Chapter 569 - 569 Accepting faction missions
A few minutes later, Liu Mei and the rest had also finished handing in their missions and obtained their sect points, before they went and gathered around Shun Long.
With a curious look in his eyes, Bai Longtian looked at Shun Long and asked in a slightly eager tone
''Are we going to choose faction missions now?''
Everyone turned their eyes towards Shun Long who nodded his head and said
''Let's take a look at the missions on the 'Mission board' first.''
With Liu Mei, and the rest all following after him, Shun Long made his way towards the enormous blackboard at the depths of the Assignment Hall where all the missions of the sect were posted.
Skipping the personal D-rank missions, Shun Long's eyes went directly for the faction missions.
''D-rank faction mission: Kill the infamous bandit Lu Yong and eradicate his group that has killed and r.a.p.ed countless men and women. Since this is a faction mission and the bandit leader's cultivation has reached the middle of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul, a faction with at least 10 middle-stage Nascent Soul outer disciples are recommended to take on this mission.
Reward: 850 sect points''
''D-rank faction mission: Infiltrate the mansion of the city lord of Vast Ocean city and find out if the rumors of him abducting mortal girls and keeping them imprisoned in his home are true. Since the city lord's cultivation has reached the early stages of the Dao King realm, extreme caution is required.
Reward: 900 sect points''
''D-rank faction mission: Hunt down a middle rank 5 'Poison-tongued Toad' from the 'Giant crane Forest' 3000 miles away from the Holy city, and bring back its magic beast core.
Reward: 7000 sect points''
After a quick look, Shun Long actually noticed that there were plenty of D-rank faction missions suitable for him and Liu Mei and the rest to accept, and most of them could even be completed by a single person.
At the same time, Shun Long even noticed that there were some D-rank faction missions that gave as many sect points as some C-rank ones, like those missions that required the disciples to hunt down middle rank 5 magic beasts like the middle rank 5 'Poison-tongued Toad'.
Normally, the beast cores of middle rank 5 magic beasts would be sold for 5000 sect points in the Golden Treasures Hall, but beast cores from specific magic beasts could fetch much higher prices, even reaching double the original price.
Turning his head to look at Jiang Chen and the rest, Shun Long then said
''I was originally planning for us to take on the D-rank faction missions together, but it seems that there is no need for that.
With everyone's current strength, each of us is able to take on a single faction mission alone.''
Although Shun Long knew that something like this wouldn't be easy even for geniuses like them, he knew that they could only push themselves if they wanted to reach the peak of strength in the Holy sect.
After all, even though they were all geniuses who weren't inferior to anyone else in the sect and they could even be compared to some of the strongest geniuses of the outer court in terms of talent, it's not like the other outer disciples would simply wait while they themselves get stronger.
Jiang Chen and the rest had serious looks on their faces when they heard Shun Long's words, but they still nodded their heads in response.
Since every one of them had chosen to follow Shun Long, they had already decided that they would follow him regardless of what they had to do or if they had to put themselves in danger.
Even though they all knew that Shun Long was a monster who couldn't be judged using common sense, none of them wanted to be left too far behind him.
If they could breach the gap between them taking on these risks, then every one of them would immediately do so.
Without saying a word, each of them looked at the faction missions on the wall as they started to ponder over which one they would choose.
Finally, 20 minutes later, Bai Longtian was the last one to finish choosing a faction mission as he turned his eyes towards Shun Long.
Seeing that everyone else was ready, Shun Long walked to the Mission counter to register their missions.
Half an hour later, when his turn finally arrived, Shun Long looked at the young man behind the mission counter and registered the 2 missions that he wanted to accept.
''D-rank faction mission: Hunt down a middle rank 5 'Poison-tongued Toad' from the 'Giant crane Forest' 3000 miles away from the Holy city, and bring back its magic beast core.
Reward: 7000 sect points''
The young man was slightly surprised when he saw the contents of the first mission, reading it one more time to make sure that he wasn't mistaken, before he once again looked at Shun Long in confusion.
''I wonder which faction actually took this guy in with such a low cultivation base.''
Even though the young man was surprised by Shun Long's first mission, he still nodded his head before turning his attention towards the second one.
The moment that he read the second mission's description however, his eyes instantly widened, as he immediately turned to look at Shun Long with an incredulous look
''C-rank faction mission: Travel to Tang city of the 'Blue star continent' in the Northern region and infiltrate the royal palace of the Tang dynasty to assassinate the crown prince. This mission requires extreme caution as there is at least one early-stage Dao King who is protecting the crown prince in secret at all times.
Reward: 10.000 sect points''
