As Ye Feng entered the Good Deeds Hall and arrived at the front hall, he immediately saw many disciples gathered around one notice board after another, browsing the tasks posted on the notice boards.
The tasks posted here are all kinds of things, some very easy and some quite difficult. Easy tasks naturally have fewer merit points, but difficult or very complicated tasks have more merit points.
Ye Feng is now at the peak of the Separation and Union Realm, and he also possesses the eighth-grade spiritual weapon, the Zhou Xing Sword. He has the power to fight even if he encounters a True Yuan Realm martial artist.
Since that was the case, Ye Feng ignored the easier tasks.
"Go to Yun Qingze to capture the sixth-grade demonic beast, the Mud Cloud Beast, for 4,000 merit points..."
"Go to Yunming City to resolve the strange rat infestation, 3,000 merit points..."
"Go to Ice Mirror Lake to collect 500 Mystic Ice Lotus Seeds, and you will receive 3,000 merit points..."
"Go to Purple Star Mountain and cultivate spiritual flowers and herbs for Elder Purple Thorn for ten days. You will receive 3,000 merit points..."
After looking around, Ye Feng found these few tasks to be the most cost-effective, so he didn't hesitate any longer and strode towards the back hall.
As soon as Ye Feng entered the back hall, he saw a wide, thick desk at the far end of the hall, behind which a young girl dressed in a pale yellow silk dress was writing furiously.
Many outer disciples, dressed in the robes of Shan Gong Tang staff, were busy processing paperwork for the disciples who came to hand over their tasks.
Ye Feng waited in line, and it took him more than fifteen minutes to finally get his turn.
"Name? Outer disciple or inner disciple? What mission have you taken?" Luo Mengxuan asked without looking up from her desk, who was writing furiously.
"Night Wind, inner disciple, accept the mission from Yun Qingze to capture the Mud Cloud Beast," Night Wind replied.
Luo Mengxuan stopped writing with her brush instantly, and then she slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Feng.
"So it was you." Luo Mengxuan's lips began to curl into a wide smile.
Ye Feng knew this woman was going to make things difficult for him, but his expression remained unchanged.
"It is indeed me, Senior Sister Luo," Ye Feng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You've only just become an inner disciple, and you're already in such a hurry to take on missions? Do you really need merit points that much? Wait a minute, you skipped the outer disciple stage and became an inner disciple directly, you should have ten thousand merit points available," Luo Mengxuan said.
“I do need good deeds,” Night Wind replied.
“Okay, I’ll process it for you now. Which mission did you say you wanted to take on?” Luo Mengxuan asked.
"Mission to capture the Mud Cloud Beast at Yun Qingze," Night Wind repeated.
"I'm sorry, this task has already been accepted by someone else. You're a step too late," Luo Mengxuan said without even glancing at the ledger in front of her.
“Then I’ll accept the mission to go to Yunming City to solve the rat infestation,” Night Wind said, settling for second best.
"This task has also been accepted by someone else."
"Then let's go to Ice Mirror Lake to pick Xuanbing Lotus Seeds."
"This mission is also cancelled."
"Head to Purple Star Mountain to serve Elder Purple Thorn..."
Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, Luo Mengxuan interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to assist Elder Zijing. Two junior brothers have already gone."
Night Wind figured it out.
Luo Mengxuan deliberately prevented me from taking on these high-value tasks.
She did it on purpose!
"Junior Brother Ye, why don't you go to the front hall and choose another task?" Luo Mengxuan said hypocritically.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No need. I'll listen to what you, Senior Sister Luo, have to do. Just give me whatever roles I'm good at and I'll do them."
"Good, you know what's good for you."
Luo Mengxuan flipped through the ledger for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She said with a sly smile, "Junior Brother Ye, you said you really need merit points, so I've found you a task with even higher merit points."
"The Yin Wind Cave on Qingxuan Peak needs someone to guard it, but no disciple is willing to go. This task can be repeated, and the merit points are calculated daily, five hundred per day."
Ye Feng nodded immediately after only a brief consideration.
Five hundred good deeds a day, ten days would amount to five thousand good deeds.
In comparison, taking on this task is more worthwhile than going to Purple Star Peak to cultivate medicinal herbs for Elder Zijing!
But Ye Feng knew that Luo Mengxuan would definitely not let him get away with it for nothing.
And if this task were really that good, how come no one would go and carry it out?
As expected, Luo Mengxuan continued, "Junior Brother Ye, it's wonderful that you're willing to serve and guard the Yin Wind Cave. But let me make this clear: the Yin Wind Cave is a dangerous place in our Xuanji Sect. The bone-scraping Yin wind blowing out of the cave has a strong corrosive effect on true qi."
"Therefore, guarding the entrance of Yinfeng Cave may be detrimental to your cultivation, and may even cause your realm to regress."
Ye Feng said nonchalantly, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister Luo. I will be careful."
"Then go now. You don't need to enter the Yin Wind Cave. You just need to guard the entrance. If any disciples accidentally wander into the hundred-zhang radius of the Yin Wind Cave, you must remind them to leave. This task is not difficult, so you can do it with confidence."
Without further hesitation, Ye Feng left Shan Gong Hall and flew towards Qing Xuan Peak.
As soon as the night breeze subsided, the disciples in the back hall of the Good Deeds Hall began to whisper among themselves.
"Does this Night Wind really not know how dangerous the Yin Wind Cave is, or has he lost his mind?"
"Yes, the Yinfeng Cave is such a dangerous place, yet he foolishly went there."
"Once he discovers that his true energy has been eroded by the yin energy, and that his cultivation level has even regressed, he won't even have a place to cry!"
"This is what happens when you offend Senior Sister Luo."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Senior Sister Luo hear you."
The night wind fell from the sky and stood at the entrance of the Yin Wind Cave on Qingxuan Peak.
Upon arriving here, Ye Feng felt a chill run through his body, and soon after, a very strange gust of cold wind suddenly blew out of the Yin Feng Cave.
The temperature of this cold wind wasn't very low, but it could still make people feel a strong chill. Moreover, after standing at the cave entrance and being blown by the cold wind for a while, Ye Feng felt that the flow of true energy in his body was somewhat sluggish.
But Ye Feng immediately activated his true energy shield, blocking all the yin wind from entering his body.
Above the Yinfeng Cave, the three large characters "Yinfeng Cave" are carved.
On a large rock next to the Yin Wind Cave, a line of hastily carved characters in a flamboyant style is displayed:
"This place is dangerous. Anyone below the True Essence Realm is not allowed to approach within a hundred feet!"
Night Wind calmly surveyed its surroundings, showing no fear despite the warning on the rocks.
"The cold wind here isn't too strong."
Cui Cui's voice rang in Ye Feng's mind.
Tian Mingyu immediately said, "You're a magic weapon, of course you don't feel its power. Mr. Ye, are you alright? Can you hold on?"
"I haven't recovered my strength yet because my injuries haven't healed. Don't really think of me as a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm," Ye Feng said irritably.
