18: Spiritual herbs..

..the next morning, xiao Chen woke up with a stretch, after freshening up for nearly an hour he put on his new disciple clothing, the smile on his face would attract anyone's gaze..

Even though it was his first day in the sect, xiao Chen wanted to become a core disciple as fast as possible, the best way was to take missions and gain contribution points, not only could he get stronger beasts to devour, he could also exchange his contribution points for many other resources or spiritual herbs..

Xiao Chen walked out of his courtyard, he couldn't wait to start flying, after all who would walk down the mountain peak when they could just fly over it to another one..

Noticing those core disciples flying around on sword, xiao Chen was slightly jealous, not because of the swords but their cultivation..

He shook his head with a smile, after all many people would be ready to beat him up if they knew that he was thinking his cultivation speed was too slow..

Xiao Chen walked along the tile path leading down the inner disciple mountain, along the way he saw many other inner-disciples, but they paid no mind to him, he also didn't take it to heart..

It wasn't long before xiao Chen reached the foot of the mountain, there were many buildings which could be seen on the path towards different mountain peaks..

There was a large square area below the inner disciple mountain, there were also many exquisite and luxurious buildings here..

A large board could be seen in the middle of this area, surrounded by many disciples..

Xiao Chen walked up towards the mission board, once one took a mission they would have to complete it or turn it down..

The harder or easier the mission was determined the amount of contribution points a student would get, the missions were usually escorting missions, herb gathering, killing beasts, helping with alchemy, or many other things..

Basically anything the elders found worth of being a mission was put up here..

Xiao Chen wanted to work his way up, grabbing the easiest mission he looked at it..

[Task: help the alchemist elders find a golden sun flower..

Location: herb mountain

Reward: 25 contribution points

Recommended strength: body-refining realm]

xiao Chen looked at the mission before walking up towards an old man sitting behind a wooden table with nothing on it, the old man wore a luxurious version of the sects robes, he also had his eyes closed as if in deep meditation..

"Elder, I choose this mission" xiao Chen held the mission paper up and slightly waved it, the old man didn't open his eyes, he nodded to show his confirmation.

...

Less than a week went by instantly in the sect, xiao Chen had not only completed many missions a day, he had gained many contribution points, he would spent them soon and prepare to breakthrough..

Xiao Chen sighed as he looked at the sects gate, he had just finished another mission, this one was about slaying a pack of violent thunder wolves, each of them was destroyed, after removing their heads xiao Chen devoured them, the heads were proof of completing the mission ..

It wouldn't be long before he would breakthrough, he had accumulated nearly 1,245 contribution points in his disciple token.

This was more than enough to purchase a strong herb to help him breakthrough, though he could absorb many beasts, heavenly Qi realm beasts like the jade-scaled roc were rare, if he could devour even one then he might breakthrough instantly.

[System mission..

Task: become a heavenly Qi realm expert

Reward: grade 2 sword, [Eternal Sword art]

Time limit: one month] xiao Chen had gotten this system mission, which made him speed up his rate of doing the sects missions..

After turning in the mission, xiao Chen now had 1,300 contribution points to spend..

Standing in front of the points exchange pavilion, xiao Chen walked into the luxurious building as he stared at the many items on display in a class box..

Walking up towards the receptionist, xiao Chen pulled out his disciple token and said "ma'am, I am here to exchange my points for herbs" the young lady who heard this was taken aback when she heard him call her "ma'am", was she that old?

She held back her slight anger and pointed towards a large table filled with many items...

"Sir, most of our cultivation resources can be found here"

Xiao Chen confidently walked up towards the table filled with herbs and were described by a sheet of paper next to them, the paper showed the name of all the herbs here...

Xiao Chen purchased five herbs in total, each was very rare and expensive to most people.

After all no one would do missions as crazily as he would..

Xiao Chen excitedly walked out of the pavilion, holding his five herbs in hand, he directly walked to his courtyard, not stopping at all..

Once he broke through he would be a little happier and try to bullshit his way and devour some young masters..

Xiao Chen sat in the lotus position atop his bed, the five herbs laying on his lap.

These five herbs were the dragon jade flower, lunar ice fruit, purple spiritual bamboo, nine-hell's demonic grass, and the golden peach fruit...

The herbs had domineering names, xiao Chen held back his drool as he looked at the spiritual fruits on his lap.
