The first step of the plan was for Xue Yun to find a way to leave the sect temporarily, so that when he returned, he could pull out the Naling grass and lie to himself. However, there are only two ways to leave the sect, one is to obtain the permission of the elders of the sect and go out to hone one's mood, and the other is to receive the tasks issued by the sect and go out to do errands.

Xue Yun's cultivation had not yet reached the bottleneck, so naturally he did not need to temper his state of mind, so the first way was undoubtedly unworkable for him, so Xue Yun had no choice but to go and receive the sect task.

So Xue Yun came to Juying Pavilion, where the sect task was issued, and as soon as he walked into the door, he saw three huge rooms, with three signs hanging on the doors, which respectively read "Qi Refining", "Building a Foundation", and "Jiedan". Xue Yun glanced at each room, then walked towards the room where "Qi Refining" was written, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw more than twenty people standing bustling in front of him. Xue Yun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that there are so many people who came to receive the task today?" and then looked curiously at the place where the crowd gathered.

Just as Xue Yun was about to find someone to ask what had happened, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Senior Brother Xue, are you also here to see this mission?" Judging by the voice, it should be Senior Brother Qin of the Artifact Hall who transmitted the sound.

"Senior Brother Qin, I just came here, what the hell is going on, and what is the task you are talking about?" Xue Yun couldn't help but say to Senior Brother Qin in confusion.

"I see, the junior brother cultivates hard all day long, and it is understandable that he doesn't know something. This mission is really peculiar!" Senior Brother Qin's voice carried a hint of a smile. However, before Xue Yun could continue to ask, he continued: "I don't know which elder issued this task this time, and he actually asked our immortal cultivators to use a mortal as a stand-in, but the amazing thing is that the rewards for this task are also extremely rich. I'm afraid these guys want to see who will accept this task. ”

Xue Yun was also puzzled when he heard Senior Brother Qin's words, because no matter which sect or family of cultivation is true, once there are monks above the knot stage, they basically rarely participate in worldly affairs, but after thinking about it, Xue Yun was also happy in his heart, and thought in his heart: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." I was looking for a task, but I didn't expect such a delivery to the door, pretending to be a mortal, this is certainly difficult for other immortal cultivators, most of them grew up in the Xiuzhen family, and they don't know anything about the world at all, and I am from a secular background, so it shouldn't be difficult to pretend to be a mortal. ”

Thinking of this, Xue Yun squeezed forward from the crowd, and after a lot of effort, he finally walked to the side of the jade slip that recorded the content of the task, and the people around saw that someone took the initiative to walk next to the jade slip, and they couldn't help but look at Xue Yun, stared at by more than 20 pairs of eyes, Xue Yun's face turned red, and he hugged his fist at everyone slightly, then picked up the jade slip and read it with his divine sense.

After a while, Xue Yun put the jade slip back in its place, walked straight to Uncle Zhao, who was in charge of Juying Pavilion, and said loudly to Uncle Zhao: "Little nephew is not talented, I am willing to take on this task and share the worries of the sect." ”

And before Senior Uncle Zhao could answer, someone next to him couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Xue, why did you take this task, although this task is only to ask for a stand-in to protect a mortal, it is almost impossible for me and other immortal cultivators to be dangerous, but I am afraid it is not easy for immortal cultivators like me to disguise mortals." ”

Xue Yun looked back and saw that the person who was questioning was Senior Brother Li, whose residence was not far from him, so he replied with a smile: " Senior brother doesn't know, I am from a secular background, and the person who needs to be protected by this task is from a business family, but recently I was targeted by thieves, and there was news that the thieves wanted to kidnap the son of the head of his family, as if the family had some relationship with an elder of the family, so he sought protection from the door, and my family has been in business for generations in the world, and the age difference between me and the son of the head of the family is similar, this task seems to be tailor-made for me. ”

Hearing Xue Yun say this, all the senior brothers had such expressions on their faces. And that Senior Uncle Zhao also smiled and said, "Well, since this is the case, then this task will be handed over to Senior Nephew Xue." Here's the details of this mission, you can take it. With that, he handed Xue Yun a cyan jade slip, and Xue Yun immediately took it, gave Uncle Zhao a salute, and left Juying Pavilion.

After Xue Yun Yujian returned to his residence, he carefully checked the information of this mission, which was not very complicated, but only gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the family. This family's surname is ancient, and they have been in business for generations, and the family business has been prosperous for a while in the past, but in this generation, it has been in decline for a long time, and only a few small shops are left to operate dismally, and the place where it is located is naturally not a very big city, just a small town with tens of thousands of people, of course, this kind of town cannot be compared with Jibei City, where the Xue family is located, and there are not many in the spiritual world. But I don't know what chance this ancient family has, more than 500 years ago, there was a boy with good qualifications who worshiped the Qingxuan faction, and today, he has also become a one-yuan infant elder of the Qingxuan faction, but with the passage of time, the blood relationship is gradually weakening, and this elder does not have much affection for these secular people. As long as it is not a matter of life and death in the clan, the others are almost ignored, but if it is robbed by thieves this time, I am afraid that it will completely decline, so this task was issued in the Qingxuan faction.

In the process of transporting goods, the ancient family unfortunately encountered a group of thieves, this group of thieves saw that the ancient family was scarce, and they were ready to rob their goods, but the ancient family was also alert, before the thieves started to find out, secretly replaced the goods, after the thieves grabbed the goods, they did not embarrass the ancient family, after the ancient family left, the thieves finally found that the goods had been replaced when they divided the spoils, so the thieves deeply hated the ancient family.

Three days later, the Gu family received a warning letter sent by the thieves, saying that if they did not hand over all their belongings, they would kill the son of the Gu family who was studying in the academy, and the Gu family was naturally in a hurry, and hurriedly turned to the government for help, but they never thought that the government had already colluded with this group of thieves, and they did not care about it, and the head of the Gu family was helpless, so he had to ask for help from the Yuan Infant Ancestor in the Qingxuan faction, although the elder was unwilling to leave this trivial matter, but if the bloodline was damaged because of this, he was also unwilling, so he casually took out a few insignificant spirit stones in his eyes as a reward, so he had this task。

After reading the information, Xue Yun couldn't help but smile in his heart: " Yes, the task reward given by the elder of this Yuan Infant is not expensive, after clearing these thieves, you can get a medium-grade spirit stone, which is 100 yuan when converted into a lower grade, which is enough as much as my ten-month monthly salary on weekdays, originally I was worried about what risks there were in this matter, but now it seems that this is just a bunch of mortals, the power of this ancient family is so weak, presumably the thieves who are eyeing them are just practicing some fist and foot kung fu in the secular martial arts, and there should be no body refiners. ”

After understanding the situation, Xue Yun decided to leave the next day, so he first went to the cave mansion of the master Zhang Qi and explained the situation of the sect task he accepted, Zhang Qi did not object to Xue Yun accepting the sect task, but reminded Xue Yun to make good use of this opportunity to hone his mind, Xue Yun naturally said yes again and again.

After that, Xue Yun asked Zhang Qi some questions about cultivation, and Zhang Qi also answered them carefully, which benefited Xue Yun a lot.

The next day, Xue Yun changed out of the clothes of the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect, put on the worldly clothes that he had gone up the mountain to take the exam, and left the area of Tianmeng Mountain, where the Qingxuan Sect was located, and went straight to the Gujia Town, where the Gu family was located.
