[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [If you want to know about the auction, just ask Brother Li and the others when they get back. If you're really that curious, you can participate yourself the next time the Myriad Worlds Mall Alliance holds an auction.]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [I remember the Myriad Worlds Mall Alliance holds an auction every ten thousand years. For now, let's focus on how to earn Origin Points. Otherwise, even if we attend the auction, we'll just be watching.]

[Global High Martial Arts] Li Jing · Third Order: [I actually really hope the Chat Group releases a mission soon. After all, with our current strength, there's only one way to obtain Origin Points: completing missions released by the Chat Group. It's a shame I wasn't in the group during the first two missions.]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [I think you're overthinking it. I was in the group when the Chat Group released the second mission, but I didn't dare to accept it. Without Third Order strength, taking on a mission is suicide! Even for Third Order cultivators, the chance of death is high. I won't consider taking missions unless I break through to Fourth Order.]

[Global High Martial Arts] Li Jing · Third Order: [It can't be as exaggerated as you say! Didn't Li Shanhe and Liu Shanshan accept missions and return safely from the mission worlds? If they can do it, why can't we?]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [Setting aside their higher cultivation realms, let's talk about their identities. One is a disciple of Hong Meng. Do you think someone with that identity would lack treasures? As for Sister Shanshan's identity, you might not know, but in the Tomb of Gods World, her surname is Du Gu. You can figure it out yourself!]

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Third Order: [So, you're saying that every time the Chat Group releases a mission, we get Origin Point rewards upon completion? The first two missions released by the Chat Group were completed by Li Shanhe and Liu Shanshan?]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [Why do you think Brother Li's cultivation realm improved so quickly? He's almost Sixth Order now, and the Chat Group was only created three hundred years ago. It's because Brother Li participated in the first two missions and received Origin Point rewards. It's with those Origin Points that he could advance so rapidly. Otherwise, even if he became Hong Meng's disciple, his breakthrough speed wouldn't be this astonishing.]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [However, you're mistaken about one thing. The first mission released by the Chat Group was completed by Brother Li alone. At that time, Brother Li's cultivation was still low, and he had to ask the Hong Meng expert for several treasures. He completed the mission after a near-death experience. The second mission was completed by Brother Li and Sister Shanshan together.]

Yue Ming finally understood. No wonder Li Shanhe and Liu Shanshan had the highest levels in the Chat Group. He had always thought it was because they joined earlier.

Now it seemed he was wrong. Even if they joined a bit earlier, they couldn't have pulled so far ahead of everyone else. It turned out they had completed two missions.

Everyone knew Li Shanhe was a disciple of the Hong Meng expert in the A Realm of Gods world. With a backer like Hong Meng, he naturally wouldn't lack treasures.

But now it seemed Liu Shanshan's identity was also not bad. Her surname was Du Gu in the Tomb of Gods World? Besides being related to that forbidden great god, there was no other explanation. Such an identity would also not lack treasures.

After all, as Liu Ming said, even Third Order cultivators could perish in mission worlds. That meant they would need at least Fourth Order treasures, or even Fifth Order treasures, to protect themselves.

The Chat Group Mall wasn't short on treasures, but Fourth Order treasures started at 10 trillion, and Fifth Order treasures were even more outrageous, starting at 100 trillion. None of them could afford them right now.

[The Smiling, Proud Wanderer] Dongfang Bubai · First Order: [I didn't expect mission worlds to be so dangerous. But I'm only First Order right now. If I accept a mission, won't I easily die in the mission world? After all, according to the great gods, even Third Order cultivators have a high chance of perishing. What's the difference between going there and seeking death?]

[A Mortal's Cultivation Journey] Liu Ming · Second Order: [Mission worlds are definitely very dangerous. Of course, you don't have to take missions, but do you have any other options now? So, you can only choose to take a gamble and see if any kindhearted group members will look out for you. Otherwise, with your First Order strength, unless you have heavenly luck, you're as good as dead!]

Dongfang Bubai's expression was grim. He had originally planned to participate in a mission and then, during an offline meeting, use his sob story to gain some benefits from other group members. But after hearing Liu Ming's words, how could he dare to accept a mission and entrust his safety to the kindness of others? Just thinking about it felt unreliable.

But if he didn't accept the mission, he wouldn't be able to meet other group members offline. He might never break through to Second Order and would eventually die of old age in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer world. For a moment, Dongfang Bubai felt his future was bleak, as if heaven was giving him no way out.

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Third Order: [Do any of you know how many Origin Point rewards Li Shanhe and Liu Shanshan received after completing their missions? Since taking missions is so dangerous, the rewards should be substantial, right?]

[Global High Martial Arts] Li Jing · Third Order: [Since the Chat Group was created, it has released a total of two missions, both of which were beginner missions. We don't know exactly how many Origin Points Li Shanhe and the others received, as they wouldn't tell us such things. But I know the rewards for beginner missions generally don't exceed 0.3 Origin Points. The Chat Group distributes Origin Points based on contribution upon mission completion.]

[Global High Martial Arts] Li Jing · Third Order: [Don't think 0.3 Origin Points is a small amount. A small thousand world contains Origin equivalent to 1 Origin Point. Origin Points are just our Chat Group's name for them; in the Myriad Worlds, they are called Origin Coins. They are not just currency but can also be used for cultivation. Absorbing 1 Origin Coin is equivalent to refining the Origin of a small thousand world, and the benefits are unimaginable!]

[Swallowed Star] Yue Ming · Third Order: [Going by what you're saying, Origin Coins are similar to the Universal Coins in the Swallowed Star world. They are both a currency and an energy crystal that can be directly refined and absorbed to increase strength. However, in essence, one is an energy crystal and the other is an Origin crystal, and their value differs greatly.]

Thinking about obtaining Origin Point rewards by completing missions, Yue Ming couldn't say he wasn't tempted. Unfortunately, the Chat Group's mission releases had no pattern. A mission could be released at any moment, or it could take decades, even centuries.

Furthermore, his current strength was still too low. He had just broken through to Third Order and was at the lower end of the Third Order. His thoughts were similar to Liu Ming's; he felt it was too risky to take on missions at the Third Order. He would at least wait until he broke through to Fourth Order before considering missions.
