eternal cultivation of alchemy

The tasks in the contribution hall were mostly given out by either the sect, the inner sect disciples, or the core disciples. There was not a single task that gave more than 10 points in the whole board.

After looking at the different tasks, Alex found that there were only 2 tasks that truly interested him. The first one was to kill and bring back some monster corpses, along with any other objects he found. The second one was to become an alchemist's aid.

The first one gave points depending on how strong the monster was. While the second one said to give hourly points.

He wanted to take them both. He looked around to see if there were anyone that he could ask to take the missions. But to his surprise, there was no one.

"Huh… how am I supposed to take the missions then?" he wondered. He looked around to see what the other disciples were doing. Most of them were just standing near the boards doing nothing.

After a while, they would leave, which confused Alex even more.

He stopped one of the disciples that were leaving, and asked them,

"Hello brother. Can you please tell me how I can take these missions?"

The disciple looked back, and asked in a confused manner, " is this your first time?"

"Yes, I only joined the sect today," Alex answered without hesitation.

"Oh. It's very easy. Take your nameplate and put it on one of those holders there. You can choose up to 3 missions to take at once." The disciple answered and left.

Alex looked towards the board once more, and this time saw multiple rectangular cutouts at the bottom of the board.

"Are those indentations for the nameplate?" he thought. He walked up to one of the open ones and put his nameplate in there. Suddenly, a panel appeared in front of him with all the different tasks available on the board.

For some reason, however, neither of the 2 tasks he wanted to take was on the task list. "What's going on?" he wondered.

He searched for a few more minutes, but he still couldn't find one. Confused he decided to ask someone again.

He stopped a female disciple who was just leaving and asked,

"Hello sister, can I ask you a question?"

The girl seemed to be an outer sect disciple but had an air of elegance to her. She didn't seem to be much older than him but seemed very mature for her age.

"What do you want to ask junior brother?" she asked.

"You see, I wanted to take those 2 missions, but I can't find them anywhere when I put my nameplate in the carvings. Can you tell me what's wrong?" he asked while pointing to the 2 missions he wanted to take.

"Hmm… " she turned to look at what the 2 missions he wanted to take were. When she finally saw the two tasks, she laughed a little.

"Of course, you won't find them, junior brother, they are permanent mission after all." She said as if the information she just gave was a matter of fact.

"Permanent?" he looked confused.

"What? Don't tell me you have never seen a permanent mission before?" she asked. It was her time to be surprised.

"I am new to the sect, so I don't know what that means, sister." He said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Permanent missions just mean that anyone can earn points from them, and you don't have to take the missions here. They are usually the ones where the points are not set. For example, you can just go to the sect market, a few minutes away from here, and sell monster corpses directly. "

"You don't have to go through the hassle of taking the task and only then going to sell the corpses every time you want to sell them. Similarly, you can just go to the Alchemy Hall and tell them you want to be an alchemist's aid. "

"You only need to take the missions for specific ones where there would be a contradiction if 2 people were to do the same mission at the same time. I hope that helped junior brother. Now if you will excuse me, I have a mission to complete." She said as she left the contribution hall.

Alex stood there and looked at the board once more. "So I don't need to take these two missions huh. Then should I take something else?"

He started looking through the mission board once more. Finally, something caught his eyes.

[Find a dwarf berry for inner sect disciple Kong Yuhan: 8 contribution points]

"A dwarf berry? Isn't that what I got from the eastern forest?" he quickly opened his inventory to check. A Dwarf Berry was in fact in there.

"Alright then, I will take this mission." He put his nameplate back in the carvings of the mission board and quickly navigated through loads of missions to find this specific mission.

The nameplate shined a little to inform that the mission had been accepted. Alex looked back to the board and found the mission was no longer there.

He looked at his nameplate, something more seemed to have been added to it. He focused on the nameplate a bit, and a new set of information popped up.

"The inner sect disciple mountain huh. Where is it again?" Alex opened his map to look for the direction to the inner sect disciples mountain.

The mountain was southwest from he was currently. He walked out of the contribution hall into the brilliantly lit road of the sect. He looked around in admiration at how good everything looked.

After making sure everything was set, he made his way to the inner sect disciple's mountain.
