"Yo, Fellow Daoist Xuan Qi, here to turn in another mission?"
In a dim room, a beautiful woman in a red dress looked at the masked man who had just entered and smiled seductively. "It's been less than three years, yet you've risen from an unranked nobody to seventh among the Xuan ranks. Even the upper echelon of our Ten Directions Tower has taken notice of you."
The burly man wearing a black metal mask strode straight to the table and slammed a black jade pendant onto it with a bang. "I'm turning in a mission and taking a new one. Don't waste my time!"
"Hmph! What a blockhead."
The beautiful woman in red snorted coldly, clearly displeased, but she still took the jade pendant and retrieved a rectangular black jade box. She formed a hand seal, and the box opened. She placed the pendant inside and closed the lid. After casting several more seals, golden light flashed across the box before it returned to normal.
"Mission verification complete. Give me your token. This assassination mission is worth seven thousand contribution points." As she spoke, the woman took Zhang Tie's black token and produced her own red one. When the two tokens touched, white light flashed, and she returned his token.
With another wave of her hand, a jade slip floated between them. "These are the missions suited to your rank. Pick one."
The man grabbed the jade slip and pressed it to his forehead. A few breaths later, he said, "I'll take the one with the highest contribution points."
"This is a group mission, and the contribution points must be divided equally. After all, the assassination target has reached the Half-step True Immortal level. If you want to take this mission, you'll have to wait for three more people."
