Chapter 9 Assessment Tasks
"Thick accumulation broke out, and then I broke through to the Tao Palace realm. Senior brother is overly praised."
"Since your realm has reached the Dao Palace realm, according to our rules in Shushan, as long as you complete the assessment of the Dao Palace realm, the elders of the Dao Palace realm can receive more materials needed for practice every month."
"Please elaborate, Senior Brother."
Lu Changsheng knew that Elder Shushan had to complete an assessment when he arrived at the Dao Palace.
After passing the assessment, as an elder in the Dao Palace realm, you can obtain more practice resources from Shushan every month.
Yes, due to natural selection, even in the world of cultivating immortals, resources are limited, and the strong are qualified to allocate more resources, because the Dao Palace realm elders can make greater contributions to Shushan than the Nascent Soul realm elders.
It can also protect the sect for a longer period of time.
The elder's assessment task was originally supposed to be announced by the leader Taiyuan Zhenren, but Taiyuan Zhenren was in seclusion, so it was changed to senior brother Li Changye to issue it on his behalf.
"You have been cultivating in Shushan for hundreds of years, but you have never entered the world. You work behind closed doors and easily become obsessed. You might as well take advantage of this assessment and go and experience it. Do you know Huangzhou?"
"Yeah. The Wild State is located in the extreme south. There are millions of mountains, all of which are deep mountains and old forests. There are countless barbaric tribes. The forces of the Wild Clan and the Monster Clan are intertwined. Its size is no less than that of our Xiazhou."
"Exactly. Fifty years ago, there was turmoil in the Huangzhou. The Huang tribe and the demon tribe were fighting endlessly, which might affect our Xiazhou. Do you know the Liang Kingdom?"
"Elder brother is talking about the Liang Kingdom located in the south of Xiazhou?"
"Liang State is one of the top ten vassal states in terms of population in Xiazhou. It borders Huangzhou and is also the sphere of influence of Wenxian Pavilion, one of the six major sects. Recently, the branch of Wenxian Pavilion set up on the border of Huangzhou was attacked.
Three Nascent Soul Realm elders and hundreds of disciples, no one was spared."
"Since it is Wenxian Pavilion's sphere of influence, then Wenxian Pavilion should be responsible for solving Liang Guo's affairs."
Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised.
Wenxian Pavilion is one of the six major sects. Although its foundation is not as profound as Shushan, it has existed for 200,000 years. How dare someone dare to bloodbath a branch of Wenxian Pavilion?
"This is the truth, but the turmoil in Huangzhou will not only affect Wenxian Pavilion. So Wenxian Pavilion asked us, Shushan, to send an elder to go with their elders to the border of Huangzhou to investigate the matter. This is both Wenxian Pavilion and Wenxian Pavilion.
What the Pavilion Master means is also what I mean.”
"Elder brother is worthy of being the most valued disciple of the master. He is far-sighted. So, eldest brother is planning to let me go?"
"Yes, you just arrived at the Dao Palace realm, so you can go and experience it. Wenxian Pavilion will send three Dao Palace realm elders, and the leader is Elder Kumu. If I remember correctly, his cultivation level is probably at the Dao Palace realm.
The fourth level of the Dao Palace Realm. This shows that Wenxian Pavilion attaches great importance to this matter. With Elder Kumu from the fourth floor of the Dao Palace Realm leading the team, plus you, there are a total of four Dao Palace Realm elders, so it should not be too dangerous. Of course, when you are away from home
, be careful in everything."
Li Changye briefly explained the content of the assessment tasks.
Lu Changsheng understood that this mission was mainly solved by the people from Wenxian Pavilion.
As for his identity, he is equivalent to an observer.
As the number one right path in Xiazhou, Shushan has to be on guard against possible threats.
A strong man from the fourth level of Dao Palace will lead the team, so nothing will happen, right?
After the Shushan Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, Lu Changsheng had not yet found the next suitable disciple.
During this trip to the mountains for training, we may be able to identify potential disciples along the way.
Lu Changsheng has a discipleship simulator that can automatically search for suitable disciples nearby without having to worry about it.
"So when will we leave?"
"Just rush to Nanguan of Liangguo Town within ten days."
"Yeah."
"When you come back and report to me what happened in the border areas of Huangzhou, you will have completed the assessment."
After Li Changye handed over the assessment tasks, Yu Jian left.
Lu Changsheng has the apprenticeship simulator, so he really doesn’t care about the monthly salary paid by Shushan.
However, by completing the sect tasks in Shushan, you can accumulate points and exchange them for rare magic weapons, skills, and elixirs at the Treasure Pavilion.
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng went down the mountain once just to see if there were any talented people who could be accepted as his disciples.
Before leaving, Lu Changsheng did not forget to collect the wool from the system again.
Lu Changsheng summoned his disciple Lin Qingzhi to continue teaching and initiation.
This time Lu Changsheng spent 300 days of cultivation, Lin Qingzhi actually gained 60 days of cultivation, Lu Changsheng received 80 times the reward, and returned 4,080 days of cultivation.
Lu Changsheng felt that there was a lot more spiritual energy in his Dantian, and the Dao Palace was more stable.
"This third-grade elixir, 'Resurrection Pill', can strengthen the Taoist heart after the soul is attacked. I will give it to you to save your life."
Lu Changsheng took out a third-grade elixir.
"Thank you, Master."
Lin Qingzhi has been given various magic weapons, elixirs, and exercises by Lu Changsheng these days, and he has become numb.
If he didn't accept the reward, Lu Changsheng would be furious.
In Lin Qingzhi's eyes, Master is undoubtedly a weirdo.
[Ding, you rewarded your apprentice ‘Lin Qingzhi’ with a third-grade elixir, and you will receive a reward of 10,000 times the apprenticeship: the seventh-grade elixir ‘Nine Nether Soul Gathering Pill’.]
[Ding, the number of rewards available today is -1.]
Seventh grade elixir?!
Lu Changsheng was also shocked by the return of apprenticeship.
This time, the 10,000 times reward was actually triggered, and the seventh-grade elixir was returned!
Seven-grade elixirs are rare even in Shushan.
Jiuyou Soul Gathering Pill, even if the soul of a Dao Palace practitioner is attacked, as long as the soul is not completely scattered, taking the Jiuyou Soul Gathering Pill can reunite the soul.
"My master needs to go down the mountain in the near future. Please refine the spiritual energy I sent to you."
"Disciples must practice hard."
Lin Qingzhi knew that Lu Changsheng didn't want to explain more, so he didn't ask any more questions. Practicing seriously was the best reward for his master.
Lin Qingzhi resigned, and Lu Changsheng was carrying the Nine Heavens Thunder Sword on his back and wearing Taiyi Taoist robes, preparing to go down the mountain.
Even though this mission seemed easy, for the sake of stability, Lu Changsheng still brought various magic weapons and elixirs.
The incident in Huangzhou can attract the attention of the two major sects of Shushan and Wenxian Pavilion at the same time, and it is not that simple to ask four powerful Taoist palace realms to go and explore the truth.
How can a person wander around the world without getting stabbed?
Lu Changsheng knows this truth, and it is no exception in any world.
Xiazhou is vast, but with Lu Changsheng's cultivation and flying with a sword, it only takes a few days to reach Liang Kingdom.
Shushan is located in the middle of Xiazhou, and Wenxian Pavilion is in the south of Xiazhou. Liang State is the sphere of influence of Wenxian Pavilion.
Lu Changsheng, the original owner of this body, spent a total of two hundred and fifty years in cultivation, most of which was spent in Shushan, so he does not know much about the world outside Shushan in his memory.
This time, Lu Changsheng took advantage of the opportunity of going down the mountain to contact immortal cultivators outside Shushan.
If you're lucky, you might be able to recruit one or two more evil disciples.
