Hearing Ding Fan's words, ng Zihao couldn't help but have a face full of black lines.
Then, with a fawning expression, he said to Lianzi beside him:
"Lianzi, why don't we take a walk to my place? It's quite nice there. If you like it, I can even get you your own house there."
At this mont, Lianzi listened to what he said, glanced at him with a disgusted face, and said disdainfully:
"I'm not interested!"
Seeing her expression, ng Zihao felt frustrated, gritted his back teeth in anger, and stord out.
After he left, Lianzi's face brightened up and she said to Ding Fan:
"Brother Fan, you can find that chubby elder. He'll definitely help you."
At the ti of the assessnt, almost everyone could see how much that chubby elder valued Ding Fan. Lianzi knew that if that chubby elder saw Ding Fan in this situation, he would definitely help him.
"I heard that the chubby elder, along with a few other elders, left the Dayang Sect for a while, seemingly to complete so task. It's said they'll be gone for a while before returning."
At this mont, Liu Yan suddenly rembered this piece of news she had heard.
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Ding Fan seed a bit disappointed. He did want to find the chubby elder, but not to change his living environnt. Instead, he wanted to inquire about the mysterious figures the Dayang Sect discovered at sea, and to find out about Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing's whereabouts.
However, since the chubby elder wasn't in the sect, it seed like he would have to find another way.
"I'm fine here, don't worry about ."
Ding Fan said, seeing the worried looks on Lianzi and Liu Yan's faces.
Hearing Ding Fan's words, Lianzi and the others nodded, not saying much more. Since he was already in this situation, it couldn't change in the short term, and saying more might just make Ding Fan unhappier.
Ding Fan poured two glasses of water for the two of them. Subsequently, Lianzi said to Ding Fan:
"Brother Fan, why don't we go to the Mission Hall? I heard from the seniors in our sect that new disciples usually have so mandatory tasks."
Hearing this, Ding Fan was a bit stunned. Then he thought that since there were tasks, he might as well check them out. After all, he would be with the Dayang Sect for a while, and any missions they had, he still needed to complete them.
So Ding Fan said:
"Alright, let's go."
Then the three of them headed directly to the Mission Hall.
After leaving Ding Fan's place, they started searching for the Mission Hall. It was their first ti here, so they weren't very familiar with it.
However, luckily, there were many disciples in white robes along the way. After asking around, they finally figured out the general location of the Mission Hall.
Yet, in this process, Ding Fan inadvertently attracted the attention of nurous cultivators. It couldn't be helped, as Lianzi and Liu Yan's beauty was simply too striking. Although Ding Fan thought they were beautiful, they still fell short compared to Zhou Ruoran and others.
However, along the way, the cultivators who saw Ding Fan didn't have such a high aesthetic standard, their eyes frequently fixated on the two ladies.
After all, everyone has an appreciation for beauty, but the cultivators' attitude towards Ding Fan was not as gracious.
Though they saw that Ding Fan was good-looking, having him walk beside two beautiful won always felt sowhat inappropriate, which invoked jealousy and envy.
Moreover, Lianzi and Liu Yan kept smiling happily at Ding Fan, and the three were chatting non-stop. This clearly made Ding Fan the object of much envy.
Ding Fan chose to ignore this because there was no need to care about outsiders' opinions.
Soon they reached the Mission Hall, where there were many cultivators of various cultivation levels. It was evident that the Mission Hall was crucial for sect cultivators.
Although Ding Fan had never entered a sect before, he knew a bit. And after hearing about it, he learned that all disciples of the Dayang Sect, regardless of their type, ca here to take tasks. Taking on tasks was a way to earn contribution points, which could be exchanged for many things within the sect.
Many items within the sect required contribution points to be redeed, such as weapons, magical treasures, cultivation techniques, secret manuals, and so on.
Knowing this, Ding Fan was sowhat motivated. After all, in the Cultivation World, the most powerful factions are the sects, and they have the most good things. To enjoy these resources, disciples within the sect must have priority, and the asure of comparison among disciples is contribution points.
At this mont, Ding Fan understood the importance of these contribution points and proceeded to walk into the Mission Hall, coming before a large notice wall.
There were many people here, all seriously looking at the notice boards. Ding Fan observed that there were four notice boards, each with different content: newbie compulsory tasks, unclaid tasks, disciples' task completion status, and task leaderboard.
In total, there were these four notice boards. Ding Fan noticed that every now and then, a few middle-aged n would co up to make changes, showing that this area was constantly updated.
Then Ding Fan looked at the mandatory starter tasks. There were various tasks, and the nas of all the new disciples were listed, each with the sa or different tasks.
Ding Fan quickly found his own na, and the corresponding task was to go to Beihou Mountain to slay three Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts and retrieve their crystal cores.
Seeing that his task involved going to Beihou Mountain, Ding Fan couldn't help but feel pleased. He had been wanting to check out that mountain, as during his cultivation today, Ding Fan felt that the spiritual energy there was more abundant than in other places. Now he had a chance to find out.
While Ding Fan was in a good mood, Lianzi and others caught a glimpse of his task and were taken aback.
"What? Asking Brother Fan to hunt three Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts!"
"Is this sothing a person can do? You have to know that a Fourth Grade Yuan Beast is equivalent to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator! And there are three of them, it's simply impossible to complete!"
Lianzi and Liu Yan couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Ding Fan's task.
They never expected Ding Fan's task to be so difficult, it seed an impossible feat. Although they knew Ding Fan was strong, three Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts were too dangerous indeed!
At this mont, Lianzi and the others' exclamations attracted so cultivators nearby, who were also shocked upon seeing Ding Fan's task.
"Letting a new disciple go to Beihou Mountain? Is that a place for a new disciple?"
"Yeah, I heard there have been beast riots at Beihou Mountain, and many disciples have already perished there!"
"I heard that too, usually there aren't many tasks going to Beihou Mountain now?"
"It seems sothing major is happening at Beihou Mountain…"
...
Everyone started discussing, clearly looking at Ding Fan with eyes full of sympathy.
Hearing the discussions around him, Ding Fan didn't feel too worried, instead, he was a little excited. If what everyone said was true, and Beihou Mountain recently showed anomalies with its abundant spiritual energy, there must be a treasure appearing.
Based on his past experiences, Ding Fan was confident in his predictions. Of course, going there was definitely dangerous, but whether it would be a blessing or a disaster was unknown. Nonetheless, Ding Fan had already decided he must make the trip.
Fortune favors the bold! How can you succeed if you don't take risks!
Lianzi and Liu Yan couldn't help but step forward to persuade Ding Fan to talk to an elder to change the task to another place. After hearing the discussions, they realized that not only were the Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts dangerous, but Beihou Mountain itself was an ominous place.
Hearing their persuasion, Ding Fan replied calmly:
"It's clear soone wants to set up. Even if I go to argue, there might be no one to listen. It's better to go with the flow and see how things unfold. Besides, I quite like this task."
Hearing Ding Fan's words, Lianzi and Liu Yan were slightly shocked. They didn't expect Ding Fan to understand so clearly that soone wanted to harm him, and even if he went to argue, as a new disciple, who would help him?
Lianzi and Liu Yan looked at Ding Fan with so helplessness and worry. Although they had t Ding Fan along the way, they felt Ding Fan was a good person, honest and sincere with friends. Most importantly, he was an exceptional genius, yet he treated them with no arrogance.
By now, they considered Ding Fan a good friend. Because he faced such a problem, how could they not be worried?
Seeing their expressions, Ding Fan smiled and said:
"Don't you believe in my abilities?"
Hearing Ding Fan's words, they couldn't help laughing. They didn't expect this guy to remain so confident even now.
Afterward, Ding Fan bid farewell to the two and left, but as they watched Ding Fan's retreating figure, Lianzi and Liu Yan still looked very worried.
"Sigh… The heavens are always unfair."
Lianzi sighed emotionally.
"I hope Brother Fan, good people have good fortune!"
Liu Yan said sincerely.
...
Leaving the Mission Hall, Ding Fan wasted no ti and headed directly to Beihou Mountain. He wanted to find out what made the spiritual energy there beco so abundant.
From the earlier discussions, Ding Fan was quite certain that sothing unusual was happening at Beihou Mountain, and sothing was bound to occur.
However, Ding Fan didn't know whether this would be good or bad for him.
But since he had decided to go, he wouldn't overthink it. After all, he believed he had the ability to protect himself.
