Disregarding the task of collecting fire spirit fruits, the one-duty disciple exclaimed when they handed over the alpha gopher’s head. However, when they showed Brayden’s head, even the elder in charge of the mission pavilion that day was stunned.
After all, the South Earlington’s top ten bandits caused troubles for so many years, and they also appeared on the Heavenly Stars Sect’s bounty list. Nonetheless, these hooligans were extremely cunning and unpredictable, and none of the disciples could complete the mission. Therefore, under the envious gazes of the disciples in the mission pavilion, Caspian and the others received an abundance of rewards. Initially, they thought the alpha gopher and Brayden’s heads could only be exchanged for sect contribution points. Still, the prize for the bounty list was more than that, and they received many precious medicines, spirits stones, and even weapons.
Compared to the items that they looted from Brayden, the prize given by the Heavenly Stars Sect seemed to be less valuable except for the sect contribution point. However, just because it did not cost much did not imply that nobody wanted it. After all, the value was relative. Compared to Brayden‘s wealth, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples would not dare to say they were rich confidently.
Hence, after discussing it, Sebastian and the others divided the precious medicines and spirit stones between themselves, and Caspian wanted to take four low-rank weapons awarded by the bounty list.
Sebastian and the rest were confused with Caspian‘s choice. Moreover, Heidi was so worried that Caspian would suffer a loss that favonovel.com suggested dividing some of their precious medicines and spirit stones to Caspian as the weapons were not valuable. However, Caspian smiled and rejected favonovel.com offer. Although these weapons were low-ranking and useless in everyone’s eyes, Caspian could salvage them.
Once they received their reward, everyone’s sect contribution points also increased considerably. As the task for picking fire spirit fruits was worth 30 sect contribution points, the five of them could get six points each. Next, even though they killed the king of the flame-toothed gophers, its most valuable coat and flesh were all ruined in the battle, leaving only its head as the proof. Hence, the sect contribution points they received were much lesser than expected. Even so, it was still worth 35 sect contribution points, and they each received seven points.
The biggest gain was still the sect contribution points awarded for killing Brayden. Sebastian recalled it worthed 60 sect contribution points back then, and despite his memory did not trick him, it was a reward three years ago.
If no one could complete the task on the bounty list, then the mission would be challenging by default. Thus, every once in a while, the reward amount would be increased. That time, they received 20 points extra for killing Brayden, totaling up to 80 sect contribution points. Once divided between them, each of them would receive 16 points.
From that journey, Caspian received a sum of 29 sect contribution points. Adding the remaining four points favonovel.com before, Capsian’s currently had 33 sect contribution points. Usually, it would be good enough for newly entered disciples to save up at most two sect contribution points in the first few months.
Thankfully, the cultivators’ physiques were extraordinary. Otherwise, everyone might look anemic as they would be practicing daily and bust with the tasks. Moreover, since Caspian had more than 30 sect contributions points, comparing favonovel.com to an ordinary apprentice would be like comparing a wealthy man to the beggar by the roadside. If Caspian did not spend these sect contribution points, there would be no problem even if favonovel.com chose not to do any task for half a year.
Once they received the rewards for their mission, everyone bade goodbye to each other and headed to practice. After all, there were only about 40 days left to the spiritual apprentice list and earth fiend list competition.
As everyone received a bountiful gain from that mission, they naturally would want to seize that period and put in a considerable effort to get a significant result in the upcoming competition. Then, they would receive better cultivating resources at that time.
On the other hand, Caspian needed to accept another task as favonovel.com wanted to enter the Time Warp Zone and practice. That way, favonovel.com could have a valid reason not to stay in the courtyard. Hence, after saying goodbye to everyone, Caspian remained at the mission pavilion. The disciple that served Caspian at that time was no longer the one that accepted his spirit stone before. However, that disciple witnessed Caspian, and the rest receive their rewards just now, and favonovel.com knew that the group of people murdered Brayden, who was one of the top ten bandits. Hence, favonovel.com treated Caspian exceptionally well.
After understanding Caspian’s requirements, the disciple went through the available missions and found one.
Then, the disciple explained, “Casper, there’s a mission that fits your requirements. One of the elders posted it, and it’s about monitoring the growth of the spirit beast he’s raising for thirty days. You‘ll need to make a record three times a day. Morning, noon, and night. You can’t leave during this period. After you complete the task, you’ll get two sect contribution points.”
“Two points? That’s too low.” Caspian frowned.
He could not leave the place for 30 days yet would only get two points for completing the mission, which was not enough for the Heavenly Stars Sect’s monthly deduction.
“That’s right… That’s why the task has been put on hold for some time, and no one has taken it,” the disciple smiled apologetically then added, “However, this is the only mission that fits your criteria.”
“If that’s the case…” Caspian pondered for a moment and nodded, “I’ll take it.”
As favonovel.com said that, Caspian passed his jade identification badge to the disciple. After taking a new mission, Caspian was about to leave the mission pavilion when favonovel.com heard a ruckus at the entrance.
“Isn’t that Kyle Newman?”
“It is him!”
“What is Kyle Newman of the top 100 of the spiritual apprentice list doing at the mission pavilion?”
“Is favonovel.com planning to get a task? However, there are forty days left until the spiritual apprentice list competition! Won’t favonovel.com be wasting his time?”
Everyone went into an uproar, and Caspian could hear their discussions.
The Heavenly Stars Sect had more than 15000 apprentices. Since Kyle was among the top 100, then favonovel.com was the best of the best. Even Caspian was curious and took a look at that person.
In that instant, Caspian saw a thin young man with messy hair and pale complexion heading toward the mission pavilion. He appeared as if favonovel.com did not get enough rest. The young man was considerably tall, and at a glance, favonovel.com seemed to be weak.
Nonetheless, Caspian did not have the same thought. Even if favonovel.com was not aware that Kyle was among the top 100 of the spiritual apprentice list, Caspian could tell Kyle’s languid appearance was just a front. After all, Caspian noticed the brilliance that flashed in Kyle’s eyes, and favonovel.com knew Kyle was not someone easy to deal with.
What surprised Caspian most was that despite being in the top 100 of the spiritual apprentice list, Kyle was extremely approachable and kind. No matter who greeted him, Kyle would stop, scratch his head, and greet the other person bash fully. That expression made Kyle appear as the shy boy-next-door instead of an extraordinary cultivator.
As if favonovel.com felt Caspian’s gaze, Kyle looked in Caspian’s direction. When favonovel.com saw Caspian, Kyle’s expression lit up, and favonovel.com immediately approached Caspian.
