NOVEL NEXT Chapter 18
Mission (II)
[Ding! An achievement mission has been issued. Host, please complete the first kill of the Level 2 demon beast as soon as possible.]
Jiang Chengxuan was speechless.
Just as He was about to reject Shen Ruyan’s invitation, the system gave him such a mission.
Moreover, the system wanted him to complete it as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, what was as soon as possible supposed to mean?
As if it had heard Jiang Chengxuan’s thoughts, the system replied directly.
[Host, please complete this mission within three days. Otherwise, it will be considered a failure.]
Three days?
Jiang Chengxuan was a little speechless.
The system was basically asking him to complete that mission with Shen Ruyan.
After all, in such a short time, where could he find a Level 2 demon beast for him to kill?
Even if there was, he did not dare to go without knowing the situation.
At the thought of this, Jiang Chengxuan looked at Shen Ruyan and said,
“Elder Ruyan, have you found out why those demon beasts appeared outside Canyon City?”
“I don’t know it yet.”
Shen Ruyan shook her head.
“Finding out the reason is probably also a part of our mission this time. As long as we find out the reason, even if we can’t eliminate those demon beasts, we should be able to get a lot of family contribution points.”
Family contribution point was an internal mechanism unique to the Shen Immortal family.
Anyone from the Shen Immortal family could use the contribution points to exchange for resources.
From cultivation techniques to medicinal pills, from Dharma artifacts to precious materials, as long as it was something the Shen Immortal family had, it could be exchanged with family contribution points.
Most importantly, the cultivation resources in the hands of a Violet Palace Immortal family like the Shen Immortal family were simply beyond the reach of some independant cultivators in the outside world.
Even if you had enough spirit stones, you might not be able to buy them.
This was also the greatest advantage family and sect cultivators had over those independant cultivators.
At this moment.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had already arrived at the Mission Hall.
When some of the disciples of the Shen Immortal family saw the two of them, they bowed respectfully.
There were all kinds of ways to address Shen Ruyan.
Some called her First Aunt, some called her Second Aunt, and some called her Elder Ruyan.
However, there was one kind of way to address Jiang Chengxuan.
That was Elder Jiang.
Clearly, in three years, many disciples of the Shen Immortal family knew that there was an elder with the surname Jiang in their family.
He greeted these juniors.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan quickly arrived at the place where missions were issued and taken.
Shen Ruyan took a jade slip and checked it. Then, she turned to Jiang Chengxuan and said, “I got it. This is the mission.
Elder Jiang, you can take a look first.”
As she spoke, she handed the mission jade slip to Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan took it with a smile and placed it on his forehead.
Soon, he read the relevant mission information.
It was not much different from what Shen Ruyan had told him previously.
The only thing worth mentioning was the reward for this mission.
As long as he completed it, he would receive a thousand family contribution points.
Even if he could only find out the reason, he could still receive 400 family contribution points.
In total, it was 1,400 family contribution points.
What kind of concept was 1,400 family contribution points?
If it was purely used to exchange for spirit stones, it would be a total of 1,400 spirit stones.
However, family contribution points were far more precious than spirit stones.
No one was stupid enough to use the family contribution points to exchange for spirit stones.
If this example didn’t make it clear enough, then let’s take Dharma artifacts, pills, and resources as examples.
Normally speaking, a low-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact was worth about 600 to 800 spirit stones.
However, if you used the family contribution points to exchange for it, you would not need so many.
Anything exchanged with family contribution points would be 20 to 30% cheaper than outside.
In other words, a low-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact was worth about 400 to 600 family contribution points.
This 1,400 family contribution points was enough for you to buy two to three low-grade Level 2 Dharma artifacts.
And this was not counting the cultivation gains from killing demon beasts.
Even with Jiang Chengxuan’s cautious personality, he could not help but be tempted by such a generous reward, even though he knew that this reward would have to be split up into two.
However, even if it was split into two, it was enough for him to exchange for a low-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact from the Shen Immortal family.
“How is it? Elder Jiang, do you want to do this mission with me?”
At this moment, Shen Ruyan turned to Jiang Chengxuan and asked with a smile.
Jiang Chengxuan pondered for a moment before nodding.
“Sure, but how should we split the reward?”
Jiang Chengxuan felt that he had to make things clear in advance.
He didn’t want them to fall out because of this.
He had been in the cultivation world for more than a hundred years and had seen too many similar things.
Therefore, even though he knew that saying this would make him seem petty, he had to mention it.
Shen Ruyan had obviously thought about this long ago. When she heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words, she immediately smiled and replied, “It’s just the two of us. How about we split it half and half?”
If that was the case, it was obvious that she wanted to help Jiang Chengxuan.
After all, on the surface, Shen Ruyan’s cultivation was at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm while Jiang Chengxuan was at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
One was in the middle stage, and the other was in the early stage.
Without thinking, it was obvious that Jiang Chengxuan was the one who benefited should the reward be split equally.
Jiang Chengxuan did not decline her kindness. When he heard that, he immediately nodded.
“Alright, when do we set off?”
He was obviously still thinking about the mission given to him by the system.
It would naturally be best if they could set off as soon as possible.
“Tomorrow morning. I’ll meet you here tomorrow morning. What do you think?”
Shen Ruyan thought for a moment and replied with a smile.
However, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.
“I think we should set off now.
The sooner we handle it, the better.
That way, not only can the people in Canyon City be at ease, but we can also avoid some possible variables that may occur.
After all, neither of us can guarantee that nothing will happen to the array in Canyon City.”
