Chapter 225
After Anita finished noting down the record today, he looked at the weather.
It was already in the middle of December, which would be the coldest month of the year.
Back in Salleria, Anita would distinctively fee
For the following days, besides noting down the growth of the strange fish three times a day, Anita
would be at the Time Warp Zone cultivating at all times.
Hence, the 30 days mission became 90 days in the Time Warp Zone.
The extsion of time and the unbelievable cultivation method of directly swallowing his spirit stones
helped Anita improve his realm impressively.
On thest day of the mission, the spiritual Qi in Anita’s body umted to a shocking level, and he
could vaguely feel the signs of breaking through.
‘There are a few more days left…’ Anita calcted the time.
It was now the seventh of January, and after passing up the task, there would only be 13 days left until
the spiritual apprentice listpetition.
Later, Anita cleaned up the dust in the hut and was ready to leave.
However, just as he went out, Anita suddenly saw a bearded middle-aged man standing outside the
door.
Anita was already shocked to find the person appearing in front of the hut quietly without him noticing.
Yet, the middle-aged man emitted a magnificent aura, causing Anita to find it difficult to breathe.
When Anita noticed that the person’s attitude was different from ordinary disciples, Anita’s eyes faintly
glimmered, and he cupped his hands as he greeted, “It’s nice to meet you, Master.
I’m Casper Montgomery.
Anita’s words were tentative, but at the same time, he wanted to divert the man’s attention and reduce
the pressure emitting from the man.Sure enough, as soon as he said that, Anita immediately felt the
oppression in the surroundings lightened, and the prickly feeling at his back also disappeared by more
than half.
“Hmm…”
The man was really arrogant.
He only nodded, headed into the hut, and walked around.
From time to time, the man would also wipe the tabletops and the window eaves with his fingers,
pushing it a bit, and looking at his finger after that.
The man’s actions were odd, as it was as if he checked the sanitization of the area.
Anita thought it was strange, and he felt as if the man was the chief eunuch in charge of supervising
cleanliness in the pce.
However, a eunuch could not grow such a thick beard like his.
At the thought of that, Anita wanted tough.
The middle-aged man seemed to notice Anita’s action, and he red at Josua.
Then, he turned around and walked out of the backyard, saying, “Follow me…”
The man did not refute Anita’s form of address for him just now, which meant he tacitly acquiesced in
his identity as an elder.
Since he was the sect’s elder, Anita also did not argue and followed the man to the backyard.
id not look at the strange fish in the pond but directly walked toward the daily record book and flipped to
the end.
As he carefully read the observations, he would nce at Anita from time to time.
Anita stood respectfully by the side with his hands at his sides.
If Anita still could not guess the elder’s identity, then he was undoubtedly a fool.
That elder was the Cheapskate that posted that task.
However, Anita was curious as to why the man was here.
He never heard that the elders would check on the disciples’pletion of missions.At that time, the
elder finally said, “There were two missing records.
What happened?”
The daily recording would be three times a day, morning, noon, and evening.
However, Anita did not expect to lose so much energy when he first showcased the Pointing to the
Stars, and he passed out in the Time Warp Zone for two days.
Thus, Anita missed out on two of the records that day.
When the elder questioned Anita about that, he honestly answered, “I had some mishaps during the
practice that day, and I lost much Qi and blood, causing me to lose consciousness for more than half a
day.
Hence, I did not manage to note down the record.
“Do you know that your mistake can cause your mission to be deemed as failed? If that’s the case, you
won’t be able to get any reward.
For newly-entered apprentices like you, sect contribution points are crucial.
Are you aware of that?” The elder said sternly, trying to make the consequences sound dire.
Anita could not help but pout, and he thought, “Your two sect contribution points are much lesser than
what I have.
If I tell you that your so-called ‘newly-entered apprentice’ has over thirty sect contribution points, will
you still say such things?”
Although Anita silently cursed at the elder, he did not show it on his face.
Then, he replied neither humble nor arrogantly, “If there’s an error with the mission, I should be
punished.
Thank you for the reminder, Master.
When the elder saw that Anita was not frightened by his words, a strange light shed in his eyes.
Then, the elder immediately said, “Then, why didn‘t you just fill in the records? The daily records are
the same, and there’s only you here.
No one will know if you did that.
When Anita heard that, he could not help but roll his eyes.
That was the first time he heard of an elder of the sect persuading their disciples to resort to trickery.
Although that was not impossible, it was still against Anita‘s belief.
Therefore, Anita replied with a straight face, “No one might know about it, but as I’m going down the
path of immortality, I only want to have a great understanding and significantly improve myself.
Hence, if l don’t observe anything but note it down anyway, it’ll be against my conscience, and I might
keep thinking about this time from this day onward, and it’ll soon leave a mark on me.
Losing my perseverance for the sake of two sect contribution points… Well, I’m still able to differentiate
the importance of this choice.
When Anita said that, his gaze burned.
He told the elder the truth, and he had nothing to hide.
The elder looked at Anita for quite some time as if trying to see whether Anitaid.
In the end, he nodded.
“Alright…”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and hand it the task first.
Anita did not know what the elder nned to do and why he said so much.
Nheless, Anita could not care less if the mission was considered a sess or otherwise, and he
wanted to hand in the task first.
However, the elder stopped him at that time, and he even tossed something at him.
Anita took it, and there was a ck te about the size of a palm.
He could not tell the quality of the te, but it was heavy and warm, and there were even some zigzag
lines on its surface.
As if he noticed the doubt in Anita’s eyes, the eldermented, “I know the sect contribution points for
that task might be a bit less, so take this aspensation.
Then, he pointed at the ck te and said, ” I got it from a secret realm from a tripst time, and the
drawing on the surface is a secret realm’s map.
If you have the opportunity to enter in the future, you might have a fortuitous adventure with this te.
If the elder were not in front of him right now, Anita would surely roll his eyes a few times.
What type ofpensation was that?
The te was nothing but a lie.
It would be almost impossible for a cultivator to bump into a secret realm in their life.Hence, Anita could
not help but think the elder should have given him ten spirit stones rather than that junk Nevertheless,
the wooden te‘s quality was indeed rare, and Anita nned to bring it back and keep it just in case it
woulde in handy for weapon refining next time.
Whether it would be helpful, Anita would just regard it as a refining material
At the thought of that, Anita bowed.
“Thank you, Master.
I’ll take my leave first.
”The elder watched as Anita walked away until he disappeared from his line of sight.
At the same time, the elder’s eyes shed with interest.
“This kid is something else…”

After he said that, he took out a messenger.
If Anita were still here, he would notice the familiar pattern on the messenger.
