43 Chapter 43: Did I do well?
"Is it a person?" Xiu Ying asked, raising her head. "Tell me and I will kill him!"
Eren could feel that she was very serious. He was certain that even if he told her the name of a Great Elder of their sect, she was still going to find a way to kill him.
"This isn't a problem that can be solved by killing a few people," Eren told her, patting her head.
"If it's more than a few people, I will kill them all," Xiu Ying said firmly, her eyes blazing with determination. "As long as it helps you..."
Eren didn't know how to respond to her.
After a long time, he said, "You don't need to do anything. It's just a small thing. I'll handle it on my own."

~Three days later~
Ye Liang landed in front of a forest.
"Young Friend, be careful. This forest is known to be the graveyard of cultivators."
Next to Ye Liang, there stood a middle aged man.
The man was provided by the Sect to bring him to the mission destination.
Usually, a disciple didn't have this privilege. But when one became a core disciple or an Elder's disciple, they were allowed some aid during their travels if it was for a sect mission.
"If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have selected this mission," Ye Liang answered confidently.
He didn't know why these people kept looking down on him. Was it simply because he looked young?
He looked forward to the time when he was going to become the strongest person in this world with the aid of his system. He wanted to see the face of this man then.
"Alright. If you're confident, then I'll trust you. But in any case, you are only allowed to complete your mission of gathering herbs in the outer region of the Forest of Death."
The middle aged man reminded Ye Liang.
"Even if you are confident, you are still only a Body Refining Cultivator who hasn't crossed the threshold of Spirit Refining Realm."
"So you must not go beyond the outer region! Even Spirit Refining Cultivators would die inside!"
He bid the middle aged man farewell and entered the Forest of Death.
"I have seen many Disciples die just because they were overconfident and ventured where they shouldn't. I hope you aren't one of them."
The middle aged man sighed as he turned to leave.
He had brought the disciple to the forest. He finished his task. As for how long Ye Liang was going to stay inside the forest, or how he was going to return, it wasn't their responsibility.
The only reason he gave suggestions was because he didn't want the young man to die.
"That idiot thought I was a child. Did he really think I just selected this mission because I wanted to gather herbs in the outer region?"
Walking inside the forest, Ye Liang smiled to himself.
"Sect Mission is just an excuse. The only reason I selected it is because I needed a lift. My main mission is in the depths of the Forest of Death. I came here to finish the quest given by my system."
Along the way, he came across many herbs that he was supposed to gather for the Sect mission, even as he didn't bother looking for them.
Since the herbs appeared before him, he plucked them and kept them in his system inventory, feeling lucky.
Soon, he walked to the end of the outer region of the forest of death.
This was the threshold he wasn't told to pass.
Beyond this threshold, no Cultivator beneath the Spirit Refining Realm could survive after all. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Outer Region of the Forest of Death only had weak monsters.
Although they were hard to kill by ordinary Body Refining Realm cultivators, it wasn't enough to scare people.
The Inner Region was different. There were more powerful and violent monsters the deeper one went inside this first.
The Inner Region had another difference. It was that the air in the inner region was different.
If one breathed the air in, they could go crazy and lose their sanity. Only Spirit Refining Realm Cultivators and above could resist that effect.
That's why it was forbidden for Body Refining Realm cultivators to go beyond the Outer Region of the Forest of Death.
"Does this forest think it can stop me with just that?"
He brought a small pill out of his system inventory.
[Pill of Spirituality]
[Description: Temporarily increases one's Cultivation to Spirit Refining Realm for one week]
[Obtaining Method: Daily Task Reward]
Ye Liang placed the pill in his mouth, feeling his mind being fortified and his spirituality increase.
His Cultivation temporarily increased, allowing him to easily navigate through the Forest of Death without losing his mind.
It didn't just allow him to remain unaffected by the air in the Forest of Death, but it also increased his strength to some extent.
He didn't stop there and brought a ring from his inventory.
[Ring of Presence Suppression]
[Description: A one time use item that allows the user to hide his presence.]
[Maximum Effect Duration: One Week]
[Obtaining Method: Quest Reward]
"Since it's just a one time use item, it will be destroyed the moment I stop using it. And at most, it can only last one week now that I've worn it."
"Seems like a waste of such a useful item, but the reward this time should make it worthwhile."
With all the preparation complete, Ye Liang stepped inside the Inner Region of the forest.
With the pill effect, he was unaffected by the air. And with the pill, he remained undetected by the beasts as long as he didn't walk right in front of them.
....
At the same time, in the core region of the Forest of Death, a young man was sitting calmly.
There were corpses of the strongest beasts in the forest all around him.
The young man scratched the back of his head. "She is stronger than I thought."
Not far from him, there was Xiu Ying who crushed the throat of a powerful monster, tossing his lifeless corpse away.
After killing every monster in the core region, she turned around and smiled, "Did I do well?"
Eren walked over to the woman whose face was covered in blood of the monsters.
Bringing out his handkerchief, he wiped the blood on her beautiful face. "You did great."
