Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Irrelevant People

In the room, Chen Yue addressed everyone, "No issues then, let me start explaining the mission."

The others bowed their heads, not daring to interrupt.

"The mission is in the Demon Beast Garden, it will take till this afternoon to get there.

You have seven days, and if you can make five juvenile demon beasts submit first, then you’re successful.

Remember it’s not about subduing adult demon beasts, but juvenile ones.

After submitting the mission, you will receive a Token, and can then claim your reward.

If you can’t complete it in seven days, then there’s no need to report back to me," Chen Yue looked at the group and asked, "Any other questions?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Then let’s set off, today is the first day of the mission," Chen Yue stated calmly.

With that, the five of them exited.

Outside, Zhong Bing and the others looked towards Gu An.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, is there something?" Gu An looked at the four.

All four were at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Zhong Bing seemed to be a Forging Master, Feng Mei a Talisman Maker, and the other two Gu An did not know.

It seemed they were not bad either.

"Nothing, we just want to complete the mission as soon as possible, Junior Brother knows the way, right?" Zhong Bing asked with a light chuckle,

"I’m just worried that you might get lost halfway."

Gu An bowed and thanked him, "No need to worry, Senior Brother."

Afterward, the others started to quickly leave.

Gu An kept following behind.

With Hundred Steps Chasing Wind activated, he followed the group neither hastily nor sluggishly.

Even though he was only at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, it was a level he had attained after nine refinements.

Close to evening, as soon as Zhong Bing and the others arrived, Gu An followed.

This made the four of them look a bit displeased.

On the way, they couldn’t shake off someone at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement, even at full power.

"Junior Brother has learned Hundred Steps Chasing Wind well, being older does have its advantages," said the muscular man.

Gu An nodded, not uttering a word.

The others didn’t continue, preferring to maintain silence.

Gu An began observing the place.

A row of uniformly constructed buildings, some traces of Arrays were evident.

Past the buildings, many large trees could be seen.

Around them were demon-like creatures resembling snow wolves lying on the ground, staring at them.

They had arrived at the Demon Beast Garden.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came out.

He quickly approached Zhong Bing and politely said, "Junior Brother Zhong, right? I’ve heard a lot about you. Seeing you today, you truly are a talented individual with profound and rich Spiritual Energy cultivation. No wonder the Inner Sect seniors value you so much."

"Senior Brother Luo is too kind," smiled Zhong Bing as he bowed in greeting.

"Next to you are Junior Sister Feng Mei, Junior Brother Miao Yong, and Junior Sister Tongtong, right?"

"Pleased to meet you, Senior Brother Luo," the three greeted with a bow.

"Let’s go, let’s go inside," Senior Brother Luo beckoned with a smile.

They walked ahead while Gu An followed.

But just as they had taken a few steps, Senior Brother Luo, seemingly noticing this "uninvited guest," curiously asked, "And who might this elderly gentleman be?"

"Gu An," Gu An replied politely,

"I’m one of the participants in this mission."

"Oh?" Senior Brother Luo expressed surprise, "Which Inner Sect senior recommended you?"

"I was just lucky to get the slot," Gu An responded.

"Then you are indeed lucky to be able to come here at your age," said Senior Brother Luo casually, then turned his attention back to Zhong Bing with enthusiasm, "Junior Brother, this way, let me explain the mission to you."

Pausing, he looked towards Gu An, "This is a private discussion, unrelated people shouldn’t follow. Go complete your mission on your own."

Eventually, Gu An watched the others leave, standing alone at the original spot.

Entering the gate, there was a big hall.

There were still some people working around.

As he approached a counter, Gu An saw a young man inside noting something down.

Sensing someone’s presence, he immediately looked up and then stood up, "El, elder, do you need anything?"

Elder?

Gu An felt surprised for a moment, "It’s the first time someone has called me elder."

"You’re joking, elder," said the young man seriously,

"Your cultivation must be very high."

"Qi Refining Second Layer?" Gu An asked.

"Yes, my talents are inferior," the young man said, lowering his head in embarrassment.

"I’m here to complete a task, catching Demon Beasts. Do you know about this?" Gu An asked plainly.

"I know," the young man nodded.

After the other party explained, Gu An understood the general idea.

In the woods, there’s a Demon Beast Nest, where cubs can be found.

As long as they put a collar around the necks of those cubs, the task is considered complete.

But catching the cubs is not easy.

After all, there are many Demon Beasts watching over.

"Where are the collars?" Gu An asked.

"They’re with Captain Luo," the young man answered.

Gu An nodded.

It seems the other party has no intention of giving one to him.

Without further thought, he asked, "What Cultivation Technique are you cultivating?"

"The Nourishing Life Technique," the young man said awkwardly.

It’s the weakest cultivation technique.

"How many layers does the technique record?"

"Just three."

Gu An nodded, then took out a book and handed it to the other party: "This can be cultivated up to the ninth layer, it’s for you."

For a moment, Gu An somewhat understood why Hua Jiyang had given him a cultivation technique before.

It wasn’t very valuable, just a casual gift if he took a liking to someone.

It was of no great consequence.

But that was all.

If it were the Qi Breathing Chapter or Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he still wouldn’t be able to give them away.

So, Hua Jiyang was still excessively good to him.

Observing his surroundings, Gu An already understood the flow of the task.

All he had to do was bring back a Demon Beast and register with Senior Brother Luo.

Get the Token for completing the task and then go find Chen Yue to receive the reward.

The first person to complete gets the priority to choose the reward.

With this in mind, Gu An decided to go in and have a look.

However, when he was about to leave, he found out that Zhong Bing and the others had also arrived.

"Is Junior Brother also going to complete the task?" Zhong Bing said with a smiling face:

"We just got the locations of five Demon Beast Nests, want us to give you one?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Gu An nodded.

Then he got a map.

There didn’t seem to be any tricks, but rather than heading in blindly, he preferred to go and see for himself.

Soon after, the five of them set out together.

However, it wasn’t long before Gu An split from them.

Passing through the woods, he saw a Demon Beast Nest.

The Demon Beasts here were like cheetahs, with steady Spiritual Energy, always ready to burst out.

Their limbs, teeth, all possessed remarkable power.

Standing on a tree, Gu An felt quite emotional.

When these Demon Beasts burst out, it’s like the attack of someone at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

And nearby the nest, there were at least twenty to thirty.

Even more inside, there were two extremely terrifying Demon Beasts, incomparable to those outside.

Even he would have to retreat for a bit.

If surrounded by them, anything could happen.

Additionally...

Gu An looked carefully; there seemed to be no cubs in the nest.

If not for his strong sensing ability, he would have foolishly rushed in.

Shaking his head and sighing, Gu An concealed his Qi and left the place.

He decided to follow up and see.

Since there were none here, there must be some where Zhong Bing and the others were.

In just the time it took to finish a cup of tea.

Gu An saw a campfire surrounded by four people.

"Gu An, that old guy, should have found the nest by now," Miao Yong said excitedly:

"He might even be thanking Senior Brother Zhong."

"He wouldn’t dream that not only are there no cubs there, but there’s also a Demon King about to achieve Foundation Establishment," Tongtong added.
