Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Taking a Task Right Under Soone’s Nose
After contemplating for a while.
Jiang Fan still decided to go to the Myriad Swords Sect first.
To avoid making a huge detour, only to arrive at the Giant Sect and find that Liu Qingxian had gone to the Myriad Swords Sect.
Besides, the Myriad Swords Sect was located to the northwest, right above the Desires Sect.
The two were adjacent, not far from each other.
Thus, getting off the carriage, he clasped his hands and said, “If you are going to the Myriad Swords Sect, I can accompany you.”
Who knew if there would be dangers on the way to the Myriad Swords Sect?
The Desires Sect escorting disciples must have a strong elder leading the team, right?
Blending in with them would undoubtedly be much safer.
The few elders, upon hearing his words, all showed indifferent expressions.
The Desires Sect was escorting disciples to seize opportunities, and an outsider wanted to join them just like that?
To the surprise of the elders.
Yue Mingzhu readily agreed, “Sure, let’s bring you along.”
She didn’t know how to thank Jiang Fan yet.
Just as Jiang Fan volunteered to accompany them.
So, taking him along was a way to repay the favor he had just done.
“Sect Master, is this person trustworthy?” Elder Ling questioned.
Yue Mingzhu pointed to the Silver Winged Thunderbird, still an ice sculpture, and said, “Thanks to this fellow Daoist’s assistance.”
“Otherwise, our sect would have been in trouble just now.”
“On the way, you should take good care of him.”
Fellow Daoist?
The few elders were extrely surprised.
This title indicated that the Sect Master acknowledged Jiang Fan’s considerable strength.
At least, it was beyond the level of a disciple’s strength.
But judging by his voice, he didn’t seem very old.
Elder Ling slightly nodded and said, “I shall lead the way.”
“We should head back to the Desires Sect first, select the disciples, and then set off.”
Jiang Fan pondered for a mont, then followed them back to Desires City.
At the foot of the Desires Sect mountain.
The three won, Yi Lianxing, Chu Xingng, and Qin Caihe, slowly woke up.
After a continuous journey, they were truly exhausted and had a deep sleep.
“Huh? How is there a jade bottle and a pill here?” Yi Lianxing accidentally knocked over the jade bottle and exclaid in surprise.
Chu Xingng looked puzzled, “I also have a bottle, what kind of pill is this?”
Qin Caihe, with sleep-dazed eyes, took a closer look and scread in fright.
“Ah! It’s a Revitalizing…”
She hurriedly covered her mouth, lowered her voice in excitent, and said, “This is the ancient healing pill from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion auction tour in Green Cloud City!”
“Revitalizing Pill!”
“I heard from Senior Brother Ling Guihai that this kind of pill was auctioned for the astronomical price of two hundred thousand crystal stones per pill!”
Yi Lianxing and Chu Xingng were both shocked.
They had heard of the Revitalizing Pill.
It was the first ti they saw it.
What baffled them even more was why each of them had one upon waking up.
At this mont, Chu Xingng suddenly exclaid, “Oh no, the claw of the Silver Winged Thunderbird is missing.”
“This was Senior Brother Jiang’s trophy.”
The three won were in a panic.
But then they realized the carriage was unusually quiet.
“Junior Brother Jiang ca last night, took the claw, and left each of us a Revitalizing Pill.”
Yi Lianxing comnted with a complex expression.
The excitent on Qin Caihe’s face faded visibly, she bit her lip lightly and said in a trembling voice:
“Junior Brother Jiang… has left.”
“Without even saying goodbye.”
Chu Xingng finally understood, last night Jiang Fan had silently said goodbye to them.
The pill was his parting gift to them.
She felt a lump in her throat, and tears silently fell.
The days spent together with Jiang Fan were actually less than half a month.
But the experiences were more exciting than anything she had gone through in her eighteen years of life.
Jiang Fan’s sudden departure left her with a deep sense of loss.
Yi Lianxing also felt a bit desolate, patting the shoulders of the two won, she sighed:
“Junior Brother Jiang was never a cold-hearted person, there must be sothing unspeakable that made him leave without saying goodbye.”
“If we are fated, we will et him again soday.”
“Get yourselves together.”
“The task is over, and we should all return to our respective sects to wait.”
Qin Caihe nodded with a heavy heart.
Reluctant to part from this team, the journey, filled with laughter, was much more enjoyable than her ti at the Myriad Swords Sect.
She looked at Chu Xingng with concern, “Junior Sister Chu, the road to the Supre Sect is long, can you go back alone?”
Yi Lianxing said, “Don’t worry, I will personally escort her back to the Supre Sect.”
“You take care of yourself, the west is not peaceful, and the northwest might not be much better.”
Qin Caihe nodded, “I will be careful!”
The three won said their goodbyes in front of the carriage.
After packing up their things, one headed west, the other east, and they went their separate ways.
Little did they know.
Not long after they left.
Jiang Fan’s carriage swayed back to the foot of the mountain.
Elder Ling said, “Fellow Daoist, please wait here, I will select the disciples and co back.”
Jiang Fan nodded.
Watching the Desires Sect master leave first, he rolled his eyes and said, “By the way, Elder Li.”
“Does your sect have any tasks related to the Myriad Swords Sect?”
Since he was going to the Myriad Swords Sect, he might as well make use of the trip.
Getting so rit points on the way would be great, right?
Elder Ling was astonished and said:
“Fellow Daoist, tasks are prepared for disciples of each sect, we have not received any tasks from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion.”
Jiang Fan clasped his hands and said, “To be honest, I am also a disciple.”
Ah?
Elder Ling looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Then why did the Sect Master address Jiang Fan as Fellow Daoist?
But thinking about the Sect Master’s childish temperant, it was understandable.
Over the years, the Sect Master had done countless absurd things.
Recently, hadn’t she even tried to forcibly recruit disciples from the Green Cloud Sect?
When she couldn’t do it, she put them on the wanted list.
Only the Sect Master could do such things.
In comparison, what was calling a disciple a Fellow Daoist?
“Fine, I will get you a task.”
Elder Ling naturally understood Jiang Fan’s intention to get free rit points.
But since she had promised the Sect Master to take good care of him, helping him get a task was no big deal.
She left with her hands behind her back.
Not long after, she returned with five disciples.
Jiang Fan only recognized one of them, Ji Ruyue.
The other four were all at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishnt, hoping to use the Sword Forest to break through to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishnt.
Only Ji Ruyue, at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishnt, was an exception.
But, the other four disciples did not dare to have the slightest bit of contempt, on the contrary, they affectionately called her Sister Ruyue.
They were extrely warm.
Ji Ruyue was flattered, and naturally understood the reason behind it.
Jiang Fan!
Because she had so connections with Jiang Fan, the Sect Master treated her with special favor.
This was the reason she got a spot this ti.
The once lofty senior brothers and sisters were now polite to her.
She boarded the carriage first and was surprised to find a masked person sitting cross-legged inside, she exclaid, “Who are you?”
Elder Ling walked over and introduced, “This is an outer sect disciple traveling with us.”
“Soone the Sect Master values greatly, be polite to him.”
Ji Ruyue and the other disciples were secretly astonished.
What kind of outer sect disciple deserved to be personally escorted by the Great Elder?
Not to ntion Elder Ling’s reminder to be polite.
Even without the reminder, they would be extrely courteous.
As everyone settled in.
Elder Ling handed out a task jade scroll to each of them, including Jiang Fan.
Everyone was delighted, as this task posed no risk and was practically a free reward.
“Keep it to yourselves, don’t let other disciples hear and complain.”
She reminded everyone, then tossed them the registry book, “Register yourselves.”
They were all acquaintances, so there was no need for her to verify the identity jades one by one.
Even Jiang Fan, since the Sect Master had personally arranged for him to be taken care of.
His identity was certainly not questionable.
Everyone happily registered their information themselves.
When it was Jiang Fan’s turn, he hesitated slightly and, with a bit of trepidation, registered his real information.
When the Heavenly chanism Pavilion reviewed the tasks, they would check both the “task assignnt” and “task completion” registries.
If Jiang Fan used a fake na, the two wouldn’t match up.
It would be considered an invalid task.
Therefore, he had to use his real na.
After signing, he pretended to be calm and handed it to Elder Ling.
Fortunately, Elder Ling didn’t take a closer look.
She casually handed it to a disciple next to her, saying, “Take this to the Sect Master Hall, and inform the Sect Master that we are departing!”
“Yes!”
The disciple hurried off with the registry book.
Soon, he arrived at the Sect Master Hall.
Inside the hall, Chief Disciple Xie Liushu was kneeling, saying, “Sect Master, please give another chance to make ands by taking on a first-class task?”
Since failing the first-class task, he had been shunned by the sect.
Yue Mingzhu looked at her chief disciple in front of her, and couldn’t help but compare him to Jiang Fan, the more she compared, the more dissatisfied she beca.
She randomly picked up a first-class task jade scroll and threw it over, “Take it and stop bothering !”
Xie Liushu was overjoyed.
He quickly picked up the jade scroll.
At this mont, the disciple brought the registry book.
He took it and prepared to record the information himself.
But when he saw the last entry in the registry book.
He was stunned.
“Jiang Fan?”
