Chapter 291: Posting a Mission

"Shopkeeper, do you have chanxin leather and red fire stem here?"

Xiao Fan spoke to the Shopkeeper of the Spirit Medicine section again.

Both chanxin leather and red fire stem were among the three main ingredients for refining the heaven mending pill.

The two Materials he currently had were only enough to refine one portion, so Xiao Fan had previously thought about purchasing more of these two main ingredients.

After all, he had to guard against the possibility of a batch of Medicinal Pills failing.

"We do have those two, but the price… is a bit high."

The Shopkeeper looked at Xiao Fan with confusion, also finding him to be a very unfamiliar face.

"No matter, how many contribution points are needed?"

Xiao Fan didn't care about these contribution points; if two thousand weren't enough, he would just go exchange for more.

"For the red fire stem, it's one hundred and twenty contribution points per segment; for the chanxin leather, it's two hundred contribution points per piece…"

The Shopkeeper replied.

Xiao Fan pondered for a moment, thinking about how many he wanted.

Seeing this, the Shopkeeper assumed Xiao Fan surely didn't have the contribution points to buy them.

After all, the two Materials combined were not a small sum.

Even an Inner Sect Disciple might not necessarily have enough contribution points.

"I'll take five portions each of red fire stem and chanxin leather."

Xiao Fan said. He had already gathered one portion before, so with five more, that would make six portions.

The two main ingredients would be enough to refine six batches.

"What!" The Shopkeeper was stunned.

Five portions of each…

Combined, that would be sixteen hundred contribution points—that was no small amount.

One could even go to the Scripture Pavilion and exchange for several Earth-Rank Cultivation Techniques with that!

"I want five portions of each; is there not enough stock?" Xiao Fan asked, puzzled.

"This will cost sixteen hundred contribution points. Do you… have it?" the Shopkeeper reminded him, his face full of surprise.

Xiao Fan nodded: "I have enough."

The Shopkeeper took another long look at Xiao Fan but didn't ask further, leaving the counter to retrieve the red fire stem and chanxin leather.

Although suspicious, he would get the Spirit Medicines first.

Regardless, this was the Jixian Sect; he wasn't afraid the other party would dare to rob him.

Guan Ling'er, who was standing to the side, hadn't interrupted at all, but her large eyes were constantly darting around, shining with a strange brilliance.

She felt that Xiao Fan was becoming more and more fascinating.

After a short while, the Shopkeeper returned and placed the two Materials in front of Xiao Fan: five portions each of chanxin leather and red fire stem.

Xiao Fan inspected them and found they were indeed the two main ingredients, a look of joy appearing on his face.

He took out his identity token, and seeing this, the Shopkeeper also produced his own token.

Xiao Fan flicked his finger, and a streak of light shot into the other's token.

The Shopkeeper checked; indeed, there were sixteen hundred more contribution points…

The transaction was complete!

Xiao Fan put away the two Materials, his face full of smiles, showing not the slightest hint of heartache.

This left the Shopkeeper completely stunned…

He was suddenly curious about who Xiao Fan really was.

Even the wealthiest Disciples in the Inner Sect weren't as generous as Xiao Fan.

At the same time, Guan Ling'er was smiling like a blooming flower…

Wanbao Tower would give her a ten percent commission.

Since Xiao Fan spent sixteen hundred contribution points, that was equivalent to her earning one hundred and sixty contribution points.

One hundred and sixty contribution points—never mind for a Utility Disciple…

Even for an Inner Sect Disciple, it was a significant sum.

The Shopkeeper looked at Guan Ling'er and flicked his finger, transferring one hundred and sixty points to her.

This was the rule; it could not be broken.

In truth, even if there were no Utility Disciples in Wanbao Tower to lead the way, it could still function normally.

The reason the sect did this…

Was to provide all Disciples with a way to earn contribution points.

Whether it was an Outer Sect Disciple or an Inner Sect Disciple coming to Wanbao Tower to buy things, the price was the same even without a Utility Disciple leading the way.

Xiao Fan cupped his fists to the Shopkeeper and, under the latter's surprised gaze, left Wanbao Tower with Guan Ling'er.

He hadn't managed to buy the eight gods spirit blood needed for the heaven mending pill, but buying more of the other two main ingredients was also good.

Xiao Fan thought for a bit and decided to make a trip to the Mission Pavilion.

Not to accept a mission, but to post one.

He said to Guan Ling'er: "Alright, you can leave now. Thank you."

Guan Ling'er was incredibly excited at this moment; one hundred and sixty contribution points…

She had never seen so many in her life.

"O-okay, Senior Brother Xiao. If you need anything else next time, remember to contact me."

Guan Ling'er bid Xiao Fan farewell with a face full of smiles and left.

After Guan Ling'er left, Xiao Fan walked toward the Inner Sect's Mission Pavilion.

This place wasn't much different from the Outer Sect Mission Pavilion.

Similarly, bamboo slips were hung on the four walls with various missions written on them, though the difficulty was much higher than in the Outer Sect.

Xiao Fan only gave them a few glances and didn't pay much more attention.

However, there were also far fewer Disciples in the Inner Sect Mission Pavilion than in the Outer Sect.

Xiao Fan walked directly to the deacon in charge of posting missions.

This was also a leisure post; it was rare for Disciples to post missions normally.

Seeing Xiao Fan approach, the deacon looked up and found it was a new face he had never seen before.

"Something the matter?"

"I want to post a mission to acquire eight gods spirit blood."

Xiao Fan spoke calmly.

"eight gods spirit blood?" The deacon was taken aback.

Looking at the other's expression, Xiao Fan felt that he probably hadn't heard of this material either.

So he explained: "That's right, it's the Essence Blood of a type of creature called the Eight Gods Spirit Monkey."

The deacon nodded and asked: "Then how many contribution points do you plan to offer as a reward?"

Seeing Xiao Fan's unfamiliar face, he added: "Generally, this kind of Essence Blood is likely something not found in Wanbao Tower. Spirit Beasts are precious, so the contribution points offered are usually very high, and it's not certain that anyone will be able to complete it."

Xiao Fan nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Let's list it for four hundred contribution points for now."

The deacon was stunned…

Four hundred contribution points—that was not a small sum.

"Are you sure?" the deacon asked.

Xiao Fan nodded.

"How much for four hundred contribution points?" the deacon pressed.

"For four drops," Xiao Fan said.

According to the heaven mending pill formula, one drop per batch was sufficient.

The deacon nodded, and Xiao Fan transferred the four hundred contribution points he had just exchanged to him.

The deacon didn't hesitate and posted the mission according to Xiao Fan's requirements.

As for whether it could ultimately be completed, that had nothing to do with him.

As Xiao Fan was leaving, the deacon gave him a Jade Slip.

"If there is any news related to the mission you posted, I will notify you via voice transmission."
