Chapter 87: Join the sect
The journey had come to an end, as the ship landed in the port of Maple Leaf City
Zhang Yong quietly got off the ship and behind him he heard a voice, "Wait!"
Zhang Yong slowly turned around and looked at the boy he fought with yesterday, "Ah, it's you."
The boy stood in front of Zhang Yong and extended his hand to him, "I didn't introduce myself well, I'm Su Ming."
Zhang Yong smiled and also extended his hand and shook it, "You can call me Zhang Yong."
Su Ming looked at Zhang Yong with a complicated expression, obviously curious, "If I may ask, are you also heading to the Purple Star Sect?"
Zhang Yong nodded, "Indeed, I'm going there."
Su Ming's eyes widened slightly, "That's good, how about we go there together, I'll join too."
The two of them started walking towards the sect's location, through Maple Leaf City. Zhang Yong couldn't help but notice the looks of many around him, "What's up with all these looks?"
Su Ming turned to Zhang Yong for a moment and laughed lightly, "You really don't know, I think it's because of your face."
Zhang Yong sighed softly, "Man, I don't want too much attention, let's go quickly."
The two of them immediately accelerated their steps, until they had left Maple City towards a mountain road until they reached a place with a staircase built of marble. If someone looked up, he would notice the long distance that had to be covered.
The Purple Star Sect was built on a mountain with a diameter of a thousand kilometers. Without adding the surrounding mountains, it was a large mountain range, and had a stunning landscape. Even without spiritual energy in his body, Zhang Yong felt that the reason the sect was built here was because he had... An extremely pure aura, beneficial to those who were cultivating, as that aura doubled their cultivation speed
Upon reaching the end of the road, the two noticed a table at the entrance behind which sat two young men. Calmly, Zhang Yong and Su Ming stood up and bowed slightly with their hands in front of their chests. Su Ming spoke first, "Senior brothers, we are new disciples of the sect and this is our symbol." The two extended their hands and presented the badges to the two young men
One of the two young men took the badges and made sure that they were not fake by infusing spiritual energy into them. If they lit up, they were real, and if they did not, they were fake. The two badges lit up together and the matter was confirmed. One of the two young men immediately stood up with a smile on his face and responded to the greeting, "Hello." Young brothers, the badges have been confirmed to be safe. You can enter and go to the registration area." The young man pointed to the road
Zhang Yong and Su Ming walked together towards the inside of the sect
Zhang Yong couldn't help but be impressed by the sect, even if it was just this outer courtyard, it was extremely large and expansive, perhaps as big as the Heaven Dou Academy or perhaps even surpassing it.
Surrounded by the stares of every passerby, this was particularly uncomfortable
They finally arrived at the outer arena, or what is known as the outer sect, which was the place where the outer disciples lived and lived on their own.
The rows of black wood houses were arranged neatly, and looked simple and comfortable
What caught the two's attention was the presence of a small three-story building with "Registration Hall" written in bold letters, so this must be the intended place.
The two entered and the place was one hall, where there was a very old man, holding a writing brush in his hand behind a table.
The sheikh did not look up and asked, "Give your name and age."
Without hesitation, the two answered
"Su Ming, I am fifteen years old."
"Zhang Yong is fifteen as well."
As the elder moved the brush on two plates, Zhang Yong felt something emanating from the feather. It looked elegant and regular, without error or extra effort. The movement was like saying it was perfect.
Sheikh Rushd's voice repeated Chang Yong for a moment, as he threw down two wooden boards, with their names written on each board, then threw two red bags towards them, "Take this, all the information is inside the badge, don't you both lose it."
The two bowed, thanked the Sheikh, and left the place
(The task was completed successfully
got
20,000 experience points
12,000 sentiment points
I got a merge card)
Zhang Yong smiled in his heart, 'I'll ask about this card later.'
On the way, Zhang Yong couldn't help but be amazed by the panels, they carried calm, pure energy
When he brought it to his forehead, what was more like a map was printed inside it, where the residence he had been assigned was marked, as well as the sect's rules.
There were halls in the sect, the Quest Hall, where quests were put on hold and the quest was rewarded with merit points, and those points could be used to purchase pills, weapons, and skills.
The second hall is the Battle Hall, which itself is divided into two, the Classification Battle Hall and the Life and Death Battle Hall, while the second is clear and occurs in the event of disputes. The first is when he joins the fight, he obtains a rank in the outer sect, while the participants receive merit points for each. A month, and the higher the ranking, the more points the person gets, but it is not possible to challenge more than one person per week, and thus earning points depends more on the tasks, and the ranking will not give a lot of points. For example, the person who is ranked 100 on the list will receive in each month a Ten points, while someone ranked first gets a thousand points. This may not seem like a lot, but that gap has been closed with pills. When he takes rank one hundred points, he will only get points. As for rank one, he can get sixteen Qi Gathering Pills, and so on.
Then there is the Hall of Skills, which is a tower consisting of seven floors, and the higher the floor, the stronger the techniques within it, then the Hall of Punishment, which is responsible for enacting and implementing laws in the sect, but all of these are considered external facilities, and are led by the external elders and the internal elders. They reside in the Five Peaks, where there are four inner elders. As for what was inside the red bags, it was the sect's uniform, but according to the rules, there was no rule that forced a person to wear it.
With the absorption of this amount of information and laws, Su Ming directly asked, "How about we go to the Task Hall now?"
Zhang Yong nodded, "Okay, let's go."
After that, the two of them left for the task hall, which was a two-story building. Upon entering, the person could see an office desk directly in front of him, and on the right there was a large wall. On the wall, more than fifty tasks were posted. The two took a peek. It was... There are monster hunting missions, herb collecting missions, and missions to kill wanted humans
According to the rules of the sect, once you take a task, you cannot take another task unless you complete the first, and if you fail the task, points will be deducted from the person's account.
But there was something that attracted Zhang Yong, it was the points on the missions, so far the highest mission on the board had a score of one hundred merit points, and the others were as well or less.
"Let's just choose a suitable mission," Su Ming advised sternly. "We are still new, and we must start well. There is no need to take any risks."
As if Su Ming had read Zhang Yong's mind, Zhang Yong's eyes were roaming the wall, he immediately raised his finger, "Let's take that mission, points are good and monsters are also easy."
{Low level task
Hunt eight third-rank Silver Fang wolves in the Monster Forest and bring back the cores and fangs
Bonus:
20 merit points
Half-hour learning opportunity on the first floor of the Skills Hall}
Su Ming looked at the content for a moment before smiling, "Okay, not bad."
Su Ming took the sticker and the two of them headed to the office. After submitting, their wood planks were ordered, so that no one would take the task after them, according to what the office employee told them. Since they both agreed to do one task, after it was finished, the points would be automatically divided between them. Each of them will receive ten merit points and a quarter of an hour on the first floor
After that, the two of them left the hall, as Zhang Yong immediately smiled, "Let's go there quickly."
Su Ming immediately nodded and rushed towards the monster forest
From the sect to the forest, there was a distance of two hours of road with Zhang Yong's solid body. His speed was already strong. Zhang Yong turned around for a moment to look at Su Ming, only to be surprised by his stamina. Upon noticing it, he asked Su Ming, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Yong stared blankly at him for a moment before smiling, "You have some unexpected strength."
Su Ming waved his hand, "This is not something I am proud of. I once had a teacher who taught me."
Zhang Yong laughed lightly, "So, hey, let's race to see who will arrive first."
Upon hearing that, there was nothing left to say, he smiled softly, and increased his pace until he passed Zhang Yong. "OK, see you later."
Zhang Yong laughed as he watched Su Ming's disappearing figure in front of him, "This boy hasn't seen the whole world yet."
Zhang Yong pressed the ground under his feet and immediately increased his speed. Until now, he was running at forty percent of his speed, but now, he used one hundred percent of his speed, making his speed extremely high. He bowed his head and charged forward.
On the way, Zhang Yong remembered what Ling Xi had told him before, that some people are born with rare special bodies, and he actually started to think about the possibility of Su Ming having a body like this.
He quickly caught up with Su Ming quickly, and as a line of white light passed in front of Su Ming and passed him as well
"What?...!" Su Ming cursed and was immediately shocked
The trip, which was supposed to take two hours, ended in half an hour
Zhang Yong stood in front of the forest and smiled as he stared at Su Ming who had just arrived, "You're late."
Su Ming was already panting when he arrived, "How did you… no… were you holding yourself back?"
Zhang Yong laughed softly, "My body is stronger than a normal person."
Su Ming sneered, "Okay let's go ahead, we have to look for-"
Zhang Yong's voice interrupted, "Oh, well, there's a Silver Fang Wolf fifty meters away from us."
Su Ming stared in amazement for a moment, "How?"
Zhang Yong rushed forward, "Shall we spend the day asking questions or will we go hunting?"
Without thinking much, Su Ming immediately followed after him, and when they arrived, they stood in front of a wolf two meters high and five meters long, its gray fur standing on end with red eyes filled with anger.
Zhang Yong picked up his sword and rushed towards the wolf. With a powerful howl, an electric field shot out surrounding the wolf, hitting Zhang Yong and his body was violently electrocuted. However, he swung his sword and forcefully cut the wolf's neck.
Zhang Yong released black steam from his mouth, "It still doesn't compare to Teacher Erlong's lightning."
Zhang Yong looked towards the corpse, then asked, "How should we extract the core?"
Su Ming approached with a small dagger in his hand, and cut open the wolf's stomach. "Cores are found inside monsters, and they are crystallization of the energy that the wolf possesses. The larger the core, the stronger the level of the monster. As for the fangs, they are strong, and can even be used to create weapons of the Mysterious medium level or higher"
Upon hearing that, Zhang Yong's body trembled in a shudder, his body was resistant to weapons of low mysterious level, but if the fangs were that powerful, didn't that mean they could injure him?
When Su Ming stood up, he looked disturbed, "There's something wrong, Silver Fang wolves usually hunt in large groups, so supposedly-"
Before he could finish, a loud roar was heard, a powerful wolf voice sounded in the place, immediately within their sight range, there were over forty individuals of the Silver Fang wolf, with a wolf in front that was bigger than them, that was the king of wolves.
Su Ming immediately shouted, "This is bad, run!"
The two immediately fled through the dense forest with quick steps and behind them, they were pursued by what could be described as an army of wolves.
As they advanced, their eyes widened upon seeing the front, which was a deep rocky cliff
Su Ming sneered, "Looks like this is our end man."
Zhang Yong looked at him and laughed, "I am not gonna die because of some bigass dogs, do you trust me?"
Su Ming sighed absurdly, "First, they are wolves, not dogs, and second, you ask for trust when we only knew each other yesterday? Haha, so be it then I trust you."
While they were a few meters away from the cliff, Zhang Yong shouted, "Jump!"
The two of them jumped down the cliff at the same time and were immediately followed by quite a few wolves
"Kuro"
Kuro emerged from the pet space and immediately caught the two in the air, while the wolves fell to their end
Su Ming looked at Kuro in amazement, "Zhang Yong, I didn't know you were a beast tamer."
Zhang Yong furrowed his eyebrows, "Beast tamer? What is this?"
Su Ming snorted, "Seriously, you don't really know anything, you know that in addition to other martial artists, there are side professions, such as blacksmith or Alchemist, formations Masters and beast tamers are one of them, and they are people who tame and harness beasts. Although I am not proud of this, I am an alchemist"
Zhang Yong could see him wiping the bottom of his nose proudly and condescendingly
Zhang Yong hit his back a little hard, "Okay, alchemist ,stop bragging and let's collect the cores"
Quietly, Kuro went down the mountain, where the two saw dead bodies on the ground
The two jumped off Kuro's back and Zhang Yong sent her back into space
The two began to extract cores and fangs from the wolves, each core was the size of a tennis ball
Due to the large number of wolves, the two took a long time to extract, as they had finished by sunset
