"Perhaps the Ultimate Demon Emperor Zhao Wuji is hiding there!"

Duan Gujin thought to himself.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Seeing the change in Duan Gujin's expression, Elder Wan asked.

"A little! That place is truly terrifying!"

Duan Gujin honestly replied.

"Yes, but in the future, you must not be scared. Our Blood Killing Sect's higher-ups will take control of that place. You should focus on your cultivation. I believe that you will certainly pass our Inner Sect Disciple Assessment! You must work hard!"

Elder Wan encouraged.

"Thank you, Elder Wan!"

Duan Gujin said respectfully.

"You're welcome!"

After a bit of polite exchange, Duan Gujin bid farewell to Elder Wan.

"If even the experts from the Divine World cannot handle that Zhao Wuji, then even if the entire Blood Killing Sect were to go together now, I fear it would be akin to delivering themselves to death! Moreover, Zhao Wuji has that Red Fierce Monkey guarding him, so he's likely just hiding for now!"

"I hope the people of Blood Killing Sect aren't foolish enough to believe there's some kind of Demon Saint's treasure vault there! There might not be any treasure at all; there might only be a grim reaper waiting for them!"

Thinking of how terrifying Zhao Wuji was, Duan Gujin felt a chill running down his spine.

He calmed himself first and then went to the Outer Disciple registration area.

The Outer Disciple who saw that Duan Gujin was holding a recommendation letter from Elder Wan immediately processed all the procedures for Duan Gujin. That disciple certainly didn't dare to play any tricks.

Duan Gujin was smoothly integrated into the Blood Killing Sect, and the next day he received the classics that an Outer Disciple of Blood Killing Sect should possess.

Reading through these classics, he realized that being an Outer Disciple was almost the same as being a servant. He couldn't just eat and drink for free here; Outer Disciples were required to work.

Although he was recommended by Elder Wan, he still needed to complete the tasks that an Outer Disciple should complete.

Out of boredom, Duan Gujin decided to complete one or two tasks for Outer Disciples.

He went to the Outer Disciple task reception area and checked the task board on a wall, preparing to accept tasks that an Outer Disciple should complete.

Although the Blood Killing Sect was not a sect that specialized in Alchemy, some elders of the Blood Killing Sect needed special Spiritual Medicine to satisfy the Sect's unique Cultivation Techniques, which helped disciples improve their cultivation.

For example, the Cultivation Technique of the Blood Killing Sect required the consumption of a large amount of Life Essence Blood.

If properly replenished, the general consumption of Life Essence Blood could easily be recovered.

But if the replenishment was untimely and the consumed Life Essence Blood could not be restored quickly, it would leave hidden problems in the martial artist's body, causing fatal injuries to the martial artist's future cultivation.

Duan Gujin looked at the tasks on the task board, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw that on the task board, it was written that a certain elder needed a hundred Fire Poison Bees as medicinal catalysts.

What shocked Duan Gujin the most was that capturing a hundred Fire Poison Bees would earn a thousand Merit Points.

In the Blood Killing Sect, an Outer Disciple had to complete tasks worth two thousand Merit Points every month.

If an Outer Disciple could not complete tasks worth two thousand Merit Points, they would have no choice but to leave the Blood Killing Sect.

Duan Gujin's mind quickly flashed with a thought, he pondered that the reward seemed too generous.

The greatest effect of these Fire Poison Bees was to help martial artists expel the fire poison from their bodies and quickly replenish the life essence blood consumed by martial artists.

Duan Gujin had dealt with Fire Poison Bees before, and he knew that these bees were formidable. Once bitten, one's body would immediately turn black.

If treated promptly, there would be no serious consequences.

If treatment was delayed, at best there would be severe injuries, at worst death.

In his past life, Duan Gujin had accidentally found the queen bee among the Fire Poison Bees and discovered Queen Bee Honey, which could help a martial artist enhance their cultivation.

His significant improvement in cultivation in his previous life was thanks to the Queen Bee Honey found in the Fire Poison Bee nest.

Without that accident, he wouldn't have been able to break through from the Ninth Layer Martial Monarch to the Martial Master First Layer so easily.

"Friend, may I ask why the reward for this Fire Poison Bee task is so high? It seems somewhat unreasonable?"

Duan Gujin hurriedly asked.

"This task is very reasonable. Near where the Fire Poison Bees reside, some abnormalities have appeared. You know about the area where a dense fog suddenly emerged, right? The mountaintop where a large number of Fire Poison Bees used to exist has been half-occupied by that dense fog. It is said that now it has become very difficult to find Fire Poison Bees. There used to be many Fire Poison Bees here, and originally they were not valuable, but now that region has been occupied by the dense fog, these Fire Poison Bees have become scarce. Hence, the elders above are in great need of these Fire Poison Bees, and for this reason, the elders are willing to exchange each Fire Poison Bee for ten merit points!"

The disciple immediately explained with patience.

Having heard this, Duan Gujin finally understood, and without hesitation, he accepted the task.

After preparing everything, he immediately set off for Poison Bee Mountain.

Now, in Duan Gujin's hands was a map prepared specifically for every disciple by the Blood Killing Sect. The map labeled the names of many places along with what spiritual medicine or demon beasts could be found there.

The Blood Killing Sect issued this map to every disciple upon their initiation to avoid the disciples wasting time in vain.

Duan Gujin glanced over the map and some descriptions and felt that the Blood Killing Sect was quite considerate.

What surprised Duan Gujin the most was that Poison Bee Mountain was actually very close to the area occupied by the dense fog.

"Damn it, I thought I would never return there, but in the end, it seems I have to go back!"

Duan Gujin took a serious look at the map and realized that Poison Bee Mountain was already half occupied by the dense fog region.

However, he didn't have the luxury to worry about that now. He figured he should complete this task first.

Of course, he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to find a Fire Poison Bee's queen nest there and find treasures from it.

In his last life, his luck had enabled him to find Queen Bee Honey in a queen nest, which had allowed him to improve his cultivation.

He didn't believe that he would have the same kind of luck in this life.

Following the directions on the map, Duan Gujin arrived at Poison Bee Mountain.

He released his Divine Sense, and soon he saw the area ahead shrouded in dense fog.

"I'm dizzy, so Poison Bee Mountain has already been covered by dense fog!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath, calmed himself down, and then entered Poison Bee Mountain.

He was there to search for Fire Poison Bees.

He released his Divine Sense, but he discovered, to his surprise, that he couldn't find any Fire Poison Bees here.

"I'm dizzy! It seems that what the disciple said was true, all the Fire Poison Bees here have fled!"

Duan Gujin paced around the mountain peak, shaking his head. He had already circled the entire peak but still hadn't found any Fire Poison Bees.
