Chapter 70 Sect Task

Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Sect Task

Lin Chen arrived at the Jade Cauldron Sect’s task hall.

The hall was paved with jade, and its walls were made of golden bricks; it was grand and imposing. Lin Chen felt a wave of awe as he walked in.

There were people coming and going inside the task hall, nearly a thousand in total.

These people were all there to accept sect tasks, including both Outer Sect Disciples and many Inner Sect Disciples.

On the front wall of the task hall, numerous tasks hung, with screens of light displaying the relevant information.

Below in the hall, disciples responsible for managing tasks wrote down the task details on specially made jade slips, labeled the rewards, and sorted them by grade. Then, they threw these jade slips towards the upper section of the wall, where the slips flew up to directly display a task.

Clearly, these jade slips were low-level magic treasures.

The tasks were divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow grades. Lin Chen stood beneath the wall, scrutinizing them.

All tasks provided Sect Contribution Points, but the Yellow grade tasks offered very few points, just a few to ten points per task.

The content of these tasks was also quite simple, such as helping someone watch their house, looking for someone’s lost spiritual beast, or assisting with deliveries.

Although these tasks offered few contribution points, they were free of danger, making them a good way for disciples with low cultivation to earn sect contribution points. After all, there was always a need for manpower to provide labor within the sect.

Furthermore, completing sect tasks also provided a small amount of study points. For those disciples who did not wish to study literary courses, this was a good method to complete their study points while earning Sect Contribution Points.

Lin Chen did quite well in his study of various literary and logical knowledge, and naturally, he didn’t need this method to earn study points.

These Sect Contribution Points were truly meager, and Lin Chen didn’t have the time to waste on Yellow grade tasks, so he disregarded them completely.

Next were the Profound Grade Tasks, which could earn dozens to hundreds of Sect Contribution Points.

Consider that ten Sect Contribution Points could be exchanged for a Spirit Gathering Pill. Therefore, completing a Profound Grade Task could exchange for at least three or four Spirit Gathering Pills, which is why most Martial Artists in the Spirit Gathering Realm chose Profound Grade Tasks.

The content of Profound Grade Tasks involved helping people pick herbal materials, mine ores, look after Medicine Gardens, and acting as escorts, among other things.

Profound Grade Tasks also contained almost no danger but required a higher level of knowledge from the martial artists. For instance, if you were asked to gather herbs, you would certainly need to know where and what the herbal materials look like.

Such tasks were within Lin Chen’s consideration, as he believed, with his academic knowledge, he could even take on three Profound Grade Tasks at once.

Each person could accept up to three tasks at one time and only upon completing a task could they take on another.

Earth Grade Tasks, however, were quite dangerous, as they often involved hunting high-level demon beasts. These were generally completed by teams of Inner Sect Disciples or Outer Sect Disciples, with rewards ranging from several hundred to a thousand contribution points.

As for the even higher Heavenly Level Tasks, their level of danger was something Outer Sect Disciples couldn’t handle and thus couldn’t accept. Only Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples were eligible to take on such tasks, and the rewards were substantial, a minimum of a thousand contribution points.

At this moment, Lin Chen wanted to select a Profound Grade Task; it was within his capability, and the reward was quite good.

He quickly found a task that he was particularly interested in—a hunting mission. The task was to hunt a Fire Python Tiger.

This Fire Python Tiger had been rampaging through a nearby town called Lianhuo City, preying on the local villagers’ livestock, and it had even caused many human casualties.

The lord of Lianhuo City and the local martial artists were absolutely powerless against the Fire Python Tiger; they had no choice but to issue a bounty to the Jade Cauldron Sect, seeking help from the sect.

The strength of the Fire Python Tiger was roughly equivalent to that of a human martial artist between the Fourth Level and Sixth Level of the Spirit Gathering Realm. Lin Chen, having just made a breakthrough into the Spirit Gathering Realm and bolstered by the might of the Primordial Transformation Art, felt somewhat confident in taking on the Fire Python Tiger.

However, just as Lin Chen was about to accept the task, the information in the sky suddenly vanished, and the Jade Slip fell down.

Clearly, someone else had just accepted the task Lin Chen had his eye on.

At that moment, a graceful figure caught Lin Chen’s attention.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, are you here to accept a task as well?"

A pleasant voice rang out, followed swiftly by Mu Qingxuan, who ran over to Lin Chen with a joyful expression on her face.

Accompanying Mu Qingxuan were several other female disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect; Lin Chen recognized them as members of the Liuguang Hall.

Lin Chen nodded, observing Mu Qingxuan. The lass seemed to be doing quite well in the Liuguang Hall, as her complexion and mood were exceptionally good.

"You’re here for a task too, have you found a suitable one?"

Lin Chen politely inquired.

Although Mu Qingxuan’s talent couldn’t compare with his own, she was still considered above average among the many Outer Sect Disciples. In the past six months, her cultivation had broken through twice, and she was now a martial artist at the Third Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

"Mhm, we just accepted a Profound Grade task and are about to set off. That’s when we saw you, Junior Brother Lin Chen."

Mu Qingxuan said with a beaming smile, her eyes sparkling with adoration for Lin Chen—anyone could see her affection for him.

"The task you’ve just accepted, it wouldn’t happen to be the one requiring a trip to Lianhuo City to hunt a Fire Python Tiger, would it?"

Lin Chen asked with a wry smile.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, how did you know? We are indeed off to hunt that Fire Python Tiger."

Mu Qingxuan’s heart tightened, her cheeks blushing slightly as she secretly wondered if Lin Chen had been observing her every move, her heart fluttering nervously.

"Well, I’ve heard that the task is somewhat dangerous. Previous disciples who accepted it ended up injured. You should be careful."

Lin Chen kindly advised, causing Mu Qingxuan’s cheeks to grow even redder upon realizing his concern for her.

Naturally, Lin Chen would not admit that he had also wanted to accept that task just a moment ago; otherwise, others might accuse him of seeking attention, given that he was just at the Second Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm and yet dared to take on such a mission—a likely pretense.

"I... I understand, thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."

Mu Qingxuan replied quietly, her face still flushed as she looked down and thanked him.

"Heh, with us senior sisters here, what danger could there be on this journey? Junior Brother Lin Chen is the top academic achiever in both arts and science. Instead of studying diligently at school, what brings you out here? Could it be that Junior Brother Lin Chen is also thinking of accepting a Profound Grade task?"

Just after Mu Qingxuan had thanked Lin Chen, a bold and curvaceous woman from the Liuguang Hall group, wearing revealing clothes and with bare arms, looked at Lin Chen with dissatisfaction and scoffed derisively.
