Chapter 982: Chapter 276: Jade Disc Peak Chapter 982: Chapter 276: Jade Disc Peak If I don’t know, why don’t I just go ask soone who does? Tang Luo decisively chose a quiet room with very few people, and under the shocked and speechless gazes of the crowd, he pushed the door and entered.
Unlike the noise inside the main hall, the mont he entered the quiet room, it felt as if he had co to another tranquil world. However, before Tang Luo even had a chance to sit down, the young Daoist inside the room impatiently said, “Hey, can’t you read? Look at the words on the crystal wall before you enter. These are all Earth Level tasks. What’s a little fellow, who hasn’t even grown all his hair, doing here? Hurry up and get out!”
“Is that so? Don’t be in such a rush to chase people away, Daoist Priest!”
Tang Luo was taken aback and asked politely, “Actually, I’m just a bit confused. I want to know why there are only tasks on the crystal wall but no task rewards?”
The young Daoist glanced at Tang Luo and explained, “For the specific rewards, you have to accept the task first and then negotiate with the Daoist Priest who posted the task. Generally speaking, the higher the rank of the task, the greater the reward. Is this your first ti at Xuanji Sect?”
“Yes!” Tang Luo nodded and then asked, “So, Daoist Priest, if I want an external divine power as a reward, what level of task should I take on?”
“Why do you young people have so many questions?”
The young Daoist Priest criticized with a tone of annoyance but still explained, “That depends on what level the divine power you want is. If it’s Yellow Rank divine power, then take on a Xuan (Mysterious) Level task. For a Xuan Level divine power, you would need to take on an Earth Level task. Of course, this isn’t absolute. For example, with so particularly difficult Xuan Level tasks, if you negotiate well with the Daoist Priest who posted the task, you might also get a secret technique!”
“I see!”
Tang Luo thought for a mont and then asked the young Daoist, “So, are there any requirents for taking on Earth Level tasks?”
From his observations just now, he had roughly grasped the pattern of tasks posted by Xuanji Sect. So tasks seed simple yet consud a great amount of experience, while others appeared dangerous but were actually quite straightforward and convenient given sufficient strength.
Among the Earth Level tasks, there were indeed those which seed perilous but were actually simple and convenient to complete. To do so short-term work for Xuanji Sect could lead to obtaining the secret technique of Great and Small Wishful Incantation, after which one could find a secluded mountain to retreat for cultivation. Thinking about it this way, it seed quite a bargain.
However, after hearing Tang Luo’s question, the young Daoist not only didn’t answer but also gave him a dissatisfied glance, warning, “Not finished yet, huh? Let tell you, if you don’t have the cultivation of Fierce Realm, don’t even touch Earth Level tasks, as it’s a path to certain death. Even for average noble families, taking on Earth Level tasks is akin to having a nine-in-ten chance of dying. See those people wandering outside? Many of them are self-important warriors from Beimang, so are even clan leaders, and they don’t dare co here. So, I advise you not to make trouble for yourself; better go back and cultivate so more. Wait until you’re strong in the future, then consider taking on Earth Level tasks!”
“Eh…” Tang Luo reluctantly shrugged his shoulders and said, “Actually, I’m quite strong. How about you tell which peak has more divine powers, and I’ll just take a task and leave.”
“Why don’t you listen!” said the young Daoist, dissatisfied, “I’ve already told you, Earth Level tasks require…”
With a quick release and withdrawal of his spiritual pressure, the aura of Fierce Realm shocked the young Daoist into speechlessness. Tang Luo smiled and said, “See, Daoist Priest? I should et the standards for taking on Earth Level tasks. Could you tell which Earth Level task might be suitable for ?”
Swallowing nervously, the young Daoist asked Tang Luo with a trembling voice, “How… how old are you?”
“Twenty.”
Tang Luo grinned as he spoke.
“You’re Tang Luo!!”
The young Daoist stood up screaming as if he had seen a ghost, pointing at Tang Luo for confirmation and exclaid, “You’re the youngest Fierce Realm martial artist in history, the unrivaled Longxi’s Pride, right!?”
“Uh… that’s correct, it’s .”
It was the first ti he had been so blatantly flattered, and Tang Luo felt quite awkward as he said, “You know ?”
“Who among the sect disciples does not know you?”
At that mont, the young Daoist seed like a completely different person, overflowing with enthusiasm as he said, “Ever since the Martial Arts Conference in Longzhou ended, everyone has been speculating where you would travel to after encountering a bottleneck in your cultivation at Longxi. Many people thought you would go to Yuanzhou or Zhongzhou, but who could have guessed you would co to Beimang – this is truly wonderful! Eh? Wait, didn’t I hear that a few days ago you were to marry the third young miss from the Mysterious Moon Sword Supre’s family? If you’re not in Longxi, what brought you to Beimang?”
Who knew that Xuanji Sect had its own little fanboys, and to have such a gossipy one at that? Tang Luo touched his nose, feeling sowhat embarrassed as he said, “Heh… let’s talk about the task first. Dear Daoist Priest, do you have any Earth Level tasks suitable for ?”
“Why be so formal, Young Hero? I am the twenty-sixth generation disciple of ‘Chong’ rank at Dragon Gate Mountain. Just call Chongxin!” said the young Daoist as he introduced himself. Then, flipping through the huge register on his desk, he added, “Let find you sothing straightforward and convenient!”
This was quite a change in attitude from earlier, and it made Tang Luo laugh. He could only reply courteously, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Daoist Chongxin!”
Earth Level tasks, none were straightforward and convenient. The seventy-two peaks of Xuanji Sect each specialized in different crafts and covered everything under the heavens.
In essence, Jade Disc Peak treated all the noble families and martial artists as workers for Xuanji Sect. They offered so wages and had these martial artists do the dirty and tiring work for them.
Even on his first visit to Xuanji Sect, Tang Luo had an inkling of the operational model that had allowed Xuanji Sect to stand tall for a thousand years.
Warm Welco Peak was the place for purchasing raw materials. Noble families might offer ten thousand jin of minerals in exchange for a hundred suits of Yellow Rank armor.
Or they might trade a thousand Soul Jades for a few dozen Xuanji Jades, or tens of thousands of divine dicine herbs for a few hundred pills.
Because of Xuanji Sect’s presence, noble families enjoyed resources similar to those of the sects, like pills, armor, weapons, and even Mountain Protection Arrays.
In return, the noble families offered the yield of a mine for several years, even more than a decade, and these resources once given to Xuanji Sect would be transford within a few years into new items to exchange for resources so noble family had accumulated over several years or even decades.
If there were inventors in this world, without a doubt, they would be the Daoists from the seventy-two peaks of Xuanji Sect.
While Tang Luo was caught in his thoughts, Chongxin had sorted out a few task sheets, “Young Hero, you ntioned wanting to exchange for divine power or secret techniques, right? Among the thirty-six inner peaks of Tai Xuan Divine Mountain, Qiansheng Peak, Ziyun Peak, Jixian Peak, and Jiunv Peak are the ones with the deepest martial arts research and the most divine power and secret techniques. Here are tasks from these peaks. Which one would you like to take on?”
“Thank you, Daoist Chongxin,”
Tang Luo said with a smile, taking the task sheets offered by the young Daoist and perusing them carefully.
