Soon enough, a towering pavilion appeared before Shi Ling's eyes, and he immediately ran into it. Compared to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the people who were able to come here were mostly trial disciples or honorary disciples. Occasionally, there were even one or two official disciples, and basically, all of the outer disciples would come here to receive missions.

Why? According to his current status as a janitor disciple of Shi Ling, he could only receive ten gold coins per month. After becoming a janitor disciple, although the salary would still be the same and there would be no change, the difference was that one person had already become an outer disciple, while 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. As for Shi Ling, he also wanted to participate in the test, as long as he could obtain a good ranking in the test, he would be able to directly enter the ranks of the trial disciples.

Above the disciples in the trial were the 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. Those above this level would become official disciples.

Becoming an official disciple could earn one hundred gold coins per month, and she could also enjoy a cultivation abode given by the sect. Morning Dew, for example, was on this level, but her abode was much better than other official disciples' abode.

Moreover, there was still the test to participate in the competition. After reaching the official disciple level, one would be at the peak of the outer sect, and at the last step, one would be able to enter the inner sect. At that time, one would be able to enjoy a completely different kind of treatment.

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 pavilion, he saw that there weren't many people here. It was likely that not long after he opened the door, his gaze swept across the four counters at the scene.

From low to high, they were, in order, 10 gold level, 100 gold level, 1000 gold level, and 10,000 gold level. The lower the difficulty of the missions, the higher the level, and the higher the difficulty of the missions.

This did not mean that Shi Ling was cowardly and did not dare to accept higher level missions. The main reason was because Shi Ling had not gone out to complete missions, but had gone out to secretly cultivate. Therefore, he could choose lower level missions and did not need to be too serious.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with fair skin and a pretty face that was like a goose egg. She had the feeling of a neighbor sister, and right now, she was sitting in front of the counter, holding a stack of jade slips and filling in something in her hands. Beside the counter, there was a sign that introduced her to Xu Qing.

When Xu Qing heard that someone had come over, she raised her head and saw Shi Ling standing at the counter. She smiled professionally and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

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

With a single sentence, Shi Ling made his intentions clear. When Xu Qing heard his words, she couldn't help but giggle. Why? Because, she noticed that Shi Ling was wearing the uniform of a servant. She asked, "Little brother, have you registered with the pavilion before?"

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

As he spoke, he took out the signboard that he had registered when he was still an official disciple and showed it to Xu Qing. Xu Qing took it, and after confirming that there was no mistake, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Your name is Shi Ling, right?"

As for Xu Qing, she was filling out a list with a pen as she asked, "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 pondered for a moment before saying, "I've accepted three missions, two of them are at the gold level and one is at the gold level."

When Xu Qing heard this, she lifted her head and looked at Shi Ling in shock. A look of disbelief appeared on her face as she said, "How much?" Two hundred gold ranks, one thousand gold ranks? "

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

At this moment, Xu Qing realized that she seemed to have lost her composure. She couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Sorry, I was just a bit surprised."

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

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

Seeing that Shi Ling was embarrassed, Xu Qing didn't ask any further questions and immediately added, "Alright, just put your seal on this form."

As she spoke, Xu Qing took out a jade slip and looked at it. Shi Ling then extended a finger with his mana and pointed at the jade slip, leaving behind a mark that looked like a fingerprint on it.

At this moment, Xu Qing brought the item back and then gave Shi Ling a jade ultimatum. She said, "Here, this is your mission jade ultimatum."

His mission this time was to find a 500 year old Fangs Tiger and collect its fur. The reward was 70 gold coins with a picture book of a Fangs Tiger attached to it. Below it was an introduction.

Xu Qing smiled at Shi Ling and said, "Little brother Shi Ling, big sister should remind you that if any mishap happens while disciple is doing a mission outside the sect, the sect won't take responsibility for it!"

That place was marked with the time limit for completing a quest. In other words, if Shi Ling did not finish within a month, then even if the quest was cancelled, even if Shi Ling took back the item, he would not be able to get any reward.

"Alright, I'll be going then."

Xu Qing looked at his back, a smile on her face. At this moment, on another counter, a pretty little sister said to Xu Qing, "Hey, Xu Qing, do you know that handsome little brother from before?"

Xu Qing tilted her head and looked at her, "I don't know him, 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's actually just a naïve young man who dares to come here and take a mission with just that little bit of strength, that's why I reminded him, don't die outside. Earlier, he even dared to say that he would take a thousand gold level mission, saying that he wasn't afraid of others laughing at him, so I gave him the hardest mission I have here, see how he'll die then?"

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

Xu Qing looked at her and said, "What? "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's the wager?"

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 have to give me that bottle of Purple Jade Vine perfume you bought from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion last time."

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 defeated, anything was worth it. However, in Xu Qing's eyes, it was impossible for Shi Ling to come back, and even if he did come back, he would definitely be covered in injuries. It was simply impossible for him to complete the mission.

She knew that if she wanted to find the Fangs Tiger's fur, she would have to penetrate deep into its territory before she could do so. However, the Fangs Tiger's territorial awareness was extremely strong, and for cultivators like Shi Ling, not to mention finding the Fangs Tiger's fur, even if he got close to her, he would still not be able to get close.

Xu Qing was elated at the thought of being able to get perfume that little sister bought for a huge sum of money.

"..."

On the other side, as Shi Ling walked, he looked up to see Bai Xiaosheng at his side. "It's so troublesome to take on a mission from your Spirit Sword Sect."

Shi Ling said, "That's no trouble at all. The necessary process still has to be done. Oh, right. 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 consciousness is extremely strong. Although it's only a low level demon beast, with your current strength, you still need to be careful."

Shi Ling suddenly asked, "If I were to use the Yang Fire to deal with this beast, would it be of any use?"

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

The Hundred Daybreaks said, "When the time comes, just use the Yin Fire to deal with it, without affecting its physical strength, you can kill it in one move. Therefore, we will deal with it in the last few days of the one month limit."

"En!" Shi Ling then packed up his things and headed for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Before leaving the sect, he needed to make some necessary preparations. After all, what would he do if there were any special circumstances?

After entering the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Shi Ling bought twenty ripe Star Origin Fruits, twenty detonation talismans, and ten high quality spirit pearls. He spent a total of fourteen hundred gold coins, leaving Shi Ling with only four thousand five hundred gold coins.

After preparing his things, Shi Ling left the pavilion and walked out of the mountain gate. However, what he did not notice was that behind him, there was a silhouette of Yan Wuping. He looked in the direction that Shi Ling had left in a daze, and a look of shock appeared on his face as he 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 and left. He wanted to tell this matter to Zhang Yusheng.

On Shi Ling's side, when he arrived at the entrance, he handed the mission jade slip over to the mountain guards, and after they confirmed it, they allowed Shi Ling to pass through.

Bai Xiaosheng then said, "Shi Ling, after we arrive at the forest, find a hidden cave and train for the night. We will start learning the Shadowmeld Killing technique the next day."

Towards Bai Xiaosheng, who was a resourceful star, Shi Ling would usually not doubt his words. This was because in Shi Ling's opinion, this fellow seemed to understand everything, and he could easily tell you its advantages and disadvantages by talking to it about any kind of beast.

Shi Ling couldn't help but glance at Bai Xiaosheng. With such an inky stomach, how could he be worthy of the appearance of a book? When Bai Xiaosheng saw Shi Ling looking at him with ill intentions, he immediately frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Shi Ling shook his head. "Nope. I was just thinking, your name is Bai Xiaosheng, but why is it that the cover of the book says' The Encyclopedia of the Magic Vault '?"

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, his eyes slightly shifted, and he said somewhat unhappily, "The Magic Treasury is my original body, and the Bai Xiaosheng is my real name. The relationship between us is like a magic tool and an artifact spirit."

Just as he was about to ask something else, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Stop, you don't need to ask any questions about me, because even if you ask, I won't tell you anything, understand?"

Seeing how disgusted Shi Ling was with himself for asking such questions, he pursed his lips and said, "Got it."

Soon enough, Shi Ling entered the mountains. He looked around and found a small cave filled with weeds at the foot of the mountain. It was pretty well-hidden, and it was just enough for one person to stay inside.

Without saying anything further, Shi Ling entered the cave and closed the door before beginning to cultivate with his legs crossed.
