Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

This is really difficult.

As an elder of the Enforcement Hall, Yuan Tian Sheng Zong also assigned him many tasks.

However, as a self-employed individual who prefers to stay put, he has become a hands-off manager.

It still has to be Elder Yan Buyu, the best and most reliable old ox in the entire Law Enforcement Hall.

At the same time, he also created a new identity for himself so that he could take on tasks within the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect that belonged to the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, if you're always taking on high-level missions, you're bound to lose your life sooner or later.

It's better to start with the beginner quests. After all, there's no master to back you up now; you have to do it yourself.

"You're a new disciple? Lu Ping?"

The elder of the Mission Hall held a token and gave Lu An a strange look.

"Exactly."

"You're a new inner disciple? I've never seen you before."

The elder of the Mission Hall looked at the token that Lu An brought, sized Lu An up again, and asked curiously.

After all, most of the inner disciples in the Yuan Tian Sheng Sect would come to him to accept missions, so he recognized many of them.

This was something he had never seen before.

"I have been in seclusion and rarely come out of the mountains, so I don't make many public appearances."

"This token of yours... then who is your master?"

“My…my master…”

Lu An hadn't figured out what to say yet, since the token was given to him by the sect.

"If Elder Lu wants to take on a disciple, this is the disciple-taking token."

These were the words Yu Wanqing said to him at the time.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, the elder turned the token over and used his spiritual power to touch it. A single character lit up from the empty back of the token.

land.

"Your token has the character 'Lu' written on the back. Is your master's surname Lu?"

"Indeed, Elder, you have a keen eye."

Lu An was stunned. How come there were words on the back of this token? He hadn't even noticed them.

"Lu... Let me think, does our Yuantian Sacred Sect have any elders with the surname Lu?"

“There’s one, he just came in,” a member of the Mission Hall replied.

"Just came in? Then it's probably nothing... wait, just came in...?"

The elder turned his head and gave Lu An another strange look.

"That's right, it's Elder Lu An, who crossed the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning in Ping'an City, fought against the Ancient Thunder Dragon, and whose strength is unparalleled throughout history!"

Snapped!

"Quickly bring over a stool! How can we let Elder Lu's beloved disciple sit here?!"

Suddenly, the elder stood up, called for someone to bring a stool, and then warmly invited Lu An to sit down.

Following the elder's instructions, the disciples from the mission hall quickly brought over stools and even massaged Lu An's shoulders and legs.

Lu An was filled with questions, wondering why he was being treated this way.

Is it really true that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven?

What's with the fight against the Ancient Thunder Dragon and the crossing of the Nine Heavens Purple Lightning?

What kind of rumors are circulating outside now?

Good things happen to you while you're at home.

"You're Elder Lu's disciple? But I don't recall ever hearing that Elder Lu has ever taken on a disciple!" the elder exclaimed in shock.

"Uh... My master is a very low-key person... I mean, when it comes to accepting disciples, so no one knows that I have become his disciple."

"Oh, is that so? Does your master still have plans to take on disciples?"

"I don't know either, but what do you mean by this, Elder?"

"Haha, my surname is Song. If there's nothing else, you can call me Uncle Song in private. Don't keep calling me Elder, it's too polite."

Elder Song laughed heartily, then waved his hand, signaling to the disciple beside him, and a cup of fragrant tea was quickly brought over.

"Have some tea first, this is the finest Longmingxiang! I specially got it from Longming Valley, I wouldn't have been able to get it if the Valley Master wasn't my brother-in-law!"

Elder Song personally served the fragrant tea to Lu An, his attitude being as kind as could be.

The fragrance emanating from the tea called Longmingxiang actually invigorated Lu An.

He's already at the Nascent Soul stage, yet this thing still gives him this feeling; it must really be a good thing.

"Why are you giving me this kind of tea? I'm not my master, I can't accept this!"

"Hey, Elder Lu is a rising star in our Yuantian Holy Sect, and a powerful figure in the Righteous Path Alliance. You're his disciple, so naturally things are different!"

They've arrived, and the reputation is established.

"These things were done by my master, and have nothing to do with me. I just want to take on a mission right now."

"Hey, missions and stuff, that's easy to talk about. I want to talk to you about a few things."

Elder Song said earnestly.

"Elder Song, please speak quickly if you have something to say."

Elder Song cleared his throat and said, "Ahem... I have a daughter, who is one hundred and twenty years old..."

"!?"

Lu An was shocked upon hearing this.

One hundred and twenty years old? What the heck?

Is 120 years old considered a beautiful age?

However, he quickly calmed down.

After all, in this kind of world, 120 years old is not considered old.

She remains unmarried to this day.

Lu An immediately became alert.

Are you trying to get me to set up a match for myself?

Lu An wasn't afraid of being exposed as the same person, because he had exchanged contribution points from the Righteous Alliance for a human skin mask, which allowed him to disguise himself as someone else.

He is completely different now from the person he was before.

So Lu An hurriedly said, "Elder Song, if you are talking about marriage and want me to act as a matchmaker, then you should give up on that idea. My master is not really interested in discussing children right now."

"No, no, no, fellow Daoist, you're overthinking it. That's not what I meant at all. How could we possibly dare to? Elder Lu's position is too high for us to reach!" Elder Song addressed Lu An directly as "fellow Daoist," which shows how much he valued him.

"What does Elder Song mean?"

"My little girl, after she entered the sect, according to the selection stone and the sect's decision, was to become Elder Yanran's disciple, but she has been stuck at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage and has been unable to break through for a long time."

"Then Elder Yanran's Dao Heart was shattered by her former fiancé because of the annulment of her engagement some time ago, and her cultivation level dropped drastically. I guess my daughter won't make any progress under her tutelage either," Elder Song said with great sorrow.

"Hmm? And then...? You mean?"

Lu An seemed to understand what Elder Song was trying to say.

"I wonder if this fellow Daoist could do me a favor and introduce my daughter to Elder Lu's tutelage?"

Just as I thought, they're looking to change their base of operations.

“This matter is of great importance, and I need to consult my master. However, judging from my observations of him these past few days, he doesn’t seem to be very keen on taking on a disciple.”

"Well, I've heard that Elder Lu doesn't like taking on disciples, but since you've become Elder Lu's disciple, it means that we can talk about it to some extent."

"This matter is of great importance. I need to go back and consult my master. Right now, I just want to accept a mission."

"Alright, alright! Then I'll await your good news, fellow Daoist!"

"Someone, bring me the best mission... Wait, what level of mission does this fellow Daoist desire?"

"My cultivation level isn't very high; I'll be fine if I can do the first or second level of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Fellow Daoist is actually at the Nascent Soul stage? No, I'm just surprised. I'm at the sixth level of the Void Refinement stage, and you're at the Nascent Soul stage. I can't even see through your cultivation level!" Elder Song was extremely surprised, but he still called for someone to come over.

"The cultivation technique my master gave me is extraordinary; it can automatically conceal one's cultivation level, so..." Lu An began to make up a story.

"I understand, I understand..."

The disciple delivered a row of mission notices, but it was clear that there weren't many missions available for those at the first or second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang of Xuanfu Sect has lost a pet and needs to be searched for."

Lu An glanced at it and thought the task seemed pretty good; he might even encounter some opportunities along the way.

As a newbie who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, it's better to choose this kind of task as it's easier to get by.

Then he looked back.

"The lost pet is a dragon-horned cat with a Nascent Soul level 6 cultivation. The reward is 1000 Yuan Tian Sheng Zong contribution points, 400 Zheng Dao Alliance contribution points, and 50 mid-grade spirit stones of your choice."

So Lu An stopped looking at it.

A sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, you want him to go? Good heavens, isn't that going to kill him?

Next one, next one.

Chapter 175 Choosing a Mission is Really Difficult

"There is a suspected spiritual treasure in Suyuan Mountain, or perhaps an ancient cave dwelling has emerged. It requires cultivators at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation stages to investigate. The difficulty of the mission is unknown, but cultivators at the Void Refinement stage can also go."

"Task rewards: 5,000 contribution points from Yuan Tian Sheng Zong, 1,200 contribution points from Zheng Dao Alliance, and 300 high-grade spirit stones. Choose one of the three."

This kind of mission looks very dangerous. What if there's something bad hidden inside? Wouldn't that be terrible?

Lu An was really scared. The Shi family's affairs were already ridiculous enough. What if a Transcending Tribulation old monster suddenly appeared in this mission?

Life is more important.

Some of these tasks were assigned by their own sects, while others were requested by outsiders to be done by the Yuan Tian Sheng Zong.

After all, Yuan Tian Sheng Zong is a major sect, so naturally many people come to seek its help.

Moreover, the quality of cultivators outside is far inferior to that of the Yuan Tian Holy Sect.

The cultivators who are disliked within the Yuan Tian Sacred Sect are all powerful figures outside.

Moreover, Lu An had also heard that although the Golden Core stage was extremely rare in the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, Nascent Soul stage cultivators were everywhere, Divine Transformation stage cultivators were as rare as dogs, and Void Refinement stage cultivators were also plentiful.

However, in the outside world, as long as one is not in the core city of a dynasty, a Nascent Soul cultivator is already considered a powerful figure in the eyes of others.

At the Golden Core stage, one can dominate a small area, call oneself a True Person, and establishing a sect is not a problem at all.

That's how some small sects came to be.

After all, it's not easy for independent cultivators to cultivate immortality, and most of the major resources are occupied by sects like Lu An's.

Therefore, to obtain great protection, one needs to make offerings.

This is commonly known as paying protection money.

If a sect is a bourgeois class, then the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Yuan Tian Holy Sect, where Lu An once served, were the true grand bourgeoisie.

That's right, the Yuan Tian Holy Sect is the exploitative class in this world that takes advantage of others.

But how can a sect that cultivates immortality talk about exploitation?

That's called offering sacrifices.

It is reasonable for the weak to offer tribute to the strong in order to seek protection.

"Rewards for collecting various unique martial arts techniques will be determined based on the practicality and rarity of the techniques."

"Note: Don't bring in just any kind of garbage, especially things like the 'can't sleep without closing your eyes' method. If you try to fool us with this kind of garbage again, we'll put you on the Mission Hall's blacklist next time."
