Chapter 895: Chapter 895: Mission Hall
Zhu Fei’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
He didn’t expect that just after moving here, and before even spreading the news much, people already knew his whereabouts.
Initially, this situation made Zhu Fei feel a bit cautious, but on second thought, he felt somewhat relieved.
If he guessed correctly, the news about the location of his stall’s cave dwelling was secretly spread by Pang Yuan before.
After all, it’s business. Since the decision to reopen has been made, there’s no reason not to let others know.
Zhu Fei understood this point as well, but Pang Yuan’s action of casually spreading his information without notifying him still made Zhu Fei decide to have a good talk with that chubby fellow.
Just as these thoughts crossed Zhu Fei’s mind, Tianxing Venerable happened to arrive in front of Zhu Fei from a nearby passage.
The two exchanged a glance, said nothing, shared a smile, and then walked together outside the stall’s cave dwelling.
...
For the next three days, Zhu Fei and Tianxing Venerable were mostly busy.
Zhu Fei was responsible for carrying out alchemy for others, earning Immortal Crystals and leftover pill products.
Meanwhile, Tianxing Venerable helped with registration for visitors and prepared for Zhu Fei’s impending opening of the Yue Dan Pill Shop.
Within just three days, Zhu Fei earned nearly two hundred thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals merely from alchemy fees.
As for the leftover pills after helping others with alchemy, they were countless. A rough estimate would be nearly a thousand.
However, these were not Zhu Fei’s biggest gains. Besides establishing connections with many Cultivators, his biggest gain was advancing several levels in his Alchemy Cultivation.
Believing that it wouldn’t take long, he assessed that with the foundation he’d built on the path of Alchemy Dao, he should soon ascend to the rank of a Second Grade Immortal Alchemist.
By that time, even though he currently had no Contribution Points and only held a black identity jade, it was expected that Peace Square would actively upgrade his identity and send him a silver or higher Identity Jade.
At this moment, sitting in his own room, Immortal Crystals disappeared one by one from his palm.
For three consecutive months, apart from a few limited instances of alchemy each day, Zhu Fei was constantly converting Immortal Essence.
Zhu Fei understood clearly that in this harsh world, alchemy could only bring temporary stability, but true establishment required a foundation of personal strength.
...
"Congratulations to Fellow Zhu Fei on successfully converting Immortal Essence and achieving the Realm of True Immortal."
That day, after welcoming a customer, Tianxing Venerable turned around to see Zhu Fei emerging from his room, a faint smile appearing on her face.
From her time with Zhu Fei, Tianxing Venerable immediately sensed the change in him as soon as he appeared.
His aura was solid and stable, surrounded by a gentle Immortal Dao rhythm, unmistakably the standard manifestation of a True Immortal.
"Hehe, Fellow Tianxing, you’re too polite. From now on, just call me by my name, no need to use ’Fellow’."
Zhu Fei shook his head with a smile and said this first, then continued, "By the way, Fellow Tianxing, I’m planning to go check out the Mission Hall later. Would you like to join me?"
"The Mission Hall? Do you mean...?"
"Yes, I want to check it out first, and if there’s anything suitable, I wouldn’t mind taking on a task."
Before Tianxing Venerable could finish speaking, Zhu Fei nodded with a smile.
For over three months prior, Zhu Fei had been busy with alchemy or converting Immortal Essence, never having time to visit the Mission Hall and assess the real situation.
And in fact, with his cultivation at that time, it wasn’t particularly suitable to go to such places like the Mission Hall.
But things were different now. Zhu Fei’s Pill Shop had largely been secured, and his own cultivation advanced greatly during this time, having fully converted Immortal Essence and reached the True Immortal Middle Stage Realm.
With these advancements, Zhu Fei could no longer sit idly by.
He knew that while Peace Square was good, it wasn’t where he wished to stay long-term.
Without quickly familiarizing himself with the general situation in the Immortal Realm and honing himself, it would not benefit him in the future at all.
Hence, as soon as Zhu Fei’s cultivation progressed, he intended to take a task to practice himself.
"Zhu Fei, since you don’t want me to call you ’Fellow’, then you shouldn’t need to be so formal with me in return, right?"
Tianxing Venerable said with a bit of playful annoyance, then continued, "My real name is Chen Tianxing. If you don’t mind, just call me Tianxing from now on."
Pausing slightly, Chen Tianxing then furrowed her delicate brows and said hesitantly:
"Zhu Fei, with your current strength, it’s not that you can’t take on a task, but you must be aware we’ve been a bit noticeable recently. I’m concerned..."
"Hmm, you mean that once we leave here, someone might target us?"
A gleam of gold flashed through Zhu Fei’s eyes, and he smiled again.
"Tianxing, don’t worry. If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t take the risk lightly. Just tell me now, do you plan to stay here, or come along with me?"
"Hehe, since you’re not afraid, then there’s nothing for me to fret about, right? At the worst, if the mission fails, we can just run back to this market."
Chen Tianxing shot Zhu Fei a playful look, saying with some mock irritation.
"Alright, then let’s not delay. Let’s go now."
Zhu Fei nodded, and together with Chen Tianxing, they closed up the stall’s cave dwelling and headed toward the Mission Hall.
Arriving at the Mission Hall, Zhu Fei was dazzled by the various light projections all around.
Everywhere he looked was densely packed with task information and general details of the tasks.
For example:
Go to Sky Vault Mountain southwest of Chaotic City and collect a hundred Fire Essence Grass, reward of fifty Contribution Points.
Kill twenty human-faced centipedes and collect twenty venom sacs from them, reward of one hundred and twenty Contribution Points.
Search for the lost Purple Dark Bracelet, reward of two hundred and thirty Contribution Points.
Additionally, there were notices for finding people, hiring guards, and even bizarre tasks like seeking a partner for ’fun’.
In short, the tasks in this Mission Hall were incredibly diverse; if you could imagine it, you could find it.
Based on Zhu Fei’s prior understanding, the tasks in this Mission Hall included those officially released by the market, as well as many issued by individuals.
Of course, the Contribution Points for individual tasks had to be provided by the individual.
For these reasons, the number of tasks in the entire Mission Hall was extraordinarily vast.
Zhu Fei and Chen Tianxing spent some time browsing before a sweet-looking female attendant finally approached them with a smile.
