Cultivation Mission System - Chapter 8

Old man Mo looked at Mo Feng like he saw an alien.

Mo Feng felt uneasy with this look he is giving and spoke weakly “I’m really speaking the truth Grandfather. There was an old man who cured me.”

“Hmmm! Hmmm! So what is with the crazy act you are pulling by killing those livestock?” Old man Mo clearly didn’t believe Mo Feng and he didn’t ask further about it. Everyone has their secrets after all.

Mo Feng also realised his grandfather didn’t believe in him and cursed in his heart ‘Damn it! It always worked in those Wuxiaworlds. Why the hell isn’t this reason working now?’

Mo Feng soon calmed down and spoke “I realised there are spies of other families here and I don’t want them to realise my dantain has recovered. And I also wanted to practice my knife skills at the same time. So I used it as a camouflage to make them think I’m crazy while practicing.”

He paused and continued “I have already reached small accomplishment in my basic knife techniques grandfather.”

From his memories, skills are categorised into 4, unlike in the system which is differentiated in levels. Skills are categorised as small accomplishment, mid accomplishment, great accomplishment, and finally perfection.

And once he achieved level 3 in Basic knife techniques, he reached small accomplishment which made him realise each skills should be separated into 12 levels.

Old man Mo looked deep in thought and asked slowly “Show me your knife skills.”

Once he saw Mo Feng displaying skills, Old man Mo started laughing heartily “Good!Good!Good! Heaven didn’t abandon my Mo Family. Even though my grandson suffered, he became much stronger.”

Looking at the old man who is happy, Mo Feng also felt happy.

Soon, he calmed down and asked “What is your current cultivation level?”

“I’m already at Qi cleansing 7th stage grandfather. After my dantian recovered, I feel it is much easier to cultivate than before.” He didn’t say it was not because of old man in the dream because he was sure his grandfather won’t believe him.

Hearing it, Old man Mo was very happy but then he went into deep thinking. After a while he spoke “I didn’t want to talk to you about this first, but seeing you have recovered and already started cultivating, I want to know your thought on a matter.”

“Few hours ago I got news delivered from the envoy of the capital that the competition will be preponed from one month to 7 days. I am having a doubt that Lin family is the reason for the competition to set in such an earlier time. What do you think we should do?”

Mo Feng understood why his grandfather asked him such a question. He took only one day to become Qi cleansing 7th stage, he wanted to know if he can compete and win Lin Huang in 7 days. If he can, it’s good for the Mo family, but if he can’t it is better for evacuating the city to move to some other city.

Even though Lin family is not as strong as Mo family, if they became the main family and the master of the family became city lord, they will have the support of the royal family of the Longfeng country. It will result in the complete annihilation of the Mo family.

Mo Feng also now understood the reason for the timeline for his next mission.

He smiled at his grandfather and spoke with confidence “I can definitely win the competition grandfather. You don’t have to worry about the Lin family.”

He suddenly thought of something and hesitated a little before speaking “Grandfather, I would like to go to the Red mountain to train for next 7 days. I believe that will help me improve faster.”

Old man Mo face changed slightly, but looking at the face of Mo Feng he was sure he couldn’t change the mind of his grandson.

He sighed and spoke “Alright brat, but you have to take some guards with you for safety.”

“No way. I want to go alone and train. If the news that I recovered leaked before the competition I’m sure they will try to assassinate me. So it is safer for me to go alone, but rest assured grandfather, I will be careful and only train in the outer edges of the Red mountain.”

Old man Mo kept silent for a few moments and finally agreed. Mo Feng happily thanked him and excused himself mentioning he needs to prepare for his training.

Looking at the back of leaving Mo Feng, Old man Mo sighed and thought ‘Is the reason behind his recovery her? Did she send someone to take care of her son? But why didn’t anyone come to meet me? Maybe they don’t want to implicate the Mo family. ‘

His face became sad and wondered ‘I don’t know how my son and daughter in law are faring there?’

His face became stern again after few moments “Take a team, and follow him, but keep a distance of few kms just by following his aura. Don’t disturb him and let him train and don’t interrupt unless he is about to die.”

“Yes master!” came the sound of the shadow and it went silent again.

“Don’t worry Feng’er. I let you suffer once and I won’t let you suffer again.” Old man Mo promised to no one and went silent and closed his eyes.

Lin family, main hall

Lin Family Patriarch Lin Haushang is staring angrily at Lin Yun who is kneeling in front of him.

“Are you an Idiot? Didn’t I tell you not to provoke the Mo Family until the competition? Did you take my words as fart?”

Looking at the kneeling Lin Yun, who is not responding he got even more angry “Not only did you not listened to me and provoked the Young master of Mo family, you even lost 15,000 taels of gold in the Beast pit? Do you know how much 15,000 taels of gold is? It is one year earning of our family and just lost it to be used by our enemy.”

“Father, please don’t blame younger brother, blame that Mo Feng. He must have used some snister methods to make younger brother fall for his scheme.” Spoke an young man who was similar to Lin Yun but more mature.

The young man is Lin Yun’s Eldest Brother Lin Huang, who kidnapped Mo Feng.

Lin Huang is currently 19 years old and considered as one of the top geniuses of Red Mountain city, although not as good as Mo Feng. But that was before, but now he was considered a top genius in the cultivation level of Qi Acquired 3rd stage.

Looking at his eldest son, he calmed down a lot and spoke “Hmph, that cunning brat. Even though he became a cripple, he still gives trouble to our family. It seems we need to remove the Mo family as soon as we became the main family of the city or else there will be more trouble in the future.”

He turned towards Lin Huang and asked “How is it going?”

“Good father! I have become close to the envoy and if I perform well in the competition I can definitely go to the academy.” said Lin Huang proudly.

“Good! Good! Huang’er. Our Lin family will reach new heights in your hands.” nodded Lin Huashang with joy on his face.

Then his face became ferocious and said “Even though Mo Feng is crippled, it is better to kill him once we became the main family to avoid future trouble.”

At this time, the Lin Yun who saw his father mood is better spoke fast “Father, leave that small bastard to me. I will dispose of him when the time comes. I need to pay him back by killing him.”

“Well, I don’t mind, but you better stop messing around and train hard for the competition.”

Lin Yun became happy when Lin Huashang agreed and he sneered in his heart ‘Mo Feng, just you wait, you won’t be able to live long!’

In the Mo family courtyard, Mo Feng was sitting and thinking about the training in the Red mountain area. The monster beasts in the Red mountain are not like the livestock he killed these days, but they are ferocious, bloodthirsty and will kill on sight.

Not only there are basic-grade monster beasts in Red mountain, but also mid-grade and high-grade monster beasts. There was even rumours of there being monster beasts which are more powerful than high grade monster beasts.

Monster beasts, just like human beings, are divided into 10 layers for every grade. Basic-grade monster beasts are equivalent to Human race’s Qi cleansing martial artists, Mid-grade are equivalent to Qi acquiring stage martial artists, and High-grade monster beasts or equivalent to Innate Qi master monster beasts.

As for the Monster Beasts above high-grade, Mo Feng has no knowledge of them in his memories.

Once he clarified, he started the training for the night. He trained entire night and his Qi value and skills have improved significantly, and due to his increased Qi value, he was able to train more on [Godly elephant Prajna Scripture] and his proficiency was close to 100 now.

He stopped his training an hour before dawn, packed his things and left the mansion silently to avoid anyone knowing his whereabouts so that he won’t be assassinated again.

But things doesn’t always go the way we want.
