Quickly, a towering pavilion appeared in Shi Ling's eyes, and without saying a word, Shi Ling ran in. Compared to Myriad Treasures Pavilion, most of the people who could come here were either trial disciples or honorary disciples, and occasionally, there were even one or two official disciples. Basically, all of the disciples from outer sect would come here to receive missions.

Why? According to Shi Ling's current status as a service disciple, he could only receive the salary of ten gold coins per month. After becoming a visiting disciple, although the salary was still the same and there was no change, the difference was that one person had already become a member of the outer sect disciples, and the other was still a laborer, with a different status within the sect.

At that time, the monthly salary would increase to 20 gold coins, which was twice as much as the monthly salary, and Shi Ling also wanted to participate in the assessment competition. As long as he could obtain a good ranking in the assessment competition, he would be able to directly enter the ranks of the trial disciples.

Above the trial disciples were honorary disciples. As long as a disciple reached this level, besides receiving the monthly salary of 50 gold coins, they would also receive resources from the sect. Above that, there would be official disciples, which was when Shi Ling was at his peak.

The monthly salary of a formal disciple could reach a hundred gold coins, and they could also enjoy a cultivation abode given by the sect. For example, Chen Lu from before was at this level, but her abode was much better than other official disciples'.

Moreover, there was still the competition to participate in. After reaching the official disciple level, one would basically be at the peak of the inner sect's outer sect, and at that time, the treatment one would be able to enjoy would be another type of heaven and earth.

However, before this, every disciple had to continuously complete missions in order to be promoted to the next rank. This was not only because of the requirements of the sect, but also because the disciples had to continuously accept missions in order to get a decent amount of income. Otherwise, they would starve to death just by relying on the small amount of money the sect had given them.

When Shi Ling entered the Garden Pavilion, he saw that there was no one here. It seemed that not long after he opened the door, his gaze swept across the four counters at the scene.

There were different levels of difficulty for missions within the Garden Pavilion. From low to high, they were, ten gold ranks, one hundred gold ranks, thousand gold ranks, and ten thousand gold ranks. The lower the level of the mission, the higher the level of the mission, and the higher the difficulty of the mission.

At this moment, Shi Ling walked towards the 10 gold level counter. This wasn't because Shi Ling was scared and didn't dare to accept higher level missions, it was mainly because Shi Ling didn't go out to do missions this time, but to secretly cultivate. Therefore, he just needed to choose a lower level mission, and there was no need to be too serious.

Shi Ling came in front of the counter, and suddenly, a little sister wearing a green yarn dress entered Shi Ling's eyes. She looked to be in her early twenties, was fair and beautiful, belonged to the standard oval face, and looked like a next-door sister. At the moment, she was sitting in front of the counter with a stack of jade plate s filling in something.

After Xu Qing heard someone was coming over, she looked up and saw Shi Ling standing in front of the counter. Xu Qing smiled professionally and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Shi Ling said, "I'm here to take a mission."

Shi Ling's words clearly stated the purpose of his visit. When Xu Qing heard Shi Ling's words, she couldn't help but giggle. Why? Because, she saw that Shi Ling was wearing a servant's uniform, and said: "Little brother, have you ever been on the Garden Pavilion Registration List before?"

Shi Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I have. I have been registering for a long time. Here, take a look at my signboard."

Saying that, Shi Ling took out the signboard that he had registered when he was an official disciple and showed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing took it and after confirming that there was no mistake, she looked at Shi Ling in surprise and said: "You're Shi Ling, right?"

Shi Ling nodded. Xu Qing, on the other hand, was filling out a list with her pen while asking, "Is this your first time accepting a mission?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "No."

Xu Qing continued to ask, "How many missions? "What level are they all at?"

Shi Ling thought for a while and said, "Three missions, two of them are at the gold level and one of them is at the gold level."

Hearing that, Xu Qing suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Ling in shock. She revealed an expression of disbelief and said, "How much? Two hundred gold ranks, one thousand gold ranks? "

Shi Ling nodded and said, "What's wrong?" Is there a problem? "

Xu Qing realized that she seemed to have lost her composure. She couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm sorry, but I'm just a little surprised."

Saying that, he carefully looked at Shi Ling and said: "Two gold level missions and one gold level mission should be enough to push you to the honorary disciple level, right? "Why is he still a handyman?"

Shi Ling said embarrassedly, "About this, it's all in the past."

Seeing that Shi Ling was embarrassed to say it, Xu Qing did not ask any further and immediately added, "Alright, just put your stamp on this form."

As she said that, Xu Qing took out a jade plate. Shi Ling looked at it and then extended a finger. Fa Li lingered around it as he pointed at the jade plate, leaving a fingerprint pattern on it.

At this time, Xu Qing brought the thing back and then gave Shi Ling a jade plate. She said: "Here, this is your mission, jade plate."

Shi Ling took it and looked. This time, his mission was to find a 500 year old Fangs Tiger and collect its hair. The reward was 70 gold coins with a picture book of a Fangs Tiger attached to it.

Xu Qing smiled at Shi Ling and said, "Little brother Shi Ling, sister will remind you that the sect won't take responsibility if something happens to disciple while he is doing a task outside the sect."

Shi Ling nodded his head to show that he understood and then looked towards the bottom corner of the jade plate. That place was marked as having a task time of one month, which meant, if Shi Ling did not finish the mission within a month, then even if the mission was invalid, even if Shi Ling retrieved the item, he would not be able to get any reward money.

"Alright, I'll be going then."

Xu Qing, on the other hand, looked at Shi Ling's back and revealed a smiling expression. At this moment, on the other counter, a pretty little sister said to Xu Qing, "Hey, Xu Qing, do you know that handsome young man from before?"

Xu Qing tilted her head and looked at her. "I don't know her. What's wrong?"

The little sister smiled and said, "You seem to be quite considerate towards him, and you even deliberately went to remind him."

Xu Qing laughed, "No, he was just a rash kid who dared to come here to take a mission with that little bit of strength. That's why I reminded him, don't die outside, just now he dared to say that he had taken a Thousand Gold rank mission, so he was not afraid of being laughed to death by others. So, I gave him the most difficult mission I have here, to see how he would die then."

However, the little sister smiled and said, "I don't think so."

Xu Qing looked at her and said, "What is it? "Don't tell me your slut fancies him?"

The elder sister laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about!?" However, do you dare to make a bet with me? "

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment before she asked, "What are we betting on?"

The elder sister said, "If he doesn't die outside and he returns after completing his mission, what should we do?"

Xu Qing said angrily, "Then I'll kiss him in front of all the outer sect disciples!"

However, the little sister giggled and said, "Oh, he seems quite confident?"

Xu Qing said, "However, if you lose, you must give me the perfume you bought at Myriad Treasures Pavilion."

The elder sister immediately gave a humph and said, "You really know how to talk big."

Xu Qing said, "Then do you want to bet or not?"

The elder sister said, "Of course, why not?"

In her opinion, as long as she could see Xu Qing being humiliated, anything was worth it. In Xu Qing's eyes, Shi Ling would never be able to come back, even if he did, he would definitely be covered in injuries and would not be able to complete the mission.

She knew that if she wanted to find the Fangs Tiger's hair, she could only do so inside the Fangs Tiger's territory. However, the consciousness of the Fangs Tiger's territory was extremely strong, so not to mention finding the Fangs Tiger's hair at Shi Ling's level of cultivation, even if she let him get close, it would be impossible to get close to it.

Xu Qing was elated when she thought of the perfume that her little sister had bought for a huge sum of money.

"..."

On the other side, Shi Ling, who had received the jade plate, looked at the mission from above as he walked. Bai Xiaosheng, who was beside him, said: "Your Spirit Sword Sect taking a mission is really troublesome."

Shi Ling said, "There's no trouble, no trouble. We still have to go through the necessary procedures. Oh, by the way, Bai Xiaosheng, how do you think we should deal with these 500 year old Fangs Tiger?"

Bai Xiaosheng said disdainfully: "On the surface, its defensive power is very high, its speed is fast, its power is fierce, and its territorial awareness is strong. Although it's only a low level Demonic Beast, but with your current strength, you still need to be careful."

Shi Ling suddenly asked, "If we use Yang Fire to deal with this beast, would it be useful?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "Then it will be instantly burnt to ashes. What are you going to take it for?"

Bai Xiaosheng said, "When the time comes, just use the Yin Fire to deal with it, without affecting its physical strength, we can kill it in one move. So, we can deal with it in the last few days of the one month limit, so we have to go out to cultivate this time and not waste any time because of these trivial things."

Shi Ling agreed, then stored the things and walked towards the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Before leaving the sect, some necessary preparations were needed. After all, what if there were any special circumstances?

After entering the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Shi Ling bought another twenty mature Stellar Source Fruit, twenty detonate talismans, and ten high rank Wishing Spirit Bead. He spent a total of fourteen hundred gold coins, and now, Shi Ling only had forty-five hundred gold coins.

After getting everything ready, Shi Ling left the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and walked out of the mountain gate. However, what Shi Ling did not notice was that behind him, a figure appeared, it was Yan Wuping. He looked in the direction that Shi Ling left in a daze, his face revealing a bit of shock, and muttered to himself: "Shi Ling? Those people that Third Young Master sent out last time didn't kill him? "

Thinking of this, Yan Wuping turned around and left. He wanted to tell Zhang Yusheng about this now.

On Shi Ling's side, when he arrived at the entrance of the mountain, they let Shi Ling pass after handing the jade plate mission over to the guards to confirm that there was no mistake. Shi Ling followed the instructions on the jade plate and headed towards the forest where the Fangs Tiger frequently appeared.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Shi Ling, after we arrive at the forest, find a hidden cave and train for the night. We will start learning afterimages and kill on the second day."

Towards Bai Xiaosheng, who was a resourceful star, Shi Ling usually did not doubt his words, because in Shi Ling's eyes, this guy seemed to understand everything. He could tell you the advantages and disadvantages of any kind of animal.

Shi Ling couldn't help but look at Bai Xiaosheng. With such a deep belly, he had to face the image of a book. Seeing Shi Ling looking at him with ill intentions, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "No, I was just thinking, your name is Bai Xiaosheng, but why is it that the cover of the book has the Devil Vault Encyclopedia written on it?"

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, his eyes slightly shifted and he said with some annoyance, "The Devil's Lodge is my real body, and Bai Xiaosheng is my real name. The relationship between us is like magic tools and artifact spirits."

Just when he wanted to ask something else, Bai Xiaosheng said: "Stop, there's something about me now, you don't need to ask any more, because even if you ask, I won't tell you, understand?"

Shi Ling saw the guy was disgusted with him asking such things, so he curled his lips and said, "Got it."

Soon, Shi Ling entered the mountain. He looked around and found a small cave covered in weeds at the foot of the mountain. The concealment was not bad and it was just enough for one person to stay inside.

Shi Ling went in without a word. After sealing the entrance, he started to cultivate with his legs crossed.
