First Sect Mission

"Feng Shi, have you fully inherited Crimson Immortal's inheritance?" Qi Sen asked when Fang Xian appeared on the table.

"Yes." Fang Xian replied.

Qi Sen calmed the anger inside him after hearing those words, reminding himself that he was not a true member of the sect yet.

"Feng Shi, you shall embark upon your first sect mission, I will personally assign you this mission." Qi Sen commanded. "After completing this mission, you will be acknowledged as a true member of the sect, you will be an elder with rank five authority."

"Yes." Fang Xian replied, taking the scroll that he had been handed and disappearing from the table.

'This bastard!' Qi Sen growled angrily in his mind while keeping a calm and collected attitude on the outside with great effort.

Fang Xian had been transported to the foot of a nearby mountain. He read the scroll he had been given, understanding his mission.

The mission was to mine into the mountain, apparently there was an extremely rare material hidden inside.

A few seconds later, a mining path soul beast appeared in Fang Xian's soul land.

This mining path soul beast was called desolate stone mining soul beast, it was specifically created to mine desolate stone.

'The sect has started the immortal soul beast refinement earlier than my first life, is it the effect of my actions changing the timeline?' Fang Xian thought after seeing this soul beast.

In his first life, he had come to this exact mountain and had mined desolate stone for an immortal soul beast refinement, however, he did not remember this.

After all, in total he had lived for over ten thousand years, in his mind, that was an insignificant event that occurred over ten thousand years ago because in the end, they failed the refinement and the sect lost many precious materials and even the life of seven elders was taken, it was a great travesty.

This time, the timing was different, maybe they could succeed.

Fang Xian's plan naturally revolved around the failure of this refinement, after it, the whole sect was thrown into chaos, it was this chaos that Fang Xian wanted to use to his advantage.

'I need to somehow interfere and make this refinement fail. I have a myriad of refinement methods for my first life which can do this, only a few are applicable in this situation.' Fang Xian pondered. 'This desolate stone is a somewhat important material in this refinement, I can tamper with it using methods invented in the future.'

Fang Xian was a great refinement expert, he had gone through countless refinements across his many lives.

Fang Xian mined deep into the mountain and obtained the required amount of desolate stone, but he sat down deep in the mining zone and went into his soul land.

He was going to use this desolate stone to refine a new soul beast that wasn't invented yet, desolate stone interference soul beast.

At one point in Fang Xian's first life, desolate stone became the most sought after and important material after a certain soul beast was created by a refinement expert.

Many super sects had it, and super demonic sects who opposed the super and normal heavenly sects created this soul beast with the help of many refinement experts.

In the end, every piece of desolate stone was tampered with, that certain soul beast was never successfully refined.

Fang Xian wanted to finish the refinement as quickly as possible to not draw any unnecessary attention from the immortals and Qi Sen.

A few hours later, Fang Xian finished the mining path refinement with the refinement technique, 'aqueous refinement'.

Now, he had to mine more desolate stone and then tamper with it before handing it to Qi Sen.

He mined for three days and then used desolate stone interference, he estimated that the current rate of success was around three percent where it would have been forty percent without desolate stone interference.

'Three percent, it needs to have a hundred percent failure rate!' Fang Xian was dissatisfied, he used desolate stone until all of his soul qi was used, finally reaching a zero percent success rate.

He returned to the sect after a few weeks, handing the desolate stone straight to Qi Sen.

While Qi Sen wondered why he took so long, he thought that Fang Xian did not have any comprehension of mining path, that was a plausible conclusion.

"I, Qi Sen, the first immortal master and leader of Crimson Heavenly Sect, formally bestow the rank of esteemed elder upon Feng Shi, a rank four high-level cultivator." Qi Sen stated. "Furthermore, since we have obtained the necessary materials, we will begin the refinement of the rank two immortal soul beast, divine transportation. Feng Shi will lead this refinement and us immortals will provide assistance. One of the descriptions Crimson Immortal gave of this Feng Shi was that he was great refinement expert, let us see if he was correct!"

Fang Xian was slightly shocked but he understood a moment later. This was a lie conjured by Qi Sen to defame 'Feng Shi'.

In his opinion, too many people were talking about Feng Shi and his appearance, it was the main topic of the sect at the moment.

Qi Sen was an arrogant person, he wanted the source of all chatter in the sect to be about him, this was a matter of his person values.

'If the sect still had communication with Feng Clan, I wouldn't be able to be where I am now.' Fang Xian thought. 'I will fail this refinement undoubtedly, but I will put my all into it, the failure rate is a hundred percent now anyway, I cannot change that now, it is too late. I will bear the consequences of failure, I am prepared!'

Fang Xian affirmed his beliefs and steeled himself, beginning the refinement process.
