Sect Contribution Points can be exchanged for Cultivation Techniques, Elixirs, materials, Divine Weapons, and Earth Emperor Tokens. Within the East Spirit Immortal Pond, Contribution Points are regarded as wealth.
For this task, it is clear that the upper echelon of the Flowing Fire Hall prefers to capture so of these marauders alive, so that they can thoroughly interrogate them to determine who dared to orchestrate an attack on the disciples of the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
After all, secretly assassinating targets can be ignored if not investigated, but they dared to ambush an entire team of East Spirit Immortal Pond Disciples, right at the Blood Crystal Mountain Range, which is not far from East Spirit Immortal Pond. Such arrogance cannot be tolerated by the East Spirit Immortal Pond.
Especially since the Flowing Fire Hall Master was reportedly furious and almost intervened himself.
As a result, a large group of elite Inner and Outer Sect mbers were dispatched for this mission, and the Contribution Points for capturing a person alive are twice as much as for killing them.
If the enemy leader is captured alive, it is worth fifty thousand Contribution Points, enough to exchange for an Earth Emperor Token!
Of course, the enemy leader wields the power of an Extre Human Emperor, so ordinary Outer Disciples shouldn’t even consider this fifty-thousand-point reward; their role is mostly to act as auxiliaries.
The true protagonists of this mission are the Inner Sect Disciples, specifically Wang Ruquan and Lee Fei, who are ranked on the Creation Star List.
"You’re Ling Feng, right? Impressive, being able to kill ng Jiande really proves your strength."
At this mont, the Green Robed Man who had been watching near the Life and Death Platform approached Ling Feng and lightly tapped his shoulder, expressing admiration with a calm tone.
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes to look and saw a gentleman in a green robe, who then quietly shook his head and said, "Brother, you’re praising too much."
"I forgot to introduce myself," said the Green Robed Man with a smile, "I am Yan Guying, the third Outer Heaven Sword. I watched your battle with ng Guizang earlier. Your movent technique is quite good, but agreeing to such a reckless duel wasn’t very wise."
Ling Feng touched his nose, internally amused by Yan Guying’s advice. Seeing the sincerity in Yan Guying’s deanor, Ling Feng said nothing but simply pursed his lips, letting the words flow in one ear and out the other.
Yan Guying realized Ling Feng hadn’t paid attention to his words and shook his head with a slight smile before continuing, "Never mind, I won’t say much about other matters. However, for this sect mission, we Outer Disciples should rember not to steal credit; simply collaborate well with the Inner Sect Disciples."
Yan Guying took a deep look at Ling Feng and continued, "Those external enemies are formidable. We Outer Disciples are not on par with them, so assisting is enough. Historically, Outer Disciples only acted as support in missions. If you truly steal Contribution Points from Inner Sect Disciples, I’m afraid..."
Yan Guying stopped himself from saying too much, confident that Ling Feng, being smart, could understand the deeper implications.
After all, Ling Feng dared to accept ng Guizang’s duel, indicating he is impulsive. Yan Guying felt it necessary to remind him, considering it as looking out for his fellow disciple.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng frowned and said, "Then aren’t we Outer Disciples just working hard for nothing, without getting any benefit and risking our lives?"
Yan Guying shook his head and smiled, "Not completely true. Traditionally, after successful missions, those disciples supporting from the sidelines receive about one-tenth of the Inner Sect Disciples’ Contribution Points. For example, if you assist an Inner Sect Disciple in defeating an enemy, you might receive fifty Contribution Points. However, whether you receive any Contribution Points depends on Inner Sect Disciples’ judgnt."
"But, regardless of how you put it, this is an opportunity for us Outer Disciples to earn Contribution Points, and it’s faster than earning only ten points a month."
Ling Feng listened quietly, internally mocking himself. Despite being both disciples of the East Spirit Immortal Pond, the gap between Inner and Outer is substantial.
Normally, even practicing in the Earth Realm isn’t an issue, but when executing missions, only being a vanguard for Inner Sect Disciples seems a bit much.
"Furthermore, Junior Brother Ling, don’t think it’s unfair. We get to cooperate with Inner Sect Disciples; if we perform well and are appreciated by them in the future missions, they might specifically request us, offering more opportunities to earn extra Contribution Points. Long-term, it’s a gain rather than a loss."
Yan Guying said slowly.
"A gain rather than a loss?"
Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, finally realizing that Outer Disciples are essentially just henchn for Inner Sect Disciples!
The position of Outer Disciples is truly...
Even Outer Elders’ status is likely inferior to that of Inner Sect Disciples.
Watching Yan Guying’s earnest persuasion, Ling Feng felt a pang of sorrow for his servility.
As the third Outer Heaven Sword, he can only flatter Inner Sect Disciples, which is quite lantable.
But he knew well that the path of Martial Arts is difficult, requiring many resources. Not everyone possesses exceptional Alchemy skills and has imnse wealth like in the Five Elents Heavenly Palace.
He is not particularly in need of materials, but ordinary Outer Disciples lack his assurance, forced to endure and strive for any chance to strengthen themselves.
This is the harsh reality.
If he were in Yan Guying’s position, without a backup plan or wealth, he’d probably have to swallow insults too.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yan."
Ling Feng bowed to Yan Guying, appreciating the guidance from a fellow disciple in such a competitive Outer Sect environnt.
Whether or not he would heed the advice was his own concern.
Nearby, the Heavenly Sword Sixth, Zhu Lianshan, glanced at Yan Guying and said disdainfully, "Brother Yan, your ingrained habit of being overly altruistic seems hard to change. Why bother explaining so much to him? He’ll probably die at ng Guizang’s hands soon enough."
Yan Guying sighed, "Regardless, I did what I ought to do."
Speaking again, he looked at Ling Feng and said, "Actually, ng Jiande, ng Guizang’s brother, caused havoc in the Outer Sect, suppressing fellow disciples. I wanted to intervene long ago but was kept in check by sect rules. Now that you’ve rid Outer Sect of a great harm, it is indeed a good deed."
Pausing briefly, Yan Guying added, "For this mission, stay close to ."
Saying this, he glanced in ng Guizang’s direction, issuing a subtle warning.
ng Guizang snorted coldly but, despite his recent rise in power, dared not disregard Yan Guying, the third Outer Heaven Sword. With Yan Guying’s protection, ng Guizang wouldn’t risk anything secretly.
Ling Feng touched his nose. Though he didn’t require Yan Guying’s protection, he still appreciated Yan Guying’s character.
Should the opportunity arise, he would certainly reciprocate and aid Yan Guying in return.
Unbeknownst to Yan Guying, his righteous act had inadvertently given himself a serendipitous stroke of fortune.
