Chapter 39 New Mission

Lin Tinglan took the Hidden Peak Sword out of his spatial storage and handed it to Gu Jinhe, saying, "I'll give you seven days. If you can't make it recognize you as its master, then return it to me."

Gu Jinhe quickly took it, stroked the blade with his hand, and nodded with delight, saying, "I've got it."

She sheathed her sword, then, remembering the pills and magical artifacts she had just seen, and thinking about the 150 points she owed Zhou Yue, she couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, are there any missions with higher point requirements?"

"The points you can get from missions within the sect are all roughly the same. If you want more points, you can consider missions outside the sect."

As Lin Tinglan spoke, she flipped through the booklet recording the tasks and finally placed it on the counter.

Seeing Gu Jinhe lean closer to look, he said, "There's a mission coming up recently, but it requires at least three disciples at the first level of Qi Refining to accompany you."

Gu Jinhe fixed her gaze on the mission details section—

Recently, a monster has been attacking Tieping Village, wantonly destroying farmland and harming villagers. We hope the immortal sect can provide assistance.

The person who called for help was the village chief of Tieping Village.

"This Tieping Village is located at the foot of the mountain outside the Qingyun Sect and is protected by the sect. Elder Chen has investigated and found that it is only caused by some low-level demonic beasts. Sending three disciples is more than enough."

After giving a brief introduction to the task, Lin Tinglan looked at Gu Jinhe with eager eyes.

"My senior brother seems to really want me to take on this mission." Gu Jinhe's lips twitched, and he spoke bluntly.

Lin Tinglan grinned, not bothering to hide anything: "After all, I get a points bonus when you complete the mission!"

"I see." Gu Jinhe suddenly understood, but instead of accepting the task immediately, she asked another question: "Senior brother, how many points are there for this task?"

Lin Tinglan held up one finger.

"One hundred points?"

Seeing Lin Tinglan shake her head, Gu Jinhe guessed again: "Since there are three people, does that mean each person gets a hundred?"

Lin Tinglan shook her head, giving up on making her guess, and said, "One thousand points each."

"One... one thousand?" Zhou Yue looked incredulous upon hearing this number. Only those of them who had painstakingly earned over a hundred points knew the true value of a thousand points.

Gu Jinhe was clearly also somewhat tempted.

However, such a high score also means a relatively higher risk factor.

Gu Jinhe hesitated for only a moment before making up her mind: "Senior brother, I'll take this mission."

Zhou Yue also raised her hand and said, "Count me in too."

But one person is still missing...

Lin Tinglan was in no hurry, and only instructed, "In that case, wait until you have three people before coming here to find me, but be quick!"

Of course, the sooner we set off on this mission, the better. The longer we are delayed, the greater the damage the monsters will cause to the village.

The two men naturally understood the importance of time, and after agreeing, they left the miscellaneous affairs hall.

If the problem isn't resolved, it will stay on your mind.

So much so that even on their way back, they were still wondering where to find a replacement.

Gu Jinhe had only been in the sect for a few days and knew very few people. Apart from Senior Sister Zhou, she really couldn't think of anyone else to look for.

Turning her head and seeing Zhou Yue deep in thought, Gu Jinhe couldn't help but ask, "Does Senior Sister have any ideas about the third person for the mission outside the sect?"

"To reach the first level of Qi Refining, it's best to be obedient and intelligent. I know three people who meet these two requirements, but I don't know which one to choose."

Upon learning that Zhou Yue had someone in mind, Gu Jinhe stopped hesitating and simply said, "Senior Sister, please choose whatever you like!"

She then stopped and said to Zhou Yue, "Senior Sister, I still need to go to the alchemy room."

Doing an off-site mission means she will be leaving the sect soon and won't be able to go to the alchemy room for a long time. She needs to say goodbye to Senior Sister Xu.
