10: A sect mission—a bad feeling.
“Elder, it's an Outer Sect Disciple named Su Yun.”
After several Deacons questioned the guards outside the tower, they hurriedly reported to Elder He.
“Su Yun? The name sounds a little familiar.”
“Oh, is he the Outer Sect Disciple who received an Assessment Recommendation Quota for the Taixuan Holy Land?”
Elder He, whose expression had been poor, calmed down after hearing that name.
“A Genius! Hasn't he just joined the Outer Sect recently?”
Elder He was somewhat shocked.
After all, he had worked in the Trial Tower for so many years, and this was the first time someone had dismantled all the Puppets on the first floor.
This was terrifying! No wonder he was selected for the recommendation quota.
“Forget it. Let's just consider it the cost of nurturing a Genius.”
Elder He could only shake his head helplessly and continue repairing the Puppets. After leaving the Trial Tower, Su Yun returned to his residence.
He realized he lacked means of long-range attack.
Therefore, he planned to ask the System to purchase some long-range attack Spells.
Otherwise, he couldn't always rely on close-quarters combat in every fight.
When facing multiple opponents, using long-range attacks was more suitable.
“System, please recommend some long-range attack Spells suitable for me!”
[Ding! Based on the characteristics of your current Physique, it is recommended that the Host purchase the Fivefold Fire Control Art.
This Spell is a Top-Grade Spell, most suitable for those with Spiritual Fire within their bodies.
Learning this Spell allows you to control flames for long-range attacks, and when combined with the Glazed Sacred Fire within the Host's body, the damage will be extremely exaggerated.]
“Then I'll take this one.”
Hearing the System's introduction, Su Yun also felt that this Spell was quite good.
[Ding! 10,000 Luck Points spent to purchase the Cultivation Technique. Remaining Luck Points: 63,500.]
The method for Cultivating the Fivefold Fire Control Art immediately appeared in Su Yun's mind.
This Spell was even more Heaven-Defying than he had imagined.
According to his calculations, the damage of the Glazed Sacred Fire would increase by at least ten times after using this Spell.
“System, spend Luck Points and let me learn this Spell directly.”
[Ding! 3,500 Luck Points spent to learn the Spell. Remaining Luck Points: 60,000.]
As soon as the System's notification tone dropped, Su Yun felt that he could skillfully utilize the Spell.
Because he was currently only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could not fully unleash the power of this Spell.
However, even partial power was enough for him to use for a long time.
After resolving the issue of long-range Spells, Su Yun found himself free for the moment.
Since Zhang Tian's Opportunities had been plundered so many times, they hadn't refreshed yet.
The other Outer Sect Disciples of the Sect did not have many major Opportunities.
He, who possessed a System, truly looked down on those minor Opportunities.
After all, he had previously asked the System, and plundering a minor Opportunity belonging to a mere passerby would yield a maximum of fifty Luck Points.
Rather than spending a lot of time plundering minor Opportunities, it was better to plunder the major Opportunities of other supporting characters and protagonists.
There were still several days left until the Outer Sect Grand Competition.
“I should go and complete this month's Sect Mission!”
Su Yun suddenly remembered that as an Outer Sect Disciple, he had to complete three Sect Missions every month.
Sect Missions were collected at the Sect Mission Center.
Upon completing a Sect Mission, different amounts of Contribution Points would be awarded depending on the difficulty.
With enough points, one could spend them at places like the Scripture Pavilion... At the Sect Mission Center,
Su Yun looked at the missions on the Notice Board, momentarily finding it difficult to choose.
Just as he saw a mission at the bottom of the Notice Board, the familiar city name “Cangfeng City” appeared before his eyes.
“What is this? Investigating a Spirit Beast Riot?”
Su Yun was slightly shocked when he saw the details of the mission content.
Because, as far as he knew, there were no Spirit Beasts near Cangfeng City, let alone a Spirit Beast Riot.
If one were to ask why he knew there were no Spirit Beasts near Cangfeng City.
It was because Su Yun grew up in Su Family Village, a Mortal village outside Cangfeng City.
After his parents died of illness four years ago, the lonely him traveled alone for several months searching for an Immortal Cultivation Sect, hoping to embark on the vast Immortal Path.
He remembered that throughout his dozen years growing up, there had never been any trace of Spirit Beasts near Cangfeng City.
At most, there were only some relatively strong Wild Beasts.
This was because he had secretly observed when the villagers went hunting.
“The people of Su Family Village won't be in trouble, will they?”
Thinking of this, Su Yun had a bad premonition.
The people in Su Family Village were all Mortals. If there really was a Spirit Beast Riot, then the outcome would likely be disastrous.
When he looked at the mission requirements, he found that the mission required a Cultivator in the Golden Core Stage to lead the team, with a total of five members.
Seeing this, Su Yun no longer hesitated about which mission to choose.
He would choose this mission and go see the situation in the village, hoping his premonition was wrong.
Arriving at the Registration Office, Su Yun began inquiring about the registration status of the mission.
He found that one Golden Core Stage Cultivator had already signed up. Counting him, there were exactly five people, and they could depart in one shichen.
After registering, Su Yun received the Mission Token for this task.
This Mission Token could locate teammates and allow for communication.
Most importantly, if they encountered danger, they could notify the Sect's Elders to come and rescue them. One shichen later, Su Yun arrived at the Assembly Point and found that everyone had arrived.
Just as Su Yun was carefully observing his teammates, he suddenly realized that the Golden Core Stage Cultivator leading the team looked familiar.
“An Yuyao? The Golden Core leading the team is actually her?”
Seeing that the leader was An Yuyao, who possessed a female protagonist-level life script, Su Yun immediately felt that this mission would likely not be simple.
Generally speaking, missions involving a female protagonist were absolutely extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, he raised his vigilance significantly.
An Yuyao was the only Female Cultivator in the team; the rest were Male Cultivators.
These people probably joined this mission because they heard she was leading the team.
“Junior Brothers, I am An Yuyao of the Inner Sect. You can call me Senior Sister An. I will be leading this mission.”
“Everyone is here. Let's depart now!”
An Yuyao's clear and melodious voice rang out in everyone's ears.
Immediately, she took a spirit boat out of her Storage Ring, muttered an incantation, and the spirit boat suddenly grew larger in the air.
Judging by its appearance, the enlarged spirit boat could accommodate at least twenty people.
“Everyone, please come aboard. Traveling by spirit boat saves time.”
Seeing that An Yuyao possessed such a luxurious spirit boat, several Male Cultivators started drooling.
After all, a spirit boat was not a cheap item.
Only Disciples from Great Families had the financial means to purchase a spirit boat for travel.
“Senior Sister An is truly beautiful and kind-hearted, knowing we haven't ridden a spirit boat and specifically inviting us to ride.”
“Hehe, Senior Sister An isn't secretly in love with me, is she? She specifically invited me onto the spirit boat.”
“Stop dreaming, wipe your drool. Senior Sister An didn't just invite you; she invited four people in total.”
Su Yun was somewhat speechless hearing the conversations of the surrounding Male Cultivators.
Was it really necessary? It was just riding a spirit boat, yet they were acting as if they had obtained a huge Opportunity.
After boarding the spirit boat, Su Yun noticed that the spirit boats in this Cultivation World were somewhat similar to the small boats he had ridden in his previous life.
It had rows of seats, and the Pilot Cabin contained a Navigation Map. As long as the destination was set, it could fly automatically, requiring no Cultivator to control the direction in the Pilot Cabin.
An Yuyao sat by the window of the Pilot Cabin, gazing at the scenery outside, and quietly sighed.
