After working for both the righteous and demonic factions, I became a big shot.

Shen An naturally didn't need to ask any further questions. Professionals should do professional things. Since he had already assigned the task to his fellow Daoists, he would leave it to them to do.

After Shen An left, Emei Peak sent another letter to the sect.

Besides requesting the sect to send people to attack the two major markets, which had already brought benefits, the other thing was to obtain a small piece of Qingyuan Divine Wood for Shen An.

The reason was also attached: Shen An has become a core disciple of the inner sect of the Divine Demon Sect. If the sect does not value Shen An, there may be unforeseen changes.

The Qingyuan Divine Wood is one of the unique treasures of the Yuqing Dao Sect. It can change a person's origin, making their cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. It is only available to those who have made significant contributions to the sect.

.........

After leaving the pharmacy, Shen An planned to go to the sect to ask his master for leave. He would be keeping a close eye on the Azure Dragon Market and would also ask his master for manpower support.

However, as soon as Shen An left the territory of Qinglongfang Market, his path was blocked.

The person blocking the way exuded righteousness, with a rather delicate face and dressed in a white outfit, but his style was completely different from that of the people from the Jade Purity Dao Sect; he seemed more like someone from the Sword Pavilion.

This person's strength isn't particularly high; he's only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Shen An, is it? I see you have quite a status in the Divine Demon Sect. Be a good girl and follow me, and I can spare you from physical pain!" Although the man's tone sounded ruthless, it also carried a subtle gentleness.

A woman dressed as a man?

Shen An looked at the other person's chest and thought it didn't look like a woman's.

But when the latter noticed where Shen An's gaze was directed, he took a small step back, looking uncomfortable.

Okay, it's confirmed, it's a girl, and she's a complete novice.

Shen An had already taken out six talismans in his hand, all of which were gifts from his senior brothers and sisters.

Even at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he could easily drive away his opponent by smashing talismans.

"If I don't go with you, what will you do, young lady?" Shen An said with a smile, while crushing the first attack talisman in his hand.

"Then I'll have no choice but to kidnap you," the girl said, a long sword appearing in her hand.

If I bring this person back, my senior sister shouldn't blame me for running around, right?

Just then, a flame appeared and headed straight for her.

The flames were incredibly fast and carried a terrifying heatwave, so the little girl could only hastily unleash a sword strike to defend herself.

But before she could neutralize that attack, another one came.

Another black arc of electricity struck her, an attack that was definitely from the Foundation Establishment stage!

The little girl's cheeks were puffed out in anger as she cursed, "What kind of gentleman are you to launch a sneak attack?"

But it ran incredibly fast.

Shen An didn't intend to chase after her. Two Foundation Establishment stage attack talismans were enough to scare away this little girl who had no combat experience.

But before he could leave, he found himself unable to move.

"You dare to hurt my junior sister, and you think you can just leave?"

A clear, cold voice, like a snow-capped peak and a chilly spring, seemed to come from the clouds.

A white figure appeared in Shen An's sight; it was a true female sword immortal!

She wore a pristine white, wide-sleeved dress, the hem of which fluttered slightly in the still air, as if carrying the invisible currents of the world.

The woman was about twenty years old, with jet-black hair loosely tied up with a simple white jade hairpin, the rest of her long hair hanging down naturally, and her small face looked rather aloof.

Her features were exquisite, yet she was as cold as ice and jade, showing no trace of emotion.

What is most striking is the sheathed longsword hanging at her waist. The sheath is simple and unadorned, with natural wood grain flowing across it, subtly in sync with her breathing.

She was just standing there, and she was like a peerless sword that had concealed all its sharpness, yet no one dared to ignore it!

Feng Qingyu, a peerless sword immortal who roams the mortal realm of Jian Ge!

Shen An recognized this prodigy at a glance.

Damn it, how did I run into this person near the Demonic Sect, and why is he unable to move...?

Shen An thought, if all else fails, he should expose his undercover identity; he couldn't very well be killed by his own fellow disciples.

Yes, at this moment he is a man of the righteous path!

"Hehe, senior sister, you're here..." The little girl who had been standing there suddenly appeared out of nowhere, made a face at Shen An, and became more assertive with her backer.

"Those who follow the demonic path deserve to be killed by everyone!" Feng Qingyu said coldly, looking ready to make a move.

Just as Shen An was about to speak in his defense, he heard the young girl say, "Senior sister, wait a minute. We're here to find someone who can infiltrate our Sword Pavilion and become our mole. He's perfect for that."

Ok? ? ?

Shen Anxin said, "Why do I feel like you two are putting on a show?"

"Can a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator really do it?" Feng Qingyu asked with a skeptical expression.

The young girl said, "Senior sister, you didn't see how impressive he was in Qinglong Market just now. He's an inner disciple, after all."

Feng Qingyu frowned as she looked at Shen An. Apart from being good-looking, he was nothing special.

Has the Divine Demon Sect fallen into such a state of decline?

"Very well, since you say so, then it's him." Feng Qingyu didn't say anything more and released the pressure on Shen An.

The latter then felt much more relaxed, both physically and mentally.

"I... I am willing to be an inside agent for Jian Ge."

Feng Qingyu didn't expect finding an inside man to be so easy. It seems that his master lied to him. He found one just like that.

The mission can be considered a great success!

"Okay, this is my communication tool. Keep it safe. Remember to send me a copy if you have any information in the future." Feng Qingyu handed a palm-sized sword to Shen An.

Then, he planned to leave with his junior sister.

Did these two really arrange an undercover agent so carelessly?

He didn't set any restrictions for himself, nor did he make any other plans. That's it?

Or did their brains develop in other parts of their bodies?

Shen An believed Feng Qingyu had developed elsewhere, but that junior sister...

"Wait a minute, gentlemen, I'm acting as an inside agent for our Sword Pavilion. Isn't there any reward or benefit?" Shen An, based on the principle that since he was already here, he might as well go after one or two sheep. It was just an undercover operation, his old profession.

Feng Qingyu thought for a moment and handed a small storage bag to Shen An: "This contains some pills, spirit stones, and a low-grade flying sword from my Sword Pavilion. Consider it your reward."

"If we have any intelligence in the future, we will reward you even more."

So generous! You gave me so much in just a few words. I can't bear to lie to you anymore.

Shen An thought this to himself, but said aloud, "I have some information here that I can give to you for free, consider it my pledge of loyalty."

The young girl's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Senior sister, look, he's definitely suitable to be our undercover agent. What information do you have? Tell me quickly."

Shen An lowered his voice mysteriously: "Three days from now, the people from the Jade Purity Dao Sect will launch a night raid on the Xuan Yin Market. I think our Sword Pavilion can also take this opportunity to make a move."

At this moment, he was a member of the Sword Pavilion!

Feng Qingyu looked at Shen An with puzzled eyes. She didn't understand what he meant. Gathering intelligence was so difficult, while cultivation was much easier.

"Ahem, what I mean is, our Sword Pavilion can launch another attack on Xuan Yin Market after the Jade Purity Dao Sect leaves. That will be the time when they least expect it, but we must be careful to wait until their experts have left."

"The number of shops and goods in Xuan Yin Market has increased significantly in the past few months. Even if our Sword Pavilion cannot destroy this place, we can still gain a lot of benefits."

"For example, I've heard that there are several underground black market money exchanges in Xuan Yin Market..."

Shen An didn't mention anything about gaining fame by saving people to Jian Ge. Jian Ge didn't care about that at all; all they cared about was their swords and money.

Yes, Jiange needs money, and it desperately needs it.

After all, the creation of a peerless sword depends on money and resources.

Even if an ancient sword were to see the light of day again, it would still require the finest resources to nurture and refine it...

They would even remelt countless swords in the furnace, attempting to forge the best sword.

However, this method has a very low success rate and is very expensive.

But Jian Ge has always been on the path of experimentation, after all, they have always firmly believed that good swords can be forged, they just haven't succeeded yet.

Talk to Jiange about ideals and they won't listen, but talk to them about where to make money and they'll really listen.

Feng Qingyu gave Shen An an approving look, her tone slightly less cold: "Okay, tell me the specific time and situation, and I'll go there then."

Then she took out paper and pen: "Speak slowly, I'll write it down."

She was born unable to remember anything unrelated to swords; her mind was entirely focused on swords.

Shen An: ...........

No, girl, your image of a cold and aloof female swordswoman in my heart only lasted for less than ten minutes!
