Since his master was not informing anything about the outer sect and other things he decided to find them on his own by asking Nick.

"So, what mission did you pick, Nick?"

​​

Putting aside his thoughts, he asked about Nick's solo mission.

"I selected one herb picking mission as I will be selecting the alchemy profession when I reach the energy condensation realm," Nick gave his mission paper to Henrick as he replied with shining eyes as though he was very excited about it.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Selecting a profession?"

Just like always, Henrick was oblivious to what Nick was talking about and looked at him with confused eyes as though he was waiting for a reply.

"You don't know?" Nick was really surprised at this time with Henick's lack of knowledge regarding the professions.

"I know about professions like alchemist, blacksmith, artificer and many more; however, what I don't know is why will you select other professions when you are already gifted in cultivation?"

According to Henrick's knowledge regarding the professions was, those who were not gifted in cultivation or those who were extremely gifted in some specific profession would choose those professions.

However, Nick was already very gifted in cultivation as he had already refined his body more than three and entered the second stage of the muscle-strengthening realm.

"Don't tell me you are very gifted in alchemy too," Before Nick could give a reply, Henrick asked him only cultivators who were gifted in cultivation and a specific profession.

"Haha...maybe master has other plans for you," Nick felt a little funny when he saw Henrick's confused face as he continued, "The cultivation path is long and arduous. In that journey, a cultivator will be in so much stress and might turn into an insane person. So, in order to relax, the ancient cultivators decided to learn some professions along with their cultivation."

"So, to relax from the cultivation stress, you decided to learn alchemy?" Henrick felt this concept was interesting as he asked Nick.

"Yes. Moreover, with these so-called professions, a cultivator will be benefited a lot. For example, if I learn alchemy, then I can create my own pills and even sell them to the sect in exchange for other resources,"

Nodding his head, Nick continued to explain the benefits of learning Alchemy.

"Right! Also, the alchemists will be widely respected anywhere in the human world," Henrick understood why Nick was very much excited in learning alchemy.

"Yes. It is my main reason for learning," Nick replied with a slight smile on his face.

"So, tell me. Why do we need to wait till we reach the energy condensation realm?" Holding two papers in his hands, Henrick asked another question.

"The first two realms, Body cleansing realm and the Muscle strengthening realm are not the actual starting point of the cultivation," Nick was also too involved into the conversation with Henrick as he explained Henrick with patience.

"What? So, the energy condensation realm is the true starting point," Henrick was surprised for a moment before he nodded his head in understanding.

Earlier, when he entered the body cleansing realm, he was already very happy thinking; however, after learning that he was yet to enter the true starting point in the cultivation, Henrick bitterly smiled to himself.

"Yes, you should pick a profession to your liking too," Nick nodded his head and suggested Henrick to select a profession for himself.

"I will think about it," However, Henrick decided to think about it later as he had to complete the missions first.

While saying that, Henrick looked at Nick's mission.

"Collect 100 fire wisp flowers?"

Henrick briefly read the mission details and as he looked at Nick for a moment before giving back the mission paper to Nick.

"Yes. The fire wisp flowers are the main ingredient in refining the fire bloodline awakening pills. After I become an alchemist, my first pill will be those pills. So, I wanted to collect these flowers….."

"Are you staying in that room forever or will you come out and register your missions here?"

Before Henrick could finish his words, the earlier old woman's voice resounded in the room making them come out of their question and answer session.

"Let's go. We will talk after leaving the mission hall,"

Henrick knew it was better not to anger the old cultivators. So, he suggested going back.

Soon, they walked out of the Newbie missions room and went to the old woman.

"Give me the mission papers you pick from the room,"

As soon as they reached the counter, the old woman asked for the mission papers from both Henrick and Nick.

"Collect 100 fire wisp flowers...Good,"

"Clear one of the caves filled with red ghouls is your group mission, right? Are you two confident in clearing this cave?"

The old woman took the missions papers from them and continued to read them out loud; however, when she read their group mission, she raised her brows and asked for their confirmation.

"Yes, Elder Shi. We want to try it. Moreover, we already reached the muscle strengthening realm," Henrick remained silent as though he didn't hear her when the old woman asked the question whereas Nick replied to her with a determined look on his face.

"Haha...just a little muscle strengthening realm cultivators and you are already this arrogant," The old woman looked at Henrick and scoffed at him for his attitude.

"Huh? What did I do, Elder Shi?" Henrick didn't understand what he did to make the old woman angry.

In actuality, Henrick was observing the items around him and didn't focus on the old woman's words; however, Elder Shi misunderstood him for being arrogant by not paying attention when registering his mission.

"You better focus on what you do and don't stare at your surroundings. If something happens, even your master will not be able to help you," the old woman warned him and asked, "Now, give me your mission."
