[Rewards: The pill recipe for a Pure Core Realm breakthrough pill]

Wang Ming read the quest description, and a surprised look flashed in his eyes. He knew that the appearance of secret realms was a very rare occurrence. These were independent dimensions created by top experts to leave their legacies, treasures, or sometimes naturally formed by the heavens. As he examined the tasks in the quest, he felt confident in completing the first three. However, the fourth task made him furrow his brow a bit.

"Core Realm, this might be a bit troublesome," Wang Ming mumbled under his breath. He wasn't afraid, but finding a beast or an expert of this realm was a rare occurrence. Even the sect master of the Sect was only a Golden Core Realm expert. Then he thought that he might find some powerful beasts within the realm or even encounter a Cultivator. The opening of the secret realm was sure to attract all kinds of hidden talents and formidable individuals. No one could resist the temptation of discovering treasures in a secret realm.

"Hmm, why is the reward a pill recipe? Couldn't I just buy it from the system later?" Wang Ming muttered in confusion. As if sensing his doubt, the system provided a reply:

[System Message: The host cannot buy any pills above the Golden Core Realm. The host has to concoct the pills by himself if he wants to advance in realms. If the host only focuses on buying pills from the system shop, then what is the point of having such heaven-defying alchemy techniques?]

Wang Ming was a bit stunned by the system's response, but he couldn't refute it, as it made perfect sense. Why had he purchased those techniques if he wasn't going to use them? He had even forgotten about the exchange function of the system during his time here. He could start selling pills to accumulate spiritual stones and use them to acquire Dual Cultivation points through the exchange system.

Wang Ming had a knack for concocting pills up to the True Core Realm. The proficiency of alchemists depended on the purity of their spiritual energy. Thanks to his Primordial physique, which efficiently transformed impure spiritual energy into pure spiritual energy, he excelled in this regard. The rank of an Alchemist also relied on the purity of their spiritual energy. Many Alchemists struggled to advance in ranks, even if their cultivation levels were high. That's why Alchemists often sought treasures to enhance the purity of their spiritual energy in their bodies.

"Let's go to the mission hall; maybe I can find a mission located in Ebonheart City," Wang Ming mumbled, knowing that as an Outer Court disciple, he couldn't leave the sect without taking on a mission. He stepped outside and found Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu in a lotus position, deep in their cultivation. When they sensed his presence and opened their eyes.

"Lingxi, Yu'er, I'm heading outside the sect. Would you like to come along?" Wang Ming asked with a warm smile.

"Hmm, why are you going outside all of a sudden? We haven't been at the sect for long," Bai Lingxi inquired, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.

"Well, there's a secret realm opening outside, and I want to go see if I can find any treasures," Wang Ming explained.

"A secret realm!" Shi Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"How did you know about that?" Bai Lingxi asked.

"Well, I have a way to detect it," Wang Ming replied, and Bai Lingxi chose not to pry into his secrets.

"So, are you guys coming with me?" Wang Ming asked, confident that some male disciples might attempt to make Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu their partners, but he wasn't concerned, as they were strong enough to handle beat the shit out of them who would try to force both of them

"Hmm, no, I think I'll stay and continue cultivating, " Bai Lingxi replied. She recognized that she was relying too much on Wang Ming and without Dual Cultivating with Wang Ming, it would take her a long time to reach the level she had achieved, and moreover she wanted to catch up with Shi Yu

"What about you, Shi Yu?" Bai Lingxi turned to the other woman.

"No, I'll stay with Sister Lingxi, and I also want to explore the sect a bit," Shi Yu replied with a smile and Wang Ming left towards the mission hall to look for a suitable mission for him near the secret Realm to perform 

Yu Yan, Tian Ying, and Deng Yan, after leaving Wang Ming's place, headed toward their respective residences to retrieve their disciple tokens, which they hadn't carried with them previously. They were now making their way to the treasure hall, where the sect's resources for cultivation, treasures, and various items were kept. Currently, they were heading to the place for selling items in exchange for contribution points.

"Hey, do you guys have enough points to pay Disciple Wang Ming? I had to sell some precious herbs I kept for cultivation," Yu Yan inquired.

"Same here, I didn't have enough, so I had to part with a life-saving treasure. I hope I can get enough points to cover the payment for Disciple Wang Ming, or else I'd have to bring more items to sell at the treasure hall," Deng Yan explained.

"I had to steal some treasures from my partner since I don't have anything precious on me at the moment," Tian Ying admitted with a mischievous smile. The other girls also chuckled, thinking of doing something similar if they were short on points.

After arriving at the counter, they were surprised to see the person in front of them.

"Elder Feng Chang!" all three of them exclaimed.
