On the light screen, information swiftly flicked past, with more than ten Outer Sect Disciples, including Lu Xuan, attentively watching each word appearing.

“Demon Beast hunting task requires venturing to Luo Yan Mountain Range to hunt down first and second-grade demonic beasts.

Task reward: Fifty Sword Marks.

Requirement: A minimum number of demonic beasts must be hunted and if a large number is hunted, additional Sword Marks can be awarded as a bonus.” “Spirit Plant collection task, requires going to the Black Abyss to pick a third-grade Strange Ghost Vine.

Task reward: One hundred Sword Marks.”

“Demon Envoy Investigation task, there have been Demon Envoys wreaking havoc in Cang Xing City. The Demon Envoy should not be weaker than a high-tier Qi Cultivator. They need to be tracked down. The task reward will be adjusted according to the Demon Envoy’s strength, number, and how well they have been managed.”

The most frequently appearing information attracted the attention of the cultivators present.

“Is there any Senior Sister who would like to come with me to Luo Yan Mountain Range to hunt demonic beasts? If we get along, I can give you a larger share of the Sword Marks rewarded for the task.”

-The Black Abyss, one hundred Sword Marks, it’s truly tempting, but sadly, I’m

a little lacking in strength.”

A cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refinement stared at the task of picking a third-grade Strange Ghost Vine, his expression changing frequently, showing that he was deeply conflicted.

“Is there a Senior Brother or Senior Sister who would like to form a team with me to investigate the Demon Envoy in Cang Xing City? I am at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, skilled in Fire System Techniques, and I have a talisman for exorcising evil. I believe we can easily take down that Demon Envoy together.

A youth with a proud demeanor said.

Lu Xuan glanced at the several high-reward tasks before moving his gaze

down.

Within the similar tasks, some saw an opportunity, but he saw risk.

He had been intensively studying cultivation knowledge recently and learned that Luo Yan Mountain Range and the Black Abyss, where these tasks took place, were chaotic secret lands in the Cultivation World. Sect Powers cannot take them due to either the occupation cost being much higher than the benefits or simply because they let nature take its course.

These places were full of numerous Demon Beasts and Demon Envoys, dangerous places and deadly pits, but at the same time, they were also full of inexhaustible spiritual medicines, demon beast materials, and even occasionally, someone would obtain an opportunity to soar to the heavens.

In a nutshell, opportunity and risk coexist.

Lu Xuan already had a secure opportunity and thus he didn’t need to take risks.

He could stay in the Sky Sword Sect, honestly and securely cultivate spiritual plants.

The tasks at the bottom of the light screen were much easier, but the Sword

Mark awards had decreased accordingly.

“Postnatal care task, the Violent Tusk Sky Pig has just given birth to piglets, and we need a cultivator to help care for them. Because of the nurturing instincts, the Violent Tusk Sky Pigs can be very aggressive. Those with relevant experience are preferred. The task reward is thirty-five Sword Marks.”

“Postnatal care for a sow?”

Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided to abandon it.

He selected a bit and chose a spiritual plant cultivation task.

“Take care of a second-grade Spirit Plant, Monkey Face Orchid. The time limit is three months. The reward is thirty Sword Marks.”

Lu Xuan believes he won’t have much problem cultivating a second-grade Spirit Plant. If he can’t cultivate it properly, he could always uproot it and plant it again to better understand the immediate status of the Spirit Plant.

Lu Xuan was full of confidence. His Spiritual Sense extended and gently touched the line of text on the light screen.

in an instant, the text disappeared, and Lu Xuan received detailed information about the task’s specific location and its content in his mind.

After leaving the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he found a nearby Spirit Crane, told it his destination, and the crane quickly flew off with him in the high sky.

A short while later, the Spirit Crane landed in a valley.

The valley was very quiet and was shrouded in a white light shield, obscuring

the inside view.

The Spirit Crane seemed to know that it would not be able to pick up any Cultivator en route for a short time and immediately flew away.

Lu Xuan arrived at the light shield and spoke in a deep voice.

“I am Lu Xuan, here to tend to the Monkey-faced Orchids as per my task assignment.”

Just as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy on the light shield swiftly altered, and soon, a beautiful woman dressed in apricot-coloured clothes emerged.

“So it’s Junior Brother Lu, I apologize for not being able to welcome you from

afar.”

“My surname is Yao. As I joined the sect earlier than you, you can simply call

me Senior Sister Yao.”

The beautiful woman spoke softly.

“Hello, Senior Sister Yao.”

Without thinking, Lu Xuan scanned her with his spiritual sense and discerned she had reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation.

He followed the beautiful woman’s lead, entering the light shield.

“This valley is a garden established by a Foundation Establishment Uncle

Master, and I normally manage it.”

“Due to the absence of a cultivator who was supposed to tend the Monkey-faced Orchids, apart from me, only one person remained. We’ve both been quite busy and stretched thin, that’s why we posted a task in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, hoping to lessen our burdens.”

The beautiful woman explained with a smile.

As Lu Xuan entered the medicine garden, he cast a casual glance towards it. The garden was full of various species of spiritual plants, among which one or two places were hidden by formation restrictions. He guessed that these were likely Grade Three Spiritual Plants.

“Senior Sister Yao, I understand the details of the task clearly, but I have a

doubt.”

“Please state your question, Junior Brother.”

“After taking care of the Monkey-faced Orchids, can I return to my own cave mansion to cultivate and rest?

“Certainly, once you’ve completed the daily cultivation tasks, you can stay in the medicine garden or return to your own cave mansion to rest.

“You’ll roughly need to spend about two to three hours a day tending to the Monkey-faced Orchids; the rest of your time can be devoted to cultivating techniques and spells.”

“After all, cultivation is the main path, one could not abandon cultivation merely for nurturing spiritual plants.”

“Senior Sister speaks rightly.”

Lu Xuan gave a slight nod. His reason for proposing to return to his own cave mansion wasn’t due to his desire to cultivate, but rather because he needed to devote time and energy to nurturing the spiritual plants in his cave mansion’s spirit field.

He was planning to loosen the cultivation requirements of the two hundred Spirit Firefly Grass and twenty-eight Blood Jade Ginseng in the spirit field and abandon the maximization of refined cultivation to save some time for earning sword marks.

However, the potency and purity of spiritual energy in the Sky Sword Sect was so profound that he speculated it could fully compensate for his slacking off a bit, without affecting the quality of the Spirit Firefly Grass and Blood Jade Ginseng.

“This field is where the second-grade Monkey-faced Orchids are planted.

The beautiful woman led Lu Xuan to a wide spirit field.

The spirit field was teeming with many odd-looking spiritual plants. Inside the variously coloured petals, a pattern shaped like a monkey’s face emerged. The patterns were lifelike, as if there were real monkeys hidden within the petals, peeking out at the surroundings.

The expressions on each monkey’s face were all different-some were grinning mischievously, others carried a dignified, solemn look, some were furiously glaring, while others wore cold, indifferent expressions. One could observe all kinds of different expressions in these grade-two spiritual plants.

While walking between rows of the spirit field, Lu Xuan felt as if those naturally formed expressions were observing him, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

-These Monkey-faced Orchids may look intimidating, but they’re really just ordinary spiritual plants. You just need to foster them on time” If you notice any changes in the face within some Monkey-faced Orchid’s petals, don’t mind it.”

-There will be another person in the medicine garden, whose name is Yan Ping and whose cultivation level is like yours. I’ll introduce you two to each other in a moment.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister Yao.”

Lu Xuan said with a smile..
