284 Delivery Mission (2/2)

Elder Smelter knew that he had said something wrong and did not want to reveal more.

”Alright, where do you intend to stay next?”

Elder Smelter changed the topic and asked Fang Yuan.

”I have been cultivation in seclusion. For now, I want to explore Da Qian and visit the capital!”

Fang Yuan spoke the truth but hid his intentions. This was a small trick that he used. After all, he was speaking before a high-tiered dream master who would be sensitive in detecting his tone and emotions.

But now, Elder Smelter could not detect anything fishy. ”I need to return. After killing the evil water dragon in Sand Region, I have obtained 3 drops of 'Mysterious Elemental Heavy Water' and I can use them to perform alchemy. Since you have the intention to explore the place, help me with something!”

”Please instruct me. I'll do anything!”

Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and replied.

”Help me deliver an item to the Middle Region since the capital is in the Middle Region as well...”

Elder Smelter took out a small red sword. ”Take this sword and bring it to Tianmu Mountain in Middle Region. Ask to see the owner of the mountain and pass this sword to the owner... Don't worry, you won't be doing this for nothing. I will officially assign you this mission in the Dream Realm!”

This mission was assignment-typed and the rewards were not good, but it would count a lot towards his contribution to the Realm Alliance.

”I will do it!”

Fang Yuan took the sword over form Elder Smelter. The red sword which was previously glowing died down in its brilliance as soon as it entered Fang Yuan's hand; it was like a normal sword now.

”Alright, be on your way!”

Elder Smelter waved his sleeves and immediately, Fang Yuan could feel a huge force pushing against him; it was akin to a small boat being pushed by a tsunami. As soon as he realised what had happened, he was already on a small hill on the outskirts of a county town.

”This is the power of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master!”

Looking at the busy and prosperous county town, Fang Yuan sighed. Without wasting time, he quickly disappeared into the forest.

...

”The journey to Middle Region is long and therefore, I need to make some plans...”

Fang Yuan was neutral about the mission.

He was only a newbie among the dream masters and would not suspect that Elder Smelter would try to harm him by assigning him this mission.

Of course, he had to be wary of the small sword and had to seal its energy up. This was not guarding against Elder Smelter but rather, it was merely being careful.

After finding a secluded spot, he entered the Dream Realm and indeed, on his inscription plate, there was a new ongoing mission. It was assigned by Elder Smelter and after browsing through the details, he could only accept it.

'Generally speaking, this was among the unspoken rules which were already not considered strict. After all, I am a new member and it is only logical for him to test me out...'

Fang Yuan came to the headquarters of the Realm Alliance and started to browse the information on the rock tablet.

As a 2nd Leaf Cultivator, he had certain rights and could access parts of the information bank. Pieces of information from the information bank were either mostly not found on the rock tablet in the Dream Realm, or they were classified. After all, it was not a bad thing to read up more.

Of course, the missions on the rock tablet in the Dream Realm were more generic and it was the place where the 5 powerful organisations would interact.

”I am clear about the cultivation of a dream soldier master and am looking forward to the next dream-traversing opportunity... As for that mysterious force in my body, I need to clear it out as soon as possible before I reach the 4th sword, otherwise, things would get tricky!”

There was a look of depression on Fang Yuan's face.

When he achieved a breakthrough previously in the Three World Mountain, he had the help of the mysterious but evil force.

Although it was not affecting him now, it would be troublesome if he were to lose control over the mysterious force in the future!

”The 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine is a big leap. Among us dream soldier masters, it would mean that we can form the spirit of the swords. This is especially so for the 8 Gates Sword Array. After forming the spirits of the 4 swords, I would be able to harness at least half the potential of the 8 Gate Sword Array... Therefore, I must quickly get rid of the evil force in me!”

Once the magical soldiers get their spirituality, their power would increase by folds and they could potentially fly on their own to attack enemies. This would be similar to the Fiery Dragon Child of Elder Smelter.

The mysterious force might affect the spirit of the sword, making it an evil spirit. If that becomes the case, Fang Yuan would become the slave to his swords.

”Tian Xiezi... Why are you still causing trouble a few hundred years after your death?”

Fang Yuan gave a cold look as he continued to browse the information on the rock tablet.

It was extremely rare to encounter any technique which would dispel evil forces in one's body. Most of them would cheat him of his money and those who potentially could help were charging more than he could afford.

Finally, something was different.

”9 Smelting Technique (Incomplete): Able to purify and remove foreign true energies from one's body. The setback would be that one's cultivation would drop, and the drop is dependent on how polluted one's body is...”

”Only an incomplete version? Furthermore, it can only purify true energy? What about elemental force and dream elemental force?”

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.

As a 2nd Leaf Cultivator, he could only read up to here. However, from the description, he had the feeling that there was more to it.

If he could get his hands on the complete version, he might be able to purify his true energy, true elemental force and even dream elemental force.

”This is a solution indeed. Of course, the root of the problem is still from Evil Divine Sect!”

Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.
