Chapter 62: White-Level Mission

Shi Jing listened to the surrounding chatters and murmurs, instantly grasping the meaning this arrangement.

it must be noted that the Sword Cloud Manor operate on the basis of merits.

Similar to how spirit stone are used as currency between one cultivator to another.

’Merit’ is how a disciple of the sword cloud manor would exchange their ’currency’ for the benefits from the manor.

So, any action or task that benefit would inturn reward a disciple with merits. This explains why people such as Elder Chen was so fervently working hard to complete his task.

This was all for the sake of merits.

Regarding the color of the jade slip, they indicates a level of danger involved with the content of the mission.

White is the easiest, while black is the most dangerous.

The more difficult, the more merits is given.

Shi Jing swept his gaze across all the board, a light of understanding formed in his mind.

’Among all the colored jade slip, the fewest is white... This make sense since white is the least dangerous mission with enough merit to maintain one’s ownership of the cultivation cave for three month.’

Doing four of these white slip mission is enough to ensure one’s ownership for a year. This is simply too easy.

Of course, this is only easy in regards to those inner disciple who stepped has stepped into Foundation Establishment.

A white level task, for an outer disciple would require them to form a group. This in turn cause the reward to be split.

In all, on average, an outer disciple who completed a white-level mission would earn one hundred merit if lucky.

At this moment.

Above the mission hall, is a second floor occupied by a high level Inner Elder. Occasionally, a colored jade slip would fly from the gap between the two floor, landing on the board.

As Shi Jing watches this scene, a white jade slip finally appeared.

Instantly, every outer disciple, even some inner disciple stopped moving, their eyes focused on this single jade slip.

Seeing them wait, a thought appear in Shi Jing mind.

’They can’t snatch the jade slip unless it landed on the board first?’

Then.

Click!

The slip latched onto the wooden board, and with that, a shadowy figure appeared before anyone could move.

"Mine!" He said, his voice was mischievous and carefree.

Holding the white slip in the palm of his hand, he was proud. However, the moment his consciousness entered the slip and saw it content.

"Damn it! How is this a white level mission?!"

He instantly let go, as though the slip became molten steel.

Seeing this, everyone was caught off guard. But quickly, another person picked it up and viewed its content.

This person too, also dropped it then scurried away in a flurry of curses.

For the next couple of people, the slip would be picked up only to be dropped like a curse object.

The sight was quite comical.

While Shi Jing was watching this unfold, he grew curious.

’What is the content of this mission to cause such a reaction to these people?’

Following his curiosity, he walked toward the board where the slip returned to. Without much resistance, the slip fell into his hand.

Quickly, Shi Jing peer inside the slip with his spiritual essence. The sealed content appear in his mind, revealing the mission.

"Mission: Eliminate a traitor of the Sword Cloud Manor.

Known information: Fang Yu, 34 years old, Early Qi-Refinement. Last known location is the Forgotten Dark Forest.

Reward: Three Hundred Merit."

As Shi Jing skimmed through the provided information, he frowned.

’No wonder why no one want to take this mission.’

The reason for this is a combination of things.

Firstly, white-level mission often average around three hundred, and rarely, up to five hundred merits.

In comparison, a month of cultivation cave usage would cost a hundred merit. The special one like Elder Chen Lian, as well as Shi Jing current one would cost six times the amount.

For this mission, three hundred merit is good when considering that the target for elimination is only an Early-Qi Refiner.

However, that wasn’t the problem. The problem is the Forgotten Dark Forest.

After Shi Jing entered the Sword Cloud Manor, he has studied and prepared himself to adapt to this world.

Upon recalling his initial transmigration in the Dark Forgotten Forest, he feel fortunate.

This is because his location was on the outskirt of the forest, thus, only encountering body tempering beast.

But the Dark Forgotten Forest is in itself a forbidden territory. There are unknown number of hostile beasts hidden in the forest which would hunt cultivators.

The higher one’s cultivation, the more powerful a beast they attract.

This is especially so for those above the Foundation Establishment and above.

However, Shi Jing quickly stuffed away the jade slip and left the Mission Hall.

The current him is sufficiently powerful enough to protect himself. As for completing the orange-level mission? It is not necessary.

Although he can complete an orange-level mission with his profound foundation, being able to battle above realms.

The time wasted was not worth it. There is also an inherent risk to this endeavor.

More importantly, although the Dark Forgotten Forest is dangerous. This is only applicable to others, not him!

The reason for this is his ghostly concealment cloak. If a Dao Seed Realm expert cannot fully pierced through his concealment, what more can a beast do?

He doubted that there is a beast in the Dark Forgotten Forest that is capable of seeing through his concealment!

Thus, to him, this mission is in fact, relatively easy.

After taking way the jade slip, he visited the trading area of the Sword Cloud Manor. His goal here is to obtain a detail map of the Cangwu Region and a few useful talisman as well as formations.

This is to help prepare him for the venture outside the Sword Cloud Manor.

Finally, after obtaining what he needed, he departed for the Dark Forgotten Forest. Shi Jing left without saying a word to Lin Xue or Chen Lian.

In the end, this journey overall would take seven days.

At this time of the year, the snow continue to pile. Mortal hurdle in their home with small fire, while some children are cold sick.

On the fourth day, Shi Jing spotted a small village.
