Chapter 22

"Handsome master!"

A female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Many male players turned around narcissistically, wondering if the other party was calling them.

Including Lin Jichen...

Of course, the other party was indeed calling him.

"Sister Wanling, it's really him!"

Two female players wearing the outer hall clothing of the Sword Sect walked towards Lin Jichen.

Lin Jichen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Su Wanling, a rich woman, here.

But he didn't have any other ideas. He and Su Wanling were just business partners. He sold and she paid.

The relationship was very simple.

Su Wanling had expected to meet Lin Jichen. After all, she had seen Lin Jichen's letter, which was from the Sword Sect.

"Why did you come to Tianyan Sword Sect?" Lin Jichen asked curiously.

Su Wanling asked back: "Can only men come to Tianyan Sword Sect?"

"Of course not, I just asked casually."

Su Wanling still explained to Lin Jichen.

"We have all kinds of professions in Yueying Guild, it depends on personal preference. I prefer to use swords, so I naturally choose Sword Sect."

Lin Jichen nodded, indicating that he understood.

He felt that there was nothing to say, so he was too lazy to waste time, and said politely: "I still have to do the task, let's talk next time."

With that, Lin Jichen hurried away again.

Su Wanling wanted to chat with Lin Jichen again, but she didn't expect that Lin Jichen was gone again like last time.

"This guy, he left before I finished talking." Su Wanling couldn't help muttering.

"This handsome guy is so cold, sister Wanling, you are so beautiful but you can't impress him, it seems that it will be very difficult for sister Wanling to pursue him." The woman next to her said with a smile.

Su Wanling rolled her eyes at her and said, "Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to chase him?"

"You kept staring at his back after he left, and you left before you finished talking. Didn't you want to chase him?"

Su Wanling gave her a chestnut in annoyance and said, "I was looking at the Sword Sect clothes he was wearing, which were different from ours. I just wanted to ask him!"

"So it's not, it made me fantasize about a TV series where a girl chases a boy in vain."

"When will your operations be so imaginative? Don't waste time, hurry up and do the task. You only need three contribution points to exchange for the Tianyan Heart Sutra."

"Many sisters from other sects have already exchanged for the Heart Sutra, but we are the slowest. If we don't hurry up, the boss will deduct our wages if he knows."

After hearing this, the woman shrank her neck in fear, as if she was afraid of the boss Su Wanling mentioned. She didn't dare to joke anymore and followed obediently.

Lin Jichen came to the sect's task release point, and a huge wooden banner was hung with wooden signs.

There are words written on each wooden sign, all of which are various sect tasks.

Because there are no players in the foundation building stage yet, these wooden signs only have tasks in the Qi Refining stage.

The wooden signs are arranged in layers, from top to bottom, and each layer is marked with a red sword icon.

This icon indicates the difficulty of the task, which is simple, normal, difficult, extremely difficult, and hell, a total of five types.

The wooden sign task at the bottom has only one red sword, which represents the easiest difficulty.

The higher you go, the more swords there are. The highest level has the least wooden signs for tasks, but the most red swords, a total of five, representing the hell difficulty tasks.

There are also many players who receive tasks in front of the task bar. Everyone is busy doing tasks to get contributions in exchange for the Tianyan Heart Sutra.

After all, the temptation of all combat attributes +5% is not small.

They don’t know that Lin Jichen has learned the Tianyan Heart Sutra without doing contribution tasks at all.

Lin Jichen looked at the tasks of different difficulty levels. The tasks at the bottom were the simplest, which were all about collecting some earthly herbs, killing some earthly beasts, or helping out a certain department of the sect.

The tasks on the next level were a little more difficult, requiring hunting some Qi Refining Realm monsters, or going to places where monsters appeared to collect spiritual medicine, or doing some relatively far-flung errands.

The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes.

Lin Jichen originally just wanted to find a difficult task to finish his work, but when he saw the tasks on the top level.

There was a special task card in the task bar with five red small sword icons, and he took the wooden card down.

[Hell Mission]: Help Tianyan Sword Sect find the lost sect secrets.

[Task Introduction]: Zhang Hai, a disciple of the Qi Refining Realm Sword Sect, was killed while traveling, and his secrets were taken away. Please help Zhang Hai avenge his hatred and retrieve the lost sect secrets.

[Task Reward]: +100 low-grade spiritual stones, +100 sect contribution points, +1 high-grade Qi-gathering pill, +1 spiritual-grade martial arts, +1 spiritual-grade equipment.

[Task Tip]: This task is too difficult, and the murderer is not known yet. It is inferred that it is likely to be LianThis is done by a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. Disciples with low cultivation should choose carefully!

No one dares to take this task at present. After all, most players nowadays have not even reached the early stage of Qi Refining, and they are still in the mortal realm.

Moreover, the task prompt is an opponent with late stage of Qi Refining. Who dares to take such a task?

What's more, even the opponent's information and address are unknown. It is impossible to start a task without any clue.

The sect stipulates that in order to avoid repeated tasks, all disciples can only take one task at a time, and they can only take the next one unless they complete or give up.

Therefore, this task wooden sign with very generous rewards can only be hung there to bask in the sun.

After Lin Jichen took the wooden sign, many players nearby saw it and laughed at him.

"What does this guy mean? Do you want to accept this task?"

"You are kidding me. This task indicates that the opponent is in the late stage of Qi Refining. Take it with your head?"

"That's right. If you accept it now, you will die."

"I think this guy is just pretending. Just wait and see. He will put it back soon."

...

The discussion of the crowd did not disrupt Lin Jichen's plan.

He did not hesitate with the wooden sign in his pocket, nor did he put it back in its place. Instead, he handed it directly to the NPC disciple next to him for registration.

"Junior brother, do you really want to accept this task? This task is very dangerous. Senior brother advises you to wait until the middle or late stage of Qi Refining before accepting it. It will be safer."

The NPC disciple in charge of registration persuaded him kindly, with a good attitude and even respect.

The other players were shocked. This NPC was at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He was always arrogant to the new disciples like them and did not look at them straight in the eye.

They don't care who accepts the task. They just register after accepting it. They don't care what task you accept, and they won't care whether you live or die and advise you so kindly.

But this person is so attentive to Lin Jichen, and his attitude is as good as meeting an elder. He is so humble.

What's going on?

Hearing what he said just now, Lin Jichen must be just a Qi Refining rookie.

The NPC is a man, and it's impossible that he treats him so well just because Lin Jichen is handsome?

Could he be a gay? The kind who is good at fencing?

Everyone was thinking wildly.

Only Lin Jichen himself knew that these NPC disciples in the outer hall were not attracted by his appearance or cultivation.

Instead, they were attracted by the clothes of his inner hall disciples.
