The Celestial Mystery Sect uses its own Transmission Jade for mutual communication.
Long Fei took out Jiang Hengyuan’s Transmission Jade, and there was also a gathering order from the sect.
Now Little Nannan was no longer an ordinary person, so Long Fei straightforwardly put her into the Fla Emperor Cauldron to refine her body with Divine Demon Blood obtained from the Black Tortoise Palace.
If she were directly placed into a Storage Ring, it would be fine for a short ti, but long-term exposure would be subject to the influence of ti and space laws of the ring’s pocket dinsion, which could drain a person’s life force.
Simply put, a Storage Ring is a fragnt of a world.
Although it can store items inside, the ti and space laws within are incomplete and different from the outside world.
Due to the influence of these ti and space laws, the lifespan of living beings inside suffers significant reductions.
One could live a hundred years in the outside world, but only ten years inside the pocket dinsion.
It’s akin to one day in heaven, one year on earth.
However, for inanimate objects, there is no effect.
Because there is no wind, rain, thunder, lightning, or elental changes involving gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Thus, this space is relatively stable, and placing a Spirit Stone inside keeps inanimate objects fresh.
But putting them in the dicine Cauldron is different; the Fla Emperor Cauldron can isolate the influence of the Storage Ring’s laws.
The divine material within can refine Little Nannan’s body, stabilizing her newly awakened bloodline and laying the Foundation Establishnt for her physical cultivation.
Little Nannan doesn’t like outside, hiding inside this Fla Emperor Cauldron suits her intentions.
Long Fei quickly gathered at the Hall of Duty with a group led by Jiang Hengshuo.
The Outer Sect master within was assigning tasks, teams registered and were dispatched.
Currently in the city, only a few noble families hadn’t fallen victim to the thieves.
So, the Outer Sect Disciples were assigned to these families to help capture the thieves.
The demanding and tiring tasks of the Celestial Mystery Sect were typically done by Outer Sect Disciples.
The Inner Sect Disciples were busy cultivating, enhancing their Cultivation Level, having no ti to catch so petty thieves.
Long Fei and his group were late, and all the tasks had already been assigned, but ultimately they were sent to the Bai Family.
According to the Outer Sect master, this was a great chance to earn points.
Just by going there, each person could earn three points.
One point could be exchanged for ten Spirit Stones, so three points equal thirty.
For these disciples, it was quite a hefty bonus.
Everyone gladly accepted, registered with the beautiful senior sister, and received their task tokens.
Unexpectedly, the master gave the team leader position to Long Fei, letting him lead the execution of this task.
Due to Long Fei’s demonstrated prowess in his duel with Xiao Yuanshuo, he had risen in esteem in the Outer Sect Duty Masters’ eyes.
The Masters ain’t fools; they care about promising disciples.
These disciples will make a na for themselves, which brings great benefits to them.
As the team leader, Long Fei could earn double the points.
A group of people left the hall, and everyone jovially praised Long Fei, "Brother Hengyuan, at this rate, you’ll soon beco an Inner Sect Disciple."
"Yeah, Inner Sect Disciples are selected once a year. All who make special contributions to the sect and rank in the top three in the annual examination can advance for deep studies in the Inner Gate."
"Brother Hengyuan, you can definitely do it."
"..."
Before, they had received money and favors from Long Fei; now they were listening and flattering him earnestly.
Long Fei smiled and said, "Thank you all for the good words; it doesn’t matter to whether I enter the Inner Gate or not. What matters is the bond of brotherhood we have ford, which is genuine."
Everyone was touched, not expecting Long Fei to value them so highly, and respected him even more.
Jiang Hengshuo said, "Big Brother, the Duty Master said earlier, as long as we catch this thief, we will be performing a great service for the Celestial Mystery Sect. We must strive to catch the thief, let our team establish great rits, so you can enter the Inner Gate sooner."
"That’s right, we must strive to catch the thief, never let Brother Jiang down."
"Brother Hengyuan, rest assured! We won’t slack off at night, we’ll make sure you succeed."
"..."
A group of Jiang Family disciples all wearing expressions as soldiers willing to die for their confidants.
Long Fei advised them, "I appreciate your intentions, but catching the thief at all costs is unnecessary. Use your brains; these thieves can steal from so many powerful families in such a short ti. Is it because the families’ disciples aren’t excellent enough? Or the families’ elders and clan leaders aren’t strong enough? Or our City Defense Camp soldiers aren’t vigilant enough?"
Everyone fell silent, pondering his words.
Long Fei continued, "It’s because these are not ordinary thieves, or else why would they ask for our help? So, the key mont is to guarantee our safety, don’t ntion any more about risking life and limb. If I, ’Jiang Hengyuan,’ rise at the expense of brothers’ lives, is that humane? Even if I enter the Inner Gate, I’ll never hold my head high, I can’t afford to lose face!"
Everyone was touched again; it was the first ti soone cared for them during missions.
They clasped their hands, apologizing to Long Fei, "Big Brother, it was wrong of us."
"Big Brother, you’re unrivaled in benevolence and righteousness, magnificent in spirit; we are convinced."
"From now on, whatever Big Brother asks us to do, we will do it, definitely won’t act recklessly."
"Right, we’ll all listen to Big Brother."
"..."
Long Fei laughed heartily, patting their shoulders, "Now that’s the way! Old Bai’s Family is wealthy, once we go in, follow my lead in everything. We brothers go to help, after all, we should gain so benefits, right?"
Everyone chuckled, following Long Fei’s instructions.
The Bai Family, in this Celestial Mystery City, was also one of the top noble families.
They were different from the Jiang Family and Xiao Family; their heritage wasn’t Alchemy, but combat, military strategists, and noble family of the military.
From their ancestors, Old Bai’s Family has been mixing in the military.
Including high-ranking officers in the City Defense Camp within Celestial Mystery City, most are disciples of Old Bai’s Family.
It was Long Fei’s first visit, and upon seeing the Bai Residence, he couldn’t help but marvel.
This residence wasn’t built like a civilian house, but rather like a military fortress.
He had never seen any family’s residence with a moat on all sides, walls reaching thirty ters high, equivalent to a ten-story building.
Moreover, at every ten-ter interval on the walls, stood an armored disciple holding a long spear.
The interior architecture of the residence resembled styles from the western direction.
The highest building in the center must be about fifty ters tall. It’s circular, with no windows on all sides, only arrow shooting loopholes.
Standing atop, one could overlook the entire residence.
The whole yard was easy to defend, hard to attack, secretly changing with five elent restrictions, entering was no easy task.
Long Fei murmured, what misdeeds have they committed to necessitate such defenses, such caution?
Living here, one wouldn’t last three days without depression.
Old Bai’s Family apparently didn’t care much for their group.
Standing before the gate, Jiang Hengshuo shouted at the disciples above for a long while.
Displaying the Celestial Mystery Sect’s token and the task token.
After a while, the drawbridge of the gate was slowly lowered.
A steward-like person ca out, hands behind his back, glanced at them faintly and said indifferently, "Follow !"
With just that faint sentence, he turned and muttered dismissively, "Celestial Mystery Sect is really unnecessary, sending so insignificant disciples over."
