There is nothing on the upper nine peaks.

After Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou searched every corner, they finally believed this fact.

The door could not be repaired, and when it was installed, it fell down when the cold wind blew.

Finally, Zhongli Tingzhou threw the door to the ground.

"No more repairs."

Gao Han looked at him dimly.

Zhongli Tingzhou thought for two seconds and said, "I'll fix it tomorrow."

That's about right.

Gao Han nodded with reluctant satisfaction.

The two men chose a new house to move into, and the next morning they went to the steward's hall to ask the steward for tools to repair the door frame. Of course, they did not say they wanted to repair the door frame.

Unlike other people who met on the road and were strangers to each other, the steward was particularly respectful.

Because this person was the one in charge when Yuan Ran brought them here yesterday.

After getting the tools, Gao Han asked again: "Can we receive the disciple benefits today?"

"sure."

The benefits for inner disciples are all the same, so the steward took out two storage bags without saying a word, which contained one month's benefits.

Ten mid-grade spirit stones and some medicinal pills. Since the two were still in the foundation-building stage, they were only given medicinal pills for foundation-building.

Pills like Zhenyuan Pills, Juling Pills, etc. are used in the middle and late stages of foundation building.

"Are all inner disciples given so much?" Gao Han asked in surprise.

The steward replied, “Yes.”

"Thank you." Gao Han nodded.

Leave the Steward's Hall.

Zhongli Tingzhou said: "Why is Zixiao Sect so stingy that they only gave ten mid-grade spirit stones."

Gao Han glanced at him and said, "I heard that outer disciples are only given thirty low-grade spirit stones and a few pills every month."

Zhongli Tingzhou immediately changed his tone, "That's also okay."

Gao Han put away the two storage bags and said, "Relying on the sect's supplies, this road will never work. We still have to rely on ourselves. Let's go to the mission hall to have a look."

"Are we going to complete the mission right now?" Zhongli Tingzhou didn't ask him for his share.

"Let's take a look first. We don't know anything. If we go out to do the mission now, there is a higher chance that we will get lost."

The mission hall is only a few steps away, and there are quite a few people coming in and out.

Some people accept tasks, some submit tasks, and some get injured when their tasks fail.

Yuan Ran had told them yesterday that after six months of entry into Zixiao Sect, disciples would have a fixed amount of tasks to complete every month. The higher their level of cultivation, the more difficult the tasks would be.

"Some of the tasks here are quite strange." Gao Han looked up at the panel in front of him.

The tasks above are ranked from difficult to easy.

On this side, most of the tasks require disciples to kill some kind of monster, take a certain number of parts of their body, find some kind of spiritual herbs and fruits, etc.

But on the opposite panel, the tasks above are completely opposite.

"Killing a corporal demon will earn you one contribution point, and this task will be valid forever. Killing a general demon will earn you five contribution points, and the task will also be valid forever..." Zhongli Tingzhou read out loud.

"I've heard people in the fantasy world talk about demons before. What exactly are demons?" Gao Han said.

Zhongli Tingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Maybe they are the enemies of the humans in Lingtian Continent."

"From the previous illusion test, these demons can also possess and assimilate humans."

Gao Han touched his chin and thought, "Besides, a corporal demon only has one contribution point, which is valid forever. These demons seem to be a rampant creature. I'd like to meet them if I have a chance."

Nowadays, spiritual practitioners killing these demons seems to be the mainstream in Lingtian Continent.

"Master uncle, I finally found you."

Yuan Ran's tired voice suddenly rang in their ears, but they didn't dare to speak too loudly.

When they turned around, they saw his resentful face.

"Do you have something to talk to us about?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked with a raised eyebrow.

"It's not that I have something to do with my uncle-master, it's my great-granduncle-grandmaster who sent a message to my master, and my master asked me to come to you." Yuanran replied.

"Then let's go." Gao Han roughly knew what Master Zixiao wanted to talk to them about, but he didn't expect it to be so efficient. He didn't know whether it was good news or bad news.

Yuan Ran was sincerely grateful for Gao Han's existence. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't know how to deal with this troublesome uncle.

It would be fine if he was a disciple of any other elder, but his seniority is so high that it's frightening.

As soon as he entered the door, he, the disciple of the sect master, became the other party's disciple.

The three of them quickly returned to the Upper Nine Peaks.

It had to be quick. Gao Han couldn't bear it when he saw Yuan Ran's expression, which looked like he was about to die of anxiety but didn't dare to urge Zhongli Tingzhou.

"Grandmaster Uncle, I have brought the people here." Yuan Ran said dryly when he saw Master Zixiao who was waiting for them at the top of the mountain. This was the second time that Grandmaster Uncle had waited for them.

Master Zixiao was not angry, he just asked: "Why did you run down the mountain?"

"If we don't go down the mountain, we will be poor to death." Zhongli Tingzhou muttered and was poked by Gao Han.

This is a disguised way of asking for something.

"What is due to you will be given to you." Master Zixiao said calmly, turning his gaze to Gao Han, "Come with me."

"I want to go too." Zhongli Tingzhou said immediately.

I don't know what Master Zixiao was thinking, but he didn't refuse. "Then come on."

Yuan Ran didn't expect that the word "all" also included himself. When he found that he had reached the foot of the mountain, he was flattered.

"What peak is this?" Gao Han had no impression of having seen this peak before.

"The Nameless Peak is not among the Lower Nine Peaks, but is on the edge of the Upper Nine Peaks. Because there is a ban covering the entire peak, it cannot be seen from the outside." Yuanran secretly explained to the two.

At that time, they thought it was impossible for them to have any contact with Wuming Peak in a short period of time, so they did not introduce it. Who knew that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

"Tian Dao, I have brought your disciple here." The ethereal voice of Master Zixiao resounded throughout the Nameless Peak, and the voice directly penetrated the restriction.

A moment later, a calm but angry voice was heard from Wuming Peak.

"I haven't said I want to accept a disciple yet, Zixiao, you want to accept a disciple yourself, why do you want to force others to accept a disciple?"

Gao Han was stunned for a moment, it turned out that they hadn't discussed it yet.

"I have said before that if you accept this person, you will not suffer any loss." Master Zixiao remained calm.

"Whether you suffer a loss or not is not up to you, Zixiao. I have sworn that I will never accept another disciple in this life. You can go now."

Master Zixiao laughed instead of getting angry, "Going back on your words is not your style, Heavenly Sword. Are you afraid of repeating the same mistakes you made before? It's been so long, but Heavenly Sword still can't let it go?"

"Your disciples have died in battle one after another, and none of them had a good ending. Even the one who survived was living a life worse than death. How dare you still accept disciples? It would be miserable to be your Zixiao's disciple."

Tian Dao laughed angrily, not sure if it was because his scar was revealed or for some other reason.

"Little kid, if you haven't accepted Zixiao as your master yet, then you should stay as far away as possible. If you follow him, you will not end up well in the end."

"You are trying to sow discord between my master and me." Master Zixiao shook his head.

"That's called provocation. I'm just telling the truth." Tian Dao sneered.

"Forget it." A third party suddenly interrupted.

Yuan Ran looked at Zhongli Tingzhou in horror. Was this great uncle of his going to say something shocking again?

Master Zixiao also looked at Zhongli Tingzhou and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want Gao Han to become his disciple anymore." Zhongli Tingzhou said.

"Why?"

"He can't protect Gao Han. Besides, his timid personality is not suitable for Gao Han. As the saying goes, a red plum will turn redder if he stays with it, and a black plum will turn blacker if he stays with it for a long time. It would be bad if Gao Han gets infected by him." Zhongli Tingzhou shook his head seriously.

Yuan Ran looked at Gao Han woodenly and asked, "Are you just going to let him continue like this?"

Gao Han coughed lightly, "If that's the case, then forget it."

"Hmph, two young brats, you think you can provoke me." Tian Dao could see their true intentions, but whether he was really not provoked, only he knew it.

"It's to provoke you, but it's also the truth. So far, I don't see any benefit from having you as my teacher."

Tian Dao snorted coldly, "You actually said there are no benefits. If I hadn't been in seclusion for so many years, how could your master's fame spread across the world? Being my disciple will bring you more benefits than you can imagine."

"For example?" Zhongli Tingzhou said.

The sky suddenly became quiet.

Perhaps realizing that he had said too much, Tian Dao spoke again after a while.

"Zixiao, is this your disciple? This is different from your previous style of accepting disciples. You actually accepted someone so slick."

Slippery? Yuan Ran was probably the one who was most dissatisfied.

"Just decide whether you agree or not." Master Zixiao did not comment. He just let Zhongli Tingzhou talk, so it was clear that he did not care.

Tian Dao knew it of course, but he was very unhappy that this junior wanted to lead him by the nose.

"If you want me to take him in as my apprentice, I can, but I have one condition."

"You say." Master Zixiao nodded.

"As long as he kills a thousand general-level demons and ten commander-level demons, and no one else can help, and brings their heads to me, I will accept him as my disciple."

Before Master Zixiao could speak, Zhongli Tingzhou interrupted and asked, "Are you sure you are not refusing?"

Demons at the general level are equivalent to spiritual practitioners in the foundation-building stage, while demons at the commander level are in the golden elixir stage.

Gao Han is now in the late stage of foundation building. It is not difficult to defeat a thousand war general demons, but it is extremely difficult to defeat ten commander-level demons.

The commander-level monsters also have strong and weak ones. The stronger ones are at the late Jindan and great perfection levels, and it is impossible to do it in a short period of time.

"I'm just refusing, so what?" Tian Dao was extremely arrogant. "Why, it took you nineteen months to cultivate to the foundation-building stage, but now you don't even have the courage to do this?"

“It would be more convincing if you didn’t add the words at the end,” Zhongli Tingzhou complained.

Gao Han didn't say anything, but in fact he also wanted to complain. They clearly refused at the beginning, but then they played along and provoked them.

"Agree to it." Tiandao fell silent after hearing the complaints. It was unknown whether he was angry or embarrassed. Then Master Zixiao spoke. He knew that this was already the biggest concession Tiandao had made.

"Okay, I agree." Gao Han knew that Master Zixiao would not cheat him.

He doesn't necessarily have to take Tiandao as his master, but Master Zixiao came to Tiandao because of a word from Zhongli Tingzhou. Based on this friendship, he can't waste the other party's kindness and Zhongli Tingzhou's kindness.
