The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 617 Perfect mission

Shortly after breaking through to the second stage of the Astral Blood Realm, Long Qingyi departed from the cultivation chamber, having expended a total of two celestial spirit crystals across fourteen days of training.

For outer disciples avoiding missions entirely or those tackling them without venturing into deadly perils, cultivation rooms came at a steep price.

Thankfully, Qingyi possessed more than three hundred celestial spirit crystals, sufficient for years of isolated cultivation should he choose. Even though most of that period was squandered on passionate encounters with his wives, he felt no regret whatsoever.

He hurried along the myriad marble pathways intersecting the sect, reaching the mission pavilion swiftly.

He lingered there a short while, mesmerized by the ships descending and ascending, prior to stepping into the central hall.

Though he lacked funds for his own vessel, renting a basic ship for his inaugural solo mission remained an option.

"Need help with something, junior brother?" As he examined the missions on offer, an elegant woman with keen eyes came over.

She too was an outer disciple, standing at the peak of the Astral Blood Realm, and with scant passion for cultivation, she opted to serve as staff in the mission pavilion.

"No, senior sister. I'm just looking for a solo mission suitable for my level." Qingyi answered steadily, eyes fixed on the mission board.

A falsehood, naturally. He sought not a task matching his strength but one to push his boundaries.

"Oh... you're Long Qingyi, right? Your name has spread through the

sect pretty quickly!" Tilting her head, the woman offered a intrigued smile.

"I have a friend who's a disciple of an instructor, and she says Elder Shen can't stop bragging about having recruited you, especially after the... uh... drama in the main palace. Hahaha."

"Drama?" Qingyi slightly turned his head.

He was unaware of any uproar in the main palace. Could it involve him somehow?

"Well... never mind! I think I have a perfect mission for you." The

woman returned to the counter, retrieving a small scroll from a drawer.

"It's a mission that's been here for over two hundred years, intended for outer disciples. Even Tianhao couldn't complete it, despite his high-level perception and Qi manipulation."

Qingyi accepted the scroll and perused it meticulously.

Though not precisely the mission he hunted, he grasped why she deemed it ideal for him.

It hinged primarily on perception. One needed to infiltrate and claim an untouched isolated secret realm, capped at Astral Blood Realm cultivation.

With Qingyi in the Astral Blood Realm and his record of conquering the Moonlight Realm in a mere five minutes—the fastest in sect history—he appeared the prime candidate.

"Just retrieve the elixir inside the secret realm. Any other fortune found inside is entirely yours!"

"I see, but..." Qingyi furrowed his brow, rubbing his chin. "Why is the reward so great?"

A solo mission demanding low cultivation yet offering over a thousand celestial spirit crystals seemed suspiciously lucrative. "Well... I don't know, since the mission was posted long before I was

even born." The woman shrugged. "But apparently, as the decades passed, whoever posted it grew impatient and kept raising the reward amount higher and higher.

The last increase was five years ago, a year before I joined the sect. At the time, it doubled from five hundred celestial spirit crystals to a

thousand."

"Hm... that elixir must be very important to that person," Qingyi murmured thoughtfully.

The woman stayed silent.

She knew nothing of that client, thus little about his circumstances, and besides, the mission hall never probed generous patrons.

Absent overt malice, the sect accepted any mission.

Qingyi had craved a battle-heavy task, yet after brief contemplation, he nodded and took it on.

The compensation was irresistible.

Her face lit up with a radiant grin upon his agreement,

visions of her commission dancing in her mind if success followed.

"Perfect!" She clapped enthusiastically. "All the information about the

mission, including the location of the secret realm, is on this scroll, along with a token that grants you entry to the private estate of the

family that controls it."

Qingyi completed unrolling the scroll. Sure enough, it held everything: a map with coordinates, a golden token, and

additional minor notes.

Stowing it all away, he signed the documents and departed.

Next up was a spot he'd long yearned to check out:

the sect's ship rental outpost.

Technically a private venture, it enjoyed hefty sect subsidies to keep rates disciple-friendly.

Disciples with ample contribution points could borrow ships gratis, bearing liability for damages.

Entering the main hall of the rental chamber of commerce, a plump,

jovial attendant welcomed him at once.

"Greetings, fellow disciple! Do you need a ship?" the man inquired, cupping his hands.

"Yes." Qingyi nodded. "I need to go on a mission. It won't take more

than a week."

Mission voyages earned hefty discounts, so he promptly displayed the pavilion scroll.

"Oh... perfect!" The rotund attendant beamed after a swift peek at the task.

Bound for the second habitable planet in their solar system,

nearby enough to skip long-haul ships. Solo traveler Qingyi required no massive craft.

A quick scan yielded the ideal vessel.

Compact at four meters from cockpit to twin engines, seating three max with no lavatory, bunks, or storage.

Payment made, he boarded and settled into the pilot's chair solo, only to confront an issue: zero idea how to pilot it. Rescue arrived moments later as voluptuous hips and lush curves dropped onto his lap.

His Ruxue ever ready to bail him out!
