Xia Chen and Su Huaining watched the sunlight pour into the courtyard. Standing at the entrance was a girl with skin as white as snow and black hair as black as clouds. The sunlight cast a layer of rosy light over her. The girl's eyes were as bright as the crescent moon as she smiled. "Why did you find time to come and see me today?"

Xia Chen quickly stepped forward, grabbed Pei Nianyi's hand, and walked away. He walked very quickly, explaining to Pei Nianyi as he walked, "We have been in the Sword Sect for ten months, almost a year, and we haven't completed any of our missions for this year."

After hearing no movement for a while, Su Huaining asked with a surprised look: "Junior Sister Pei? Did you really forget that you still have a mission?"

"How do we accept the mission? As a team? Or as individuals?" Pei Nian changed the subject calmly.

Xia Chen said without hesitation: "We will accept the mission as a team, so that we can all look after each other."

As they were talking, they arrived at the Internal Affairs Hall.

This was Pei Nianyi's first time to come to the Internal Affairs Hall. There were many disciples here to receive their allowances and tasks. Pei Nianyi saw several familiar outer disciples, and Fang Qi was among them.

Pei Nian pretended not to see her, and he and Xia Chen went straight to the manager's desk.

The person on duty in the Internal Affairs Hall today was none other than Uncle Luo, whom they had met once before when he sent them to the disciple room.

Pei Nianyi handed over his identity jade token and said with a smile, "Hello, Manager Luo. I'm here to take on a mission. Are there any missions I can take on for someone in the early stages of Qi Refining?"

Before Manager Luo could reply, Fang Qi came over and said, "Junior Sister Pei, I've already accepted the mission. Why don't you join my team and look after me?"

Seeing this, Manager Luo remained silent, only waiting to see how Pei Nianyi would respond. Pei Nianyi shook her head and said, "Senior Sister, I already have teammates. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you very much."

Pei Nian politely declined Fang Qi's offer, then calmly said to Manager Luo, "Manager Luo, please let me see the task book."

Fang Qi was rejected by Pei Nianyi again. His expression suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Junior sister, are you really going to reject my kindness?"

Before Pei Nian could open his mouth, Xia Chen spoke first: "A forced melon is not sweet. She already has teammates."

Su Huaining also said sarcastically: "I never knew that a deaf person could become a monk."

"You guys! Just wait and see!" Fang Qi's face flushed red after being confronted by the two of them. She pushed Pei Nianyi away and said, "Junior Sister Pei, be careful when you go out on a mission. Don't lose your life." After saying that, Fang Qi left the Internal Affairs Hall angrily.

Pei Nianyi brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders and didn't take Fang Qi's matter to heart. He just asked Xia Chen and Su Huaining to choose tasks together.

The sect missions in the Mission Hall are generally divided into two types, inside the sect and outside the sect.

The task within the sect is to stay in the mountains and run errands for the elders of each peak, grow grass and flowers, feed spirit pets and so on. These jobs have both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that there is no danger and you will have the opportunity to meet the elders. If you can gain the favor of the elders, you can get more guidance, and even worse, you can become an elder's disciple. Even if you are just a nominal disciple, you will have better resources than outer disciples.

The downside is that these jobs are generally time-consuming, the earnings are not high, and if the tasks are not completed well, you may be reprimanded by the elders.

Missions outside the sect require going down the mountain. The mission locations are spread across the entire continent, the mission content is varied, and the time taken is uncertain. They are more dangerous than missions within the sect.

The three of them first rejected the tasks within the sect. First, they did not have enough time to complete them. Second, they had been in the sect for more than half a year and were looking forward to going down the mountain to gain some experience.

Finally, they discussed and chose the frost forest not far from the sect, which included five tasks such as collecting herbs and killing monsters. Manager Luo quickly picked out five wooden signs and handed them to Pei Nianyi. The wooden signs contained information about the tasks they had taken on.

As the three of them prepared to leave, Steward Luo spoke up again, reminding them, "Since you've come to take on this mission, why not collect your monthly allowance and go to Juanyun Town to buy some self-defense spiritual weapons before heading down the mountain?"

The three thanked Manager Luo for his reminder, received two hundred low-grade spirit stones, ten bottles each of Qi Gathering Pills and Fasting Pills, and went back to their rooms to prepare.

Pei Nianyi spent twenty points to exchange for an anti-magic cloak in the system's mall. This is a self-defense magic weapon that can withstand the full force of a Jindan cultivator.

A few days later, the three of them went to the Rime Forest together. The outskirts of the Rime Forest were relatively safe, as most of the monsters there were were small demons in the Qi Refining Stage. For cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, as long as they were careful and did not go deep into the Rime Forest, they would have no problem keeping their lives.

This time, the three of them need to pick Ningshen Flowers and Gentiana. Ningshen Flowers have the effect of refreshing the mind and are the main material for refining Ningshen Pills. Gentiana has the effect of replenishing blood and nourishing qi and is the main material for refining Jisheng Pills.

Both Ningshen Pill and Jisheng Pill are low-level elixirs in great demand, so a large amount of medicinal materials are needed. Pei Nianyi suggested that the three of them search for and pick them separately.

At first, Xia Chen and Su Huaining were worried about letting her act alone, but after a few days together, seeing that she was indeed sensible, they did not insist on being together anymore and agreed to search separately.

The three of them exchanged communication talismans, and Xia Chen repeatedly reminded Pei Nianyi that it was important to save his life if he encountered danger.

On this day, Pei Nianyi encountered a group of stone monkeys in the frost forest. The stone monkeys were good at brewing monkey wine. An elder of the Sword Sect who was good at taming beasts issued a task to capture the stone monkeys in the Internal Affairs Hall, which was one of the tasks that Pei Nianyi and others took on this time.

The rank of this group of stone monkeys is not high, only equivalent to the fifth level of Qi Refining for cultivators, but the stone monkeys are born with sharp five senses, flexible and agile movements, and are social monsters, more cunning and difficult to capture than ordinary monsters.

Pei Nian took a chance and jumped onto a nearby crooked tree, looking down carefully.

There are stone monkeys of all sizes living on the big trees nearby. Although they seem to be scattered, they are actually surrounding the Stone Ape King to protect him.

The Stone Ape King was sitting on a century-old giant tree, protecting the female ape beside him, who had a baby ape in her arms.

Pei Nianyi looked at the whole scene carefully and memorized the situation nearby.

She jumped down from the tree and caught an ordinary rabbit, then threw it into the stone ape's vigilance range, using the rabbit to alert the snake.

The panicked rabbit jumped left and right, and a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the nearby forest. The monkeys immediately became alert. The little stone monkey who was still playing was immediately taken away by the mother stone monkey and hid in a tree. Only the male stone monkey was left on the ground to fight the enemy.

Pei Nian grasped the wooden sword in one hand and thrust the toast forward at lightning speed. Perhaps she was confident, she also explained confidently: "There was a loud bang in the sky, and Li Bai made a brilliant appearance!" Several sword lights flashed through the shadows of the trees and hit several stone monkeys on guard.

"Let's toast, don't stop drinking! I'm going to use my second skill!" Because he couldn't hurt the stone ape in order to capture it alive, Pei Nianyi controlled the force to the lightest level, only knocking the stone ape unconscious and temporarily losing its ability to move.

The howling stopped, and the group of stone apes began to fight back under the command of the Stone Ape King. Pei Nian paused, changed her moves, and quickly moved a distance to the left. "Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles! Who else?" Another brilliant move made the stone apes wherever she went scream and flee.

She took advantage of the chaos to continue moving quickly to the right with Star Chaser, and then continued to toast the Stone Ape King in front of her.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first.

Pei Nian disrupted the Stone Ape's organization from the very beginning. She quickly approached the Stone Ape King, but just as she was about to approach the big tree where the Stone Ape King was, something suddenly changed.

The Stone Ape King roared, and all the stone apes gathered to block the Stone Ape King. The Stone Ape King gave another order, and the first two rows of stone apes surrounded Pei Nian and attacked her.
