At noon, at the foot of Mount Firon.

Four young men and women came together and sized up the forest in the mountains.

"This is Mount Firon."

Zheng Weirong looked at the forest on the mountain and turned around to tell his companion.

"Aew the Mountain Sprites here?" Bai Xiaotong asked.

"They should be. I heard the Mountain Sprites have appeared on Mount Firon for a few months. Even the Merit Hall has issued a clean-up mission. However, because there are too many of them, it's too difficult to kill them all, so no one has completed that mission yet."

Bai Xiaotong pursed her lips. "Then the reward must be too low.

Otherwise, a Heaven-rank disciple would have taken action long ago."

Zheng Weirong smiled and didn't say anything. He was tacitly agreeing with Bai Xiaotong.

As far as he knew, the reward for clearing the Mountain Sprites was only three minor merits.

As for the missions accepted by Heaven-rank disciples, the rewards were at least a few medium merits. Of course, they wouldn't be interested in just three minor merits.

Even Earth-rank disciples were often not very enthusiastic about the mission was only worth three minor merits.

Zheng Weirong glanced at Ai Jingting and Yan Dao behind him.

Otherwise, those two would have been aware of this mission.

Bai Xiaotong came to Ai Jingting's side and said with a smile, "Since there's a group of Mountain Sprites on Mount Firon, there's most likely also a Mountain Phantom. If you're lucky, you might be able to obtain the Mountain Phantom's hair today!"

Ai Jingting smiled gently. "Thank you for your kind words, Junior Sister Bai."

Mountain Phantoms were also known as Mountain Ghost Kings.

Wherever they went, Mountain Sprites would follow them.

Thus, Mountain Phantoms often appeared in places with a large number of Mountain Sprites.

As she needed Mountain Phantom's hair to refine the Flame Spirit Pills, Ai Jingting had been searching for Mountain Phantoms recently.

Unfortunately, Mountain Phantoms were rare and often appeared in the depths of dangerous mountain ranges. They were extremely difficult to find, so she had yet to find anything.

She accidentally found out yesterday that there was a group of Mountain Sprites on Mount Firon, so she rushed over.

"There's no time to lose. Let's hurry up the mountain."

Yan Dao also spoke at this time, looking at Ai Jingting with a smile.

"Junior Sister Ai, don't worry. I'll definitely help you get the Mountain Phantom's hair today!"

His tone was filled with confidence.

Yan Dao indeed had the confidence to say this.

As an Earth-rank disciple of the Nine Yang Academy, he was at Level 7 of the Long Breath Stage. Furthermore, his martial arts were exquisite.

He had enchanted armaments, and his strength was definitely one of the best among his peers.

Mountain Phantoms on Mount Firon was at most at the mid-phase of the Ascension Stabe. With Yan Dao's strength, killing a Mountain Phantom was a piece of cake.

Hearing this, Ai Jingting only smiled and pursed her lips without saying anything.

Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong looked at each other, a hint of a smile flashing across their eyes.

Everyone knew Yan Dao had fallen in love with Ai Jingting. Because of this, when he heard that Ai Jingting wanted to find someone to go to Mount Firon with, he immediately volunteered. It was too obvious.

Unfortunately, Ai Jingting had a simple personality and usually ignored men. Apart from cultivating, she was devoted to alchemy only. No matter how hard Yan Dao tried to please her, she only kept a respectful distance. Until now, Yan Dao had never been able to win her heart.

Even so, Yan Dao still wouldn't give up.

"The Flame Spirit Pills are superior pills. If Senior Sister Ai can obtain the Mountain Phantom's hair this time and successfully refine the Flame Spirit Pills, she'll be promoted to an official alchemist soon.

After that, she'll be as important as an upper-house disciple. Her future will be limitless!"

Zheng Weirong glanced at Ai Jingting, unable to hide the envy in his heart.

A skilled alchemist's status in the Nine Suns Sect was not much lower than a cultivator master.

In fact, because they could refine many precious pills, their status was extraordinary. Even cultivator masters wouldn't dare to underestimate them.

Therefore, becoming an alchemist was just as promising a path as becoming a cultivator master.

Unfortunately, the field of alchemy was too dependent on talent. Those with insufficient talent, no matter how hard they worked, their achievements would ultimately be very limited.

Many people with insufficient apt.i.tude couldn't become even the lowest-grade alchemist in their entire lives and had to remain alchemy apprentices.

At Ai Jingting's age, she was already halfway to becoming an alchemist.

It was enough to show how talented she was.

After chatting for a while, the group made their way up the mountain.

The four of them were quite capable, and even the weakest among them, Bai Xiaotong, was at the Fourth Level of the Long Breath Stage.

However, they were still cautious along the way, paying close attention to their surroundings in case the strange creatures attacked them.

However, after walking for a distance, Yan Dao suddenly exclaimed in a low voice. His gaze landed on the ground 50 to 60 meters to the right.

The other three followed his gaze and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

They saw a humanoid monster with extremely long limbs and a ferocious expression lying motionless there. It was a Mountain Sprite.

Zheng Weirong took a few steps forward to examine it. A moment later, he revealed a surprised expression.

"It's already dead. From the wounds on its body, it should be killed by a cultivator!"

Bai Xiaotong also walked over. After taking a few glances, she said in surprise, "The traces of Meltdown! It was a disciple of our academy!"

Yan Dao nodded and stared at the Mountain Sprite's corpse for a while before muttering,

"Judging by its size, it should be at the early phase of the Ascension Stage. There are only wounds on its head and no blood on its claws.

This means it was killed in one strike. The attacker didn't give the Mountain Sprite any chance to fight back."

Zheng Weirong and Bai Xiaotong were both surprised.

Even they could barely kill an early-phase Ascension Stage spiritual beast in one strike.. Could the person who beat them to it also be a Black-rank disciple of the academy?
