The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1070 - 572: Like an Accident

...

Yan Xiaobao's heart twitched. After analyzing the issue, he concluded that Qian Dajin's simplest approach would be to place a friend within the mission group. Then, once they all leave the sect, that friend could secretly strike against him.

At this moment, he found both Du Lingfei and this young man suspicious. However, he acted very relaxed, even smiling warmly at the young man.

"Yan Xiaobao is at your service," he said. "Brother, you are...?"

The young man smiled and replied: "Feng Yan from Green Peak."

Yan Xiaobao quickly clasped his hands tightly. "Oh, Brother Feng, I should have known it was you. At first glance, you are clearly an extraordinary individual. This is my first mission outside the sect, so I really hope you can show me how it's done, Brother Feng." Yan Xiaobao took only a moment to assess Feng Yan's cultivation base, which was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation.

"No problem. You're flattering me." A trace of disdain flashed in Feng Yan's eyes. He agreed to accept the mission solely because Inner Party Disciple Qian Dajin had promised him the profits of secretly assassinating Yan Xiaobao.

As far as he was concerned, this wasn't difficult. All he had to do was be careful and make it look accidental; Yan Xiaobao might as well be already dead.

The only thing he needed to watch out for was ensuring Du Lingfei didn't see him. Of course, because of Qian Dajin's involvement, he mostly trusted that Du Lingfei had taken the mission for his sake.

As for Du Lingfei, she was currently frowning. She never expected that accepting a mission outside the sect would trap her with someone she despised the most. After all, no one forced her to take this mission; she chose it herself. Though there could be some danger involved, it was a relatively simple mission and would grant reward points.

She had been stuck at the fifth level of Qi Condensation for quite some time and needed some Cloudsoaring Incense to break through, which certainly required points. When she thought about Cloudsoaring Incense, her disdain for Yan Xiaobao intensified.

"Lily mouse!" she thought, glaring at Yan Xiaobao with disgust. She especially despised the spherical appearance of all his clothes and the black iron pot, which made him seem even more afraid of death than ever before.

Coldly snorting, she completely ignored Yan Xiaobao, turned to Feng Yan, and clasped her fists.

"Brother Feng, now that we're all here, please deploy the wind vehicle. The sooner we finish this mission, the sooner we can return."

Feng Yan smiled slightly, then patted his satchel, causing a beam of white light to fly out. As the beam transformed into a small white boat about 6 meters long, a gust could be felt.

Waves of spiritual power emanated from the boat, creating an extraordinary pressure.

Yan Xiaobao took one look and immediately blurted out, "Mr. Feng, what is this?"

It was the first time he had seen such a thing. As the boat hovered in mid-air, it was clear it was some type of vehicle. Even as Du Lingfei's eyes flickered with disdain, Feng Yan laughed.

"This is a wind vehicle. When a task requires us to be a certain distance from the sect, we can rent ships from the sect to make things easier. We can save some of our own spiritual power at the cost of some spirit stones." Subsequently, he jumped up, then descended into the ship.

Du Lingfei hurriedly followed, as did Yan Xiaobao. The boat wasn't very large and was somewhat cramped, but still, there was enough space for the three of them. Yan Xiaobao sat at the back and began to study the ship more closely. The more he looked at it, the more he realized it truly was an incredible item.

"Someday," he murmured, "I will buy one for myself."

Seeing Yan Xiaobao look like a complete country bumpkin, Du Lingfei couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Even if you sell yourself into slavery, you couldn't afford it!"

Yan Xiaobao looked at Du Lingfei, lifted her up in his gaze, and then nodded.

"True. But if I sell you, I could definitely afford it."

"You!" Du Lingfei's phoenix-like eyes widened, just as Feng Yan caused the windscreen to fly far off from a prism-like light beam.

As they flew by at the fastest speed, racing through the sky, a shield appeared around the hull, forming a wind-proof barrier. Although they could hear the wind hitting the shield, inside the ship it was very calm.

Meanwhile, back at Fragrant Cloud Peak, at the Journeyman Apothecary Hall, Teacher Xu, who was responsible for supervising the tests, was looking at the jade sliding plate and frowning slightly.

"The Judicial Hall circumvented Xiangyun Peak to force Yan Xiaobao to accept an external mission?" After further inspecting the jade sliding plate, his frown gradually faded. After studying the task details, he realized that despite the potential dangers, it wasn't life-threatening.

Then he thought about what Li Qinghou mentioned regarding Yan Xiaobao's personality. "If the kid is somewhat lazy, then some punishment isn't unnecessary."

Finally, he set the jade sliding plate aside and continued blending medicines.

Meanwhile, Qian Dajin stood outside the Immortal Cave of the Inner Sect, watching the ship fly off into the distance, a hint of a cold smile on his face.

"With Feng Yan's cultivation base, secretly killing Yan Xiaobao should be as easy as flipping a hand. Yan Xiaobao... you may have special skills with plants and vegetation, but unfortunately, you will never have the chance to do anything. You're already dead!" A sinister gleam appeared deep within Qian Dajin's eyes. He smiled, turned around, and walked back to his Immortal Cave.
