"As long as you have enough talent, you don’t need to worry about the medicinal materials here. Work hard."

After listening to Zhang Feng’s words, Mo Wangchen patted his shoulder and continued, "Take me to the Medicinal Materials Hall, let’s see what those tasks are."

"Alright!" Zhang Feng nodded without hesitation and then led Mo Wangchen out of the courtyard.

After about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the Medicinal Materials Hall. Mo Wangchen looked around and saw that there were quite a few disciples present inside the hall.

"Besides exchanging for medicinal materials, can Contribution Points also be used to exchange for Pills?"

As the two walked in, Mo Wangchen asked.

"Pills can also be exchanged. Generally, Pills below rank three cost several hundred Contribution Points each, while higher ones, rank four and five, require over a thousand points," Zhang Feng nodded and explained.

"What about rank six Pills? The ones that help in improvement of cultivation?" Mo Wangchen inquired.

Zhang Feng was taken aback, "Rank six Pills are rare, but there should be some in the Medicinal Materials Hall. As you said, for rank six Pills that aid in cultivation, I know of one called the Beast Spirit Pill!"

"Beast Spirit Pill? What is its use?" Mo Wangchen asked.

"The so-called Beast Spirit Pill is made from the Demon Core of a monster beast. Once crafted successfully, the Pill contains extremely powerful energy. When cultivators consume it, the medicinal effects remain in the body for a long time, thereby accelerating cultivation speed!"

"How many Contribution Points are needed to exchange for one Beast Spirit Pill?" After hearing Zhang Feng’s explanation, Mo Wangchen thought this Beast Spirit Pill could be beneficial for him.

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment, "I remember seeing the exchange requirements for a Beast Spirit Pill before; it seemed to require five thousand Contribution Points..."

"Five thousand..."

Mo Wangchen nodded, "Let’s first look at those tasks and see how many Contribution Points can be earned upon completion."

"Follow me." Zhang Feng led Mo Wangchen towards the task posting area.

Before long, the two of them reached a place similar to a bulletin board. The wall was covered with papers, the writings on which were tasks; aside from the tasks posted by the sect, there were also tasks released by the Pill Sect’s disciples.

Contribution Points could be given to others; if they could help complete tasks, they could earn the corresponding Contribution Value from others.

"Craft twenty rank one Body Refining Pills, deadline half a month, Contribution Value: five points..."

"Craft one rank three Heart Nourishing Pill, alchemy recipe and materials provided. If not fully confident, please do not take the task; failure requires compensation, deadline eight days, Contribution Value: ten points..."

"Find an alchemy recipe for a rank three Dragon Pattern Pill, Contribution Value: fifty points..."

Looking at the tasks posted on the task slips, Mo Wangchen discovered that besides crafting Pills, some tasks required looking for alchemy recipes or crafting Pills with specific effects.

"Craft one rank three Pill for just ten Contribution Points, and a recipe is only fifty points..."

Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brow. These Contribution Values were indeed too difficult to earn. Wanting to get five thousand Contribution Points to exchange for a Beast Spirit Pill probably wasn’t something that could be achieved in the short term.

"It is indeed little, but you can undertake several tasks at once..."

With this thought in his mind, just as Mo Wangchen was about to reach out and take those tasks, a voice suddenly came from behind him and Zhang Feng.

"Hmm?"

"Zhang Feng? Weren’t you prohibited from taking tasks? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, they turned around, and Mo Wangchen found that the speaker was an elder, aged about fifty, at the moment frowning slightly, his gaze fixed on Zhang Feng.

"Oh? It’s Elder Sun Ming? What’s going on?"

"Isn’t that Zhang Feng? A year ago, he took on a task here, to craft ten portions of rank one Pills. Originally, this task was released by the sect, the client was urgently in need. Zhang Feng failed in crafting, making the client furious, and later, to quell things, Elder Sun Ming forbade Zhang Feng from taking tasks, allowing the client to calm down..."

"So he is Zhang Feng, and since he’s been prohibited from taking tasks, why is he still here? No wonder Elder Sun Ming is a bit displeased."

"I heard that yesterday a new Inheritance Disciple came to the sect, identified as a rank three Pill Master, and Zhang Feng was appointed as his servant disciple. Could it be that the young man in white beside him?"

"I’ve heard of him, his name is Mo Wangchen, right? I heard that yesterday he even slapped Liu Ye twice in the plaza..."

As the crowd murmured, their gaze turned to Mo Wangchen standing beside Zhang Feng.

"Elder Sun Ming, I accompanied Senior Brother Mo here. He just entered the sect, many things he hasn’t understood yet..."

Hearing the discussions around, Zhang Feng’s expression was visibly unpleasant. He reluctantly bowed to Elder Sun Ming and explained.

"Are you Mo Wangchen?" Hearing his words, Sun Ming also turned his gaze to Mo Wangchen.

"Greetings, Elder Sun." Mo Wangchen nodded slightly, speaking neither humbly nor overbearingly.

On Sun Ming’s face, Mo Wangchen saw a look of innate arrogance. This type of person was what Mo Wangchen detested most, acting as if they were high above, and no one could meet their eye.

"Humph!"

However, as soon as Mo Wangchen’s words fell, Sun Ming snorted coldly, "Since you just joined the sect, it’s best to behave. I heard about your conflict with someone yesterday. Liu Ye is among the most outstanding in alchemy among the servant disciples, and after this assessment, he will surely pass and become an Inheritance Disciple like you..."

"What does Elder Sun Ming mean by this?"

Before the other could finish speaking, Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brow and interrupted, "Does it matter that I just entered the sect or not? As an Inheritance Disciple, if Liu Ye insults me in front of everyone, should I just stand by and watch?"

"You’re questioning me?" Sun Ming’s face also turned cold, squinting his eyes, his gaze fell on Mo Wangchen.

The atmosphere became a bit strange, and the crowd was shocked. They didn’t expect Mo Wangchen to be so assertive, daring to retort Elder Sun Ming.

"I wouldn’t dare question an elder. I have my style. Liu Ye disrespected his superior, and a couple of slaps were lenient. Besides, this has nothing to do with Elder Sun Ming, so please don’t meddle too much."

Mo Wangchen said indifferently, a look of nonchalance on his face. He knew that an ordinary elder like Sun Ming might have some deterrent power over servant disciples, but he had no grounds to say anything to an Inheritance Disciple like himself.

"You!"

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Sun Ming’s expression turned more somber, but in the end, he just took a deep breath and coldly said, "Joining the sect and daring to come to this Medicinal Materials Hall to take tasks, don’t fail. Otherwise, as the Deacon Elder of the Medicinal Materials Hall, I’ll forbid you from taking tasks here in the future!"

"Don’t trouble yourself with that, Elder Sun..."

Mo Wangchen sneered, not bothering to pay further attention to him. With those words, he turned directly, walked over to the wall covered with tasks, and in full view of the audience, took down a task slip.

The task slip had a forbidden seal; once taken, it signified that the task had been accepted, the seal removed, and the task publisher would sense it.

However, to everyone’s surprise, after Mo Wangchen took down the first task slip, he showed no sign of leaving. His pace slowly moved around, as he repeatedly took down one task after another from the wall...
