time as Li Xuanfeng.

"In four days, cultivation will be tested at the True Martial Hall. Be sure to arrive on time!"

"If you fail to appear, it will be treated as a forfeiture, and you will be sent down the mountain!"

The Disciple left after delivering the message.

Li Xuanfeng remained calm.

Because he no longer needed to worry about this.

He was about to be promoted to the inner Sect, so naturally, he didn't have to worry about being sent down the mountain.

"Wei Qingyan just had a Breakthrough. To Breakthrough again, it will take at least a few days."

"Before the cultivation test, I probably won't be able to Breakthrough to the Qi Circulation Realm."

"I'll look for a task these two days!"

Li Xuanfeng mused.

Outer Sect Disciples must complete at least one task every month.

Tasks varied in size.

Large ones included going down the mountain to find medicinal ingredients, investigating certain incidents, hunting specified Yao Beasts, or even slaying bandits and brigands.

Small ones included guarding the mountain, escorting Yao Beasts, patrolling the Sect gate, transporting supplies, and so on.

Simply put, there were dangerous ones and non-dangerous ones.

Dangerous tasks usually offered good rewards.

Non-dangerous tasks also offered enough rewards for Outer Sect Disciples to Cultivate for a period.

In the past, Li Xuanfeng would specifically stake out the Affairs Hall.

He would compete with other Outer Sect Disciples for tasks with low danger, where the swift got them and the slow got nothing.

His talent was average, his strength was average, so he had no other choice.

But times were different now; he no longer needed to go to the Affairs Hall in advance to stake out and compete for tasks with fellow Disciples in the Body Tempering Realm.

The Affairs Hall was extremely vast.

It resembled a true imperial palace.

Most of the outer Sect's affairs could be handled here.

Claiming tasks was one of them.

The Elders would organize and display each task.

The task details and rewards were clearly written.

Disciples could register and claim them with their identity tokens.

"[Due to a Disciple from the East Medicinal Garden Section C being out on business, a Disciple is needed to help care for the medicinal garden for three days.]"

"[Requirements: Must possess some knowledge of medicinal ingredients, have relevant experience in managing a medicinal garden, no cultivation Realm requirements.]"

"[Reward: Half a bottle of Body Tempering Spiritual Liquid.]"

… "[Outer Sect Disciple Wu Jiu went down the mountain to perform a task and has not returned after seven days past the deadline. A Disciple is now needed to investigate the situation.]"

"[Requirements: Two Disciples with cultivation at Spirit Aperture Realm Third Level or above, and who have learned a Medium Grade Human-Rank Body Technique Martial Skill. Disciples with investigation experience are prioritized.]"

"[Reward: Two Zhenqiao Pills.]"

… Li Xuanfeng briefly scanned a few tasks.

He found the rewards to be rather ordinary, not containing what he wanted.

He wasn't in a hurry to claim one, as tasks were updated almost daily.

He planned to come back tomorrow to check again.

"Senior Brother Li!"

Just as he turned around, Li Xuanfeng heard a familiar voice.

Who else could it be but Wei Qingyan?

"You're here to claim a task too?"

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

"Just looking around casually."

Wei Qingyan said.

Outer Sect Disciples must complete one task every month; this was a strict rule of the Sect.

However, she wasn't planning to just claim any random one to complete it.

She no longer had much need for Body Tempering Spiritual Liquid, but rather required better Cultivation resources.

So, like Li Xuanfeng, she placed importance on task rewards.

After a few glances, she also decided to come back tomorrow.

The two walked out of the hall, chatting and laughing.

"Is that Wei Qingyan, the top scorer in this entrance assessment?"

"She's so beautiful, like a Fairy!"

"Who is she talking to? Their relationship seems quite unusual!"

"He looks a bit familiar, but I don't know him!"

Wei Qingyan's beauty was outstanding, and her demeanor was cold.

Although she had only been in the Sect for less than a month, she had already become the most beautiful woman in the outer Sect through word-of-mouth among the Disciples.

However, she rarely appeared in public and seemed very aloof, making her unapproachable.

It was unexpected that she was just now chatting and laughing with Li Xuanfeng, which greatly astonished everyone.

"I know him. His name is Li Xuanfeng. He entered the Hundred Sword Mountain at the same time as me. It's said that his Realm has not yet broken through to the Spirit Aperture Realm, and he will be sent down the mountain in a few days!"

A Disciple nearby said indifferently.

Not many people knew Li Xuanfeng because he was too low-key.

Poor talent, weak strength, no connections, no background—he couldn't afford not to be low-key!

"So he's a good-for-nothing!"

"I remember there will be a unified cultivation test in three or four days, I wonder if he'll still be able to smile then?"

"Hehe, we can go watch the fun then!"

A person whose cultivation was almost at the bottom among his peers, yet was so close to someone like a Fairy, it was hard not to make people jealous… The two separated shortly after leaving the Affairs Hall.

Wei Qingyan headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.

"Sword Spirit Sister, what was wrong with you just now?"

After Li Xuanfeng's figure disappeared, Wei Qingyan couldn't help but ask.

When she saw Li Xuanfeng in the Affairs Hall just now, she seemed to hear the Sword Spirit's uncertain exclamations.

Then it fell silent.

At the time, she was chatting with Li Xuanfeng and it was inconvenient to ask, so she only spoke in a low voice now.

"This Senior Brother of yours has been hiding his true strength!"

"He is not at Spirit Aperture Realm Third Level, but at Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Stage Peak!"

The Sword Spirit's voice rang in her mind.

"What?"

Wei Qingyan was a little surprised.

She couldn't see through Li Xuanfeng's Realm.

A Cultivator's Realm is not like a game Rank that can be seen at a glance.

To know someone else's cultivation Realm, there are generally several ways.

The first is when the other party actively releases all their aura, and others can roughly judge the cultivation Realm based on the strength of the aura.

The second is to possess powerful Divine Sense, which can be used to probe cultivation.

The third is to Cultivate a powerful eye technique that can see through illusions and know others' Realms.

Of course, it is also possible to probe others' Realms with the help of some special Spiritual Artifacts.

Just now, Li Xuanfeng's aura was restrained, so it was impossible for Wei Qingyan to know his Realm.

Only the Sword Spirit, whose existence was special, possessed the power of Divine Sense and could perceive Li Xuanfeng's Realm.

"It seems that Senior Brother Li's bone structure isn't too bad after all!"

After the surprise, Wei Qingyan was rather happy, as she had a good impression of Li Xuanfeng.

"It's acceptable!"

"Reaching Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Stage Peak in three years, while good, isn't excellent. At least, he can't compare to you before your Physique Awakening!"

The Sword Spirit said indifferently.

"What puzzles me is why I didn't detect his cultivation reaching Spirit Aperture Realm Ninth Level before."

"He should have some means of hiding his cultivation, but to be able to hide it from me, could it be that I am too weak now?"

For the Sword Spirit.

Even if Li Xuanfeng's Realm reached Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Stage Peak, it was not at all surprising to her.

She was just curious why she hadn't noticed it before.

So after her initial surprise, she fell silent.

She finally concluded that her current state was unstable and too weak, so she hadn't observed carefully before and hadn't discovered Li Xuanfeng's true strength.

"His Comprehension Ability is good, and his bone structure doesn't seem to be unwatchable, but it's only a matter of time before you surpass him."

"Don't keep dwelling on that past favor. You need to know that when you become powerful to a certain extent, even a casual boost from you would be a great kindness, enough to repay the favor!"

"So hurry up and become stronger. Go to the Scripture Pavilion today to learn a Body Technique Martial Skill!"

"In the next few days, see if you can find a suitable task. I hope to find news of the Nine Star Sword Grass as soon as possible."

"With the help of this grass to Awaken the Supreme Sword Body, you will truly be considered to have leaped over the Dragon Gate!"

Although the Sword Spirit was weak.

She had already arranged Wei Qingyan's Cultivation direction.

Wei Qingyan only needed to follow her guidance to become stronger at the fastest speed!

"Okay!"

Wei Qingyan nodded and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"[Ding! Wei Qingyan studied Youlong Body Technique, basically understanding this Martial Skill. Tenfold return, you completely understand this Martial Skill!]"

Every time the System's notification sound rang, it brought Li Xuanfeng gains, and at the same time, brought him joy.
