Huo Lian's death did not have a significant impact on Ye Ling and others, after all, it was Huo Lian who took the initiative.

The group of four continued on, with Xiao Yun and Ye Ling escorting in front, and Li Feng and Fei Yan behind.

Ye Ling and Xiao Yun chatted without a word, occasionally sneaking a glance at Xiao Yun with the corner of their eyes, and then carefully retracting their gaze.

Li Feng and Fei Yan, who were located in the rear, had already noticed Ye Ling's caution and couldn't help but smile knowingly, without directly pointing it out.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Xiao to be a sword cultivator..." Li Feng sighed, "Sword cultivators are extremely rare. I've never seen them before, I've only heard of them.".

Seeing it today, Dao Xiu was indeed terrifying.

With only the seventh level cultivation of Qi refining, Huo Lian, who was at the peak of Qi refining eight levels, was severely injured with just one strike.

"It's just a pity, Senior Brother Xiao's aura is damaged, only 30%." Fei Yan's face showed regret, and Li Feng beside him was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.

The impact of Qi Hai damage not only affects the ability to exert power, but also affects the ability to reach higher levels in the future. It is definitely more difficult for Xiao Yun to break through to the next level than complete martial arts cultivation of Qi Hai.

The following journey went smoothly without any accidents.

Tianji Hall External Affairs Hall.

Ye Ling directly submitted the task token.

"Silver level task?"

The steward of the Foreign Affairs Hall glanced at Ye Ling with some surprise, because the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Tianji Hall released very few tasks, and there were not many copper level tasks, let alone silver level tasks.

However, the steward of the Foreign Affairs Hall carefully checked the tokens and tasks, and it was indeed a silver level task issued by the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Tianji Hall.

To the deacon's surprise, it was actually a designated task personally issued by the master of the Tianji Temple.

The so-called designated task refers to specifically assigning someone to take it on.

The deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall gave Ye Ling a deep glance, and her previously indifferent attitude changed. She became much more humble and said, "You have completed your task, with a total contribution of 20000. I wonder how you want to allocate it?"

"I suggest dedicating 8000 to Senior Brother Xiao, Senior Brother Li Feng, and Senior Sister Fei Yan. What do you think?" Ye Ling looked at Li Feng and the two of them.

"No problem."

"Let's distribute according to what you said," Li Feng and Fei Yan quickly said.

"Let's distribute according to the average," Xiao Yun couldn't help but say.

"Senior Brother Xiao, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to stand here now. If you don't accept it, we'll all feel sorry," Ye Ling said quickly.

"Miss Ye is right. If it weren't for you, Senior Brother Xiao, we would have died a long time ago."

"Senior Brother Xiao, you deserve it," Li Feng and the others followed suit.

"Since that's the case, then I'm not polite." Xiao Yun no longer hesitated, because he also needed to contribute in exchange for something.

Seeing Xiao Yun accept it, Ye Ling's heart calmed down.

"Deacon, we have completed the silver level task. Can we exchange it for something on the second level?" Ye Ling asked the Foreign Affairs Hall Deacon.

Second layer?

Li Feng and his companions were puzzled.

Only Xiao Yun was surprised because he had previously entered the Inner Sect and naturally knew that there were three levels of exchange in the Foreign Affairs Hall.

The first layer can be exchanged for any disciple of an external sect, including ordinary healing potions, fragments of spirit stones, and occasionally spiritual liquids for cultivation.

The second layer is different, as only characters at the level of Inner Sect disciples and deacons are eligible to exchange, and the items are much better than the first layer.

"Yes, but only silver level tasks can be redeemed." The foreign affairs hall attendant nodded and then opened the cabinet on the second floor.

I saw that the open cabinet was filled with various things, including yellow level lower level martial arts, healing potions, and lower level spirit stones.

"Is that a spiritual medicine?" Li Feng pointed to a vermilion fruit at the very end, which looked like a red jade.

"That's right, it's called Ju Ling Guo. It was accidentally damaged during picking and only has about 10% medicinal properties, so it's placed in the second cabinet. Although this Ju Ling Guo only has 10% medicinal properties, its value is not low and requires 7500 contribution points to exchange." said the deacon.

"So expensive?" Fei Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Their contribution in completing tasks in a year is only 8100, and this time they can earn 4000 contribution, which is equivalent to four years of task volume.

And this spiritual medicine, which is still incomplete, requires 7500 contribution points

"Expensive? Spiritual medicine is extremely rare. Only a million plants of the same kind can produce a spiritual medicine. Moreover, spiritual medicine requires at least ten years of natural cultivation to take shape. Moreover, the spiritual energy condensed in this spirit gathering fruit can be directly absorbed by martial arts practitioners. If it is a complete spirit gathering fruit, swallowing it only contains spiritual energy, which can make martial arts practitioners with the ninth level of Qi refining have the potential to challenge the Rongyuan realm." The foreign affairs hall attendant snorted, "If it weren't for Ye Ling's extraordinary identity, he wouldn't have bothered to explain so much.".

"Could the steward please help me remove it," said Xiao Yun.

"Senior Brother Xiao, do you want to change? This is a contribution of 7500." Li Feng quickly advised, afraid that Xiao Yun would waste his contribution in vain after hearing what the Foreign Affairs Hall Deacon said.

If martial arts cultivation can potentially impact the Rongyuan realm, it is also a complete spirit gathering fruit. This type of spirit gathering fruit, which only has 10% medicinal properties, is difficult to improve even once.

With this 7500 contribution, it's better to exchange all of them for refining liquid. The amount of refining liquid is enough to challenge the eighth level of refining.

"Are you sure you want to change?" the deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall asked Xiao Yun.

"Let's switch." Xiao Yun definitely nodded.

Seeing Xiao Yun insisting on a change, it was difficult for Li Feng and others to say anything. After all, it was Xiao Yun's own desire to change, and even if they felt it was not worth it, it was difficult to stop them.

After the deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall took down the Ju Ling fruit, Xiao Yun put it away properly.

As for the words of Li Feng and others, they changed the refining liquid and other things, but to Xiao Yun's surprise, Ye Ling did not change anything.

"Why don't you change?" Xiao Yun asked.

"I don't need anything at the moment, and the refining liquid and other things are of little use to me." Ye Ling smiled and immediately waved to Xiao Yun, whispering, "Senior Brother Xiao, let's go. I'll take you to a place."

"Going somewhere?" Xiao Yun frowned.

"If you come with me, you'll know." Ye Ling smiled mysteriously and then led the way ahead.

Xiao Yun couldn't resist either, so he couldn't help but follow up.

After a while, Xiao Yun followed Ye Ling to a tall gate, where there were two burly guards at the entrance.

Xiao Yun's face showed surprise because he had been here a few days ago.

This is the main residence of the Tianji Palace. When Xiao Yun was promoted as a disciple of the Inner Sect, he completed the promotion ceremony here.

When the main residence is not promoted, it is the residence of the Tianji Palace Master.

There are a total of eight temple lords in the Outer Sect, each of whom holds a position second only to that of an elder within the Tianluo Sect. In addition, they have jurisdiction over one temple, making them highly influential.

"Miss Ye, what are you bringing me here for?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Senior Brother Xiao, you are a rare sword cultivator in our Tianji Palace. You shouldn't have been buried in the Outer Sect. So, I want to take you to meet someone," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"See who?" Xiao Yun frowned and asked.

"Once you enter, you'll know." Ye Ling teased and pulled Xiao Yun's sleeve as she walked forward.

The two guards did not stop Ye Ling, as if they had already known each other and were accustomed to it. They only glanced at Ye Ling pulling Xiao Yun into the main mansion.
