My Martial Arts Can Train Themselves

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yang Yi informed the disciple on duty of his cultivation base and requirements.

In short, this was his first mission. He did not want time-consuming or labor-intensive tasks, and he could accept some level of risk.

The disciple on duty made a record and gave Yang Yi a deep look.

Basically, those who made such requirements did not need to worry about contribution points. They were also cautious in dealing with the world. Yang Yi was not the only person with such requirements.

“I see. Wait a moment.”

The disciple on duty took the records and left the counter.

Yang Yi observed the other disciples while he waited.

After waiting for a moment, the disciple on duty returned to the counter again. In his hand was a stack of small books that were bounded by iron rings.

“These missions meet your requirements. You can choose from among them.”

The disciple on duty placed the mission booklet on the table and then motioned for the disciple behind him to come forward. He was very familiar with the job.

Yang Yi flipped through the mission booklet that looked like a card.

“Need one 100-years fire cloud fungus. It grows at the cliffs on the eastern side of the mountains. Reward: 80 contribution points. Mission time limit… — Harmony Court.”

“Delivery escort. The route is from Caiyun Town to Feixiao City is estimated to take eight days. Reward: 120 contribution points. Mission time limit… — Caiyun Town’s Black Water Gang.”

“Wumei Village is currently suffering from a plague of rats. They’re at the Skin Refining stage, with the possible existence of a rat king. Recommended for a Bone Refining disciple or multiple Blood Refining disciples to work on this. Reward: 160 contribution points. Time limit for the mission… — Wumei Village.”

Flipping through the pages, Yang Yi saw that the mission rewards were basically around 100 contribution points. Completing one was equivalent to paying a month’s worth of tribute. This meant that the missions were somewhat difficult.

Yang Yi was more interested in the task of escorting the goods. The others either involved handing in items or facing demonic beasts. There was too much uncertainty in them.

The Black Water Gang was the main entity responsible for escorting the goods. He would only be there to make up the numbers. It was a relatively easy mission. The only issue he had with it was the duration of the mission.

Outside the Qixia sect, he might not be able to find a place where he could collect spirit accumulation points.

That would be a huge loss!

He was having trouble to make up his mind.

Yang Yi suddenly saw another mission.

“Escort a hunter and his grandson into Sky Light Mountain to collect the morning dew from ghost weeds. Involves camping for a night. Reward: 25 contribution points. Time limit for the mission… — A Hunter from Wumei Village.”

Sky Light Mountain was not far away from the sect. It was on the outskirts of the Sunset Mountains. Demonic beast encounters were rare there, and travelers also frequented the area. There have been no reports of anyone getting into trouble there.

The only difficulty of the mission was the need to sleep in the open overnight.

Yang Yi carefully examined the mission card. The time limit was approaching. It was tomorrow.

There were also traces of changes to the contribution points. They were now five points more than the original.

Presumably, nobody had taken an interest in this mission, so the publisher had no choice but to increase the reward.

“Senior Brother, I want to accept this mission.”

Yang Yi waited for the disciple on duty to be free before coming forward and voicing out his request.

“Are you sure? If the you fail the mission, three contribution points will be deducted,” the disciple on duty said.

“I understand. Please, sign me up for this.” Yang Yi handed over his pass.

He understood the rules of accepting missions.

In order to prevent some disciples from randomly accepting missions and causing losses to the person who issued the mission, if the mission failed due to subjective factors, the contribution points of the disciple who accepted the mission would be deducted by a certain percentage.

“Okay, the three contribution points will be deducted in advance. After the mission is completed, report back with the wooden token from the client. Your points will be returned to you with the reward.”

The disciple on duty lightly swiped Yang Yi’s pass before the sensing zone. After registering him, he returned the pass to Yang Yi.

“The client has been notified through the wooden token. Junior Brother, please be at the east entrance of Wumei Village by noon tomorrow. Someone will be waiting for you there. Good luck.” The disciple on duty smiled.

“Thank you, senior brother.” Yang Yi retrieved his pass.

Before he left, he glanced at the sensing area on the counter. He was quite interested in this kind of sensing technique.

However, he knew very well that in order to understand it, he would have to do better than be at the Strength Entry realm. At the very least, he would have to reach the Sati Transformation realm.

He left the Mission Hall without even seeing Xu Menghua.

He was a manager of the sect and must have been busy. Yang Yi felt that it was normal that he did not see him. In any case, he had already started on a basic mission, as he was requested to.

On the surface, this escort mission only gave a reward of 25 contribution points, but in reality, there were many things that could be obtained!

The most important thing was that the person who issued the mission was a hunter. Hunters had the clearest understanding of the surrounding mountains. They knew where the dangerous and safe regions were.

This way, even if he had to spend the night on this escort mission, his safety would be guaranteed.

Other than that, Yang Yi could also learn about the terrain of the surrounding mountains from the hunter.

In the future, whether it was going up the mountains to hunt or leaving in case of trouble, he would be able to adapt to the situation.

He was making plans for the future.

“Yang Yi?”

Jian Wenbin was also there at the entrance of the Mission Hall.

“You’re here as well?” he said.

“Yes. I picked a simple mission to try my hand.”

Yang Yi noticed that there was a handsome man beside Jian Wenbin.

“Hehe, that’s right. It’s not good to be cultivating all day.”

Jian Wenbin smiled. He was happy to see Yang Yi take on missions. Otherwise, when he took on missions to earn contribution points, Yang Yi’s cultivation base would continue to improve. That would widen the gap between their progress, and he did not want that to happen.

“I took on a mission with Senior Brother Shen Ge. We’re dealing with a few Skin Refining demonic beasts. We’re departing tonight.” Jian Wenbin emphasized the “demonic beasts”.

Shen Ge was also an outer disciple. He had been at the Blood Refining stage for a long time. He might not have the aptitude, but his strength was not to be underestimated. He was experienced in dealing with Skin Refining demonic beasts.

“Good luck.” Yang Yi was not familiar with Shen Ge, so he merely nodded cursorily at him.

He could see from Shen Ge’s eyes that the latter was confident in this mission.

Jian Wenbin pulled Yang Yi to the side and asked him why Xu Menghua called him away yesterday to which Yang Yi smiled and gave a vague answer.

Jian Wenbin comforted him, “Manager Xu is a straightforward man. He can be harsh sometimes, but he has a kind heart. If anything happens, don’t take it to heart. I feel sorry for him, to be honest…”

After saying that, he left with Shen Ge.

Yang Yi was stunned by his statement. He guessed that Jian Wenbin might have misunderstood something.

He knew that Xu Menghua was doing it out of kindness. Otherwise, he would not have come to the Mission Hall.

After thinking about it for a while, he turned around and went to the medicine pavilion. There were many natural treasures, spiritual herbs, and spiritual medicine sold there. Of course, there were also some miscellaneous items.

For example, there were insect repellent incense, big appetite pills, beast luring pills, purple poison powder, and other items that had miraculous effects under certain circumstances.

This was going to be his first trip out of the sect. He wanted to be well prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

The effects of the beast luring pill and purple poison powder were especially remarkable. Yang Yi bought a big bag of each.

Everyone else inside the medicine pavilion was looking at him. The disciple on duty repeatedly asked him about the purpose of buying them, in case he was planning to do something illegal.

“With these, even if I encounter a Blood Refining demonic beast, I have nothing to worry about!” Yang Yi left the medicine pavilion, satisfied.

In fact, he was still being modest.

With such a huge amount of purple poison powder, even Spiral Force demonic beasts would be wary of him, let alone Blood Refining demonic beasts.

However, even though the beasts would be wary of him, there was no guarantee that Yang Yi would be able to draw out full potential of the items.

Yang Yi pinned the two bags on his waist. He planned to return to the wooden hut and try to incorporate them into his fighting strategy.

For example, he could scatter a handful of poison powder and toss a beast luring pill mid-fight to catch his opponents off guard.
