Chapter 5872
“We understand, thank you for the reminder.” David remained calm.
After the waiter left, the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord set up a soundproof barrier and said in a deep voice, “David, the Evil Path Hall’s influence in Crimson Flame City is probably not small. We need to be careful.”
“Hmm.”
David nodded, “Let’s go to the Mission Hall first and see if there’s a way to quickly obtain the Earth Fire Trial qualification.”
“Also, we need to go to the Earth Fire Pavilion. Even if we can’t get in, at least we can find out its location and the guards.”
After a short rest, the two left the inn and headed to the Mission Hall in the south of the city.
The Mission Hall was a very large circular building, bustling with activity inside. Hundreds of huge jade walls floated in mid-air, displaying various mission information.
The area was bustling with cultivators accepting, submitting, and issuing tasks.
David quickly found the area where the Earth Fire Pavilion issued tasks. The jade
tablets there were crimson red, and while the number of tasks was limited, the rewards for each one were extremely generous.
Each task was marked “Extremely Dangerous.”
“These tasks simply cannot be completed in a short time,”
the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord shook his head after reading them. “And the risks are too great.”
David also frowned.
The qualification for the Earth Fire Trial required 10,000 contribution points, and based on the difficulty and rewards of these tasks, at least two or three extremely dangerous tasks would need to be completed.
There simply wasn’t enough time.
“It seems that the conventional approach won’t work,”
David muttered. “I need to think of another way.”
Just then, the whispers of several cultivators nearby reached his ears:
“Have you heard? Elder Yan Xin of the Earth Fire Pavilion is leading a team to the Crimson Flame Canyon to collect Flame Spirit Grass and is recruiting temporary guards.” “
Flame Spirit Grass? That’s the main ingredient for refining Flame Heart Pills. It only grows deep within the Crimson Flame Canyon, guarded by Flame Dragons. Elder Yan Xin is personally leading the expedition this time, so the demand must be considerable.”
“What’s the reward like?”
“It’s said to be quite good. Guards who comple

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and sign up! Elder Yan Xin is one of the three great alchemists of the Earth Fire Pavilion. Following him is a rare opportunity!”
Several cultivators hurried towards the recruitment area on the other side of the main hall.
David’s eyes lit up.
Elder Yan Xin?
The alchemist of the Earth Fire Pavilion?
Leading a team to collect Flame Spirit Grass?
This might be an opportunity.
If they could infiltrate this team and perform exceptionally well in the mission, they might directly gain Elder Yanxin’s favor, thus qualifying for the Earth Fire Trial, or even directly obtaining clues about the Earth Core Jade Marrow Milk!
“Let’s go take a look,”
David said to the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord.
The two arrived at the recruitment area, where dozens of cultivators had already gathered, all at least the fifth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
On a makeshift wooden platform ahead stood a steward from the Earth Fire Pavilion, explaining the recruitment requirements.
“…This escort mission will last seven days, with the destination being the Crimson Flame Canyon. The main responsibilities are guarding and assisting with resource gathering. A cultivation level of at least the fifth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm is required.”
“The reward is five thousand high-grade spirit stones per person, with additional rewards for successful mission completion. Applicants must pass a simple test; places are limited, only the first ten will be accepted.”
The conditions weren’t harsh, and the reward was reasonable.
More importantly, this was an excellent opportunity to get close to the higher-ups of the Earthfire Pavilion.
David and the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord exchanged a glance and both decided to sign up.
The test was simple, nothing more than demonstrating cultivation and attack/defense capabilities.
However, when he walked to the testing area to sign up, a young steward of the Earthfire Pavilion in charge of registration glanced at him and immediately frowned.
“Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to sign up?”
The young steward’s tone was clearly suspicious. “The guard mission requires a minimum cultivation level of the fifth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and you… seem to be less than qualified.”
David was only at the first rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which did not meet the requirements at all.
His words immediately attracted the attention of the other applicants around him.
Dozens of gazes focused on David. When they sensed his aura as a first-grade Heavenly Immortal, many wore undisguised contempt and mockery.
“A first-grade Heavenly Immortal trying to join the fun? Isn’t that just courting death?”
“What kind of place is Crimson Flame Canyon? The dwelling place of the Flame Dragon! Even a sixth-grade Heavenly Immortal wouldn’t dare claim they could escape unscathed. What’s a first-grade cultivator doing there? Becoming the Flame Dragon’s snack?”
“Probably some greenhorn from some small-town place, thinking the Earth Fire Pavilion’s guard duties are an easy job.”
“Tch, ignorant of his own limitations.”
Whispers rose and fell, their tone filled with sarcasm. In the eyes of these cultivators, at least fifth-grade Heavenly Immortals, a first-grade Heavenly Immortal was no different from an ant.
Crimson Cloud Demon Lord stood behind David, his expression slightly grim, but David gestured for him to remain calm.
David remained calm and said to the young deacon, “Although my cultivation level is not high, I believe I have some protective techniques that might come in handy. Since you’re here, may I try them out?”
The young deacon hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when a gruff voice interrupted: “
Try them out? Kid, what do you think this place is? Playing house?”
The speaker was a burly man, nine feet tall with a face full of scars, carrying two axes the size of cartwheels on his back , his aura at the peak of the sixth rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
He walked up to David, looking down at him with a sneer, “The guard mission is for risking your life, not for newbies like you to learn something. If you know what’s good for you, get lost and don’t delay our legitimate cultivators’ registration.” A
burst of laughter erupted around them.
David looked up at the burly man, his tone still calm: “Fellow Daoist, the test hasn’t even started yet, how can you be so sure I’m not good enough?”
“Ha! You need to be sure?”
The burly man seemed to have heard a joke. “With your cultivation level, I could crush ten of you with a single finger! Kid, stop embarrassing yourself here, hurry up…”
His words trailed off.
Because David suddenly moved.
Not an attack, not a defense.
He simply took a step forward.
But in that instant, a trace of David’s aura leaked out.
Not a fifth-grade Celestial Immortal, nor a sixth-grade.
But an indescribable, seemingly all-encompassing yet transcendent aura!
Although it was only a fleeting moment, the burly man closest to David felt as if he had instantly been plunged into endless chaos, with all the laws around him trembling and submitting!
The raging spiritual power within him suddenly became stagnant and dormant, as if he had encountered a natural enemy!
The burly man’s expression changed drastically, and he staggered back three steps, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead. His eyes were filled with astonishment and uncertainty as he looked at David
. The laughter around him also abruptly ceased.
Those cultivators who had been mocking David now felt a strange sense of unease.
Although they didn’t know exactly what had happened, the burly man’s reaction and that fleeting, strange aura were enough to explain things.
This young cultivator who seemed to be only at the first level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm… was probably not simple!
