After seeing the tasks, Jun Changxiao was speechless.

Helping the villagers of Qingyang Village sweep their courtyards, carrying manure to the vegetable patches, writing letters... Could these Sect Mission offerings be any less thoughtful? Could they have a bit more technical substance?

The system said, "If the host feels the tasks lack difficulty, you may scroll down the task list to refresh them for a new set."

"Does it cost Contribution Points?"

"10 points."

"Forget it then."

Jun Changxiao looked over the list of tasks again, rubbing his chin as he muttered, "It's just sweeping floors and carrying manure; there's absolutely no difficulty to it."

"It's just that..."

"With so many tasks, it would take me a lot of time to do them all alone."

The system reminded him, "Sect Missions are meant for sect disciples. What the host should focus on are the Main Quests, Side Quests, Hidden Quests, and Epic Tasks."

"So that's how it is."

He had his own tasks, and the disciples had theirs; the system's division of labor was quite clear.

Jun Changxiao asked, "The one-star and two-star recommendation ratings at the end—does that mean the rewards are generous once the tasks are completed?"

"Correct."

The system added, "The higher the star rating, the higher the difficulty of completion."

"Understood."

Jun Changxiao slapped the armrest and stood up, stretching his back as he said, "Li Qingyang, have the disciples assemble at the Training Ground. This Seat has missions to distribute."

"Yes."

Li Qingyang received the order, though he wondered to himself, Missions?

On the Training Ground.

All the disciples were lined up neatly.

Xiao Ziji was there too. Not only had he bathed, but he had also changed into the signature uniform of the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect.

This former super genius had his long hair left loose, fluttering slightly behind him. With his chiseled, well-defined features, he could be considered quite a handsome talent.

However, having tasted the coldness of the world for five years, his eyes held a trace of indifference and lethargy, making him seem out of place among the other disciples.

Jun Changxiao knew that his previous words had only temporarily restored his confidence in the martial path; it would take some time for him to fully recover his spirit.

"Sect Leader."

Li Qingyang said, "The disciples are all present."

"Ahem."

Jun Changxiao stood with his hands behind his back at the entrance of the main hall and said, "You have all been in the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect for some time now. This Seat provides your food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as Cultivation Methods. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied!"

The disciples replied in unison.

With food and drink provided, along with powerful Cultivation Methods, they were not only satisfied but deeply content.

Jun Changxiao's expression suddenly turned serious as he said, "However, this Seat cannot keep supporting you forever, can I?"

The disciples were stunned, looking at one another in confusion.

Lu Qianqian said indifferently, "Sect Leader, just say what you have to say."

This woman is still the same as ever!

Jun Changxiao said, "Since you have become members of the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect, you must do your utmost for the development of the sect."

"We are willing to give our all for the sect!" the disciples shouted in unison.

Jun Changxiao nodded and said, "Recently, the villagers of Qingyang Village have encountered some minor troubles. This Seat has decided to send you to help them, so as to spread the prestige of our Iron Bone Unyielding Sect."

"Yes!"

The disciples shouted in unison.

"Li Qingyang."

Jun Changxiao said, "Most of the villagers in Qingyang Village are illiterate. You go and help them write their letters."

"Ah?"

Li Qingyang was dumbfounded.

Coming from a prestigious family, he was certainly literate and knew how to write, but the task the Sect Leader just mentioned was for him to go and write letters for villagers?

"Are you unwilling?"

"I am willing!"

Li Qingyang said hurriedly.

"Ding!" "Sect Mission accepted." "Mission Description: Scholar Zhao of Qingyang Village has caught a cold; the villagers urgently need someone to write letters on his behalf 0/3 days [Incomplete]" "Disciple assigned: Li Qingyang." "Mission Reward: Upon completion, the host will receive 1 Achievement Point and 1 Contribution Point."

"It even rewards Contribution Points?"

Jun Changxiao felt a surge of joy and said, "Qingyang, Scholar Zhao of Qingyang Village has come down with a cold. You go and write letters for the villagers in his place for three days."

"Three days?"

Li Qingyang's mouth twitched.

"Qianqian."

Jun Changxiao said, "Aunt Wang of Qingyang Village has always been kind to This Seat. Go help her clean her courtyard and do some chores."

Li Qingyang felt much more relaxed; the Senior Disciple Sister's task of sweeping and doing chores was even worse than writing letters.

"I don't know how."

Lu Qianqian said with a cold face.

Jun Changxiao said, "If you don't know how, you must learn."

"Can I not go?"

"You must go. This is your mission, and it is also the order of This Seat."

"Fine."

Lu Qianqian compromised.

"Ding!" "Sect Mission accepted." "Mission Description: Aunt Wang of Qingyang Village needs help cleaning her courtyard and tidying up the house 0/5 days [Incomplete]" "Disciple assigned: Lu Qianqian." "Mission Reward: Upon completion, the host will receive 1 Achievement Point and 1 Contribution Point."

Jun Changxiao said, "Just help Aunt Wang with the housework for five days first."

"Five days?"

Lu Qianqian's willow-leaf brows furrowed.

Jun Changxiao swept his gaze over the disciples below and landed on Xiao Ziji, saying, "Ziji, Aunt Sun of Qingyang Village has trouble walking. Go help her carry manure to water the vegetables."

The disciples: "..."

"Understood."

Xiao Ziji agreed.

After the system sent the mission notification, Jun Changxiao said, "Just help Aunt Sun carry it for five days; consider it physical training."

The disciples were speechless once again.

There were many ways to train the body, such as carrying water or firewood, but carrying manure... that was a bit bizarre.

As for the job of carrying manure, any disciple with a decent background wouldn't be able to do it because they would find it dirty and smelly, but Xiao Ziji didn't care and said, "Sect Leader, I understand."

"Su Xia,o."

Jun Changxiao said, "Go help Xiao Dan of Qingyang Village find his lost Little Yellow."

Su Xiaomo was the third disciple recruited after Li Qingyang.

Although he was thin and not very tall, he was clever and agile, so he was definitely the most suitable person to find things.

"Yes!"

Su Xiaomo accepted the order.

After receiving the system prompt, Jun Changxiao added, "Little Yellow is a dog. It has been missing for two days. If you can't find it in the village, you can look in the mountains."

"Yes!"

Sect Leader Jun continued to distribute tasks to the other disciples one after another.

Strangely enough, all the missions on the panel were in Qingyang Village, with only one having a three-star recommendation rating, while the others were all one or two stars.

Not long after.

Jun Changxiao had distributed twenty missions.

He was the only one who kept the three-star recommended mission for himself.

Killing an Earth Flame Wolf should be somewhat difficult, so he planned to finish the simple tasks first before letting his disciples handle that one.

"Clap."

Jun Changxiao clapped his hands and said, "Disciples who have accepted tasks may depart. Those who haven't, continue your cultivation within the sect."

"Yes!"

The disciples replied in unison.

"Xiao Ziji, come to the main hall for a moment."

As the disciples dispersed, Jun Changxiao called out to Xiao Ziji.

The two entered the main hall one after the other.

"Do you have any objections to the task This Seat assigned?" Jun Changxiao asked, sitting on a thousand-year-old nanmu chair.

Xiao Ziji replied, "No objections."

Jun Changxiao rested his chin on his hand and said, "Although the work is a bit dirty, you must remember: when Heaven is about to place a great burden on a person, it first tests their resolve and exhausts their body."

"This disciple will keep it in mind," Xiao Ziji said.

Jun Changxiao tossed the Yi Jin Jing to him and said, "This is our sect's God-grade Cultivation Method. Take it and cultivate. If there is anything you don't understand, you may ask This Seat or consult your senior brothers."

"A God-grade Cultivation Method?" Xiao Ziji caught the Secret Manual, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Remember, this is our sect's exclusive Cultivation Method. You must never leak it to others."

"This disciple understands!"

"Go to Qingyang Village and help Aunt Sun carry manure."

"Yes!"

When Xiao Ziji walked out of the main hall and looked at the Secret Manual with the three characters 'Yi Jin Jing' written on it, he said, unable to remain calm, "Is this really a God-grade Cultivation Method?"

PS, seeking votes, seeking rewards...
