Proving one's path through killing—this kind of merit is poisonous!

Chapter 27: Another attempt to steal it?
Whether it's the miscellaneous affairs office, the outer gate, or even the inner gate, each has its own miscellaneous affairs hall.

Earning points by submitting tasks and then exchanging those points for the resources one needs is a unique trading method within the Immortal Sect.

Seeing that Gu Jinhe hadn't spoken for a while, Lin Tinglan urged, "Junior Sister, what's your decision? Will you take this mission?"

"I'll accept!" Gu Jinhe made her decision, her voice firm and resolute.

After receiving a positive reply, Lin Tinglan looked at Zhou Yue and nodded in satisfaction after confirming that she had also accepted the answer.

As he wrote something in the booklet, he said, "Once you complete the task and get the points, you can come to me to exchange them for something."

After saying that, he put down his pen and smiled mysteriously: "I hope you can persevere for a while. After all, it's always better to have more points than less."

He stood up and handed the two wooden plaques to the two men respectively.

The wooden plaque in Gu Jinhe's hand was engraved with the words "Danfang" (丹房, alchemy room), while the wooden plaque in Zhou Yue's hand was engraved with the words "Yaotian" (药田, medicinal field).

The two exchanged a glance, realizing that the wooden plaque was closely related to the mission, and carefully put it away.

"The alchemy room is at the east gate of Tingyu Garden, and the medicine field is at the west gate of Luori Pavilion. Go and report there yourselves!"

After giving a final reminder, Lin Tinglan sat back down in her seat, intending to take another nap.

"Thank you, senior brother," the two said, bowing.

Lin Tinglan waved her hand impatiently.

After leaving the miscellaneous affairs hall, Gu Jinhe and Zhou Yue chatted for a few more minutes before heading off in the directions Lin Tinglan had indicated.

Fortunately, the distance between the south gate and the east gate of Tingyu Garden was not far. Gu Jinhe followed the direction and soon arrived at her destination.

Just as she was looking for the location of the alchemy room, she suddenly heard someone behind her say, "Isn't this Junior Sister Gu? Why aren't you with Senior Sister Zhou doing chores? What are you doing here?"

Gu Jinhe turned around and saw Qin Shu and Fu Qingxue walking towards her.

A sense of unease rose within her.

This is the East Gate, where few disciples usually pass by. Plus, most disciples are busy right now, so these two suddenly appearing here and calling out to her…

Gu Jinhe recalled the jade pendant she had bound to her with her blood last night and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that they still haven't given up on getting the jade pendant back?
Surely they're not going to just steal it by force!

Thinking of this, Gu Jinhe's expression remained unchanged, but her hand, hidden behind her back, gradually gathered spiritual power.

But in the next instant, she dissipated her spiritual power.

[New Mission: Please fulfill your senior sister's wish.]

Time limit: 15 minutes
Reward: Increases the success rate of elixirs by 2%, and grants 10 merit points.

Gu Jinhe raised an eyebrow; she wasn't particularly interested in the increased probability of achieving the required pill form.

After all, given the current situation, she still has a long way to go before she can get involved in alchemy.

As for merit points, just like the points she's currently trying to earn, it's better to have too many than too few. Thinking of this, Gu Jinhe took the initiative to speak up and retorted, "Didn't the two senior sisters also not do any work?"

"We finished it a long time ago."

Qin Shu crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

Fu Qingxue seemed quite helpless about Qin Shu's attitude. She sighed but did not stop her.

Then she looked at Gu Jinhe, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked, "Junior sister, do you still have your jade pendant?"

"Yes!"

Fu Qingxue, still thinking that Gu Jinhe hadn't discovered the secret of the jade pendant, couldn't suppress a smile and asked, "Junior sister, can't you really give the jade pendant back to me?"

"This wasn't your jade pendant to begin with, so why are you asking about returning it?"

As Gu Jinhe spoke, recalling the items she had seen when she last opened the shop, she asked in her mind, "System, did you put the items in the shop up there?"

This system copies and uploads items obtained by the host for the host to purchase.
Due to limited display space, the host can choose the items and quantities to copy later.

so good?
If she obtains some peerless divine weapon in the future, wouldn't she be able to replicate it many times through the system?

As if sensing what Gu Jinhe was thinking, the system added another sentence.

[System Reminder: Host, magical artifacts can only have their appearance copied.]

"I see!" Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhe was somewhat disappointed, but she quickly recovered.

The most important thing is to deal with the immediate problem first...

"System, copy a piece of Buddha Lotus Jade."

The Buddha Lotus Jade (Standard Version) has been copied. The host can view it in the system shop.

Upon opening the online store, Gu Jinhe immediately spotted the jade pendant, mainly because there weren't many items available in the store at the moment.

She glanced at the price again: one merit point.

She's not losing out on this mission—trading one point for ten!
With that in mind, Gu Jinhe decisively redeemed the Buddha Lotus Jade (Standard Version).

When she came to her senses, Fu Qingxue seemed to have made up her mind and exchanged a glance with Qin Shu.

The two then surrounded her.

Fu Qingxue looked at Gu Jinhe with cold eyes, no longer as gentle and charming as she had been yesterday.

Finally, they couldn't keep up the act anymore?

Seeing their change in attitude, Gu Jinhe smiled slightly and asked, "Senior sisters, are you planning to take it by force?"
