C15 Indestructible Mystic Scripture!

[Beep! Holy Grade Supreme Cultivation Technique Detected — Indestructible Mystic Scripture (Basic Edition). Mission initiated.]

[System Comment: As a host, shouldn't you possess an impressive cultivation technique at your side?]

[Mission: Acquire the Indestructible Mystic Scripture (Basic)]

[Reward: 1000 experience points and a Dimensional Pocket of 10 cubic meters!]

As Lin Xuan's eyes landed on the Indestructible Mystic Scripture, labeled as a Low-Grade Supreme cultivation technique, a flurry of urgent system notifications echoed in his mind!

"Holy Grade cultivation technique? Can that be right?"

The moment Lin Xuan grasped that the system classified the Indestructible Mystic Scripture as Holy Grade, his brain froze, and he was momentarily stunned.

Even as a novice, Lin Xuan was acutely aware of the scarcity of a Holy Grade Supreme cultivation technique. After all, the most esteemed technique in Sky Star City was the Nie Family's Heart Sutra!

Yet, the Heart Sutra was merely a Low-Grade Supreme technique, and it had propelled the Nie Family to the pinnacle of Sky Star City's elite!

"How can the Lin Family possess such a treasure? This is no Low-Grade Supreme technique; it's Holy Grade..."

Lin Xuan kept these thoughts to himself, feeling a surge of emotion.

"Had I not been blessed with this system, I might have completely overlooked such an incredible fortune!"

Lin Xuan's grip tightened. He peered at the bookshelf, where beneath the scroll of the Indestructible Mystic Scripture, a few lines of fine print issued a caution from the Lin Family to those aspiring to practice this technique:

"The Indestructible Mystic Scripture was fortuitously acquired by an ancestor of our Lin Family a century ago and has been recognized as a Low-Grade Supreme cultivation technique, on par with basic mental cultivation methods."

"This technique, however, consists only of the basic chapter and is suitable solely for Spirit Cultivators. Our family's explorations have confirmed that once undertaken, it cannot be abandoned for another. Without the subsequent chapters, a cultivator's progress will halt at the Peak of Spirit Cultivation."

"Members of the Lin Family, choose with utmost caution and deliberation. Bear this in mind—always."

When Lin Xuan caught sight of the text, he instinctively dismissed the Indestructible Mystic Scripture. It was, after all, a low-level cultivation technique, and compromising his future for it would be utterly irrational.

But now, the situation had changed. With the system's support, Lin Xuan was completely unfazed!

Moreover, the rewards for mastering the Indestructible Mystic Scripture were tantalizing: not only 1000 experience points for leveling up but also a ten-cubic-meter Dimensional Pocket!

"This Dimensional Pocket must be like the Storage Space mentioned in those fantasy novels from my past life!"

What a treasure!

Resolved, Lin Xuan headed straight for the Lin family's Replacement Hall. To acquire the Indestructible Mystic Scripture, he needed 2000 Contribution Points, which he could only earn by completing the family's assigned missions.

The Replacement Hall was a short distance from the library, and Lin Xuan arrived promptly. The entrance was bustling with vendors hawking their wares, reminiscent of a lively marketplace.

"Extraordinary news! The price of Foundation Establishment Pills has dropped! Now only 50 Contribution Points each! Act fast if you want them!"

"Come and see, a century-old lingzhi mushroom that can significantly boost your cultivation, all for just 200 Contribution Points!"

"Don't pass by this deal! A low-grade, low-quality spiritual technique, Ice Heart Fist, for a mere 800 Contribution Points—a steal!"

"Get a bargain without being duped! Low-grade, low-quality Blood Bathing Sword, not for 1998, not even 998, just 888 Contribution Points! Take this weapon home!"

Lin Xuan was left speechless by the spectacle. What in the world was this? These vendors were marketing prodigies, wasted in this fantasy realm!

As he was about to weave through the throng and enter the Replacement Hall for his mission, a yellow-robed youth nearby suddenly grabbed him and exclaimed, "Brother, you must be new here! Your physique is extraordinary—a natural martial arts prodigy. I have two Foundation Establishment Pills that, if you take them, will solidify your foundation and ensure you become an indomitable grandmaster in the future!"

"Since you're aware that I'm the new guy around here, how could you not figure out that I don't have a single Contribution Point to my name?"

Lin Xuan shot the guy a look that screamed, 'You think I'm the fool? Looks like you're the real fool here.' The other man was left dumbstruck, taking a good while to regain his composure. Shaking his head, he squatted back down by his stall, spat disdainfully, and muttered, "Psh, thought we had a big spender on our hands. Turns out he's just another broke dude!"

Lin Xuan didn't give him another moment's attention and strode into the Replacement Hall.

Inside, the hall was bustling with people, yet unlike the disarray at the entrance, everything was in perfect order.

Most of the missions available here were posted by members of the Lin family, though a handful were requests from outsiders seeking the family's assistance, which had been directed to the Replacement Hall.

Each mission was unique, and accordingly, the rewards in Contribution Points varied significantly.

Lin Xuan's eyes first landed on the section of the bulletin board that listed the missions with the highest Contribution Points.

"Venture into the Abyssal Forest and slay an adult Devil Ape to retrieve its pituitary gland. The mission must be completed within seven days. Reward: 300 Contribution Points!"

"Note: The Devil Ape is an exceptionally sly and intelligent Demon Beast. An adult typically possesses the strength of a High Grade of Low Rank and has immense power. Do not underestimate it. Team formation is recommended for this mission. It is not advisable for Spirit Cultivators below the Ninth Level to attempt this; any mishaps will be their own responsibility."

"Embark on a mission to the Abyssal Forest to hunt an adult crocodile and collect its entire hide. The mission must be completed within five days. Reward: 500 Contribution Points!"

"Note: The adult crocodile is massive but slow-moving, generally at the strength of a High Grade of Low Rank. Its hide is a prized natural material for crafting armor, impervious to blades and as tough as metal. Its sole vulnerability lies in its eyes. These creatures typically inhabit dark, damp swamps in groups and pose a high level of danger."

"It is advised to form a team for this mission, and it is not recommended for Spirit Cultivators below the Ninth Level to accept this challenge!"

"Venture into the Abyssal Forest and slay an adult Five-colored Python to retrieve its gallbladder. You have three days to complete this task. Reward: 1000 Contribution Points. Urgent!"

"Note: An adult Five-colored Python typically possesses the strength of a High Grade Low Rank. Its girth rivals that of a water bucket, and it measures at least 20 meters in length. Its venom is exceedingly toxic; contact is fatal for anyone below the rank of Spirit Warrior, and there is no known antidote. This mission is highly perilous, and it is recommended to tackle it as a team. Disciples below the rank of Spirit Warrior are advised against accepting this challenge."

"..."

The higher the Contribution Points offered, the greater the peril that came with them. Lin Xuan stood no chance on his own; such tasks were feasible only for a Spirit Warrior.

"I think I can handle the Devil Ape by myself. The Giant Crocodile may travel in packs, but they're slow movers, so there's an opportunity there. However, the Five-colored Python is just too daunting. Anyone below the rank of Spirit Warrior risks instant death upon contact with its venom..."

Despite Lin Xuan's mental preparation, he hadn't anticipated how arduous it would be to earn Contribution Points. Even if he managed to complete all three missions, he would amass only 1800 points, still short of what he needed to obtain the Indestructible Mystic Scripture.
