Chapter 381: 379, Accompanying Personnel
The destination is Xuanse Lake!
[Travel Quest - Renown 2]
[A Super Sect shouldn’t just be famous in one place. It should go out and become renowned far and wide. Likewise, a Super Sect’s combat power is not the best means of gaining fame. What truly makes people remember is something unique - the Vortex Map.]
[Quest Objective: Successfully transform a Three-Vortex Vortex Map and have the name ’Immortal Sect’ remembered by millions.]
[Quest Reward: 5000 Reputation Value, a random upgrade to a Sect building, and access to the Task Hall.]
[Time Limit: 30 days.]
"A Three-Vortex Vortex Map, and it needs to be remembered by millions?" Wen Ping suddenly wondered if the system was messing with him. This quest seemed to be the hardest he had encountered so far, with an off-the-charts difficulty level.
As for the Two-Vortex Vortex Map, Wen Ping hadn’t seen many of them either.
Now he is supposed to remodel a Three-Vortex Vortex Map?
The biggest question is, how to acquire a Three-Vortex Vortex Map?
"Host, have confidence in yourself. An increase in quest difficulty also means more generous rewards. 5000 Reputation Value is enough to promote the Sect Leader to Level Two, and the power boost within the Sect will be greatly enhanced. Moreover, the Task Hall will provide more options for the host."
"What options?"
"In addition to the tasks the system assigns, the host can also choose and undertake tasks you like."
"That’s nice."
Naturally, when it comes to quests, the more the merrier.
Looking at it this way, although the quest is a bit difficult, the rewards are quite generous.
Especially with the appearance of the Task Hall - if there’s no White Crystal to upgrade the Tingyu Pavilion in the future, just go crazy accepting tasks for random building upgrades. If one chance doesn’t work, try two... After all, you can never lose by completing a quest.
Just hope that the limitations set by the system won’t be too tricky.
Focusing on the current task, Wen Ping felt that there was no issue with it.
But there was one issue, he had another purpose on this trip, to look for his father, and the 30-day limit might not be enough. After all, Xuanse Lake isn’t like East Lake, where a Flying Ship can cross it end to end in half a day.
"System, when does the quest timer start?"
"The 30-day countdown begins the moment the host leaves the Sect and enters the Xuanse Lake area."
"That’s good." With the round trip not counted towards the time, the time to complete the quest suddenly becomes ample, "First, decide which disciples will accompany us... If it’s Lin Kewu for the trip to Xuanse Lake, he should be very happy, right?"
The person dearest to him is at Xuanse Lake.
Just like him, his beloved is at Xuanse Lake - the difference is one loves a woman, he loves his father.
"Sect Leader, the letter has been sent out." At this moment, Biyue Yi returned from outside with empty hands.
"Mm."
Wen Ping nodded and left the dormitory area. Now he had no desire to go to the Jianmu Forest for cultivation.
After gathering some clothes in the Main Hall, Wen Ping entered the Ten Layers Tower, wanting to try his luck with the Life Core to refine another Long Yue Sword.
Of course, things did not go as planned.
The Life Core did not move.
No matter how Wen Ping shook it, it remained completely still.
And so, it became noon.
The crowd gathered once again for lunch, but before it started, Wen Ping made this meal more unusual.
"Lele, bring out your Good Fortune Chopsticks." Yang Lele is how he referred to the spinning chopstick of his.
"Sect Leader!"
The corners of Yang Lele’s mouth immediately lifted. He knew what it meant when the Sect Leader was about to spin the chopstick.
"Sect Leader, where are we going this time?" Huan Shan and the others eagerly asked. They had never gone out with the Sect Leader before, constantly hearing those who went out brag about the world outside, how glorious it was. They also wanted to go out and see, to enjoy some glory themselves.
"Xuanse Lake."
"Xuanse Lake?" Zhantian Qingxuan’s expression suddenly tensed.
Huai Ye, who was beside him, quickly asked, "Elder Qingxuan, is there a problem with Xuanse Lake?"
Huai Ye had heard his adoptive father mention Xuanse Lake before; it was an even more vast and boundless world than Bright Mirror Lake.
"There’s no problem... I just didn’t expect the Sect Leader to go so far this time. Xuanse Lake is nearly 100,000 miles away from us, even for a Divine Profound Upper Realm Great Demon, it would take more than half a month for a round trip."
After Qingxuan finished speaking, Wen Ping spoke, "Spin it."
"Here it comes!"
Yang Lele rolled up his sleeves, ready to give it his all.
A twist.
A toss.
The chopstick spun on the table, gradually slowing down from fast to slow.
"It’s me... it’s me!" Luo Mi, the one the chopstick pointed at, jumped up in excitement, unable to close his mouth while smiling.
No one paid him any mind, and they let Yang Lele continue spinning.
The second spin, the person it points to - Yang Xi.
"Me?"
Yang Xi wasn’t as frantic as Luo Mi, but still a bit surprised.
Yang Lele directly extended his hand to ruffle Yang Xi’s hair, "Silly girl, if it isn’t you, then who is it?"
But just as his hand reached out, it was withdrawn, intimidated by Zhao Qing’s cold gaze.
"Spin... keep spinning." Yang Lele awkwardly smiled, quickly changing the subject.
The third spin, the person it points to - Lin Kewu.
"Why is it Lin Kewu Junior Brother again?"
"Lin Kewu Junior Brother, this is the second time."
Yang Lele and the others’ faces instantly fell.
Lin Kewu, on the other hand, was not happy, stuttering as he spoke, "I... I’m going to... Xuanse Lake... why me... I’m not ready yet... how will I face her?"
Wen Ping heard what he said and smiled faintly.
Indeed, a lovesick man is truly a fool.
"Hope his reunion with Wanyan isn’t disappointed." In his view, Wanyan had only humored him.
How can humor be taken seriously?
If he finds Wanyan already in someone else’s embrace, what then?
Wen Ping raised his hand to stop everyone’s discussions, "It’s you three. Today, pack your things, we’ll set off at midnight... Elder Qingxuan, I’ll entrust the Sect matters to you. I might be away for a while, so Wind Valley, Nirvana House, and Thousand Layers are temporarily closed, while the rest can be used as usual."
"Sect Leader, how long will you be gone?" Hearing that Wind Valley and Nirvana House were closed, Zhantian Qingxuan was a bit disappointed.
Wen Ping answered, "As short as one month, and as long as a month and a half. During this time, do not leave the mountain if there are issues."
"Understood."
Zhantian Qingxuan and the others nodded.
Wen Ping then added a warning, "When Zhao Keqing comes out of seclusion, tell her not to overstep the Sect’s rules, or the consequences will be on her."
External threats didn’t really bother Wen Ping.
But internal strife, was indeed somewhat frightening.
Speaking of which, his aunt was nearing a hundred years old, so why did she have the mindset of a girl in her twenties?
Wen Ping turned to look at the three, Lin Kewu, Luo Mi, and Yang Xi, and said, "You three, hurry up and eat, and prepare whatever you need. The world outside isn’t as peaceful and safe as the Sect."
"Got it!"
The three nodded promptly.
"That’s it, we’ll set off at midnight."
After saying this, Wen Ping lost his appetite, leaving the kitchen to get some Jianmu leaves.
It’s a better antidote than the Life Cigar.
