Chapter 51: Mission Hall

Chu Jianqiu returned to his room and began to consider his future cultivation path.

Given his current situation, to maintain a normal cultivation speed, he would inevitably need to expend a huge amount of resources.

Cui Yayun had given him a thousand Qi Gathering Pills. If it were a regular True Qi Realm martial artist, such a large number of Qi Gathering Pills would likely be enough to support cultivation up to the Fourth Level of the True Qi Realm.

However, he had used seven hundred of them to unblock his final meridian and cultivate the Supreme Martial Body. The remaining three hundred Qi Gathering Pills were far from enough to help him break through to the Second Level of the True Qi Realm.

Chu Jianqiu did not rush to use those Qi Gathering Pills to continue his cultivation. As long as he had sufficient resources, he was not worried about the speed of his cultivation.

For other martial artists, even with sufficient resources, they would still have to worry about whether they could fully absorb them. But for Chu Jianqiu, who possessed the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique and the Supreme Chaos Bloodline, this was not a problem.

The most critical issue now was how to obtain more cultivation resources.

The simplest way would be to ask his master, Cui Yayun, but Chu Jianqiu did not want to do that.

Given the massive amount of resources he had already consumed, asking Cui Yayun would likely raise her suspicions.

Moreover, one should not receive rewards without contributing. Chu Jianqiu had not made any significant contributions to his master and did not feel right about constantly asking for resources.

Only resources obtained through his own efforts would be used with a clear conscience.

Within the Xuanjian Sect, to obtain resources, one needed to exchange contribution points.

In the past half year, Chu Jianqiu had seen new disciples working hard to earn contribution points.

The next day, Chu Jianqiu went to the Xuanjian Sect's Mission Hall.

The Mission Hall was enormous, capable of accommodating thousands of people.

At this moment, there were about a hundred people inside, including both outer sect and inner sect disciples.

The walls of the vast hall were lined with large screens, each displaying various mission names.

These screens were clearly high-grade magical treasures. Chu Jianqiu saw some attendant disciples inputting mission names into a mirror-like magical treasure in the center of the hall, and the corresponding missions would appear on the screens on the walls.

Chu Jianqiu was quite amazed by the magical properties of these treasures.

The missions on the wall screens were divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.

D-level missions were the simplest and offered the least contribution points, usually in the single digits. These missions mainly involved tasks like gathering herbs, mining, planting, and assisting elders in refining pills and artifacts.

C-level missions offered more contribution points, generally over ten, but they were also more dangerous, usually involving hunting demonic beasts.

As for B-level missions, each one offered at least a hundred contribution points, with some even reaching over a thousand.

Of course, B-level missions were extremely dangerous and were generally only taken by inner sect disciples.

A-level missions, while offering highly tempting contribution points, were almost suicidal for anyone below the Sea Transformation Realm.

Chu Jianqiu scanned the missions on the wall screens, quickly passing over the D-level missions. These missions were too unchallenging, and the contribution points they offered were too few.

After a while, his gaze settled on a C-level mission.

This mission involved slaying a blood python that was wreaking havoc in a human city.

A thousand miles away from the Xuanjian Sect, in Zunlian City, a blood python had appeared on Wohu Mountain outside the city.

This blood python was extremely ferocious, often eating people. It had turned the previously bustling Wohu Mountain into a dangerous area that no one dared to approach. Moreover, the blood python frequently descended the mountain to hunt and kill people around Zunlian City.

This caused great panic in Zunlian City, and no one had dared to leave the city for several days.

The city lord of Zunlian City, Di Heguang, had sent out armored soldiers multiple times to eliminate the demon, but the blood python was too powerful, and many soldiers were devoured.

Zunlian City was a small city, not the capital of a county, and the strength of the city lord's residence was far inferior to that of the county cities.

Helpless, Di Heguang had no choice but to send a message to the Xuanjian Sect, requesting that the sect dispatch disciples to Wohu Mountain to eliminate the demon and restore peace to the people of Zunlian City.

Seeing this mission, Chu Jianqiu was immediately interested. According to the mission description, the blood python's strength was roughly equivalent to that of a Fifth Level True Qi Realm martial artist.

With his current strength, he had a good chance against a Fifth Level True Qi Realm martial artist. Moreover, this mission offered a generous reward of ninety contribution points, making it worth taking.

Just as Chu Jianqiu was about to accept the mission, it suddenly disappeared from the screen, indicating that another disciple had already taken it.

"Senior Brother Chu, you're here too!" a gentle voice exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Jianqiu turned to see Fu Lingxue and several other women from the Zixia Society.

"Junior Sister Fu, are you here to accept a mission?" Chu Jianqiu asked, nodding.

"Senior Sister Wan is taking us out for some training. We just accepted a C-level mission."

Fu Lingxue was delighted to see Chu Jianqiu. In the past half year, he had only attended classes in the outer sect and did not participate in other activities.

Fu Lingxue had followed Chu Jianqiu for a while, but later realized that she did not have the same level of dedication to study all the courses as he did.

Just meeting the six credit requirements of the outer sect was quite challenging for her, let alone studying so many courses. She also felt that studying so many courses was not very useful and would delay her cultivation. In the world of martial artists, strength was the most important.

In the past half year, through diligent cultivation, she had already broken through to the Second Level of the True Qi Realm and was now at the bottleneck of the Second Level, about to break through to the Third Level.

Chu Jianqiu was slightly taken aback. Could it be that coincidental?

"Is the C-level mission you accepted to slay the blood python causing chaos in Zunlian City?"

Fu Lingxue was also surprised. "How did Senior Brother Chu know?"

"Guess." Chu Jianqiu had to give a casual reason; he couldn't say that he had also planned to accept the mission.

The blood python was equivalent to a Fifth Level True Qi Realm martial artist. Although Chu Jianqiu had a rough estimate of his own strength, he did not want to boast.

Even if he did, he would be called arrogant and overconfident. Chu Jianqiu did not want to invite such trouble.

"Hmph, a guess, what a lame excuse." A rather sharp-tongued woman beside Fu Lingxue sneered. She sized up Chu Jianqiu and mocked, "The great scholar Chu wouldn't be thinking of accepting this mission too, would he?"
