17: Flying Artifact: Flowered Sky lotus

[Ding! System mission!

Task: Reach the peak of the mountain

Reward: lucky draw-(high chance)

Time limit: 30 minutes] the system's voice was heard in Li fan's head as he took his first step..

"F*ck, System why did I get the mission just now?" Li fan asked but got no answer, he wondered why the system waited till now to hand out the mission..

"Hmm, I only have thirty minutes" Li fan said as he stared at the long snake-like steps towards the mountain peak..

Li fan took a long breath and began hastily walking up the steps, the huge pressure on the mountain wasn't much to him, but the higher he went the more pressure was released on to him..

Around the mountain path was many flower beds lined up leading towards the mountain peak, the mountain was so tall that Li fan noticed the clouds get closer and closer, it wouldn't be long till he could even touch one with his hands..

"This isn't so bad" Li fan thought as he rushed up the mountain peak, the amount of bodies laying on the steps steadily decreased as he ascended the peak..

"W-Walt, help me" a young man dressed luxuriously sat on one of the steps tryin got catch his breath, after noticing Li fan he had tried to stop him, but Li fan left as fast as he came, he was like the wind as he passed the youth without batting an eye..

"Help?, my ass, I have a mission to complete" Li fan cursed the youth in his mind and continued running up, he could care less about others..

"Damn, this mountain is crazy, no wonder those outer sect disciples released such strong auras, they had been training in the sect" Li fan thought

"Phew I'm almost there" Li fan looked up at the large amount of steps he had left, he couldn't imagine what would happen if one were to fall off this mountain...

The least of their worries would be about getting heavily injured to the point where they can't cultivate..

"Damn, if I could fly wouldn't I Be up there in a minute?" Li fan laughed at this thought and sped up..

....

10 minutes went by as he continued climbing towards the mountain peak, he had kept a steady pace, he took most of his time to look at the scenery around the mountain, there were many other surrounding mountain peaks around, Li fan even noticed a flock of cranes soaring over a mountain peak..

"This place is amazing" Li fan thought as he looked at the view, the place was very mystical and gave him lots of wuxia vibes..

"Finally, I'm here" Li fan took his last step and finally reached the mountain peak, there were only 10 or so people there who all seemed to be busy doing who-knows what..

[Ding! mission completed!

Task: reach the mountain peak!

Reward: lucky draw-(high chance)

Time limit: 20 minutes] the system's voice was heard in his head the moment Li fan took a step onto the peak..

"System! Quickly, spin the roulette once again" Li fan thought excitedly, a lucky draw with a high chance would definitely give him something good..

[Ding!! Congratulations!!

Reward: Flying Artifact: Flowered sky lotus (locked-sent to inventory) ] the system's voice sounded out in his head..

Li fan read the long strings of words and became excited..

"Can't lie, the system had me in the first half and a quarter" Li fan thought as he read the "locked" part of the sentence, he nearly threw up blood.

"F*ck, why is my reward locked?, where is Li xiao" Li fan thought and remembered about Li xiao..

....

"Wow, whose cute little sister is this?" A bulky middle-aged man asked with a lecherous smile as he walked close to Li xiao..

"Stay away from me, my brother will beat you up" Li xiao threw her small fists up and stepped back unconsciously..

"F*ck your brother, if he is cute I'd like to have some fun with him as well" the huge bulky middle-aged man licked the edges of his blade as he looked at Li xiao, the surrounding people all acted as if they didn't see a single thing.

"Cute your ass" Li fan roared and nearly pulled out his sword to kill the man instantly, he held back and threw out a fist using all his strength..

Boom!!!

The huge middle-aged man was sent crashing into a tree, the tree shattered instantly upon contact and the middle aged man didn't stop there, he kept falling until it seemed like he was falling straight to the foot of the mountain..

He would definitely be injured heavily and not be able to climb back up again, what made him even angrier was the fact that he noticed the outer sect disciples looking at him in disdain as they watched him fall off the peak of the mountain..

In a split second, the middle-aged man cursed all of Li fan's eighteen generations..

...

Li fan sat next to a tree with Li xiao next to him, the day was slowly going by, but the atmosphere on the mountain peak felt cool and comfortable..

The test slowly went by as more people managed to reach the peak, many of them seemed as if they had struggled at the gates of hell before finally making it, some even roared like angry beasts after making it.

"System, why is the flying treasure locked?" Li fan became depressed since he really wanted to fly..

[Ding! Host requires a cultivation above the body refining realm to be able to bind with a flying artifact, even though the host can fly after surpassing the body refining realm, a flying treasure can hold many people and also preserves qi] the system's voice sounded out as it gave Li fan an explanation..

"Seems fair" Li fan thought, but he was still slightly depressed..

"Ok everyone, that concludes the outer sect exams for today, a core disciple will be here to fly us to the soaring cloud sect" an outer disciple walked up and shouted, making sure everyone heard his words..

The 15 or so people became excited at the thought of flying to the sect, even Li fan couldn't wait to experience it.

"So core disciples have surpassed the body refining realm?" Li fan thought? After all if inner-disciples surpassed that realm then wouldn't the sect send an inner disciples instead?.
