Chapter 54: Mysterious Mission 1

  A sect like Qingyun Zong, although the management of outer and inner disciples is relatively relaxed, with everyone usually practicing on their own or finding their own mentors or fellow disciples to spar with, but when it comes to acquiring contribution points for the sect and assessing one's level of strength, they are extremely strict.

  The contribution points of the sect, represent your contributions to the sect and your ambition; while your own strength, in this world where martial power is respected, represents your identity and future achievements.

  It's just like the outer disciples of Qingyun Sect, although a small number of martial artists are admitted through their outstanding talents, but the vast majority rely on their contributions to the sect and their own efforts to be promoted as outer disciples.

  As for wanting to become an inner disciple of Qingyun Sect, there is only one condition: reaching the Human Yuan realm.

  Apart from this, unless you have saved the sect by reversing the tide or discovered a secret place like Chuan Sheng Dong Tian on your own and informed Qing Yun Sect about it, you will not have the opportunity to become an inner disciple.

  In Fang Tian Nan's view, an ordinary martial artist wanting to receive such treatment would be far more difficult than advancing to the Human Emperor realm.

  So, the vast majority of ordinary disciples, after becoming outer door disciples, the sect contribution points on their identity plates have all been cleared to zero. Just like Fang Tian Nan, at this moment, his accumulated contribution points are not even one. Of course, after Fang Tian Nan showed his identity plate at many contribution point registration places set up by the sect, the contribution points inside had increased to five hundred.

  This is the sect's reward for the six disciples who can enter the Inherited Cave Heaven.

  No matter how much you gain, being able to occupy one of the quotas is a glory for Qingyun Sect, isn't it?

  。。。。。。

  "Xiao Ruo Shixiong, are we going to the Task Hall?" Fang Tian Nan asked as he walked along with the two of them.

  "Yes." Xiao Ruo nodded and said, "For outer sect disciples, taking on tasks to gain contribution points is the most common way. This time, we've caused quite a commotion. So, I was thinking that the three of us should take on a task and go outside the sect to lay low for a while. Firstly, it can ease the emotions of the other outer sect disciples, and secondly, we can also earn some contribution points. Why not?"

  "That's right." Zhai Jianming echoed on the side, "However, in the selection of specific tasks, we need to make a good choice."

  For Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming, who are both old disciples of the outer sect, it's not that they will accept any task. The tasks in the Task Hall are also varied and numerous. Fang Tian Nan had already learned this from Gu Xiao Fan. If it's just a task worth three to five contribution points, sending out Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming would be a bit of a waste of their abilities.

  It was only when Fang Tian Nan and his three companions arrived at the Task Hall that the lively scene inside truly surprised Fang Tian Nan.

  It's more than just "lively" can describe. It's almost like a sea of people, even more crowded than the martial arts arena.

  "Hehe, get used to it." It seemed that Zhai Jianming had noticed Fang Tian Nan's confusion and explained, "This task hall doesn't just belong to outer sect disciples. Many inner sect disciples also come here to take on tasks or receive them. Moreover, most of the news related to the sect can be heard here, except for the Gathering of Talents Pavilion, which is more targeted. For most outer sect disciples, this place is 'heaven'."

  In short, this is the main hall for the young disciples of Qingyun Sect to communicate with each other. Even if you don't accept tasks, you can still come here from time to time and gain something.

  "What's next?" Fang Tian Nan didn't know much about it. With Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming by his side, he didn't need to worry too much.

  "Look at Shao Shixiong." Ji Jianming hinted with his eyes towards Xiao Ruo.

  Only saw Xiao Ruo, who very naturally led Fang Tian Nan and the others through the crowded crowd to a counter. Inside the counter was an old man in his fifties or sixties, who was quietly dozing off with a listless expression, as if the lively atmosphere around him had nothing to do with him at all.

  "Qian Zhanggui, wake up! Every time I come, I see you sleeping. Aren't you afraid of being inspected by your superiors?" Xiao Ruo said, tapping gently on the counter with her hand.

  The cashier inside the counter finally opened his eyes, and then saw Xiao Ruo, smiled slightly and said: "You little boy, just know how to disturb me. This person is old, likes to sleep a lot, no one can help it..."

  "Alright," Xiao Ruo interrupted Qian Zhanggui's words with a bitter smile and said, "You should know that we're in trouble now, right?"

  "What's the trouble?" Qian Zhanggu said, his eyes widening immediately. "I haven't even congratulated you yet, and what about you two?" As he spoke, Qian Zhanggu naturally gave Fan Tiannan and Di Jianming a once-over, clearly guessing through Xiao Ruo's words that these three people were the three outer sect disciples who had entered the Transmission Cave Heaven.

  "Is there a task suitable for the three of us?" Xiao Ruo asked straightforwardly.

  "This, it's hard to say..." Boss Qian heard this and instantly recovered his calm expression, relaxing completely, just sitting there as if he might fall asleep again at any moment.

  "Tell the truth." Xiao Ruo didn't get annoyed, instead, she took out a dan medicine from her own bosom and handed it over. "Also, with your intelligence, you should be able to understand what this thing is, right?"

  "For me?" Boss Qian quickly got up, took it over, and without even looking at it, immediately put it away. Then, with a somewhat serious tone, he said to Xiao Ruo, "You guys are too careless. How can you take this thing out in public?... Alright, I'll consider the past few years I've taken care of you not wasted. Hehe, not bad, not bad."

  The look of him licking his mouth corner can reveal that Qian Zhanggui's mood is extremely delightful.

  Fang Tian Nan also curled his lips in response.

  At the same time that Xiao Ruo took out that one dan medicine, Fang Tian Nan immediately understood that it was the dan medicine that Xiao Ruo had obtained in the Transmission Cave Heaven. Of course, Fang Tian Nan wasn't stupid either. The fact that Qian Zhuo could sit quietly behind a counter in such a bustling task hall meant that his identity and status were definitely not ordinary.

  Among so many outsiders' children, why is Xiao Ruo the only one who dares to come over and find Qian Zhanggui?

  Even if it's just a casual guess, Fang Tiannan can clearly see that Xiao Ruo and Qian Zhanggui have a good relationship. Moreover, among the many outer door disciples, if one's strength is not up to a certain level, even if they come to find Qian Zhanggui, he might not even give them a glance.

  And later, Di Jianming's explanation also confirmed this point.

  Don't look at Qian Zhanggui's appearance, he is gentle and kind, but he is the person in charge of the entire task hall. Whether it is a mission from the sect or a mission released by the Qingyun Sect disciples, it needs to go through his hands. Even within the sect, Qian Zhanggui has a say in the matter.

  Otherwise, why can Qian Zhanggui manage such an important place as Task Hall?

  。。。。。。

  "How much of your elixir is left?" Fang Tian Nan thought of the elixir handed over by Xiao Ruo and casually asked Zhai Jian Ming beside him.

  "There are still three left." Zhai Jianming said with a wry smile, speaking in a low voice.

  "What about Xiao Shixiong?" Fang Tian Nan continued to ask.

  "It's probably not much better anyway." Ji Jianming replied, sighing, "However, it's still better than nothing. Besides, this is something that can only be taken after reaching the Human Yuan boundary, although it's precious, compared to the current strength increase, it's too far-fetched for us..."

  Fang Tian Nan thought for a moment and could only acquiesce silently, no longer speaking.

  Not everyone can take these elixirs like Fang Tian Nan in the Huajing realm. Without sufficient strong meridians, corresponding innate talents and qualifications, if one's strength realm is not enough, even if they take the elixir, many aftereffects will appear, and their internal meridians may be burst on the spot. For cultivators, it is absolutely not worth the cost.

  Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming sent out some of the dan medicine, seeking to obtain currently usable and more urgently needed resources, or even making connections with important figures.

  It's just like having money in front of you, if Fang Tian Nan gives out his own elixir, others may not even accept it.

  This is also considered Xiao Ruo's invisible influence in the sect.
