I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 118 Sect Mission
"Sister."

Ying Chan withdrew his gaze and pondered, "How should we take care of the fairy while she is asleep?"

"There's no need for special care..."

Bai Zhi said, "Being in the Immortal Abode, there is no need to guard against external enemies. It is already the safest environment. We only need to pay attention to any unusual occurrences occasionally."

"What? Junior brother, do you perhaps have some concerns?"

Ying Chan also had no choice but to speak frankly: "My cultivation practice is very demanding. Sometimes I go into seclusion for ten days or even a month at a time."

"Moreover, I recently intended to go to the Capital Affairs Office to take on sect missions, so I may not be able to keep an eye on Fairy's condition at all times, which naturally makes me worried."

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then how about I take care of the fairy, junior brother?"

"Should we leave her in the care of our senior sister?"

Ying Chan was taken aback, but Bai Zhi became more and more excited as she spoke: "In the Immortal Garden Mountain, apart from occasionally having to go to Langfeng Courtyard to report for duty, I spend my days taking care of spirit beasts, so I don't need another fairy."

"Moreover, if the fairy does anything unusual while I'm with her, I can examine her more quickly, and even if I can't handle it, I can ask my master for help..."

Ying Chan was moved upon hearing this.

He had heard Bai Zhi mention that her master was an elder of Xianyou Mountain and a Golden Core cultivator who had been immersed in the art of beast taming for hundreds of years.

With such a person in charge, Cai Que'er is sure to be safe.

Moreover, Angelica dahurica is indeed worthy of Ying Chan's trust.

He had seen many spirit beasts in the Immortal Garden Mountain, and they all showed great affection and fondness for Bai Zhi, which shows her character.

"What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Bai Zhi's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

After much deliberation, Ying Chan concluded that sending the fairy to Immortal Garden Mountain would be more appropriate than keeping her at Hanxu Dojo, and immediately agreed, "That would be fine, but I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

"Why bother with such words?"

Bai Zhi beamed with joy and said, "If word gets out about this job, I wonder how many fellow disciples from Immortal Garden Mountain would be willing to volunteer."

Ying Chan was speechless.

Having finalized the matter, the two did not delay and immediately decided to move Cai Que'er to Xianyou Mountain.

They talk a big game, but when it comes to doing it, they are meticulous.

Bai Zhi summoned a cloud chariot, solemnly moved the Phoenix Nest on the chariot, and took off steadily. She didn't even dare to speed up at all, and flew for almost half an hour before returning to the Immortal Garden Mountain.

Bai Zhi placed the colorful sparrow in her courtyard, carefully set up protective barriers, and then called back the two large parrots, repeatedly instructing them not to disturb the colorful sparrow and to help take care of it.

Although the two large parrots were playful, they were not mischievous. They obediently agreed, repeatedly exclaiming, "Don't worry, young lady! Don't worry, young lady!"

Seeing how thoughtful she was, Ying Chan felt more at ease and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you from now on, Senior Sister."

Bai Zhi waved her hand again, saying it wasn't necessary.

Ying Chan didn't dwell on the matter. After bowing and thanking Bai Zhi, he chatted with her for a while and then said, "I've already taken up half of Senior Sister's time today, so I won't bother you any longer."

"I'll take my leave now."

Bai Zhi did not try to stop him, but said, "If you are concerned about the fairy's condition, you are welcome to come to Immortal Garden Mountain at any time."

Ying Chan nodded in agreement, said no more, and left Bai Zhi's courtyard, then rode away on a blazing light.

After leaving Xianyou Mountain.

Ying Chan's thoughts shifted, and he thought, "Now that I've entrusted the fairy to my senior sister's care, it's time to make a trip to the Ministry of State Affairs."

Having made up his mind, he soared into the clouds, changed direction, and sped away. Before long, the colossal Tiandu Mountain came into view.

Ying Chan entered the Capital Affairs Office and went straight to the main courtyard, where he found the Xuanji Platform, which oversaw all sect missions.

The person on duty at Xuanji Terrace was an old Taoist priest with long eyebrows.

A cultivator with profound spiritual light has a lifespan of two hundred years, while one with great strength and strife has a lifespan of three hundred years. Ying Chan could not discern the old Taoist's cultivation level, but even considering him as a cultivator with profound spiritual light, he was still a very senior elder.

Unsure of the proper seniority, Ying Chan simply greeted the Daoist Master with a polite "Greetings, Daoist Master."

"This junior wishes to choose a mission from within the sect. Please, Daoist, show me the record."

"Greetings." The old Taoist priest said with a smile, "Young friend, please show me your disciple certificate first."

Upon hearing this, Ying Chan hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his waist and presented it to Ying Chan.

"So you've only been practicing for half a year, young friend?"

The old Taoist priest, after examining Ying Chan's disciple certificate, was quite surprised and said, "I observe that you, young friend, have already cultivated your profound magical light to a minor level?"

It should be explained that it is true.

“I see.” The old Taoist took out a thick book: “All the tasks that you can take on, young friend, are listed in it.”

The booklet looked quite peculiar, with a jade-like luster, yet it was as soft as paper.

As the old Taoist priest unfolded the thick book, Ying Chan's gaze fell upon it, and he saw a few ink stains spreading out and solidifying into characters.

"Guarding the Azure Sky-Piercing Array, guarding the Ice Extreme Dao Palace, guarding the Vast Origin Blessed Land, guarding the Profound Yin Flood Cave, collecting the Primordial Spirit Essence..."

He flipped through a few pages, seemingly lost in thought.

These tasks are not difficult in themselves. For example, the duty of guarding the post can be considered quite easy, except for the requirement to report for duty every day.

At most, the requirements may differ due to different geographical locations.

The Xuan Yin Hong Cave is a wondrous place within the sect, filled with a special Yin-attribute spiritual energy that is of great benefit to cultivators in tempering their bodies.

However, the cave is extremely vast, and the spiritual energy rises and falls like surging tides. If one is accidentally swept into it and cannot find a way out, it is indeed quite dangerous.

Therefore, the duty of guarding the Xuan Yin Hong Cave sometimes requires entering the cave to search for and rescue disciples in distress.

This requires the disciples on duty who accept the task to have a certain level of ability to cope with the situation.

The same applies to the other places. As for the task of collecting the essence of the whole body, it does not require daily attendance, but it is a truly painstaking and time-consuming task.

After a brief moment of consideration, Ying Chan's heart already subtly leaned towards guarding the Azure Sky-Supporting Array.

This Azure Sky-Piercing Array is truly a renowned location within the Immortal Abode.

This formation has the ability to draw in the vital energy from the heavens, and it was specifically designed by our sect to collect celestial energy for its disciples.

That being said, entering the Azure Heaven-Slaying Formation once requires not only a large amount of cultivation but also prior registration and waiting.

Therefore, guarding the Azure Sky-Supporting Formation is a very leisurely job, with almost no trivial matters to handle. In his spare time, he can study spells, Taoist scriptures, and even condense magical power.

Of course, guarding the Azure Sky-Supporting Array is such a leisurely job, but the term of office is not short. It requires at least 100 days of duty before one can report to the Capital Affairs Office, and the amount of Dao merit gained is not much.

But for Ying Chan, it was the perfect solution, as it neither affected his studies nor prevented him from gaining Daoist merit.

However, he did not rush to make a decision. He still looked at every available task and found many suitable options, but compared with guarding the Azure Sky Heaven-Supporting Formation, they were only indecisive.

Ying Chan did not change his mind, but upon reading the final result, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"Primordial Stone Mine..."
