Chapter 291: Missions
"All of the missions are split into 8 Tiers. The first floor has Tier 1 missions. The second floor has Tier 2 missions. The third floor has Tier 3 missions, etc. Likewise, the seventh floor has Tier 7 missions."
"Tier 1 missions are the most numerous, but they are also easy and give small rewards. They are meant for Spirit Channelling Realm cultivators."
"Tier 2 missions are slightly more difficult and are catered for Physique Transformation Realm cultivators. The rewards are also better."
"The seventh floor’s Tier 7 missions are meant for Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators such as yourself. They are difficult, but also have much better rewards and give a higher amount of contribution points."
"Do you know about the Sweepers?" Liu Hao asked Tang Yin. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Tang Yin nodded. The existence of Sweepers was not a secret. In fact, they were well known. All cultivators dreaded the Sweepers.
"Then that makes things easier. As long as you don’t fail any missions, things will be fine. Even if you fail a mission, it is still fine and can be considered an accident. However, you won’t get more than one chance."
"If you fail a mission for the second time, the Sweepers will be dispatched to eliminate you. You will only have one chance. There have even been cases in the past of Sweepers eliminating Law Domain Realm cultivators."
"But all of that aside, I assume you have seen the Exchange Market. The rewards are quite lucrative, no?" Liu Hao said with a laugh.
Tang Yin had to admit that the Exchange Market was very enticing. The Neutral Cultivation Alliance possessed all types of resources. As long as one had enough contribution points, one could obtain anything from the Exchange Market.
Hell, Tang Yin had even seen cultivators on the Exchange Market! Of course, they weren’t slaves. Instead, they were members of the Neutral Cultivation Alliance. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
As long as one had enough contribution points, one could rent out even a Law Domain Realm guardian. But it was even more expensive than entering a Holy Land.
"The missions are split into 3 sections. Local, Global and Urgent."
"The Local missions are missions that have been commissioned from the nearby vicinity. This includes the surroundings tens of Regions."
"The Global missions are missions commissioned from all over the Bright Yang Continent. However, cultivators usually choose Global missions that are near their Branches. After all, they wouldn’t want to travel across the entire continent for some mission."
"The Urgent missions are commissioned by people who need something done urgently. There is usually a time limit on these missions, and most are even dangerous. But the rewards are quite good."
"The missions that you will see in these jade tokens are available across all the Branches of the Neutral Cultivation Alliance. Never reserve missions, otherwise, they will be taken before you even know it."
"This is just my personal suggestion, based on centuries of experience I’ve accumulated as a Keeper. I recommend choosing missions that align with your strengths, complement your specialities, and most importantly, that you feel confident about. Only choose a mission that you’re at least 80% sure you can successfully complete. You wouldn’t want to recklessly waste your only free chance of failing a mission, would you?" Liu Hao said earnestly.
Tang Yin nodded. But then a sudden thought occurred to him. "Does my Personal Identification Tokens keep a record of everything I do?"
Liu Hao’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Yes, that is indeed the case. Every mission you complete, every resource you redeem and exchange with contribution points will be recorded down in the Personal identification Token."
Tang Yin nodded. He was certain that the Personal Identification Token could not spy on his actions. The reason for this was simple. Every cultivator would keep their Personal Identification Token in their storage rings, even if the token spied on the cultivator, it would obtain almost no information.
Incorporating spyware in their Personal Identification Tokens was something the Neutral Cultivation Alliance would not do. The risk of outrage from the Bright Yang Continent in the case of being caught would far outweigh any minimal information they could obtain.
"That is pretty much everything about missions. Please feel free to check them." Liu Hao moved to the side.
"Thank you." Tang Yin expressed his sincere gratitude once again.
"No problem. Just doing my job." Liu Hao said with a smile.
Tang Yin nodded and walked over to the black altar. He picked up one of the emerald jade tokens and sent his divine sense into it.
It was just as Liu Hao had said, the missions were split into 8 Tiers and 3 sections. He had access to all of the missions except for Tier 8 missions and all 3 sections.
Tang Yin briefly glanced at a Tier 7 Local mission.
[Mission: Clear a nest of Golden Earth Moles]
[Description: A pair of Low-tier Rank 7 Golden Earth Moles have been causing a lot of damage in the River Forest Region. They are also rapidly reproducing to create a large nest of Golden Earth Moles.]
[Difficulty Level: Tier 7]
[Location: River Forest Region]
[Objective: Kill the pair of Low-tier Rank 7 Golden Earth Moles, destroy their nest, and kill their offspring.]
[Rewards: Keep the corpses, Dragon Sunflower, 4,000 Contribution Points.]
Tang Yin was somewhat enticed to take on this mission.
The corpses of the 2 Low-tier Rank 7 Golden Earth Moles would net him a total of 10,000 contribution points. The Dragon Sunflower was a precious Medicinal Herb worth 4,000 contribution points, plus an additional 4,000 contribution points. Altogether, that was 18,000 contribution points.
However, the mission was dangerous, even for a Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
One would need to deal with 2 Low-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beasts at the same time, whilst guarding against any potential ambushes. They would then need to deal with the Golden Earth Mole’s innate ability, Earth Escape.
Even if one came out unscathed, the chances of failing this Tier 7 Local mission were quite high, even for a Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Was it worth it to lose a one-time free chance of failing a mission for 18,000 contribution points? No.
As mentioned earlier, the Exchange Market sold anything. This included ’A free chance of failing a mission without consequence.’
However, the price was astronomical, it cost 100,000 contribution points. After all, without it, one would be eliminated by a Sweeper. It was akin to a second life.
Tang Yin then turned his attention to a Global Tier 7 mission.
[Mission: Find and obtain a 9-Leafed Sapphire Lotus]
[Description: Find, obtain and deliver a 9-Leafed Sapphire Lotus to a Neutral Cultivation Alliance Branch.]
[Difficulty: Tier 7]
[Location: Unknown]
[Objective: Read the description again.]
[Rewards: Tier 4 Burning Cultivation Pill, 3,000 Contribution Points.]
The 9-Leafed Sapphire Lotus was known for its precious medicinal properties. It was said to be able to cure any illness or injury, no matter how severe. The lotus was particularly effective in restoring damaged meridians and nourishing one’s soul. However, it was only effective on cultivators below the Law Domain Realm, hence it was a Tier 7 mission at best.
Due to its rarity and healing properties, the 9-Leafed Sapphire Lotus was a highly coveted Medicinal Herb. It was often found in hidden locations, guarded by powerful beasts and traps. Many cultivators had spent decades searching for the Medicinal Herb for personal purposes.
The Tier 4 Burning Cultivation Pill was worth 2,000 contribution points. Altogether, one would obtain 5,000 contribution points.
This mission was practically a rip-off. Only cultivators who chanced upon the 9-Leafed Sapphire Lotus in a fortunate encounter would be able to fulfil the mission without wasting a decade’s worth of time.
Tang Yin shook his head and moved on to an Urgent Tier 7 Mission.
[Mission: Cure Lady Cui]
[Description: Lady Cui has been inflicted with the Bloodroot Poison.]
[Difficulty: Tier 7]
[Location: Mystic Tree Region’s Cui Family]
[Objective: Travel to the Mystic Tree Region’s Cui Family to cure Lady Cui.]
[Time Limit: 1 Month]
[Rewards: Tier 4 Artifact, one favour from the Cui Family’s Patriarch, 3,000 Contribution Points.]
This mission wasn’t actually too bad for Tang Yin. He could simply just Devour the Bloodroot Poison with the Heaven Devouring Abyss. However, the problem was the location.
The Mystic Tree Region was near the Demon Accretion Region. It was around 20 to 30 Regions away from Tang Yin’s current location. It was not worth travelling such a distance for around 4,500 contribution points and a favour from the Cui Family’s Patriarch.
There were Local Tier 7 missions that could reward more contribution points and barely required Tang Yin to travel far. At most, he would just face a tiny bit of danger. However, Tang Yin believed in his strength.
Even if he had to go all out, with the Abyss Emperor Transformation and Xiao Fei’s Space Warp, he could complete many missions. The only problem would be cloaking his strength.
Overall, Tang Yin could complete a vast majority of Tier 7 missions with confidence.
