Chapter 107
On the luminous screen, a flurry of information scrolled swiftly. Over ten outer disciples, including Lu Xuan, focused on every word appearing.
"Hunting missions for demonic beasts require ventures into the Fallen Nightmare Mountains to hunt Rank 1 and Rank 2 demonic beasts. Mission reward: fifty Sword Seals. Requirement: a minimum number of kills; extra Seals granted for a higher quantity."
"Harvesting spiritual plants entails gathering a Grade 3 Strange Ghost Vine from the Black Abyss. Mission reward: one hundred Sword Seals."
"Investigate malevolent forces in Cyanstar City. Malevolent entities of at least High-Level Qi Cultivator strength have appeared. Locate and eliminate. Mission reward adjusts based on the entity's power, quantity, and handling."
Several repeated missions piqued the interest of the gathered cultivators.
"Any senior sisters or junior sisters willing to join me in hunting demonic beasts in the Fallen Nightmare Mountains? If we click, I'll share some extra Seals from the mission reward with you."
"Black Abyss, one hundred Seals, quite tempting. Too bad I'm a bit lacking in power."
An eighth-level Qi Cultivator fixated on the task of harvesting a Grade 3 Strange Ghost Vine, visibly conflicted.
"Any senior brothers or sisters willing to team up to deal with the malevolent forces in Cyanstar City? I'm a ninth-level Qi Cultivator specializing in fire elemental techniques and possess items to ward off malevolence, confident we can handle it effortlessly."
A haughty young cultivator spoke up.
Lu Xuan glanced at the lucrative tasks but saw more risk than opportunity. He had recently filled gaps in his cultivation knowledge, understanding that both the Fallen Nightmare Mountains and the Black Abyss were chaotic realms in the cultivation world. These places were beyond the control of sects or families, where occupying them incurred more costs than benefits. They were left to their own devices.
Filled with numerous demonic beasts and malevolent entities, these places were dangerous but also held endless spiritual herbs, demonic beast materials, and occasionally, tremendous opportunities for those bold enough.
In short, opportunity and risk coexisted.
Having secured his opportunities, Lu Xuan saw no need to endanger himself further. He opted to stay within the Sky Sword Sect, nurturing spiritual plants safely and steadily.
The tasks beneath the screen offered lower difficulty, with reduced Sword Seal rewards accordingly.
"Postnatal care task: the recently birthed young of the Wildfang Iron Tusk need caretaking. Their aggression due to protecting their offspring makes them quite irritable. Prior experience preferred. Mission reward: thirty-five Sword Seals."nove(l)bi(n.)com
"Postnatal care for a sow?"
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Xuan decided to pass.
"Sister Yao, I understand the task specifics, but I have a slight query."
"Please, Junior Brother, speak."
"After caring for the Monkey-Faced Orchid, can I return to my own abode for cultivation and rest?"
"Naturally. After completing daily nurturing tasks, Junior Brother Lu can reside here or return to his abode for rest."
"It'll take about two to three hours daily for the Monkey-Faced Orchid care; the rest of the time can be spent on cultivation and techniques."
"After all, cultivation is our primary path, and we cannot forsake it for nurturing spiritual plants."
"You're right, Senior Sister."
Lu Xuan nodded subtly. His proposal to return wasn't solely for cultivation but to conserve time and energy for nurturing plants in his own abode.
With two hundred Firefly Grass and twenty-eight Blood Jade Ginseng in his spiritual field, he planned to slightly ease the intensive nurturing, allocating more time to earn Sword Seals.
Yet, within the sect's dense and pure spiritual energy, his slight negligence shouldn't affect the quality of the Firefly Grass and Blood Jade Ginseng.
"This is the field where Grade 2 Monkey-Faced Orchids are cultivated."
Guided by Sister Yao, Lu Xuan arrived at a spacious field.
Numerous peculiar spiritual plants grew here. Inside the varied-colored petals, distinct patterns resembling monkey faces emerged. Each face displayed unique expressions: some playful, some dignified, some furious, some aloof. A myriad of expressions adorned the faces within these Grade 2 spiritual plants.
Walking amidst the rows, Lu Xuan felt as if a multitude of natural emojis were staring at him, making him slightly uneasy.
"These Monkey-Faced Orchids appearance is deceptive; in reality, they are ordinary spiritual plants, requiring regular nurturing."
"If you notice any changes in the expressions on the petal faces, there's no need to be concerned."
"There's another person in the garden, named Yan Ping, with cultivation similar to yours, Junior Brother. I'll introduce you both shortly."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Yao."
