Chapter 29: The Rabbit Demon Task

Over the next three days, the two of them cultivated together.

The cultivation speed was exactly as Bai He had expected, it’s extremely fast, especially with the addition of the pills he had brought over himself!

By the time the task deadline arrived, it would not be impossible for him to form a Golden Core.

"Is Little Elder Bai here?"

Hearing someone calling for him from outside, Bai He opened his eyes.

Both of them were deeply focused on cultivation, so he did not disturb them and instead went out.

The person who had arrived was a first generation disciple!

"Greetings, Little Elder Bai!"

"What is it? Why are you looking for me?"

This person was also a disciple of Yao Xiangli.

He was already quite old, at least twenty years older than Bai He and his talent was not particularly high, so it was easy to tell his true age at a glance.

For someone like this to address him as Little Elder Bai, and with such respect,

Bai He truly felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

"Master is looking for you. Master, along with the other elders, is waiting for you at Yaoxing Peak."

Bai He nodded. "Alright. You may return first. I’ll be there shortly."

"Yes."

Only then did Bai He remember that today was the Elders’ Assembly.

Although an elder like him who was neither here nor there didn’t really matter whether he attended or not,

Every time there was an Elders’ Assembly, they would still come to inform him.

Today was probably no exception.

The founding ancestor of Lingguang Sect had five disciples.

Sect Master Yao Xiangli, Second Senior Brother Dan Zhu, Third Elder Zhou Yifei, and Fourth Elder Gu He.

Among them, only the Third Elder was female.

Bai He lived on the eastern Baize Peak, the Second Elder lived on the western Xiezhi Peak, the Third Elder resided on the southern Nian Peak, and the Fourth Elder lived on the northern Luduan Peak.

As for the their senior Brother, he lived at Yaoxing Peak that was located at the very center of Lingguang Sect.

The first generation disciples were either elders or direct disciples under the Sect Master and the second and third generation disciples were not.

As for fourth generation disciples, they were all newly accepted disciples and were not allowed to enter the area around Yaoxing Peak.

They could only cultivate outside the sect.

When the time came for advancement, as long as they had sufficient strength, there would be no issue.

Of course, if their strength was lacking, then after two years, they would be expelled from Lingguang Sect.

Bai He quickly arrived at Yaoxing Peak.

Upon entering the main hall and seeing that everyone had already arrived, he felt a bit embarrassed.

He quickly found his seat and sat down.

He planned to wait until everyone finished discussing matters before leaving.

"Bai He."

Under normal circumstances, Yao Xiangli would not call on him in situations like this.

Even if Bai He was distracted, Yao Xiangli would pretend not to notice.

But this time, he deliberately called out his name.

Bai He was startled and hurriedly stood up. "Yes, Senior Brother."

"What did you go to the Elixir Hall for earlier? Did you go to the third floor and take a large number of pills?"

If he had taken one or two pills, perhaps Yao Xiangli would not have said anything. But... Bai He had taken so many all at once.

Why would he need that many pills for no apparent reason?

Generally speaking, one pill or at most a few would have been sufficient.

"Senior Brother, I just took them to keep on me, in case of emergencies."

"You stay at Baize Peak all day long. Do you really need to prepare for emergencies? What exactly did you take those pills for?"

Zhou Yifei also spoke up, "Bai He, it’s not that Senior Brother is being stingy. It’s just that you don’t understand these things at all. If you take pills recklessly, it could cost you your life. If you need any kind of pill, you should tell us in advance so we can help you evaluate them. That way, we can prevent accidents."

Zhou Yifei was speaking out of good intentions.

Bai He understood this clearly in his heart.

Moreover, by the time she said this, it was already too late, he had already encountered problems from taking pills before.

However, now, those problems had already been resolved.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, I understand! I won’t dare do it again next time..."

What else could he do? Being submissive was the only option.

"You’ve been far too lax and carefree lately, so tomorrow, you will go out on a task."

Bai He suddenly raised his head.

He almost could not believe his ears and stared at Yao Xiangli in confusion.

"Senior Brother... where am I going?"

"Demon hunting. You’re already fifteen years old, yet you haven’t hunted a single demon."

Dan Zhu who was standing nearby, could not help but speak up, "Senior Brother, wouldn’t this be a bit too difficult for Junior Brother? With Junior Brother’s cultivation level, hunting demons might be rather challenging."

On the other side, Fourth Elder Gu He said, "Second Senior Brother don’t need to worry. Senior Brother has naturally taken Junior Brother’s strength into consideration. This time, he’s only arranged for him to hunt a rabbit demon that hasn’t even reached three hundred years of cultivation."

A three hundred year old rabbit demon and one with nothing more than an ordinary bloodline was not considered difficult even for an average first generation disciple.

What’s more, Bai He was an elder.

Therefore, Yao Xiangli absolutely did not mean to target Bai He.

"Senior Brother... is it absolutely necessary for me to go?"

"Yes."

"Alright then. However, Senior Brother, please agree to let me bring my disciple along, as well as Ye Shiyuan."

They still did not know that Ye Shiyuan had already broken through.
