25: Chapter 25 Legendary Figures
"By the way, Senior Brother, have you done your missions for this month?"
Yu Yaoqin asked.
As Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain, they each had a certain mission quota every month, and depending on a Disciple's cultivation Realm, the mission quota would also differ.
For instance, with the Spirit Platform Realm cultivation that Lin Ming currently displayed, a cultivator in the Spirit Platform Realm had a monthly mission quota of four missions.
If there were any special circumstances, such as a Breakthrough in cultivation or recovering from injuries, missions could be accumulated for the next month or completed later.
Under normal circumstances, if a Disciple failed to complete their mission quota, they would receive a certain punishment, and missions would be forcibly assigned based on the Disciple's cultivation.
As for new Disciples like Su Lianxue, while their cultivation was in the Body Tempering Realm, there was no so-called mandatory mission quota; only after reaching the Spirit Guidance Realm would there be a mandatory mission quota.
"There's still one left."
Lin Ming thought for a moment and said.
No wonder he always felt like something was missing; it turned out one mission of his quota remained unfinished.
At the beginning of the month, Lin Ming had already completed three missions; after finishing one more, he could continue to lie flat.
Instead, he was kicked out by his Revered Master to choose a Junior Sister.
This selection process made Lin Ming temporarily forget about the missions.
It wasn't until now, when Yu Yaoqin reminded him, that he remembered he still had one mission left to complete.
He had to go and finish this mission.
It was already the end of the month, so he couldn't keep putting it off.
"Senior Brother, you're way too lazy. You actually still have a mission unfinished."
Yu Yaoqin had a look that said 'I knew it' as she complained.
Lin Ming's laziness was already common knowledge.
He hadn't even completed his monthly mission quota.
One must know that for the Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain, these missions were also a major source of income, especially for those Disciples without a craft; they basically relied on Sect missions to obtain resources.
But she couldn't quite understand Senior Brother Lin; he didn't like doing missions and probably didn't have any craft, so where did his cultivation resources come from?
She had also wondered if Uncle Master Yunhua was constantly providing him with resources, but she quickly dismissed that thought.
Because Uncle Master Yunhua was not that kind of person.
Or perhaps her Senior Brother had secrets she didn't know about.
All sorts of ideas began to pop into Yu Yaoqin's head.
"It's about time I did a mission."
Lin Ming stood up from his reclining chair.
He stretched his arms.
Since he had time now, he might as well do that last mission to avoid forgetting it again later.
Lin Ming started walking down the mountain.
"Junior Sister Lianxue, come on, let's go watch Senior Brother do his mission."
Yu Yaoqin then pulled Su Lianxue along and said.
"What's there to see in me doing a mission?"
Lin Ming looked at Yu Yaoqin with a strange expression and said.
Why did this girl always like to stick her nose into everything? He was going to do a mission, not to play.
"What does it matter? Anyway, Senior Brother, you won't be doing any dangerous missions."
Yu Yaoqin said.
Based on her understanding of her Senior Brother, he definitely wouldn't do any dangerous missions.
"Besides, Junior Sister Lianxue will have to do missions sooner or later. What's wrong with taking her to get familiar with it?"
Su Lianxue hadn't originally planned to go to the Mission Hall, but Yu Yaoqin's words swayed her.
She hadn't been to the Mission Hall yet, but since she would have to go eventually, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get familiar with it now.
"Senior Brother."
Su Lianxue looked at Lin Ming and said.
"Then let's go."
Lin Ming sighed and said.
He knew it; as soon as this girl appeared, she would disrupt his peaceful life.
"Let's go, Junior Sister Lianxue. I'll take you to learn about the Mission Hall."
Yu Yaoqin said to Su Lianxue with a smile.
The Mission Hall did not belong to any of the seven peaks; its location was between Yuanxu Peak, which belonged to the Sect Master's lineage, and Flying Cloud Peak.
The three of them soon arrived at the Mission Hall's location, and a grand hall appeared in their sight.
They could see many Disciples entering and leaving the Mission Hall.
"Isn't this Senior Brother Lin?"
A somewhat flamboyant voice sounded behind Lin Ming.
A young man with yellow hair appeared in their sight.
"Luo Lingfeng, why did you dye your hair yellow this time?"
Lin Ming glanced at Luo Lingfeng and said with a hint of disdain.
He remembered that the last time he saw this guy, he had blue hair. How did it turn yellow after a while?
"What do you mean 'yellow hair'? This is golden hair, the result of my careful preparation."
Luo Lingfeng said with an air of righteousness.
However, set against his yellow hair, this righteousness didn't seem righteous at all.
"This must be Junior Sister Su Lianxue."
Luo Lingfeng now turned his attention to Su Lianxue.
As the rumors said, she was indeed a beauty.
"Junior Sister Su, stay away from this guy."
Lin Ming warned Su Lianxue.
"Senior Brother, you're making me so sad."
Luo Lingfeng's face fell as he looked at Lin Ming.
Only to find that Lin Ming ignored him and walked straight toward the Mission Hall, with the two girls following in his footsteps.
Inside the Mission Hall.
Missions were divided into different mission Ranks based on the cultivator's strength and Realm.
Of course, there were also some special missions that had no so-called Rank classification.
Lin Ming looked at the missions hanging on the wall; at a glance, there were basically no simple missions.
If there were any, they had probably been snatched up long ago, leaving nothing for Lin Ming.
"Mu Minjun of Lingxiao Peak is seeking a Dao Companion. Requirements: age not exceeding thirty, handsome appearance, cultivation level unlimited."
"This Senior Sister Mu is looking for a Dao Companion again."
Lin Ming's expression became strange.
"This mission has been hanging up there for half a month."
Luo Lingfeng walked over at this time and said.
"How did Senior Sister Mu's current Dao Companion die this time?"
Yu Yaoqin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
This Mu Minjun was considered a legendary figure in their Yuanxu Mountain, and her cultivation had reached the Spirit Treasury Realm.
The main characteristic of this legendary figure was that she was a Husband-jinx.
She had a total of eighteen Dao Companions, and every single one of them had died an unnatural death.
Their causes of death were not limited to Qi Deviation during cultivation, being killed while out on missions, being killed by Yao Beasts, or being silenced after stumbling upon someone else's clandestine tryst.
At first, everyone thought Mu Minjun practiced some sort of technique to supplement her Yin by consuming Yang, or that she had some special hobby of intentionally killing her Dao Companions.
It even led to the Sect personally investigating, only to find that the deaths of her Dao Companions had nothing to do with Mu Minjun herself; it was purely due to the victims' bad luck.
Therefore, Mu Minjun was also considered to be a Husband-jinx.
