After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Then he wanted to go see his two old flames, Nangong Li and Chu Qingyi.

Especially Chu Qingyi, Lin Fengmian wanted to ask her if she really had a master, and what her relationship was with that Supreme Elder.

However, after visiting Qingyue Peak and Chu Qingyi's residence, they learned that both women were in seclusion, attempting to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and had not yet emerged from their seclusion.

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched.

Well, I can't see a single one.

He sighed.

Now that things have come to this, the only option left is to accept some missions from the inner sect's mission hall.

We can't just sit idle, can we?

I need to earn some spirit stones, otherwise I won't even be able to afford the materials for alchemy.

……

Lin Fengmian then transformed into a streak of light and arrived at the inner sect's mission hall.

It has to be said that the inner sect is more impressive than the outer sect.

The outer gate's mission hall was merely a large hall, quite rudimentary.

The inner sect's mission hall, however, is a seven-story pagoda, entirely made of jade, with flying eaves and brackets, exuding a magnificent aura.

There are eight windows around the pagoda, and long queues are lined up in front of each window. Disciples are gathered in twos and threes, some handing over tasks, and others discussing which task is the most cost-effective. They are very busy.

Lin Fengmian was well aware that inner disciples were the backbone of the sect.

Outer disciples have too low a cultivation level, so they can only take on a limited number of tasks, and most of them are just errand-running or menial jobs.

As for the direct disciples, or even the true disciples, where would they find the time to take on missions? They are either in seclusion cultivating or exploring secret realms, and the sect is unwilling to let them do these chores.

Therefore, the inner disciples naturally took on most of the tasks.

Lin Fengmian randomly selected a window, wanting to see if there were any suitable tasks.

however--

As luck would have it, just as he reached the window, two figures blocked his way.

"Heaven has eyes, allowing me to meet you here! Hahaha! You piece of trash, how dare you come to the inner sect!"

A haughty voice rang out.

Lin Fengmian looked up and saw a man and a woman.

It was those two cultivators from the Pill Peak who tried to steal his spiritual medicine outside the secret realm!

The man had a sinister face and was now looking at Lin Fengmian with a sinister grin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

The woman beside him also looked unfriendly, gazing at Lin Fengmian as if he were a dead man.

"Senior brother, why are you talking to this kid! Just kill him!"

The woman gave a cold snort, her voice sharp and shrill.

Upon hearing this, the man chuckled and then walked towards Lin Fengmian, unabashedly releasing his late-stage Foundation Establishment spiritual pressure, making the surrounding air feel heavier.

"stop!"

Just then, a figure blocked their way.

It was Zhao Tian, ​​the late-stage Foundation Establishment senior brother who was in charge of receiving Lin Fengmian.

After recognizing the newcomer, the man snorted coldly and then spoke:

"Zhao Tian, ​​what do you want to do?"

Both were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and in terms of strength, the man was evenly matched with Zhao Tian.

But the other party is a disciple of the Pill Refining Peak.

Danyao Peak is a rather special entity within the inner sect.

After all, the Pill Peak is basically responsible for supplying pills to the inner disciples.

Who doesn't encounter minor mishaps while cultivating?

Who doesn't encounter bottlenecks? Who doesn't need the aid of elixirs?

If you offend the disciples of Pill Peak, they can easily tamper with your pills when you ask for them in the future, and that will be enough to make things difficult for you.

Zhao Tian also looked troubled.

Although the peak master instructed me to take care of Lin Fengmian, I shouldn't offend the disciples of the Pill Refining Peak for the sake of a junior brother who has just entered the sect, right?

After all, who can say that they won't encounter some minor setbacks or bottlenecks during their cultivation, requiring them to seek help from the Pill Peak?

He hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to speak:

"The inner sect has an order that fellow disciples are not allowed to fight each other. Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the enforcement team for fighting here?"

Upon hearing this, the man chuckled lightly, unconcerned.

"Heh, Zhao Tian, ​​but this guy was the one who was rude to me first!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tian immediately retorted:

"I've been following behind my junior brother the whole time, and I haven't seen him do anything disrespectful to you!"

The man's face darkened, and he was about to speak when the woman beside him spoke first:

"The sect has rules against attacking fellow disciples, but it also has rules—outer disciples must bow and pay respects to inner disciples!"

She sneered, glancing at Lin Fengmian with smugness in her eyes:

"An outer disciple not only fails to bow to us inner disciples, but also dares to talk back to us? What is this if not disrespect for a fellow disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian let out a cold laugh.

He was too lazy to waste words with the two of them, so he simply took out a jade tablet and slammed it on the table.

The jade plaque was entirely blue, with the four large characters "Inner Sect of the Joyful Union Sect" engraved on it, and Lin Fengmian's name and number on the back.

"Open your dog eyes and see what this is."

Upon seeing the jade pendant, the two men's expressions immediately changed, becoming somewhat grim.

Inner disciple?!

This good-for-nothing, when did he become an inner disciple?!

The argument between the group had already attracted the attention of many cultivators, and upon seeing this, the surrounding cultivators immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! That's hilarious! The people from Pill Peak were bullying a newbie, but it turns out he's an inner disciple too!"

"Now you've bitten off more than you can chew, haven't you?"

"Tsk tsk, those two were so arrogant just now, why are they so quiet now?"

Hearing the surrounding laughter, the man's face turned red, and his eyes blazed with anger.

He roared, his voice so powerful it made the surrounding air buzz:

"You good-for-nothing who got into the inner sect through connections! So what if you're an inner disciple?!"

He pointed at Lin Fengmian, his face contorted in a ferocious expression:

"I'm going to fight you to the death! Do you dare? If you don't, then get out of here!"

"Don't go too far..."

Zhao Tian wanted to say something more.

However, before he could finish speaking—

"I dare."

A calm voice came from Lin Fengmian's mouth.

The entire room fell silent.

All eyes turned to the figure in the blue robe.

The man was also taken aback, then a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes.

"Good! Good! Good!" he exclaimed three times, then threw his head back and laughed loudly, "You asked for it, so don't blame me!"

With a wave of his hand, he took out a jade tube from his robes and threw it towards Lin Fengmian:

"A waiver of liability! Sign it!"

Lin Fengmian reached out and caught the jade tube. Without even looking at it, he directly imprinted his divine sense into it.

The jade tube suddenly shone brightly, then split in two. One half flew back into the man's hand, and the other half fell into Lin Fengmian's hand.

The life-or-death agreement has been signed.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding cultivators immediately erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap! Is this newbie insane?! Early Foundation Establishment stage challenging late Foundation Establishment stage?!"

"That's Senior Brother Zhou from Pill Peak! He's a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and a top-grade first-tier alchemist! How can this newbie possibly compete?"
