Chapter 579: Taking on a Mission

n-law's belly, and let out a sigh of relief as she said:"This child loves you, his position has already turned, once the cervix is dilated, he'll be able to give birth."After hearing her own mother's...When Mu Xi Nian had a doubt, he would become distracted and observe his master.

But after being found out by ripples, he was made to clean the toilets for a week on the grounds that his cultivation was careless. From then on, Musiyear dared not secretly observe ripples again.

Time flies, four years have passed in a blink of an eye, Musi Nian has been admitted to university and is a student in the History Department of Wan'an Normal University.

Before the start of school, there were still two and a half months of vacation, just enough time for Ripples to prepare for a round of practical operations for Mu Xinyuan.

Musiyear because he retained memories from his past life, it was like starting over again, so his progress was very fast.

Lian Yi praised Musi Nian for his intelligence, and then began to accelerate the pace of teaching. After all, he knew that these revisions were just a drop in the bucket for Musi Nian who was back on track.

As expected, Mu Xiannian's acceptance was good; one taught quickly and the other learned quickly.

Theory is finished, now it’s time for practice. Before Mu Xi Nian had to attend classes, so he only went to Longhushan on weekends and holidays, mainly receiving martial arts instruction from Lian Yi.

Besides enhancing his combat abilities, ripples also taught Mu Xi Nian the skills of painting talismans, setting up arrays, and catching and exorcising ghosts.

When Lian Yi took on a job, she would also bring Mu Xian along, giving him the opportunity to observe and learn, allowing him to enter his role in advance.

Now that she had a whole block of time, Ripple let Musien choose her own tasks, picking ones within her capabilities and trying to handle them herself. When she encountered problems, she could always ask her master for help.

Mu Xi Nian, following Lian Ri's request, took on a few small tasks and then went down the mountain.

Deng Zhǎngmén, holding the miniature formation disk sent by Liàn Yī, was counting them while teasingly saying:

"Junior sister, Mu Xinyan's this kid is ambitious. You, as his master, are also relaxed. It seems that it won't be long before he can leave the sect."

"He's quick-witted and learns things fast. I've accelerated the pace of his instruction, after all, Longhu Mountain doesn't keep idle people around. He should be contributing to the sect by now."

"Isn't it a bit too early"

The headmaster is a little worried.

It's getting late, he's already an adult.

Ripple smiled and said.

"That's just perfect, I have a mission here that you might be interested in. I thought you would be taking Xinyan out alone before, so I didn't take the mission. Since you're free, you can take a trip."

"What task"

An unknown object appeared on the border line, attacking people and then disappearing without a trace.

Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem and sent back the message, hoping to get help from the Taoist priest.

Grandmaster Deng briefly explained the mission details.

"It sounds interesting, Master. Please continue while I go take a look at the border."

Ripple didn't hesitate to take on the mission.

After all, for the task of cultivating her disciples, she had basically completed it. What remained was the master leading them to the door, and practice depended on the individual. Moreover, Mu Xiannian was a diligent cultivator, so she didn't have to worry about him anymore.

During this time, she had to fulfill her duties as a celestial master and at least accumulate some merit for herself.

Okay, I'll take over the task.

Deng, the headmaster, said with a hearty laugh.

On the other hand, Mushi also went to complete his assigned task.

When accepting missions at Longhushan, he was assigned tasks according to his rank as a low-ranking celestial master, and would not be given tasks that were too difficult.

The first thing was to set up a feng shui arrangement. This was very simple; he walked around the house, adjusted the placement of some items and that was it.

In the slightly distrustful gaze of his host, Muxi Nian stated that if the newly placed feng shui formation did not work, he could be complained about.

The couple then withdrew their overly obvious gaze, indicating that they would provide feedback in three days.

The second task was in a village that was somewhat remote. Because of information isolation, some old ideas persisted there.

A young couple, after their marriage, had no children. In order to have a child to care for them in their old age, they spent all their savings and bought a four-year-old boy from a human trafficker.

At the beginning, both couples and their children got along well. Sadly, this good time didn't last long. In the second year the boy joined the small family, the female host finally became pregnant.

And the babies they were carrying were twins, a boy and a girl. After the twins were born, the bought child would be completely out of place in the family, becoming like a servant.

The boy is often beaten and scolded even though he doesn't eat enough. The fourteen-year-old child looks like a ten-year-old, malnourished. In contrast, the couple's other children are tall and strong.

The boy never understood why his parents, who had always doted on him, were now treating him this way.

But he was young, and not allowed to read. He always lived in ignorance, only knowing how to do his work well and take care of his younger siblings.

That's how this child ended up, ultimately being pushed by his two taller and stronger siblings. He hit his head and bled profusely. In the end, he died quietly without a sound as his parents chose not to seek treatment for him.

Even after death, the couple still felt unlucky. They just found a random spot to bury the person.

After that, strange things began to happen at home. First, the twins said a boy came to find them, and then both children had nightmares all night long. Because they didn't sleep well, their attention span was poor. One broke his neck, and the other broke his spine.

It took the death of one child and the injury of another for the couple to realize something was wrong. By the time they wanted to seek help, they found that they couldn't leave their own house at all.

Two people were trapped in their own house for a month, having consumed all the food they could find. When they were about to starve to death, a neighbor who noticed something was wrong found them and broke open their gate.

That's when they realized the couple was lying on the ground, seemingly trying to crawl out of the yard. Unfortunately, they had already passed out from hunger.

Although the couple was saved, their children were one dead and one injured. They themselves were emaciated and greatly weakened.

An elder with foresight in the village said that it was the abused child who had come to seek revenge on them, urging them to quickly find a master to send the child away, otherwise they would surely meet a terrible end.

Then, strange things began to spread through the village like a plague. Every household that had previously bullied the boy suffered misfortune, but those who had secretly helped him and given him food and drink remained unharmed.

Even those families who had not been affected by the chaos did not want the village to continue in disarray, so they asked the returning students to find a Taoist priest to help them get rid of the boy.

But three days later, someone escaped from the village and cried for help, saying that now their entire village was impassable, and people inside couldn't get out. Something must have happened.

At this moment, Mu Xian stood outside the village. Others couldn't see it, but his yin-yang eyes could clearly see that the entire village was surrounded by a heavy layer of resentment.

The villagers, affected by the resentment, were unable to leave their courtyards. Their supplies were almost depleted, and they could only pray incessantly. Sadly, besides themselves, no one else could hear them.r genes have been damaged and have fallen to an ordinary level."So, to prove your test results, you used advanced gene-enhancement fluid to boost my aptitude as an excuse, eliminating the toxins in my...
