Every morning, they practiced atop the mountain, gathering Eastward Purple Qi. In the hall, they burned incense and recited scriptures; beneath the tree in the courtyard, they drank tea and cultivated their minds. Their days were leisurely and orderly, and the two gradually forgot the troubles of the mortal world.
Jiang Hao drew several talismans and sent them to the Scripture Pavilion for storage. He could now draw all Intermediate Talismans and was studying Advanced Talismans. However, to avoid drawing attention, he did not hand them all in at once. In any case, the real world was peaceful.
That day, after finishing cultivation with Zhou Xinyan, they returned to the small courtyard. Zhou Xinyan went to read scriptures, while Jiang Hao lay in a reclining chair beneath the shade of a tree. He was just about to drift off when a system notification suddenly chimed in his mind.
Jiang Hao was slightly startled. Was there another new mission?
He opened the system panel and saw several prompts displayed there.
"System Notification: A client watched disaster films such as 'The Day After Tomorrow.' Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, fires, plagues, locust swarms, volcanic eruptions, falling meteors, global warming, and all manner of disasters ravaged the world. Humanity considered itself powerful, yet before Heavenly Calamities, it was so insignificant."
"Client Request: Rescue!"
"Mission Description: Saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Collect 1 million Merit Points to complete the mission. There is no upper limit for this mission. Depending on the degree of gratitude, the minimum amount collected is 0.1 points, while the maximum is 1 point."
"Additional Note: I can tell you in advance that the mission reward is Merit Points. We split the Merit Points collected fifty-fifty, so please work hard, Collector."
