Ye Tianfan sat cross-legged in his room, thinking that he had offended the tyrant of the outer sect on his first day here, although it wasn't his fault, but ultimately because of his own tendency to be emotional and impulsive.

  But Ye Tianfan did not regret it, just as he said to the old man, if you are afraid of this and that, when you encounter difficulties, you will hide in the end, and you will really be ground into nothing.

  What is cultivation of truth? Cultivation of truth means to eliminate the false and retain the true. If a person is full of deceit inside and out, how can they walk far on the path of cultivating truth? Only by facing one's most authentic self can one remove the dross and extract the essence, finally transforming the power of heaven and earth for their own use. Of course, to achieve this point, at least one must reach the level of Mahayana cultivation.

  Having understood these things, Ye Tianfan felt that his understanding of the Heavenly Way had deepened again, and his realm had reached the middle stage of the Separation of Spirit. His divine consciousness had also grown significantly stronger. Although his cultivation hadn't improved much, the benefits were not small either. Firstly, with a higher realm, he could utilize his far superior understanding of the Heavenly Way to accelerate his cultivation speed. Secondly, the higher the realm, the lower the probability of going berserk and entering madness. Lastly, it was about the growth of his own strength. To put it simply, if someone could only wield an iron rod, how much strength could they exert? And if someone could use it with utmost mastery, how much strength would they exert then? Here, the role of divine consciousness was to more effectively utilize his True Yuan, bringing out its maximum effect despite being limited.

  Nor did he know if the leading brother was rushing to break through the Golden Elixir period and had no time to come, while his deceitful and timid younger brother knew that he couldn't beat Ye Tianfan and didn't dare to come. Anyway, Ye Tianfan waited for a month but still didn't see either of them arrive.

  While several people who entered with Ye Tianfan have gone to do external missions, after all, compulsory tasks are not so easy to complete.

  Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan also prepared to take a stroll and headed towards the pavilion where he could receive the task as introduced by that senior brother on the jade slip.

  After walking for a quarter of an hour, Ye Tianfan finally arrived at the task collection place. He saw disciples coming and going in twos and threes, some collecting tasks, while others were collecting points for completing tasks.

  To know that contribution points are the hard currency of a sect, if you want to learn skills, well, bring your contribution points and choose the skills you want. Of course, the premise is that you have enough contribution points. If you want elixirs or spiritual instruments, how can you get them? It all depends on contribution points. The more contribution points you have, the better elixirs you can get. You can also use spirit stones to exchange, but the exchange rate is not good and only sects can use it. Once you leave the sect, it's useless.

  Ye Tianfan saw several people walking in and followed the crowd into the Task Pavilion.

  Ye Tianfan entered and saw a few people lined up over there waiting for their turn, so he also went over to line up and wait. Before long, it was Ye Tianfan's turn.

  The person in charge of issuing tasks was a middle-aged man with two wisps of whiskers. At first glance, Ye Tianfan knew that this was a cunning and deceitful person, and it was likely that he had cheated his way into this position. Ye Tianfan didn't like people like this very much, and even felt some disgust, so he only said lightly: "I'm here to receive an outer sect task."

  The middle-aged man took a closer look at Ye Tianfan, as if confirming something. After confirming, he said in a cold tone: "Sorry, younger brother, there are no simple or general tasks left here. You can choose one from the difficult tasks yourself." He then took out a divine awareness jade slip and tossed it to Ye Tianfan.

  Ye Tianfan caught it and his consciousness sank into it to take a look. After finishing, he couldn't help but sink into contemplation in his heart. Although this person was not enthusiastic about people before, he didn't seem too cold either. It seemed that he hadn't offended him. He had only been here for a month, and except for those few who came to rob the crowd of protection fees, he hadn't seen anyone else.

  It dawned on Ye Tianfan that it must be those people he had offended who wanted to find that inner sect disciple, but that inner sect disciple was definitely in seclusion and couldn't come. However, those people wanted to make him uneasy, so they thought of ways to deal with him. In the end, they must have thought of the rule that outer sect disciples must complete a task within three months, and the difficult task for outer sect disciples was that even Golden Dan cultivators might get injured. Ye Tianfan just didn't expect their hands to be so long, controlling even the sect's tasks.

  Actually, Ye Tianfan had misjudged the few people who had already reached out to him. To be honest, they had spent a lot of money to arrange these difficult tasks for Ye Tianfan. Because the official in charge of assigning external missions also had a powerful backer, and it was even more formidable than the background of the few people, so they could only try to bribe the official.

  The steward is also quite happy now, after all, he only needs to do something insignificant to get a windfall, thinking that the few people will give those spirit stones and other things to him with a painful look in their eyes, and his gaze at Ye Tianfan also has a hint of gratitude.

  Ye Tianfan naturally didn't know what this person was thinking, but his gaze towards the executor became even colder, wanting to quickly leave this place.

  "If you've made your choice, then hurry up and register, don't waste other people's time, there are still people waiting behind you." The unpleasant voice of the officer sounded again.

  Ye Tianfan had always wanted to get away from here, so he casually chose one and said: "This one will do, help me register it."

  The deacon looked at the task Ye Tianfan had chosen and sneered, "Looks like you're looking to die. This task is the most difficult one in here, nearly ten people have failed already. I was thinking of transferring it to the inner door tasks later, but since you've taken this task, you can't change to another one now. It doesn't matter if I hand it in a bit late." From his tone, Ye Tianfan basically had no chance of completing this task.

  Ye Tianfan was too lazy to argue with him, so he took the task and left. Instantly, it attracted the discussion of others who came to hand over tasks, and soon the entire outer door disciples knew about it.

  "Have you heard? Recently, some of the new outer sect disciples have taken on tasks that could have been upgraded to inner sect tasks. Isn't this just asking for trouble?" a well-meaning person said.

  "It's indeed, nowadays young people are becoming more and more ignorant of the heavens and the earth." A person who didn't seem that old to a cultivator said with a pretentious tone.

  In short, no matter how you look at it, everyone thinks Ye Tianfan won't be able to complete the task. If he can even escape with his life, that would be good enough. After all, how could Ye Tianfan possibly compare to a Golden Dan cultivator? This is something that even Golden Dan cultivators can't accomplish.

  Those who hid in the corner and eavesdropped on Ye Tianfan's scolding would smile to themselves, thinking that this time the bribe given to the person in charge of the outer gate mission was not wasted.

  Ye Tianfan returned to the house and took another look at the task jade slip, discovering that this task had a lot of points, a full thousand, which was quite high. After all, generally speaking, simple tasks usually only had ten to one hundred points, ordinary tasks only had one hundred to five hundred points, and difficult tasks naturally had five hundred to one thousand points. Ye Tianfan's could be said to be the highest scoring task outside the sect.
