Chapter 38: Merit and Reward
As for Little Fatty and Monkey, they also received great rewards. First, was that they were absorbed into the Enforcement Hall and became an Enforcement disciple in charge of monitoring the outer court disciples. Enforcement disciples are normally prepared for the elite disciples. There were many benefits that came with it, and the most important, is safety. Enforcement disciples represented the sect’s authority, and they all had a Natal jade talisman. If anybody dare touch them, the sect would immediately notice and carry out an investigation. Thus, after becoming an Enforcement disciple, n.o.body dared to provoke Little Fatty and Monkey. Amongst the outer court disciples, they can walk fearlessly.
Furthermore, they also received a few special privileges including spiritual stones and elixirs supplements. They can also choose any 3 cultivation or Dao methods in the sect’s Scripture Library. A pity, after Little Fatty searched through it once, he did not find any lightning spells. It seems that such things are still of a high grade, and cannot be easily found.
Of course, they had a decent amount of spiritual stones and magical tools as rewards. This time, n.o.body dare to have any greed over it. Each of them received 10,000 spiritual stones and 3 pieces of 3rd, 4th or 5th grade magical tool or flying sword. Little Fatty chose a metal type flying sword with a speed of 1200 and gave the other rewards to Monkey. Ever since he had his lightning spell and Copper Bell, he no longer had interest in these low grade magical tools.
After Monkey received a total of 5 magical tools, his little pistol changed into a cannon, and he was very delighted. Little Fatty and Monkey no longer hid around, but walk out in the open freely. Those outer court disciples which were so arrogant before became extremely careful. Afraid to give Little Fatty any information that could be used against them. Where he could borrow the authority of the Enforcement Hall to take care of them.
Thus, Little Fatty lead a period of very happy life. However, it is said that all happiness would come with setback. Little Fatty’s worry-free days did not last long. He received a notice that he was to complete a compulsory sect mission.
A compulsory sect mission is one which is given out by the sect. The reason is also simple, and it was because in the 3 years he became an outer court disciple, he did not complete a single sect mission. The reason why the sect accepted so many outer court disciples was for them to help the sect take care of errands in the name of a mission. This was to save the time of the inner court disciples to focus on cultivation.
Once an outer court disciple do not complete these missions, but only receive the monthly handouts from the sect, it was obviously very disadvantageous to the sect. Thus, in order for the sect to restrict such disciples, they came out with a rule. The rule states that if a disciple did not do any sect missions for 3 years, the sect would appoint a mission for them. Under normal circ.u.mstances, these missions are really troublesome missions which n.o.body wanted to do.
Although Little Fatty was not part of the Enforcement Hall, but it does not change the fact that he is an outer court disciple. Even though he had contributions, but he cannot go against the sect rules. Thus, he did not have a choice but to accept a compulsory sect mission. His mission was to guard the Mystical Sky Temple which was situated near the Blue Moon City, capital of the Blue Moon Nation.
The Blue Moon Nation, was one of the big nations outside of the Vast Mountains. There were millions of households, and a territory of over 10,000 miles wide. It is said that the Blue Moon Nation’s royal family has blood relations with some of the upper echelons of the Mystical Sky Yard. Thus, the royal family of the Blue Moon Nation holds the Mystical Sky Yard in honour, and built a famous Mystical Sky Temple in the periphery of the capital. It already had over a thousand years of history. It can be said that the reason why the Blue Moon Nation is able to flourish, it was because it had the Mystical Sky Yard as backing.
The reason why the Mystical Sky Yard wanted to support a secular nation was because it needed to replenish new talents. Only with the power of a nation, can it gather cultivation talents in the sea of people. Besides, the people of the Mystical Sky Yard were not all saints who completely did not need to eat or drink at all. The lower grade disciples all still need to eat, wear clothes, and other kind of daily essentials. This was also why they could not break away from the support of a large nation. Of course, the Mystical Sky Yard supported many nations, and the Blue Moon Nation was only one of the larger ones.
