Chapter 637: The Hall of Mission

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

There was a very important place inside the Shang Qing Sect, named the Hall of Mission.

Just like its name indicated, this was the place where each division gave out missions to its pupils.

After the missions that each division sent out, anyone inside the Shang Qing Sect could acquire people for their private mission. But of course, all missions must pay with contribution points.

Normally speaking, private missions paid better than missions of the Sect. Therefore, many cultivators who lacked contribution points came here to get assigned private missions.

Of course, this didn’t mean nobody would take on the Sect’s missions. Missions with higher difficulty level had very good payout rates. It was just the low-level missions that most people did not want to do.

No matter which mission a cultivator wanted, they must personally come to the Hall of Missions. This was why the Hall of Mission was a place with high interest and was always highly populated.

It didn’t matter whether it was night or day, the Hall of Mission had many many people and could be named the most clamorous place.

Currently, the Sun had just rose, shedding down faint gold light that surrounded this entire palace.

Ling Xian was standing right before the entrance. Looking at this ferocious looking palace, he had a soft curl to his lips.

Ever since he had left the meeting hall, he had been enlightening himself with the Immortal of Crafts’ inheritance. Within these 10 days, he had improved his craftsmanship to the eighth realm and was now officially an Eighth Realm Craftsman.

Then, he came here in order to earn some contribution points and acquire the Shang Qing Technique.

As for how he accidentally slapped Dong Fang Yu in the face, he didn’t think about that twice at all.

One has to admit that Dong Fang Yu had really bad luck. She had made such a request the moment he entered the eighth realm. So Ling Xian made an eighth realm treasure to practice and somehow slapped her in the face, which created much future trouble for him.

As for whether or not he could deal with the trouble, nobody knew. But in the short term, Dong Fang Yu shouldn’t be asking for him.

“Hopefully you won’t trouble me again.”

Ling Xian mumbled. The goal for him being here was to earn some contribution points at a crazy speed. During this process, he didn’t want to be bugged by anyone.

This was why he completed Dong Fang Yu’s request even though he knew making an eighth realm craft would not end well with Dong Fang Yu.

His goal was to not have to go to class so he could save time and do more important things.

“Let us go. I need to work fast and earn some contribution points.”

Thinking about the astronomical number he needed to acquire the Shang Qing Technique, he felt a headache. However, that inheritance was something he needed to get himself. So no matter how much his head hurt from it, he had to try his best.

Therefore, he lengthened his stride and entered the Hall of Mission.

This hall was extremely spacious. In midair, a giant screen was suspending and on it were all the information of the newly released missions. Below the screen was a handful of people. At one glance, there were at least a few thousand.

From this, one could tell just how popular the Hall of Mission was.

At this, Ling Xian shook his head. He thought it was far too loud in here and he needed a quiet space. First of all, as a newly admitted person in the Hall of Mission, he needed to register before he could take on any missions.

Therefore, he marched on and came to the counter at the front.

When he arrived, the woman in charge of personal information smiled at him sweetly, “Hello, are you here to register yourself?”

“Yes.”

Ling Xian nodded. Before the woman could answer, he had already handed over his token.

The woman’s smile widened. After taking over his token, she placed it a strange treasure. Then, Ling Xian’s information synchronized with the registration list.

In other words, he could now accept missions.

“Alright, all your information is in now. What else do you need help with?” The woman grinned and handed over the token to Ling Xian.

“I need a quiet environment. Are there individual rooms in this hall?” Ling Xian grinned.

“Yes, there are. They are all on the second floor. You can swipe your token to enter.”

The woman nodded and glanced at Ling Xian suspiciously, “however, renting it for an hour requires five contribution points. It will be taken straight out of your token.”

“I haven’t even done a mission yet I already have to spend some points?”

Ling Xian chuckled. Thankfully he had helped the Array of the Astonished Gods and earned 100,000 contribution points. Or else he would have to do everything in this messy hallway and couldn’t even earn a quiet room.

Looking at him chuckle, the woman thought he was being overwhelmed and reminded him kindly, “You can accept missions inside the great hall. There is really no difference.”

No difference?

Ling Xian didn’t speak and merely smiled. If he merely wanted to do some missions, then naturally it wasn’t a big deal. However, he wanted to go crazy with these missions. If he did it inside the great hall, then, he would create chaos.

He didn’t want anyone to circle him and watch.

Therefore, he began to walk and came to the second floor.

There was a solo room there, prepared for those who didn’t want to be bothered.

He took out his white token and swept it above the door. Immediately, the strange treasure at the door sensed his personal information and deducted five contribution points from him. Then, the door opened automatically.

“What a strange treasure.”

Ling Xian complimented and marched inside.

The room itself wasn’t large but was equipped with soundproof and spiritual energy arrays. It could promise that nobody inside could be seen by those on the outside and those on the inside won’t be distracted by any external noises.

In midair, a giant screen was suspending. On it was dense writings of missions’ information. Every single second, new missions would appear.

“Not bad. This room is well-equipped. Those five contribution points were well spent.”

Smiling in satisfaction, Ling Xian made sure nobody could see him before he came in front of the large screen in preparation to refresh his contribution points like crazy.

He saw on the screen that there were four types of missions. They were “Cultivation”, “Alchemy”, “Crafts”, and “Arrays.” Ling Xian wasn’t interested in the first three right now.

He didn’t want to expose his abilities with cultivation and alchemy just yet. Also, what he knew about crafts is far behind his other skills, so it was useless for him to use it to earn points fast.

Therefore, he gave up on the first three categories and decided to focus on ancient arrays.

Immediately, the screen darkened. When it lit up again, all the missions on there were now about ancient arrays.

Looking at the various different missions, Ling Xian felt a little pitiful. Since he was newly registered, his level was the lowest one – one star. Therefore, the screen only showed all the low leveled missions he was allowed to accept.

Those high leveled missions weren’t allowed to be accepted by him.

“It seems like I have to start anew.” Ling Xian sighed softly. Then, his expression turned serious.

Though all of these low leveled missions had very low payouts, they were all he was allowed to take on. Though mosquitos are tiny, they are still protein. So he had to take them on seriously.

Therefore, he scanned the giant screen and decided to take on the first mission.

This mission wasn’t a high leveled one but had many requirements. Basically, it required a complete drawing of an array that was both offensive and defensive. It had to be a painting of an array that low leveled array masters could make a reality.

The payment for this mission was a pitiful five points.

This made Ling Xian laugh voicelessly. Because the difficulty of this wasn’t exactly easy. Even normal array masters might not be able to complete this.

But, he was no ordinary array master.

To other array masters, this mission may be difficult. But to him, it was just so-so.

Therefore, he merely drew a few lines on the mission screen and fulfilled all the requirements of this mission.

Then after it passed the Shang Qing Sect array masters’ inspection, this array drawing was sent out and published inside the mission sender’s token.

Five contribution points also automatically transferred to his own token.

Then, without hesitation, Ling Xian went on to his second mission of the day.

Compared to the first mission, this one was relatively easier. Therefore, he only used three seconds to complete it.

Another five points acquired.

Though these contribution points were nothing if he wanted to acquire the Shang Qing Technique, small amounts added up. As long as he had enough capabilities, he would be able to gather all the contribution points he needed.

Does Ling Xian have enough capabilities?

The answer was certain. That was something that shouldn’t be doubted.

He was the inheritor of the Immortal of Array. Though he was nowhere near the realm of being a grandmaster, he was more capable than most array masters.

To him, these missions were as easy as one plus one.

Therefore, Ling Xian very easily finished one mission after another. The one that took him the longest merely took him 10 seconds.

Without a doubt, this speed was shocking. Even normal grandmasters could not have speed this amazing.

After all, these missions were not high leveled. However, they had many requirements and were very strange. Without an in-depth knowledge of arrays or some unique way of thinking, it would be impossible to complete the missions.

Ling Xian had both of these points.

Therefore, he was able to finish the mission with terrifying speed. One could describe him as unbelievable.

Luckily, other than himself, nobody knew of his terrifying speed. Or else they would be staring at him wide-eyed.

Just like that, Ling Xian calmed himself and continued to crush through these missions using this insane speed. Drawings of arrays were structured by him one after one and were passed to the mission setters’ hands.

At the same time, contribution points poured into his pocket like a stream of water.

After some time, he had earned 100 contribution points. Though this was almost nothing compared to the price of the Shang Qing Technique, they were points that would take most cultivators many months!

Now that he had tasted sweetness, Ling Xian began to take this more seriously.

He concentrated all on the missions and didn’t think about anything other than earning these points.

He was completely unaware of how the entire Hall of Mission had fallen into a state of shock because of him.

A shock that they had never experienced before!

Everyone was in awe. Especially the ones who sent out missions that Ling Xian ended up completing. They were completely in astonishment to a point of no return!
