All sorts of missions were available, and even Xiang Shaoyun was astonished to see the variety of missions offered. Some could be completed in the academy, such as completing certain jobs the academy required to earn contribution points. Some had to be completed outside the academy, such as looking for treasures, or finis.h.i.+ng some jobs for other organizations, and so on. In short, a large variety of missions were available, and each mission came with a time limit for one to be eligible for the reward.
When Xiang Shaoyun's gaze landed on a certain mission, he exclaimed in astonishment, ”There's even a mission like this here? What an eye-opener.”
He was looking at a notice saying: ”Looking for a piece of Demon Saint feces for a reward of one million contribution points.” A piece of feces for a million contribution points? That was completely inconceivable and odd. Of course, if one noted the ”Demon Saint” keyword in the mission description, one would understand that the one million contribution points offered wasn't excessive.
A Demon Saint was equivalent to a Heaven Battling Realm human in strength. No ordinary person would dare to encroach upon the territory of a Demon Saint. Thus, just a piece of feces could be invaluable. Xiang Shaoyun, Tang Longfei, and company started browsing through the mission notices, trying to decide on a mission to take.
Finally, Xiang Shaoyun set his gaze on a certain mission: ”Looking for dragon liquid. Each drop can be exchanged for 200,000 contribution points.”
The so-called dragon liquid was a type of unique liquid formed after being polluted by draconic aura. It was also known as the emperor liquid and was extremely valuable to any Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. It could increase the speed of the draconic aura's solidification, and it was extremely beneficial for the growth of one's cultivation base.
Apart from Xiang Shaoyun, the mission also caught the others' attention. For them, both contribution points and dragon liquid were important. If they could actually get their hands on some dragon liquid, they might not even be willing to exchange it for contribution points.
”This is it, then,” said Xiang Shaoyun with absolute certainty.
At this time, Tang Longfei said, ”Shaoyun, don't be in too much of a rush. The location of this mission is within the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. It looks like a great mission, but very few people have actually managed to find some dragon liquid.”
”What do you mean?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
”The Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range is an extensive region. Do you know where in the mountain range one can find dragon liquid?” Tang Longfei asked.
”You're saying that this mission can't be completed since the dragon liquid can't be found?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
Tang Longfei nodded. ”Yes. When looking for the dragon liquid, most people can only rely on luck. Thus, there is no time limit for this mission. Anytime you can bring some dragon liquid here, you will be rewarded for this mission's completion. Furthermore, failure of completion also won't cost you anything apart from the contribution points you pay when taking the mission.”
”Uh, you need to pay contribution points to accept a mission?” Xiang Shaoyun blanked out and asked.
”Of course. Otherwise, everyone will take whatever mission they can and cause a big mess. The higher the mission's grade, the more contribution points you need to pay. If you can complete the mission, your deposit will be returned alongside the reward,” Tang Longfei explained.
After more than a year in the academy, Tang Longfei had a basic understanding of the affairs within the academy, unlike Xiang Shaoyun, who still knew nothing. After the explanation, Xiang Shaoyun realized that the points he had to pay would only serve as a deposit. One would only part with the contribution points in the event of mission failure. As Xiang Shaoyun hesitated on which mission to take, Shou Xie, Jin Shui, and Ling Lin also appeared at the Missions Hall.
”Haha, it's great to see you here, Young Master Xiang,” Shou Xie said with a hearty laugh. Jin Shui and Ling Lin also smiled cheerily. They came with a few other people. Evidently, they had formed a group.
”You're here to take a mission as well?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
