Task Hall

Since then, Lu Yang's life had been quite fulfilling. In the early morning, he would sit on the mountain peak, his five hearts facing the sky, bathing in the morning light. In the morning, he would hone his swordsmanship, nurturing his sword with his heart. At noon, he would lie in a tree, dozing for an hour or two, and in the afternoon, he would be full of energy, fighting with puppets, getting beaten by puppets. After dinner, he would read late into the night, completing the homework that Senior Disciple Sister had assigned him.

A year passed in this way, and Lu Yang's cultivation steadily increased.

"Look, isn't that Sect Master's fourth disciple, Lu Yang of the Sword Spirit Root?"

Inside the Task Hall, Lu Yang was dressed in white robes, his eyes bright and piercing. The hilt of the sword at his waist was tied with a red tassel, which was particularly eye-catching.

Anyone who saw him would praise him as a talented young man.

Most of the Dao Seeking Sect disciples knew each other, especially in a place like the Task Hall. When they encountered someone uncommon, they would always say a few more words, just for the novelty.

Lu Yang, as the first place in the entry trial, possessing a Sword Spirit Root, provoking the good-tempered River Spirit and Dai Bufan, becoming a disciple of the Sect Master, and receiving personal guidance from Senior Disciple Sister, all these reasons combined made him shine brightly among the new disciples, and his reputation was extremely high.

Even Tao Yaoye, with her celestial beauty, was not as famous as Lu Yang.

"That Lu Yang who is personally cultivated by Senior Disciple Sister? Hey, it really is."

"I heard that he entered the sect a year ago and just became a Foundation Establishment cultivator a few days ago."

"Foundation Establishment already? No wonder he came to the Task Hall. It seems he wants to take on a task to train himself."

Lu Yang was already used to the gazes around him, as if he were a rare animal.

The senior brothers were right. Seven days ago, he had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment, and it took him another seven days to consolidate it before he officially came out of seclusion, following Senior Disciple Sister's instructions to come out and walk around more.

In the Task Hall, Lu Yang saw all kinds of tasks, which amazed him. From slaying Body Integration old demons from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea to helping find cats and dogs, there was everything.

For example, Lu Yang was currently looking at a task that required a Dual Cultivation Method, a legitimate one.

Dual Cultivation Methods are divided into two types: legitimate and illegitimate. There is no need to say much about legitimate Dual Cultivation Methods, which are nothing more than men and women helping each other, harmonizing Yin and Yang, and the like.

There is even less need to say about illegitimate Dual Cultivation Methods.

The person who posted the task was a Fox Demon registered in the Dao Seeking Sect.

Although the duties of the Dao Seeking Sect include subduing demons and eliminating evil, it does not kill every demon indiscriminately. For demons with a clean identity and no intention of harming others, the Dao Seeking Sect will not subdue them. On the contrary, it will register such demons and grant them legal status.

This Fox Demon was one such case.

The Fox Demon's name was Su Yan, an ordinary little fox living in the deep mountains and old forests. While playing, she was caught in a trap set by a hunter in the mountains. Fortunately, a disciple from a noble family was playing in the mountains and rescued Su Yan, successfully making the hunter's day a waste.

Later, Su Yan ate a Shapeshifting Fruit in a secret mountain cave, activating the Bloodline hidden in her body and becoming a Fox Demon.

Su Yan was grateful and transformed into a human form to repay the noble family disciple.

At this time, the noble family disciple was already the current head of the family, and he had seen countless women, but none of them could compare to Su Yan in beauty.

The two married as a matter of course.

Then the problem came.

Fox Demons naturally possess a Charm Body and uncontrollably absorb Yang Energy. When the couple engaged in sexual activity, the husband was always the one whose Yang Energy was being absorbed.

Fortunately, Yang Energy can be restored, so it was not fatal, just reduce the frequency of sexual activity.

The two were newly married, and they had to limit their sexual activity, which no one would want.

If the frequency was high, the husband would become increasingly haggard, which could easily lead to gossip.

For this reason, Su Yan hoped to cultivate a legitimate Dual Cultivation Method to control her Charm Body.

This task had been posted for a long time, and no one had taken it.

It was not that Dual Cultivation Methods were so rare, but whoever completed the task would mean that they possessed a legitimate Dual Cultivation Method. If they had a legitimate one, people would inevitably wonder if they had an illegitimate Dual Cultivation Method.

If fellow disciples asked you for an illegitimate Dual Cultivation Method, would you say you had one or not, would you give it or not?

What would the senior and junior sisters think of you?

"This task is good, I'll take it."

Someone said from behind Lu Yang. From the sound of his voice, he knew it was Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou was the most suitable person to take on this task. With the status of the Meng family, he would certainly not lack Dual Cultivation Methods, and with his Pure Yang Spirit Root, he certainly would not have any illegitimate Dual Cultivation Methods.

Even if Meng Jingzhou had an illegitimate Dual Cultivation Method, he would only be able to stare blankly.

Meng Jingzhou had achieved Foundation Establishment earlier than Lu Yang, and this was the third task he had taken.

"You've achieved Foundation Establishment too?" Meng Jingzhou said with a smile. Both of them had mutated Single Spirit Roots, and their cultivation talents were not much different. It was somewhat unexpected that Lu Yang had achieved Foundation Establishment later than him.

Thinking of his experience of being tortured by Senior Disciple Sister this year, Lu Yang sighed, "I finally achieved Foundation Establishment."

"When we complete our tasks, let's have a good meal, my treat." Meng Jingzhou said, taking on all the responsibility. He had plenty of Spirit Stones.

After Meng Jingzhou left, Lu Yang continued to browse the tasks posted on the wall.

"Traces of demonic sacrifices suspected to have appeared in the north, it is recommended that Golden Core Stage and above cultivators go to investigate, the task reward is 400 contribution points, and additional rewards will be added if additional information is found."

"Taoist Li Hong of Shanhai Pass has lost a pet, and someone needs to be sent to find it."

Lu Yang paused, thinking that this task was good. There was no danger in finding small cats and dogs. Then he looked further.

"Lost pet: a Two-Winged Fierce Tiger with a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation. Finding it will reward 5,000 contribution points."

Lu Yang shrank his neck. A Nascent Soul stage demon beast, and a Two-Winged Fierce Tiger with ancient Bloodline, the origin of the phrase "adding wings to a tiger." He didn't even qualify to be its toothpick. Next, next.

"Kunwu Mountain has unusual spiritual energy fluctuations during the transition between day and night, suspected to be an undiscovered Grotto-Heaven. Investigation is required, and it is recommended that Nascent Soul Stage cultivators and above go. The task reward is eight thousand contribution points, and if the Grotto-Heaven is valuable, additional rewards will be added."

Another task that Lu Yang had nothing to do with.

In the outside world, someone in the Qi Refining Realm could travel the world and be called an expert. A Foundation Establishment cultivator could dominate and become an ancestor in a small place, enjoying a hundred years of fortune. A Golden Core Stage cultivator would dare to call himself a True Man and establish a sect.

But in the Dao Seeking Sect, any random passerby was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and throwing a brick would hit a whole bunch of them... With the cultivation of ordinary disciples, they would throw the brick back.

The Dao Seeking Sect disciples were all elites chosen from thousands. Before Lu Yang's generation of newly recruited disciples appeared, the Dao Seeking Sect didn't even have Qi Refining Realm or Foundation Establishment cultivators. The lowest cultivation level of the disciples was the Golden Core Stage.

No matter how successful you were in the outside world, you had to behave yourself when you returned to the Dao Seeking Sect.

Therefore, there weren't many tasks suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Lu Yang looked at several in a row, and they all required Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

He also noticed a special task.

"Long-term task: Collect Cultivation Methods not yet recorded by the Dao Seeking Sect. The reward will be determined based on the content of the Cultivation Method."

"Additionally: Please Yun Zhi Senior Sister do not accept this task. The Yun Zhi Zone has been opened in the Scripture Repository. Yun Zhi Senior Sister can directly place the Cultivation Methods she has written in this area."

I will try to maintain one update each at 9 PM and 10 PM.
