#674 - Cangming Sect
After a night's rest, the next morning, after breakfast, Li Qian and his companions first went to the Beast Center of White Owl City.
They were looking for the same "handsome guy" as last time. The "handsome guy" showed a kind smile when he saw the three of them from afar.
"Three esteemed adventurers, I have good news for you. The mission regarding the 'Two-Headed Wyvern' has been confirmed by the issuer. The 'Two-Headed Wyvern' you captured has no problems, and the mission has been successfully submitted." As soon as the three of them approached, the "handsome guy" delivered the good news.
Although he had anticipated this, he was still happy to have it confirmed and completed.
Now, in addition to Federal currency, he had unexpectedly gained a sum of Federal contribution points.
"Thank you for helping us confirm this news." One should not hit a smiling face. Li Qian returned the "handsome guy's" kind gaze with equal courtesy.
After a few pleasantries, the "handsome guy" checked something and then continued, "Oh, right, there's also a package for you that arrived yesterday afternoon."
As he spoke, the "handsome guy" took out a silver suitcase from behind the counter. The fact that the silver suitcase was retrieved from the counter instead of being collected from the package hall showed that even the Beast Center attached great importance to this package.
Li Qian took the silver suitcase and, without wasting time, opened it right at the counter to inspect its contents.
Inside the silver suitcase, a crystal was quietly placed—a translucent, light cyan crystal, about the size of a fist.
Li Qian picked up the fist-sized light cyan crystal and examined it. In terms of appearance, it was no different from the legendary Xun Spirit Stone.
Of course, this couldn't determine if it was genuine. The appearance was easy to imitate. Li Qian abandoned his preconceived notions, closed his eyes, and began to sense it carefully.
At one point, his mental power spread out, touching a gray space. Within this space, he sensed surging energy tides.
'The crystal contains such turbulent energy, it must be the Xun Spirit Stone.' Thinking this, Li Qian nodded to the "handsome guy."
Immediately afterward, he didn't hesitate, picked up the silver suitcase, and turned to leave the Beast Center.
He still had many things to do next, and he didn't have time to waste here. After leaving the Beast Center, the three of them went straight back to the beach.
It was the same beach where they had landed yesterday, and the same steps. Using the bubbles created by the Tide Sea Spirit, they once again submerged into the sea, arriving at a place a hundred miles away.
Upon reaching the training location from a few days ago, Li Qian immediately summoned Seven, threw out the Xun Spirit Stone, and instructed, "Carry the Xun Spirit Stone with you."
Li Qian wasn't anxious and just watched. If he found that his mental power was overdrawn, feeling dizzy, he would stop to rest for a while, and then continue.
After training like this until nearly noon, the change Li Qian was expecting finally appeared. Under his [Eye of Truth], a light began to flicker on the skill bar information of Azure Scale Flood Dragon Seven.
Li Qian stared intently and discovered a line of faint information—[Mystic Art: Hurricane Whirlpool].
The skill finally appeared, and he was overjoyed, his energy greatly increased, and he continued to command Seven to train non-stop.
Seven was also constantly using skills, like a ruthless skill machine, throwing skills as if it didn't need energy.
Li Qian knew that Seven was in a peculiar state of "enlightenment." He didn't disturb it and just watched quietly.
Until one moment, a burst of light cyan light suddenly emerged from Seven's body. Upon seeing this, Li Qian's expression lit up with joy.
Finally, he had managed to train out the [Mystic Art: Hurricane Whirlpool] skill. Next, everything was ready except for the east wind, no, except for the hurricane.
Seeing that Seven had mastered this Mystic Art skill, Li Qian praised it a few times, and then embarked on the return journey.
Just as they returned, a figure suddenly leaped over from a distance on the beach, attracting his attention.
This person was none other than Wang Gang, whom he had met on the ship before. He came to Li Qian and said with some urgency, "Hello, Li Qian. I am a graduate student at White Owl Beast University. The situation with the invading hurricane 'Carina' has changed, and there may be unpredictable risks. So, our Principal Bai sent me to inform you, hoping you leave here as soon as possible."
Wang Gang's words were like a tide, suddenly stuffing a lot of information into Li Qian's mind.
Li Qian wasn't surprised that White Owl Beast University could track his whereabouts. After all, this was their territory. Of course, it was also because Li Qian and his companions hadn't deliberately avoided it. Each time they entered the water, they did so openly and without concealment.
Therefore, Li Qian wasn't surprised that someone from White Owl Beast University had suddenly approached him, but he was a little surprised that this person was Wang Gang.
Moreover, listening to his words, it seemed that their school's Principal Bai had personally issued the order, which showed that Wang Gang's status in White Owl Beast University was probably not simple.
"Unpredictable risks, I wonder what Senior Wang Gang is referring to?" Li Qian heard the implication in Wang Gang's words and immediately asked.
"This hurricane 'Carina' may not be simple; perhaps it's not a pure natural disaster." Wang Gang looked at Li Qian, gestured for him to follow, and continued after seeing the latter leave with him.
"What do you mean?" Li Qian's face showed even greater interest after hearing Wang Gang's words.
Wang Gang turned his head to look at Li Qian. He didn't answer immediately but suddenly mentioned a name, "Li Qian, have you heard of the organization called the Azure Abyss Sect?"
"Azure Abyss Sect?" Li Qian's brow furrowed upon hearing this. He subconsciously associated it with some bad things and asked, "Is it another cult organization?"
