Lin Feng sighed in his heart as he followed the soldier out the city gates.
“My Lords, I am the gatekeeper of the Longyan County. Please call me Suo Tian,” The soldier who came up to greet Lin Feng and his group carefully introduced himself.
They didn’t go far before Lin Feng saw cultivators wearing differently fashioned robes entering and exiting through an even taller gate.
“Sir, according to the law, please show me your sect certificate.”
Even as a gatekeeper, Suo Tian was intimidated by Lin Feng’s unrestrained aura just now, thus he seemed meek when he said this.
Hearing this, Lin Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Wanqing.
Zhang Wanqing understood and took out the Green Sky Sect’s sect certificate from her storage ring and handed it to Suo Tian who was waiting at the side.
After taking the certificate with both hands, Suo Tian opened it. When he saw the three big words “Green Sky Sect” as well as the huge seal of the Great Spring Dynasty underneath, he knew that the certificate was genuine.
However, even after Suo Tian thought for a long time, he still couldn’t recall ever hearing of the Green Sky Sect that Lin Feng and his group were from.
Based on the Qi of the sword that surrounded them when they had arrived at the city gates, Suo Tian speculated that Lin Feng and the others were probably the disciples that have come out on an adventure from a hidden sect in Longyan County. Otherwise, the Green Sky Sect wouldn’t sound so unfamiliar.
He thought especially so because the aura of Lin Feng who had the Supreme Sword Body was still astonishingly sharp even though he had deliberately restrained it.
On top of that, the only female disciple in the group seemed to have an extraordinary status since the sect certificate was in her hands.
Although the remaining five disciples were slightly weaker, they were still sword cultivators who had comprehended sword intent.
Thinking of this, Suo Tian immediately handed the sect certificate back to Zhang Wanqing respectfully.
“Lords, I have finished my inspection. You may enter the city now.”
Lin Feng looked at the disciples of the other sects who were still in line. He pondered for a while but didn’t say anything more. He nodded at Suo Tian and led the disciples into the city.
At the city gates, Lin Feng and the others had attracted the attention of many cultivators as soon as they arrived.
Even if they were cultivators, they still had to follow the rules and go through the inspection line to enter the city.
Let alone the fact that Lin Feng and the others didn’t even have to queue up to enter the city, even the person who had just checked their sect certificate was a gatekeeper.
This itself said volumes. Even though many were quite displeased for Lin Feng and the others to have entered the city directly, the gatekeeper had personally allowed them to enter. To a certain extent, it represented the will of the government.
The disciples of small sects held the principle that it was better to avoid trouble when they were out. And thus, they would naturally avoid causing trouble for themselves.
However, among the cultivators was one with quite a good cultivation base and could thus see through the matter further than others.
“We absolutely can’t provoke these people. It’s just a small adventurer team, yet all of them are sword cultivators who have the strongest killing power. It’s impossible that they don’t have a large sect supporting behind them!” That cultivator muttered in a low voice. It was unclear whether he was saying it to himself or to remind someone.
The cultivators who were lining up watched as Lin Feng and the others disappeared through the gates and were all discussing in low voices.
“Senior brother, can you tell who those people are with your knowledge?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Those people just now are so intimidating. They didn’t even pay spirit stones to enter the city…”
…
A few of the younger disciples surrounded their senior brothers and were discussing noisily.
“Those people are indeed not to be provoked. Remember, in the future, when you leave the mountain for adventure, don’t get too close to such people if you encounter them,” The slightly older disciple looked at the indignant and depressed expressions on his junior brother’s faces and felt rather smug in his heart as he said, “Among those people just now, I can tell from the temperament of the leaders of the group, that man and woman, that they’re from a large sect. The five people behind them who are slightly weaker should be their brothers who are following them on their adventure. Most importantly, there are seven people in a small team, and all of them are sword cultivators!”
As soon as the person said that, the surrounding disciples all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Sword cultivators had the highest lethality. Although the time needed for them to grow was twice as long as Qi cultivators, and the resources they needed for their cultivation were also multiplied, they could crush the Qi cultivators of the same level!
If a sect wasn’t strong enough, how could they have nurtured so many sword cultivators, let alone top-tier sword cultivators?
Putting aside the commotion caused by Lin Feng and the others at the city gates.
After entering the city, Lin Feng wanted to stroll around the streets, but his junior sister only wanted to gather the materials and return to the sect to forge the wonder.
Thus, the dignified sect master of the Green Sky Sect who had wanted to stroll around could only helplessly admit defeat after his junior sister stared coldly at him for ten seconds.
He allowed his junior sister to lead the way to their destination, the Longying Pavilion.
The Longying Pavilion was a special organization of the Great Spring Dynasty.
It was directly under the control of the Royal Family, and its existence was somewhat similar to that of the mercenary unions that Lin Feng was familiar with.
In the few large regions, the humans only lived on thirty percent of the land, the remaining seventy percent were all high mountains and deep valleys where human activity was scarce.
There were few human activities in the mountains and forests like this, because those places were the paradise for demons and poisonous creatures, which made them the forbidden areas for humans.
The original purpose of the establishment of the Longying Pavilion was to issue missions on exterminating such creatures that the officials could not solve in time. The missions could be used as a form of practice for the sect disciples who had left their mountains for adventures.
After completing the mission one took, one could receive the corresponding rewards from the Longying Pavilion.
When Zhang Wanqing said that she had heard about the remaining three materials in Longyan County, she had in fact seen them among the mission rewards of the Longying Pavilion.
This was Lin Feng’s first time coming to the Longying Pavilion. He followed his junior sister into the hall and was looking around when a receptionist in uniform walked toward them.
“Greetings to the Lords of the Green Sky sect. You can call me Yisan.”
Lin Feng was a little surprised that the person who came up to greet them could y tell their sect at a glance.
The receptionist’s words were very polite. He didn’t look down on them due to the current low status of the Green Sky sect.
“We are here to take missions. Can you give us a brief introduction about the recent missions?” Lin Feng straightforwardly told him the purpose of their trip.
With a polite smile on his face, Yisan didn’t show any impatience as he led the group to the mission board and introduced the mission that was most suitable for them.
“There are several herbalists from Qingyan Village of the neighboring Qinglin Town who have gone missing on their way up the mountain to pick herbs. According to the feedback from the cultivators who have been there in the past, the demons are behind this…” Yisan explained the mission slowly with a heavy expression.
This mission had been on the board for a long time. Due to the generous rewards, many had attempted to complete it, but none have succeeded thus far.
“If you are willing to accept this mission, what you have to do is to go to Qingyan Village and kill the demons who have been causing trouble everywhere. The reward for this mission is that you will be allowed to choose three items from the list of treasures in the Longyin Pavilion’s branch in Longyan County.”

As soon as Yisan finished speaking, he looked at the man and woman in the lead with a slightly expectant expression.
After Lin Feng heard the mission requirements, he thought for a while and didn’t hesitate anymore.
“Alright, we’ll accept this mission. As for the reward, get the Nephrite, Golden Thunder Bamboo, and Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron ready for me.”
Yisan was slightly stunned as he watched Lin Feng state the rewards he wanted with confidence.
He didn’t expect the Green Sky Sect to have such confidence..
