8: Chapter 7 Mission 8: Chapter 7 Mission Seeing Lin Xuan about to leave, the handsome young man suddenly stopped him, “Hold on!” “What’s the matter, Duan? Is there anything else?” the person in charge asked. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Brother Liu, wait a moment. I still have something to say to Brother Lin,” the handsome young man said. He didn’t care about the young man’s reaction and directly said to Lin Xuan, “Yellow Rank Advanced Swordsmanship in exchange for your move, and after you join the Battle Group, I guarantee no one will dare to touch you!” “Sorry, I’m not interested,” Lin Xuan said indifferently. That move was passed down to him by his father, and he would never teach it to others. The young man shrugged his shoulders and then led the newcomers away, leaving only the handsome young man and Tang Yu behind. “Tang Yu, are you familiar with that kid?” “Not at all!” Tang Yu said somewhat angrily, “Duan Fei, I’m warning you, don’t set your sights on him!” “Rest assured, a single sword move doesn’t catch my eye,” Duan Fei said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, though his eyes held a hint of coldness. … The person in charge took Lin Xuan and the others to get their Identity Cards, registered their identities, explained some matters, and then let everyone go about their activities freely. Most of these new disciples were from families with many brothers and sisters belonging to the Xuantian Sect; after dispersal, these people went on to seek their own small groups. In the Xuantian Sect, Lin Xuan only knew Tang Yu. Originally, Tang Yu wanted him to join the Battle Group, but seeing the attitude of the handsome young man today, he no longer wanted to join. Holding the basic manual in his hand, Lin Xuan walked towards the Task Hall. Within the Xuantian Sect, all resources had to be exchanged for Contribution Points and Spirit Stones, such as a Yellow Rank Low-level Swordsmanship, which needed 100 Contribution Points plus thirty Spirit Stones to be exchanged. The Contribution Points could be obtained by completing tasks issued within the sect. Some tasks were simple but offered few Contribution Points; those with many Contribution Points were mostly extremely dangerous, presenting both danger and opportunity. Lin Xuan’s strength was at the Third Rank of Pulse Condensation; from what he knew, this level was considered average in the Outer Door, while the Fourth and Fifth Ranks of Pulse Condensation were high-level. If he wanted to participate in the Inner Sect test three months later, he had to reach the Fifth Rank of Pulse Condensation first to have a substantial guarantee. “Uh, promoting two ranks in cultivation in three months, I need Elixir Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Weapons, Spirit Stones…” Lin Xuan thought and felt overwhelmed. “I can only strive hard for Contribution Points,” Lin Xuan decided and began to browse the tasks hanging on the wall. These tasks were divided into nine levels, from level one to level nine, with increasing difficulty and danger, and, of course, increasing Contribution Points. Generally, Outer Disciples only took on the first four levels. Lin Xuan, being new, wanted to start with a simple task to familiarize himself. He saw a task for finding Purple Night Grass, with ten points of Contribution per plant, which was relatively high. Before he could accept it, a group of people came in with hustle and bustle, their cuffs painted with a crescent moon, looking very arrogant. The leader was a dark-faced young man with a scar on his face, giving him a somewhat ferocious and terrifying appearance. He stepped up to the task wall, swung his arm, and took down several low-level, high-contribution tasks, including the Purple Leaf Grass task that Lin Xuan was interested in. Lin Xuan felt annoyed but didn’t make a move. It was just a task, not worth his interference. However, to his surprise, he spotted Zhang Bin among those people. Zhang Bin saw Lin Xuan as well, slightly startled, he exclaimed, “You actually passed the test, what luck!” Seeing Zhang Bin’s expression and recalling the incident with the Red Spot Bamboo Forest Guard, Lin Xuan quickly guessed that it must have been Zhang Bin’s doing. “With Zhang Bin’s strength, it’s impossible for him to be so capable. It seems he must have someone backing him,” Lin Xuan guessed in his mind. “Ah Bin, what’s going on?” the scar-faced young man asked. “Nothing, just a Sword Slave who luckily passed the Outer Door test,” Zhang Bin didn’t want to reveal his issues with Lin Xuan in public and spoke resentfully, “Kid, you’ll find out soon this isn’t the place for you!” These people took many tasks and then strode off arrogantly. “Ah, this Divine Power Group is really overbearing. Taking so many tasks at once, how are we supposed to survive?” a disciple complained. “Keep your voice down, you’ll suffer if they hear you,” someone advised. “Brother, do they always take tasks like this?” Lin Xuan asked a person nearby. “Yes, not only them, but the larger groups also do the same. Brother, I see you have a conflict with the Divine Power Group. I advise you to apologize quickly, or you’ll suffer later.” Lin Xuan just smiled and didn’t respond; Zhang Bin wanted to kill him, there was no way he was going to apologize, but he wasn’t going to tell others about it either. “I wonder what groups exist in this Outer Door?” Lin Xuan then asked. “Ah!” the man shook his head, afraid to continue talking to Lin Xuan and scurried away. “Newcomer, don’t mind him, he’s afraid of getting too close to you and having Divine Martial Group trouble him,” someone explained. Lin Xuan turned around and saw a skinny young man standing with his arms crossed, grinning. “Aren’t you afraid?” Lin Xuan asked curiously. “Not afraid, I hate the Divine Power Group the most, always so overbearing, just annoying!” the skinny young man cursed. “My name is Lin Xuan, how should I address you, brother?” “Luo Yi,” the skinny young man said, “You wanted to know about the Outer Door groups, let me tell you.” “Actually, these big groups don’t really belong to the Outer Door; their real core is in the Inner Door, and many are even related to Core Disciples. The Outer Door is just for them to absorb new forces.” “There are three major groups, the Battle Group, Divine Power Group, and Qingyi Society, with over half of the elite disciples of Xuanjian Sect belonging to these three groups. The rest are many small groups, quite a few based on families or friends who group together for tasks.” “Among them, the Battle Group and Divine Power Group frequently clash, whereas that Qingyi Society is somewhat mysterious. It’s said to be founded by a great beauty, but unfortunately, no one has ever seen her.” “Of course, joining these three groups is somewhat challenging; you need certain strength. Brother, if you have the strength, you can come to our Battle Group,” the skinny man said. “So Brother Luo is from the Battle Group,” Lin Xuan smiled, “I’m accustomed to being free, I don’t really want to join these groups.” Luo Yi thought Lin Xuan was worried about not having enough strength, and he patted Lin Xuan’s shoulder, saying, “If the Divine Power Group troubles you later, you can use my name.” After saying this, Luo Yi picked a Task Token, waved his hand, and walked away. With the Divine Power Group stirring things up, the remaining tasks were either worth pitiful Contribution Points or were overly challenging. Lin Xuan searched for a long time and finally found a task he was satisfied with.
