Junior brother, do you know that Dao Seeking Sect is a famous righteous sect?

"Of course, not everything can be considered a task. All three types of tasks above have a prerequisite: upholding the righteous path."

"As it happens, Man Gu has discovered a task suitable for us. It's difficult for him to complete alone, so he called on the two of us."

Man Gu nodded, not saying much, displaying a modest demeanor of a refined gentleman.

"When shall we depart?" Lu Yang asked.

"How about early tomorrow morning?" Meng Jingzhou suggested.

This suited Lu Yang perfectly. He wanted to go to the Task Hall and exchange some things before departing. He felt itchy having contribution points piled up in his hands.

"Iced Gourd, the water inside the gourd will cool down quickly, a refreshing sensation, the perfect choice for those who like to drink ice water, three contribution points."

"Multifunctional Folding Knife, includes ear pick, nail clipper, marker, compass and other functions, a must-have for outdoor travel, ten contribution points."

"Pagoda Dragon Blood Saber, once a magic weapon of a Demonic Dao cultivator, using dragon blood to stimulate its bloodthirst and Pagoda Buddhist teachings to suppress its ferocity. Chopping people and bones is as easy as reaching into a pocket. Now this saber has had its Demonic Dao aura completely eliminated and its ferocity completely suppressed, but the sharpness has been slightly reduced, priced at three hundred contribution points."

"Fragment of Maha Mind Method, a fragment of the mind method left behind after an ascetic monk self-immolated, suspected to be his original mind method. The original version cannot be verified. This fragment can subdue the restless mind and quickly enter meditation, priced at one thousand five hundred contribution points."

Lu Yang looked at several in a row, but none of them suited him, so he asked the senior brother on duty here.

"Senior Brother, this junior is going out for training tomorrow and wants to buy some self-defense equipment. Do you have any recommendations?"

The senior brother was tall and burly, with a face full of horizontal lines, enough to make children stop crying. He looked like the type to be eliminated by chivalrous heroes.

The senior brother glanced at Lu Yang, finding him unfamiliar, and then realized that Lu Yang was a newly recruited junior brother.

Thinking that he could finally be called Senior Brother, his expression softened a little.

How many years has it been? He was finally not at the bottom of the disciples anymore.

"How many contribution points and Spirit Stones do you plan to use?"

"Three hundred contribution points, no Spirit Stones."

"My surname is Li, given name Dan, you can call me Senior Brother Li. You are at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, so the level of things you can use is not high, and the contribution points required will not be too many."

Li Dan seemed to have a fierce face, but he was actually a very enthusiastic man.

Senior Brother Li skillfully scrolled through the exchange list, introducing various protective equipment: "Hundred Battles Heart Mirror, worn on the chest, can withstand a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment Realm peak, only two hundred contribution points."

Just as Lu Yang was considering whether to buy one to save his life, he heard a timid voice say, "Lu, Junior Brother Lu, you don't actually need to buy a heart mirror here. The pancakes in the cafeteria can also withstand a full-force strike from a Foundation Establishment Realm peak, and they're even cheaper than this."

The voice grew smaller and smaller, almost like the flapping of mosquito wings. If Lu Yang wasn't already at the Foundation Establishment Realm with sharp senses, he wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.

"Senior Sister Zhou Lulu?" Lu Yang was surprised, not expecting to meet Senior Sister Zhou Lulu here.

When he first entered Dao Seeking Sect, he spent a month in the Scripture Repository, and would ask Senior Sister Zhou Lulu about anything he didn't understand. After Yun Zhi locked him up on Heavenly Gate Peak for cultivation, he hadn't seen her again. Time had flown by, and a year had already passed.

"Senior Sister." Senior Brother Li Dan was only one class above Lu Yang, so he had to call Zhou Lulu Senior Sister.

"Y-yes, it's me." Zhou Lulu was visibly nervous when she spoke. She had just completed a task and came to exchange for rewards, and happened to meet Lu Yang.

"Y-you, you continue looking, I, I'm just making a small suggestion, no other meaning." Zhou Lulu avoided their gazes, hiding far away, reducing her presence, waiting for Lu Yang to finish exchanging before she exchanged.

Neither of them paid any more attention to Zhou Lulu.

"This is the Mountain Crushing Hammer. When it strikes, it comes with a vibration effect, which can disrupt the opponent's rhythm of setting up formations and drawing talismans. It has a certain restraining effect on Formation Cultivators and Talisman Cultivators, but cultivators proficient in formations and runes have a firm will and remain calm in the face of danger. Even if they encounter interference, they can adjust their rhythm, so the effect of the Mountain Crushing Hammer will be much smaller, two hundred and seventy contribution points."

Lu Yang nodded. This was also a good thing. He might encounter Formation Cultivator and Talisman Cultivator opponents.

Except for cultivators who had been immersed in formations and runes for decades, the Mountain Crushing Hammer could work.

Senior Sister Zhou Lulu muttered softly from the side again: "The fried dough sticks in the cafeteria can have a similar effect."

The two pretended not to hear.

"Senior Brother Li, do you have any small gadgets here that can be used to plot against others?"

Senior Brother Li said sternly: "Junior Brother, do you know that Dao Seeking Sect is a famous and righteous sect?"

"So?"

"This question should be asked quietly."

Lu Yang said oh.

Senior Brother Li pressed the list and swiped down hard. Introductions of various products scrolled rapidly. He found the right opportunity, clicked on the list, and continued to introduce: "This is the Jade Shard Needle, as thin as a cow's hair. After being infused with spiritual energy, it is extremely sharp and can pierce through barriers, but it is difficult to master and requires a lot of practice, and the price is not cheap."

"This is the Mysterious Door Nail. When facing a strong enemy, catch them off guard, grab a handful and throw them at the opponent's seven orifices, achieving unexpected results. It is easy to use and the price is reasonable."

Lu Yang nodded. This thing was really not expensive, it could even be said to be great value for money.

"The rice in the cafeteria is more useful than this." Senior Sister Zhou Lulu reminded from the side.

Senior Brother Li could no longer tolerate Senior Sister Zhou Lulu's muttering. He suddenly turned around, scaring Zhou Lulu.

Zhou Lulu lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Li Dan's face full of horizontal lines. She didn't mean to make trouble, but the things in the cafeteria were really useful. She wanted to recommend them directly to Lu Yang, but she was too embarrassed.

Seeing Zhou Lulu like this, Li Dan also knew that she had no malice, and his tone unconsciously slowed down: "Senior Sister Zhou, I know you are from Hundred Refinements Peak, but you can't harm the new junior brother in order to drum up business for Hundred Refinements Peak!"

"And Junior Brother Lu, think about it, besides being cheap, durable, and versatile, being able to be used as weapons and food, what other benefits do the cafeteria's food have?"

Lu Yang: "……"

Aren't these benefits enough?

Li Dan thought for a moment, and it seemed that the only flaw with the cafeteria food was that its presentation wasn't suitable for combat.

"Why don't you take Junior Brother Lu Yang to the cafeteria, Junior Sister Zhou?"

Zhou Lulu's eyes lit up, and she quickly dragged Lu Yang to the cafeteria.

Lu Yang discovered that Junior Sister Zhou's grip was terrifyingly strong, and he couldn't break free at all. He didn't know what realm Junior Sister Zhou was in.

"Junior Sister Zhou, are you from Hundred Refinements Peak?"

Hundred Refinements Peak, under the Fifth Elder, had the dual functions of Artifact Refining and the cafeteria, and most of the time, these two functions were one and the same.

Zhou Lulu replied, "That's right, I'm a disciple of Hundred Refinements Peak."

"But I've seen you often reading in the Scripture Repository, and the books you read aren't about Artifact Refining?"

Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Shouldn't the disciples of Hundred Refinements Peak be learning Artifact Refining?
