"Primordial Pill Stage, I must reach this height! I must learn the most basic Sword Control Flying Technique of true Immortality Cultivators!"

Standing atop Liu Yu's flying sword, Qin Tian looked down from the sky, secretly making up his mind.

After five hours of sword flight, Zhao Hanshuang and Cao Lin landed in a forest.

The trees in this forest towered into the sky, immense and terrifying, even bigger than the ones Qin Tian had seen in the Amazon Rainforest.

"We are only about ten miles away from the Blood Refining Hall's Nanshan branch. To avoid alerting them, this is the best place to stop,"

Liu Yu said to Qin Tian, both hands sinking slightly, and then they followed Zhao Hanshuang's lead by landing directly.

In the forest, the four stood side by side, with Zhao Hanshuang at the front, gazing into the distance, "We'll stay here until nightfall. Then, Liu and I will go to the Blood Refining Hall branch to investigate. We aim to strike tomorrow with speed, no need to drag it out until the one-month mission deadline."

At night, the wind howled. After a simple dinner, Zhao Hanshuang and Liu Yu headed towards Nanshan, ten miles away.

Qin Tian and Cao Lin stayed in their camp, waiting for news.

After Zhao Hanshuang and Liu Yu left, Cao Lin stared sinisterly at Qin Tian, sneering.

He merely sneered without speaking, the sound echoing, his face still full of malice.

Qin Tian rolled his eyes at him, "What are you laughing about? Did your madness act up?"

Cao Lin rubbed his nose, "Qin Tian, if I were to kill you while no one's around, what would Zhao and the others think when they return?"

"They wouldn't think much, because you can't kill me," Qin Tian replied.

"Is that so?"

Cao Lin's eyes were like torches, staring at Qin Tian, "Kid, you're too arrogant! Killing you is as easy as turning my hand. Just wait; I'll settle our score for the Right Pulse with you!"

"I'll be waiting,"

Qin Tian retorted, casting a glance at Cao Lin before ignoring him.

About two hours later, Zhao Hanshuang and Liu Yu returned from afar.

"How did it go, Sister Zhao?" Cao Lin asked Zhao Hanshuang.

Zhao Hanshuang scoffed, "Hmph, how else? I've scouted their headquarters; everyone's inside. We'll sneak in at midnight and wipe them out."

After speaking, Zhao Hanshuang thought of something and warned sternly, "Let me warn you first, the Blood Refining Hall's Nanshan branch leader is named Cao Gang. This person is already at the Primordial Pill Early Stage; none of you are his match, so leave him to me and do not interfere."

Zhao Hanshuang's tone was not of discussion but of command.

Qin Tian noted her uncompromising gaze and thought, is this woman really that arrogant? Why does she insist on facing Cao Gang alone? Could it be... Cao Gang has some Cultivation Immortality resources she wants?

Qin Tian recalled Liu Yu's words: that dealing with the Blood Refining Hall gave them a chance to seize the Cultivation Immortality resources from its members.

Members of the Blood Refining Hall were also Immortality Cultivators, but their cultivation methods were sinister, using blood-sucking and murder. Regardless of their ways, they certainly had some Cultivation Immortality resources to advance their cultivation.

"Liu Yu, you handle another Blood Refining Hall man at the Primordial Pill Early Stage,"

"Yes, Sister Zhao."

"Cao Lin, those Qi Refining Peak henchmen of the Blood Refining Hall aren't strong; they're yours to handle. If you can't manage, I'll help you after I deal with Cao Gang."

"Understood, Sister Zhao."

"And you... don't think you can earn rewards without lifting a finger. Can you handle the remaining ten or so Qi Refining Middle Stage and Late Stage henchmen of the Blood Refining Hall? If you can't and get killed, you have it coming!"

Zhao Hanshuang seemed to naturally have a bias against Qin Tian, targeting him with her words.

Qin Tian shrugged, "Don't worry, you pay me to handle the trouble. My life isn't your concern."

"Hmph, you'd better be killed by the Blood Refining Hall!"

Zhao Hanshuang didn't spare Qin Tian a glance, while both Liu Yu and Cao Lin treated her with utmost respect. Yet, this slave disciple dared use a mocking tone with her, making her quite unhappy.

Ever since she learned Qin Tian was a slave disciple, Zhao Hanshuang felt he disgraced the Qilin Mountain Sect and had said he shouldn't stay there.

Now, she thought it was a good opportunity, hoping the Blood Refining Hall would kill Qin Tian.

After dividing tasks, the four rested for a while. As dusk approached, they stealthily moved towards the Nanshan branch's Blood Refining Hall base.

The Nanshan branch of the Blood Refining Hall was deep in the mountains, not too hidden, residing in a sprawling complex like a luxurious courtyard.

Behind the courtyard was a towering mountain and dense forest. Aside from a few torches illuminating within the courtyard, the surroundings were pitch-dark.

"They're asleep. Let's sneak in and get to work. Cao Lin, take care of those two guards."

In the shrubs at the front of the courtyard, Zhao Hanshuang saw two drowsy guards of the Blood Refining Hall and immediately instructed Cao Lin to act.

Cao Lin pulled out two poisoned daggers, channeled his Qi, and dashed like the wind, silently killing both guards!

"Let's go!"

Zhao Hanshuang whispered softly and led the way.

Liu Yu was about to follow when Qin Tian held him back, "Senior Brother Liu, I feel the Blood Refining Hall must know we're here, be cautious."

"Haha, how do you know? If the Blood Refining Hall knew we were coming, why would they leave guards for us to kill? You're overthinking," Liu Yu dismissed the idea, considering that both he and Zhao Hanshuang were Primordial Pill Early Stage experts, and they hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Qin Tian's Qi Refining Late Stage meant his Sensing Power naturally couldn't match any of the three.

"I'm serious..."

"Junior Brother Qin, don't overthink; paranoia doesn't help. Even if they know we're here, it doesn't matter. Before coming, I estimated their combat power, and Sister Zhao and I should easily wipe them out essentially. No worries, let's go."

Liu Yu saw Qin Tian scanning around and patted his shoulder before attempting to advance into the courtyard.

Finally, Qin Tian stopped him, "Senior Brother Liu, whether the Blood Refining Hall discovered us or not, be wary of ambushes, especially hidden weapons and poison..."

"Thanks for the reminder, but I've executed missions three hundred days a year; these basics, I'm aware of."

Liu Yu gave Qin Tian a faint smile and dismissed his concern, heading into the courtyard.
