Chapter 156 Taking a Mission

Toward this woman, Nangong Lingxuan, Xiao Fan always felt a sense of powerlessness.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

That evening, Xiao Fan went to the Scripture Pavilion to ask Elder He and Elder An for leave…

The reason was that he needed to go out to perform a Sect mission.

Regarding Xiao Fan's departure, the two elders were quite speechless…

Isn't cleaning the Scripture Pavilion good enough?

Why insist on going out to risk life and limb?

However, after thinking it over, the two of them agreed…

Sect Master Xu Yongnian and the others had discussed how to arrange things for Xiao Fan once before.

At that time, everyone believed that while they would provide protection, they should let Xiao Fan be as much like a normal Disciple as possible, without showing any excessive special treatment.

This was also for Xiao Fan's own good.

After requesting leave, Xiao Fan spent the night cleaning the Scripture Pavilion and only went back to rest at dawn.

The time he had agreed upon with Nangong Lingxuan was noon, so he didn't practice his Cultivation Technique during the day.

Instead, his Divine Soul entered the star chart and began refining Medicinal Pills in large quantities.

In recent days, although he had to go to the Scripture Pavilion every day, he would still set aside two hours during the day to focus on refining Medicinal Pills.

Currently, his progress was already significant; he could even occasionally refine a First-Grade High-Quality Medicinal Pill.

Furthermore, whenever the Enlightenment Seed inside him wanted a Wood-attribute Top-Grade Spirit Stone, he would hold one in his palm for the Enlightenment Seed to absorb.

And he didn't tell anyone about these things…

Because it concerned the existence of the star chart.

If Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan knew that Xiao Fan could already refine First-Grade High-Quality Medicinal Pills… they might lead all the Disciples of Danding Peak to the Ancestor of Jixian Sect to plead once more to take Xiao Fan in.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.

The Mission Pavilion was located near the Wanbao Tower.

Xiao Fan arrived at the Mission Pavilion half a quarter before noon.

When he arrived, he thought he was punctual, only to find the other two were already there, standing together and waiting for him.

Chen Feixing smiled upon seeing Xiao Fan and cupped his fists, saying, "Brother Xiao, long time no see."

"Brother Chen."

Xiao Fan returned the greeting politely, while secretly observing Chen Feixing's physical condition.

Their last battle had been so intense; the other's injuries should have been very severe. How did he look like nothing had happened?

He was even able to go out on a mission.

He had actually wanted to ask Nangong Lingxuan about this yesterday.

But he forgot because of her bizarre logic…

As if seeing through Xiao Fan's thoughts, Chen Feixing explained, "My injuries are fine now. There are many Medicinal Pills in the Jixian Sect; I bought some with contribution points, and my Family also prepared some before I came."

Xiao Fan nodded…

"Alright, let's stop the catching up here. Let's go take the mission first."

Nangong Lingxuan glanced at the two of them; this time she didn't call Xiao Fan a Lecher…

She wasn't stupid; what if she scared Xiao Fan away?

She still wanted those contribution points.

The two nodded, and the three of them entered the Mission Pavilion.

Nangong Lingxuan went directly to collect the mission, while Chen Feixing and Xiao Fan stood together.

This was Xiao Fan's first time at the Mission Pavilion. It was very large inside, with many Outer Sect Disciples in blue robes all around, while Disciples in handyman attire were relatively few.

The surrounding walls were covered with bamboo slips, recording various missions.

Xiao Fan looked around and scanned the contents of the bamboo slips.

Hunting Yao Beasts…

Obtaining Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Plants…

Escorting and protecting certain individuals…

There were even missions for assassinations and investigations.

Xiao Fan gained a new understanding of the Jixian Sect's Mission Pavilion.

It was quite different from what he had imagined.

"Haha, Brother Xiao might not know, but many missions in the Mission Pavilion are actually requested by outsiders who spend large amounts of Spirit Stones for the Sect's help, and the Sect issues the rewards in the form of contribution points…"

"In fact, if Brother Xiao has enough contribution points, you can even come here and post missions yourself."

Chen Feixing explained to Xiao Fan from the side…

Hearing Chen Feixing's words, Xiao Fan understood the operating principle of the Mission Pavilion.

Actually, he had been a bit curious before about where the Mission Pavilion got so many missions to issue.

"Thank you, Brother Chen," Xiao Fan said politely.

"Don't mention it. Actually, the mission we're taking this time was issued by the nearby Xiluo City. Because a large number of Cultivators have gone missing or died in the city, the City Lord is very anxious and paid a high price to post a mission to our Jixian Sect…"

While the two were chatting, Nangong Lingxuan had finished collecting the mission and walked back, holding a Jade Slip in her hand.

"Imprint your Divine Sense onto this."

She tossed the Jade Slip to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's Divine Sense entered it and checked the contents, which were some introductions related to the mission.

Mission: Investigate the disappearance of Cultivators in Xiluo City…

Objective: Find relevant clues, reward of one hundred contribution points.

Resolve the incident, reward of three hundred contribution points.

Mission requirements: At least three Outer Sect Disciples must travel together.

Three hundred points?

That's equivalent to fifteen thousand Spirit Stones…

Xiao Fan immediately gasped; he could see that Xiluo City had indeed paid a high price.

Without hesitation, he imprinted his Divine Sense and passed the Jade Slip to Chen Feixing.

The latter did the same.

Nangong Lingxuan handed the Jade Slip back to the two Deacons at the front of the Mission Pavilion. The two checked it and nodded to each other.

Proving that the mission was now in effect.

The three of them strode out of the Mission Pavilion and set off directly for Xiluo City.

This was also the first time Xiao Fan had left the Jixian Sect since arriving.
