He advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

His Qi Sea Celestial罡 had reached the ninth stage of cultivation.

The Qi Sea Celestial罡 had also become a weapon.

Its power was astonishing.

But he didn't dare to unleash its full potential on the items in the courtyard.

It was a pity that there was no one he needed to fight at the moment.

Otherwise, he would really like to try it out.

This was the mentality brought about by the increase in strength.

"My cultivation has improved, and I've become a little inflated. I want to find an enemy to practice with," Gu An said self-deprecatingly.

Unfortunately, the only ones he had a feud with were Ren Shan and Zhong Bing.

There was no need for him to deal with Ren Shan himself.

Zhong Bing was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it would be like fighting someone above his level if he went to find him.

He would easily get abused.

So, he couldn't do anything for the time being.

Slightly shaking his head, Gu An stopped thinking about it and walked outside.

He planned to go logging to complete his task for the day.

He also needed to see why the accumulation of术法 was slowing down.

In addition, the first volume of Qi Sea Celestial罡 had ended, and he needed to find the second volume to continue improving.

Besides these, there was also what came after Qi Refining.

The cultivation method after Qi Refining was also of utmost importance.

Shaking his head, Gu An was not in a hurry.

There were still a few months left, so he could take his time.

Just as he arrived at the logging area to collect his axe, Gu An saw that the other party was a little surprised: "You are Gu An?"

The one managing the axes was a senior brother who looked about twenty-five years old.

His cultivation had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

He was considered a strongman among the outer sect.

Most outer sect disciples were at the sixth or seventh level.

There were fewer at the eighth or ninth level.

There were also those above Qi Refining, but they had never been seen.

"I am. Is there anything I can do for you, Senior Brother?" Gu An asked politely.

"The outer sect has received a mission, and you are on the list," the senior brother managing the axes kindly reminded him:

"You don't need to log today. Go to the registration place to receive the mission details."

Gu An was a little surprised. Where did the mission come from?

After hesitating for a moment, he secretly gave the senior brother in front of him a spirit stone and humbly said:

"This is the first time Junior Brother has received a mission, and I don't know what's going on."

After receiving the spirit stone, the senior brother managing the axes put it away without batting an eye and said with a smile:

"When did Junior Brother enter the sect?"

"Less than a year," Gu An replied.

"Oh?" The senior brother managing the axes was a little surprised: "It seems that Junior Brother has some good fortune, but under normal circumstances, there will be no sect missions in the first three years, to give disciples time to grow.

It's not a hard and fast rule, but basically no missions will be distributed.

So, Junior Brother, you have to be careful."

Hearing this, Gu An knew that he was being targeted.

Who exactly needed to target him like this?

But those who had this kind of ability were probably related to Ren Shan.

After all, people in the inner sect were targeting her, and it was natural for someone to be watching him now that he was suspected of obtaining a secret.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Gu An did not ask any further questions.

The person in front of him was not familiar with him, and asking too much would only make him annoying.

Especially knowing that he was being targeted, saying more might cause him to be blamed.

With that, Gu An turned and left.

He went to the registration place to receive the mission.

The registration office was at the bottom of the mountain. There was a row of buildings here, which was a must-visit place for new disciples.

The mission was in a small office.

After asking several times, Gu An finally arrived at the mission receiving office.

A fairy was sitting here, looking at some books, her brows slightly furrowed.

He couldn't see her cultivation.

There was a sign on the table with the words Chen Yue written on it.

"Senior Sister Chen," Gu An respectfully gave a greeting.

Hearing this, the other party slightly raised her eyebrows.

She was dressed in green clothes, her hair was tied up in a bun, and a lotus flower was pressed on her forehead.

Her slender fingers flipped, and the flipping pages successfully fell.

Her plain eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, but there was not a trace of emotional fluctuation.

Very strong, Gu An instinctively felt.

"What is it?" Chen Yue asked.

Her tone was ordinary, without any emotional admixture.

"I heard that there is a sect mission, so I want to ask for details," Gu An replied.

"Name," Chen Yue was as plain as ever.

"Gu An," Gu An gave his name.

"The sect has a traitor who should be somewhere in the city at the foot of the mountain. According to the news, he may go home to worship his ancestors in seven days. You must set off in five days to capture him," Chen Yue said immediately.

It seemed that she knew all the mission information.

Hearing this, Gu An was a little surprised.

Capture a traitor?

It turned out to be such a mission.

But he still noticed the key point.

That was 'you'.

"How many people are there in total?" Gu An asked politely.

"Not many, three including you," Chen Yue thought for a moment and said:

"The other two are also outer sect disciples.

But they all live in the north."

The north was where the strongest group of people lived.

It was a big trouble.

After asking where to gather, Chen Yue said that he could come to her in five days.

With that, Gu An did not ask any further questions.

He wanted to give her a spirit stone, but looking at her expression, he couldn't find a chance.

So, he said goodbye and left.

Chen Yue didn't pay much attention.

But when flipping through the books, she discovered that this Gu An had just entered the sect: "It seems that he has offended someone. There is a high probability that he will not be able to come back this time."

Shaking her head, Chen Yue didn't think much about it.

What did the life and death of these people have to do with her?

Every year, some of the people who went out on missions would never return.

After that, she continued to read her books.

......

Back at his residence, Gu An determined that he would not be able to improve his cultivation or术法 in a short period of time.

But the eighth level of Qi Refining and the first volume of Qi Sea Celestial罡 were enough for him to protect himself simply.

But for safety's sake, he should still prepare some other things.

He simply looked at the storage magic weapon.

One hundred and forty spirit stones, two healing talismans, three soundproofing talismans, and a spiritual sword.

And three bottles of Qi Tempering Pills.

Qi Tempering Pills were not easy to sell, especially those distributed by the sect.

They had special marks, and these pills were not allowed to be sold.

This was for the foundation of the sect.

Spirit stones could be plundered, but distributed pills could not be plundered.

Selling them was even more forbidden.

Once discovered, the consequences would be extremely serious.

So even he could not sell them.

However, one of the bottles had no mark, so it could be sold.

"There are actually more spirit stones than when I came," Gu An said with emotion.

Because he lived in the depths of the east, he would have hot burns on his body, and he always had to use healing talismans to heal them.

He thought that the one hundred spirit stones would be used up sooner or later.

Who would have thought that there were many warm-hearted people in the sect who would lend him spirit stones.

But after borrowing a few times, the others probably wouldn't come again.

Sometimes he felt quite sorry.

After that, Gu An went to the East Square Market, wanting to buy something.

In fact, there was one more thing he was quite concerned about, that was whether the aura concealment method could shield the gaze of those people in the north.

His eighth level of Qi Refining was one of his trump cards, and it was best not to expose it.

There were many people in the square market.

Gu An planned to buy one or two good magic weapons.

Knives or swords and other attack magic weapons were all acceptable.

Standing in front of a magic weapon stall, Gu An saw a crimson sword.

It looked quite extraordinary.

"Fellow Daoist, how much is this sword?" Gu An asked.

"Three hundred and sixty-eight spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist sincerely wants it, I'll give it to you for three hundred and fifty," the middle-aged man at the stall said.

Hearing the price, Gu An paused, and didn't even have the heart to bargain.

As if seeing Gu An's embarrassment, the middle-aged man pointed to the edge and said: "Why don't you take a look at this knife? Two hundred and sixty-eight spirit stones."

Gu An looked over. The black knife had traces of cold air.

At first glance, its quality was no worse than the sword just now.

"The quality seems to be similar, why is the price so different?" Gu An asked curiously.

"They don't like knives, they think they're a bit cheap, so when they see someone using a knife, they mostly think of poverty," the stall owner said with emotion.

Gu An: "......"

There was such a chain of contempt?
