173 Mission

After refining the Fire Spirit Pill and advance to 3-Star Martial Master, Alex decided to go to the Exchange Pavilion to get some missions. After leaving the room, Alex saw Anna, who is currently cleaning the living room. Anna finally noticed his presence.

"Ah, Young Master. You have finally come out. Since the previous time, you need three days to absorb the Fire Spirit Pill's efficacy. I thought you are going to come out sooner or later." Anna said with a smile.

"Sorry to neglect you these days. Are you bored?" Alex asked.

"No way. As long as I can be with Young Master, I won't be bored" Anna smiled brightly.

"Is there anything you need? I will buy it for you."

"No, I don't need anything at the moment." Anna shook her head. "When will Young Master depart?"

"Right now."

"Then, I will wait for Young Master reaches the destination and summons me" She said lightly.

"Sorry to trouble you all this time."

"No, it is my pleasure to do so."

"Then, I'm going."

"Yes, please be careful."

Alex flies from the yard toward the south. Not long after, he sees a huge tower in front of him. He decided to descend and walk there. Now that he sees it up close. It is awe-inspiring.

From the outside, this pavilion looks impressive. It was built by white bricks and had blue stone decorations. Small triangular windows add to the overall style of the pavilion.

He looks around a bit and finally found the entrance. He comes inside. There are ten floors inside the pavilion. Alex tried to search for the information board and found it around the entrance. According to the information board, there are ten floors inside the pavilion. The first floor is where you can get the mission, and after you received the mission, turn it to the elder in front of the entrance, he will record your mission. After you complete the mission, you can receive the reward on the second floor. The third to sixth floor is for Alchemist, There are also a few Alchemist inside the tower, and most of them come from the Alchemy Guild. You can request a specific pill from them at an extra price. The rest of the floor is for the weapon store.

Alex strolled around while searching the mission for him.

Mission: Kill Storm Bandits near Alagala Stronghold

Requirement: 8-Star Martial Grandmaster

Reward: 10000 Spirit Stones/ 1000 Sect Points.

Mission: Gather 10 Mialose Herbs

Requirement: 1-Star Martial Master (Repeatable)

Reward: 50 Spirit Stones/5 Sect Points.

Mission: Kill 10 Savage Bison and take its tongue (Repeatable)

Requirement: 5-Star Martial Master

Reward: 100 Spirit Stones/ 10 Sect Points.

There are many varieties of missions, from gathering medicinal ingredients to killing monsters or humans. And from the look of it, the exchange reward of Spirit Stones and Sect Points is 10:1. Now he is wondering how many points that he needs to use Martial Pavilion or Battle Tower. Since he was unsure of how many he needed. After all, the Battle Tower alone cost three hundred Sect Points, and the Martial Arts Pavilion cost ten to a thousand Sect Points.

If he was an 8-Star Martial Grandmaster, he can take the Storm Bandits quest and filled his sect points already. But he is only a puny 3-Star Martial Master now. For the time being, he takes the Savage Bison quest since it is repeatable. The Savage Bison tongue is one of the ingredients of Energy Raising Pill. It is beneficial for Martial Master cultivators. It has the same effect as Gathering Array, only a bit downgrade. Since he already has his own Gathering Array, he didn't need it and will take this request to rack some points.

Alex took a few more quests, mainly the repeatable one and at the same place or nearby.

Mission: Kill a Twin Snake and retrieve its poison sac (Repeatable)

Requirement: 2-Star Martial Master

Reward: 20 Spirit Stones/ 2 Sect Points

Mission: Collect ten Ofty Grass (Repeatable)

Requirement: 1-Star Martial Master

Reward: 100 Spirit Stones/ 10 Sect Points.

Mission: Collect five Reen Wood Log (Repeatable)

Requirement: 2-Star Martial Master

Reward: 50 Spirit Stones/ 5 Sect Points.

Savage Bison is a bigger size of Bison. These Bison are usually in 3-Star Master Stage or 4-Star Master Stage. That alone didn't possess a challenge for him. But the problem is that these Bison are usually wandering around in a group. As for the Twin Snake, it is the same snake that Alex kills when he save Kenshin. There is nothing to worry about this one. As for Ofty Grass, it is a common and tall grass and can be found in most forests. And the Reen Wood Log comes from Reen Tree, and its habitat is at the higher ground. It usually found in a hill and the like.

Alex took out those four requests. He only needs to go to a place called Zunde Field. This field contains all the missions he has right now. He went toward the elder near the entrance.

"Excuse me, Elder. I want to take these quests" Said Alex politely while giving the Elder those four quest papers.

"You took many missions. Are you sure you can complete all these requests?" The Elder asked Alex while examining him.

"Yes. I'm going to go outside for a while, after all." Alex smiled.

"Well, whatever. All of these missions are easy. After you memorized the missions about, give those papers to me. After you finished the quest. You can turn it on the second floor. You don't need the quest papers since repeatable quests like this won't be put down in a long time. I will need to put the papers back so others also can know about it."

Alex surely understood that. But he noticed there is a loophole in this kind of quest. "I'm sorry, Elder. Can I ask you something?"

"En? Just say it."

"If a disciple from a big influence receives a quest like this from the Sect. Can't they complete the quest with the help of their family? Or since it is an ingredient for Alchemy. Can't they bought it from the Alchemist Guild and exchanged it here."

"Are you a new disciple?"

"Yes" Alex nodded.

"I will only say this. Your background is also a part of your power. It is only another way to utilize your background. But remember this, even those people who are completely relying on their background can become stronger. They won't be an expert" The Elder said solemnly.

Alex understood the meaning within his words. It's true. Those people will only be dependent on their family and become good for nothing people. "Thank you, Elder. I'm going now."

"En" The Elder only wave his hand.

Alex didn't immediately go toward the Zunde Field. He stopped at the town outside the Sect First. He put on a long black robe and put his mask as he made his way toward the Alchemist Guild. The one who serves was also the same female when he had come here for the first time.

"Hello, How may I help you?" She politely asked.

"I want to sell my Fire Spirit Pills."

"I will call Mr. Moby. He will be the one who inspects your pill. Please wait a bit."

Not long after, she comes back with an old man wearing glasses. Old Moby looked at Alex's long black robe and mask. He didn't sense any Spiritual Energy from this guy, but since he comes here to sell his pills, he must also be an Alchemist. "Let me inspect your pill."

Alex took out a bottle that contained ten Fire Spirit Pills. His purpose was to raise a fund to buy more ingredients. This is one of his plans for later after he finished his mission.

First, Moby tried to smell the Pill aroma. He was surprised, 'Such a pure aroma.'

He inspected it more closely and found all of them are perfect purity. That means in the bottle, there are ten Perfect Purity Fire Spirit Pills. There is no shortage of Pills in the Alchemist Guild. But most of them weren't in perfect purity. They are mostly around eighty to ninety five percent purity. But this man in front of him brought ten perfect purity Fire Spirit Pill, this would be very beneficial for Fire Element Martial Artist.

"May I know your name, Sir?"

"How much" Alex ignored him and only said coldly.

Knowing that it is impossible to know such an Alchemist. "Since all of the pills are perfect purity. Usually, a perfect purity Fire Spirit Pill will be bought for a thousand Spirit Stones. But, because Sir sell a batch. I will increase the price by ten percent. So we will buy them for eleven thousand Spirit Stones. How about it, Sir?"

"Then, I will sell another one." Alex took out another bottle that contained another ten Fire Spirit Pills.

Moby was shocked, he immediately inspected them again and found them also have perfect purity. "All of them would be twenty twwwo thousand Spirit Stones, Sir. Is there any other thing I can help you with?"

"Then, I want thirty sets of ingredients for Fire Spirit Pills and Twenty sets of ingredients for Jade Heart Pill." Alex said.

"Yes. We will immediately prepare them." Moby looks at the female receptionist. "Prepare the ingredients for the Sir."

"Ye-Yes!" The Female receptionist immediately went on her way.

"All of that would be three thousand and one hundred Spirit Stones. So, this is eighteen thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones."

Alex took the Spirit Stones. Not long after, the female receptionist has come back along with the ingredients. Moby asked again, "How about using our Alchemy Room, Sir?"

"No need" Alex took the ingredients and left.

When he got outside, he walked toward the town gate. He didn't say anything. In fact, his heart is racing. 'Fu... It's tough to pretend to be someone else. I'm not used to doing something like this. But, Well. I got what I need. I can make fifty Fire Spirit Pills and twenty Jade Heart Pill. And later I can...Hehe'

After leaving the town, Alex finally made his way toward the Zunde Field. He is flying for two days before he finally reached the place. There are many woods, hills, and cliffs in Zunde Field.?"Let me see. The Twin Snake and Ofty Grass are in the wood, the Savage Bisons are also in the wood and sometimes in the hill while Reen Wood Tree is in the hill or around the cliff. Where should I go first? Should I go toward the forest first then to the hill? Or the otherwise?

Ten Savage Bisons are equal to Ten Ofty Grass or five Twin Snake or Ten Reen Wood Log. This is a difficult choice."

After pondering for a while. Alex decided his course of action "Let's go to the forest first since I can meet either Ofty Grass or Twin Snake or maybe Savage Bisons If I'm lucky."

But before that...Alex took out Anna's Card. He speaks with Anna with her Card like a handphone. "Anna, is there anything wrong there?"

"There is nothing abnormal Young Master. I am ready if you want to summon me."

"What about Leoz's card" He suddenly remember Leoz's Card in Anna's hand. If he summoned Anna, will that Card drop in his room? What if something happens to Leoz?

"Ah, Young Master. You can also recall his Card to your Inventory, you know?"

"I can?" Alex's eyes flashed. He didn't know about that. He tried to recall Leoz's Card. And yeah, His Card back to his Inventory. He took his Card out of Inventory. He tried to call him through his Card. "Leoz?"

"Young Master? Is there anything you need?"

"Nothing. I'm just checking you" Alex replies hurriedly. "What is the condition in your end?"

"I'm fine Young Master. I need about two months before I finally reached Martial Grandmaster" Leoz said.

"Oh, that's fine. I also seem to need to stay in the Sect for quite a long time."

"I'm currently an 8-Star Martial Master, and Anna is currently at 4-Star Martial Master. From the current EXP, I assume when the time I reached Grandmaster Rank, Anna would be around 8-Star Martial Master because of our difference in level."

"What? Anna's Cultivation has passed me?" Alex was shocked since he forgot to check Anna's Card. This leveling system for Leoz and Anna is really killing his will.

"Yes. Didn't Anna tell you? Now, I mostly kill Peak Master Stage Monster. According to our leveling system, it is equal to Level 20, while Anna is only level 14. The difference in the level make the EXP that she received far higher."

"Yeah. If I'm not wrong, each your level is equal to one small realm of Cultivation."

"That's right Young Master. I'm now level 18 or 8-Star Martial Master. I would need to reach level 21 to be in Martial Grandmaster Stage."

"I'm really envious of you guys who can level up. It is so easy to raise your strength" Alex pouted.

"Haha, Young Master. If you wholeheartedly increase your Cultivation. I'm sure that this leveling system is no match with your cultivation speed." Leoz laughed a bit.

"What are you doing now?"

"I'm taking a rest for the time being to restore my strength"

"Good. Don't push yourself too hard. We still have much time to spare."

"Of course, Young Master. Thank you for your words."

"Then, I won't bother you anymore. Oh right. Try not to go to danger for a month. Anna and I will be busy, so we can't check your condition all the time."

"Understood"

After talking with Leoz, He put Leoz Card inside his Inventory. He took out Anna's Card and summoned her. "Summon"

Anna suddenly disappeared from Alex's room in the Sect and appeared in front of him. "Young Master"
