Yi Lao left, and Xiao Yi stayed there for a moment.

After getting along for a month, Xiao Yi roughly understood Yi Lao's personality.

Although he is an eccentric old man, he is indeed a senior who deserves his respect.

Yi Lao had his own reasons for asking him to redeem that thing.

Xiao Yi even discovered that Yi Lao seemed to be doing it intentionally and creating a perfect cultivation process for himself.

From the guidance on martial arts knowledge on the first day, to the guidance on refining medicine this month.

Every step seems to be tailor-made for you, most suitable for your current practice.

This is no longer simply giving advice, but more like a master teaching his disciples step by step.

Xiao Yi shook his head with emotion, turned around and left. This month, he had lived a very fulfilling life.

.....

The Outer Gate Mission Office has its own Outer Gate deacon working here.

Xiao Yi probably took a look at the mission introduction here and probably understood it.

There are many tasks, some are easy and some are difficult; the sword points obtained are also different.

Easy ones, such as helping the Sword Sect clean the palace, sweep the steps in the back mountain, plant trees, clear weeds, etc.

There is no difficulty, but the sword points are only 5 to 10 points.

The most important thing is that during cleaning and planting, you are not allowed to use infuriating energy and martial arts. You have to rely on your own hands and complete it step by step.

This seems to be quite time-consuming. It would take at least a week to clean all the outer palaces without using the infuriating energy and martial spirit.

Xiao Yi understood that these tasks sharpened the disciple's character and patience.

The sword point of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect is a means of motivation; the tasks also have various uses to train disciples.

The difficult task is to go out and experience it.

There are many kinds of experience tasks, but in general, most of them involve killing some designated monsters.

Its purpose is to test the disciple's cultivation strength.

You can only kill monsters by yourself, without the help of others or family influence.

These tasks have a certain degree of danger and are more difficult, but they also have higher sword points.

Generally between 20 and 40 points; it depends on the strength of the monster killed.

"I will take these twenty tasks." Xiao Yi came to the outer door deacon, pointed at the task list, and said politely.

The deacon looked at the task list for a few times, nodded and said, "These twenty tasks are all about killing level three peak monsters, each worth 30 sword points. Okay, record it."

After that, the deacon took out an ice crystal ball and said, "This is an ice crystal ball. Remember to use it when you kill monsters."

The ice crystal ball is the product of a high-level alchemist.

It is refined from ice crystals and a series of complex materials.

It can imprint battle scenes and record the situation of both sides.

For example, the cultivation level of both parties, whether they were seriously injured, etc.

This means that disciples must rely on themselves when completing tasks and cannot ask for help from others.

Of course, ice crystal balls also have limitations, depending on the refiner.

If the aura fluctuation generated during combat is higher than the ice crystal ball's endurance limit, it will become ineffective.

To put it simply, if Xiao Yi or the monster is stronger than the ice crystal ball's refiner, it will be ineffective.

Judging from the level of this ice crystal ball, it should only be refined by an ordinary fourth-level alchemist, and its effect is only around the third level of Dongxuan.

Xiao Yi took the ice crystal ball, then turned and left.

After completing these twenty tasks, you can get a total of 600 sword points.

By the way, in the second round of assessment, there will be rewards for the top ten, which are fixed sword points.

Originally, when Xiao Yi was taking the assessment, he heard that the top ten in the second round of assessment could directly go to the inner gate treasure house to exchange items.

Later, after listening to Yi Lao's explanation, I realized that it was not a direct exchange, but a reward of sword points, and then I could choose it myself.

Come to think of it, the treasures in the inner treasury are of higher quality than those in the outer treasury, so how could they be given away casually?

For the top ten, the first place gets 2,000 sword points; the second to tenth place each gets 1,000 sword points.

According to the usual situation of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, the talent of the top ten people in the second round of assessment can generally pass the third round of assessment and enter the inner sect.

Therefore, after the second round of assessment, we did not go directly to the inner gate treasure house. Instead, we passed the third assessment first and then went to the inner gate treasure house after entering the inner gate.

These ten people include the sword points obtained in the first round of assessment.

The two rounds of assessments combined are enough to exchange for excellent items in the inner sect's treasure house to assist in one's cultivation or enhance one's strength.

This is a gift given by the Sky Splitting Sword Sect to new disciples, and it is also a disguised form of help.

In fact, this is indeed the case. In the first two assessments this year, the top ten people all entered the inner gate.

Except for Xiao Yi, they were not able to enter due to Gu Changkong's interference.

Therefore, he could not go to the inner gate treasure house to exchange for anything.

After these two rounds of assessment, he accumulated more than 4,500 sword points.

Adding these twenty tasks is enough.

And these twenty tasks, with his strength, can be completed within one month and return to the Sword Sect.

Yi Lao also knew about this situation and knew that Xiao Yi was only a few hundred sword points away from redeeming the thing, so he asked Xiao Yi to come and pick up the mission. He would be back in a few months at most.

Otherwise, if Xiao Yi is short of several thousand sword points, even if he keeps doing tasks, he will still have to do it for several years.

Then it would be better to find another way to break through the Dongxuan Realm.

After taking over the task, Xiao Yi went to the mountain gate.

Just as he was about to report to the outer deacon guarding the mountain gate, dozens of figures suddenly stopped in front of him.

The leader was actually Gu Changfeng.

"Huh?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Boy, you make it easy for me to find you." Gu Changfeng sneered.

"Do you think hiding will be useful? I haven't caught you yet."

"Hide?" Xiao Yi's brows were still furrowed.

"Humph, you are still quibbling." Gu Changfeng said proudly, "After you arrived at the outer gate area, you did not report to the deacon's office, let alone live in your residence. Is it because you were afraid that I would retaliate against you?"

Xiao Yi's face turned cold and he finally understood.

This month, I did not go to the normal residence of the outer disciples, but went to the back mountain to practice alone.

The Sky Splitting Sword Sect is built on the mountain and is very large.

The back mountain was also deserted, so naturally no one knew where they had gone.

This Gu Changfeng may have been thinking about revenge on him for a long time, but he never found him, so he thought he was hiding.

"Xiao Yi, stop talking nonsense. Today, we are here to challenge you. Just tell us whether you dare to accept it."

"Don't tell me, you are a coward."

Gu Changfeng said coldly.

Within the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, it is forbidden for members of the same sect to fight each other, but they encourage each other to challenge each other.

Moreover, the winning side can also get 10 sword points from the losing side.

Every month, each disciple has three opportunities. When challenging others, others must accept and cannot refuse.

This is another way for disciples to earn sword points.

Of course, strong people will save more and more sword points; weak people will have fewer and fewer sword points.

Outer disciples can receive 30 sword points from the Sword Sect every month; if they lose all three times exactly, they will lose it.

And after these three opportunities, if there is still a challenge, it depends on the willingness of both parties. If one party is not willing, the battle cannot begin.

This is a sect rule.

It seems that the dozen people in front of them, as well as Gu Changfeng, have used up all three opportunities this month.

Otherwise, I would not be asking for my opinion now.

If he agrees, the battle will begin at any time.

If they don't agree, they can only give way obediently.

Seeing Xiao Yi's silence, Gu Changfeng sarcastically said, "Trash, I knew you didn't dare to accept it. Hum, kneel down and give me a few nods on the head, then get out."

At this time, a person next to Gu Changfeng suddenly said, "Mr. Changfeng, just forget it if you gain face. I heard that Xiao Yi is very close to Yi Lao."
