Chapter 24: Exchanging Tasks

  "How's that, everything is clear now, do you have any last words to say?" Ren Tianxing's voice rang out, interrupting Ye Tianfan's thoughts, and it was obvious that this guy named Ren Tianxing already felt like he had the upper hand.

  Ye Tianfan didn't answer him, but instead said: "No wonder I felt like there were eyes staring at me all the way, and with my mere Foundation Establishment stage spiritual sense, I couldn't detect it. It turns out that you, a Golden Dan stage cultivator, have been following us from behind all along. But why are you so ruthless, not even sparing people who have nothing to do with this matter?"

  "Haha, you're referring to those outer sect disciples, right? They're just errand boys for the sect, nothing more. When there's no conflict, they're fine, but as soon as there is, they're just cannon fodder. I'm doing them a favor by ending their misery early, what's wrong with that? Who knows, maybe they'll even thank me."

  For someone whose mind has become so distorted, Ye Tianfan naturally wouldn't show any mercy. The next moment, Ye Tianfan's cultivation base comparable to that of a mid-stage Deity appeared.

  "You... how is it possible... that you are a cultivator of the Split Spirit Period!" Ren Tianxing stuttered, revealing his inner turmoil at this moment.

  However, Ye Tianfan no longer had any reservations and killed it with one move. He then took the opportunity to kill this demon beast as well. Afterwards, he quickly changed his cultivation to resemble that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He didn't dare reveal his true cultivation randomly, after all, there were Loose Immortal-level old monsters in the sect. If he was discovered, it wouldn't be good. As for changing his cultivation from mid-stage Foundation Establishment to late-stage, it was also because he would have to face possible Golden Core inner disciples when he returned to the sect. His breakthrough in cultivation could also be attributed to the sudden inspiration he gained while dealing with this demon beast.

  After capturing the man and beast, Ye Tianfan put the demon beast into a storage bag issued by his sect, then took away Ren Tianxing's storage ring. He set fire to the cave with a fireball technique before quickly leaving. After all, this place was smelly and dirty, and Ye Tianfan would have left early if he hadn't been trying to get to the bottom of things.

  After leaving, Ye Tianfan returned to where he rested yesterday and prepared to sort out the things he got from Ren Tianhang today.

  Ye Tianfan emptied everything from his storage ring, and a large number of miscellaneous items were seen inside. There were various low-level martial arts manuals, low-grade spiritual instruments, as well as all sorts of women's undergarments. The entire storage space, which was only about four or five square meters in size, was almost completely filled up.

  Ye Tianfan wasn't particularly interested in the other things within the ring. The only thing he was interested in was the secret manual of the Cultivation Method. After all, the more Cultivation Methods he obtained, the more perfect his own Cultivation Method would be. A towering building starts from the ground, and only with a stronger foundation can one's path to cultivating the truth be longer. Otherwise, it will just be a fleeting moment, flashing its brilliance for an instant before disappearing.

  Ye Tianfan was satisfied with engraving all the techniques in the ring and decided to return and hand over the task.

  This time, Ye Tianfan's speed was much faster than when he came, and he arrived at his residence before dark, rather than taking nearly a day and night like last time. As the sky was almost dark, Ye Tianfan feared that the executive would no longer be there, so he did not immediately go to hand over the task, but instead returned home to rest.

  Ye Tianfan didn't know that the news of his mission failure had already spread throughout the outer sect, and everyone believed it. After all, if he had completed it, why wouldn't he go to hand in the task, but instead returned to rest in his room?

  The next day, everyone thought that Ye Tianfan, who should have been pale and thin, came out of the house with a clear mind and spirit, which made people who wanted to see the excitement feel a sense of surprise in their hearts, thinking that Ye Tianfan's mental endurance was too strong, having failed the first task yet acting as if nothing had happened.

  No one thought Ye Tianfan could complete this task, after all it was too unrealistic. To know that in the past, people who wanted to complete the task were invincible figures who had traveled everywhere outside, but in the end they still failed. This matter shocked the entire outer gate, although in the end it was only treated as a joke after dinner, but everyone knew how difficult it was.

  Ye Tianfan ignored the onlookers and walked towards the pavilion where the task was being handed over. Everyone saw Ye Tianfan's direction and thought that this was the way to hand over the task. One person couldn't help but be curious and followed him, and everyone else followed suit.

  As soon as Ye Tianfan arrived at the Task Tower, the cunning task issuer who had been annoying him was also looking at Ye Tianfan with a surprised expression.

  "Could he have really completed the task? It's truly unbelievable!" As soon as Ye Tianfan actually walked into the Task Pavilion, the outside erupted in an uproar.

  Ye Tianfan saw the surprised gaze of the executive, but didn't say anything and ignored his gaze. Instead, he casually took out the poisonous beast from his storage bag and handed it over for inspection. He said: "This is the only poisonous beast I saw inside. Its extreme toxicity has a great impact on those in the foundation-building period. I think others failed to complete their tasks because of its toxic effects, which made them slow and clumsy. If I hadn't eaten something that strengthened my resistance to toxins before, I might have also failed." Ye Tianfan casually came up with an excuse to avoid trouble.

  However, this did not arouse the suspicion of the cunning steward and onlookers, but rather a face that should be so, thinking that this is the answer they wanted, or the reason to comfort themselves.

  "Not bad, it's really surprising that you've completed this task, but next time you won't be so lucky. Hand over your identity jade card and I'll record the points on it." The official said gruffly. Obviously, he was in a terrible mood now, after all, he had said it couldn't be done, but it was done anyway, wasn't that a slap in his face? It's just that luck was too good, how come other people's luck was so bad that they didn't even have a chance to escape."

  However, this cunning steward would not let things go so easily. After Ye Tianfan handed over his identity jade card, the steward said: "Since you're so lucky, why don't you take on some more tasks? What do you think? One thousand points may seem like a lot, but if you want to get your hands on a secret recipe or something, it's actually quite little. Even an ordinary foundation-building technique costs at least nearly a thousand points to exchange for, and the better ones cost at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. And when the time comes, you won't have any points, so all you can do is look on enviously, right?" Only after saying these words did the steward begin to engrave the points onto Ye Tianfan's identity jade card, clearly wanting to use this opportunity to make Ye Tianfan think carefully about it.

  Ye Tianfan fell into deep thought after hearing the steward's words. Others didn't know his purpose for coming here, but he was crystal clear about it - he came to borrow more advanced secret skills and techniques, which would require a large number of points. Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan had already made up his mind.
