Chapter 66 Sect Task
This world isn't like my previous life where cultivators having several Taoist couples is normal, as long as both parties are willing.
Moreover, isn't Second Senior Sister adorable?
Lu Yi silently mumbled to himself in his heart, "May Second Senior Sister fall in love with me."
[Task]
Donggong Ming Yue Senior Sister falling in love with me
Reward: 40% comprehension of Thunder Intent Realm, Golden Core Skill "Thousand Thunder Spell", Mid Grade Treasure Purple Thunder Crown.
Accept: Yes/No
This task reward... Why does it seem much less compared to when I completed Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang's task?
Lu Yi was somewhat surprised, then he remembered that Senior Sister Liu Ningshuang's Cultivation Base was much stronger than Senior Sister Donggong Ming Yue's.
He guessed that this might have a considerable impact.
Lu Yi accepted the task and glanced at it, noticing the task status was incomplete, he felt a tinge of disappointment in his heart.
So Second Senior Sister really hadn't fallen in love with him, huh?
It seemed to be one of the three great delusions in life. It was a good thing he hadn't said it out loud just now, or it would have been quite embarrassing.
Lu Yi no longer dwelled on this matter; even if Second Senior Sister hadn't fallen in love with him, she had been quite good to him, and naturally, he cared for those who cared for him.
He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Senior Sister, if you do this again next time, I will take it that you have fallen in love with me."
Upon hearing this, Donggong Ming Yue's cheeks turned bright red, and she immediately stamped her foot, exclaiming, "Junior Brother, what nonsense are you spouting? I—I certainly haven't fallen in love with you!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Seeing Donggong Ming Yue stomp her foot, Lu Yi smiled and decided not to tease her further. He took out a Lv6 Tiger Bone Spirit Ginseng Soup and a Lv4 Concentrating Spirit Soup, handing them to Donggong Ming Yue with a smile, "Senior Sister, I was just joking. Here are some Spirit Food and Spiritual Wine for you to focus on breaking through the Heavenly Tao Limitation."
Donggong Ming Yue glared at Lu Yi with annoyance, then nodded slightly and accepted the Spiritual Wine and Spirit Food.
Looking at Lu Yi, she patted her chest vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, with my talent, I'll definitely break through! No problem at all."
Lu Yi nodded with a cheerful reply, "Second Senior Sister is the best."
Donggong Ming Yue smiled happily, "Then Senior Sister will head back first. You must cultivate well too!"
With that, Donggong Ming Yue turned into a streak of light and vanished from sight.
Watching the direction in which Donggong Ming Yue disappeared, Lu Yi shook his head slightly, feeling a bit helpless. He wondered how long Second Senior Sister would be in seclusion?
It seemed that there would be no practice tasks for a while.
The Centennial Spiritual Dew he had won from sparring with Senior Brother Jiang Fan a while back had already been used up. The Centennial Spiritual Dew he used for cultivation lately came partly from the monthly rewards of the Trial Tower; indeed, after testing by Lu Yi, the Trial Tower tasks could be refreshed once a month, serving as a stable source of Spirit Milk.
Besides, there were the daily sparring rewards from Second Senior Sister.
But after breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, he needed even more resources. It was doubtful that just the Centennial Spiritual Dew rewarded by the Trial Tower would be sufficient, and he didn't know how long his remaining supply would last.
It seemed he needed to consider finding another Senior Brother or Senior Sister to spar with soon.
While Lu Yi was pondering, he suddenly sensed two presences rapidly approaching.
He turned to look and saw two figures emerge from the forest, landing in front of him.
Seeing the two, Lu Yi was startled, then somewhat surprised he said, "Senior Brother Jiang Fan, Senior Brother Bai Yulong? What brings you two here to find me?"
In the past five months, Lu Yi would occasionally join Jiang Fan and others to socialize as a break from his intense cultivation.
However, they would not normally come to Ling Luo Peak to disturb Lu Yi's cultivation, and they too needed to practice.
Jiang Fan smiled lightly and said, "Of course, it's for a reason. Junior Brother Lu Yi, have you completed your sect tasks for the year?"
Bai Yulong, gently waving his folding fan, added with a smile, "It's already the end of the year, and both of us haven't completed our sect tasks yet. We thought of doing them together and then considered you might not have done yours either, so we came to find you."
Hearing this, Lu Yi realized, "It's the end of the year already?"
Lu Yi usually didn't leave the sect; even when he was in the Outer Sect, he would only go out for sect tasks.
This year's sect task, of course, Lu Yi hadn't done either, since he wasn't short on resources and didn't need to complete sect tasks to obtain them.
Likewise, after joining Waterfall Peak, it was said that Jiang Fan was deeply favored by a Nascent Soul Elder, with intentions to take him as a direct disciple, so he likewise didn't lack resources for the Qi Cultivation Realm.
With a Golden Core Realm great-grandfather, Bai Yulong also didn't need to hustle for resources in the Qi Cultivation Realm.
All three were the same, none had done any sect tasks this year.
Lu Yi said with a smile, "Since that's the case, let's go do it."
Right after his second senior sister went into seclusion, he was thinking about how to acquire more resources. It would be perfect to check out the sect tasks and see what rewards were available.
"That would be best, with the three of us together, there's also someone to watch our backs," Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Bai Yulong said with a smile, "Indeed, let's head to the Affairs Hall and take a look."
Talking, the three of them descended the mountain.
When Lu Yi and the others were brought into the Inner Sect by Dugu Fang, they went to the Affairs Hall for registration. This was their second time here.
As soon as they arrived at the square of the Affairs Hall, many cultivators looked over.
Various senior brothers and sisters greeted them with smiles.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Lu Yi."
"Junior Brother Lu Yi, what a coincidence, you've also come to the Affairs Hall today?"
"Is Junior Brother Lu Yi here to accept a sect task?"
"..."
Facing the enthusiastic greetings of fellow sect senior brothers and sisters, Lu Yi responded with a smile to each.
Over these few months, Lu Yi had been ranked first on the Qi Cultivation Trial List of the Trial Tower, and now, even the elders recognized him throughout the Inner Sect.
Lu Yi effectively accomplished the feat of making a name for himself within the sect.
Having just entered, Bai Yulong exclaimed, "Junior Brother Lu Yi is really making a name for himself in our White Cloud Sect now, I'm so envious."
Jiang Fan laughed, "Given Junior Brother Lu's talent, stop dreaming."
Jiang Fan had once thought about advising Lu Yi to keep a low profile and save some trump cards for himself, but when Lu Yi told him he hadn't gone all out climbing the Trial Tower, Jiang Fan was at a loss for words.
What's there to say to a monster like him?
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's comment, Bai Yulong's expression stiffened, and he glared at Jiang Fan, "You really have a way of saying unpleasant things!"
The three of them joked and laughed as they arrived at the Task Department.
This place was a huge hall; many Inner Sect Disciples were coming and going, accepting tasks.
Generally speaking, disciples without resources could only earn them by accepting and completing tasks, unlike Lu Yi and his friends who only came to accept the routine annual sect task at the end of the year.
In the hall, there was a row of counters where tasks were accepted and processed.
Lu Yi and the others picked a counter with fewer people and queued up; it wasn't long before it was their turn.
Behind the counter was a middle-aged cultivator; he glanced at Lu Yi and the others and quickly focused his attention on Lu Yi.
He was somewhat surprised, "Is that Junior Brother Lu Yi?"
Lu Yi smiled, "I've seen elder brother."
The middle-aged cultivator immediately responded with enthusiasm, "Junior Brother Lu, are you here for a task? Any particular requests? Your brother here will carefully look for you."
Bai Yulong and Jiang Fan exchanged looks, both corners of their mouths twitching.
Who else would receive such enthusiastic service when accepting a task?
