Holy Maiden, wait a minute. Why are you asking me to cultivate again?

Upon seeing the newcomer, the deacon of the External Affairs Hall immediately changed his tune, grinning from ear to ear, and said, "So it's Junior Nephew Lin. What brings you this mission?"

"Isn't my junior disciple supposed to be preparing to enter the inner sect next month?"

Lin Shuangwan nodded in agreement: "Yes, I want to undergo one more training session before entering the inner sect."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Song Zhao beside her without any restraint.

She had her eye on Song Zhao from the moment he appeared in the Foreign Affairs Hall area.

For some reason, this old man, who was a handyman, gave her a strong sense of vitality, which aroused her great interest.

Song Zhao also sized up the female cultivator beside him.

She wasn't very tall, a head shorter than me, with her long hair casually tied up with a hairpin, a pure and innocent face, and wearing a knee-length blue shirt and skirt.

Hmm... not as broad-minded as the saintess...

Her foxy eyes, adorned with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, gave her an overall appearance that was both innocent and alluring.

"Senior Butler, may I accept this mission now?"

The external affairs steward ignored Song Zhao and continued to talk to Lin Shuangwan: "Junior nephew, do you think this menial servant is acceptable? He's quite old, and he still wants to become an outer disciple. That's just wishful thinking."

Lin Shuangwan suddenly smiled, her eyes sparkling, and said, "That depends on whether you can pass my test."

"A test? What kind of test?"

Song Zhao could see the current situation clearly; this female disciple surnamed Lin had considerable influence.

"Old servant, once you come to my cave, you'll know what the test is."

Lin Shuangwan glanced at Song Zhao, then turned to the steward and said, "I've accepted the task. Can I bring along any of the menial tasks I want?"

The steward pondered for a moment: "Logically speaking, that's how it should be. Nephew Lin, you can do whatever you want."

Lin Shuangwan nodded in satisfaction, her pale blue eyes fixed on Song Zhao: "If you really want to become an outer disciple, then come to my cave tonight for my test."

Song Zhao nodded and agreed: "Okay."

He didn't know what kind of test it was, but how would he know if it would work if he didn't try?

"Alright, see you at courtyard number 52 on Tianwu Peak tonight."

After saying that, Lin Shuangwan swayed her hips and left the Foreign Affairs Hall.

"See? The effects of the Dao Body are showing! Hahaha, I told you, this guy surnamed Lin is obviously lusting after your body!"

The witch's voice appeared in Song Zhao's mind.

Song Zhao withdrew his divine sense and stepped out of the outer hall: "Is the Primordial Yin-Yang Dao Body used to seduce women?"

"Sigh, that's too cliché. The Dao Body is meant to make you exude charm and become an exceptional man, drawing women to you without their consent, thus helping you achieve the perfection of the Dao Body," the witch explained.

The Primordial Yin-Yang Dao Body relies on gathering the primordial yin energy of female cultivators in the next realm to break through, but each level also has its strengths and weaknesses.

For example, Song Zhao is currently at the early stage of the first level of the Dao Body Realm, and his combat strength is estimated to be only at the ordinary ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, if he continues to cultivate the Yin and Yang in harmony and achieves the first level of Dao Body perfection, his combat power will reach the top level of Qi Refining Ninth Level, and he can kill an ordinary Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator with a single move.

"That's pretty much what I said..."

Song Zhao found this somewhat troublesome; he wasn't a lecherous person!

"Hehehe, you can think that way if you want. Anyway, what we demonic sects cultivate is the freedom of thought and doing whatever we want."

The witch smiled and said, "Besides, that Lin guy's identity is not simple."

Song Zhao nodded: "She's definitely not simple. Her residence is located near the front of Tianwu Peak, which is usually reserved for powerful inner disciples. She's just an outer disciple, so it's a special privilege."

Tianwu Peak is the main peak of the Tianwu Sect, and Su Fangyue lives in a cave at the front of Tianwu Peak.

"No, I mean her bloodline. She doesn't seem to be a pure-blooded human," the witch said quietly.

Song Zhao raised an eyebrow, somewhat uneasy, and said, "Then I'm being watched, isn't that dangerous?"

"Don't worry, her bloodline is probably more demonic, the same kind as you, so you don't need to be afraid." The witch licked her lips and continued, "Perhaps she can become your first true friend, and you two can cultivate together and cooperate."

Suppressing his unease, Song Zhao returned to the servants' hut.

He discovered that Ma Xiaoxian had promised to help him find a doctor, but they still hadn't found one.

"I hope nothing bad has happened?"

Song Zhao frowned, thinking that perhaps Ma Xiaoxian had already returned, but just hadn't told him.

Night fell quickly.

Following his memory and the markings, Song Zhao arrived at the No. 52 courtyard on Tianwu Peak.

Soon, the first test arrived.

Outside the villa, a large crowd had gathered, all holding items and waiting quietly.

These people were all menial disciples, and their cultivation levels were stuck at the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was enough to enter the outer sect.

"Hey? Old Song, are you here too to ask Fairy Lin for a mission?"

A servant came over, somewhat curious, and asked, "What gift did you bring to pay your respects to Fairy Lin?"

Song Zhao glanced at the somewhat familiar servant in front of him and shook his head, saying, "I didn't bring anything. Fairy Lin let me in for the assessment."

"Go in? You think you can come in without a gift?" A young servant beside him sneered. "Old man, if you didn't bring a gift, go back home. This isn't a place for you!"

Song Zhao glanced at the young servant, secretly memorizing his appearance, then turned back to the familiar servant and continued:

Why did everyone bring gifts?

The familiar-looking handyman joked, "Old Song, so you didn't know?"

"Didn't Fairy Lin accept a menial tasks assessment this morning?"

"When everyone heard the news, they all started making connections and preparing gifts, hoping to get Fairy Lin to give them a mission so they could become outer disciples."

"Look, I've prepared a youth-preserving pill; Fairy Lin should like it."

The servant opened the wooden box in his hand, and inside was a pill.

A pill to preserve youth? Is he saying that Fairy Lin is old?

Song Zhao was secretly puzzled, thinking that Fairy Lin would definitely not like the Youth Preservation Pill.

After learning the general situation, he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the front of the villa.

"Make way, make way!"

Song Zhao possessed a Daoist body and considerable strength. He forcefully squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the place closest to the courtyard.

The servants here all have a steady aura, and have been at least seven or eight years since they broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

They were stuck in menial jobs because they couldn't pass the task assessment.

"Old man, why are you squeezing so far forward? What gift did you bring?"

A servant nearby cast a hostile glance at him, fearing that Song Zhao's gifts would surpass his own.

Song Zhao shook his head: "I came empty-handed."

Did you come empty-handed?

The servants in the front row all focused their attention on Song Zhao, feeling quite puzzled.

You're disrespectful and yet you want to get tasks and become an outer disciple?

Just as they were about to make a sarcastic remark, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and a delicate-looking maid came in.

"The fairy said that for the mission to eliminate the wolf demon, only one person is allowed..."

These words caused an uproar among the servants, who felt that the chances were far too few.

The servant at the front immediately knelt down, holding up the gift box in his hand: "Fairy, I'm giving you a prototype of a spiritual artifact, just right for you to use when you enter the inner sect!"

"Fairy, the second-grade spiritual item I'm giving you, the White Jade with White Veins, can help you with your cultivation!" Another servant knelt down.

"Fairy, what I'm giving you is the Azure Spirit Pill, which can help you break through to the peak of Qi Refining!"

"Fairy, what I'm giving you is..."

The servants who brought valuables all knelt down, begging the people in the courtyard to accept their goods.

Song Zhao clicked his tongue in amazement, shocked by these items.

Those gifts aren't cheap; they cost several hundred spirit stones each. Where would they get so many spirit stones to buy them?

The maidservant from the other courtyard sighed and laughed, "You can all go back now. The fairy has already chosen her successor."

"Unofficial decision?"

The servant holding up the rudimentary magical artifact laughed loudly: "Could it be that the fairy already thought I had the makings of an immortal cultivator?"

The other servants were also filled with doubt and suspicion, wondering if they had been chosen by the fairy.

Just as everyone held their breath, the maid looked around and then asked a question.

"Excuse me, has the handyman Song Zhao arrived yet?"
