"Authority monitoring, Brother Mu, what should I do?" Upon hearing about authority monitoring, Li Gujian felt uneasy.

With his abilities, encountering authority monitoring would definitely expose him immediately, and Yu Jiasheng would detect his lies.

"Just contact me directly when the time comes, I will find a way to cover for you so that Yu Jiasheng won't detect anything."

Xiao Mu's calm voice came from the strands of hair, showing no concern for Yu Jiasheng's authority detection.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Mu! Xiao Li will remember this."

Li Gujian was overjoyed, and Xiao Mu's promise completely put his mind at ease.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and Captain Qian Xu walked in; he looked sternly at Li Gujian, "Xiao Li, recount the details of encountering the Two-horned King's corpse one more time."

Just as Li Gujian was about to agree, he suddenly felt a heaviness on his body, as if something was pressing down on him; his body instantly became a thousand times heavier.

"Yes, Captain Qian."

While replying, Li Gujian discreetly touched the strand of hair wrapped around his right index finger.

In the Treasure Market, Xiao Mu instantly sensed it and took out the Creation Axe with a swing.

Creation's White Light flickered and directly entered the air, crossing space, and surged into Li Gujian's body.

Li Gujian only felt a lightness on his body, and although the authoritative pressure was still present, it no longer had any effect on him.

He steadied his spirit, calmly, and repeated the same story he had told earlier to Captain Qian Xu.

Qian Xu listened seriously, then waved for Li Gujian to go out.

Vroom, vroom, vroom!

The cellphone vibrated, Qian Xu opened the cellphone, and then saw a notification on the Chat Software.

Leader Yu: No need to continue the investigation, Xiao Li is not lying.

"Brother Zhao, has the task been completed?"

At Zhao Jingyan's home, Cui Lin was extremely concerned about the completion of Zhao Jingyan's task.

"Successfully accomplished!"

Zhao Jingyan replied with a smile.

"Then let's set off!"

Cui Lin greeted him, and the two left the Zhao Family and headed towards the center of Twilight Forest Village.

※※※

"Brother Zhao, Brother Cui, the Perfected invites you in!"

A child who looked to be about ten years old came out from the hall, inviting Zhao Jingyan and Cui Lin to enter.

"Thank you, fellow daoist!"

Zhao Jingyan and Cui Lin greeted the child and then walked into the hall.

"Please take a seat!"

Perfected Gu Ya motioned to Zhao Jingyan and Cui Lin with a wave of his hand; his body was still shrouded in thick Black Mist, sitting on the sofa without any intention of getting up to greet them.

"Perfected, the Imprisoning God Rope that you tasked me to create is ready; please have a look."

After sitting on the sofa, Zhao Jingyan slightly leaned forward and took out the Imprisoning God Rope he had crafted, holding it in his hands.

The black Imprisoning God Rope looked unremarkable, just like an ordinary object.

"Let me check how the craftsmanship of Master Craftsman Zhao is."

Perfected Gu Ya stretched out his hand, and the Imprisoning God Rope suddenly flew out of Zhao Jingyan's hands, neatly landing in his palm.

Zhao Jingyan's expression changed slightly, feeling a burst of nervousness again.

Perfected Gu Ya had once again demonstrated his power with just one move.

The Imprisoning God Rope crafted by Zhao Jingyan had been taken away out of thin air, suggesting that even the treasures crafted by Zhao Jingyan were not as controllable as those by Perfected Gu Ya.

Zhao Jingyan was nervous but did not panic; while Perfected Gu Ya was inspecting the Imprisoning God Rope, he touched the strand of hair given to him by Xiao Mu.

The hair spun, and Xiao Mu instantly sensed it.

He took out the Creation Axe, and swung it towards the air.

White light flickered, and immediately in front of Xiao Mu appeared a strange Huge Mirror.

The Huge Mirror reflected the scene of Zhao Jingyan meeting with Perfected Gu Ya, just like live surveillance.

Xiao Mu's gaze immediately landed on Gu Ya Perfected.

Sizzles!

After obtaining the Imprisoning God Rope, Gu Ya Perfected quickly channeled power into it.

The Imprisoning God Rope immediately released Spiritual Light, and hundreds of small specks appeared on the surface.

With his other hand, Gu Ya Perfected swept over the Imprisoning God Rope, making the specks on its surface flicker and converge towards his hand.

Gu Ya Perfected flipped his hand, and the Imprisoning God Rope wound around his palm.

However, right afterward, with a stretch of his fingers, a soft snap sounded, and the Imprisoning God Rope shattered in his hand.

Zhao Jingyan's complexion changed.

Black Mist enveloped Gu Ya Perfected, and when he looked up at Zhao Jingyan, his tone turned surprisingly gentle, "Not bad, it's a premium treasure. Master Craftsman Zhao, your skills pass the test. From today onward, I allow you to formally join the Master Craftsmen gathering, and together, we will craft treasures."

That scared me for a moment!

Zhao Jingyan heaved a sigh of relief but couldn't help inwardly grumbling as he expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Gu Ya Perfected, for your guidance. I will definitely craft treasures diligently for the gathering."

"Thinking this way, Master Craftsman Zhao, your skills will improve very quickly."

Gu Ya Perfected's tone seemed to carry a smile, "This is the treasure you need to craft next, and this is the reward for crafting the Imprisoning God Rope."

With these words, Gu Ya Perfected waved his hand, and two objects resting on a tray on his left-hand table flew directly towards Zhao Jingyan.

Zhao Jingyan stretched out his hand, and the two objects landed smoothly in his palm.

Zhao Jingyan immediately lowered his head to look carefully. He saw that one of the objects was a blueprint, while the other was a green pill the size of a soybean.

The blueprint was bathed in Spiritual Light, only visible through Divine Consciousness, undoubtedly a Treasure blueprint. The green, soybean-sized pill released an enticing fragrance, which as soon as it was sniffed, seemed to penetrate from the nose throughout the body, giving the sensation as though one's soul was being sublimated.

Here is a Yin God Pill; Master Craftsman Zhao may consume it directly."

Gu Ya Perfected looked at Zhao Jingyan, his tone calm and commanding.

Zhao Jingyan's heart tightened instantly; the pill smelled like it was of the highest quality, feeling like it could bring boundless benefits if consumed, yet he dared not recklessly eat it.

Gu Ya Perfected acted unpredictably, who knew what would happen after consuming this pill.

Nevertheless, under Gu Ya Perfected's watchful eye, he dared not refuse.

As he hesitated, Xiao Mu's voice suddenly transmitted in his Divine Sense, "Eat it without worry!"

"Yes, thank you, Gu Ya Perfected!"

Hearing Xiao Mu's voice, Zhao Jingyan immediately felt reassured, he quickly thanked Gu Ya Perfected, picked up the green pill, and pretended to be delighted as he put it into his mouth and swallowed.

As soon as the green pill entered his stomach, it disappeared within Zhao Jingyan as if it had never existed.

Gu Ya Perfected sitting opposite Zhao Jingyan seemed not to notice anything.

"After returning, look at the blueprint carefully and craft the treasure I need; I will give you more rewards."

Gu Ya Perfected's voice came out from the Black Mist, still indiscernible as either male or female, and carried no emotional fluctuation.

"Yes, Perfected, I will definitely try hard to craft the treasure and live up to your expectations."

Zhao Jingyan pretended to be grateful as he made the promise, to prevent Gu Ya Perfected from noticing anything amiss.

Afterward, Gu Ya Perfected set tasks for Cui Lin, and the two left together.

"Gu Ya Perfected has no issues, she's a Mutated Being from the Human World."

Xiao Mu opened his Spiritual Eye and observed Gu Ya Perfected in the mirror for a long time but couldn't detect any issues from her.

Having once been deceived by the Two-horned King, he did not relax his guard, lightly waved the Creation Axe, and used the Creation Power to probe into Gu Ya Perfected's situation.

Creation's White Light shined on Gu Ya Perfected, and slowly, a delicate figure emerged from the Black Mist.

"Is Gu Ya Perfected a woman?"

Xiao Mu was surprised as he looked at the delicate figure appearing from the Black Mist.

She was a youthful-looking woman in her early twenties, slender, with fair skin, a beautiful appearance, and a delicate yet aloof temperament that involuntarily stirred people's hearts.

Xiao Mu examined the situation of 'Gu Ya Perfected'; her Realm seemed to be in the latter stages of the Divine Spirits, slightly higher than his own by a bit. Her aura exuded the Life and Death essence, and behind her stood a divine judge of the Life and Death System.

However, even though she belonged to the Life and Death System, Gu Ya Perfected showed no trace of being an external Variant, she was purely a Mutated Being from the Human World.

"This is our person from the Human World, not a deity from beyond; what is she doing here?"

Xiao Mu's heart was filled with doubts, questioning the motives of Gu Ya Perfected appearing in Twilight Forest Village.
