Chapter 55: Mysterious Mission 2

  "Actually, you guys don't need to worry too much." Qian Zhanggu looked at Fang Tian Nan and the others, narrowing his eyes as he said, "The sect has very good protective measures for you guys. Otherwise, they wouldn't have announced the news so quickly."

  "Qian Zhanggui, you don't know that just today, we've been surrounded and stared at countless times..." Xiao Ruo said with a bitter smile.

  "Hehe, this is to be expected." Qian Zhanggu said with a smile, "If I hadn't known it was you guys earlier, I would have gone to take a look too. Oh my, this is entering the Legacy Cave Heaven! In this lifetime, I've never had such an opportunity. Just thinking about it gets me excited..."

  "Alright, you can stop teasing us now." Not only did Xiao Ruo's face turn sour, but also Jia Jianming and Fang Tiannan looked embarrassed upon hearing this.

  "Alright, alright, I won't tease you little ones anymore." Qian Zhanggui still had a smile on his face as he said, "This is your own good fortune, others can only envy it. Don't look at those with ulterior motives or jealous ones, that's because they themselves lack ability and luck."

  "You can understand, it's just that your realm is high. It doesn't mean that others will think the same way." Xiao Ruo explained, "I'm almost certain that today is only the first day. By tomorrow, who knows, there might be other disciples with different talent attributes coming over to lecture us. Even among fellow fire attribute energy outer sect disciples, it's hard to avoid some unexpected situations arising. Perhaps their thoughts are even more ridiculous. For example, if we hadn't entered the inheritance cave, maybe they would have had a chance."

  "Yes, yes...," said Zhai Jianming on the side, also deeply moved. "This is it, we were just thinking of finding a suitable task and getting out to avoid the storm."

  "Heh heh, some things are inevitable. Manager Qian looked at the three of them with a profound gaze and said, "Can you really go out and do tasks for the rest of your lives?..." He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, the sect has also taken into account your actual situation. Moreover, this sudden announcement was indeed a bit rushed, but it couldn't be helped. It was Taihangbang who spread the rumor first, and we had no choice. So, the sect has prepared a task for you..."

  Qian Zhanggui finished speaking, and began to lower his head, rummaging through something in the counter in front of him. Then, he took out three books and handed them over, saying: "Take them. Prepare well, even if you don't come, I will send someone to deliver them tonight."

  "Is the sect's task ready?" Xiao Ruo heard this and a hint of strangeness hung at the corner of her mouth.

  Duan Jianming was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, flipping through the booklet to take a look. He muttered to himself: "It's indeed a sect mission. However, there are quite a few people involved."

  "Hehe, you'll know when you go." Boss Qian waved his hand and said, "Alright, you three, remember to work hard and make an effort. Don't disturb my sleep again..."

  "Huh,......" Looking at Qian Zhanggui, he suddenly fell asleep again. Fang Tian Nan rubbed his own nose, wondering if he was really sleeping or just pretending to be.

  。。。。。。

  Out of the task hall, Fang Tian Nan and his two companions naturally revolved around the tasks on the small booklet, discussing them for a while. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the three of them also came together to Xiao Ruo's residence.

  "The time is tomorrow morning, and it's led by Elder Fang of the Inner Gate. It seems that this is indeed a special arrangement made by the sect for us." Xiang Ruo spoke first after reading the contents of the booklet, "However, I took a closer look at the list of participants in the task, and basically, they are all figures who can be counted among the top in the Outer Gate disciples."

  "Right, there are indeed a few too many people. If it's just for the three of us, it's not quite convincing...” Zhai Jianming furrowed his brow, seemingly skeptical of Qian Zhanggui's reason. "Look, let's not mention Wu Yuncai, but there's Chen Yan, the representative of metal attribute energy, Huang Biao, the representative of earth attribute energy, Yun Ruo Hua, the representative of wood attribute energy... even Han Guangyue Shijie, who just failed to advance, is here. Basically, it's a list of the most talented outer door disciples who have a chance to advance to the inner door."

  "Alright, I don't know many people, so I won't express my opinion." Fang Tian Nan watched the two of them chatting enthusiastically and couldn't help but add a sentence.

  Suddenly, Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

  Fang Tian Nan probably only knows a few people, aside from Xiao Ruo and Di Jian Ming, as well as Wu Yun Cai. The rest of the people might not even know his name. Fang Tian Nan has been staying in his residence for the past few days, unless he was practicing with Gu Xiao Fan and Di Jian Ming. He doesn't understand much about the affairs of the outer sect disciples.

  "I, actually, have heard of one of their names." Seemingly intimidated by Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming's gaze, Fang Tian Nan whispered, "Han Guang Yue."

  "Oh... " Di Jianming nodded slightly and said, "It should be her recent attempt to break through to the Human Yuan realm that failed, the news spread quickly."

  "Uh-huh, that's right." Fang Tian Nan also nodded in agreement. This was still a name he had heard on the trading market.

  "However, Senior Xiao, if we just look at this list, then this task is indeed very promising. " Zhai Jianming turned to discuss with Xiao Ruo, "Thinking carefully, Tian Nan and I have actually gained quite a bit of advantage."

  "What did you say?" Fang Tian Nan asked.

  "Because I found out that apart from the two of us, all the others on the list are either in the late stage of Jie Jin or at the peak of Jie Jin." Zhai Jianming explained, as if he had thought of something and deliberately added a sentence, "Hmm, Han Guangyue Shizi, before her decline in strength, was indeed at the peak of Jie Jin. I think that even now, her combat power wouldn't be inferior to mine."

  "I think that's not the most important thing." Xiao Ruo said, looking at the list of task participants, "If I'm guessing correctly, you two have some factors being taken care of, but since you both have also entered the Transmission Cave Heaven, it's only natural to be on this list."

  "Did Elder Xiao discover something?" Zhai Jianming asked curiously.

  "Think carefully, apart from the people on the list, among the outer sect disciples, isn't there anyone else who has reached the later stages of the Foundation Building realm, or even the peak of the Foundation Building realm?" asked Xiao Ruo.

  "It's naturally like that." Zhai Jianming replied, "If among the entire Qingyun Sect's outer sect disciples, there are only a few martial artists who have reached the later stages of the Huan Jin realm, then they might not even be qualified to be one of the three major sects."

  "It's true." Xiao Ruo analyzed with a calm face, saying, "So, being able to appear in this task and having the strength of the late stage of Huajing is not the most important condition. On the contrary, it's just for reference. Besides, have you noticed that the people on the list are all relatively young?"

  "Huh, really?" Zhai Jianming was taken aback, then looked at the small booklet in his hand again and said, "Moreover, they should all be quite good in terms of natural talent. At least, they all have energy attributes."

  Suddenly, Xiao Rou couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head, saying: "You've only just realized this? You think that with a young age and strength reaching the late stage of the Transformation Realm, your innate talent would be poor?"

  Dai Jianming heard this and could only smile wryly on one side.

  。。。。。。

  About this task, the booklet has the leader's elder and the list of team members. However, what they are going to do is not specified. It only notes in the booklet that it may take a month. Therefore, for those on the list who have other matters to attend to, they can only resolve them today as soon as possible.

  In addition, it's a reward for completing the task, 500 contribution points from the sect.

  For Fang Tiannan, as well as for Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming, such rewards can be considered very generous.

  Like a disciple in the sect, the tasks that are released generally have dozens of contribution points. If you're looking for some precious materials, there may be hundreds of contribution points as rewards. However, the probability of appearance is very low.

  Fang Tian Nan was in the task hall when he saw a quest seeking "Ice Cold Xuan Iron". The reward could be contribution points, exchangeable for other fourth-tier materials, or even elixirs. Due to the generous rewards, the task's position on the task bar was quite eye-catching. Fang Tian Nan pondered that this might be the task posted by that mysterious woman with a veil over her face, whom he had noticed in the trading market.

  As for the tasks released by the sect, they are mostly small tasks with dozens of contribution points.

  It's like Fang Tiannan, Xiao Ruoji and others, the tasks they want to participate in, each person can receive 500 sect contribution points, as Xiao Ruoji and Di Jianming said, even if it takes three to five years, it's hard to come across one.

  It's clear that this task is of great importance to the sect this time around.

  Moreover, the participants were all outstanding disciples among the outer sects, and they had the guidance of the sect's elder. For a time, not to mention Fang Tian Nan, even Xiao Ruo looked forward to this task with anticipation.

  But Fang Tian Nan was participating in the sect's mission for the first time in his life, and apart from anticipation, he also had some trepidation and excitement.
