Chapter 345: Rank Three Most Difficult Mission

Lou Mu Yan and Zi Che Shi left the yard together and went to find Ding Hao.

On the way, Zi Che Shi said first: “It seems that the rumours aren’t credible. Junior Sister Lou being able to choose an individual courtyard must be because of your own strength.”

“Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Senior Brother didn’t show any unkindness to me before, so you must also probably didn’t fully believe the rumours.” Lou Mu Yan replied with a light smile.

She would live in the Talisman School for a long time in the future, so she naturally should have a good relationship with this Senior Brother.

“The atmosphere of the Eight Extremes Sect is relatively righteous, so things like you being a relative of Elder Ao to enjoy privileges, as long as one is capable of discerning, they wouldn’t believe it.”

From the first time Zi Che Shi met Lou Mu Yan, he discovered that the Sect Leader and the several Elders all had an unusual attitude towards her. Only those who were blinded by jealousy would believe the rumours of so-called ‘relatives’.

After chatting idly for a bit, the two met Ding Hao, who was introducing the other three people to the Talisman School, and they also joined in.

Ding Hao then took them to meet many old pupils in the Talisman School.

The pupils of the Talisman School were relatively free, and they could usually move around wherever. They also had a very good relationship with each other, and the attitude of the old pupils when meeting the five could also be considered quite enthusiastic.

When Lou Mu Yan returned to her courtyard, she discovered that there were not only not many resources available on her to use, but because she also gave all her Spiritual Stones to Lou Mu Ting, she was right now a very poor person.

It took a lot of resources for her Spirit Pets to advance, so she could only take out the contribution points jade slip given by Ao Rong to take a look.

The above specifically introduced the rules for how to obtain and use contribution points in the Eight Extremes Sect, and also listed the things that could be exchanged in the resource pool in the most recent three years.

Lou Mu Yan swept it again and found that she and her few Spirit Pets could use a lot of the things in the resource pool, but the contribution points required added up to an astronomical figure. She could only take one step at a time.

“Owner, are we going to take on missions to earn contribution points now?” Bing Ji was gearing up. When he was with Lou Mu Yan, he was already used to turning into a Seven-Coloured Parrot.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “In the Sect, give it a rest for me.

“Let’s talk about missions tomorrow after listening to the lectures of the Elders who teach in the Talisman School tomorrow.”

The next day, Lou Mu Yan went to the Talisman School to listen to the Grade 4 Talisman Master Elder’s lecture. Although she knew most of the things, but there were also things worth learning.

Another two days passed. Lou Mu Yan flew on her sword and arrived at the Sect’s mission registration management office.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she saw many people coming in and out, very lively, and most of them were unfamiliar faces. A few also had very strong auras.

Lou Mu Yan stepped into the main hall and headed straight to the innermost registration office.

There were three supervisors on duty at the registration office at this time. In front of the three were long queues, either pupils who were handing in their missions or pupils who were accepting missions.

Lou Mu Yan randomly chose a long line to walk over and waited in line like everyone else.

During the period, she also heard many discussions.

The mission distribution of this Sect was divided into nine ranks. The higher the rank, the higher the difficulty and of course, the more contribution points.

Lou Mu Yan listened to the surrounding discussions and found that most of the Outer Pupils in the Sect chose tasks below Rank 4, while the Inner Pupils chose missions below Rank 7.

As for the missions above Rank 7, one generally needed to form a party to complete, and the higher the difficulty factor, there may not even be a single person accepting it for many years.

In the mission area, two walls refined of Spars were specially built. On one side, there was a list of the top hundred contribution points rankings of the Inner Sect, and on the other, there was a ranking list of the Outer Sect’s top hundred contribution points.

Of course, the contribution points list would also change constantly with the contribution points of pupils.

However, it was said that regardless of whether it was the top ten of the Outer Sect or Inner Sect’s top ten, the people on the contribution points list would generally not change—only their rankings would change, and the magnitude wasn’t big.

It was almost an hour’s wait before it was her turn. As soon as she walked in, she handed her identity token to the assistant in charge of registration.

After the supervisor checked the identity token per guidelines, he handed her a jade slip and said: “The missions are all on it. You can choose it yourself. You can only choose one at a time, and you can continue to accept a second one after completion.”

“Alright!” Lou Mu Yan used her Mental Energy to check the missions and found that most of the missions below Rank 3 could be completed with the strength of a Sword Monarch, so she jumped right away and looked at Rank 3 missions.

In fact, even Rank 3 missions weren’t that difficult for her, but for the first time taking on a mission, she still followed the principle of being low-profile, so she chose the most difficult one among the Rank 3 missions.

“I choose the mission of catching Leopard Lion Beasts alive.” Lou Mu Yan said.

The supervisor looked up at her in surprise, thought for a bit, then reminded: “This is the most difficult task in Rank 3. It’s your first time completing a mission, you can do something simple first.”

“Thank you for the reminder, but I’ll choose this one.” Lou Mu Yan said with a smile.

After completing this mission, there was only one hundred contribution points. For what she wanted to exchange, the contribution points were still far too few.

If it wasn’t because it was her first time doing a mission to try out, she would definitely choose a mission with high contribution points and difficulty.

Only by doing difficult missions could one improve their strength while also gaining contribution points.

“Then it’s up to you. The maximum duration of this task is half a year. If you don’t come to hand in the task after half a year, it’ll be regarded as automatic abstention.” The supervisor had already reminded her, but since the other party still insisted, then he wouldn’t say anything more.

“Alright, then I’ll trouble you.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t go back to her residence after receiving the mission, but instead flew directly to an unmanned area in the Eight Extremes Sect to complete the task.

When the Eight Extremes Sect built the Sect, it included several dangerous areas with abundant resources and many Demonic Beasts. First, it used the method of issuing missions to train pupils of the Sect and their growth, and second, it also provided a steady stream of resources for the Sect.

When Lou Mu Yan left, she was seen by a female pupil who had a good relationship with Xue Lan’er. After she handed in a Rank 3 ordinary mission, she ran to tell Xue Lan’er.

“She actually went to accept the most difficult task in Rank 3?” Xue Lan’er asked in surprise.

“Mm, I watched her accept it with my own eyes. The supervisor even reminded her, but she still insisted on taking the task.” The woman replied.

Xue Lan’er smiled disdainfully: “The Leopard Lion Beast is as fast as lightning, and is also a social beast.  It’s difficult even for a Sword Sovereign powerhouse to catch a hundred of them alive, let alone a pupil who had only just been promoted into Sword Sovereign. She truly can’t weigh herself.”

“Yeah! Even if she has Elder Ao’s support, she shouldn’t be this arrogant.” The woman concurred.

“Go and release this news.” Xue Lan’er said with a grim smile: “You should know what to do right?”

“I understand.” The woman usually clung to Xue Lan’er and dared not refuse her orders. Besides, she also hated Lou Mu Yan who could enjoy an individual courtyard.

The news that the new pupil Lou Mu Yan was over-confident and accepted the hardest Rank 3 mission for her first mission—despite the supervisor’s warning—spread within only two hours.

Many people were influenced by Xue Lan’er’s deliberate spreading of rumours before and disliked Lou Mu Yan. Now that they heard that she was so arrogant, they hated her even more, and waited for her to be unable to complete the mission and be embarrassed.

This matter spread to the ears of the Headmasters of the various Schools and they all came to pay attention to this matter.

After all, although the Leopard Lion Beast’s mission was only Rank 3, but it was very difficult to complete. So far, no one had managed to catch more than fifty of them alive.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t know what Xue Lan’er did. She was currently on her way to the mountain where the Leopard Lion Beasts lived.

Of course, if she knew about Xue Lan’er’s plan, she might even applaud her, shouting ‘good’. Consecutively slapping faces was her favourite thing to do.
