Ancient Origin Sect, Task Hall.
"Elder, I have completed the mission of the Imperial City disappearance case."
Lin Fei arrived at the Task Hall, ready to hand over the mission.
The elder of the Task Hall opened his eyes. A glint flashed in his eyes.
"We have already received the details of the situation. You did well on this mission, and the Imperial Family has highly praised you. However, do you know the identity of that top Foundation Establishment True Person?"
Looking at the gaze of the elder of the Task Hall, Lin Fei's eyes slightly narrowed. He began to contemplate.
In fact, Lin Fei had thought a lot. After seeing that top Foundation Establishment True Person, Lin Fei knew that person was definitely not an unknown individual. He must be a Foundation Establishment True Person from some major sect. Otherwise, for a typical independent cultivator, it's already a fluke to successfully establish the foundation. Let alone reach the point where one can overcome the tribulation.
That's impossible! He must be a Foundation Establishment True Person from one of the major sects of the immortal gate. His identity was probably extraordinary.
But Lin Fei killed him anyway! Even without hesitation. He was a Foundation Establishment True Person from a major sect of the immortal gate. So was he, an outer sect elder of the Ancient Origin Sect, a decoration?
Lin Fei directly responded, "Is the identity important? He was in the Imperial City of Tianqi Country, capturing Martial Saints to make zombies. No matter who he is, this is something that the Ancient Origin Sect does not allow. I killed him to uphold the dignity of the Ancient Origin Sect!"
Lin Fei's words made the elder reveal a hint of a smile.
"Well said, no matter who it is, if they commit a crime in the Tianqi Country, they are challenging the authority of the Ancient Origin Sect! Of course he should be killed! That Foundation Establishment True Person was from the Profound Light Cave Heaven, a sect no less prestigious than our Ancient Origin Sect.
His name‘s Xuan Yun, one of the top Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Profound Light Cave Heaven. He was nearing the end of his lifespan and was preparing to draw down the heavenly tribulation in an attempt to achieve the Golden Core. But in fact, his chance of success was minuscule. Otherwise, he would have overcome the tribulation long ago, why wait until now?
And what's more, in order to overcome the tribulation, he even used a forbidden method, secretly capturing Martial Saints in the territory of our Ancient Origin Sect to make zombies. He intended to set up the Nine Yin Zombie Array. Hmph, he didn't even think about it. Even if he really set up the Nine Yin Zombie Array, how could he truly overcome the heavenly tribulation? It was nothing more than wishful thinking.
You killed him, the Profound Light Cave Heaven has nothing to say. Moreover, this time, you also upheld the dignity of the Ancient Origin Sect. Therefore, in addition to the 10,000 contribution points from the imperial family's mission reward, the sect will reward you with an additional 10,000 contribution points. That's a total of 20,000 contribution points."

Lin Fei's eyes brightened.
"20,000 contribution points?"
Lin Fei was a bit surprised. The imperial family gave 10,000 contribution points. The other 10,000 contribution points were rewards given to Lin Fei by the sect. It's said that it was a reward for Lin Fei for upholding the dignity of the sect. But, the dignity of the Ancient Origin Sect, did it really need him, an outer sect elder, to uphold?
That Xuan Yun, even in the Imperial City of Tianqi Country, was always cautious, not daring to be discovered by the Ancient Origin Sect. Where would he dare to challenge the dignity of the Ancient Origin Sect?
For a moment, Lin Fei thought of a possibility. Among the inner disciples or true disciples of the Ancient Origin Sect, there had always been a rumor circulating.
The Task Hall elder said to his colleague, "We have to admit, the boy does have potential."
His colleague responded, "Indeed. With the way he handled the mission and his performance in the sect, it's clear that he has a high chance of reaching the peak of Martial Saints."
The first elder chuckled, "Well, seems that our Ancient Origin Sect will have another promising disciple in the future."
His colleague nodded and said, "Yes, let's see how far he can go."
The elders watched as Lin Fei's figure disappeared from the Task Hall. Meanwhile, Lin Fei was feeling very happy with his reward. He realized that the Ancient Origin Sect had a very unique way of cultivating their disciples. They took care of their disciples in subtle ways without making it obvious, thus maintaining fairness within the sect.
The Ancient Origin Sect didn't directly give resources or favor to disciples with potential, instead, they utilized their system of missions and rewards to provide extra help. This method not only encouraged the disciples to work harder but also helped to increase their sense of belonging to the sect. This was an important reason why the Ancient Origin Sect could continue to prosper. The sect knew the heart of people well and applied it to their management method.
As for whether Lin Fei could reach the level of the peak Martial Saint, that would depend on his future performance. But for now, Lin Fei had already proven his worth and potential to the sect. As he walked away from the Task Hall, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for his future in the Ancient Origin Sect.
As soon as the Essence Enhancement Pill entered Lin Fei's body, it began to dissolve, releasing a large amount of pure and rich energy. Lin Fei instantly mobilized his cultivation method to absorb and refine these energies.
In his Dantian, the Spiritual Sea began to ripple and churn as the Spiritual Qi from the Essence Enhancement Pill was poured into it. The Spiritual Qi was refined and converted into martial energy, which began to circulate around his body, strengthening his meridians and nourishing his body.
Lin Fei could feel his cultivation level rising steadily. The barrier to the middle stage of Martial Saint seemed to be getting thinner and thinner.
With his concentration completely immersed in cultivation, Lin Fei lost all sense of time. He continued to consume Essence Enhancement Pills one after another, absorbing the released Spiritual Qi to increase his cultivation level.
Finally, after an unknown period of time, a powerful energy explosion occurred within Lin Fei's body. The barrier to the middle stage of Martial Saint was broken through, and his cultivation level successfully reached the middle stage of Martial Saint.
But Lin Fei didn't stop there. He continued to take the Essence Enhancement Pills, aiming to reach the late stage of Martial Saint. As he continued his cultivation, the Spiritual Qi within his body became denser and denser, and his cultivation level continued to rise steadily.
With the help of the Essence Enhancement Pills, Lin Fei could clearly feel his strength growing at a terrifying speed. The desire for strength in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
"I will not stop until I reach the perfection stage of Martial Saint and form my Qi Flower!" Lin Fei declared to himself, his determination unwavering. With this goal in mind, he continued to consume the Essence Enhancement Pills, immersing himself in his cultivation journey.
