The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 226

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 extension of time and the unbelievable cultivation method of directly swallowing his spirit stones helped Anita improve his realm impressively.

On the last day of the mission, the spiritual Qi in Anita’s body accumulated to a shocking level, and he could vaguely feel the signs of breaking through.

‘There are a few more days left…’ Anita calculated 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 list competition

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

“Hm…”

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 palace.

However, a eunuch could not grow such a thick beard like his

At the thought of that, Anita wanted to laugh.

The diddle-aged man seemed to notice Anita’s action, and he glared 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 glance 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’ completion 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 flashed 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. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The elder looked at Anita for quite some time as if trying to see whether Anita laid.

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 planned to do and why he said so much.

Nonetheless, Anita could not care less if the mission was considered a success 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 black plate about the size of a palm.

He could not tell the quality of the plate, but it was heavy and warm, and there were even some zigzag lines on its surface.

As iflhe noticed the doubt in Anita’s eyes, the elder commented, “I know the sect contribution points for that task might be a bit less, so take this as compensation.

”

Then, he pointed at the black plate and said, ” I got it from a secret realm from a trip last 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 plate.

”

If the elder were not in front of him right now, Anita would surely roll his eyes a few times.

What type of compensation was that?

The plate 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 plate‘s quality was indeed rare, and Anita planned to bring it back and keep it just in case it would come 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 flashed 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.
