"Junior Brother Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Fan turned his head to look and discovered a young man walking quickly towards him. This young man was the first person he had known and known in the Spiritual Medicine Sect, Murin.

"Brother Mu, I'm here to see what kind of mission I can take."

Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew this was the place where outer sect missions were issued, he didn't have any experience in accepting missions, nor did he know much about sect missions. Since Murin was an old disciple of the outer sect, he could ask him about it.

Murin was slightly surprised. "Junior apprentice brother Xu, there are only 10 days until the sect's three month examination. Why aren't you cultivating in your own room?"

He discovered that although Xu Fan looked a bit different than two months ago, his cultivation was still at the peak of Qi Disciple level 3, and he hadn't broken through yet. He couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother Xu, in my view, you should stay behind and continue to cultivate. Once the exam is over, I'm afraid that you won't have that much time to meditate and cultivate in the future."

Murin's words weren't false; he truly was thinking for Xu Fan's sake.

In the Spiritual Medicine Sect, after three months of examination, the treatment of the new disciples immediately changed. Disciples with superior aptitude would usually be looked upon and recommended by the Foundation Establishment core disciples within the sect. They would then have the possibility of directly becoming inner disciples or even core disciples. At that time, whether it was the monthly cultivation resources or guidance received, it would be vastly different.

Although they were still outer disciples, their treatment was different. Not only did they get more resources to cultivate and the chance to learn a certain spell or technique, they also completed a relatively small number of tasks.

As for the disciples with the worst aptitudes, they were directly placed in the outer sect and allowed to cultivate on their own. Not only could they only receive a small amount of cultivation resources such as pills and spirit stones every month, they also had to complete a large number of sect missions in order to obtain them.

These disciples were not highly regarded by the sect. They were the lowest level cultivators in the sect, and also the largest number of cultivators.

In the past two months, Murin had thoroughly investigated Xu Fan's situation. He knew that Xu Fan's aptitude was Five Spiritual Roots, but he had also investigated the grudges between Xu Fan and Zhang Sikai and Gu Yiming, as well as the fact that the Sect's Foundation Establishment stage Martial Uncle, Qin Tian, seemed to have some special feelings for Xu Fan. In his heart, Murin believed that Xu Fan was someone like him, someone whose aptitude might not even be comparable to Murin. However, Murin believed that Xu Fan might be trash, but he had the backing of a Sect's Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to take care of him.

Xu Fan lightly smiled and said, "Brother Mu doesn't know this, but I've recently reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. Rather than staying in the sect to cultivate, I might as well do some missions to gain experience."

Murin was stunned. He thought to himself. Two months ago, you were already at the peak of Stage 3 Qi Disciple. But now, you're still the same as ever. Oh right, it seems like Zhang Sikai and that guy still said that this Junior Brother Xu has already been stuck at the peak of Qi Disciple level 3 for more than ten years. Of course, Murin was only saying these words in his heart. He also didn't know that the bottleneck Xu Fan was talking about was the bottleneck from the cultivation of the third wood type cultivation technique to the peak of the third level.

Junior brother Xu, I mean that with your talent, I'm afraid that you won't be able to attract the attention of the Foundation Establishment Stage core disciples of the sect, but if you take advantage of the fact that there are still more than ten days left to the exam, hurry up and take part in some peak activities. Perhaps you might have a chance to enter our Spiritual Medicine Sect to some of the peak benefits, such as the Medicine Hall or the Artifact Forging Hall.

Murin glanced at Xu Fan, then came over and said in a low voice.

Xu Fan smiled. He knew this Murin was doing him good, but he didn't lack Qi Cultivation stage pills. Moreover, he had his own plans, so he smiled and said, "It won't be easy to enter the Alchemy Hall, right?" Furthermore, as a new disciple, I don't know much about the sect, so it's best for you to just be my outer disciple. "

Murin was surprised. "Didn't the Hall of Pills' Wang Yajie treat you very courteously?" "I think if Junior Xu asks for Wang Yajie's help, there shouldn't be a problem."

Murin originally wanted to say that the Foundation Establishment Stage Martial Uncle Qin was not bad to you. However, he only mentioned Wang Ya Jie of the Hall of Pills. After all, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were the targets that outer sect disciples like them looked up to. If they said something wrong and offended the Foundation Establishment stage uncle-master, they would be done for.

Xu Fan shook his head. "No need to persuade me, Brother Mu. I know my own aptitude. Even if I can enter the Alchemy Hall, I won't be an outer disciple. I might as well stay at Qingyu Peak."

Murin was slightly surprised, but he secretly rejoiced that Xu Fan wanted to stay in the outer sect. At least he now had the opportunity to get closer to Xu Fan, who was still an unfathomable junior brother. He immediately stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Since Junior Brother Xu already had plans, then I'll say more.

Xu Fan quickly said, "Please explain the rules of the sect's mission, Brother Mu."

Murin nodded his head and said, "The sect's missions are divided into two categories, one is missions issued by the various heads of peaks, and they are specifically made for the disciples to choose from. The sect's missions are relatively low in difficulty, for example, the missions issued by our Qingyu Peak are for the outer disciples, and the outer disciples have to complete missions worth no less than 500 contribution points per month.

The other type were the missions issued by the sect. Any disciple in the sect could take on this type of mission, but the missions issued by the sect were rather difficult and usually only Foundation Establishment stage martial uncles had the strength to complete them. Of course, the rewards and contribution points gained from completing these types of missions were also very high.

In addition, there is a rather special kind of mission, this kind of mission is issued by the Sect's Foundation Establishment stage martial uncle or the Elders themselves, after completing the mission, you can also get a lot of rewards and contribution points, but this type of mission rewards and contribution points are given out by the Master who issued the mission himself. "

Xu Fan asked curiously, "There's such a mission?" So what kind of tasks do they usually post? What are the restrictions on the sect's missions? "

Murin said, "There aren't any restrictions, but the majority of the missions are issued by the Foundation Establishment stage seniors or the elders of the sect, and the tasks they issue are usually quite complicated and time-consuming, such as collecting large amounts of materials or herbs. In order to have more time to cultivate, these Foundation Establishment stage seniors released the materials and herbs that they needed, and let the lower level disciples help search for them. In the sect, only those who are at least Foundation Establishment and above will give out private missions, and low-level disciples like us rarely give out private missions. "

Xu Fan asked with great interest, "Why are there so few low-level disciples who post private quests?"

Murin smiled and said, "Think about it, for low level disciples like us, not only do we have to complete missions every month, but we also have to think of ways to earn more spirit stones or contribution points to exchange for cultivation pills. How can we have any extra contribution points to contribute to issuing missions? Furthermore, at this stage, what we need the most are cultivation pills. Since we don't know how to refine pills or equipment, we still need to issue a mission to collect the materials and herbs. "

"Oh!"

Xu Fan silently nodded his head.

In fact, Murin was right. Every day, the outer sect disciples would earn contribution points, obtain pills, spirit stones, and other cultivation resources. They would then desperately train, hoping that they would be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, so they wouldn't have the energy to do other things. As they grew older, they would consciously promote themselves to the level of Foundation Establishment disciples who had no hope of ever reaching the Foundation Establishment stage and thus had no hope of ever reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. They would usually switch to alchemy, refining, or talisman crafting techniques, and once they had achieved a little in these areas, it could also be recognized by the sect, and then they would be sent to different industries to act as deacons, acting as the lowest level of management.

However, this only applied to the older disciples, who were unable to even reach the great circle of the Qi Cultivation stage. For late Qi Cultivation stage disciples like Murin, who were still young, most of them were bitterly accumulating cultivation resources in order to pursue the ethereal path of immortality.

However, to Xu Fan, it was completely different. He had the heaven-defying Chaotic Seven Star Pagoda, so the pills and spirit stones he cultivated weren't lacking; rather, he needed a large amount of time to explore the mysteries of cultivation. The reason why he had asked Murin so many questions about the mission was actually because he was very concerned about how he could reduce the time needed to complete it.

"Oh right, Senior Brother Mu, can we use our contribution points or other materials to cover the monthly mission? Or do you need the help of your fellow apprentices to complete their own tasks? "

Xu Fan thought for a moment, then asked another question.

For example, the reward for the missions that our outer sect disciples have to complete every month is 500 contribution points. If you want to use these contribution points to push for the missions this month, then you must deduct 1000 contribution points. Most of our disciples' contribution points are exchanged for cultivation resources in the sect, so very few people would use it to complete a mission. "

Xu Fan curled his lips. "There's such a rule. I might as well give out my own quest to the other juniors. That way, I'll be able to save 500 contribution points."

Murin shook his head and said, "This method is not good. If everyone does this, then wouldn't it be a mess? Who would go and complete a mission? Issuing missions not only requires 20% of the task contribution, but also can't be issued to other people. "

Xu Fan stared blankly, then asked, "Then what if you use pills or materials, or spiritual herbs to exchange for contribution points to complete the quest?"

For example, for our outer sect disciples, using contribution points to exchange for low-grade Qi Cultivation Pills would require 500 contribution points to exchange for one bottle. On the other hand, if we were to use low-grade Qi Cultivation Pills to exchange for contribution points, we would need a bottle and a half of pills to exchange for 500 contribution points.

"If Junior Brother Xu needs to use pills to exchange for contribution points, you can privately find someone to exchange for them, the ratio is much lower than the sect's. However, I suggest that you do not use contribution points to offset the sect's mission. Of course, if Junior Brother Xu has any difficulties, I can help you complete your monthly mission in the short term."

Xu Fan couldn't help but have a good impression of Murin. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, Brother Mu. However, I don't need to trouble you to take care of such a small matter. You are currently at the late Qi Cultivation stage, so you need time to cultivate."

Although Murin wanted to get closer to Xu Fan, he didn't dare take advantage of Xu Fan's monthly quest. After all, it wasn't something that could be accomplished in a short amount of time, and he still needed to earn cultivation resources to break through. Murin glanced at Xu Fan and said, a little embarrassed, "Junior Xu, I …"

Xu Fan said straightforwardly, "Senior Brother Mu doesn't need to explain. I understand. Besides, I can handle this small matter." "Alright, I'll go and see what kind of missions I can accept."

With that, Xu Fan walked inside.
