Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mission

Page 1/3

Chen Xuan clicked on the "Facilities" tab.

A sect-exclusive store opened up.

He directly selected the cheapest option.

[Primary Scripture Pavilion]

Description: The Scripture Pavilion automatically generates cultivation techniques (up to Saint-grade). Sect disciples can purchase them using Contribution Points.

Price: 3,000 Filial Points

(Unlock conditions: None)

Note: Upgrading increases the chance of refreshing higher-grade treasures.

[Primary Treasure Pavilion]

Description: The Treasure Pavilion automatically generates weapons and spiritual treasures (up to Saint-grade). Sect disciples can purchase them with Contribution Points.

Price: 3,000 Filial Points

(Unlock conditions: None)

Note: Upgrading increases the chance of higher-grade treasures appearing.

[Primary Task Hall]

Description: The Task Hall issues missions to sect disciples based on the sect’s status and the host’s current situation. Completing these tasks grants Filial Points to the host.

Price: 3,000 Filial Points

(Unlock conditions: None)

Note: The higher the Task Hall level, the greater the chance of advanced tasks appearing.

Chen Xuan’s eyes lit up.

All three facilities were quite impressive.

The Treasure Pavilion and Scripture Pavilion could attract disciples to complete tasks and earn Contribution Points, which in turn would provide him with Filial Points.

This meant he no longer needed to actively order disciples around.

Nor did he have to worry about what to give them.

They could choose treasures or cultivation techniques themselves from the Treasure or Scripture Pavilion, which would better facilitate their growth in Filial Points.

Most importantly, ordinary disciples could increase his Filial Points by completing tasks.

“Purchase!”

[Filial Points -3000]

A flash of light passed by.

Several Saint-grade cultivation techniques suddenly appeared in Xuandan Sect’s existing Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Pavilion.

The Task Hall also displayed a brand-new roster.

“Let’s see what tasks the Task Hall has.”

Chen Xuan’s curiosity grew as he headed to the Task Hall. According to the system, the hall would issue special tasks based on his current circumstances.

He wondered what they would be.

“Grandma, we already have Saint-grade cultivation techniques. Why go to the Scripture Pavilion?”

Outside the Scripture Pavilion stood a radiant young girl and a woman in a flowing purple dress.

“The sect leader just produced a Saint-grade superior cultivation technique. Perhaps there are other Saint-grade or even Immortal-grade techniques here. If I could glimpse an Immortal-grade technique, my life would be fulfilled,” Li Rou said with a smile.

“Mm.”

Hong Luan nodded.

The two entered the Scripture Pavilion and were immediately awestruck by its lavishness.

The Scripture Pavilion had nine floors in total.

The lowest floor contained Earth-grade techniques, numbering at least a thousand.

The second floor housed Heaven-grade techniques, also numbering in the hundreds.

“Across the entire Great Xia Empire, you couldn’t find a single sect with over a thousand Heaven-grade cultivation techniques,” Li Rou marveled.

For an ordinary top-tier sect, having even one Heaven-grade cultivation technique was considered excellent.

The third floor contained Saint-grade techniques.

Hong Luan and Li Rou stopped there.

From the fourth floor upwards, a mystical barrier sealed the way, making entry impossible.

“The first floor is Earth-grade, second floor Heaven-grade, third floor Saint-grade—does that mean the fourth floor is Immortal-grade?” Li Rou exclaimed in shock. “And there are fifth and sixth floors above that... What level of cultivation techniques could those be? Could they surpass the Immortal-grade?!”

Li Rou could barely imagine.

They browsed the third floor for some time.

Finally, Li Rou paused before a cultivation technique.

“This is... the legendary Saint-grade superior technique, ‘Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Art’!”

“Grandma, isn’t this the technique you’ve been longing for?” Hong Luan said excitedly.

“Yes, I thought it was just a legend, something I’d never get in my lifetime. Yet here it is. Wonderful!”

Li Rou reached out to touch it.

But her hand stopped abruptly, blocked by a barrier of spiritual energy.

At the same time, words formed in spiritual energy before her eyes:

[Value: 10,000 Contribution Points]

“Requires Contribution Points to redeem?” Li Rou realized. Sect treasures and cultivation techniques all required Contribution Points to obtain—standard practice across all sects.

“Your Majesty, let’s go check out the Task Hall,” Hong Luan said excitedly.

This ‘Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Art’ was something she was determined to acquire.

The two hurried to the Task Hall.

After claiming their Contribution Points storage talisman, they immediately searched the task roster.

Task: Annihilate the Three Great Sects

Reward: 100,000 Contribution Points

Task: Assassinate Shi Hui

Reward: 3,000 Contribution Points

Task: Assassinate Dongfang Qiu

Reward: 3,000 Contribution Points

Task: ...

They looked over the tasks; the high-Contribution Point tasks mostly concerned the Three Great Sects.

Because the Three Great Sects were Xuandan Sect’s greatest enemies at present.

But the difficulty was immense.

Shi Hui and Dongfang Qiu were both at the peak Nascent Soul stage. Even Li Rou, at the early Transformation God stage, would find it challenging to kill them on the spot.

Moreover, they had the backing of the Three Great Sects and the Supreme Elder.

Lower-value tasks involved cleaning the sect or clearing nearby beasts, granting only a few points.

Even working on these for a year wouldn’t buy a Saint-grade cultivation technique.

Li Rou was very disappointed.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on another roster.

This list was golden-colored.

But she could not see what tasks it contained.

“Your Majesty, can you see what tasks are on this list?” Li Rou asked Hong Luan.

Hong Luan glanced and immediately blushed deeply.

She found it very embarrassing to speak of.

It was also strange why Hong Luan could see these tasks but Li Rou could not.

“Your Majesty, why are you blushing? What tasks are on it?” Li Rou pressed anxiously.

“It says,” Hong Luan shyly recited the task details to Li Rou.

Task: Warm the Sect Leader’s Bed

Reward: 500 Contribution Points

Task: Massage the Sect Leader

Reward: 200 Contribution Points

Task: Find the Sect Leader an Exceptional Daoist Partner

Reward: 1,000,000 Contribution Points

...

All the tasks on this list were directed solely at Chen Xuan.

Warming the bed, massages, serving tea and water, even finding him a Daoist partner.

Li Rou was stunned. Why were these tasks appearing on the roster? Had Chen Xuan issued them himself?

She was extremely disappointed.

She could perform these tasks herself but was unable to claim any from this list.

Li Rou looked again at Hong Luan.

Since Hong Luan could see the list, surely she could claim these tasks.

“Your Majesty, can you accept these tasks?” Li Rou asked.

“I can, but…” Hong Luan’s cheeks flushed scarlet.

Of course she could accept them, but the nature of the tasks was utterly humiliating—warming the bed...

“Your Majesty, the ‘Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Art’ is very important to me. I’ve never asked you or the late emperor for anything before; I only ask this once,” Li Rou pleaded.

“Well…”

Li Rou had once been her mother’s master and later joined the Great Xia royal family as her mother’s bodyguard, watching her grow up.

Though officially her guard, Hong Luan always addressed Li Rou as “Grandma,” treating her as an elder.

Without Li Rou’s support, a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like herself could never have remained on the throne for so long.

Now Li Rou was asking her for help for the first time.

She did not know how to refuse.

“All right, all right then.”
